Here's Chapter 5. I know it's short but they'll be longer when it gets more * interesting * and there's three songs in this chapter, and don't worry their near the bottom.

Hermione and Draco spent the rest of the summer together, but Hermione didn't tell Harry and Ron about her *newfound friend* and Draco didn't tell Crabbe and Goyle about his.

Tomorrow they would be heading to Kings Cross station, for another ride to Hogwarts to begin there seventh and final year.

~***~

"So, are you all packed?" Draco asked Hermione. While swinging on the pair of swings, at the children's park, halfway down their street.

"Yeah, are you?"

"Almost."

Silence. Another one of those awkward silent moments, neither of them was mad, just not thankful that the summer was ending. Because deep down they knew, that the friendship they have (probably soon to be had) would stop at Hogwarts. Isn't it strange, that when you find somebody that you like, everything comes between you and that person, and nothing ever works?

~***~

As they were walking back to their houses, Draco stopped Hermione.

He gave her a package. Hermione slowly opened it up. It was a necklace, white and cubed, it was very pretty.

"Why are you giving me this?" She asked curiously. * Something has definitely gotten into him *

"It's so you'll remember me."

Hermione laughed. "We'll see eachother tomorrow."

"Not really." Draco said sadly and walked away.

Hermione stared after him. And after five minutes she headed for his house. She was standing on his steps, didn't know what to say or what to do, just stood there.

~Suddenly I'm standing at your door

and the steps don't feel like they did before

the radio's playing loud but it's not our song~ O-town, Suddenly.

Realization struck her. He was right, it wouldn't be the same. And how much did the Head Boy and Head Girl do together? This wasn't fair. Of course, nothing in life was. What if she forgot about him? What if he forgot about her? What if they both forgot about their summer together? Could she forget this though? .. Atleast she had the necklace. She knew she sounded dumb, because they would see eachother, but what would happen when she was with Harry and Ron? So confusing, and tomorrow would be so much pain, when she would be walking with Harry and Ron, and he with Crabbe and Goyle, and all of the summer's moments forgotten, untill they weren't with their friends. But just passing eachother would be hard. Not knowing to just talk, or just walk by. Not knowing if he's mad at her, not knowing what to do. Something you couldn't find in a book, the one thing Hermione hated. Not knowing what to do.

Hermione was staring at the door, for what seemed like forever. She was now back in her house, under her warm blankets, but she was too worried about Draco and the summer.

~***~

Draco lay in his bed, face with dried tears. All the good times for nothing, nothing at all, except a memory, but who wants a memory?

I tried

so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter ^ Linkin Park, In the End ^

~***~

Hermione, got out of bed, and went outside. She needed some fresh air. Somebody, started to walk towards her, it was Draco.

"Came out here for some fresh air also?"

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep."

"Me neither." Hermione started to cry. Draco, not really sure what to do, just hugged her.

They stood there for quite a while, Hermione crying, Draco uneasy. * Hanging on a moment *

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

Closer where I Started

Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you

letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

forgetting all I'm lacking

completely incomplete

I'll take your invitation

you take all of me

now.. I'm falling even more in love with you

letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing i know

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

i don't know what I'm diving into

just hanging by a moment here with you

there's nothing else to lose

nothing left to find

there's nothing in the world

that could change my mind

there is nothing else

there is nothing else...

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

Closer where I Started

Chasing after you

I'm falling even more in love with you

letting go of all I've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know

I'm running and not quite sure where to go

I don't know what I'm diving into

just hanging by a moment here with you

just hanging by a moment

hanging by a moment..

Hanging by a moment...

hanging by a moment here with you..



There's Chapter five! I know, I know, the chapter wasn't long enough, but there will be more in later chapters. I have basically most of the story line, all in my head, and I'll try to write a few chapters a day.

The characters and things do not belong to me they belong to J.K Rowling. The songs belong to O-Town, Linkin Park, and Lifehouse. (They seemed to fit in well with what was going on in the story, plus I always have a part of a song in every chapter so this time you got three) wow! :p Anyhow that's all for now.
