"WHAT?!" Harry yelled. Everyone was staring at them now.
"It's true. For some reason, Lucius felt I was pureblood, and was determined to prove it. I'll have to go retrieve my stuff in a few minutes," Hermione whispered as Ron walked over to see why Harry was yelling.
"What was that for?" Ron asked as he plopped down next to Harry.
"No reason," Harry muttered. He was wondering who her mother was, she had not said.
"I'd best be off," Hermione said and left before Ron or Harry could say anything to stop her.
She left Hogwarts grounds and apparated to her old home. She explained to the muggles that she had to leave, and why. She quickly gathered her necessities and returned to the school. Draco was waiting in the common room when she entered. He had "that smirk" on.
'Oh gawd, I don't feel like putting up with him right now.' She did love him, but she needed some time to herself. Luckily, he did not move and she got into her room without him speaking, but he watched her go, he kept his trademark smirk on the whole time. She turned on the bath and made it extremely warm. She sunk into the tub and thought. How could so much happen to one person, in such little time? She sighed.
After she finished soaking in her bath, she got out and changed into some jeans and a t-shirt. She walked out into the common room, where Draco was still sitting on the couch; he was looking into the fire. He looked up to see her standing there.
"Get on a robe."
"Why?"
"Snape wants to talk to us."
"Oh," she said, then slowly walked back into her room and put a robe on over her outfit. She came back out and Draco accompanied her downstairs. The couple walked into Snape's office where Lucius and Severus were waiting. All three men smiling, Hermione was now on the verge of breaking down.
'Too... much...'
"Yes? Why am I needed?" Hermione asked as she walked over to her father's desk.
"You and Draco," he started, "are to marry."
"What?" Hermione said and blinked. She really loved Draco, and did want to marry him, but she did not want to be forced to.
"You and Draco are betrothed," Lucius said, a slight smile on his face.
'Calm down, Hermione. Pull yourself together. You are only dreaming, you have been studying too hard.' Hermione tried to reassure herself, but she knew this was all real. She was extremely tired and had had too much to deal with that day. After a few moments, she passed out.
