Hey guys sorry I could update sooner. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to put next. I really don't exactly know where I'm going with this story, but I'm considering a certain ending that will require a sequel, wut do u think? Well anyways here's the long awaited next chapter!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A week had passed since the first meeting between the twins and Draco. They had decided to keep the conversations that they had with him a secret until they could be sure that it was is in all their best interests to bring their parents back together.

"Phobos? I think that we should write to dad, I mean we have so much to tell him! We made the house team! We are so dumb to not have told him as soon as we found out!" Deimos said.

"Ohmygosh! You're right!" Phobos replied. "I can't believe we forgot to tell him! He'll be absolutely ecstatic! Maybe he'll even come back earlier to watch our first match! Do you think he'll come?" asked Phobos hopefully.

"Well, it's worth a try! I mean he would be upset if he missed his children's 1st match." Deimos stated. Deimos quickly summoned a quill and some parchment and began to write:

Hey Dad!!!! Sorry we haven't written it kind of slipped our mind in all the excitement. What excitement you might ask? Well here's what made us excited. Do you really want to know? I guess you don't, you don't seem all that excited. OUCH! I better tell you Phobos jsut smacked me for keeping you in suspence. I was just trying to be funny! Anyway, we made the Gryffindor House team!!!! Now are you excited! I got the position as beater and Phobos is a chaser. Well the reason we are writing you isn't just to tell you about our success but also to extend an invitation to you! You see our first match is tomorrow, against Hufflepuff. We know it's extremely short notice but we would really like you to come. Please reply ASAP! We hope to see you there!

XOXO Deimos & Phobos Cemberdrake P.S. Send the reply with our new owl Midnight!

"Phobos can you go get Midnight from the owlrey?" Deimos asked sealing the letter in an envelope. Phobos bounded up to the owlrey and returned with Midnight in record time. They gave the letter to her and gave her intructions on who to give it too and to wait for a reply. Phobos opened the window, and Midnight flew into the morning sky. "I hope we get a reply by this afternoon," said Phobos. Deimos nodded in agreement and they headed down to the Great Hall for some breakfast.

SWITCH POV'S HERMIONE!

Hermione sat in her room dreading the fact that she had to go downstairs and face the whole school. Lately she had been moaping about un willing to do almost anything. She gathered her strength and willed her eyes to go back to her normal color. She stared in the mirror and smiled with her results. Checking her hair one last time and slipping her wand inside her robe she made her way down to the great hall.

"Hermione hold up will you!" yelled Lavender.

Hermione instantly stopped walking and waited for her friend. Lavender caught up to Hermione completely out of breath.

"Lord, I didn't know I was this out of shape" she managed between gasps of air. When she finally caught her breath they continued on their way to the great hall with Lavender casting worried glances at Hermione every so often.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" she finally asked.

"No, it's not that... I'm just worried about you. Can't a girl be concerned about one of her best friends?" Lavender stated.

"I'm fine." Hermione said firmly as they sat down at the head table. They began to eat talking about the upcoming Hogsmeade weekend and tomorrow's match. When...

..::BOOM::..

Everyone quickly looked up at the heavy sound of the hall door slowly opening. Hermione bit her lip at the sight that was now laid out before her... Draco. Not only was he at the school again earlier than expected, but it seemed as if he had brought a little friend along as well.

There clinging tightly to his arm was a tall female with long black hair and brown eyes. He stalked towards Hermione desperately trying to shake off the woman on his arm.

He smiled as he walked past his children. Deimos deciding to take the initiative cast a murmured spell. Instantly the long black hair of the woman was bright orange and covered with vomit green goo. Phobos deciding to join in on the fun grew the woman's nose to the size of Snape's.

The hall burst into laughter as the ditzy female finally realized that they were laughing at her. She pulled out a small mirror to inspect herself. She dropped her mirror, shrieked and ran quickly out of the hall. Draco glanced at his son and gave him a wink in approval. He then walked to them. "Good job both of you, I thought she was going to yank my arm clear off my body! I was going to answer your letter, but as I always say... actions speack louder than words. So here I am!" he said smiling. "In that case good job to you to Dad!" said the twins at the same time. The turned to each other and glared, hating when they spoke at the same time, Draco laughed heartily, "I have to talk to your mum for a second okay, I'll be back later."

He continued on his journey to speak to Hermione, but when he reached there Hermione had already disappeared. "Lavender, where did she go? We really need to talk." he said urgently.

Lavender always extremely protective of her friends turned a glare on Draco.

"I don't know Draco, and why would you care? Besides don't you have a willing female somewhere waiting for you? I suggest you go to her, and leave Hermione alone. You should have known better than to bring another one of your sluts here, especially while Hermione is watching. You Draco Malfoy, have no shame. You are a tactless, conceited, arrogant, twit and Hermione was right leaving you."

At this Lavender stood up and walked to where she knew her friend would be... the astronomy tower.

"Hermione you can't run from him forever, yes I know that he flaunts these women right in front of your face, but you either need to move on without him or finally admit what your heart has been trying to tell you all along. Although personally I say to forget the jackass and move on to bigger better things" said Lavender soothingly to her friend.

Hermione looked up at Lavender, "I know that Lav, it's just hard, ya know? I've loved him for so long and he hurt me so much. And I know what I said I'd do, but..." she flopped down hopelessly on one of the overstuffed arm- chairs, "I'm just so confused! I wish that someone would just tell me what to feel, cuz I sure as hell can't do this on my own."

"well that's what we're here for mum!" replied Phobos from the doorway, "We may only be 15 years old, but when it comes to your happiness and your life. We know more than you think." she finished.

"And in order to do that, we have to start off with our experience with him," joined Deimos, "from what we can tell, mum, he still loves you. Yes we both want you together, but it's not just that. We've seen you when you thought we weren't watching, looking at old photos of the two of you." "We've heard you when you thought we were asleep, crying yourself to sleep just to end up dreaming of him. Mum you love him, and he loves you, just follow your heart mum, that's what you always tell us to do. We realize that at times you are stubborn and we are pretty sure that this whole conversation will do little to sway you in the direction that we would like. But we just need you to know how we feel." finished Phobos for her brother.

Lavender and Hermione both gawked at how articulately the twins got their point across. Completely stunned the only thing Lavender could say was, "We've all got to run along now, class will be starting in a couple of minutes and we don't want to be late for our classes, now do we?" The four of them silently made their way to their respective classes. Hermione sat at her desk in her classroom waiting for her students to come into the room. Quietly thinking of the events of just a few minutes earlier, her thoughts were interrupted by one of her students.

"Professor? Professor Cemberdrake? Are you alright? Hello??? Professor? Class is supposed to begin!" said a 3 year student. This snapped Hermione out of her thoughts.

"Oh yes, you're right! It's best that we begin now isn't it!" Hermione exclaimed suddenly jumping from her seat. Hermione taught her lesson quickly, then set everyone to work with a partner on the curse that she just taught them. Soon all the classes were over and all of the students and teachers were gathering in the great hall. Draco who had been searching for Hermione the whole day finally caught up to her after dinner.

"Hermione!" Draco yelled. She stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Hermione we need to talk." said Draco grabbing her arm so she could leave. Draco watched as Hermione's eyes changed from its normal brown color to a startling silver.

"Oh really now, do we really Draco? Or is it actually you scream while I cower? Keep on dreaming Draco. I am not going to let you upset me again. I've learned my lesson. Why are you here anyway? You're early, scratch that... I don't give a flying fuck. Go back and fun with your little slut!" She wrenched her arm out of his grasp and continued to stomp up to her room.

Draco completely confused watches her as she angrily leaves him. 'I really need to tell you that our children are in danger, Hermione. Note to self never make her mad again.' he thought to himself. 'I'll talk to her tomorrow at the Quidditch match, when she's not so pissed off at me. We still have some time left... I hope.'
