A/N: Hermione and Draco are both OoC(Out of Character)
Without further ado...Chapter 3:
That night the whole school found out at dinner, but Dumbledore said that they were still going on with the ball. He also said they needed to keep their mind on their studies, and they would be told when the funeral would be taking place. No one wanted to believe that such a nice boy had died. Everyone from every house truly liked him which was unusual, to say the least, for a Slytherin. Everyone was quite suspicious because of Kelsey's actions. She didn't seem sad in the least and
everyone thought that was odd, there were even rumors going around that she had killed Ben, but no one could think of any reason she would, so it died quickly.
Hermione knew that the reason she didn't seem sad was that she still seemed to be in shock, and she told people this, which helped to cool the rumor quickly.
After dinner, Hermione went to talk to Draco. She knew she couldn't really talk to him with all of his Slytherin friends around, so as she walked by the Slytherin table she gave him a pleading, follow me kind of look and she just hoped he would notice. He obviously did, because a minute later, she heard footsteps behind her. She just kept walking, making it appear as though she was just walking around the castle, so people wouldn't get ideas about her and Draco. She walked into an empty room. Almost as soon as she entered she was joined by Draco.
"Did you want something Hermione?"
"Yeah. We need to talk."
"About what?"
"About what happened in the kitchen."
"What about it?"
"Well I'm pretty sure that when you walked in and saw me you wanted to leave, but you didn't for some random reason."
"Yeah."
"And the next thing I know, you kiss me, and I've never been kissed like that before. I just want to know what happened to the last 4 years."
"I don't honestly know. It just kind of hit me that you really are beautiful and I felt that kiss, and it felt like no other. I don't care about the fact that you're muggle born. That doesn't matter to me anymore. And you probably think I'm lying or making this all up, but I'm not. Please believe me Hermione!! I'm begging you!"
Hermione could see in his eyes that he was telling the truth. She smiled kissed Draco on the cheek and hugged him.
"You know Mione..."
*blushes* "Mione...I like that."
"Well being with you almost makes me forget that Ben died." He just smiled at her.
Just then Hermione noticed the room they were in. It was a beautiful room. It's walls were a shiny kind of silvery-purple, with thick purple carpet. There was a beautiful picture of a unicorn with a girl next to it, in a white cloak, holding a single red rose. There was a white couch against a wall, and a small pedestal with a tiara on it. There was a small plaque on the pedestal as well.
"Ooh Draco look at this!"
She walked over to the pedestal and examined the tiara more carefully. It was white gold with pink sapphires in the shape of roses. Draco started reading the small plaque.
To the young lady who finds this room, and this tiara, you are destined to be great. To the young man who is with her: place the tiara on her head, for she is your queen and you are meant to be together. You will be the only people who will ever be able to access this room. Good luck to both of you. Juliet McKorder~ Headmistress 1308-1345.
"Wow Mione. I don't know what to say."
"Me either. This is crazy. I'm in shock."
"Well shall I put this tiara on you now, or do you want to wait?" He said picking up the tiara very gingerly, as though it were glass. Hermione walked up to him. She was the perfect height for him only 6 inches shorter. He placed the tiara on her head, and it seemed that there was a glow emanating from her body.
"You look amazing. You were born to wear that tiara." Draco said pulling Hermione into a soft kiss. It lasted just a second, but it was the most powerful thing either of them had ever experienced. They broke away and they smiled at each other and just hugged for five minutes.
"We should probably go Draco. People might get worried if 2 prefects are missing for too long."
*A/N: Forgot to mention before, Draco is the Slytherin prefect, Hermione from Gryffindor, Justin Flinch-Fletchely from Hufflepuff, and Padma Patil from Ravenclaw.*
"Yeah you're right."
Hermione had turned to leave but Draco pulled her hand. She turned and looked at him.
"Just one last thing. I love you Hermione."
"I love you too, Draco!" Hermione said. She placed the tiara back on the pedestal and ran out the door, to her common room, feeling as if nothing in the world could bring her down at that moment.
Draco didn't want to go to common room, so he decided to go on a walk around the grounds. He was walking near the forest on the farthest edge of the grounds in a very secluded area when he saw someone. He stopped and looked around. He turned around and saw his father.
"Hello Draco."
