Disclaimer: How many times must we go over this? I love Draco, but I do not own him or anything in chapter.

A/N: I hope you like this. I had plans for this chapter, but it didn't work out. I had my friend read it, and she said that it was too predictable. Not that this one is much better. Just read and review please.

Over the next two weeks things became better for them. Draco and Hermione had become so in love in such a short time. Hermione had three days until she had to leave and get ready for her next assignment. Draco would be playing during the Quidditch World Cup. They hadn't discussed either topic yet.

As they sat in Hermione's room they had slightly glum faces. Neither one of them wanted to speak. It became a little awkward. After a few more moments of silence Draco spoke up.

"I take it I'm not the only one who doesn't want to talk about me being here and you being not here?" He sighed.

"I don't want to go, but it's my job. I don't want to lose my job, but I don't want to lose you either. And I highly doubt that a long distance relationship would work." Hermione reach across the table and held his hand.

"So what do you want to do?" He asked.

"Whatever you want to do." She said softly.

"I want you to stay here with me, but I understand that you have a job and you would like to keep it. And I agree, a long distance relationship probably won't work. We could try it if you want to. I would like you to stay here with me, but if you go I understand." He whispered.

"I honestly don't know what to do. I can't stay here with you, but I can't live without you. You deserve someone who can be here for you whenever you need her." She sighed with misery.

"Do you just want to continue, and when the time comes to then make a decision?" He glumly suggested.

"Yeah, I guess." She nodded in agreement, yet it didn't make her feel any better.

Over the next two days they had pretended that nothing was going to happen, yet it was all that they thought about. The next day Hermione was going to leave, but they tried their best to force it out of their minds.

They went out to dinner, and then they went back to Hermione's room. Nothing happened though. It was pretty uneventful. They lay on her bed until around twelve. Then he gave her a kiss goodnight, then he left.

After he was gone Hermione wrote him a goodbye letter. It basically told him that she loved him. She wished him luck on the big game, and told him to enjoy his life.

In the morning Trish and Hermione went to the train station with Ron and Draco. As the minutes ticked by they all became sadder. Eventually their train pulled up. Ron and Trish hugged.

"Bye Draco." Hermione hugged him tightly.

"Bye love." He held her for a moment.

"Here." She handed him a letter and a present.

"I have something for you too." He smiled and pulled something out of his pocket.

It was a silver chain with a tiny dragon it. The dragon was there because his name meant dragon. It was silver because he knew that Hermione liked silver better then gold. He placed it around her neck.

"I love you." She kissed him.

"And I love you." He kissed her back.

Then both girls stepped onto the train, and with one glance backward, they were gone. The train took off and Ron and Draco watched until the train was no longer visible. Ron then turned to Draco and smacked him on the top of the head.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?" Draco rubbed his head.

"Why didn't you do it?" Ron glared.

"Do what?" Draco shrugged.

"Why didn't you ask her? I've watched you this week. You've been carrying this ring all week. You were waiting to ask her, you should have asked! Why didn't you? Are you stupid or something? You just let the best thing in your life walk away probably forever." Ron spat.

"I couldn't. She loves her job. Besides, there wasn't much of a chance that she would have said yes. And how many people do you know that date for three weeks and then become engaged? Not many." Draco sighed.

"But Hermione is different. She knows when she is truly in love, and she was. The time you spent together wouldn't have mattered to her. If you asked her she would have said yes. And you just let her go." Ron shook his head.

"I'm not the only one. You just let Trish go. So don't start telling me I'm the stupid one. I'll admit, that may have been a stupid move, but I'm not the only one who did it." Draco snarled.

"I had a feeling this was going to happen. That's why I came up with a back up plan." Ron pulled two tickets out of his back pocket.

"What's that?" Draco questioned.

"Train tickets. We're going to get our girls back. C'mon. Our trains leave in ten minutes." Ron started for their train.









A/N: So, what do you guys think is going to happen? What do you want to happen? Thanks to all of you who have reviewed. I never really thought anyone would even read this story. The possibility that I could get over 150 reviews never even occurred to me. Thank you very much. And someone made a comment on me rarely using the word 'said'. You were right I have a hard time using said. Don't ask me why. I honestly don't know. If you guys really want me to I'll try to use it more and use all those other words less often. So read and review people!
