A/N: thanks for all your reviews!
It was once again morning, and the sun was starting to shine through the windows of Hogwarts. Draco yawned as he woke up. He was considering skipping school that day and calling in sick, or going in late. Just so that he could spend a while longer watching over Hermione. Of course he always thought she looked beautiful and angelic, but at this moment she looked so calm and peaceful.
But just as all good things come to an end, so did the moment. Hermione stirred and her eyes fluttered open. She brushed a few strands of hair out of her face and sat up slowly. Hermione glanced around the room and her eyes landed on Draco. She smiled and stood up.
"Hey, sleep well?" Draco asked.
"Very." She nodded dreamily.
"I see someone's in a good mood this morning. Would it have anything to do with a certain event coming up?" Draco smiled as he wrapped his arms around her to give her a hug.
"Yes." She yawned.
"But I see someone's still sleepy too." He laughed.
"Yeah, that too." She nodded in agreement.
She stayed in his arms for a few minutes in a comfortable silence. She wished she could stay there all day, without having to care about anything, but she knew she had classes and it was very important that she not miss it. So finally she let go of him and walked over to his closet.
"I'm going to go and take my shower now. I'll see you in a little bit." She kissed his cheek and walked off to her bathroom.

All through the day Hermione's feelings were constantly changing. Sometimes she'd think 'it's not to late to pretend I'm sick and go back to my room.' Sometimes she'd think 'if I go tonight, I can't turn back.' But then she thought about Draco, and how cruel that would be to him. She would never hurt him, and it would hurt her if she hurt him.
She tapped her fingers nervously on her desk throughout potions. And everyone at her table noticed it too. Harry would glance at her every now and then and give her strange looks. Pansy would glare at her and then resume drooling at Draco once again. And when she started tapping louder and faster Draco grabbed her hand under the table and it brought her out of her thoughts. He squeezed it gently and waited for her to squeeze it back before he let go.
Dumbledore came in during the middle of Snape's lecture and both stepped outside for a few minutes. During this time Pansy turned to Draco and started batting her eyelashes and smiling goofy.
"Drakey Poo. . . when are you going to ask me to the ball?" she asked with a light giggle.
"Pansy, we've been over this before. I'm not taking you. I never will. I have a girlfriend, and I'm taking her." He stated sternly.
"Who? Who is she?" Pansy whimpered sadly, as here eyes became glossy.
"You'll see tonight." He answered vaguely.
"I know she can't be in our house because there is no one prettier then me in our house, so she must be in another! Oh Draco how could you?" she began as tears started to rapidly flow down her cheeks.
"You're right, she is in another house. And you're right about you being the prettiest in our house, that's one of the reasons I gave up on you guys." He smirked.
"But Draco, what about our future? What about us?" she complained.
"What about us? What about our future? The is no us, and as for my future. . . lets just say is doesn't involve you." He shrugged.
Pansy buried her head in her hands and cried. Hermione couldn't help but laugh a little. Harry looked at her and gave her an evil look. Hermione stared at him for a moment. Something was up with Harry, and she didn't like whatever it was one bit!
In less then another five minutes Snape returned and started up his lecture again. However he didn't get very far. The sound of Pansy's whimpering and sobbing rose above his own voice and immediately he stopped. He stood there and waited for an explanation, but Pansy just continued even louder.
"Miss Parkinson, is there something the matter here?" He asked, but it was obvious that he didn't care what was wrong.
"Yes, something is terribly wrong! Draco and I just broke up." She wailed.
"I couldn't break up with you! We were never going out to begin with!" Draco shook his head in disgust at the pitiful creature.
"How could you do this to me? I love you Draco!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Hermione felt a slight pang in her chest. She knew that Draco had no feelings for this beast, but still it hurt to think of what she was feeling. To be so desperately in love with someone, and to not have your feelings returned. Yet she didn't feel too bad, after all, she was the one he was seeing.
"But I don't love you." He said, not quite as loud as she had, but enough so the whole class could hear it.
Gasps came from all corners of the room. Some began to whisper. Others watched in horror and shock. Everyone had always thought that there was something between Draco and Pansy, but they were all wrong.
"Fine! Go the ball with your little whore of a girlfriend! But you'll be sorry Draco! And so will your little prissy bitch!" Pansy shouted as she fled the room still with tears.
It was silent for another few moments. Everyone stared at him in shock and amazement. Snape looked over at Draco, with his head slightly tilted, as if trying to figure something out. But then he continued his lesson as if nothing had ever happened.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The rest of the day had gone by smoothly compared to the events that had taken place during potions class. Hermione was on her way to Draco's room to grab her stuff and get ready. The ball started in three hours, and she was so nervous, and so excited.
A/N: So, now it's out! The school knows that he has a girlfriend, and it isn't Pansy! What's gonna happen? Gimme reviews and you'll see. By the way, someone asked if there was a plot to this story, there is. It's changed a bit since the beginning. I'll write it in the story description ok! Review!
