A/N: I'm so sorry this took so long. First my computer gets wiped out and
then Samhain came. I've been so busy and trying to find time to type this.
Thanks for sticking in there with me. Now here's the story.
[b][u]Chapter Nine[/b][/u]
At breakfast, Draco approached Hermione with a message to meet him outside at lunch. After morning classes she giddily skipped to the couple's meeting spot.
"I made us a picnic." Draco said, kissing her on the cheek.
"Oh, how sweet!" she exclaimed, kissing him back.
"I have sandwiches, pumpkin juice, grapes." he continued listing the contents of the basket as Hermione glared at the grapes.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked when he noticed this strange behaviour.
"Nothing, just daydreaming I guess." She said, coming back to reality.
"Okay then, well.could I have some grapes?" he asked her.
"Er.sure." She said, handing a bunch to him.
"No.like this." He said, placing a grape between her fingers and moving them towards his mouth. Hermione did this nervously and shyly smiled. But she giggled as her fingertips went over his soft lips and tongue. They then moved their lips closer together and kissed.
When lunch was over Hermione and Draco walked hand in hand to Herbology class.

Once back in the comfort of her room at the end of the day, Hermione recollected the day's events. It was very strange how what had happened in
her dream were similarly reflected at lunch that day.
Perhaps the field of Divination wasn't all false predictions. She went into the bathroom and ran her hand under cold water to try and get the ring off. This time she was successful and placed it on her bedside table, then fell into a peaceful sleep.
Hermione woke the next morning felling refreshed and anew. She'd had a dreamless night's sleep and woke up prepared for a wonderful new day.
She curled her hair and applied a bit of makeup, last but not least, she returned the ring Draco gave her to her finger. Again an odd sensation of pleasure swept over her body and she yearned to see her Draco.
After breakfast, she and Draco met in the trophy room to share company.
"I don't know what's come over you this year Draco. You've changed. I like it." Hermione said smiling.
"Perhaps you've changed." Draco whispered softly into her ear. Hermione, then almost sensing Draco's desire for a kiss, leaned in pressing her lips against his.
She then mysteriously grabbed his hand and slid it up the back of her shirt as they kissed. She didn't know what was happening. It was almost as if she was a puppet with strings making her move as she did. They finally finished their kiss and decided it was time for morning classes.
"Hey Hermione." Said Ginny as she passed them in the hallway.
"Oh, Ginny come here." Hermione giggled. "Did you and Harry." she asked.
"Yeah, we kissed. FINALLY!" Ginny smiled.
"I'd have done more than that by now." Draco mumbled.
Ginny heard this and blushed. This gave Draco an idea, an evil idea. One only he would think of.
Draco's mind raced with his idea. Only he could pull it off. He made his way to his room and opened a small drawer. In the drawer was a ring identical to Hermione's except it didn't have an inscription. He also got out a small piece of parchment and wrote:
[I]One love slave will not do, with this ring I become one, too. [/I]
Draco grinned evilly at his own writing. He then took the ring and rolled it in the ink words. Then he said "Ensciptus!" and the words appeared on the ring. He then continued, "Translatius Italianus". This caused the words to change into Italian so that his victims would find no sense in their meaning.
He smugly placed the ring in his pocket and walked back down to where Hermione and Ginny were talking. He pulled Hermione to the side and handed her the ring.
"What's this?" she asked.
"I made another ring, they can be like friendship rings." He said. "Maybe you can give it to Ginny." He suggested.
"That's a great idea!" said Hermione, kissing Draco on the cheek and gleefully running over to Ginny.
Hermione presented the ring to Ginny. Ginny placed the ring on her fingers and again the words glowed. She too felt a strange sensation come over her and turned to look at Draco. He winked at her. She smiled and turned back. Draco now successfully had two girls who would do whatever he wanted. Where would he stop?
Hermione walked off toward the common room with Ginny. As they did Draco yelled, "Ginny, I think your fool of a brother wants you." Ginny raised her eyebrows playfully and walked towards Draco.
"He's down that hall." He smirked , leading her down a corridor.
"I'll catch up." Ginny called back to Hermione as she progressed down the hallway with a devious Draco following her.
"I think he went into the end room on the left." He said innocently.
Ginny walked briskly down the hall and went into the corner room. "He's not here." Ginny giggled.
"Oh, my mistake." He said, looking deeply into Ginny's eyes.
"Er.that's okay." Whispered Ginny, entranced by his cool blue eyes. Draco smoothly shut the door. Now Ginny glanced away, felling a bit uncomfortable. "Er.I guess I better go." She said nervously placing her hand on the doorknob.
"Why?" asked Draco in a husky voice blocking her exit and placing his strong hand on her shoulder.
"I have to meet Harry." She said, trying to think of a reasonable respose.
"Stay." Draco said a bit more firmly.
