Okay. It's been about a million years, but-I'm back! I've spent way too much time over in the A Series of Unfortunate Events category and I missed you guys. I found the notebook with Chapter Three in it underneath my desk, and I can finally update!
First, reviewers: M*E* (Umm...I'm not quite sure what to say...'what happened?' Uh, maybe you should read the chappy over, I guess, and I'll try to be clearer...) mastercreater (I'm gonna read your story as soon as I upload this chapter. Thanks for the preview! If you thought it took me forever to post the second chapter...are you and at me now? Sorry. Eep!) very anonymous (Thanks for complimenting...I have no idea who you are...I hope you read this: WHO ARE YOU?!) HYPERdingdong39 (I'm updating now...took me long enough...) Lovelorn Genius (Thanks!) chronic (Thanks for the compliments! I hate it when people spell everything wrong, too, it's so annoying, like "hermminy and drako r the cutest cupple ever!!!!!!!!! they rock!!!!!!!!!!111" It really gets on my nerves!) Mgf2521 (Oh, that's cool, how it all makes sense...yeah! Thanks for the compliments!) AppleCrazy (Thanks! I guess it's after sixth year, since in the beginning of the prequel Lucius was in jail...I'm the author, I should know this...I guess between 6th and 7th, although nothing's set in concrete or anything...) Jordy (Thanks for reviewing! It's so cool, somebody from 213 actually read this!!!)
Chapter Three: Mark Your Calendars
Dear Draco,
I'm really concerned about all the stuff I've been hearing. Can you meet me at Diagon Alley this Saturday by the bookstore? I really want to know what's going on! Wait-not Diagon Alley! How about our spot...you know ;)
Love, C.T.
Dear Hermione,
I'll be in London on Saturday. We'll be busy practicing and stuff, but we have time off around 12:00. Could you meet in Diagon Alley then? I'll be near there. I'll meet you by the fountain we ...hung out by last time.
V. K.
Draco
It was Thursday. Two owls had just rocketed in through the open window. Draco put down his letter. Had Catriona always dotted her 'I's with little hearts like that? It was somewhat annoying.
He watched Hermione scan her own letter, then put it down.
"Can I read your's?" they asked in unison. He grinned and passed her his letter. (A/N: I saw 'letter' too much...)
She smiled, gave a little shrug, then passed him her's. As soon as they finished-
"You hung out by a fountain? What exactly does he mean by that?!"
"'Your spot?' What's that supposed to mean, anyway?"
They glared at one another and Hermione started crying quietly. Draco cleared his throat, feeling squirmy and uncomfortable. He hadn't mean to make her cry.
"Look, Hermione, I can...I mean...The only reason I'd go would be to break up with her..."
"BREAK UP?!" She sounded even more upset. Uh-oh. What had he done? "Oh, so you're dating her?! Why don't you just go back to your parents?!"
"What?" He must have heard her wrong. He wasn't dating Catriona. Yuck.
"Yeah! Go back!"
"I-You want me to?" he stuttered.
Hermione looked down, still trembling a little. She wiped some tears off her cheek with the back of her hand. "You want to...," she said cryptically, sniffling a little.
"I...I can't," he said finally. "My parents don't ever want to see my face again just because I...well...I kind of..."
She looked up, interested. "You what?"
"I care about you, okay?" he blurted, feeling like an idiot.
Hermione stared at him.
Then she turned and ran out of the room.
Hermione
Hermione stared at him.
Draco cared about her? As a friend? Or, like, as in...
No.
She wouldn't think about that.
She had to figure out a way to kindly dump Viktor. She had to, anyway. If Draco cared about her.
But what if it was just as a friend? She couldn't dump Viktor for Draco if he just liked her as a friend, since then Draco would think she was crazy over him.
Was she?
It was too much. Hermione turned and fled out of the room.
Ahh! I made you wait so long for a short chappy...but I'm gonna update A.S.A.P, don't you worry!
Have a kick@$$ February Vacation, everybody who has it now!
Review!
