Chapter XIII

After the car incident, both Hermione and Draco spent the rest of their day glaring at Oliver who just brushed it away as if nothing happened. They casually went inside the Malfoy Mansion and was greeted by Roosevelt in his snappy suite.

"Young master," Roosevelt started as they came in from the front door. "Your mother, with Ms. Parkinson and...um...her friend,"

"Millicent Bulstrode." Oliver filled in for Roosevelt. Everyone looked at him strangely as if he had grown tentacles on his body. "What?!"

"How did you know?" asked Hermione with great curiosity. Oliver just scratched his head sheepishly and replied, "Let's just say that we've met before."

Everyone still looked at him strangely but just shrugged it off when Roosevelt cleared his throat and continued. "As I was saying, your mother, Ms. Parkinson and Ms. Bullrode..."

"Bulstrode." Oliver corrected. They gave Oliver a 'shut up' look. He held up his hands in surrender and said, "I'll shut up now."

Roosevelt gave one last glance at Oliver then continued yet once again. "Anyway. They are in the drawing room waiting for you, young master."

Draco nodded a thanks to Roosevelt then winked at Hermione who smiled warmly in return. Roosevelt saw the exchange between the two and secretly smiled. Oliver, who was staring at Draco's form (a/n: Wonder why...), didn't and just followed Draco with his eyes.

"I will be going now, Ms. Hermione." Hermione looked at Roosevelt who just bowed down to her respectfully and left, and nodded at him with a smile. She looked at the retreating butler curiously. Though curious of his actions, Hermione just shrugged it off and went towards Oliver who was looking dreamily at the spot where Draco stood a while ago.

Hermione went over and patted him gently on the shoulder. When he didn't budge, she patted him a little harder but when he still didn't move, she pushed him until he became unbalanced and fell face first on the floor. "Hey! What was that for?"

"You were staring into space." Hermione scolded. "Dreamily." She added as an afterthought.

"But why did you have to push me?" Oliver whimpered as he rubbed his nose that received the hardest impact. "You've been around Draco too often."

Hermione didn't take notice of Oliver's last comment about her being with Draco too often in a bad way for she was actually flattered. She started to think about Draco then shook her head, I can't think about him now, I have to deal with this pervert first. With that, she asked, "Why were you looking at Draco like that?"

"Like what?" Oliver was obviously confused at what she was talking about.

"You know what I mean." Hermione said as she blushed a little bit.

"No, I don't know what you mean." He was now standing up and looking down at Hermione strangely. "You have been around Draco too often. He's rubbing off on you."

"What do you mean, He's rubbing off on me?" Hermione said firmly with her hands on her hips.

Oliver looked at her then sighed in defeat. "Alright, alright. You got me."

Hermione stared at him with a frown. "Huh?

"It seems that just have to tell you my secret." Oliver said as he sat down on the foot of the stairs. Hermione moved and sat down next to him.

"What secret?"

Oliver hesitatingly looked glanced at Hermione then sighed. He tried to stand up, "Naw. I can't. I-"

"No." But Hermione pulled him down again. "You will tell me what is wrong with you and you will tell me, now."

He looked at her with defeated eyes. "Right here?" He asked weakly.

"Right here." Hermione confirmed with a nod. Oliver sighed once again then run his hand through his brown hair. "Okay. But you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Hermione looked at him straight in the eye.

"You can not tell anyone my secret."

"Not even Draco?"

"Especially Draco." Oliver said as he equaled her stare.

"Hmm..." Hermione mumbled as she thought about it. "I don't know. Tell me the secret first."

"Alright." Oliver said before looking from left to right, up the stairs and down to the front door. Then he swooped down and whispered his secret in Hermione's ear. As he whispered, Hermione's eyes grew wide. Then Oliver backed off, Hermione looked at him with pure shock.

"Are you sure?" Oliver nodded. Hermione looked at the floor with her eyes open wide.

"You gotta keep the secret, Mia."

"Mia..." Hermione said as she looked up from the floor. Oliver looked at strangely then his eyes widened as well. "No, Mia. Please. Have mercy." Oliver said pleadingly.

"Mia..." Hermione repeated. "Mia...Draco...Mia...Draco..."

"Hermione?" He looked at her with a slight frown.

"Mia..."

"Mia...?" Oliver mimicked.

"Draco..."

"Draco...?"

Silence.

Then Hermione suddenly broke into a run to the direction of the drawing room. Oliver sat there letting, not understanding what Hermione meant. Then suddenly he realized that she was approaching the drawing room and since Draco was in the drawing room, she was approaching Draco then...

It dawned in him that Hermione was going to...

"Nooooo! Hermioneeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!"

~*~

Draco knocked on the door to the drawing room three times then when he heard a faint, come in, he opened the door and was greeted by his mother. "Hello, Draco, dear. How was school?"

"Great." Draco said uneasily. "Um, what are they doing here?" He pointed towards Pansy and Millicent.

Then, Pansy stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck. Draco had to refrain from rolling his eyes so, instead of doing so, he just stared blankly ahead. Pansy just didn't get the picture (a/n: She never does.) stood her ground.

"I'm here to talk to you, Drakie." Pansy said in a sickeningly sweet voice which, I might add, Draco hates so much.

"And what will we talk about?" Draco asked as he tried not to sound too harsh but some of it slipped away.

"What's the matter, Drakie? Is something wrong?"

Draco sighed with exasperation but didn't say anything after a few minutes. There was silence then Draco decided to get it over with. "What is it?"

Pansy smiled at him as he looked down at her with a blank expression but Pansy kept her smiling face and said, "I want to talk about our engagement."

Draco felt his world crashing down. He looked at her with widened eyes and stepped backwards away from her. He kept walking until he hit the bar and sighed. Engaged? I can't be engaged. I-I'm not ready. What about Hermione?

He snapped his head up and mumbled, "Hermione..."

"Drakie?" Pansy had a worried expression on her face. "Hermione? What happened to Hermione?"

"Mia..." Draco was now like in a trance. He then closed his eyes and breathed in deeply. He opened his eyes and looked directly into Pansy's.

"Who said I wanted to be engaged to you?"

~*~

Hermione ran as fast as she can towards the drawing room. It was like she was being chased by a pack of wolves. She heard Oliver's faint voice from a far but paid no heed. She just ran faster until she got to the door of the drawing room. She looked behind her and saw Oliver trying to catch up but she was obviously a faster runner than he is. She smiled then opened the door. Hermione now had a mischievous glint in her eyes. When the door was widely opened, she was greeted by two pairs of eyes.

Draco was still facing the bar and Pansy was looking at him with shock. Hermione didn't understand anything and felt that she barged in on an important conversation, she decided to just come another time.

"Um, is this a bad time? 'Cause, you know, I can come some other time and-"

"No."

Everyone had their eyes on Draco. He looked up at Hermione with a cold gaze. "Come here."

Hermione, knowing better than to disobey Draco, closed the door and began to walk towards him but before she could move, Draco spoke up again. "Lock the door." So, she did. She slowly walked toward Draco who draped his arm around her shoulder.

Draco then gave her a short but passionate kiss that caught everyone by surprise. Even herself. He straightened up and looked at Pansy with a sharp look.

"Everyone, I would like you to meet," Draco guided Hermione in front of him then embraced her from behind by her waist.

"My fiancée."

Dreamaker: Was it a long wait? Was the chapter too short? Please tell me!

Additional Notes:

1. Fiancée is read as fee-yan-sey. It's just that fiancée is the female version of fiancé. If your confused, never mind.

2. You will find out Oliver's secret as we go on. I can't reveal it to you yet.

Okay. Let's read and answer some reviews!

darkvader69: No! I can not kill off Wood. And Reading Class, don't remind me! Now, that was when I hope Oliver was there to interrupt. But, what would happen if the guys find out that I write things like this? Anyway, for me, Oliver Wood is too up tight in J.K.R.'s point of view. I just want to loosen him up. (Okay, maybe his screw is too loose for your liking.)

But in our country's term, they're already supposed to be freshman in college. ^_^; Well, I think we should stick to the U.S. term. And I'll have to think all night about whether I should make Mia pregnant. Keep reading! (Hmm...make Mia pregnant...hmm...)

Nuriko: Well, let us welcome Harry to the bad side. Harry is always the good guy in many fics. I want him to be different. Yeah, you noticed that I like to twist the character's minds. Keep reading!
