Ok one thing I need to mention. I accidentally have Chapter 3 posted for
both Chapter 3 and 2. I'll fix this soon, but I only had time to post this
cause it was already typed. I have to Re-Type Chapter 2. So if any of you
were confused, this was probably why. Pleas Review! HP DOES NOT BELONG TO
ME!

When Draco and Hermoine reached the Great Hall for breakfast, on the first day of the end of the holiday, he kissed her cheek and left her to go to his own table.
Hermoine sat down at her own table, Harry and Ron were already there. Harry gave her a look that let her know that he had seen what just happened between her and Draco. (it wasn't an angry look, just a 'what the hell was that' look) but it was obvious that Ron didn't see it 'cause he was still chatting happily about Quiddich.
When Harry looked back at Ron, the look was gone. "I'll be right back Ron." He looked at Hermoine, saying without words that he wanted her to follow him.
As she was leaving the Great Hall, she caught Draco's eye and she flashed him a smile as she walked out the door.
She felt Harry grab her arm and she followed him to a deserted part of the hallway. "Ok, was I seeing things or did I just see Draco Malfoy kiss you?" Harry asked. He didn't sound angry (like she thought he would) just surprised.
She blushed and nodded. "He did."
"Why? I know you said he's changed and all but-"
She interrupted him. "Because we're dating."
He just stared at her, not exactly sure of what he just heard, "What?"
She blushed again, "He's my boyfriend."
"Wow..." he said, shacking his head, "I never thought that this would happen."
She breathed a sigh of relief, "So you're not mad?"
"Me? No, just, well, extremely surprised. Ron, on the other hand, will probably be furious. You should tell him. The sooner the better."
She nodded. "You're right... besides, if he accepts it he accepts it, if he don't..."she didn't finish her sentence and a single tear rolled down her cheek. "I don't want to lose Ron as my friend."
Harry hugged her comfortingly, "Don't worry 'Moine, I'm sure Ron won't stop being your friend because of Mal-Draco, especially if he's really changed like you said, and truly cares for you."
"Thanks" she whispered and wiped the tear away. "I think I'll tell him during lunch, or after classes today, I don't want him to make a scene in class."
He nodded. "Sounds good, just make sure you tell him."
They walked back into the Great Hall and finished their breakfast.
((A/N: okies, this was supposed to be the end for chapter 4 but oh well, it's in chapter 5, i hope you all like my story so far and will review. It will make me one happy author))
"Hey," Ron said as they all were leaving, "Don't we have class with Hagrid today?"
"Yep," Hermoine nodded, "And it's a double class too."
Harry seen how happy Hermoine was with the schedule and seen Ron frown."
"Bolloks, we have to sit with the Slytherines for a double period? But we just did that before the break." Ron complained the whole way to Hargrid's hut. They went early so hey could speak with him before everyone got there.
"Mornin' all!" Hagrid said cheerfully as he stepped out of his hut. "Well, you seem to be in good mood 'Moine, what's wrong with you Ron?"
"We have a double class with Slytherin. And we just had double Potions with them right before the break."
"Well, sorry Ron, but that's the way it goes. And don' worry I 'ave a great lesson f'ya today... sirens"
"Sirens?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"Aren't they supposed to be a type of mermaid?" Harry asked
"That led many sailors to their deaths?" add Hermoine
"Yep," Hagrid said "I brought enough fo' ev'ry two students. Ya get ta do a report and you can as' 'em anythn' ya want."
"They aren't dangerous... are they Hagrid?" Ron asked cautiously
"Naw, not a bit." Ron let out a sight of relief. "Ya jus' 'ave ta stun 'em if they're about ta sing. Othe'wise they can take control of you an' make you fall in love with them. Only works fo' the boys though of course," Hagrid said, giving Hermoine a wink. He laughed at Ron's reaction. "Heh heh, jus' kiddin' Ron"
As the class started, Hagrid explained the project to them, with a little more detail and instruction then when he told the trio.
Draco raised his hand "Can we work with anyone we want?"
" 'f course," Hagrid said, a little surprised. Normally Malfoy would take every opportunity to insult him and his lessons. "Get inta pai's. Only two can work together. an' I'll bring out the Sirens.
Ron looked at Hagrid, clearly upset that the three of them couldn't work together, but he didn't say anything.
Hagrid brought out the Sirens all at once, there was about fifteen of them. They looked like 18 year old girls with blue skin with dark blue eyes and hair. "Now don' any 'f ya go insulting 'em. They're 'ere as a favor to me and they won' do you any 'arm." He went by Hermoine and raised his eyebrows when he seen who wanted to work with her. "Now Mr. Malfoy, don' you be makin' 'er do all the work." He turned to Hermoine. "Why'd you agree ta work with 'im fo'?"
"Because..." she said, a pink tint coming to her cheeks, "he's my" she glanced at Draco then back at the ground, "boyfriend" Draco grabbed her hand gently. He didn't know what he expected her to say, but he didn't expect her to tell Hagrid the truth Hermoine seen the amazement and surprise in his eyes and smiled warmly at him.
"Really now? My tha's a surprise," Hagrid laughed. "Didn't see that commin'. Oh, an' yer Siren's name is Imoen." He walked away.
Hermoine let go of Draco's hand and pulled out some parchment and her quill. "So your name is Imoen?" she asked, turning to the Siren.
She nodded.
"Where do you and you're kind usually live?"
"On islands in the Mediterranean Sea." Imoen's voice was soft and light. It definatly matched her beauty.
"Near Greece?" Hermoine asked, and was not at all surprised when Imone nodded. Sirens were a part of Greek Mythology.
"Are all Sirens blue?" Draco asked
"Not all" she answered, "Some are a little greed. But all that live in the area I'm from are."
They continued asking Imoen questions and writing down her answers. They were so busy that they didn't realize that class was over.
"Alri't 's time for the sirens to get goin' It's time fo' them to go back home. You were the only class they came fo'. The othe' classes ge' a differen' assignment. "
All the Sirens stood up and went to Hagrid. But before Imoen left, she kissed Draco on the cheek and lightly touched the side of Hermoine's face. She smiled and went with the rest of her kind and disappeared into the Forbidden Forrest.
"Class dismissed" Hagrid said "Hermoine, you and Malfoy come 'ere a sec." They walked over to Hagrid. "You two don' know what jus' 'appened do ya?"
"What do you mean?" Hermoine asked.
Hagrid chuckled, "Imoen just blessed ya, with th' Sirens' Blessin'. They only do that when they sense true love." Hagrid smiled at them.
Draco put his arm around Hermoine and smiled (one of the things her only started doing more often after spending lots of time with Hermoine) "I didn't need a Siren to tell me what I feel is real."
Whatever doubts Hagrid had about Malfoy were gone. His (hagrid) smile got bigger as he put his large hands on each of their shoulders, "I wish you both the best of luck." He looked directly at Draco and squeezed his shoulder, but not nearly enough to hurt him, and gave him a look that let him know that if he ever hurt Hermoine, he'd be in a world of hurt.
Draco nodded, and gently pulled Hermoine, leading her back to the castle. "I'll see you later Hagrid," she called over her shoulder.
"Bye, an' you two be'ave yerselves" He laughed and went into his hut.
