Alright, let me settle something...the crying, there is a lot of it, I know.
Let's just quickly think of the battle these people had been through. And
McGonagall most likely not crying in front of them? She is talking about
war and losing Dumbledore, I would think any woman would get emotional with
that. Sigh but it is a story, a made up story, let's not forget that. To
all the fans of the story, enjoy Chapter 21. I was going to get this out
last night but had a bit of writer's block, sorry.
Chaper 21
Hermione woke the next morning to the sun shining brightly on her face. She lay in bed thinking of the day ahead. She would be meeting Seamus in Hogsmeade at noon. She rolled over on her side. She was a bit startled to see an owl watching her from her nightstand, "Hey there Hedwig," she spoke groggily. She sat up and took the letter attached to the owl's foot. She allowed Hedwig to drink water out of the glass next to him. She ripped open the envelope and read,
Hermione,
WHAT A GIT! I can not believe this! I thought they broke up, LIKE A YEAR AGO! What did he try to say? What's his excuse? Herm, this just doesn't make sense! Maybe there is an explanation! But, no! That's just HORRIBLE! So anyways, Seamus? Interesting. Luna said her and Ron ran into him in Diagon Alley. Says he took her breath away. Says he is handsome and tall now, most of his accent gone. The states must have treated him well. Have fun and forget all about Malfoy. We love you!!
Ginny
Hermione smiled at the letter. Ginny was her best friend and she knew she could confide in her. She missed Draco. She missed just walking down the hall with him. The stories they would tell of that days classes. She took a deep breath and got out of bed.

He sat at his desk grading essays, not paying much attention. His mind was elsewhere. It was thinking of the same person he had been thinking about since he heard her crying in her quarters. He had to corner her, to explain to her what really happened. She was being very stubborn. Then he got an idea, "Why the hell didn't I think of it before," he said to himself. He went towards his fireplace and grabbed some floo powder. He was hoping she was decent, but well, maybe not.
----
"HERMIONE!"
She screamed and the cup of tea in her hands crashed to the floor. She turned around to see Draco's face in her fire, his eyes closed, "What the hell are you doing!"
"Are you decent?"
"Wha - ?" she contained her smile at his curtsey, "Yes, I am dressed."
He smiled, "Too bad," and opened his eyes.
She glared at him and folded her arms, "You are not in a good enough position with me to think your cuteness will charm me."
"You think I'm cute?"
She bent down and pointed her wand at the broken glass of her tea cup, "Make this quick, Malfoy, I have plans," she flicked her wand, "Reparo!"
"I wish you wouldn't call me that, you know I hate it, especially from you."
She looked at him, face cold, "That is who you are, Malfoy. I thought you had changed from the old days, but after the other night...."
"And you won't let me explain!"
Hermione walked over to her nightstand, "What's there to explain? You and Cho are still together. Yes you failed to tell me this after you kissed me and even told me you loved me," she picked up a glass from the nightstand, "But its okay."
"I never said I loved you,"
Hermione's eyes scowled, "You've got a bad memory, MALFOY!" at that she flung the water at his face in the fireplace.
He choked on the water and fell backward from the fireplace.

Hermione was standing in the courtyard as students arrived for the trip to Hogsmeade. She was still thinking about her earlier encounter and was startled by the tap on her back, "Miss Finnegan, what are you doing here? You are only a first year and not allowed to visit Hogsmeade."
The girl smiled, "I know, I just want to wish you luck with my brother. He owled me and told me you were meeting up today."
"Oh, well, thank you. Now hurry off," and she shooed the girl off and she joined her giggly girlfriends and they scurried off. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to the students, "Everyone ready? Right, let's be off now."
"Hermione!"
She turned to see Draco running towards her. She scowled and turned back around.
"Please, just wait!"
Hermione held her breath and turned back around, "The students should not be without a chaperone, I have to go."
The courtyard was now empty as he ran to her. He stopped a few feet in front of her. He walked slowly over to her, "I just have one thing to tell you," he moved right up to her, grabbed her face and kissed her, kissed her like he never had before. She felt her body weaken in his embrace. She almost kissed back when she quickly pushed him away. She caught her breath and looked up at him. She raised her hand and slapped his face hard. She turned around and ran towards the group of students.

Alright, did ya like that one? Stay tuned for 22 which will be here soon. I wanted to have Hermione meet up with Oliver but, I may get jealous what with my fascination with him. Well, my fascination with Sean Biggerstaff as Oliver..lol. R&R
