Author's Note: Hi! Thanks to all those who reviewed.
To midnight solitaire: Anj ayaw pag mug-ot kay sigurado matuwa ka sa chapter na ito. Okay? Translation: Anj don't be mad because I'm sure that your spirits will somewhat lighten up after you have the chance to read this chapter. Okay?
To Ellie: How are you? I hope you're doing fine!
To peppermint p@tty: There are going to be a lot of jealous people in my story. It's just the beginning so the tides are going to change too.
To aerialspire: The cute part is I don't know... just read the chapter.
To Cute-Kitty: I am happy that you think I made the right decision in making about not changing the pairing. But there are times that you are seriously going to doubt that fact.
To dracosgurl10: I think it's great that you appreciate my story... thanks...
To everyone: In this chapter, Hermione's feelings were revealed. I will probably have a long chapter about their past. I'm going to make a chapter that is long because all the chapters, from one to eleven were or are short. But I don't think that's going to be posted anytime soon unless I am inspired. Oh, and I'm also looking forward on making some changes on my past chapters so please wait for that.
Chapter 11
### Hermione's point of view ###
Before Harry's lips landed, Hermione pushed him hard on the chest. "Harry I don't think I'm ready to allow you such liberties with my person just yet." Hermione told him in a very flat voice that advices people not to argue with her.
"I'm sorry, I guess I just got carried away... with the beautiful environment, the romantic air----" Harry told Hermione. "But please, please don't let this dampen out trip. I promise to keep my hands and lips to myself until this journey end."
"I guess... after all, we did go through the trouble to get here..." Hermione was reluctant to leave the wonderful scenery even after Harry's attempt to kiss her.
"Good!" Harry said, relieved that Hermione wasn't really mad at him. "Let me show you the river near by and at the same time rest for a while and let our horses taste the wonderful water."
But as much as they didn't want the 'attempt' of Harry to kiss Hermione affect their journey, it still did. There was a certain tension between them that was undeniable. They faced the fact that the trip was rolling down the hill and decided to return to Solum Keep.
The journey back was silent except for the beautiful and endearing sound of mother-nature singing.
### When they arrived from the trip ###
Everyone was waiting for the Baron when they arrived so that everyone can sit at the table and eat.
Harry took Hermione's hand and tucked in the crook of his elbow and escorted her to her seat.
Hermione was seated a seat away from Harry's right side. Draco was supposed to be her seatmate but it seems that he was not around. Hermione was worried and really curious as to where Draco went off to. She was thinking of the possibilities that could justify why Draco is late when a stable lad came forward and gave Hermione a note that the lad said came from the Baron Malfoy.
Hermione was interested about this note and as to why Draco would give her a note if he could easily come and talk to her so she stood up. Took the note from the stable lad and read it.
Hermione,
To allow you and Baron Potter to get to know each other better, I decided to return to Bosmer Keep. Your maid, Edwina, is with you so you are considered to be properly escorted so that no one will doubt you virtue. I will be gone for a few days because I have also decided that I needed to take care of certain things that need attending.
I will also order your stuff, that's needed by your person, to be brought there tomorrow by house elves.
Draco Hermione was undeniably somewhat hurt by Draco's sudden leave without him informing her. Couldn't he have waited for just a little while to wait until she and Harry arrived from their tour before leaving? Was he really that impatient to get his hands off of taking care of her future? Was that too much to ask of him? Was he already too sick and tired of her? It fairly reminded her how important she was to Draco. She incontrovertibly loved him since she was a child. She sort of idolized him and looked up to him like a god. It fairly reminded her how she laughed at her proposal to get married when she was young. It just struck a chord of too humiliating things that she thought was out of her system. But the painful memories suddenly came flooding back. Hermione excused herself from the table saying that she was not feeling well and went to her room. Once there, she didn't even bother to take her clothes off and just went directly to bed. There she cried until there was nothing left, just a feeling of vast emptiness. Hermione welcomed this. It's as if all her dreams from her childhood suddenly went out of the window.
