I do not own H.P. or any other characters. I only own the plot. I want to thank everyone for reviewing. I am going to speed the plot up a notch or two since I got the ok from most of the reviewers. Many of you ask why Snape was ranting about his Daughter to Dumbledoor. In chapters more toward the beginning It was said that Snape had a little Girl, and Dumbledoor was Snape's Wife's Father. I know a bit confusing. But there it is.

So on with Chapter 32

The fall ball was approaching and all of the prefects were working hard, As was the Head Boy and the Head Girl. Though, Hermione was miserable. She still wasn't talking to Ron or Draco.

There seemed to be a silent war going on between Ron and Draco ever since that day that Ron and Harry found Draco and Hermione in bed together. Ron and Draco couldn't seem to help but sabotage the others Potions, or botch each others homework if they could get the chance. Verbal and Physical fights were at an all time high between the two to. Hermione knew that they had had two duels after hours, and over her according to Harry.

Yes Hermione still talked to Harry, even though Ron and Draco didn't know. She didn't need to give those two more to fight about. But Harry even though he didn't like the though of Hermione having a relationship with Draco, accepted it and told her if that was what made her happy to go with it, just to be careful, but now all chance of that seemed to be down the drain now. Because Hermione seemed to notice she wasn't the only one that was avoiding People. She had tried to talk to Draco once, and he just looked through her like she wasn't even there. Though Hermione noticed that he had a hurt expression on his face. She eventually gave up and walked away. Later she went and cried in Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom where she knew she wouldn't be bother. And Ron was still so angry at her for as he put it "Going behind our backs, and fraternizing with the enemy, what kind of person are you" Ron had yelled at her one day in the common room when she tried to explain. That was another day in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom sobbing.

That is what leads us up to this point , Hermione is sitting by the fire in the heads common room staring blanking. She felt as if she was almost numb. "Granger meeting in the prefects common room." Draco yelled as he walked out of the Head's door and toward that destination. "I can remember a time when he would have walked with me there" Hermione said to herself softly. "At least he hasn't went back to calling me Mudblood" she mumbled softly and then laughed to herself, "Of course he hasn't went back to calling me Mudblood, since technically I am not one" She slowly got up and headed toward the prefects common room so that they could get on with the meeting.

Hermione arrived at the prefect's common room, and walked in slowly to the sound of Draco lecturing two of the hufflepuff prefects on the importance of being on time. "And speaking of being late" Draco said in a harsh voice, "As Head Girl you should be on time." He said not even looking at her.

"Sorry it won't happen again." Hermione said as she took her place beside Draco. "Do you have the menu for the ball?" Hermione ask.

"Yes here it is" A girl said handing it to Hermione.

"Thank you" Hermione said.

"Do you have the music" Draco ask looking at the Ravenclaw prefects.

"Yes it is all set" said one of the Ravenclaw prefects.

"Good" Draco said.

"Decorations?" Hermione ask.

"All taken care of" Ginny said looking at Hermione.

"Good, meeting over" Draco said as he sweep out of the room.

"Are you alright Mione" Ginny ask softly coming up to her.

"Yes I'm fine, I have to go and give this to the house elves." Hermione said starting to leave the room.

"Wait I will go with you and then we can talk afterwards." Ginny said following Hermione out of the room.

It didn't take Hermione and Ginny long to drop of the list of foods for the fall ball, and soon they were headed back toward Hermione's common room. When they got there Draco was no where in sight, and they went directly to Hermione's room, where Hermione cast a silencing spell, and walked over to the mirror.

"Kay" Hermione said her voice low.

"Yes dear" The mirror ask.

"What ever happens I don't want you to tell EJ or Marti so that they can tell Malfoy" Hermione said.

"Yes dear" Kay said her voice sounding sad.

"Alright Hermione, you have been depressed for weeks, what is going on." Ginny ask.

"Well it all started"
