Thank you to everyone who reviewed I really appreciate it. You guys have been great. Sorry that it has been taking me so long to update. With college and all there is a lot that goes on. LoL doesn't everyone enjoy school. Hopefully I will be able to update while I am out for break this month. Though I will not be updating during the week of Christmas and the week of the 30th. I am having surgery on the 30th and will more than likely be out of commission for a week. So thank you all. I don't own anything H.P. related.

Chapter 36 Hermione sat in the common room silently thinking about what had happened at the ball. "He is such a jerk" she muttered to herself. "I really don't want to be here when he comes in after his date with the slut." Hermione said softly to herself. "If he even comes in at all." So Hermione slowly got up off her couch and went to her room.

"How was it dear" Kay the mirror ask softly.

"Crummy, a disaster, one of the worst nights of my Hogwarts days."
Hermione replied
Softly.

"What happened dear?"

"Draco went with that slut; he kissed her in the middle of the Great
Hall" Hermione
sighed as she lay face down on her bed.

"Are you ok dear?" The mirror ask softly.

"Of course I am ok" Hermione said sitting up, "I've been through worse
right, I will be
fine."

"That is the spirit dear." Kay said in a cheery voice.

"I am going to go to bed" Hermione said as she got up and grabbed her
pj's and quickly
slipped them on and climbed into bed. "Kay don't tell the other
mirrors about this"
Hermione said as she rolled over, and closed her eyes.

"If that is what you want dear." Kay said softly as Hermione's soft
breaths filled the
room.

~~

"Where did Hermione go" Draco ask himself softly as he scanned the
Great Hall, with
Pansy still in his arms.

"Where is who" Pansy ask looking up at Draco pouting.

"Was I talking to you" Draco snapped.
"Well aren't you just all of a sudden in a bad mood." Pansy said her
pout still on her face.

"Pansy I am afraid that I must end out date." Draco said his voice
showing no regret.

"Drakie" Pansy whined as Draco started to walk off.

"What" Draco said turning around.

"You can't just leave me." Pansy whined.

"Watch me" Draco said smirking as he continued to stalk out of the
Great Hall.
~~

"Do you think Hermione is all right Harry" Ginny ask softly as they
were dancing.

"Hermione is tough, always has been she will be fine." Harry said his
voice equally as
soft.

"I hope you are right Harry" Ginny said.

"Of course I am right, I am the boy-who-lived." Harry said cheekily.

"Harry" Ginny said slapping his arm lightly.

Draco walked into the common room to be greeted with a roaring fire
and no Hermione
insight, "Where is she" Draco said to himself. Draco walked up to his
room and over to
where the mirror sat. "Mirror" Draco said in a loud tone, "Mirror I am
talking to you" He
roared this time.

"I do have a name you know" The mirror replied in a low tone.

"Ok then EJ, I need some information." Draco said looking at the
mirror.

"What could you possibly need at this time of night?" EJ ask.

"I need to know if Hermione is in her room" Draco said his voice soft.

"Give me a minute" EJ said and then all was silent in the room.

Draco started to pace the floor waiting for EJ's reply when he heard
what sounded like
someone clearing their throat. "Well" Draco ask.

"Hermione told Kay not to give out any information to me." EJ said in
a low voice.

"What" Draco said his eyes narrowing.
"Apparently she doesn't want you in her business." EJ said in a louder
voice.

"Why is it this difficult?" Draco said sitting on his bed.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" EJ ask.

"No I have tried everything I can do to win her back, making her
jealous, didn't seem to
Work now I am out of ideas." Draco said putting his head in his hands.

"Have you ever tried to apologize?" EJ said.

"Malfoy's do not apologize." Draco said stubbornly.

"You should try it just this once, It may work you know." EJ said.

"You know I don't really like the thought of apologizing, but this may
work, I may try
that tomorrow."

"Good now go to sleep." EJ said.

"Right, thanks EJ." Draco said as he got under the covers and drifted
off to sleep his
dreams filled with ways he would apologize to Hermione.

~~
There was a slight tapping at Hermione's window in the early hours of
the morning,
Which seemed to alert Kay. "Hermione" Kay called softly "Hermione" She
called a little
louder.

"Hmmm" Hermione said softly.

"There is an owl at the window." Kay said.

"Oh" Hermione said softly as she climbed out of bed, and clambered
over to the window
to let the owl in. The owl flew in and landed on Hermione's desk,
sticking out its leg.
"Alright" Hermione said as she untied the letter from the owl's leg
and it quickly flew
back out the open window. Hermione went back and closed the window and
sat down on
her bed and grabbed her wand quickly casting a lighting spell, to read
the letter that was
just delivered.

Dear Hermione,
I am sorry to ask you to come home so early. It is just your
father's birthday is coming
up and I don't want to go through this alone. I know Rick is here, but
I need you to be
here to. Plus I have some exciting news, so could you see is you could
come home early Love Mum

"who is the letter from?" Kay ask softly.

"My mother" Hermione said with a sad smile.

"oh" Kay said.

"I have to pack and talk to Dumbledore." Hermione said as she got up and grabbed her wand mumbling a few spells her clothes packed into her trunk and she shrunk it. "Kay don't tell Draco, or the other mirrors, I don't want him to know." Hermione stressed.

"ok, Hermione you have my word." Kay said softly.

"Thank-you" Hermione said as she put her trunk in her robe pocket and slipped out of the room and the common room to talk to the Headmaster.
