Chapter 17: What are we?
Hermione and Draco walked into the castle. The Hall, of course, was closed and professors were running around frantically. Professor McGonnagal walked up to them, " Where HAVE you two been?" She asked. " W-we were outside." Hermione stuttered, whipping away her tears. McGonnagal looked at Hermione with concern. " Oh, well you two need to get to bed, Miss Granger, you might want to go and visit Mr. Potter. He's in the hospital wing." " What? Why?" Hermione asked, puzzled. " He tried to kill himself after Miss Chang died, he slashed his wrists and tried to hang himself, but we found himself before he did." Hermione's eyes grew wide. She instantly ran up to the hospital wing, Draco trying to catch up. She reached the wing and burst in. Madame Promfrey looked up at Hermione then pointed to a bed on the far side of the wing. Draco walked in after her and followed her over to Harry's bed. " Harry?" Hermione asked as they approached his bed. " Hermione?" He asked. " Uh- huh." She said, she lit a candle on his beside table and looked at him. He didn't look bad, but his eyes were incredibly red and puffy from crying. " I can't believe she's gone, 'Mione." He whispered, tears rolling down his face. Hermione hugged him. " I know, I can't believe it either. If it weren't for me, then she would be alive."-Hermione started to cry, too. - " No, I'm glad she protected you. You are the most important thing in the world to me, 'Mione. You, Ron, and Ginny are. You guys are my family and friends and always will be."-He smiled slightly through his tears. - " Harry, I don't know what to say. I guess I'm flattered." Hermione whispered. Draco stood behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm gonna give you two a moment." He whispered then walked out of the wing. Hermione and Harry cried in each other's arms and finally broke apart. Hermione whipped her eyes and Harry cleaned his glasses. He took her hand and held it for a while. " Harry." She whispered. " Hm?" He asked, starring into her amber eyes. ' I wish I had gotten to her first.'Harry thought suddenly. Hermione smiled. " If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. After all, Ron can be misunderstanding." She hugged him again and walked slowly out of the wing, her heart pounding in her chest.
Hermione hadn't meant to read Harry's mind. As soon as she walked out of the hall, Draco's arms went around her waist and his lips met hers. She smiled slightly, and continued walking, hand in hand with Draco. As they reached the dungeon, Hermione started to wonder why Harry had thought that. 'Uh, he obviously loves you!' Said a voice in her head, then another voice spoke.' He loves me as a friend.' 'No he doesn't. He loves you more than that!' ' So, I don't love him like that, I love Draco.' 'Yah, right.' 'I do love Draco!' ' I know you do, but you still love Harry, too.' 'O, maybe you're right, but if I love Harry its only because he's my best friend.' ' Uh-huh. I'm sure you'll be saying that when you two are snogging together-' 'Shut up! I won't be snogging with him!' 'Yes you will.' 'NO I WILL NOT!' she screamed in her head at the voice. She shook her head violently. Draco shook her shoulders. " 'Mione, are you okay? What's wrong?" He asked, placing a hand on her cheek. " I-I'm fine. I just need some sleep, that's all." She whispered. " Do you want to stay with me tonight?" Draco asked, caressing her cheek with his palm. " No. I'll be fine; I have to talk to Lavender and Ginny. They're most likely waiting for me." Hermione replied looking up into Draco's eyes. " Okay, night. If you need me, feel free to come to my room. The password is bunshin." He said, kissing her lightly. " What does bunshin mean? O wait, I remember now. It's Japanese for separate." She smiled, remembering learning the word in her Japanese classes. " Okay, G'night." Draco said, kissing her again and walking away.
Hermione slowly walked back into the dungeon. Ginny looked up from her bed as Hermione entered. Lavender looked at her, her watering eyes full of concern. Parvati just sat there, staring into space. Everybody else was asleep or silent. " Hey." Ginny said silently. " Hey." Hermione said back, walking over to her bed and sitting down. Ginny walked over and sat down beside Hermione. " You okay?" She asked. " Uh-huh. I saw Harry. And I know this is going to sound quite weird to you guys, but I can read minds. And well, I read Harry's by accident." Ginny pushed her shock away and asked her immediately, " Okay, what was he thinking?" " He..He was thinking that he wished he had got to me first, before Draco did." Hermione said, putting her face in her hands Ginny put an arm around her friend. " You didn't know he likes you?" Ginny asked. Hermione nodded no. " Oh, well he has since second year. When you were petrified, he held your hand, that's how he found your note about the basilisk traveling the pipes and everything." Ginny explained. " Oh." Was all Hermione said. Suddenly Hermione stood up, took out some clothes and walked into the changing room. She came out minutes later in her day clothes, her Gryffindor cloak wrapped around her shoulders. " I'm going to talk to him. I don't care how late it is." She said, and with a swish of her cloak, she was out of the dungeon and walking up to the hospital wing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Voldemort's hiding place~~~~~~~~~~~
" That stupid girl!" Voldemort said, walking back in forth in his office. Lucius Malfoy was standing before him. " How could that stupid Chang girl get in front of the Mudblood that fast?" Voldemort asked Lucius. " Chang was a seeker for Ravenclaw. She is - or was- very fast." Lucius explained to the Dark Lord. " Fine, fine. I will kill that Mudblood! Now that we have actually managed to get you out of Azkaban, you will be the one to do this." The Dark Lord said. Lucius knelt down on one knee and bowed. " Yes, my Lord. What shall I do to the girl?" " Bring her to me. Her powers are very useful. She will be of good use to us." " And my son?" " Bring him also, I will enjoy seeing him suffer." Voldemort stopped pacing and looked Lucius in the eyes. " Now, if you fail to bring them to me, you WILL BE KILLED." And with that, Lucius left, off to retrieve his son and that Mudblood girlfriend of his.
~*~*~*~*~*~Hospital Wing~*~*~*~*~
Hermione slowly opened the door to the hospital wing, and peered inside. It was dimly lit by the full moon shinning outside. She crept in and walked over to the bed Harry was in. She smiled at him as he slept. She took his hand and his opened his eyes. " Hermione? Wha-" " SSSSShhhhh." Hermione whispered, putting two fingers up to Harry's lips. Harry got the picture. " Why are you here so late?" Harry asked, as he massaged the back of her hand with his thumb. " I now what you were thinking when I was here earlier." Hermione whispered, not being able to look him in the eye. " H-how d-did you know?" He stuttered. " I can read minds Harry." Hermione said silently. " Oh.Uh, so you know."Harry said. Hermione looked back at him. She was still holding his hand. " Harry." " Hermione, I'm sorry." "Sorry for what, Harry?" Hermione asked. Harry turned and they locked eyes. " For loving you." He said simply. Hermione felt a tear roll down her cheek. He whipped it away. " Please don't cry, 'Mione." He said, Hermione took his other hand, which was now resting on her cheek. Suddenly Harry pulled Hermione into a kiss and Hermione didn't object. She kissed him back and let go of one of his hands, placing her hand on his cheek, and then running her fingers through his hair. They broke apart, gasping for breath. Harry smiled at Hermione. But Hermione did anything but smile. She felt guilty for kissing Harry. She was betraying Draco by doing so, and she couldn't take it. She stood up, Harry still holding her hand. " I-I have to go." She said quietly and walked out of the wing.
Draco walked into the Slytherin common room. " Draco." Said a voice. He looked up and saw Alex sitting in one of the green chairs before the fire. " Hey." Draco replied making his way over to the other chair in front of the fire. " Are you okay?" Alex asked. " Yah, I'm just worried. If the Dark Lord would try to do something like that tonight." Alex had stood and walked over to him sometime between when he said worried and something. He looked up into her gray eyes. She took his hands and smiled slightly, " I won't let the Dark Lord do anything to you, I'll make sure you're safe! But you have to do me a favor." Alex said, on her face was a wicked smile. Draco looked annoyed. She knew that he and Hermione were together and she had only mentioned protecting HIM. " Oh yeah? And what would that be?" He spat. " Forget the Mudblood and go with me. I'm much better than her and I'm in Slytherin, too!" " Look! I don't li-" But Draco was cut off as Alex pressed her lips against his harshly. Draco pushed her off. " Oh, hello." Alex said looking behind Draco. Draco turned. ' Shit. Hermione it isn't what you think!' He pushed his thoughts into the frightened Hermione's mind. ' O yah? Then what is it? Looks like snogging to me!' Hermione replied to him, giving him a death glare, then her eyes filled with tears. 'Well, I guess we're even now, I just came to tell you that Harry kissed me, and I kissed him back.' Draco's eyes got wide then his brow furrowed and he shouted in her head, ' HOW COULD YOU? ALEX FORCED HERSELF ON ME!!!' Draco was standing now and Alex was backing away. She looked at their faces. 'They're having a mind convo.' She thought. 'Man, lemme just see what they're talking about.' She thought and tried to over-hear Hermione and Draco's conversation. But there was a wall, then Hermione looked at her and glared. Then Hermione's angry voice entered her head, ' You stay out of this!' Alex smiled to herself and then ran to her dormitory, leaving Hermione and Draco downstairs to war it out between themselves.
'How could you?' Hermione asked Draco through thought. ' I didn't do any thing! I told you! Alex forced herself on me!' Draco complained. ' Right.' 'Hermione, I thought you trusted me!' 'I did.' 'Then why are you saying I would kiss Alex?' Hermione's eyes filled with tears and Draco's did the same. 'I don't know. maybe I'm in denial because I don't want to believe that I just kissed Harry.' 'I'm currently choosing to say nothing on that matter,' Draco thought and looked deeply into the fire. ' Yeah.okay, well.I guess. I guess I'll see you around.good-bye.' Hermione pushed the thought into his mind. ' Hermione, wait!' ' No! I don't want to hear it!' Hermione closed her eyes tight and put her hands over her ears. ' Hermione.' 'NO! GO AWAY!' She screamed into his mind. Draco sighed, ' Hermione. you're the one in my common room.' 'Oh, then I guess I'll go. I have to talk to Harry.' Hermione turned on her heal and with tears rolling down her cheeks, she ran out of the Slytherin common room. ' I've got to follow her.' Draco thought as he walked up to his dormitory and pulled out his invisibility cloak.
Hermione cried all the way up to the hospital wing. For the third time that night she had been to seen Harry, and this visit was for herself, not for Harry's sake. As she walked down the hall, she thought she heard footsteps. She turned quickly and found.nothing. That freaked Hermione out. She had seen many scary muggle movies that either ended or started with a scene like this. She broke out into a run and ran into the hospital wing.
Harry was sitting in his bed, looking out the window when he heard someone burst into the wing. " Harry?" Hermione called. " I'm over here." Harry called. Hermione ran over to his side. " What's wrong? You looked scared to death!" " Well, you know how in scary muggle movies, someone will be walking down a hall and then they hear footsteps and they turn to find nobody, then Jason or Freddy comes out and kills them? Well, I was just walking down the hall and I heard footsteps behind me." Hermione said as she hugged him. " Hermione. You , of all people, should know that those movies aren't real. They're just made to scare the hell out of little kids." Harry smiled at her. Hermione smiled slightly. " Now, what are you here for?" Harry asked her. " Oh, yah.I forgot.Well, uh.I accidentally, uh, w-walked in on D-draco and that Alex girl kissing." Hermione said quietly. " Oh Hermione." Harry said and hugged her as she cried. He stroked her hair and whispered in her ear, " It's gonna be all right." Hermione slowly calmed down, but she still clung on to Harry. She laid her head down on his chest. " I love you, 'Mione." Harry whispered. Hermione smiled and hugged him. " Thanks for caring about me, Harry." She replied. " No problem.No problem at all." He replied. Hermione titled her head to look up at him, " I know, but we're both losing our sleep. I think I had better go." " You want me to walk you back?" Harry asked, concern filled his green eyes. " You should stay in bed. I'll be fine, I have my wand and I'll jinx Freddy or Jason into next week." Hermione smiled at him brightly. " You're beautiful, Hermione." Harry said, getting out of his bed and standing beside her. Hermione blushed and gazed into his brilliant green eyes. She leaned in and Harry was about to kiss her. " STOP IT!" Someone yelled. Hermione jerked away and glanced around the room. " What the hell-" Harry started to say, but was cut off. " Hermione, please, don't kiss him." Suddenly Hermione placed the voice and took a step forward. " D-d-draco." She stuttered, " P-please come out." Draco appeared out of thin air and looked at Hermione with hurt eyes. Harry took a step forward and put his arms around Hermione from behind. " Harry, no, I can handle this." Hermione said, and put her hands on Harry's arms, pushing them off of her. Harry started to protest but Hermione put her fingers against his lips. She bravely walked over to Draco. " You don't want me to kiss him? Well, I didn't want you to kiss Alex!" Hermione said, looking as if she were about to slap him. " I already told you! I didn't want to kiss Alex, she forced herself on me!" Draco protested. " Uh-huh. I'm really going to believe that." Hermione's face was now streaked with wet tears. " I thought you trusted me, Hermione.I guess I was wrong." Draco said, whipping his own tears away. 'I did trust you Draco.' She pushed her thought into his mind. ' Why are we talking like this?' He asked silently. ' Because some of the stuff I'm about to mention, I don't think Harry would really like to hear. He might try and kill you.' 'Oh.' 'Well, uh, Draco.I love you, and don't you ever doubt that. But after finding you with Alex tonight.. It makes me think.' 'Hermione. please! I beg of you to listen to me!!!!! Please.' Draco was now sobbing and Hermione looked away from his eyes. ' Please, 'Mione.please.' 'Draco.What are we?' She looked at him questioningly. ' We are fate. That's what we are Hermione.' Draco took her hand and she started to cry more. ' Please..Hermione.If you trust me, you'll believe me about what happened between me and Alex.Just at least hear me out.' Hermione looked into his eyes and could see he really wanted for her to hear this. ' O-okay.'
She sat down on one of the beds and Draco sat down beside her. Harry on the other hand was still standing there. He slowly moved over and stood beside the bed, placing a hand on Hermione shoulder. ' D-do you want me to say this out loud?' Draco asked her mentally. Hermione hesitated, and then shook her head. ' No. Harry might not want to hear it, like I said.' 'Okay.' Draco took a breath. Harry was looking at them as if they were mad. They would suddenly start to cry and look at each other as if they were talking. ' Okay, after I took you to the main dungeon, I went back to my common room.' Draco told her the story about how Alex was saying she would protect him and all that, ' And then you came in and I told you it wasn't what it looked like.' Hermione's eyes were starting to leak tears once more. Draco whipped them away receiving a death glare from Harry. 'Do you believe me?' He asked Hermione. She just smiled at him through her tears. She suddenly lunged at him and threw her arms around his neck. Harry stood, look at the two one last time and walked over to his bed, leaving them to kiss.
Hermione cried into Draco's cloak, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. " I'm so sorry!" She sobbed. " It's alright 'Mione." Draco held her and rocked slowly back and forth on the hospital bed. " C'mon, we need to get to sleep," Draco said, tilting her chin up to look at her. " M'kay, hold on, let me go and say goodbye to Harry." Hermione stood and walked over to Harry's bed. " Harry?" She glanced at him. He was asleep. She moved over to the side of the bed and sighed, " I'm sorry about that Harry." She turned and thought she heard him mumble something. She shrugged her shoulders and walked back to Draco. " You ready?" He asked her. She nodded and put her head on his shoulder, " I love." She whispered. " I love you, too 'Mione." Draco pushed the wing door open and they walked out. As soon as they were outside, Hermione kissed him again, and again. " I sooooooooooooooo sorry!!" She said as they rested their foreheads together. " I know." He said. He smiled brightly and picked her up. " Draco!" She exclaimed. " What?" " Don't drop me!" She said and laid her head beside his. Her breath was hot on his neck. " Where are we going to sleep tonight?" Draco asked. Hermione lifted her head and grinned, " My bed." Draco thought, " Won't the other girls be, uh, shocked to find a Slytherin guy in a Gryffindor girl's bed? With her in his arms?" He asked. Hermione couldn't help but laugh. " You forgot about our magic wands, dear boy." She pulled her wand out of her cloak pocket and smiled evilly at him. " Oh, yah. I did forget."
Hermione jumped down as they came to the dungeon. She peered inside. " Coast is clear." She whispered to Draco who was under his invisibility cloak. The invisible Draco followed her into the dungeon and they walked over to her bed. " She moved to one side of her bed and whispered, " Seperatio" (Sep-er-at-e-o) then turned, motioned for Draco to sit on her bed, whispered the spell again, then turned for the third time and whispered it again. Now her bed was completely shut off from the others. Draco took off the cloak and pointed at the wall. " What?" She asked. " Silencio" Draco pointed his wand at the walls. Then he pointed to the middle wall and murmured, " Door appear." A door popped up on the wall. " What's the silencing charm for?" Hermione asked, walking over to him. He smiled wickedly and raised an eyebrow. Hermione reliezed what he was implying and grabbed her pillow. " You are doomed, my dear Draco!" She thrust the pillow at him. " HEY-OWW!" He yelled. " Now I'm glad you put that silencing charm on the door and walls." Hermione giggled. " Yeah, me too!" Draco reached up, grabbed another one of her pillows and hit her in the back with it. " Watch out!" She screeched and threw her pillow at him. They were now chasing each other around her bed. Hermione finally ran out of breath and closed her eyes, clutching a stitch in her side. Draco saw this as an opportunity and pushed her down on the bed. " Hey!" She screeched as Draco pinned against her bed. Draco smiled down at her and kissed her. She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. " WHAT THE!!!!! HERMIONE!" Someone yelled. Hermione and Draco drew apart. " Ginny." Hermione said, " close the door." Ginny slowly walked in. " Draco, invisibility cloak! Now!" Hermione said as she heard girls waking up. Draco grabbed his cloak. " Ginny, get under there with Draco!"- Ginny looks at her as if she were mad-" Hurry!" Ginny ran over to Draco and he threw the material over them. Her took out her wand and with a swish, had changed into a nightgown. She quickly got under the covers as she heard someone open the door. " Hermione?" Someone asked. It was Luna Lovegood. Hermione faked being asleep. Luna finally gave up and walked out, closing the door. Hermione sighed and Ginny and Draco took off the cloak. " Okay, why are you here?" Ginny asked Draco. " Uh." Draco said, not really sure what to say. " We were having a pillow fight, Ginny." Hermione giggled. " Oh.Okay, then I'll leave two alone." Ginny smiled at Draco and winked at Hermione. She left the room and Hermione started to laugh. " Why are you laughing? We could have just got caught!" Draco complained. Hermione couldn't stop laughing enough to reply. Draco smiled at her. " You really are weird, Granger." Hermione's laughs turned to giggles, and her giggles turned to gasps for breath. " I know, but, hey, it's better than you Malfoy." " It's master Draco to you." Draco smirked at her. " Uh-huh.Right." Hermione smiled at him. He took her wrist. "Don't dare, Granger, mistake me for an idiot." Draco said. " Right. I know you're not an idiot.. You're not Harry." Hermione said to 'Master Draco'. " I am very pleased to hear that from you Granger." 'Master Draco' said, running his fingers through his hair. " Your welcome.master." She smiled up at him. He smiled in return. " Okay, enough of our games, lets get some sleep, shall we?" Hermione nodded and Draco climbed in her bed. She crawled in behind him and lay down. Draco wrapped his arms around Hermione and brought her closer to him. " You know.I never thought that I could actually love somebody. But I guess I was proven wrong, wasn't I?" When he said that, tears came to Hermione's eyes. " What's wrong?" Draco asked her. " Nothing, it's just, that I'm glad I proved you wrong." Draco smiled at the girl in his arms. " I'm glad, too." He whispered in her ear and kissed her softly. Hermione giggled against his lips as she rolled over on top of him. He broke apart from her and embraced her in his arms. " I love-" Hermione started to whisper but was cut off as Draco kissed her again. She pressed against him, deepening the kiss. She slowly pulled away, gasping for breath. She laid her head down on Draco's chest and hugged him. " I love you." She whispered. " I love you, too 'Mione." Draco said before they were both pulled into a deep sleep. Little did they know of devious plan that was taking place at that moment. Little did they know that they were going to be snatched. Little did they know, that their fate would lead them in different directions. Or would it?
Semi Cliffhanger. ~he he~ Well, school starts back in about two days!!!! ^.^ Its Monday night here and Fooly Cooly's on TV. I'm recording it! School starts on Wednesday and I can't wait. Me and my freaky friends always have fun, even if we don't have every class together. I only have two classes that I don't have a friend in it w/ me!!!!! Neway, I'm gonna tease ya'll a bit! Here's a small summary of the next chapter:
In the Next Chapter:
Lucius Malfoys' plan starts it toll and if Hermione and Draco don't figure it out in time, they will surely be kidnapped by the devious monster who calls himself Dracos' father. Meanwhile, Harry is having a serious thinking session in the Gryffindor common room when Ginny walks in.
~he he~ just wanted to make you guys want to read it! Some people might be thinking currently that this story is boring. Some may think it has too many curse words. Well, I don't care. Some people don't like Hermione and Draco. I don't care. Some people don't like me. I don't care. I don't know why I said that.. Neway, if you don't like it, then don't read it. I guess that what I was trying to say is, some people sstumble onto Draco and Hermione stories by accident and the summary can be misleading, and they might read it, thinking its hermione and harry or something like that, Neway, they get all pissed and sometimes write the writer saying that Hermione and Draco sucks. I got a mail like that.. And it really pissed me off. O wel.. Discusion closed, if you can call that a discussion... Well, bye bye for now.
Shawazu: I wish I had classes w/ you at school!
Rogue: Me too, don't worry, we still have lunch and then exploratory. O yah, some people might be thinking, Cho dies from this Crutious (if that's how you spell it) curse?

Chapter 17: What are we?
Hermione and Draco walked into the castle. The Hall, of course, was closed and professors were running around frantically. Professor McGonnagal walked up to them, " Where HAVE you two been?" She asked. " W-we were outside." Hermione stuttered, whipping away her tears. McGonnagal looked at Hermione with concern. " Oh, well you two need to get to bed, Miss Granger, you might want to go and visit Mr. Potter. He's in the hospital wing." " What? Why?" Hermione asked, puzzled. " He tried to kill himself after Miss Chang died, he slashed his wrists and tried to hang himself, but we found himself before he did." Hermione's eyes grew wide. She instantly ran up to the hospital wing, Draco trying to catch up. She reached the wing and burst in. Madame Promfrey looked up at Hermione then pointed to a bed on the far side of the wing. Draco walked in after her and followed her over to Harry's bed. " Harry?" Hermione asked as they approached his bed. " Hermione?" He asked. " Uh- huh." She said, she lit a candle on his beside table and looked at him. He didn't look bad, but his eyes were incredibly red and puffy from crying. " I can't believe she's gone, 'Mione." He whispered, tears rolling down his face. Hermione hugged him. " I know, I can't believe it either. If it weren't for me, then she would be alive."-Hermione started to cry, too. - " No, I'm glad she protected you. You are the most important thing in the world to me, 'Mione. You, Ron, and Ginny are. You guys are my family and friends and always will be."-He smiled slightly through his tears. - " Harry, I don't know what to say. I guess I'm flattered." Hermione whispered. Draco stood behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm gonna give you two a moment." He whispered then walked out of the wing. Hermione and Harry cried in each other's arms and finally broke apart. Hermione whipped her eyes and Harry cleaned his glasses. He took her hand and held it for a while. " Harry." She whispered. " Hm?" He asked, starring into her amber eyes. ' I wish I had gotten to her first.'Harry thought suddenly. Hermione smiled. " If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. After all, Ron can be misunderstanding." She hugged him again and walked slowly out of the wing, her heart pounding in her chest.
Hermione hadn't meant to read Harry's mind. As soon as she walked out of the hall, Draco's arms went around her waist and his lips met hers. She smiled slightly, and continued walking, hand in hand with Draco. As they reached the dungeon, Hermione started to wonder why Harry had thought that. 'Uh, he obviously loves you!' Said a voice in her head, then another voice spoke.' He loves me as a friend.' 'No he doesn't. He loves you more than that!' ' So, I don't love him like that, I love Draco.' 'Yah, right.' 'I do love Draco!' ' I know you do, but you still love Harry, too.' 'O, maybe you're right, but if I love Harry its only because he's my best friend.' ' Uh-huh. I'm sure you'll be saying that when you two are snogging together-' 'Shut up! I won't be snogging with him!' 'Yes you will.' 'NO I WILL NOT!' she screamed in her head at the voice. She shook her head violently. Draco shook her shoulders. " 'Mione, are you okay? What's wrong?" He asked, placing a hand on her cheek. " I-I'm fine. I just need some sleep, that's all." She whispered. " Do you want to stay with me tonight?" Draco asked, caressing her cheek with his palm. " No. I'll be fine; I have to talk to Lavender and Ginny. They're most likely waiting for me." Hermione replied looking up into Draco's eyes. " Okay, night. If you need me, feel free to come to my room. The password is bunshin." He said, kissing her lightly. " What does bunshin mean? O wait, I remember now. It's Japanese for separate." She smiled, remembering learning the word in her Japanese classes. " Okay, G'night." Draco said, kissing her again and walking away.
Hermione slowly walked back into the dungeon. Ginny looked up from her bed as Hermione entered. Lavender looked at her, her watering eyes full of concern. Parvati just sat there, staring into space. Everybody else was asleep or silent. " Hey." Ginny said silently. " Hey." Hermione said back, walking over to her bed and sitting down. Ginny walked over and sat down beside Hermione. " You okay?" She asked. " Uh-huh. I saw Harry. And I know this is going to sound quite weird to you guys, but I can read minds. And well, I read Harry's by accident." Ginny pushed her shock away and asked her immediately, " Okay, what was he thinking?" " He..He was thinking that he wished he had got to me first, before Draco did." Hermione said, putting her face in her hands Ginny put an arm around her friend. " You didn't know he likes you?" Ginny asked. Hermione nodded no. " Oh, well he has since second year. When you were petrified, he held your hand, that's how he found your note about the basilisk traveling the pipes and everything." Ginny explained. " Oh." Was all Hermione said. Suddenly Hermione stood up, took out some clothes and walked into the changing room. She came out minutes later in her day clothes, her Gryffindor cloak wrapped around her shoulders. " I'm going to talk to him. I don't care how late it is." She said, and with a swish of her cloak, she was out of the dungeon and walking up to the hospital wing.

" That stupid girl!" Voldemort said, walking back in forth in his office. Lucius Malfoy was standing before him. " How could that stupid Chang girl get in front of the Mudblood that fast?" Voldemort asked Lucius. " Chang was a seeker for Ravenclaw. She is - or was- very fast." Lucius explained to the Dark Lord. " Fine, fine. I will kill that Mudblood! Now that we have actually managed to get you out of Azkaban, you will be the one to do this." The Dark Lord said. Lucius knelt down on one knee and bowed. " Yes, my Lord. What shall I do to the girl?" " Bring her to me. Her powers are very useful. She will be of good use to us." " And my son?" " Bring him also, I will enjoy seeing him suffer." Voldemort stopped pacing and looked Lucius in the eyes. " Now, if you fail to bring them to me, you WILL BE KILLED." And with that, Lucius left, off to retrieve his son and that Mudblood girlfriend of his.
~*~*~*~*~*~Hospital Wing~*~*~*~*~
Hermione slowly opened the door to the hospital wing, and peered inside. It was dimly lit by the full moon shinning outside. She crept in and walked over to the bed Harry was in. She smiled at him as he slept. She took his hand and his opened his eyes. " Hermione? Wha-" " SSSSShhhhh." Hermione whispered, putting two fingers up to Harry's lips. Harry got the picture. " Why are you here so late?" Harry asked, as he massaged the back of her hand with his thumb. " I now what you were thinking when I was here earlier." Hermione whispered, not being able to look him in the eye. " H-how d-did you know?" He stuttered. " I can read minds Harry." Hermione said silently. " Oh.Uh, so you know."Harry said. Hermione looked back at him. She was still holding his hand. " Harry." " Hermione, I'm sorry." "Sorry for what, Harry?" Hermione asked. Harry turned and they locked eyes. " For loving you." He said simply. Hermione felt a tear roll down her cheek. He whipped it away. " Please don't cry, 'Mione." He said, Hermione took his other hand, which was now resting on her cheek. Suddenly Harry pulled Hermione into a kiss and Hermione didn't object. She kissed him back and let go of one of his hands, placing her hand on his cheek, and then running her fingers through his hair. They broke apart, gasping for breath. Harry smiled at Hermione. But Hermione did anything but smile. She felt guilty for kissing Harry. She was betraying Draco by doing so, and she couldn't take it. She stood up, Harry still holding her hand. " I-I have to go." She said quietly and walked out of the wing.
Draco walked into the Slytherin common room. " Draco." Said a voice. He looked up and saw Alex sitting in one of the green chairs before the fire. " Hey." Draco replied making his way over to the other chair in front of the fire. " Are you okay?" Alex asked. " Yah, I'm just worried. If the Dark Lord would try to do something like that tonight." Alex had stood and walked over to him sometime between when he said worried and something. He looked up into her gray eyes. She took his hands and smiled slightly, " I won't let the Dark Lord do anything to you, I'll make sure you're safe! But you have to do me a favor." Alex said, on her face was a wicked smile. Draco looked annoyed. She knew that he and Hermione were together and she had only mentioned protecting HIM. " Oh yeah? And what would that be?" He spat. " Forget the Mudblood and go with me. I'm much better than her and I'm in Slytherin, too!" " Look! I don't li-" But Draco was cut off as Alex pressed her lips against his harshly. Draco pushed her off. " Oh, hello." Alex said looking behind Draco. Draco turned. ' Shit. Hermione it isn't what you think!' He pushed his thoughts into the frightened Hermione's mind. ' O yah? Then what is it? Looks like snogging to me!' Hermione replied to him, giving him a death glare, then her eyes filled with tears. 'Well, I guess we're even now, I just came to tell you that Harry kissed me, and I kissed him back.' Draco's eyes got wide then his brow furrowed and he shouted in her head, ' HOW COULD YOU? ALEX FORCED HERSELF ON ME!!!' Draco was standing now and Alex was backing away. She looked at their faces. 'They're having a mind convo.' She thought. 'Man, lemme just see what they're talking about.' She thought and tried to over-hear Hermione and Draco's conversation. But there was a wall, then Hermione looked at her and glared. Then Hermione's angry voice entered her head, ' You stay out of this!' Alex smiled to herself and then ran to her dormitory, leaving Hermione and Draco downstairs to war it out between themselves.
'How could you?' Hermione asked Draco through thought. ' I didn't do any thing! I told you! Alex forced herself on me!' Draco complained. ' Right.' 'Hermione, I thought you trusted me!' 'I did.' 'Then why are you saying I would kiss Alex?' Hermione's eyes filled with tears and Draco's did the same. 'I don't know. maybe I'm in denial because I don't want to believe that I just kissed Harry.' 'I'm currently choosing to say nothing on that matter,' Draco thought and looked deeply into the fire. ' Yeah.okay, well.I guess. I guess I'll see you around.good-bye.' Hermione pushed the thought into his mind. ' Hermione, wait!' ' No! I don't want to hear it!' Hermione closed her eyes tight and put her hands over her ears. ' Hermione.' 'NO! GO AWAY!' She screamed into his mind. Draco sighed, ' Hermione. you're the one in my common room.' 'Oh, then I guess I'll go. I have to talk to Harry.' Hermione turned on her heal and with tears rolling down her cheeks, she ran out of the Slytherin common room. ' I've got to follow her.' Draco thought as he walked up to his dormitory and pulled out his invisibility cloak.
Hermione cried all the way up to the hospital wing. For the third time that night she had been to seen Harry, and this visit was for herself, not for Harry's sake. As she walked down the hall, she thought she heard footsteps. She turned quickly and found.nothing. That freaked Hermione out. She had seen many scary muggle movies that either ended or started with a scene like this. She broke out into a run and ran into the hospital wing.
Harry was sitting in his bed, looking out the window when he heard someone burst into the wing. " Harry?" Hermione called. " I'm over here." Harry called. Hermione ran over to his side. " What's wrong? You looked scared to death!" " Well, you know how in scary muggle movies, someone will be walking down a hall and then they hear footsteps and they turn to find nobody, then Jason or Freddy comes out and kills them? Well, I was just walking down the hall and I heard footsteps behind me." Hermione said as she hugged him. " Hermione. You , of all people, should know that those movies aren't real. They're just made to scare the hell out of little kids." Harry smiled at her. Hermione smiled slightly. " Now, what are you here for?" Harry asked her. " Oh, yah.I forgot.Well, uh.I accidentally, uh, w-walked in on D-draco and that Alex girl kissing." Hermione said quietly. " Oh Hermione." Harry said and hugged her as she cried. He stroked her hair and whispered in her ear, " It's gonna be all right." Hermione slowly calmed down, but she still clung on to Harry. She laid her head down on his chest. " I love you, 'Mione." Harry whispered. Hermione smiled and hugged him. " Thanks for caring about me, Harry." She replied. " No problem.No problem at all." He replied. Hermione titled her head to look up at him, " I know, but we're both losing our sleep. I think I had better go." " You want me to walk you back?" Harry asked, concern filled his green eyes. " You should stay in bed. I'll be fine, I have my wand and I'll jinx Freddy or Jason into next week." Hermione smiled at him brightly. " You're beautiful, Hermione." Harry said, getting out of his bed and standing beside her. Hermione blushed and gazed into his brilliant green eyes. She leaned in and Harry was about to kiss her. " STOP IT!" Someone yelled. Hermione jerked away and glanced around the room. " What the hell-" Harry started to say, but was cut off. " Hermione, please, don't kiss him." Suddenly Hermione placed the voice and took a step forward. " D-d-draco." She stuttered, " P-please come out." Draco appeared out of thin air and looked at Hermione with hurt eyes. Harry took a step forward and put his arms around Hermione from behind. " Harry, no, I can handle this." Hermione said, and put her hands on Harry's arms, pushing them off of her. Harry started to protest but Hermione put her fingers against his lips. She bravely walked over to Draco. " You don't want me to kiss him? Well, I didn't want you to kiss Alex!" Hermione said, looking as if she were about to slap him. " I already told you! I didn't want to kiss Alex, she forced herself on me!" Draco protested. " Uh-huh. I'm really going to believe that." Hermione's face was now streaked with wet tears. " I thought you trusted me, Hermione.I guess I was wrong." Draco said, whipping his own tears away. 'I did trust you Draco.' She pushed her thought into his mind. ' Why are we talking like this?' He asked silently. ' Because some of the stuff I'm about to mention, I don't think Harry would really like to hear. He might try and kill you.' 'Oh.' 'Well, uh, Draco.I love you, and don't you ever doubt that. But after finding you with Alex tonight.. It makes me think.' 'Hermione. please! I beg of you to listen to me!!!!! Please.' Draco was now sobbing and Hermione looked away from his eyes. ' Please, 'Mione.please.' 'Draco.What are we?' She looked at him questioningly. ' We are fate. That's what we are Hermione.' Draco took her hand and she started to cry more. ' Please..Hermione.If you trust me, you'll believe me about what happened between me and Alex.Just at least hear me out.' Hermione looked into his eyes and could see he really wanted for her to hear this. ' O-okay.'
She sat down on one of the beds and Draco sat down beside her. Harry on the other hand was still standing there. He slowly moved over and stood beside the bed, placing a hand on Hermione shoulder. ' D-do you want me to say this out loud?' Draco asked her mentally. Hermione hesitated, and then shook her head. ' No. Harry might not want to hear it, like I said.' 'Okay.' Draco took a breath. Harry was looking at them as if they were mad. They would suddenly start to cry and look at each other as if they were talking. ' Okay, after I took you to the main dungeon, I went back to my common room.' Draco told her the story about how Alex was saying she would protect him and all that, ' And then you came in and I told you it wasn't what it looked like.' Hermione's eyes were starting to leak tears once more. Draco whipped them away receiving a death glare from Harry. 'Do you believe me?' He asked Hermione. She just smiled at him through her tears. She suddenly lunged at him and threw her arms around his neck. Harry stood, look at the two one last time and walked over to his bed, leaving them to kiss.
Hermione cried into Draco's cloak, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. " I'm so sorry!" She sobbed. " It's alright 'Mione." Draco held her and rocked slowly back and forth on the hospital bed. " C'mon, we need to get to sleep," Draco said, tilting her chin up to look at her. " M'kay, hold on, let me go and say goodbye to Harry." Hermione stood and walked over to Harry's bed. " Harry?" She glanced at him. He was asleep. She moved over to the side of the bed and sighed, " I'm sorry about that Harry." She turned and thought she heard him mumble something. She shrugged her shoulders and walked back to Draco. " You ready?" He asked her. She nodded and put her head on his shoulder, " I love." She whispered. " I love you, too 'Mione." Draco pushed the wing door open and they walked out. As soon as they were outside, Hermione kissed him again, and again. " I sooooooooooooooo sorry!!" She said as they rested their foreheads together. " I know." He said. He smiled brightly and picked her up. " Draco!" She exclaimed. " What?" " Don't drop me!" She said and laid her head beside his. Her breath was hot on his neck. " Where are we going to sleep tonight?" Draco asked. Hermione lifted her head and grinned, " My bed." Draco thought, " Won't the other girls be, uh, shocked to find a Slytherin guy in a Gryffindor girl's bed? With her in his arms?" He asked. Hermione couldn't help but laugh. " You forgot about our magic wands, dear boy." She pulled her wand out of her cloak pocket and smiled evilly at him. " Oh, yah. I did forget."
Hermione jumped down as they came to the dungeon. She peered inside. " Coast is clear." She whispered to Draco who was under his invisibility cloak. The invisible Draco followed her into the dungeon and they walked over to her bed. " She moved to one side of her bed and whispered, " Seperatio" (Sep-er-at-e-o) then turned, motioned for Draco to sit on her bed, whispered the spell again, then turned for the third time and whispered it again. Now her bed was completely shut off from the others. Draco took off the cloak and pointed at the wall. " What?" She asked. " Silencio" Draco pointed his wand at the walls. Then he pointed to the middle wall and murmured, " Door appear." A door popped up on the wall. " What's the silencing charm for?" Hermione asked, walking over to him. He smiled wickedly and raised an eyebrow. Hermione reliezed what he was implying and grabbed her pillow. " You are doomed, my dear Draco!" She thrust the pillow at him. " HEY-OWW!" He yelled. " Now I'm glad you put that silencing charm on the door and walls." Hermione giggled. " Yeah, me too!" Draco reached up, grabbed another one of her pillows and hit her in the back with it. " Watch out!" She screeched and threw her pillow at him. They were now chasing each other around her bed. Hermione finally ran out of breath and closed her eyes, clutching a stitch in her side. Draco saw this as an opportunity and pushed her down on the bed. " Hey!" She screeched as Draco pinned against her bed. Draco smiled down at her and kissed her. She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. " WHAT THE!!!!! HERMIONE!" Someone yelled. Hermione and Draco drew apart. " Ginny." Hermione said, " close the door." Ginny slowly walked in. " Draco, invisibility cloak! Now!" Hermione said as she heard girls waking up. Draco grabbed his cloak. " Ginny, get under there with Draco!"- Ginny looks at her as if she were mad-" Hurry!" Ginny ran over to Draco and he threw the material over them. Her took out her wand and with a swish, had changed into a nightgown. She quickly got under the covers as she heard someone open the door. " Hermione?" Someone asked. It was Luna Lovegood. Hermione faked being asleep. Luna finally gave up and walked out, closing the door. Hermione sighed and Ginny and Draco took off the cloak. " Okay, why are you here?" Ginny asked Draco. " Uh." Draco said, not really sure what to say. " We were having a pillow fight, Ginny." Hermione giggled. " Oh.Okay, then I'll leave two alone." Ginny smiled at Draco and winked at Hermione. She left the room and Hermione started to laugh. " Why are you laughing? We could have just got caught!" Draco complained. Hermione couldn't stop laughing enough to reply. Draco smiled at her. " You really are weird, Granger." Hermione's laughs turned to giggles, and her giggles turned to gasps for breath. " I know, but, hey, it's better than you Malfoy." " It's master Draco to you." Draco smirked at her. " Uh-huh.Right." Hermione smiled at him. He took her wrist. "Don't dare, Granger, mistake me for an idiot." Draco said. " Right. I know you're not an idiot.. You're not Harry." Hermione said to 'Master Draco'. " I am very pleased to hear that from you Granger." 'Master Draco' said, running his fingers through his hair. " Your welcome.master." She smiled up at him. He smiled in return. " Okay, enough of our games, lets get some sleep, shall we?" Hermione nodded and Draco climbed in her bed. She crawled in behind him and lay down. Draco wrapped his arms around Hermione and brought her closer to him. " You know.I never thought that I could actually love somebody. But I guess I was proven wrong, wasn't I?" When he said that, tears came to Hermione's eyes. " What's wrong?" Draco asked her. " Nothing, it's just, that I'm glad I proved you wrong." Draco smiled at the girl in his arms. " I'm glad, too." He whispered in her ear and kissed her softly. Hermione giggled against his lips as she rolled over on top of him. He broke apart from her and embraced her in his arms. " I love-" Hermione started to whisper but was cut off as Draco kissed her again. She pressed against him, deepening the kiss. She slowly pulled away, gasping for breath. She laid her head down on Draco's chest and hugged him. " I love you." She whispered. " I love you, too 'Mione." Draco said before they were both pulled into a deep sleep. Little did they know of devious plan that was taking place at that moment. Little did they know that they were going to be snatched. Little did they know, that their fate would lead them in different directions. Or would it?

~he he~ just wanted to make you guys want to read it! Some people might be thinking currently that this story is boring. Some may think it has too many curse words. Well, I don't care. Some people don't like Hermione and Draco. I don't care. Some people don't like me. I don't care. I don't know why I said that.. Neway, if you don't like it, then don't read it. I guess that what I was trying to say is, some people sstumble onto Draco and Hermione stories by accident and the summary can be misleading, and they might read it, thinking its hermione and harry or something like that, Neway, they get all pissed and sometimes write the writer saying that Hermione and Draco sucks. I got a mail like that.. And it really pissed me off. O wel.. Discusion closed, if you can call that a discussion... Well, bye bye for now.
