This chapter may seem corny, but I'm still going to write it. I really kind of have writers block. Life's really not a picnic right now.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter!

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

We ran as far as we could down the hall and slipped into a secret passage way. We figured once the Harry Fan Club found out that Draco has beaten him up then all hell would break loose. Personally, I'm sure I would enjoy that...but not right now. This wasn't such a great time to run into a bunch of first years with Harry Potter notepads and messenger bangs with Harry Potter pins. Ugh.

When we exited the end of the passageway that lead us into the hallway on the third floor we were relived to have escaped. There were broom closets everywhere. Everyone we walked past seemed to moan and giggle. Hey that's what this hall was known for. I didn't care. Me and Draco were holding hands and making other people scared to be in our surroundings. It was great.

When we got to a turn leading to the Gryffindor Common Room and Ron broke off running.

"Got to go find my girl." He yelled back and winked. We just smiled at him. I guess there really wasn't much for me or Draco to talk about. We just walked all over school holding hands. I mean I didn't even look at me. We just looked on straight ahead the whole time.

My only question to doubt this is...does he really love me? He says he does...every day in fact, but how am I supposed to know he's sincere. I looked over at him and saw worry on his face. Maybe he doubts my love for him to. This really isn't fair! Why can't I ever be happy for once? I mean it seems as if everyone else is happy and I'm mooching off what everyone else left behind. Draco can have any girl in the world no matter what his social status is, yet he's wasting time with me? Why? I really don't have anything to offer him but a basket case of tears and depression. He seems to be getting better, but I feel like I'm getting worse...why?

I bolted from the scene leaving him there for a few seconds before he chased after me.

"Hermione...what the hell?" he asked "Please...just leave me alone." I sobbed.

"I can't exactly do that because last time I did you nearly killed yourself. Listen Hermione...you can tell me anything...you know that." He whispered into my ear as he held me in his arms under the gigantic tree that grew beside the lake.

"Draco...do you really love? Because if you don't I..." I was stopped as he spun me around and kissed me. It was probably the most amazing kiss I had ever received in my life...based on the fact that I had hardly ever been kissed. My mind was fluttering and my stomach was flipping. His hands were on my head and back. I didn't know what to do. It was different than any other kiss ever. It was a lover's kiss.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The next morning I woke up smiling. Last night had been amazing. It wasn't like I expected it. After that kiss I was sure we'd go back to his room and have sex...but he wasn't like that. He did however take me to his room. He showed me his letters that he always meant to send me over the summer, but never had the courage to. He showed me his poems and his songs. He played his guitar for me. It was so amazing. We laid down on his bed just talking. Nothing more than that...just talking. It was amazing. He told me about his mother and his little sister. He showed me a picture of her. She's the most adorable little thing ever. She has his eyes and hair. That picture made me want to have a baby just like that one day.

Draco escorted me back to my room where a letter was waiting for me. It had the Malfoy symbol on it and I knew exactly who it was from. I smiled as I turned around. He smiled and kissed me ever so softly. My lips were paralyzed from his kiss. He whispered good night and shut the door. The minute he was gone I giggled and ran to my bed. I read his letter slowly and completely focused. I didn't want to miss a word that my love had written. "He has such beautiful handwriting" I thought to myself. I giggled when I read his words until the serious part came.

Hermione...I know you are doubting my love for you. I can read it on your face at time when we're alone. I want you to know that you are my world. I love you more than anything else in this world combined. More then magic could proclaim. I would die for you any day, just so you could live on. I want to be there for you and I want to be with you forever and ever. Nothing could ever tear me apart from you. You are my everything and more. You make me smile when I'm sad. You make me have something to care for and protect. I love you so much!
Love,
Draco Edward Malfoy

Ps- Uh...will you go the dance with me? I forgot to put that in my letter. Umm...yea that's it. Ok. Good bye.

There is no doubt in my mind that I will go with him. He's the most amazing person ever...and to top it off...he DOES LOVE ME!!! I'm so happy. I need to tell Ron.

I headed out of my dorm at towards the Common Room...but before I left I noticed something else on my bed...a Howler...from Harry. I figured I might as well open it.

HERMIONE GRANGER IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING TO THE DANCE WITH THAT MALFOY YOU HAD BETTER BE KIDDING! BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING WITH ME!

The voice blew my hair back and I was holding onto the Howler for dear life. "Uhh...well I guess that puts me in an awkward position doesn't it!" I said to myself. "Oh this sucks." I banged my head against the wall a few times before running downstairs.

"Harry! What was up with the Howler?" I asked.

"Didn't you listen to it? I know I heard it...hmm...I like the sound of my voice." Harry smirked.

"Look jerk-off I'm not going with you to the dance. Draco Malfoy invited me first and that's who I will be attending with thank you very much." I said as I started to push pass him.

"Ooh no you don't. You're not going anywhere Hermione." He grinned.

"And why not?" I asked somewhat fearfully as he started inching closer to me. "Harry, answer me...and get away from me you freak." I shouted. Unfortunately everyone was asleep so they didn't hear me yell.

"Simple Hermione...Because you're mine." He said as he lunged at me.

And so I happened...Harry Potter...Wonder Boy...Mr. Do-Gooder...Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch squad raped me. Raped me like the dirty dog he is, and I'll never forget that night.

Wow... this is 4 pages long. I think that's the longest chapter I've written. I know it sounds small...but I don't want to cram events...plus the writing is tiny. Ok so this is where we came to trouble last time. 3 reviews...ok if you can give them to me I don't know what I'll do...but I'll make the next chapter extra special! 3 reviews my people!
