Chapter 1

Hermione's POV

Draco and Gabriella were sitting on the couch the morning of August 7th (the next morning) and he was effortlessly trying to get her to tell him who she was.

"Please Ella! Tell me who you are!?!"

"No, Draco I told you I wouldn't tell you!" She was on his lap facing him. The unbuttoned blue shirt he had on showed a well-toned body from playing Quidditch. She kissed him lightly on the lips, and then deepened it when he put his tongue in her mouth. She liked it when he explored her mouth with the tongue that was soon to be forever hers. She broke off the kiss and got up. Draco threw a pillow at her and ran over to the front door while his socks made him slip on the marble floor. Ella ran after him and pushed him against the door placing her body firmly against his. Again they kissed, only this time they were interrupted, not by either one of them, but by the various deatheaters begging their pardon, and excusing themselves as their meeting was over that took place in the room next to the front door. Ella took a step back from Draco and he moved away from the door. Ella wanted to spend every last day of the summer with Draco, but tomorrow she went back to the Granger's. She thought about telling Draco who she was, but she couldn't. Then she thought about telling Harry and Ron who she was, but she couldn't do that either, they would be so mad.

***************************Draco's POV**********************************

"I don't want to go Draco!" Ella said as she was leaving.

"I'll miss you so much." Draco replied

"We'll see each other soon though... sooner than you think." She said the last part under her breath. As she left to get on the train I shouted at her, "Remember, you'll always be my Ella!" I'm not sure she could hear me, but I said it anyway. I wished that my mother were here. She'd help me through the last week, she's much more understanding than that mean Lucius is. He shouldn't even be called a father, he's done nothing except set up my betrothal to Gabriella, and for that I suppose I should be grateful. As we traveled back to the mansion I decided that we could go to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Perhaps I'd see Ella, though I shouldn't get my hopes up. I fell into a dreamless sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I woke up the next morning, having had a good night's rest. I got ready quicker than usual, anxious to get to Diagon Alley.

"Hermione! We're so glad to see you!" Anne Granger said.

"Yep, we both missed you a lot, didn't know what to do without your magic!" Benjamin Granger had added.

"Well i can imagine seeing as how you two can do your own magic." Hermione said sarcastically. The Granger's were purebloods as well, though no one knew that either, except for Voldemort and the Lestrange's. All of it had to be kept a secret; especially that Ella was to be, if she so desired, the most powerful witch on the planet. Receiving powers from Voldemort himself when she was just a baby. Draco and her was Voldemort's most powerful weapon so far, though neither of them knew it yet.

"We have a surprise for you Hermione!" Ben said.

"Okay." She quickly ran upstairs and put all her stuff away. She then ran back down stairs. "What's the surprise?"

"Well, while you were gone, the Weaslys and we made arrangements to stay at the Leaky Caldron for the last couple of weeks before the start of the term!" Anne said.

"Are you serious?!?" Hermione gasped, "That's wicked! Thanks mum, thanks dad." She said as she hugged them both.

************************************************************************

Hermione was looking around for bright red hair. She didn't have to look very hard as she noticed them right away.

"Harry! Ron!" She ran towards them in a very fast sprint. She wrapped her arms around both of them and pulled them into a bone-crushing hug.

"Wow" said Harry, "Mione! Your hair looks beautiful, you..."

"Thanks, brown was getting a little old." She interrupted. Hermione's hair was now a reddish brown color. It fell straight down her back and was no longer bushy anymore. She had the most beautiful golden-rod yellow eyes that had the power to make you melt and everything around you change making you all confused. They were enchanting. If anyone had asked her she would have rather of had raven black hair to go with her eyes, but she knew that, that would never be possible, as it would give away her identity to Draco. She couldn't wait till the summer when Draco and her were to be married. She loved Draco with all her heart and soul. She was shaken from her thoughts by Harry.

"Mione! Anyone in there?" He asked trying to get her attention.

"What? Oh sorry, I was thinking"

"Big surprise there" Ron said annoyingly.

"We're going to go to Tom's Ice Cream Parlor. Is that okay with you?" Harry said quickly trying to change the subject.

"Oh yeah. I love the ice cream there." She looked at them both. "Well, what are we waiting for?" With that she pulled them both along.
