Chapter 4

"Where were you all these years Hermione?" asked Ron as everyone finally calmed down.

"In the muggle world under another identity. I used the name Lyra smith. I didn't want to see anyone because everything would remind me of..." She broke down Ron and Harry tried there best to calm her down finally it worked and she started again. "I'm sorry I betrayed you guys. I am so sorry for everything that I have done to you. All the trouble I caused. I thought you didn't care." And she cried some more.

"Of course we care Hermione that's why we spent the past eight years looking for you and I got something for you too it's in my office come on"

Harry grabbed her hand and led her towards the filling cabinet. "This should be yours. It's your diploma I took care of it for you when you left. I knew that If I would see you again that I would really like to this give to you."

For about the hundredth time that day she broke down. "Thank you so much Harry" and hugged him hard.

"WHOS UP FOR THE PUB!" screamed Ron.

They all apperated to the nearest pub the leaky cauldron they walked in and people stopped what they were doing they saw the girl who was on there news and nearly every street corner, The girl who was missing for eight years had just walked into the leaky cauldron.

Hermione was a little embarrassed but lucky for her everyone turned away and carried on with their drinks with some new gossip.

They went to Tom the bar tender Hermione felt like crying all over again Tom looked so old and so different he now lost all his teeth apart from the ones at the front and he was wrinkled "three butterbeers and one straight scotch" asked Ron.

"It's on the house" replied Tom

"Thank you Tom I've missed you so much" said Hermione

"I have missed you just as much Miss Granger. Oh one minuet, what now Mr. Malfoy! "

Hermione looked at who he was looking at and there he was in all his drunken glory Draco Malfoy. Hermione looked at him and felt her heart somersault.

Malfoy felt that he was being watched so he turned to see who was staring at him and there she was just as beautiful as he remembered long golden brown, hair honey eyes and the short 5'4 body. His heart stopped and he felt it again he felt the love he felt as a 17 year old boy.

She got up from her seat telling her friends she needed to go toilet and ran.

She wasn't gonna go this time' Malfoy got up from his seat and went after her.

He caught up with her before she could get into Diagon alley and held her tightly around the waist. "Get off me" she screeched "I hate you broke my heart for your own honour I hate you I wish you died not Sirius or cedric I hate you so much!"

"I'm not letting you go not this time" he whispered in her hair.

"R ON HARRY GET HIM OFF ME! PLEASE R ON HARRY" Draco heard them coming so he turned Hermione around and looked right into her eyes. He gave her a soft kiss on the lips and apperated away.

Hermione was left in shock she stood there staring as Ron and Harry had finally came. "He was here" she said in an inaudible whisper and she ran and gave Ron and Harry and massive hug. "Can I stay at one of your houses tonight?"

"You can stay at mine Ron has got a girlfriend, a very jealous girlfriend."

"Parvita is not that jealous"

"Your going out with parvita?!" asked Hermione. She thought parvita hated Ron. 'Well I guess a lot did change in eight years'

"Yea and Harry's just jealous because he could hit it off with a certain sister of mine"

"That's enough of that!" shouted Harry blushing.

"You started it by saying that about my girlfriend."

"Not my fault she's like that."

"she's not!"

"yes she is. Remember when we went to the three broomsticks she was going to kill Rosemeta. You still like her don't you Ron. She about sixty!"

Hermione smiled and thought to herself 'something's never change' but she was still confused. Why did he kiss her? Was it because he was drunk? Or did he just do it as some kind of joke?

"Bye 'mione take care of yourself" and Ron gave her a massive hug

"Yea you too Ron"

Harry led the way to his London penthouse apartment.
