Hey guys! Sorry I didn't post this earlier! I was at a sleep-over at my friend's house yesterday. Yea. And.um.this wasn't read by my beta-readers yet, so...lol. The next chapter will be read by my beta-readers and stuff.

You know the Bachlorette? And Ryan Sutter won? He went to my school. Lol. Some of the teachers knew him and they showed us pictures of him and he has a really big head. Er...never mind. Lol.

I am kinda pissed off right now, because LiveJournal deleted my account for reasons unknown to me. Grrr... and I need that code thing and I don't have it. ( so sad. Yes. I know. Anyway, if you have a code thing that you want to give me *wink wink* I'm always open!

'Oh no.' Draco thought silently.

He closed his eyes.

She saw it.

Hermione stared, her mouth agape.

"Is that..." she stuttered.

Hermione couldn't think.

It was the bracelet.

"Draco...I..." she said slowly.

Draco couldn't bear it.

He opened his eyes.

"Yeah?"

Bright amber brown eyes met his own silver gray ones, and they stared at one another.

But her eyes filled with tears, and suddenly, without warning, she ran.

Draco did nothing to stop her. He just stared at her quickly retreating figure, and sighed.

'Should have known she would have done that.' He thought.

And Draco walked slowly back to Hogwarts by himself, all laughter that was in his eyes before, gone.

*~*

Hermione couldn't think.

No, it couldn't be.

But it was. She saw it with her own two eyes.

She wiped away tears from her face. She didn't know why she was crying.

She started running away from a shocked looking Draco Malfoy.

Hermione ran all the way back to Hogwarts, and ran all the way up to Gryffindor tower.

She was sobbing by now.

She ran up to the Girls' Dormitories and flung herself on her bed.

*~*

Hermione had finally stopped crying and was huddled under her blanket, shivering.

"Yes, oooohhh..that's very pretty.."

"Oh yes..."

Hermione could hear voices of the Gryffindors just come back from Hogsmeade after a fun-filled day.

She wiped at her now dry cheeks and pretended she was asleep.

"Yes, and did you see the look on Harry's face...?"

Lavender and Parvati burst through the door talking about their day.

Suddenly, their voices lowered into whispers and Hermione heard giggles coming from the two.

"Hermione." Lavender whispered in her ear. "Wake up."

Hermione just kept her eyes shut and prayed that her roommates would just go away.

"Hermione." Parvati was now shaking her.

She could do nothing else than to wake up, so she sighed and pulled down the covers from her face.

The two girls stared at her.

"What happened?" Lavender asked soothingly, sitting down on Hermione's left side while Parvati sat on Hermione's right.

"Tell us." Parvati said after she was quiet for a while.

"No, I don't..I don't think I want to...yet." Hermione whispered.

Lavender and Parvati looked at each other in a way only best friends could.

"Ok."

"But you know we're here if you need us, right?" Lavender asked.

Hermione nodded.

Lavender and Parvati got up, looked once back, then walked out the door they walked in only moments before.

*~*

Draco walked in the Entrance Hall to Hogwarts just as dinner started.

He looked for Crabbe and Goyle at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall.

Crabbe and Goyle were talking animatedly to each other.

Well, if pointing at food, talking in gibberish, and grinning was called talking.

Draco went and sat by Goyle and looked down at his plate of food.

He didn't know why, but after Hermione ran away from him, he felt lonely.

He shook his head.

No.

Draco's hands curled up into fists under the table.

Suddenly, he was mad.

Malfoys should not be sad over stupid Muggles.

He stared at his plate of spaghetti.

There was a sudden noise and when he looked up, there came Potter, Weasley, and Granger through the door.

Draco glared at Hermione.

He suddenly lost the little appetite that he had before and stood up to go back to the Slytherin common room.

Two pairs of eyes watched him silently walk out the door.
