DiSCLAiMER: Well if I'd hadn't owned anything in the past 5 chapters, do you think I will own anything in the next one? NEGATIVE!
Last Chapter Summary: Draco gets sweet revenge and not only embarrasses Hermione in from on a teacher but also evens the playing field while Hermione declares her own personal war. Hermione also consents to going out with RON.
Author's Note: I was reading some reviews ( =D ) and I noted a particularly long one from Scarlet. Now firstly I would like to thank you for giving me constructive criticism, lord know I need it! I know that it is true that I didn't have to physically alter Hermione at all, but for later plot development I find it necessary. Also, after her heartbreak with Krum, she feels she has to move on therefore hanging out with friends like that definitely changes her. I'm really not trying to demean curly hair or anything like that. I just thought it would be better so she would be unrecognizable to Malfoy in the later of that chapter, so the personal feud between the two could intensify. I will take up your idea of going to for the later chapters. For me sort of "Americanizing" the characters, it's a bad habit because I've always imagined Hermione and her friends in place of my friends and how they relate. Some of their sayings would be the same and some catch phrases that my friends would say had found their way into Hermione's or Draco's mouth. So all in all, I would just like to thank you for your review and for helping me better the story! :D hehe. Okay so I'm done writing about that review. And I would like to encourage anything else that anyone has to say. If you don't like a particular part in the story, or if you don't understand why I did something, please review and tell me. I'm not making any promises that I will change it, but it's always good to know so maybe I WILL change it or use your criticism for future stories. So0o0o0o00o, in this chapter... eh, just read it!
Post script: sorry about the long author's note lol
You'll Have to Stay a Memory
News of the new couple spread through the train like a forest fire. By the time that they all arrived at Hogwarts, people were gawking at Hermione and Ron holding hands. It was lightly drizzling. Hermione was always one to overanalyze things, 'I hope that isn't a sign of foreboding' she silently wished as she looked over at Ron. He smiled at her warmly.
Everything that Ron has been dreaming of for the past 2 months have come true. Everything on the train went perfect. Hermione had said yes. He was now with the girl that he loved. Sure, he had been sappy, the words had sounded much better in his head. He had also been very straightforward (encountering very few swerves), it was just that he had been waiting since 4th year to tell her how much he cared about her. Everything came pouring out of him in his jumbled excitement. He had even skipped the parts about the love letters he had written to her stashed away at the bottom of his trunk. As he thought better of it, he presumed that it might be better to leave those till later on in their relationship. He had even told her that he loved her. 'It's too bad that the train had stopped as she was about to say it back,' He thought grimly to himself. As if on cue, the train had stopped as Hermione was responding. The lights went dead and a deathly silence surrounded the train.
"Why does this remind me of something," Hermione had began, her eyes scanning the window to see if anything was moving outside.
"Dementors are not boarding the train, Hermione," Ron tried to comfort her, "you have nothing to worry about."
She just looked at him doubtfully. The lights flickered on and off and she jumped into him. He wrapped his arms around her in an attempt to calm her down. He smiled to himself as he felt he was playing the 'boyfriend' role.
It had turned out to be just a problem with one of the circuit wires and the train had to be stopped to repair the problem.
They met Harry, Ginny, and Neville by a horseless carriage waiting for them just a bit further off the train.
"Hello, Hermione, Ron," Neville began as he saw them approaching, "so it is true! Honestly, it's about time!"
Ron grinned at him and Hermione politely smiled.
The 5 got into the carriage and within minutes Hermione was gazing out the window to the breathtaking view of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The drizzling had stopped and the sun had come out, creating a faint rainbow that ran over the north tower (a/n: cheesy, I know). Hermione smiled, it was bittersweet that it was going to be her last year here. She vowed to make the most of it.
'No regrets, Hermione,' she spoke to herself in her head, 'the world doesn't give second chances.'
(a/n: this is the 1st time I did one of these!)
(a/n: I was talking about the line of stars that I made up above hehehe )
Hermione shook her hair a bit, trying to get some of the rain drops that had rested on her. "Damn capillarity," she mumbled to herself.
Ron was entering the front doors, grabbing Hermione's hand as he went along. He looked around the entrance hall to see if anything had changed, of course nothing had. He gave the hall an appreciative look before glancing quickly at Hermione and then back at the walls around him, his smile broadened.
They saw people starting to enter into the Great Hall for the start-of-term banquet.
"Come, Ron," Hermione said as she was pulling him towards the Great Hall, "I don't want to miss the feast!"
Ron simply smiled at her as he took her hand. They entered the Great Hall together and found that almost everyone had their eyes upon their faces and then on their intertwined hands. They had to confirm for themselves. Hermione found her eyes unconsciously looking around the room for someone at the Slytherin table. She found him, he had looked up with the other students to see the new couple arrive. Hermione's and Draco's eyes locked. Gray-ish blue eyes. Cold yet inviting. Hermione stopped dead. The dream she was awoken out of on August 29th rushed into her head like she was standing under the Niagra Falls (a massive waterfall in the States).
A boy with blonde hair. Not brown, no highlights. She was entered her dream to find herself wearing a white gown, suspended in midair. For a fleeting second she thought she was flying without the assistance of a broomstick. Little did she know...
Flashback
She was falling. She was high up in the air, way above the clouds. She had even considered that she had died and gone to heaven and was now an angel sleeping on the clouds. That is... until she fell through one of them. She found herself trying to scream but no sound came out. Her ears were ringing with the sounds of air rushing past her at an alarmingly fast rate. Her eyes were stinging with the cold. The sun found its way from behind the clouds and suddenly illuminated the scene around her. It was a breathtaking view and made her almost forget the fact that she was plunging down into the earth to an inevitable death. She flipped herself over in the air so that she was right side up. She let herself lay back on wind, nothing to support her. She closed her eyes and felt the gravity pulling her faster and faster towards the ground. She had stopped attempting to scream, she felt her whole life flash before her eyes before her memories rested on a pair of gray-ish blue eyes. A face was materializing around it. Draco Malfoy appeared, his eyes had a look of concern. Hermione was close to the ground now, she could feel it. Within seconds, she would experience death. At least she would then be with her Nana, she thought vaguely, before her memories shifted towards the image of Draco Malfoy again.
'3... 2... 1.' She thought, counting down to her death.
She felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her and she gasped for air and snapped her eyes open.
"Don't do that ever again," Draco said, "I thought you were a goner for sure."
End Flashback
"Hermione," she heard a faint voice from somewhere, "Hermoine!"
"Huh...?" she had asked. She slowly opened her eyes to find that she was on the floor and most of the school was conjugated around her, "What... what happened?"
"You fainted," Ron explained, offering a hand to help her up.
She got up herself, not bothering to take his outstretched hand.
"I... I need to eat," Hermione said. The rest of the conjugated students looked at each other and began to find their ways back to their own house tables.
"Hermione, I really think you should go to the hospital wing, you--"
She cut him off, "I'm fine, Ron, really I am. I just hadn't eaten."
He gave her a look and began walking to the Gryffindor house table. Hermione gave Malfoy one last searching look before following Ron. Draco's face was unreadable.
Ending Author's Note: I know that I could just say a/n but I like to be more formal with things :D heh heh. So I know that a lot of you are wishing for a HGDM ending. I'm not saying it's going to end up like that, I really have no idea what's going to happen with my story. I have a very vague idea of the main plot but the ending... we'll just have to see how the story develops. SORRY IF I AM GOING TO DISAPPOINT ANYONE!
