A/N: Sorry for the long wait guys. I really tried to update before today but things have been really crazy on my end. I am so sorry and hope you guys forgive me. This extra time did give me a head start in writing more chapters so I should be updating quicker. Here is chapter 6.
Chapter: A trip to remember
"So you can't go to Hogsmeade today?"
Ron shook his head. "Too sick!"
"Aw that's too bad mate."
Ron blew his nose.
"Well, get well soon. We need our keeper at the next match."
Ron smiled.
Harry looked at the table clock sitting next to Ron's bed on his bedside table.
"I gotta go. Get some rest."
Ron smiled.
Harry went out the door.
As he went down to the common room he saw Hermione.

I saw Harry come down the stairs. He wore a gray t-shirt with a black jacket over it with a pair of dark blue jeans. He looked very nice.
He saw me and quickly turned his head. My heart hurt as I saw him walk away from me.
I picked up my purse and jacket and followed him out of the common room. I wanted to say something to him but when I opened my mouth, nothing came out.
I saw Draco come toward me. He smiled as he got closer and closer. I looked over at Harry as he talked to Cho. I hung my head.
"What's wrong 'mione?" Draco whispered in my ear.
"Don't call me 'mione." I whispered.
"What?" Draco pulled back from my ear.
"Don't call me 'mione." I responded.
"Okay." Draco then put his arm around my waist. His eyes went toward Pansy who was in the arms of a 7th year Slytherin boy. He rolled his eyes then looked back at me.
"What do you want to do today?" I asked him sweetly. I wonder if he could hear the sarcasm in my voice….
"I don't know, do you have anything on your mind?"
"No, I guess we will think of stuff as the day goes on." I'm not nervous. I am not nervous…
"Sounds good." I noticed him smile. He then leaned over and kissed me on the cheek.
"Students, it is time to go. I want you to have a good time but don't get into trouble." Proffesor McGonagal raised her thin eyebrow. "Have fun."
The students began walking out the gate.
Ironically Draco and I ended up walking behind Harry and Cho. Cho looked behind her and saw me. She quickly moved closer to Harry and placed her left hand in his back pocket.
I was furious.
Draco picked up on this and held me closer to him.
I ran my fingers through my hair.
Why is Harry back with Cho? Is it to get back at me? Wait…why would he need to get back at me? He doesn't know I like him…does he?
We continued walking and I thought about Cho the whole way.

We stopped at Honeydukes and we bought a bag of candy to share. For some reason I could not eat any. Draco grabbed my hand and pulled me out onto the street. He placed one hand on my hip and the other on the side of my face. What if Harry was right? What if he has other plans for me? I bit my lip and looked at him.
"You are so beautiful Hermione, I do not know why you hang out with Potter, you are so much better than that." He whispered in my ear.
"I hang out with Harry because he is my best friend, along with Ron."
"But you are better than them." He began to kiss my neck.
I pushed him off. "That is not true. Harry is my best friend and I will not sit here and listen to you talk about my best friends."
"I am sorry babe."
"Don't call me babe." I said through my teeth.
"Okay, fine."
"I choose my best friends, you don't."
"I never said I would choose your best friends."
I did not listen and stormed off.
"Hermione, wait!"

Harry and Cho had walked out of Honeydukes as Malfoy fought with Hermione. He heard every comment she said and smiled.
She listened to me after all.
"Harry?"
Harry turned around to Cho who was looking in her wallet. "Yes."
"I wanted to go shopping but I don't have enough money, can I borrow some? I promise I will pay you back."
Harry dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out some wizard money, counted it and then handed it to her.
"Oh thank you Harry." She leaned over and kissed him.
She grabbed his hand and led him to one of the neighboring shops.
- - -
Draco put his arms around me. "So what do you want to do?"
"Wanna go shopping?" Don't leave him any openings…
"Sure, if that is what you want to do."
I smiled and began walking toward a shop.
Malfoy rolled his eyes and gagged before following me.
- - -
I wanna get out of here. To think, here I am with Granger, in a store, in Hogsmead. I can't stand this any longer. Pretending to like the mudblood. The only thing she has going for is her looks. I have to admit she is pretty, she has a nice body too. But, I cant stand her, she is not good enough for a Malfoy. I am now starting to wish I never planned this because look at all the trouble it got me into. Note to self: don't this ever again. Argh…being nice is sickening to me, I am never nice…I must remember that Hermione was my way into the common room so I could spy on him. All of this trouble for Lord Voldermort. Why me? I hope I am ready for this.
He looked up and saw her looking at him through the shop window. She motioned for him to come in. A large smiled plastered on her face.
I can feel myself going sick. Goody two shoes wants to talk to me.
He looked down at his watch and walked into the shop.

"Why were you standing outside?" I asked him sweetly. God, this is getting annoying…
"I just remembered something that I have to do."
"What do you have to do?" I batted me eyes. Man this is really low…who bats their eyes anymore?
"I have to mail something to my father. I will be right back I promise I won't be long."
"I'll go with you." Mail a letter…right. Does he expect me to believe that?
"No it's ok, here have some extra money." He handed me some money. "Now you can continue shopping for new quills. I will only be a few minutes."
"All right." I took the money and put it in my pocket. WooHoo! I got some extra cash!
Draco then turned around and walked back out the door.
After a few minutes I left also and I went in the direction he went.
