Chapter three: Meeting
Days had passed and Hermione couldn't think of any reason to stop the engagement. Atasha was always at her side to comfort her when she had been crying. All of the servants of the palace were busy for Hermione's birthday and for the visit of the King and Queen of Slytherin and their son. Hermione almost forgot about Michael. One day she sneaked out of the palace and met with him.
* Flashback*
Hermione went to their meeting place. She saw Michael sitting on the fountain. Michael looked up when he heard some footsteps coming from the alley.
" Hermione!" Michael stood up and walked towards her.
" Sorry for being late."
" It's okay." Michael sat and mention to the space beside him. Hermione sat next to him and place her head in his shoulder. 'I have to say this now' Hermione thought.
" Michael I have to say something to you." Hermione looked up and gaze at his eyes closely. Michael, seeing Hermione so serious nodded his head. " What is it?"
" Umh. I'm betrothed to someone whose name is Prince Draco Malfoy." Hermione said slowly hoping that he would understand.
" Oh! I knew this would come knowing that you are a princess but I've already planned for that." Michael said understandingly.
" What's your plan then?" Hermione asked curiously. At first she was shocked because he's taking it slightly.
" First answer this question seriously." Hermione nodded.
" Is it okay with you to be with him for all of your life? Do you think you will fall for him?" Michael asked staring at her brown eyes.
" Of course not! I will not fall for him. Never! Over my dead body! The truth is I don't want this engagement thing. All I want is to be with you." Hermione said furiously.
" I'm glad you said that. Now my plan is really simple. Even though your engaged to him promise me that you will always come back to me." Michael said sincerely.
Hermione nodded " I promise. I will not replace you for him. With all my heart."
* End of Flashback*
Hermione sighed. Tomorrow shall be the day she and the prince will meet and not to mention her birthday too. ' What a birthday present' she thought sarcastically.
Draco, Harry and Ron were sitting at the garden taking their breakfast. Harry and Ron were also going to the Gryffindor because of Draco's demand.
" So are you excited to see your princess?" Ron teased.
" In your dreams. I don't want to see her ugly face. I bet she's hideous, unattractive, clumsy and a ditz." Draco said mockingly.
" Why would you say that? And why would your parents paired you to her if she's like you said?" Harry asked.
" Well because that's what I dreamed of." Draco remembered his nightmare. His dream was very scary. He dreamt of her face that was like a monster. She chased him everywhere he goes, hugged him always, and won't let go of his arms. Draco shivered.
" You know that sometimes what you dream is the exact opposite of it." Harry said logically.
" Yeah right. Whatever." Draco said rolling his eyes. He doesn't have a clue on why he, Harry and Ron were friends. They have different attitude, taste and they were the exact opposite of each other.
Harry is the genius, serious, peacemaker brat while Ron is known for his temper, funny jokes, and his greediness for food. And him, he's known for his good looks well all of three of them were good looking. He's also known for his great body, appeals on girls, and annoying attitude.
" Come on let's go. We should prepare for tomorrow and I need my beauty sleep." Draco said then stood up.
" So you want to look good in front of your princess?" Ron teased.
" No. Not only for her but to all the girls in the palace." Draco smirked. He could imagine now the girls swooning faces.
Next day.
Hermione was in a state of nervousness. She kept pacing around her room for an hour. Atasha shook her head at Hermione. She watched her from the moment she woke up." If you kept pacing around there I promise I will get a headache."
" I can't I'm so nervous! What if he's an annoying jerk? I can't stand that!" Hermione shouted loudly.
" As if you're not!"
" What!"
" Well it's because you're acting like it."
" How dare you said that to me! I'm your princess you should respect me."
" Hermione just relax. It's your birthday today you should enjoy yourself. You're tantrum will not help solve any of your problem." Atasha said
Hermione sighed, " You're right. Sorry about that."
"It's okay I understand you. You should change now or you'll be late. You're the celebrant and it's important for you to be there."
Hermione nodded and walked towards the bathroom.
Draco, Harry, and Ron were on their way to the Gryffindor Kingdom. The King and Queen were on a different carriage.
" How long till we arrive there?" Harry asked.
" Don't know," Draco lamely said looking outside the window.
" I've read something about the Gryffindor. It says that when you feel suddenly warm it means that we're close to their territory." Harry said.
" Why is that?" Ron asked curiously.
Harry shrugged " I don't know but the book said something about their warm and affectionate heart."
Ron closed his eyes feeling sleepy because of their journey. They left last night because Gryffindor is very far from the Slytherin and it was already morning. Then all of a sudden all of them felt slightly warm.
Draco grinned " Well were close."
When they arrived at the palace. The King and Queen of Gryffindor greeted them courteously. " Welcome to Gryffindor." Queen Melissa greeted them all warmly. After they introduce their selves the King explained to them that the schedule had change. The ball will start in the evening so they can rest for a while. Ron was happy because he wants to sleep and rest before going to the ball.
"Now, if you will follow my servants, they will show you to your rooms and fill you in on the ball tonight. If you'll excuse us?" Queen Melissa said.
They all followed the servants to their respected room. When Draco, Harry and Ron found their rooms they all entered inside. When Harry and Ron entered their room they sleep at once. Draco not feeling tired went to explored the palace.
' Oh no! I'm sure they will get angry to me. I'm so late.' Hermione thought. She went to the square and met with Michael. Later that morning after she relaxed herself she received a letter from Snow, Michael's owl. It said that they should meet in their meeting place because Michael will give her, her birthday present.
Hermione smiled. Her arms went upward to grasp her necklace. It was Michael's birthday present for her. It was a locket that held his picture. So that if she was angry or lonely what she must to do is to look at his picture and it will be all gone. Hermione laughed at this but after a while thought that it would do.
Hermione ran fast to her room so that she can prepare immediately. When somebody bumped into her from her left. They both landed in the floor.
" Bloody hell!" the one who she bumps into said.
" I'm so sorry! I didn't saw you!" Hermione apologized.
" Then why didn't you look where you were going?"
" Because I'm in a hurry! I said I was sorry okay!" Hermione cried. 'How dare he! Didn't he know who I am!' she thought.
" Whatever! Make sure you don't do that again. Look at me I'm not presentable anymore. Thanks to you " He said sarcastically
" WHAT?!!!" Hermione couldn't believe he was treating her like this. Then Hermione suddenly remembered the ball. ' I should hurry!' she thought then ran fast again. She would make sure that that boy would get what he deserves.
