A/N: Yay! Another somewhat quick update! I'm lucky I got to post this one tonight b/c I had TONS of homework and my parents wouldn't leave me alone…but luckily it's up so I'm hoping for all good reviews for what I went through tonight to post this! I was going to cut to the ending but then decided against it since you guys seem to like this fic so much…I'm not sure where I'm taking it anymore but I have a pretty good idea so tell me what you think! Thanks to all reviewers! Here ya go!
Last Time on WTF!?…
"Why do you keep putting these ridiculous ideas of loving you in my head? And when did you start to ask such forward questions?" Draco asked.
"Listen to yourself, why do I keep putting these ideas of love in your head? Because I know you love me. My proof is right here. You obviously have been paying close attention to me over the years for you to know how I act so again, why didn't you ever tell me?" Hermione asked again.
Draco stared at her amazed.
"Why are you still hiding the truth? I've already confessed that I love you and you can see it in my eyes so what's to hide? You came here with me everyone knows something's going on. What are you afraid of?" Hermione asked.
Draco stared at her and then let her go and left the Great Hall.
Hermione frowned as she watched him leave.
Now on WTF!?…
IN THE MUGGLE WORLD…
Ginny sighed as she reached up and rang the doorbell.
Immediately Draco swung the door open.
"Hey Ginny." He said politely.
"Where's Harry?" She asked crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes.
Draco sighed and moved aside so that the door opened further revealing Harry.
"Hey gorgeous." Harry said nervously.
Ginny stormed up to him.
"What's wrong with you? Hanging up on me just because you want some information?" Ginny yelled angrily as she placed her hands on her hips and glared up at her boyfriend.
Harry put his hands up in his defense.
"I'm sorry Gin…I was just trying to help Draco…I mean…look at him!" Harry said gesturing to Draco.
Ginny turned to Draco who looked shocked.
"Uh…yea…I swear Ginny he was only trying to help me out." Draco said nervously.
Ginny rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Where's your phone. I told Hermione I'd call her from here." Ginny said while walking into the living room and picking up the phone.
"Way to go, what are you trying to do? Get me in trouble with your woman?" Draco asked angrily.
Harry slouched.
"Sorry, I panicked. Nice cover though. Thanks." Harry mumbled sheepishly.
Draco nodded and they headed into the living room.
"Hey is Hermione there?" Ginny was asking.
"Hey, I'm here." Ginny continued as she glanced over at the guys who looked to one another and then back at Ginny questioningly.
Ginny rolled her eyes and sat down on the coffee table.
"What do I say? I don't really know anything." Ginny said.
"Ask her why she isn't talking to me." Draco spoke up.
"Draco wants to know…hold on." Ginny pressed a button and then set down the phone.
"Hermione, you are now on speaker phone." Ginny said in a singsong voice.
Hermione laughed lightly.
"Why won't you talk to me?" Draco asked getting slightly irritated.
Hermione instantly stopped laughing.
"Listen, Draco, I can't explain why I've been so different lately but what I can tell you is that I don't know how long I'm going to be like this. What I'm trying to say is that I don't think we should be together." Hermione finished.
Draco stared at the machine in shock.
Ginny and Harry looked very similar.
Draco suddenly ran to the machine and picked up the phone.
"What? You can't be serious! Hermione, listen to me. I love you. Why are you being like this?" Draco asked hysterically.
Hermione didn't really know what to say to this.
"I'm sorry…I wish I could explain but I'm not your Hermione ok?" Hermione said.
"No, no it's not ok Hermione! Just tell me what's wrong. If it's the fight I swear I'll never do it again. Please just give me another chance." Draco said while pacing the room.
"Why is this so hard?" Hermione thought to herself as she paced back and forth as well.
"I don't even like him!" She thought as she fell onto her bed.
"Hermione?" Draco whispered.
"Please…" He spoke softly.
"Let me talk to her." Ginny said finally able to regain her control.
Draco reluctantly handed Ginny the phone and continued to pace.
"Hermione?" Ginny asked.
"Am I on speaker phone?" Hermione asked.
"No." Ginny answered.
"Why is this so hard Ginny?" Hermione asked as she stood back up.
"He's…he's Malfoy, my enemy…" Hermione began stressfully.
"Maybe, you like him." Ginny shrugged.
Draco gave Ginny a confused look but continued to pace.
"You don't understand! He's EVIL! He's a snot nosed little…brat! He has NO heart and…he's…Malfoy! All those years of torment I went through and he picked on Harry just…urg! He hated us just for who we were! How do you get over that!?" Hermione asked emotionally stressed.
"He's different here…if you just give him a chance…" Ginny began.
"No, if I give him a chance it means I give up hope…and…I can't do that. Harry and Ron will come for me and Dumbledore will find a way to get me home. They've never given up hope and neither will I." Hermione finished.
Ginny sighed.
"If you think that's the right thing to do then ok." Ginny said sadly.
"I'm really sorry." Hermione mumbled.
"I didn't think it would…I didn't think it would be this hard to let him go…but you have to understand, I don't even know him." Hermione added.
Ginny nodded although Hermione could not see her.
"You may know him better than you think you do." Ginny mumbled.
"I'm sorry." Hermione said before hanging up the phone.
IN THE WIZARDING WORLD…
Hermione sighed sadly as the doors to the Great Hall closed behind Draco.
Harry, Ron, Lavendar and Cho came up to her then.
"What happened?" Harry asked sympathetically.
"Was he being a…" Ron began angrily.
"Ronald, stop it. I made him upset just…stop it alright?" With that Hermione followed Draco's footsteps and left the Great Hall.
Once outside she looked around and was about to walk down the corridor when a voice stopped her.
"What's the point of all this?" Hermione spun around and found Draco sitting on the floor with his back against the wall and his head bowed to the ground.
Hermione walked up to him and crouched down in front of him.
"You know the answer to that." Hermione began.
Draco looked up at her.
"Stop it alright? Just stop. You're not my bloody mentor so quit with the calm tone like you know exactly what I'm going through." Draco said harshly.
Hermione put a hand to his face and he quickly brushed it away.
"I don't love you Granger…" Draco said looking away from her.
Hermione ignored his protest and turned his face back to her own.
"You don't? Or you can't?" Hermione asked seriously.
Draco stared deep into her chocolate eyes. They had always held mystery and defiance but tonight…somehow they were different. There was no spark. She wasn't insulted, he couldn't get a rise out of her and he hated it! She was supposed to be mad! Upset! Hurt! Something other than calm! Calm did not describe Hermione Granger! She was full of tactics and smarts…but in his eyes she was always strong. Never showing him any emotion. Especially the emotions that rose into her eyes these past few days.
She would never let him know even if it were true.
"How can you think that after she's confessed?" Draco thought to himself.
Draco turned away from her suddenly not able to answer her questions or even his own.
Hermione bowed her head down.
"I won't listen to this anymore." Draco said suddenly making up his mind.
"You can finish the dance on your own and I never want to talk to you again got it Granger?" Draco sneered.
Hermione looked deep into his eyes with more hurt than he even knew she could possess.
She slowly opened her mouth to speak but then got up quickly and left.
Draco stared at her departing figure and scowled.
When she was out of sight his features softened into a sad smile.
"If I don't love her…why do I care if I hurt her?" He whispered into the corridor where his words were swallowed by the darkness.
IN THE MUGGLE WORLD…
Ginny slowly hung up the phone and turned to Draco with a sad smile as he stopped pacing and stood staring at her as if she held the death sentence.
"I'm…I'm sorry Draco." Ginny said with tears brimming her eyes.
It was not only the fact that Hermione was giving up on one of her best and truest friends but that she might never see her best friend again.
It was as if Hermione Granger had died.
Draco bowed his head to the floor and stared blankly at the carpet.
"Why? What did I do?" Draco asked still not looking at her.
Ginny frowned.
"I know you'd never believe me if I told you it wasn't you…" Ginny said slowly.
"But?" Draco asked still finding the carpet much more interesting.
"But…Hermione's just not herself. You still have time to win her heart back and maybe…maybe in some time…she'll be her…her old self…again." Ginny said between sobs before she broke down in tears.
"Ginny what's wrong?" Harry asked getting up to comfort her.
"I'm sorry, I'm…I'm just emotional, I'll see you guys later." With that Ginny quickly left the room and walked out the front door.
"There's something weird going on." Harry said turning to Draco suspiciously.
Draco looked up at his friend sadly.
Harry frowned.
"Listen, Ginny's right, you can still win her back." Harry tried.
"How? I don't even know what I did wrong." Draco said dramatically.
Harry sighed.
"Draco, you're going to have to pull yourself together for me man, we're gonna get your girl back." Harry said pounding his fist into his hand.
"Here's the plan." Harry said sitting down by his friend as Draco looked on curiously.
YAY reviewers! I hope you like this chapter because even though it's sort of sad I had a lot of fun writing it for some odd twisted reason…idk but I hope you like it! Lol R&R and thanks to all reviewers! Oh and I'm working on the update for The Hell I Live In and still waiting for more reviews on The Last Chance before I update that one…just so you all know lol.

SwTnDrEaMyPnAy03- Since these reviews are so long I say that this should be the only fic that they are this long..lol. Better yet what's your e-mail? Lol. Always good to hear from you let me tell ya! I've had a pretty good day today which for once is surprisingly good. I'm tired and as soon as I post this I'm going to bed to dream about..well I don't know what but a dream is a dream so I'm looking forward to it lol. I was so excited about reading your review (since I knew you'd leave one) that I read it during my lunch period today during school lol. I looked pretty stupid laughing there in the library but you're well worth it lol. Yes we're even…both sweet as sugar! Mmm lol. You're so inspirational! You'd be great at writing speeches no wonder you're the smartest! Oo now that's something that ALWAYS does the trick…SHOPPING! Some times I just get in that mood and I would love to buy an entire store! Although when I shop it's usually not clothes I'm after…I go to Suncoast and buy like tons of movies and watch them for hours until an idea pops into my head and I just have to write my fics…odd I know but oh well lol. Those outfits sound cute though. Pink is a big color this year…which is good because it looks good on just about anyone…if you get the right shade…anyway, not that I'm a fashion expert either lol. I know what you mean with fake smiles omg! All my old photos are like that! My face looks so fake it's like you ask yourself "did I really think that looks like a smile?" lol. Aww that's sad…at least you and your b/f are good now. I used to be such a cry baby so I think I wasted all my tears on the pointless stuff like losing homework and teachers asking me a question…see what I mean? Lol.
