A/N: hey guys! Sorry it's been so long but it was our fall break last week and we were both going to different places to visit family and stuff so we didn't have time. Thanks for the reviews and here comes the long awaited chapter 5! We hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 5- The Carnival

"Malfoy it looks great!" Hermione squealed.

"I know we did a good job…..we make a great team" Draco said smiling at her.

Just then a stampede of 1st years came running into the park which was full of game booths and rides.

"Calm down! Attention please!" Hermione yelled above the uproar.

"we have a carousel, a Ferris wheel, we have a sizzler and a new ride the tornado, we also have basket ball booth, a dart booth, the marriage booth, and the dunking booth" Hermione finished

"What's the marriage booth?" an annoying littler girl that reminded Hermione of Pansy said raising her hand.

"Well follow us and we'll show you" Hermione said Draco following her.

They walked to a booth and saw a stool with the sorting hat on top of it.

" You sit in this chair and put the sorting hat on, then it will yell the name of the person you are meant to marry in the future, that person may not be here you may not have met them yet" Hermione explained

"Well why don't you show us" the same annoying girl said with a major attitude.

"Well ok, but that guy might not be here" Hermione said she picked up the sorting hat and sat on the stool. Then she put the hat on her head a little eager to know who she was supposed to marry.

"Hmmm….I see a person that you have a past with…a person you didn't get along with…I see no one else in your future but….DRACO MALFOY!!" the sorting hat screamed and Hermione's eyes got huge. She couldn't believe it was Draco. Hermione looked over at Draco who was standing only 5 feet away his jaw was down to his feet and he had the most shocked look on his face. Then it turned into a smirk.

"It was only a matter of time Granger" Draco said walking past her towards the cardboard church where Lupin was waiting to marry the couples. As they walked up to him he had a surprised look on his face.

"Well well I wasn't expecting to see you two here" Lupin said grinning.

Draco looked as if he would deck him "Draco we're supposed to set an example for the kids" Hermione reminded him. They said the traditional wedding vowels then lupin paused a minute before saying you may now kiss the bride. Draco just stood there a moment then bent down and kissed Hermione sweetly on the cheek.

"Your supposed to kiss on the lips!" the same little girl shouted. Not knowing what to do Draco kissed Hermione. Memories of the past came flooding back for Hermione and it was as if nothing had changed. Draco couldn't wait to kiss her again.

"EEEEWWWWW!!!!" they heard the little kids shouting and that was their cue to stop.

They pulled away from each other staring into each others eyes not knowing what to say until Hermione broke the stare.

"Ok now if you want to you can stay here or you can go do what you want, have fun!" Hermione said, she turned around to see Draco still staring at her.

"Come on you have to go and supervise we have to split up" Hermione said avoiding talking about the kiss.

Draco started walking around the carnival watching the kids playing games when he made it to the dunking booth which Jordan Hermione's boyfriend was in. The kids couldn't seem to hit the target so Draco paid for one ball he knew he could sink him.

"Draco please don't sink me I've got a cold" Jordan pleaded.

"Sorry buddy but Hogwarts has got to make some money" Draco said gripping the ball tightly. He used all the anger he had towards him and threw the ball as hard as he could and hit the target. Jordan went falling into the cold water then floated back up. He kind of gave Draco and evil look but he was happy with himself.

Draco went walking some more when he saw Hermione and Ginny.

"Come on Hermione lets ride the carousal" Ginny said pulling Hermione towards it.

"No we're to old for that" Hermione said.

"Please, please, please!" Ginny kept saying over and over until Hermione finally said yes.

"I'll get on but I'm not sitting on a horse" Hermione said getting on the ride.

But Ginny kept pestering her to get on the horse.

"I can't believe I'm sitting on a horse on a carousal" Hermione said over and over.

The carousal had 20 horses on it all decorated uniquely there were small round mirrors surrounded by lights. Soon the ride got going and Hermione was laughing and having fun for the first time in a while. Draco thought he had never seen Hermione look so beautiful.

Hermione got off vowing never to do that again and she went supervising the carnival when she saw Jordan.

"I'm so sick" he said and he looked horrible.

"You need to go home…I'll see you when I get back, just go talk to Dumbledore he'll arrange everything" Hermione said feeling bad for him. He moved in to kiss her but she pushed away she didn't want to kiss him, in fact they hadn't even had their first kiss yet.

"Umm your sick I don't want to get anything, I'll just see you when I get back" Hermione said and gave him a hug then walked off.

She was back at the marriage booth and was watching a little girl with brown hair and eyes about to find out who she would marry. The sorting hat yelled out the name of a blonde haired boy. Both of the kids made sour faces and started yelling "I hate her!" "I hate him we aren't getting married!" she just smiled; it reminded her of Draco and herself.

'Was it true? Were they really meant to be? After all the heartache they had caused each other?' she thought to herself.

"Hey" she heard Draco say from behind her.

"Umm… Dumbledore say's that Harry and Ron are going to take over so that we can go to sleep it's getting late" Draco said pointing at his watch.

"Oh, ok" Hermione said walking with him.

"Soo…..about earlier tonight" Draco said after a short silence when they were alone.

"Yes?" Hermione said wanting to know his feelings about it.

"I don't know how you felt about it but after I kissed you it made me want to kiss you again….you see there's something I've been wanting to tell you but it seemed like I always got interrupted. The reason I came here is because of you….I wanted to tell you that me and Brittany are over, there is nothing left between us. You said that if we were meant to be that I would find you….well I found you" Draco said these things with so much meaning, and it was real he meant every word of it.

This was a lot to take in, in one way Hermione was glad that he felt the way she did but in another she was angry.

"What do you mean you and Brittany are over?" Hermione asked stopping in front of the castle to look into Draco's eyes.

"What I said we're over, she just didn't mean anything to me" Draco said looking confused.

"So her kiss didn't mean anything to you?" Hermione asked.

"No it didn't" Draco said telling the truth.

"You can't just kiss someone and it not mean anything Draco" Hermione said, she just didn't understand how he could be saying this.

"Yes you can" Draco shouted back, not much of retaliation.

"I never had to test my feelings about you…I always knew that I loved you" Hermione started softly.

"Draco I can forgive you for lying to me in our 6th year, and I can forgive you for not telling me about her and shutting me out, but the fact that you had to see her to test how you felt about me….I don't forgive you for that Draco" Hermione finished.

"No! You told me to see her Hermione! You told me to see how I felt!" Draco shouted waving his arms in the air.

Hermione walked over to him and hugged him, she hated to see him like this, and she had to calm him down.

"And you listened" she said pulling away from him and looking in his eyes. Then she walked into the castle to her dormitory leaving a very shocked and sad Draco behind.
