Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, just wanted to write a fic 'bout it…please don't flame me. Anyway…this is the sequel to the CHRISTMAS STORY. I think this story is only until chapter 2 coz this was supposed to be a one shot but since the chapter was too short I'd continue it until the part where Wood graduates.

Summary: It was another dayfor Hermione to face. Draco's starting to make fun of her. But at least now…he's there for her.

Final Chapter

8-8-8-8-8-8

Hermione opened the door of the Transfiguration classroom "You're the earliest Ms. Granger," McGonagall said with a smile.

Hermione smiled and sat down on their usual seat "Good morning, Professor McGonagall," she greeted politely.

McGonagall smiled once more "A lot of students think Oliver and you have something for each other," McGonagall fell serious "If you know what I mean, Ms. Granger."

Hermione nodded "Yes I know what you mean by that, Professor McGonagall," she once more answered politely.

"Haven't you heard about the rumor?" she asked looking at the young lady in front of her.

Hermione looked at the ground "What rumor, professor?" Hermione asked but she was feeling very nervous about the answer.

McGonagall sighed "About you using Wood to defend you against Mr. Malfoy."

Hermione looked at McGonagall "But I'm not using him," she replied "Who ever told you that?"

McGonagall fixed her robes "A lot of students are talking about it, Ms. Granger,"

Hermione bit her lower lip "Did Malfoy spread this again?"

McGonagall shrugged lightly "It could possibly be another person, Ms. Granger."

She then fixed her position "If I tell you Wood and I are having something else for each other…would you disagree with it?" Hermione asked nervously.

McGonagall nodded lightly "Yes because of the age gap and because Mr. Wood is up to an arranged marraige with Ms Jones."

Hermione's eyes widened "Engaged?" she asked.

McGonagall nodded again "Yes, I has been apprvoed by both families."

"Was it ever Wood's decision?" she asked politely.

McGonagall shook her head "That has been the biggest problem...he didn't want to marry her since he told us that he loved someone, a muggle that is."

Hermione closed her eyes for a moment "I understand," Hermione then said.

McGonagall tapped Hermione's shoulder "That's why I never wanted you to fall for Mr. Wood because I don't want you ending up getting hurt."

Hermione smiled "Thanks, professor."

After classes, Hermione entered the common room. She was shocked and at the same time hurt about what McGonagall had informed her. "Hermione, I've been waiting for you," Oliver stood up. "What's wrong?" he asked looking at the girl he had always loved.

Hermione looked up on him and sobbed "Why didn't you tell me?" Hermione asked.

Oliver looked so puzzled with what Hermione said "What do you mean?" he asked.

"What do I mean? No Wood…let me ask you that question!? What do you mean by you love me?!" Hermione asked angrily.

Oliver stroked Hermione hair "I love you…isn't that clear for you?"

Hermione pulled away "You don't really love me! You love her." Hermione snapped.

Oliver stepped forward "Hermione, please let me explain."

Hermione shook her head "No...I've heard enough." She said then walked out of the common room.

Oliver sighed and closed his eyes "So now you know," he whispered.

It was the night of Wood's wedding at Howagrts, Hermione sat on her bed with tears in her eyes. She never knew how love could really scar someone's heart. She thought love will always bring them to happy ending.

"Hermione," someone called her name.

Hermione looked by the door and saw Ginny, a good firned of her. "Ginny," she muttered.

Ginny smiled and walked towards her "He wanted me to give this to you," Ginny handed a velvet box to Hermione and smiled once more "I have to go see my bro." She left.

Hermione looked at the box and opened it slightly. There she saw a necklace, it was a gift from her love. Not like she wanted that kind of gift anyway. She opened it and stared at it. It was time for her to go back to the muggle world and have her summer there.

As she carried her bags out of the Hogwarts main gate. She saw someone standing by the pole. She tried to ignore him "Did you like it?" he asked softly.

Hermione stopped and dropped her bags "What are you doing here?" she asked "You're supposed to be inside, Wood."

Oliver smiled and walked to Hermione "I declined to the wedding,"

Hermione cocked a brow "So that's why Angelina was crying?" she asked.

Oliver noded lightly "She wasn't the bride I wanted,"

Hermione smiled slightly "Who's the bride then?"

"You," Oliver said then carried her "Didn't I tell you I'll always be here for you."

Hermione bit her lower lip "Yeah,"

"True love never lives happily ever after," he started.

Hermione frowned and kept staring at her sweet heart.

"After all, ture love has no ending," Oliver smiled and carried Hermione to his carraige near by.
