A/N WOW! Thanks for all the positive feedback! Keep those reviews comin' I'm updating Idol soon, I just need to find some better lyrics sites, so no fear, I'm still going to finish that one.

As to the "Granger twins" I've been having some difficulty writing it for the reason that due to recent events on my life, I'm not sure how I feel about continuing it. I'm probably going to though, I just need time to deal with some stuff. I should have not too many problems updating up till October of their seventh year (they're in November of their sixth right now) I just need to write a few difficult chapters. It will be not-too smooth sailing until jan-feb of sixth year, and it's hard to write! But an update is coming soon. FOR SURE after I finish Idol.

Anyway, back to the story!

Harry was sitting on his bed in Ron's room, miserable after the news. He truly Loved Ginny, but that was wrong, they could not be together, and besides that when you thought about it, it was kind of disgusting.

He heard a knock on the door. it was Ginny.

"Hey Harry"

"Hey Gin"

"You okay?"

"Not really."

"Me neither"

"Not as bad as me."

"Harry, why do you think that?" Ginny said, her eyes filling with tears. did he think she did not hurt as much as he did? she'd liked him for 7 years!

"Because I have to go and seduce every girl in 7th year but I can't be with the one that I love because she happens to be my sister!" He yelled, unfairly taking out his anger on her.

"DON'T BLAME ME HARRY! and besides, do you have any idea how hard it will be for me to see you with another girl?"

Harry had not thought of that…at least he would (hopefully) not see her with every other guy in Hogwarts. "I'm sorry Gin, I had not thought of that… but we can't dwell on this, this… it… we can never be. Simple as that. As much as it hurts, we have to accept that."

"I know, just I'm not sure if I can."

"Well, you'll have to, and so will I" Harry said, trying to sound kinda harsh, anger hid heartbreak well. "Ginny, I think it would be best if we stopped seeing each other, even as friends, we need to have some time apart, so do me a favour, don't seek out my company at Hogwarts." Harry said coldly

"Harry, why are you doing this?!?" Ginny asked, tears now pouring from her eyes.

"Because we can't do this!" he whispered sadly, dropping the mask of anger he'd been wearing to hide his feelings. A single tear running down his cheek.

Suddenly, Ginny kissed him, he savoured it for a moment then pulled away "this is wrong" he whispered, Ginny started to cry again and Harry took her in his arms and comforted her. She buried her head in his shoulder and he gently stroked her hair, soon her breathing slowed and she started to calm down. She was still crying, but at least she was no longer heaving and trembling.

Harry gently lifted her head up until their eyes met. "I'm sorry Gin, but there's nothing we can do." He said, gently brushing the tears away form her eyes. "We both need time to deal with this, but it has to be time away from each other. Do you understand?"

She nodded and smiled weakly before burying her head in his shoulder again… she liked it there. He gently kissed her on the top of her head and then they just sat there together, silent, enjoying each other's company and saving these last few moments they would allow themselves to be alone together.

Hermione was scared. Her .:ugh:. Father left her alone in her new private chambers within the riddle house. He had said that she should make herself decent, her "husband-to-be" Draco was coming over.

"I wonder if he knows who I am?" she thought aloud.

"Actually he does not." Lucius said from the shadows causing Hermione to jump.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" she screamed

"making sure you are getting ready for your betrothed, good thing I'm here, seeing as you still are dressed like a muggle! Now please do get dressed before my son arrives!"

"I'd rather not! I don't want to marry him"

"Well tough luck girl, you have to!"

"No I don't!"

"Yes you do, actually we wanted to have this done with before the start of the school year, so the wedding is tomorrow."

"WHAT!"

"You heard me, now get dressed!"

"NO!"

"Fine then, I was hoping you would co-operate before it came to this, but since it has" he flicked his wand and Hermione was soon being chased around the room by the clothing that had been set out for her on the bed. Lucius closed his eyes as her own clothing detached itself from her body and the dress and robes attacked her. She eventually stopped struggling and let herself be dressed.

"Much better, I'll be in to get you when your fiancée arrives." Lucius said as he left the room.

Hermione decided to look in the mirror, the dress was black with a shimmery midnight blue overlay. It was strapless and her robe was black and hung loosely around her shoulders. The spell Lucius did also had done her hair. It was in a French twist at the back of her head. She had to admit, she looked good! Then the reason why she looked like this came flooding back to her, and she went back to her sulking.

About twenty minutes later, Lucius came again, this time he was taking her to the dining room. Hermione did her best to keep composed, and he seemed oblivious to her distress.

The dining hall was huge, full of beautiful rich woods and green fabrics. Hermione was so impressed with the room, she failed to notice the tall blonde boy staring at her open mouthed.

'Granger? What the hell is she doing here?' he thought to himself

"Draco, please greet your fiancée" his father pushed him foreword and he dutifully went to Hermione and greeted her.

"Hello Hermione." Draco said as he took her gloved hand and kissed it.

'Great, now I have Malfoy cooties!' Hermione thought to herself bitterly (a/n I WANT MALFOY COOTIES!!!) She decided to play along, after all, she had to marry him, he should try to make this as painless as possible. "Hello Draco it's a pleasure seeing you this evening." she said coolly.

"The pleasure's all mine" Draco said before whispering in her ear "Or at least, it will be" he said seductively.

This gave Hermione shiver uncomfortably, 'Does he really think I'll sleep with him? So what if were engaged, no was in hell will he get that far!' she thought angrily as she was ushered to her seat by Draco, who sat next to her on her left, she was to her father's left and Lucius was beside him.

Then Voldemort stood. "We are gathered here tonight to celebrate two things, firstly, the reunion of my daughter and I, and secondly, to celebrate her engagement to young Draco." there was applause "may you continue to pursue my vision for a "pure magic" he lifted his glass and the other guests followed suit.

When the toast was over, the meal was served. It was a roast of some sort, Hermione thought she heard the word "dragon" being said by Lucius and decided to become a vegetarian when in the company of death eaters. She stuck to her salad. During the entire meal, Draco had started moving his hand up her leg, she swatted it away, but then her father glared at her. What is accepted for her to be groped at meals? Or was she just supposed to get along with Draco? Next time he tried, she did not let him get too far, she decided to try to make him uncomfortable, she held his hand.

'what the HELL is she doing!' Draco thought, slightly surprised at her actions. 'maybe this means she's warming up to me…' he thought hopefully. "give in so quickly love?" Draco said to her quietly.

"You wish" she said as she squeezed his hand tightly, very tightly, it was beginning to hurt, the ends of his fingers were turning purple by the time she finally let go. Draco had gone very red in the face, trying not to show the pain he was feeling. As a small bit of revenge he started feeling up her thigh again, she did not stop him, but cringed constantly, much to his delight.

After dinner, Draco (on his father's orders) walked Hermione to her suite.

"Well, this is my room, goodnight Draco" Hermione said as she started to close the door.

Draco blocked it and kept it open. " I walked you to your room, isn't that worth something?"

"Yes, and you got something, I did not slam the door into your face"

"Hermione, that's not what I meant"

"Then, what did you mean?"

" I wanted a kiss goodnight, that's all"

"Since when would you want to kiss me? I'm just the 'filthy bookworm mudblood' that you hate."

"I don't hate you Hermione"

"Since when?"

"I've never hated you, I've admired you, I've envied you, and tonight I want you, but I've never hated you"

Hermione stood aghast "Why did you treat me the way you did then?"

"I admired you because you were "inferior" as my father put it, and yet you still got better grades, I envied you because you had REAL friends, and I want you because you are beautiful and feisty, something none of those Slytherin whores ever were. I see you as a challenge. You do look stunning tonight by the way."

"Thank you…" Hermione said, not really knowing what else to say, she was kind of shocked.

"Oh well, maybe tomorrow, well then again, by then we'll be married so I am looking foreword to tomorrow night."

"why? So you can bed me?"

"well, that should be fun, but I'm actually looking foreword to the fact that I'll no longer be a virgin."

"what the… you, the rumoured Slytherin sex god, a virgin?"

"Yeah, Malfoy tradition, both bride and groom must be… wait a sec… you dated weasel for a long time, please tell me you still are because if not then there is this huge blood purification ritual that we have to do and it's rather nasty… reason why I kept to the tradition"

"Don't worry your thick little blonde head"

"HEY! I'm trying to be nice here!"

"I know, but I'm still not happy about this, the dark lord Voldemort is my father, I'm not a muggleborn, and I'm engaged to the man who was as of yesterday, my worst enemy."

"It was a shock for me too. I saw you come through those doors and I kind of flipped. Kind of a shock to find out that a) worst enemy is your fiancée and b) she is extremely sexy."

"You think I'm sexy?"

"Look at yourself in the mirror, big change from the whole bookworm look, however, naughty schoolgirl bookworm can be hot too."

"You did NOT just say that!"

"I did."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"But Hermione, I just wanted you to know, I've kinda had a crush on you, since 3rd year…"

"What?"

"Well it was just so hot that you would stand up to me like that and actually strike me! Nobody's had the guts to do that before!… or since for that matter."

"I was pissed, it was a little too much fun," she snickered, remembering how fun it was to finally hit the insufferable prick!

"Was it as fun as this?" Draco asked in a low voice before he captured Hermione's lips with his, pushed Hermione into her room, closed the door and pushed her up against it.

His kiss was deep and Hermione found herself being swept up in it. Victor and Ron had never kissed like this, this was different, this was more passionate, 'Kiss him back' a little voice in her head was a advising her, she tried to resist, but she gave in and kissed him back.

Draco smiled inwardly, 'so maybe she is not so hard to wear down after all' he thought as he slowly moved his hands down form her arms and to her waist and neck.

Hermione felt her arms being released and moved them up around Draco's neck 'this is SO wrong, but it feels so good' she thought to herself. ' More, let him do more!' the voice urgedShe felt Draco's hands moving toward he breasts, he cupped one but she did not pull away, she pushed into it.

Draco had never been so turned on in his life. He knew that is they went any further, he would not be able to stop himself, but hey, if she did not stop it was it so bad? He felt her hands playing with his shirt buttons and slowly undoing them, soon the shirt hung open and his pale chest was even more striking against the dark material of his shirt.

Hermione ran her hands up his chest making him shudder, a throaty groan escaped his lips she grinded herself up against him, even through the gown, she could feel his erection.

Draco started playing with the zipper to the gown, it was well hidden on the left side of the dress. He managed to get it undone and slipped the dress off of her with ease.

It was then Hermione realized that the dress had a built in corset, therefore no bra was needed and so she was kissing Draco Malfoy in nothing but her panties! 'Don't stop now!' the voice begged, but Hermione resisted.Slight panic swept through her as he carried her over to the bed and started undressing himself. He had his pants down to his knees and was currently kissing her chest when she pushed her off him. "Draco, we can't do this, it's too fast."

"Well, we ARE getting married tomorrow!"

" I know, but less than 10 minutes ago I was insulting you in the hallway. As much as a part of me wants this, it's wrong."

"are you sure?" he asked, his eyes silently pleading with her.

"No, I'm not, but it's better to be safer in this case, please let me sleep on this, I need time to think."

"Alright, but I'll have you yet Ms Granger!" Draco said playfully.

'ohmigod! Is he FLIRTING with me?' Hermione thought amusedly 'well then again, he was just about ready to sleep with me a few seconds ago, so this is actually a bit of a step in the other direction.' "Draco, I'll see you tomorrow, I need to sleep, we have a wedding tomorrow after all" Hermione said forcing a smile.

"Yes, of course" he said as he did up his pants and found his shirt. Hermione grabbed her bed sheet and wrapped it around her. She walked Draco to the door, but before he left, she grabbed him by the neck, turned him around and kissed him soundly.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"it's your goodnight kiss. Goodnight Draco."

"Sweet dreams Hermione" he replied as she closed the door.

He turned to go to his room, only to find himself face to face with his father "WELL?!?!?" he demanded.

"What do you want? And why are you outside Hermione's room?"

"I'm making your job easier!"

"what do you mean?"

"I put Hermione under a mild impertius curse"

"YOU DID WHAT?!?"

"Did you really think that she would fall for you so instantly? My job here was easy, lust was already there, I just made her act on it."

"How dare you! You know I have feelings for this girl! What if she had gone by her own free will? It would not matter because of what you were doing, that would be RAPE!"

"Don't worry Draco, I will no longer interfere, there is really no more need. Think about it, she is in there right now thinking about you, chances are she will be all night. Keep being your "charming" self and she'll be yours by tomorrow night."

"Stay out of my affairs father!" Draco commanded as he stormed town he hallway and slammed his door shut.
