A/N: I know you're all going to murder me! But forgive the long awaited chapter. I've been busy doing homework and also I've been sick. Cough cough. Anyways, why am I still talking? On with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I own nothing, not even the plot. Just the idea of the mix.

Draco and Blaise were waiting for Maya outside of the Opera House. While waiting for her, they went into an untouched conversation.

Blaise was pacing back and forth when Draco said, "We don't have anything to be nervous about."

"I know, I know. But—" said Blaise, but was cut off by Draco.

"No, no, you don't know. I was the guy. The one who opened the wall. She's that real thing, Blaise."

"That means," said Blaise slowly realizing, "Maya has found her family. We have found the last Muggle-born. And you…"

"Will walk out of her life forever." Said Draco, before Blaise got any ideas.

"But—"

"Purebloods don't marry Muggle-borns." He said looking at Blaise half-smiling. Then he told him seriously that they were going to go through with the plan as if nothing had changed.

"You need to tell her." Said Blaise.

"Tell me what?" a voice interrupted from behind Blaise. It was Maya. She was wearing a long coat that was covering her dress. Her hair was in an elegant bun and all traces of her being an orphan were gone.

"How beautiful you look." Said Draco, stuttering and then regaining his composure.

Draco extended his arm to Maya, which she took, but was still surprised by his actions. They went into the Opera House where they gave their coats to an usher. Maya stood at the top of a staircase that led to their seats and that was when Draco really noticed her for the first time.

She was wearing a beautiful blue dress courtesy of Channel. It was a strapless that reached past her feet. She wore a diamond choker and matching earrings and bracelet. That was when she noticed that he was staring at her open-mouthed and nodded at him. He rushed to her side to guide her to their seats.

Once they were in their seats Draco took the binoculars that he brought with him and say Ginny, Ron, and Harry sitting on the other side of the theater in a balcony. He tapped Maya on the shoulder and told her where they were. Since they were also on a balcony, she didn't need to look too far.

"Please let them remember me." She muttered before setting her eyes on the stage where a ballet version of Cinderella was being performed.

She starts to twist the program in her hands during the first half of the show until the entire program was ripped to pieces on her lap. She was so nervous that she almost jumped 3 feet in the air when Draco told her that it was time to introduce her to Harry and Ron.

When Draco was leading Maya towards Harry, Ron and Ginny's balcony, she started to become really nervous and started to walk the opposite direction. But Draco stopped her just in time. They reached the door and Draco told her to wait outside while he went in and introduced her.

When he went in, the door was left ajar and Maya could hear every word that was being said.

"Please inform Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley that I have found their best friend Hermione Granger. She's waiting to see them just outside the door."

"I'm very sorry, sir," said Ginny acting, "Buy Harry and Ron, they will see no one." She said winking at him. Harry and Ron were behind some curtains.

"You may tell that man that we have seen enough Hermione Grangers to last us a lifetime." Said a deep voice.

"You'd better go." Said Ginny, disappointed. It was Harry the one that said that and she knew that she had made a mistake giving them hope.

"Please, just—" started Draco, but he was cut off by another deep voice.

"Didn't you hear what he said? In case you didn't: NO! We've seen enough." Said the second voice clearly agitated.

"Oh!" said Ginny exasperated. "I'll see you to the door. Come, come now. Come to the door." Ginny closed the curtains fully and was heading to the door, but Draco wouldn't give up that easily.

He walked towards the curtains and pulled them apart to reveal two men. One with very messy jet black hair and the other with combed back red hair like Ginny's.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, I intend you no harm. My name is Draco Malfoy; I used to attend Hogwarts with you."

"Well, that's something we haven't heard before." Said Harry sarcastically, as he rose from his chair, Ron following him, tired of people telling him that they have found his only love.

"Wait! If you'll just hear me out!" Draco said, blocking the way out.

"I know what you're after! I've seen it before! Men training women the high class way!" said Ron, before he could control himself.

"But if you'll just listen—" again Draco was cut off. But this time it was Harry.

"Haven't you been listening? We've had enough! We don't care how much you have fashioned this woman to act like her, sound like her or be like her, in the end it never is her!" he shouted at Draco.

"But this time it is her!" said Draco screaming back at Harry.

"Draco." Said Harry to get his attention. Maya was listening through the doorway that was ajar.

"I've heard of you. You're the last of the Malfoys. You'd do anything for money. You were holding auditions for a Hermione look-alike."

Maya gasped, holding back tears at what she was hearing.

"But we've come all the way from England just to see you and—"

"And others have come from Timbuktu." Said Ron.

"How much pain will you inflict on us for money? Remove him at once!" yelled Harry to two guards, who took Draco by the arms and dragged him outside of the door screaming.

"But she is Hermione, I'm telling you! She is! If you'll only speak to her, you'll see!" He shouted until he was thrown out.

"It was all a lie wasn't it?" said Maya looking down at Draco, holding back tears.

Draco looked from the door to Maya and realized what he'd done.

"No!" he said quickly.

"You used me? I was only a part in your con to get their money?" she was angry now.

"It may have started out that way, but everything's different now. Because you really are Hermione!" he grabbed her arm to stop her from running away.

"Oh, stop it! From the very beginning you lied! And I not only believed you! I actually—oh!" she was mad at herself for believing such lies like that!

"Maya, please." This was the only way that he could get her to believe him, but she wouldn't hear any of it.

"When you spoke of the hidden door and the guy opening the wall. Maya listen to me! I was the—"

"No! I don't want to hear about anything that I said or remembered! You just leave me alone!" she screamed at his face, trying to free her from his grasp.

When he didn't, she slapped him hard across the face. Two men seeing what was happening held him back as he screamed, "Maya, please you have to know the truth!"

Outside of the Opera house, Draco was waiting for a cab when he saw Harry and Ron come out and go to their limousine. Their driver opened the door for them and Draco got into the driver's seat and started to speed away before the real driver caught up.

"Ilya, slow down!" said Harry. Draco turned around for them to see him.

"I'm not Ilya, and I won't slow down. Not until you listen." He turned back around to watch the traffic and he sped towards the hotel that they stayed in before Maya ran again.

"How dare you!" screamed Ron. "Stop this car immediately! Stop! This! Bloody! Car!"

Draco didn't listen; he just kept on driving until they reached the hotel. He got out of the limo and opened the door to Harry's side and stepped into the spacious back seat.

"You have to talk to her! Just look at her, please!" he said looking at them both in the eyes.

"We won't be bother by you a moment longer!" said Harry, trying to get out, but Draco took something out of his pocket and held it up for Harry and Ron to see.

It was the jewelry box that Maya had seen on the boat. (A/N: I made a mistake in the description. It has books around it, not flowers.)

Ron stared wide-eyed and Harry audibly gasped.

"How did you—?" started Ron slowly, but Draco cut him off.

"I've know you've been hurt. But it's possible that she's been just as lost and alone as you guys." Draco said seriously.

"You'll stop at nothing, will you?" asked Ron.

"I'm probably just as stubborn as you are." Said Draco, getting out of the limo and leading Harry and Ron to her room.

He left them at her door saying that after their last encounter, she wouldn't want to see him now.

When Draco turned the corner, Harry knocked on the door and was answered by a "Go away, Draco!"

He pulled out his wand and muttered, "Alohomora." And it opened.

They stepped inside to a wonderful room. A girl was sniffing and packing her clothes with her back turned to them as they walked into the room.

When she heard the door open, she turned around to tell him off, but was face to face with Harry and Ron themselves.

"I'm sorry I thought you were someone else." She apologized.

"It's alright." Said Harry, smiling. Ron noticed that this was the first time he really smiled in years.

"Who exactly are you?" asked Ron coldly.

"I was hoping you could tell me." She answered taken aback by his coldness.

"We're just tired of being conned and tricked." Said Harry, walking closer to her as she sat on a nearby chair.

"I don't want to trick you." Said Maya instantly.

"And I suppose the money doesn't interest you either?" asked Ron.

"I just want to know who I am. Whether I belong to a family, or have friends." She answered truthfully.

"You're a very good actress." Said Ron.

"Best yet, but we've had enough." Said Harry. He signaled Ron for them to leave, but a scent caught her nose when Harry passed right by her.

"Cool Water?" she asked as she let herself take another sniff of it. She always loved the smell of Cool Water on a man. "I remember that I spilled some that my pen pal had sent over form America and these two girls were always fighting for it until it just dropped and broke. I missed you guys when you were always busy with something else and not with me. Harry with Ginny. Ron and Lavender. You just didn't have time for me anymore."

She leaned back on her chair and thought really hard. She was starting to get a headache. Until Harry said something.

"You gave me some for my birthday. Ron never liked it, but I always wore it because you gave it to me." He sat down next to her.

She fingered the necklace that she was always wearing and Harry noticed something odd about it.

"What is that?" he asked. Ron looked at what Harry was pointing to.

"Oh, this? Well, I've had it since before I can remember." She said with a smile on her face.

"May I?" asked Ron. He took the necklace from her hands and gave it to Harry to examine. Harry just gasped.

"It was our secret. Hermione, Ron, and mine." Said Harry. He pulled out the box that he got from Draco earlier and Maya gasped recognizing it. She took it from his hands and started to repeat a sort of rhyme in her head.

"Found by friendship, Bound by love, Stronger than all the spirits above." She said as Harry put the necklace on the empty space. It fit like a key.

The box opened to reveal a moving picture of the three.

"Ron we found Hermione! We found her! We found her! We found her!" shouted Harry, hugging a crying Hermione.

"Hermione! We found you!" Ron went to hug her and she held out her arms and they stood there in a group hug fiercely crying (Hermione) or else screaming for joy (Harry and Ron).

Outside, Draco saw them from the open window and blew Hermione an unknowing kiss goodbye and walked into the night.
