IF YOU CAN, LISTEN TO THE SONG: WRAPPED by GLORIA ESTEFAN, it's exactly what Hermione and Draco feel for each other… especially the phrases: "Keep every tear like an ocean for every day that my fortune kept me from being with you… Give me your wounded (A/N: I don't know if it really said wounded… but I think that's what she said… please correct me if I'm wrong.) solution when my pathetic confusion kept me from speaking the truth… When I'm with you I'm already everything I can become…" I hope you like the song!!!

I won't be able to post the chapters as quickly as I did with my previous fan fiction because my arm hurts really bad and I don't know how much time it will take it to heal… I'll try to write when it doesn't hurt so much, but it's getting more difficult every day, so I don't know, I'll do my best…

Sara: I know what you mean about planning ahead… but if I plan the story ahead, I always tend to change the whole plot in the last minute… (My previous fic had a complete different plot from the one you've read…) I don't really know what's got into Draco, but I love to write stories where I am a writer and a reader as well… even though I have some plans to where it will lead to, I like to plan chapters because I don't wanna change the plot at the last minute…

Alba: jeje, me encanta dejarlos descansar… jeje, pero después en chapters más adelante van a descansar un poco más… lo que pasa es que Hermione está muy preocupada por lo que le está pasando a Draco… internamente tiene miedo de que lo que está diciendo es la verdad que no puede decir cuando está conciente… me explico??? Jaja Bueno, espero que te guste este chapter… es un poco más romanticón al final… ;)

No sé por qué, pero estaba escuchando esta canción y pensé en Draco, fijate si te la podés bajar… se llama LO QUE EL VIENTO NUNCA SE LLEVÓ. (la canta Fito Paez. Es del disco CIRCO BEAT) Te lo mando a vos porque sos la única que lee este fic que entiende español, y la cosa es la letra… no tengo idea por qué pensé en Draco, pero me vino la imagen clara de él y lo que piensa del mundo… fijate si te produce la misma sensación… es como si por partes Hermione se la cantara (por la letra) a Draco y a veces como si Draco se la cantara a Hermione…

Como advertí más arriba, no sé si voy a escribir y subir chapters tan seguido porque tengo una contractura bastante jodida en los brazos que me impide estar mucho tiempo en una misma posición… estoy tratando de arreglarlo, pero no sé cuánto tiempo va a tardar en curarse, yo creo que en dos meses estoy bien de nuevo… pero como me dejé estar un montón de tiempo (un año y pico) ahora es más doloroso… aparte no se sabe si es en realidad una contractura o tendinitis, que es más jodido todavía… lo más probable es que o sea tendinitis o que tenga un sobrehueso en uno de los hombros, lo malo de la segunda es que si tengo un sobrehueso me tienen que operar y no voy a poder escribir por un tiempo… ya que es en el brazo derecho, mano con la cual escribo… así que ni en un anotador voy a poder escribir…  espero que sea sólo una contractura… pero viendo cómo me duele (hay noches que no puedo dormir, porque la contractura me llegó hasta el cuello, por lo que me produce dolores de cabeza terribles…) te aviso que si no recibís noticias mías en un tiempo, es por esto…

Chapter 5: "Love is all around!"

As they were getting into the car, Draco and Hermione were both deeply thinking about what had happened in the hospital…

"What do you reckon that was?" Hermione asked.

"What do you mean?"

"What happened back in the hospital room…?"

"Dunno… we'll ask Potter then, he knows about this stuff…" Draco didn't want to talk about what had just happened, because he knew what it was… but Hermione would never know…

"Draco… please… I know you're hiding something from me…"

Draco smiled and looked at her sweetly. "Look, Mione… it's true, I AM actually hiding something from you… but I can't follow you around telling you how stupid I feel when you're near, I can't describe the feeling in my stomach every time you kiss me… and, I still think you're an insufferable know-it-all… I guess that's all I've been hiding from you all this time…" He said smiling.

Hermione kept thinking about what had happened before and didn't like Draco's answer… "It's not funny, Draco! You were acting really weird!"

"Mione… if you haven't realized yet… I always act weird…" Draco said trying to calm Hermione down. "Please let's talk about this tomorrow… all right?"

"Ok, yes, you're right. Tomorrow we'll speak about this…"

They had arrived at the Manor.

"Just for you to know…" Hermione said. "I've also been hiding things from you… I think you're a big headed brat… and that you think you're irresistible…" Hermione couldn't go on because Draco had placed his lips on hers. "Let me finish…"

"No…"

"You little spoiled brat!"

"You bookworm…"

"Dyed blond!"

"Hey! Don't mess with that!" He said jokingly.

(A/N: You can already imagine what followed…)

"Morning…" Hermione said yawning as she headed towards the bathroom.

"Morning…" Draco answered still in bed.

"We have to go to buy some things for tonight, Harry, Luna, Ron and Ginny are coming to dinner…"

"Shopping with you again?! Can't we do something else?"

"Funny, aren't you?" Hermione said from where she was.

"C'mon, I'll change and we'll go…"

After a few minutes, they were both in the car.

"What are we eating?" Draco said as they got into the grocery store… He wasn't really excited about this muggle shopping thing… Even though he didn't hate muggles, most of their habits seemed really stupid to him… like carrying their bags to the car when wizards simply reduced the bag's size and weight…

"I don't know… what do you want?"

"I don't know… you know I like food in general… I just like eating…" He said leaning on the trolley…

"Let's make treacle pie… Harry likes that one…"

"Everything for you dear Potty…" Draco said rolling his eyes. (A/N: He's not jealous of Harry… he's just bored… so he annoys people… I had to add some of me to him!!! Lol)

Hermione acted as though she hadn't listened. "Ginny likes roast beef…" she said picking up a big piece of meat. "And Ron… well… let's get a bit of everything for Ron…" She said clueless…

They got out of the shop, and got into their car…

"When are we getting our dog?" Draco asked.

"Are you going to take good care of it? Clean after him?" (A/N: This is actually what my mother has been telling me for two years…)

"Yeah, guess so…"

"I swear Draco, he grabs one of my shoes, and I'll go away! It will be me or the dog…"

"I choose the dog, Granger… he won't follow me around telling me what to do…"

"What a jerk you are!"

"I'm just kidding… Mione… I can't make love to a dog…" He said laughing.

"You'll have to! Because you're not making love to anyone for now!"

"What if I buy you something?"

"Draco…"

"C'mon… you have Crookshanks! I have nothing…" He said looking down as if he were sad.

"Ok…" Hermione sighed. "Are you bored?"

"Why?"

"Because you're annoying me…" Hermione said smiling.

"Really?" He said getting out of the car and heading towards the Manor.

"Yes. Really…" She said firmly.

"I don't think so…" He said kissing her.

"Ok… no… you're not that annoying…"

"Can I get the dog now?" He said kissing her again.

"I don't know…"

"Please?"

"Ok… we'll go and buy it tomorrow…"

"You know… you're really good to be a know-it-all…" He said putting an arm around her.

"I'm not a know-it-all… and you're a spoiled jerk…" She said hugging him.

"I know… and when I want something you know I won't stop until I get it…"

"Don't tell me! I hadn't noticed!" She said faking surprise.

They got into the Manor and started preparing things for the dinner… well… the elves did… Hermione spent all afternoon telling Draco how he should stop reading about Quidditch and start helping the elves, that it was really unselfish of him to let them do everything while he enjoyed life doing exactly nothing…

"All right! You've got to my nerves…" He said getting up.

"I hope so!"

"I'm going out!"

"WHAT?! You can't go out! You have to help me and the elves!"

"Yes, I can… and you're coming with me…" He said grabbing her arm.

"No! Draco! Let me go!" She screamed as he pulled her out of the house.

"Close your eyes…"

"Why?"

"Granger… you're an insufferable know-it-all! Stop asking questions! Close your eyes because I say so!"

"Ok" She said closing her eyes.

Draco started taking her towards what she thought was the graveyards of the Malfoy family…

"Where are we?" She asked.

"Open your eyes now…"

Draco had rebuilt the place… (A/N: Yes, he took the bodies out too…)

There was a ballroom and several rooms…

"It's so beautiful…" Hermione said in astonishment.

"Wouldn't it be cool if we married here?" He asked taking her waist from behind her…

"What?"

"I said that it would be really cool if we got married in here… that's why I built it anyway…"

"Really?"

"Yeah… really… would you marry me?" He said in her ear.

"You know what you're getting into right?" She said half laughing and half crying.

"Yes… and I can't wait to get into that… So, what do you say?"

"Of course I say yes!" She said turning around and kissing him.

"And that dinner… and that fight… were both already planned…"

"I can't believe I didn't guess it… I'm so disappointed by myself!"

"I know… but I needed you to know what I feel…"
