Chapter 34

Harry and Draco told Lupin about their dilemma and he decided to help them out. He went to Draco's vault and got all the stuff that Harry would need to make a convincing Draco Malfoy at Hogwarts.

That night a dinner Mrs. Weasley made sure that everyone had packed all their stuff and that it was all read to go for the morning. They had dinner and then they all went to bed. All but two.

Hermione entered her bedroom and found a letter on the floor. She picked it up and saw her name neatly written on the front. She couldn't quiet recognize the writing.

Hermione,

Please meet me in the third floor library tonight. I want to see you before we are at Hogwarts and we can't see each other.

Harry (At least for tonight)

Hermione decided to get a little dolled up. She applied a light shade of eye shadow and sparkly lipstick. She pulled out a slinky black dress that reached her mid-thigh. She scrounged around for a pair of jeans to were under the dress. When she did she thought of doing something with her hair but decided better. Since she couldn't magic her hair she just left it as it was. Still a little frizzy but it was starting to tame a little.

She snuck out of her room and down to the third floor. The library door was shut but it looked like there was a candle lit on the other side of the door. Slowly she stepped closer to the door and she strained to here anything but there was nothing except the muffled sounds of a fire crackling in another room in the house.

She placed her hand on the doorknob and softly turned it. The door was slightly cracked open when someone on the other side pulled the door out of her grasp. She inhaled and was ready to pull away. The door moved to reveal a tall, longhaired blonde. It was Harry. She instantly relaxed.

"Hello," he said with a deep voice that sounded sweet unlike the original owner's use of that deep baritone voice.

"Hello," Harry had let his hair down so that it framed his face like a halo. She entered the library and saw the magnificent annex in firelight. Harry followed her and he pulled up a chair next to the fire for her.

"Wow, this is really nice," Hermione started. Harry remained silent, "So…. What did you want to talk about?" Harry leaned forward and took her hands in his own.

"Hermione…." He started. She just waited for him to continue, "I…I…"

"Harry? Are you alright?" she held his hands now.

"I'm sorry before hand of all the mean things I'll probably say to you, about you. Everything. I don't want M-Draco to screw anything up between us," he was looking at her knees, "We've been practicing being each other. He's doing pretty good but he still needs work," he was now looking into her eyes.

"Ron and I are going to help him. Don't worry. We won't let him do anything strange to your body…Is that what you're worried about?"

"No…. not at all," Harry got up and started pacing the room, "I'm not worried about me…" He stopped and looked at Hermione, "I'm worried about you!"
