After explaining herself to her friends and teacher plus the order Hermione felt totally exhausted.She went for a walk around the grounds before curfew to try to clear her head, but she wasn't alone.
"Hermione?"
She turned to see who called her name "Hi Malfoy.I mean Draco."
"What are you doing out by yourself?I thought your Guardian was suppose to be with you at all times."
"Well I'm safe as long as I don't go away from Hogwarts. Dumbledore put a charm on me."
Hermione sat down on the grass, and Draco did the same.
"So what's it like to be a Goddess?"He asked.
"Like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. How come your not making fun of me? Your being nice."
"People change.Harry, and everyone else gave me a second chance when I helpped them defeat Voldemort. I relised I didn't want to head down the same path as my father so here I am."
Hermione smiled "Thats cool. I like this new you better than the old you."
Draco smiled back, and before he knew it his lips brushed against hers.He pulled back, and looked to see if he did the wrong thing, but if it was she didn't show it. She leaned back in and kissed him again allowing his tounge to enter her mouth.When they both pulled back this time it was to catch their breath.
"Draco I have to tell you that if this is going to go any farther than this then you should know that when the time comes I'll be returning back home."
"To california?"
Hermione shook her head "To the sky. Rumor told me that when I prove myself, and my parents send for me I'll be going back to where I came from.That could be tomorrow or 10 years from now.I just thought I'd tell you."
Draco ran a hand through his hair then looked back into her eyes "I don't care. I really have feelings for you Hermione, and I don't know if it's love, but I want to find out.I wanna give us a chance if you do."
Hermione nodded."I knew you were gonna say that."
Draco looked at skeptically.
"One of my powers is reading thoughts. Sorry."
"Thats okay. At least you'll definatly be the first to know if I love you then huh."
Hermione laughed, and then Draco helpped her up, and walked her to the castle for dinner.
Aways off deep in a cave a man was looking into his looking glass.
"Dumbledore may have you charmed my dear but he didn't think I could over look that.You will soon be mine, and I will take over this earth...Soon."
Hermione sat by Harry, and Ron at dinner while Rumor sat at the teachers table.Dumbledore told the students of her return, but just left it as personal reasons why she left.Most students acceppted that of course there was some who didn't.
"You really changed Hermione."Lavender said
"Well people do that."She said looking at Draco over at his table.
"Your hair is really cute."Parvati said.
"Thank you."
"Well enough girly chat. So Mione does this mean you get to graduate with us now."Ron asked.
Hermione looked at him "I don't know I'll have to ask Dumbledore."
SHe was eating and chatting when her vision stated to cloud, and she could hear a voice inside her head.She dropped her fork and her breathing started to pick up a bit.
"You can't hide from me you know.I can still get inside your brain."
"You'll never find me. Even if you do I wont surrender."
"Your destiny is with me."
"No my destiny is how I make it, and it'll be to destroy you."
Hermione tried, and tried to fight to get him out of her head finally the pain kicked in
"Ahhh!"She passed out into Harry's arms.
Rumor ran to her side, and checked her out.
"She's okay.Lets get her to her room."He picked her up, and the few at the school who knew the truth followed him.
