Sorry but it's the truth.

The next few days Hermione studied Draco. Hard. Still, she didn't find anything wrong.

He, however, noticed her behavior, and played like nothing was wrong. One night they were sitting

in the common room, and Draco was writing a letter.

"Who's that to?"

"No one."

"Really?" Hermione stood up and made her way over to him.

"No, 'Mione, you can't see!" Draco pulled the letter off of the table so she couldn't

see. "Why not?"

"Because I said so."

"Oh, I see, your writing a letter to your secret girlfriend. I guess Pansy was right."

she stated, not really thinking that he was writing to a secret girlfriend, but wanting to see

how'd he react.

"HERMIONE!" he yelled jumping up, "You know I'd never do that to you! How could you think

that?" He was in total histarics by then.

"Draco! Don't worry! I wasn't being serious. I'm sorry! Don't worry! I love you, and I

know you'd never do that to me." she said giving him a comforting hug.

"Don't make me think you think I'm cheating on you."

"I'm sorry! Do you forgive me?" she asked shooting him the Puppy Eyes.

"Yes..." he sighed. Then he gave her a quick kiss and left for his room. He stoped in the

door way. "Oh, and Hermione? Stop trying to figure it out, your never going to." He went in and

shut the door.

"Oh yes I will!" she called at the closed door. Then she sighed and said quietly to

herself, "Mabey I won't." With that she turned on her heel and walked into her room and went

to sleep.

Hermione was running down a wide corridor. She recgonized it but she didn't know exactly

where it was (does that make sence?). She didn't know where she was going, she just ran. She was

about to round the corner when she heard a sqeeky voice.

"Draco, tell me you love me." the voice said.

"I love you." said Draco.

Hermione didn't know what to do, she knew the voice wasn't hers, so she looked around the

corner to see who it was. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was. Pansy.

"You have always loved me haven't you?" she squeeked.

"Yes Pansy, I have always loved you."

"Even when you were going out with that Mudblood? You never really loved her did you?"

Hermione's breath caught in her throat.

"No, she ment nothing to me. She was just a toy that I had a little fun with. Honestly

Pansy, would I ever stoop to that level?"

"I didn't think you loved her."

"You're the only one for me." Draco whispered in her ear.

"Kiss me, Draco."

And Draco did just that.

'Why would Draco do that? How could he do that to me?' she thought to her self tears

streaming down her face.

Draco and Pansy broke apart and Pansy looked strait at Hermione and smirked. Draco

followed her gaze and smirked also.

"So Mudblood, enjoy the show?" Draco asked coldly. A voice Hermione hadn't heard in a

long time.

"How could you do that?" Hermione asked her voice barely a whisper.

"You get more thick every day, Granger. I never loved you. You really are stupider then

I thought."

"But what about the ruby."

"The ruby that I gave you at camp? I thought you'd realized that you didn't have it

anymore!" he said motioning to Pansy. Around her neck was the ruby that once hung around hers.

Hermione turned around and rand back down the hall. She ran as hard and as fast as she

could.

She went out the oak doors, and into the forest, where she tripped and everything went

black....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione sat strait up in her bed. Sweat poreing down her face. She through

the blankest off of her and ran strait into Draco's bedroom. She looked around. He wasn't there.

She panicked. She started to pace the room. Mumbleing to her self, about where he could be.

"Is there a reason you're paceing like your life depends on it?" Draco said behind her.

It wasn't cold, but sweet like he'd talked to her since camp.

"Draco, where were you?" she asked worriedly.

"I was owling a letter." he answered her simply. He really was owling a letter.

"Ok."

"Why?"

"I had a nightmare."

"What about?" he asked putting his arms around her in a comforting fashion.

"You... and Parkinson."

"What happened? Is that why you were worried?"

"I'd rather not talk about it. But think of it this way, I had a nightmare involving the

person who I love more then anything in the world and my worst enemy, I wake up and come to find

you, and you were gone. You'd be worried too!"

"It's ok Hermione. It was just a dream." he said sitting on his bed and pulling her onto

his lap. "I love you Hermione." He kissed her. She drifted back to sleep in his arms. He spent

another hour just holding her sleeping form and enjoying her presance. He finally laid her down

with him and fell asleep.

The next morning Hermione woke up in Draco's arms. She had no clue how she got there.

Then the nights events came flooding back to her. He was right, it was a stupid dream. She was

stupid for thinking it was real. Draco hates Pansy, and he'd never cheat. He loved her. She loved

him. They were in love and nothing could stop that. Not Ron, not Pansy, not any Slytherins or

Gryffindors.

The Halloween Ball drew nearer, Hermione was still trying to figure out what was going

on. Draco was right in her not finding out. The letter he owled was to Les, Kandi, and the others

saying not to go near the subject, for then it might be ruined. But Hermione was determined.
