~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~HERMIONE'S POV*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco and Hermione did everything togeather on Sunday. Hermione didn't seem to mind

today. They went to Hogsmead, and Draco spoiled her with preasents. Hermione felt bad because

he kept buying her stuff.

"Draco you really don't have to do this." Hermione stated.

"I want to do this." he said handing her a pink stuffed kitty.

"It's so cute, but really why all the gifts?"

"Because I love you."

"That's not a reason." Hermioen said following him to the door of the jewelry store.

"Oh NO! NO! NO! I REFUSE to go in there!" Draco took her arm and dragged her in.

"Draco, NO! You already bought me a dress, for what I have no idea, a stuffed kitty,

a stuffed bear, a stuffed llama, three books, and now this? NO!" she yelled causeing everybody

in the store to look at him.

"Hermione, you're getting some jewelry whether you like it or not." Draco said firmly.

"Fine but suprise me. I'll be back. Don't come looking for me. No, meet me in The Three

Broomsticks in an hour." With that she turned on her heel and walked out of the store.

She went into the bank and with drew all her money. When it was all in her money sack,

she made her way through the croud of Hogwarts students, and into the Quidditch store. She

immeditly went over to the newest brooms, Black Stars. They were beautiful black brooms. They

were expencieve, but Draco was worth it. She picked one up and took it over to the counter.

The clerk rung it up.

"That will be 41 galleons, 4 sickles, and 27 knuts, but for an extra 10 galleons you

can ingrave your name on the handle." (That's around 400 American dollars.)

"Ok." Hermione handed the money to the clerk.

"And your name miss?"

"Draco." the clerk eyed her suspiciously.

"What color?"

"Silver, and will you wrap it please?" she asked.

"Of course miss." the clerk said, understanding now why she said Draco.

The clerk handed her the wrapped broom. Hermione smiled and thanked him and left.

She made her way to the three broomsticks. Draco was sitting in the corner with two Butterbeers,

and three wrapped packages. Hermione made her way over to him and gave him a kiss. He eyed the

package that she had with her.

"Here." she said handing it to him.

He narrowed his eyes at her. "You shouldn't have got me anything," he said, "but thank

you!" He leaned over and gave her a kiss. "Here, open these first." he handed her the packages.

"Ok." she took the small one first. She carefully unwrapped it. She gasped. There was

a pair of earings with a H on them. It may not sound fancy but the Hs were crystal with diamons

in them. "Thank you Draco!" she quickly put them in and grabbed the biggest one. She unwrapped it

and found a gold chain with a small golden locket on it. The locket was in the shape of a heart,

not unlike her ruby, only it had a smaller heart in the middle of this heart. The small heart was

a small sapphire. The chain was longer then the other one so they didn't collied. Inside the

locket it read, 'I'll love you untill they day I die. Your's forever, Draco'. She put it on

and gave Draco a kiss on the cheek as thanks. She took the smallest package in her hand. It was

hard. She opened it and it was a case. She slowly lifted the lid, careful not to break the hinges

on it. Tears came to her eyes, as she saw the most beautiful ring. It was gold, and had a small

dimond heart in the center. Four gold xs and hearts were on the band, so it created XOXO, only

the os were hearts. (This is based on my ring. It's really pretty but I can't explain it.) She

hugged Draco. She was crying really hard by now. "Thank you, Thank you so much!"

"Leave this on as well, as the necklaces. The earings I don't really care about." Draco

stated.

She kissed him, "I'll never remove them, Draco." she said slipping the ring onto her ring

finger. "I love it! Now, it's your turn!" She picked the package up off the table, wipeing her

eyes. "Here."

~*~*~*~*~*DRACO'S POV~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco was so happy that she liked the gifts. He wasn't happy about the fact that

she got him a preasent. He didn't deserve it. Sure he was happy she thought of him, but he

felt bad.

Draco took hold of it, and unwrapped the handle. The word 'Draco' in silver curly writing

shone at him. He smiled, as he ripped the rest of the paper off. His eyes widened. He knew

right away what it was. He had wanted one so badly, but he couldn't afford it, with the amount

of money he spent on Hermione.

"Mione!" he gasped, "You shouldn't have, this was really expensive! Take it back." he

said handing it to her. Sure he loved it, and he loved her more then anything for thinking of

him this much, but he knew she didn't have much money, and couldn't accept it.

"I can't take it back. It has your name on it. They won't take it. You're worth it, and

I can tell by the way your eyes bugged out of your head that you like it, so just accept it or

I'll be forced to hurt you." Hermione stated matter-of-factly. He shot her a death glare.

"I love you so much! Thank you so much!" Draco said, hugging her really tight.

"You're welcome, but it's nothing compared to my gifts!"

"Would you like to try it out?" he asked her letting her go.

"You know I hate flying and last time I rode with you you almost killed me, so no."

"You trust me right?"

"With my life."

"Well, hop on! I won't let you fall." She sighed in defeat and they went outside the pub.

Hermione sacured the bags on her wrist and got on the broom holding tight to Draco.

They lifted off and she squeezed her eyes shut, and burried her face into Draco's back.

"Come on ya sissy! Open your eyes!" he teased.

Hermione opened her eyes, finding it nicer then before. "I love you so much you know that?"

"I love you more." Draco stated.

Hermione made a sound as if to say 'YOU WISH' but didn't comment. She knew she wouldn't

win if they got into an arguement over it.

Draco couldn't help but feel dred for the next day. He didn't want to do what he had to

do. He was only doing it because Pansy would really kill him and then Hermione wasn't safe. He

didn't care about his life. It was Hermione he was worried about. He would gladly die for her,

any day of the week.

They arrived on the balcony of the Head's chameber and went inside. Hermione went to put

her stuffed animals on her bed and her dress away. The dress was beautiful. It was a light purple

and it shimmered when you moved it. It turned silver in certin light. It wasn't a gown, it came

up to mid-thigh and had regular spegitti straps, but it was still a beautiful dress. He had

the perfect shoes to go with it. They were clear and had a strap of glitter in the front.

(They are from Hot Topic! I got them for my dance last year. They are hard to explain.)

She put her stuff away and went down into the common room with Draco. They just sat in

eachother's arms and enjoyed eachother's presence.

Hermione yawned. "I'm tired." she said.

"Let's spend the night in your room tonight." said Draco. Hermione nodded and got up and

went into her room. They laid down togeather with Hermione's head on Draco's chest. Hermione

had long since fallen asleep, but Draco stayed up and stroked her hair. He wanted to cry.

This would be the last night he could hold her. He was crying. He would miss her so bad. He

bent his head down and kissed her hair.

"I'll love you forever." he whispered. Hermione didn't hear. She was haveing sweet dreams

about him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*HERMIONE'S POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

~*~*~NEXT DAY~*~*~*~

Hermione woke up tangled with Draco. She smiled she could get used to this. Hell, she was

used to this. She looked forward to spending her whole life wakeing up in his arms. She loved

him so.

She quietly got up and took a shower. When she was done, she entered her room, careful

not to wake Draco and jumped up on the bed. She started bouncing around singing 'Wondering' by

Good Charlotte. Draco gurmbled.

"HERMIONE!!!" he whined.

"GET UP SLEEP HEAD! DOUBLE POTIONS FIRST THING!!!!" she yelled happily.

He got up and took his shower, dreading first period. He got dressed and they walked

to the dungons hand in hand. They sat at the table in the front. Snape entered shortly after

and told them the potions they would be makeing. They were partnered up and like always Head Boy

and Girl were togeather. Pansy and Harry sat in the desk behind them. When Harry and Hermione

had gone up to get the ingredents Pansy whispered something to Draco.

"Do it now!"

"Ok. OK!"

Hermione came back all smiles. She looked at Draco who all of a sudden look serious.

"What's the matter?" she asked the smile fadeing off her face.

"It's no concern of your's Mudblood." Draco said harshly.

Just like Pansy had planned the whole class was looking at them. They all knew of how

they were going out, and most of them, except a few Slytherins and one Gryffindor who were too

blind to see it know how much in love they were.

Hermione looked like she had just been slapped in the face.

"What?" she asked her voice shakeing.

"You heard me, Granger."

Tears were now welling up in her eyes. Even Snape was watching with and expression of

pure shock on his face.

"Draco? What's wrong?"

"You're what's wrong. Now shut your mouth."

"I love you Draco."

"Well, I don't love you."

"Draco," she said, tears now threating to fall.

"No, you didn't really think I ever loved you did you?" he asked meanly.

Her hand flew up to her locket she grasped it. She turned on her heel and ran out of the

class room. She couldn't stop the tears now. She didn't know what to do. She ran to the Head's

quarters and into her room. She flung herself onto her bed and smelled where he laied last night.

She got up and made her way over to her dresser. She got out his shirt and his silk boxers. She

slept in them almost everynight. She hadn't last night. She took her quill and parchment and

started to write.
