Hermione woke up and got dressed quickly before running down to the great hall to find Draco.She reached the entrance hall the same time Draco did.She ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deep.

"Well thats a good morning greeting I'd like to see more frequently."Draco said putting his forehead against hers.

""I heard you last night talking to Blaise.Did you mean what you told him? About loving me?"

Draco nodded "I think I always have."

"I love you too.Draco how can we ever be with everyone against us?"

Draco sighed "I always heard love can conquer all.We'll survive as long as we believe it."

"I fell like we're Romeo and Juliet."

"Who?"

Hermione laughed "It's a muggle play by Shakespeare. Two star crossed lovers who couldn't be together because their families wouldn't allow it. In the end it was their lover for each other that killed them."

"What a way to die."Draco looked at the door to the Great Hall "Are we ready to go in there? Blaise would've told everyone by now. It's gonna be like the end of the world in there."

Hermione smiled and took Draco's hand "We can get through it together."

Draco nodded and tightened his hold on her hand and they entered the Great Hall.

When the doors openned everyone grew quiet Draco kissed Hermione's hand and walked her to her table.He gave her a kiss bye then walked to his table.After Draco sat down the hall began to perk up with talk and Hermione knew it was about her and Draco.

"So when were you gonna tell us? "Ron asked.

"We were gonna tell everyone together when we thought the time was right."

"Boy, your just a book of secrets this year aren't you?I mean you don't tell us your real identity till way after you find out, and now you've been dating Mine and Harry's worse enemy behind our backs, and yet surprise, surprise you don't tell us that either."

"Ron I can't believe your upset over who I'm dating. Why should it matter? I love Draco, and he loves me.I don't care what anyone thinks, we all have to grow up sometime."Hermione said furiously before standing up and storming out of the Great Hall.

"You know it's bad enough she has to deal with Blaise on this issue, she shouldn't have to worry about her friends being against her too."Ginny said getting up, and following Hermione out.

Ron looked at Harry "Why didn't you say something?"

Harry shrugged his shoulders "Because it's her life. She's a big girl now Ron she doesn't need us to protect her from everything anymore, maybe she never did.Hermione can make up her own mind about things, and she can learn from her mistakes if she makes them."

"Are you saying your okay with Her and Malfoy dating, kissing, and possibly doing other things with each other?"

"No, but I'm not gonna smash it in her face either. You can't help who you love, and unfortuantly Hermione loves Malfoy. Like it or not if we really love her like family, which is what we tell everyone then we'll have to deal. It's apart of growing up man."

"What is with this growing up thing?I like things the way they are, who needs to grow up?"Ron said leaving the Great Hall before he started yelling at Harry.

Harry looked at the door "Maybe we all do."Harry then looked over to the Slytherin table to see Malfoy looking back at him with what looked like a fraction of thanks on his face.Harry gave him a nod of the head then continued his meal.

Hermione was making her way to the Gryffindor tower when she ran into the one person she didn't want to see at that moment.

"Blaise why are you up this way?"Hermione asked

"I was looking for you. Look I'm gonna get right to the point I want you to quit seeing Draco."

"Well it was nice talking to you."

Hermione went to walk by him but he held her back "I mean it. You know Voldemort is probably after your head right now, and who better to turn you over then his right hand man's son. draco will give you up in a heart beat.As much as I hate to say it I think he's just using you."

"Your just mad because we're dating.I'm not gonna quiet seeing him so sorry. I love him, and we're gonna stay together no matter what.If you can't handle that then thats your problem."

"Fine but don't expect me to be there for you to have a shoulder to cry on when hebreaks your heart. Your suppose to be the smart twin so I'm gonna ask, how can you be so stupid?"

"Simple. You rubbed off on me."Hermione said then continued down the corridor.

Blaise shook his head then looked at his sister's retreating back as she entered the gryffindor portrait "If you wont see the truth then I'll just have to prove it."He then walked down to the dungeons.

Draco went to the Slytherin common room after dinner that night and could feel the tension.Something was gonna happen, and he was sure it was gonna happen in the common room at that moment or at least that night.He looked around the room to see if anything stuck out, to see if anything was there that shouldn't be there.He saw Blaise sitting with Pansy, Crabbe, and Goyle and they were all smirking at him.He was gonna go ask what was up, but something or rather someone caught him off guard.

"Hello son."

Draco turned around to face his father.

"Where are your manners. Don't I get a hello?" Lucius asked.

"Hello father. What brings you here?"Draco asked but looked over to where Blaise was sitting.

Blaise was watching the exchange with a look of anxiousness and fear.

Lucius lead Draco to an empty corner, and stayed there talking to his son for a good few hours before he got up and left.

Noone saw the only person in the common room smiling like they were gona burst.
