A/N: Thank you for the reviews! I've written a new story, 'the innocent witch'. It's quite similar to this story, but I changed a bit of it, so it will not be so ooc, you can read it and review!
Gabriela:I'msorry asI did not write 'sarcastically' when Draco said his line, so it's ... ' "Whaoh! Team spirit, eh? Why must you have to be so clever?" Draco asked sarcastically and everyone stared at Hermione.' I apologise for my mistake!
anonymous: I need to apologise for my mistake!!! Yes, you were right, Hermione lost her virginity to Krum, not Malfoy! Sorry everyone!
dA fiGhtER: I know I'm to fast and straightforward, but I can't help it. I'll try to go slower and put it in mind when I write my stories.
SoftballQueen33 & sporty12gd4u: thank you!And those of you whom I did not mention, thank you for your encouragements!

Chapter 27 - Ryan
Draco stood behind Ryan, exchanging looks with Hermione. "Draco, er... This is Ryan, my distant cousin." She said, wanting Ryan to know that Draco was in their presence. Ryan looked behind him and saw Draco glaring at him as he caught him staring at Hermione's body.
"Who is this?" He asked Hermione.
"He is my er..." Hermione looked at Malfoy."Boyfriend." Draco continued. Ryan looked slightly crestfallen, apparantly wanting to woo Hermione.
"Hermione, are you sure he's your cousin?" Draco whispered to her. "I don't know! My mother never mention him before! But I'm adopted! Maybe he didn't know! Maybe he is innocent." Hermione whispered back. Draco pretended to be hugging Hermione but whispered, "You think he could be from the wizarding world? Or might be one of my father's spies! Or Voldermort's undercover..."
Hermione let go of him and said, "I don't think so..." She looked at Ryan, who was reading the menu upside down, lookiing sidewards. "I think he is, maybe." She replied.
"So tell me, Ryan, how did you know Hermione." Draco said. Hermione nodded at Ryan and sat down. He looked at both of them and started.
"Right. I migrated from Australia with a few of my best friends to go to school here. Then my mother told me me about my cousins and she had a picture of young Hermione and that is how I recognised her beautiful features..."
Hermione blushed. Draco seemed very jealous. 'I hate this guy, he is up to no good... he might even try to steal away Hermione from me!' He thought.
"So I recognised her and here I am! I can't believe I would meet you here! Now you've grown so beautiful!" Ryan flattered.
Hermione blushed again. 'He is really a hottie, too bad, Draco dated me first...' she thought, looking a bit crestfallen. 'Anyway, I can't marry Ryan, we are distant cousins. Hermione, wake up!!! Besides. he might be a wizard and a spy or maybe a fake!'
Draco glared at Ryan who is staring at Hermione's eyes. 'Looks like I've got a competition here...'
Hermione grinned fakely at Ryan, who is trying to trance Hermione into looking in his clear blue eyes. 'God, I've seen that tatic already...' Hermione rolled her eyes.
"So! What shall we order for lunch?" Draco purposely broke the silence.
"I'll have the salmon and the salad." Hermione immediately responded after looking through the menu.
"And I'll have the fish and chips." Ryan said brightly.
'I'm forever the waiter...' Draco murmured. "Hermione and I will go get them, right Hermione?" Draco motioned her to go with him. "Oh yeah! Right..." Hermione got up and scampered off beside Draco.
"Let's keep a close watch on him and find out whether he's a wizard. He might not know that we are from the magical world." Draco whispered to Hermioneafter ordering the food. She nodded and helped him carry some of their food. He brought the food to Ryan and sat down with Hermione, facing him.
"How old are you, Ryan?" Draco asked. Ryan glanced at them uneasily. "I'm sixteen years old, why?" He question suspiciously.
"We would like to know who is older." Hermione helped Draco answer. She knew Ryan would not question further if she answered.
"Let's eat, then." Hermione smiled at both at them. She caught many younggirls watchingher jealously. She rolled her eyes. Ryan asked Hermione, "How come you are here? Aren't you suppose to be in Britain?" He asked
"Oh.." Hermione exchanged glances with Draco. "We are er... taking a very longvacation here from school..." Hermione replied.
"Yeah, that's right." Draco convinced Ryan.
"Well, that's great!" Ryan beamed. "We can go surfing and skateboarding and all!" Draco and Hermione grinned and they carried on chatting and eating.
Suddenly, Ryan's mobile phone rang. Hermione Draco stared at him. "Hello?! Go now?! All right. I'm so sorry, I've to go now. My friends want to go hang out with me. Bye! See you soon!" Ryan waved and walked out of the restaurant. Draco paid the bill and they hurried out to follow him. Ryan was walking very fast and they followed him until a very quiet and less crowded place, an alley.
"What do you think he'd be doing here?" Hermione asked Draco.
They saw Ryan reaching out for something in his pocket after looking around. "Hey dude! Long time no see!" A tall, raven-haired, average-looking teenager came out from nowhere. Ryan smiled and said, "I saw her. I saw her with that guy."
In Hogwarts... (At breakfast)
"Harry! Look! The Daily Prophet!" Ron bekoned him toread it. Harry took the paper and read:
LUCIUS MALFOY SENDS SPIES TOTRACKDOWN HIS SON AND HIS LOVER IN THE MUGGLE WORLD
Lucius Malfoy sent forty spies to find his son, a runaway groom who refusedto marry Pansy Parkinson as his wife. The young Malfoy eloped last Monday morning with his muggle-born lover, Hermione Granger. "I hope he will not be so stubborn to continue livingwith that mudblood. I'll never let a mudblood marry into the Malfoy family." The Malfoy said sternly. Though there are rumours that Hermione Granger is a true pure blood, adopted by Minerva McGonagall, who is a teacher at Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry,but Mr Malfoy seems to turn a deaf ear to those rumours. "It's true.Ms. Granger is a pureblood. It's up to you for you to believe," says Albus Dumbledore, the head master of Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry. There are also rumours that Mr Malfoy and Ms. Granger might be in America. "Mr. Malfoy should not break them up! Malfoy and Hermione really love each other." Mr. Colin Creevey a student from Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry have seen Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger together and took some photos of them (below). There will be a reward of 10 000 galleons to whoever found both Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger. -Rod Monteiro
"That means Hermione and Malfoy will be in grave danger!!!" Harry said loudly. "We must warn them! Lucius Malfoy is too much! Hermione really is a pureblood." Harry said angrily, crushing the paper in his fist. Everyone was flustered, thinking of something to help their friends who are in grave danger.
"Yes. We know that too. If only we could help Hermione...I bet some spies have already found them!" Ron said. Harry furrowed his eyebrows and thought, his eyes lit up,"Looks like Ron, we have a mission to accomplish."Everyone stared at Harry blankly.
