Hermione made her way up to her room. This was the last time she was going to be in her room. While she packed her things, she remembered all the good things that happened here. She cried knowing that she would never be here again.

Hermione Ann Mulligan, Her mother and her father arrived at Mulligan Manor shortly after Hermione's return. All of her things from her old home were now here. But there were also many more thing, more expensive things, Hermione's room was huge! A queen size bed sit in the middle of the room with a canopy above it. Everything was a creamy white that reminded her of the place she dreaded most, the infirmary. Her mother knocked on her door and came in.

"Hermione, dear. You are able to change the color of your room to whatever you wish. For example, take your wand then say, I'd rather have what ever color you want. Here is an example. " her mother took her want out, and pointed to her bed. "I'd rather have purple." Then the blankets and pillows turned purple. Hermione was amazed!

"Thanks Mu- Mother."

Hermione was still getting use to saying Mother and Father instead of Mum and Dad.

Mrs. Mulligan then left the room. Hermione pulled out her own wand and pointed to her walls.

"I'd rather have baby blue!" and before her eyes, the walls changed to baby blue!

"I'd rather have blue." she went on until her walls were baby blue, her bed was white and light blue, and so on. There were 3 doors in her room, one was to leave and come in, one was her private bathroom and the next one amazed her! She had her own walk in closet! It was huge. It was the size of her old bedroom! She pulled her suitcases into the closet, or should I say room, and muttered a spell and all the clothes went to certain places in the closet. When she was satisfied, she went downstairs to find an owl. Once she found hers, Sophia, she wrote a note and told her owl to bring it to the name of the person in the letter.

"I hope he comes." Hermione whispered to herself while she watched Sophia fly through the clear, open sky. After she was out of sight, Hermione retreated back to her room and pulled out her journal and got onto her bed. She wrote all about the events that have happened in the last 2 weeks. Boy, did a lot happen!

Draco and his mother say in the Family room having their daily afternoon tea.

"So, Draco dear, what are your plans for this afternoon?"

"Oh, I don't know, what ever happens I guess. What about you, mother?"

"I think I might work on my garden. So are you ever going to let me met your lovely girl, Hermione?"

"MOTHER! She is not my girl! She's just my friend. And besides, I don't think she like me in that way." Draco spoke these words with a forlorn face.

"Draco, you will never know if you don't ask! Or even tell her how you feel yourself. I'm sure that she does."

"I hope you are right." Draco whispered to himself.

There was and awkward silence between the mother and her son. Then a tapping on the window broke the silence. Draco walked over to the window and opened it so the beautiful owl could come in from the cold.

'Who's owl is this?'

He reached over and untied the letter from the owl's leg. Seconds later, the owl disappeared into the clear, open sky. Draco unraveled the parchment and slowly read it.

Draco,

He knew this hand writing. It was so familiar, but who's?

How are you? How's your vacation going? I just found out some , well…um shocking news. I really need to talk to someone. If you can, please floo to Mulligan Manor, Hermione's room. I guess I'll be seeing you later.

Love,

Hermione

'Oh, I hope everything is alright.'

He reread the note over again. Mulligan, the name sounded so familiar. every time he read the letter and reached the end, his heart would start to beat like crazy. He knew that his feelings for Hermione were more than, well, anything he felt before. He wanted more than just a friendship. He liked Hermione, a lot. And he couldn't lie to himself about that. But he didn't know or think that she felt the same way. He came back to reality when his mother spoke.

"Who is that from, dear?"

"Hermione asks if I can go and visit her. May I?"

"Of course dear!"

"Alright, I'll be in my room and then I'll be leaving."

"Okay, maybe you could bring her back here!"

"Maybe… Bye mother."

"Good bye, Draco."

Draco made his way up the stairs to his room. He put on his cloak and walked over to the fireplace and grabbed some floo powder and got into the fireplace.

"Mulligan Manor, Hermione's Room!"

And with a bright green blast, he was gone.

Hermione was lying on her bed writing about her week, so far, the most interesting event was the news that she received a little while ago. When she wrote, nothing, or no one could bother her. She was brought back to reality though, when she heard a noise in the fireplace. She walked over to it and out came the one person that she missed dearly.

"Her….Hermione? Is that you?" 'man does she look hott!!'

"Yes, its me."

"Wow! You look amazing!"

Hermione blushed a violent red.

"Thanks."

"What are you, well we, doing here?"

"This," she motioned her hands around the room. "is where I live now."

"Really?

Really. Oh Draco, I've missed you a lot!"

"I've missed you too!" Hermione ran over to him and gave him a big hug. He held her tightly, not wanting to ever let her go.

"Now, tell me whats wrong?" he pulled back from her embrace, looking into her eyes seeing worry and excitement and happiness. Oh how he loved the way she felt in his arms. It like she was made to fit perfectly in them. And her scent, she always smelled amazing . How he missed that smell and her presences.

Hermione looked into Draco's eyes seeing worry. She knew that he really cared for her. That

brightened her whole day.

"Lets go outside, I'd rather tell you out there."

"Alright, you lead the way."

"Hmm, I don't know anything around here. I've only lived here for about 2 hours."

Hermione didn't even know her way around her house, no, its not a house, its more like a mansion. Draco smiled at her when she said this. She looked so helpless and innocent.

"Well. Lets just go outside and see what's around your manor. Im sure we can find something."

"Er. Ok."

Hermione and Draco left her room and walked won the long halls and large sets of marble staircases. The finally made their way to the front doors.

"This place reminds me so much of Malfoy Manor, you have to come one day. The only thing that is drastically different is the setting of the house. Its so warm and welcoming in here, while Malfoy Manor is so cold and unwelcoming. But mother is fixing that."

"Oh, ok! Lets go."

They went outside and the town of them looked around the area Draco looked off, far off and glared in amazement.

"Well, this is quiet a surprise, come here."

Hermione stood next to Draco and tried to look at what he was looking at, thought she couldn't see anything.

"What is it Draco?"

'Oh, I love the way she says my name.'

"Look over there." he outstretched his arm to a far off manor. "You see that manor?"

"The really big one on that hill?"

"Uh-huh, that's Malfoy Manor."

"It looks beautiful!"

"Well, I know my way around here then. Lets walk."

"Alright."

The tow walked in silence until they reached an area that looks warm and cozy. Well, not really, but it looked good enough for Draco and Hermione.

"Hey, lets sit here. I want you to tell me now."

"Kay."

They sat down on a log and Hermione began telling Draco everything. She told him everything from her mother and fathers relationship with Voldemort to her being a pureblood and everything in between. Draco just sat there with his mouth open. Once again, Hermione left him speechless for a second time is his life.
