Men Don't Change 7

Disclaimer- I own nothing! Nothing whatsoever! But that is ok cuz the plot is mine! And I use my evil plot to screw up the characters lives… and it works!

Ggffi- there will be a sequel… and this story isn't even over… it is only beginning!

Xxxsarahxxx- sorry I made you cry, but I had to find some way to get Don out of the picture and I thought of this plan to do that by… you know what… just read this chaper! Lol!

Thanks for the reviews!

Chaper 7- Don't

'What are you doing?' Hermione thought. It has been two hours since Don left and Hermione hasn't done anything. 'You love Draco… end of story!'

Knock, knock, knock.

Hermione got up from the couch and opened the door. Ginny was at the door holding a cop of the newspaper with Hermione and Draco on the cover and her facial expression was… like Don's.

"I thought you hated him…" Ginny said.

"Uhh… yea well I just figure just to drop the grudge," Hermione explained.

"Yea, I sure did pick that up! But why didn't you tell me?"

"It slipped my mind?" Hermione smiled. "Draco didn't even tell you?"

"Well if he did I would really like to hear it from my best friend too!"

"Well… we are friends again!" Hermione laughed.

"But the look on your face here says 'MORE than friends'," Ginny said pointing at the picture. "Just don't show Don this!"

'Oh, you haven't heard yet…' Hermione thought.

"Yea…" Hermione replied.

"Something's wrong," Ginny said.

'What tipped you off?'

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked.

"You know… what's wrong?"

"Umm… Don did see this already…"

"And…"

"Well, he wasn't happy."

"Well, duh!"

"Are you on my side or what?"

"I'm always on your side! What kind of best friend do you think I am!"

"So then you would understand that… I…" 'How to put this?'

"I would understand what?"

"That I… I broke up with Don…"

"HERMIONE!" Ginny freaked.

"Just listen! That was the reaction I wanted to avoid from you," Hermione said.

"What happened?"

"Just listen!"

"What?"

"Draco just… gave me a really fun time last night and that is something Don won't do with me…"

"Hermione Ann Granger!" Ginny was taken aback.

"Ginny! Not like that!"

Ginny looked relived.

"Ok, so what do you mean?" Ginny asked her.

"Like Draco took me dancing and out for drinks… Don won't take me to do that."

"Ok, then. So what was this contest you did?"

"That was weird! I had to go against this guy and we had to empty our beer glasses before the other person."

"You won, so I read."

"Yea, then I had to sing… while the guy…"

"Danced around the club naked, right?" Ginny finished. "Yea I read that too."

"It's in there?"

"Yep!"

"Does it say anything like 'Our Superstar Hermione Granger Goes Astray With Anonymous Person'?"

"Nope!"

(A/N- -Freya and Brynn laugh- yea that was just an inside joke… had to put it in!)

"Ok then…"

"So… that was your reason for dumping Don?" Ginny asked.

"Well… um… yea."

"That and what else?"

"What do you mean 'what else'?"

"That 'well-um-yea' was a 'well-um-yea-and-something-but-I'm-not-gonna-tell-you'," Ginny said.

"There is nothing else," Hermione said, trying to convince herself that there WAS nothing else.

"Spill!"

"Nothing!"

"Hermione… you like Draco again… don't you? I mean REALLY like him!"

"Yea, right!" she said in a sarcastic voice.

"Mi, I have known you long enough to know what goes through your head! You still really like Draco!"

"Ginny where did you get that idea?"

"It is written on your face!"

'Busted!'

"I'm right, am I?" Ginny said smiling.

"Yea," Hermione whispered.

"But I just wanna say that with Draco… yea he still loves you, but, um…" Ginny paused.

"He what?" Hermione could care less about Draco two months ago, but now she wanted to know what Ginny meant by the 'um' part.

"He is always saying that you are way better off without him."

"Ginny… do you see my face here?" Hermione pointed at her face on the newspaper.

Ginny nodded.

"I'm happy! I don't really remember a time when I was like that with Don."

Ginny just stared at her with a confused look.

"Gin… I love Draco."

'That wasn't suppose to come out! Damn you Hermione!'

Hermione covered her mouth.

"You WHAT!"

"Uhh… heh…" was all that Hermione said with a weak smile.

"You do?"

Hermione looked away and whispered-

"Yea."

"And does he know this?"

"I told him last night, but he said that I should stay with Don or whatever."

"Ok…"

"Everything is just so screwed up!"

Ginny nodded, still looking confused.

Friday night came…

"Thank you!" she said into the microphone just as she was about to put her guitar down. Then she noticed a familiar blonde walk in the doors of the bar. She stayed on the stage and said-

"Ok, here is a song that is for someone who is really close to me…" she made eye contact with Draco, "and that I love very much, so here it is…"

(Shania- Don't)

She smiled at Draco and wiped a tear from her eye. She set her guitar down and ran off the stage into Draco's arms. Draco wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

"I'm so sorry…" Hermione breathed into his shoulder.

"Nothing is your fault… I'm the sorry one. I let you go."

She looked into his perfect, blue ocean eyes and smiled. He smiled back as he went in for a kiss. Hermione's head was spinning and she just flew out of this world… his kisses seem to have that effect on her. She missed that so much!

Suddenly the bar freaked into cheering and clapping. Draco and Hermione totally forgot about where they were. They pulled apart and stared at everyone clapping for them.

'This was how my happy ending was suppose to go… and now it has!'

Hermione and Draco went back to Draco's just to hang out (or were they! Lol! Kidding!) and Draco found a note on his front door.

Take care of her for me… thanks

"I know that writing," Hermione spoke. "That is from Don."

"He must have really cared for you…" Draco said.

"Yea…"

Silence.

"Race ya!" Draco said playfully opening the door.

Hermione laughed and ran inside after him.

A/N- HA! It was a long chaper! So do you love me or do you love me? I didn't really give you choice! Now I need some REALLY BIG HELP! I need to find a way where Draco and Hermione are mad at each other but they are still living together and don't say anything with Don cuz he moved to Russia! Ok not really but he isn't in the picture anymore! So I just REALLY need an idea and DON'T WORRY I have a plan afterwards but I can't say cuz then you would know so I really, really, really, really, REALLY need an idea! Thanks everyone!
