Oro4: You have Ginny's ass kicked, BY HERMIONE! KILL GINNY! KILL GINNY! KILL GINNY! Pumkineers ALL THE WAY! and i must apologize once more, i know it wasn't great. But i'm working on a fic, where i know our wish will come true! tell me what you think about this specific chapter!

XXRoseDawsonXX: I'm NOT forgetting another shout out to THE BEST BETA! lol! personally i thought Cho should have gotten a worse kick! that's whay i inserted a little piece here. i didn't write it when you had the chapters, i only wrote that little part today (Aug. 8) tell me what you think about this specific chapter!

boredaurorchick: i know what you mean, it's like Cho's given us Umbrige-itis all over again! LOL! looking VERY forward to your second chapter! and i want to explain that McGonagall took 20 points, 10 for Hermione, 10 for Harry. Draco, like Harry, didn't really do anything either, and he got points taken away, too. McGonagall didn't see what happened, so she assumed, everyone looked guilty when they didn't speak, so she was fair and took 10 from everyone. tell me what you think about this specific chapter!

Kichou: thanks for following my fic, i also liked the part where Draco pushed Cho down. (otherwise i wouldn't have put it in) i wasn't going to 'cause it's "violence" from a guy to a girl, but, Cho deserves it! and Draco wasn't really thinking, not that that would have mattered!

gabbytheelf : thanks for thinking it was funny, i thought so too, in a weird way, i had fun writing that part, though not nearly as much as i would have if Hermione would of REALLY kicked Cho's ass! and about Draco throwing a punch at Cho, nothing would have been funnier for that, but read my A/N to Kichou.

Arwen12323: thanks for liking it!

MiSs HoBo099: thanks for liking my story! the plot is what i don't really like, it got SO tedius to write, but i guess it makes you readers happy, since everyone told me to not take it off like i had originally planned. again thanks!

hogwartsboyzrhot: Hogwarts' boys ARE hot! thanks for the review! (another new reader!) hmm...Cho 'attempting' to do something dangerous to Hermione...will she have time?

WOW! many A/N's to write to you reviewers! but thanks, i get more than what i bargain for, with ur reviews i mean.

Chapter 17: Forgive Me, Please!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dinner was almost over and few people were beginning to come out. All of them looking curiously and stunned at what they thought had happened. Harry let go of Cho instantly. Draco, looking at everyone around them, with a sneer, let go of Hermione, but not before he stole one last glance at her face; sad and angry at the same time. Hermione Jane Granger never had a detention in her life.

Cho groaned and stalked off.

But before she got out of reach of the students around the ground floor, a girl, Bianca, Hermione was certain her name was, came up in front of Cho and SMACK! Bianca's clenched fist came into damaging contact with Cho's nose. Hermione's eyes went wide, well that came out of no where! Hermione's mouth twitched at the corners. The two boys stared at Bianca in utter disbelief. Man, Cho's having a really bad day! (A/N: WHO CARES!)

"Always wanted to do that. Man, you should see the way she gloats about you, Potter. No one believes her, except that spotty friend she's got -- Marrietta, I think." Bianca smiled toothly at Hermione, Harry, and Draco. Everyone gaped at her. She laughed a bit, and went back to her friends, but before she got too far another girl shouted something. Harry was positive her name was Grace since they had been Herbology partners before.

"Can we get in line for this, Bianca? I'm sure there are many here who would love to!" said Grace. But Grace wasn't a Gryffindor for nothing. She wasn't scared if a teacher saw. A few points taken away is nothing if you get to deck Cho!

"Hey that's a great idea!" Shouted a girl named Megan. Draco turned his head towards her and saw she was the pretty Gryffindor he would have loved to "befriend". If she wasn't a Gryffindor than maybe more. He smirked, and looked at Cho to see what she'd do.

Lukily for Cho, Marietta quickly came to her. Cho looked at her, groaned and stalked off immediately towards the Hospital Wing; Marietta in tow.

Harry didn't let the fight screw up what he had come for. Nevermind the people watching, he quickly took Hermione by the arm and steered her down other corridors. Until they had left the commotion they came to a stop.

"Hermione I still need to talk to you–" at these words Hermione knew what was coming so she turned around and walked away. Harry quickly went after her. "Hermione I promise that this will be the last time. The last time." Hermione made no noise. Harry took that as a good sign; at least she's not walking away.

He took her hands; he had terribly missed their softness. He, reminiscently, allowed himself a couple seconds to think. This was going to be the last time he'd ever ask for forgiveness. He knew it. He knelt down in front of her, not paying attention to the little noise she made.

Hermione's head was spinning. She knew what was coming. And suddenly having him here, on his knees, would make things much worse, more than she could handle. "Hermione please, please, forgive me! I don't deserve you, but I need you! I do! Please forgive me! I can't do anything spectacular to gain back your trust and respect...your love...All I can do is tell you the truth: I am sorry!" The desperation in his voice was tearing her apart. She didn't think she could hold in tears any longer. It hurt her to have to turn him down, but she knew that that was what she had to do. He was close to tears himself.

"Harry, I can't. This is something that's very hard to forget...I can't." She couldn't hold back any longer. Tears made their way down her face.

"Please, please forgive me Hermione! Please!" His eyes were sparkly with tears. He was holding her hands tightly and looked up at her face like a hopeless child. His eyes, watery, liquid, green pools of sadness.

Hermione wrenched her hands out of his hold and turned away, her back to him, "I can't Harry! You betrayed me in the worst way!" She turned around to look at him. "You destroyed my trust! You ruined the love I had! It all fell apart, Harry! And no matter what you do! I will never forgive you..."

>>>

Why must I feel this way! Draco was laying on his bed. After witnessing what he had, he decided to spend the night in his Malfoy Room.

Sure watching Hermione and Cho go at it earlier had its merits, but following Hermione and Potter made his stomach lurch when he saw how Potter dissolved at the words Hermione was saying. God damn! The bastard was on his knees! And still she didn't forgive him! Then maybe she would never forgive Harry.

Analyzing this further he came to the conclusion that Hermione really couldn't ever forgive infidelity. Draco had resigned to the fact that Hermione would never love him, yet he hadn't even been aware of it. Until now. 'All you need is love', is a lie...Nothing can compare to this agony. Selfishly caused by one woman...One woman can be the destruction of this world...Wish I could sleep this all away...

He came to the conclusion that he had to do something, something to reverse everything that had been going on. One final act of...cowardice? Taking it all back like this is the cheap way out. But something has to be done.

He moved to sit on his desk. He brought out a piece of parchment and began to write.

Dear mum,

I'm writing because I wish you to help me. I regret that I have to resort to this

final source, but it's extremely important.

I know you won't question my wish, but I feel you still should know. I shall

tell you when I see you, but not now. Please do not tell my father about this,

as I am sure he won't approve.

I am asking you, with every ounce of the will I possess.

I need...
