Here's the next chapter thanks for waiting!

The next day all anyone could talk about was the ball and what they were going to wear and who they would go with and who they would go as. Draco and Hermione were of course already going together and they just needed to decide who to go as although Hermione already had an idea.

Harry was happy about the ball and the fact that he would be attending it with Meaghan but frankly all Valentines Day bought for him were bad memories and lost loves. Harry had never really gotten over Cho and he wasn't sure if she felt the same way, But Harry knew he loved Meaghan more than he ever loved Cho but he still wondered would things be different if they never called it off?

Ron however was probably now the happiest man on earth. He had a loving girlfriend he had two great friends he knew that this year would probably outdo the rest of them. He and Olivia were way ahead of the rest of the couples they had already decided who they were going to go as the only problem now was Olivia didn't know what to wear but it didn't bother her too much.

Hermione, Draco, Amanda, Alisha and Maria now spent countless hours' going over the plans for the ball; they wanted to be sure that they didn't miss anything and that everything would be perfect. For the last couple of meetings though Hermione's mind had been elsewhere. She was worried because a week or two after the ball will be the day that they lost Sirius and they all needed to help him take his mind off it Hermione's thought were yet again disturbed by Draco.

"Hermione are you listening?" He asked.

"Yes-sorry I was just off in my own little world…What were we talking about?" She asked.

"Well Alisha just suggested that we should have a costume competition so then everyone would make an effort in getting dressed up" he said.

"I think that's a wonderful idea" Hermione said beaming at them all.

"Great then it's settled" Alisha said.

"Well we really should be going" Maria said checking the clock on the wall.

"Yeah we don't want filch to catch us" Amanda said standing up and gathering her things.

"Ok well why don't we give the ball planning a rest for a while" Hermione said.

"Ok cool…Well I better go see you's later" Maria said walking off.

"Yeah we'd better go to" Alisha said to Amanda who nodded.

"Yeah okay bye" Amanda said walking out with Alisha behind her.

"Let us know when you want to start planning again" Alisha said.

"We will Bye" Draco said as they walked out of the portrait hole.

He turned to Hermione.

"So Hermione would you care to tell me who or what you were thinking about before?" He asked.

"Oh that it's nothing" Hermione said.

"Hermione" Draco pushed.

"Draco…just leave it for now okay" Hermione said softly.

"Well alright…only cose I love you too much" He said kissing her.

"I love you to" She said kissing him once more before heading off for bed.

Draco stayed up late that night thinking about Hermione. She and been zoning out a lot and she was talking to him less and less each day.

'Maybe she is still angry with you for what you did' A voice said in Draco's head.

'No it can't be she said she was fine with it' another voice said.

'Maybe she was lying' the first voice said.

That stuck in Draco's head was she lying to him? Did she still blame him for what happened? It would explain a lot. But how then could he convince her to forgive him?

'Maybe you don't have to' the first voice spoke again.

'What do you mean' Draco asked the voice.

'Maybe you could just make her….forget' it had said its last words and they stuck with him also 'Make Her Forget'. That was it all he had to do was erase her memory of it all. Draco got up from his bed and walked over to Hermione's the moon was shinning on her face and she looked beautiful. Draco smiled and then felt guilty about what he was about to do. But he had to make her forget and forgive. He raised his wand and muttered and memory spell. Ten seconds and it was done Hermione's memory of the night when he tried to kill her was gone and she would never find out…or would she?

Hermione awoke the next day with the sun shinning on her face. She got out of bed and got ready for her classes. She looked down at her timetable 'Potions with the Slytherin's' something about this made her feel a bit funny but she decided to push it all away. After she got ready she went over to Draco's bed to wake him.

"Wake up sleepy head" she whispered in his ear.

Almost instantly he shot out of his bed looking around in fright then he saw Hermione and he smiled.

"Good morning Hermione" Draco said sleepily.

"Good morning Draco" she said mimicking his sleepiness.

"Someone stayed up late last night" she said.

"Yeh I had some things to do" He said rather quickly.

"Well I'm going to head down to breakfast I'll see you at potions" Hermione said before kissing Draco and walking out of the room. As soon as she left Hermione's mind went back to Harry and Sirius she knew she had to get his mind off it as the day was getting closer. Hermione walked into the Great Hall and went to go sit by Harry and Ron.

"Hey Herms" Ron said when he saw her.

"Hey Herms" Harry said.

"Hello…I asked you not to call me that" she said.

"Sorry Herms" Rons said smiling.

"Yeh sorry Herms" Harry said laughing.

"Fine then do what you want I don't care" Hermione said turning to her toast.

After breakfast was over they went to potions which wasn't very exciting. Neville (Surprise Surprise) blew up his potion causing everyone to laugh and Snape to give him a detention. Hermione thought the day went very quickly they went through DADA very fast and then she had the rest of the day off. Hermione was in her dormitory running over the Valentines Day plans by her self. Halfway through she accidentally drew a line down her face with her quill. She got up and looking in the mirror it wasn't that bad just a small line. Then Hermione saw something, something she didn't remember having. She looked closer in the mirror it was a faint scar that ran down her face. But where did she get it? She never cut her face? Or did she? Hermione packed up her stuff and ran out to the room. She was heading for Gryffindor tower. She had to see what Harry and Ron knew.

Ok I'll try to post more over the holidays! BYE!
