19) Confessions

Hermione, Malfoy, Harry, and Ron were all sitting around a circular table on the Promenade. They were all dressed in casual clothing and were drinking from tall glasses of soda. Every few seconds, they would glance around, looking for the mysterious young man, who they had met the night before.

"I see we're all here." Said a voice from behind Hermione. She turned around and she was greeted by Andre. He pulled a chair and sat down. Everyone was very tense and they waited for him to say something. Hermione broke the uncomfortable silence.

"Well, aren't you going to say something to us?" she asked. He looked at her and nodded.

"Yes, I was. The thing is, its kind of complicated to explain." He began. Everyone sat quietly and began listening to him as he told his tale. "We were all good friends. There were several of us, firstly, it was me, then Thomas, and there was Adele, Pierre, and Luce. We went to the same school, and we all were known as the gang. We were always together. Anyway, Lucie and Thomas had big crushes on each other, and so one day, Pierre, Adele, and I hooked them up on a date. Their relationship blossomed and soon they were the most popular couple on campus. One night, Thomas was fooling around with Adele and Lucie caught them. I was crushed because Adele was my girlfriend for a few years. Instead of telling me, Lucie ran to Pierre and she began going with him on the side. She pretended that she didn't know about Thomas' fling with Adele, and he thought that she didn't know, and so he went on unknowingly. Lucie got word that she was moving to England and so she became scared, she tried talking Pierre into coming with her but he refused, and then she went to Thomas, she wanted him to go with her and then he agreed, despite the fact that his father, Lucius Malfoy, might object. They went to England, and she began to forget about Pierre, that was at least until he came back. She went back into Pierre's arms, and then she realized that she didn't love Thomas anymore. She wanted to marry him and then with Pierre's help, kill him, so she would get his money and then she would be even more rich. She would go and live with Pierre and she would be independent of her Mama, she always detested Mama."

"Wait, so where were you and Adele during all of this? And how do you know what she was going to do?" Hermione asked. He sighed.

"Lucie and I were very close, in a friendly sort of way, and well, she used to write letters to me all the time. She told me of her affair with Pierre and everything, she was the one who told me about Adele. We had broken up and she had moved to Scotland, so she had nothing really to do with the accident." He took a deep breath and grabbed an empty glass. He poured water from a pitcher into his glass and he took a long drink. Malfoy looked at him and then he looked at Hermione. She smiled tiredly at him and he touched her hand. Harry and Ron were silent. They were in awe at the tale that was being spun. Andre put down his glass and resumed his story.

"Thomas and Lucie were in a car accident where Thomas died and Lucie was crippled. She had no idea that she would have been hurt, and so she was put in a wheelchair, having no more use for her legs. She was taken care of by Pierre and then he proposed to her. And now we are where we are today. But what I don't understand is why she is after you two." He said turning to Hermione and Malfoy. He looked at them and sighed.

"Well, I don't know about me, but, Draco is a Malfoy, and well, I guess that maybe its revenge for what Thomas did to her." Hermione said. A look of surprise passed on Andre's face then quickly faded.

"I didn't know that you were a Malfoy also." He said quietly. "That explains the resemblance." He said. Then Harry spoke up.

"So that means that you had a brother?" he asked Malfoy. Malfoy nodded. They all became quiet again.

"Well why don't you just turn her in?" Ron asked. A pained look came on his face.

"I would like to but you see there is a problem. Adele and I were a notorious couple, and well, we did some bad things…that…I don't want people to really know about…things that Lucie and Pierre know." He said.

"So you mean that you're going to sit here with all this information and you're not going to turn them in?" Ron asked. Andre looked down.

"I've decided to tell you all of this so you can help yourself. I'm…I'm leaving for Scotland tonight." He said. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"You're such an idiot!" she said. He looked at her and she looked back at him. "What the hell are we supposed to do about this now?" she asked. He shrugged.

"I'm sorry, but I have to leave now…" he said. Hermione stood up and watched him as he walked away. She clenched her fists and then Malfoy stood up and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry about it." He said. She looked at him and sighed.

"Can we walk?" she asked. He nodded and took her hand. "You guys know where to go. Jut stay away for Lucie." She said. Harry and Ron nodded and they looked at Malfoy and Hermione as they walked away.

"You know 'arry, its such a sad thing." Ron said.

"What?" asked Harry.

"Hermione is in this big mess, all because of that slime ball." He said. Harry rolled his eyes.

"Ron, you need to get a life…" he said.

"No I don't." he said.

"Yes you do." Said Harry.

"Please…"

"Hey look, she's really cute. Get her number." Harry said pointing to a girl up ahead. Ron smiled mischievously and stood up to get the girl's number.

20) Nothing At All

Hermione and Malfoy were walking along the Promenade. There were many people milling about and taking in the sunlight and the fresh scent of the sea that was right under their feet. They went over to the railing and they stood quietly watching the huge expanse of water ripple and dance with the wind. They were still holding hands and then Malfoy turned to look at her.

"I got you into this mess didn't I?" he asked. She shook her head.

"Of course not." She said. He looked at the water.

"Its my stupid brother." He said. She shook her head.

"No, its Lucie. I don't know why she hates me." She said.

"She doesn't hate you."

"So why is she doing this? Why is she trying to ruin my life?" she asked. He looked at her and shrugged.

"I don't know Hermione, I honestly don't. But I will always be there to protect you." He said taking her hand and kissing it. She smiled and blushed.

"I hope so." She said with a laugh. They continued looking at each other and then Malfoy looked away.

"So what do we do now?" he asked. She shrugged and looked away.

"I guess we just wait…and…do nothing…" she said. She shivered as a cold breeze passed and they stood in silence.

Hermione and Malfoy were sitting on the couch. Harry was reading a book, and Ron was dozing on another chair. Malfoy's head was in Hermione's lap, and her hand was resting on his stomach. Two days had passed since Andre had left and they all had nothing in particular to do. Time was counting down for the festival and the wedding. They had no idea what they were going to do and no more attempts on their lives had happened. The room was quiet until the door opened and a servant came in. He was carrying a piece of parchment and he went over to Hermione and handed her a piece of Parchment. She unrolled it and saw that it was a note from Mama.

Hermione meet me in the Library in the west wing.

Mama.

Hermione got up and went to the door.

"I'll be back." She said to Malfoy. He nodded lazily and watched her as she made her way out of the room.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Hermione made her way down the hallway and wondered why Mama would want her there, when she realized that she had left her wand. She turned around to get it and she saw Malfoy coming up behind her with her wand. "Thanks." she said. 'Why don't you come with me?" she asked. He nodded and then began walking beside her. They reached the library and then Hermione went in. "I'll be back." She said. He smiled at her and nodded.

"Sure," he said. Hermione entered the room and she was greeted by Mama, Lucie, and Pierre.

"It is time." She said to Hermione. Hermione looked at Lucie and Pierre who both were looking at her like hawks. "Hermione brings to you Lucie, the gift of walking." Mama said. Lucie rolled her eyes and snapped at Hermione.

"Well come and heal me. I now know what it is you were here for." Lucie said coldly. Hermione stared at the wand in her hand and wondered if she should heal her. The decision now lay in her hands and in her heart.

A/N:

Ok, ok I know that the "hands and heart" thing was really corny, but hey. Please don't get scared, just because Lucie might get healed, that doesn't mean that her attitude will change toward Mione and Draco. I've just spent about an hour brainstorming and hitting my head on the monitor and the keyboard thinking of what to do next. I have a wonderful idea and it seems to be coming along nicely…

Other than that, this was just an update. Also, I have a question so please when you review, answer it. Should I continue on the story in a little spin-off after the holiday is over? I want to explore Draco and Hermione's relationship in school a little. Does that sound corny? Please let me know. I need to know your opinions so I can start writing faster. Thanks for the reviews. Peace. Saiya-jin Girl…Laana B…^_^

A Poem

As the moon began to rise in the sky

I saw your picture on my heart

And I remembered all the things

That you had told me and all

The lies that you fed me.

I can't believe I believed you.
