Hermione hurried up to breakfast the next morning, anticipating seeing Ron.

Ron was missing for the past three days and no one knew why.

Now was the perfect chance to find out why he was not at school, and Hermione wasn't one to miss that opportunity.

Draco watched her run into the Great hall. No doubt about to ask Weasel were he was the past three days.

Draco couldn't help thinking about the prophecy ever since that night.

He didn't even want to think of what that would mean...

Draco watched Ron and Hermione talking. Ron looked really miffed at what Hermione was saying and Hermione looked like she was trying to reason with him.

"Ron, what are you saying? Why can't you tell me? We're best friends! I bet you even told Harry!" said Hermione, a little hurt.

"...NO! I can't tell anyone don't you understand? Dumbledore promised. Though I will have to say one thing, I was in the future. The future is a weird place," said Ron with a shudder, glancing at Hermione and then at Draco.

"What are you..." started Hermione. Hermione practically jumped at the intense look that a pair of grey eyes was giving her from the Slytherin table. He seemed to be lost in thought.

Hermione ignored this and turned back to Ron.

"Oh pretty please?" Hermione begged. "With sugar on top?"

"Sugar on top of what?" said Ron confused.

"Never mind," said Hermione exasperatedly. "Just tell me dammit!"

"Can't sorry," said Ron. "He let me put it in a pensieve though..." Ron put a hand over his mouth. "Ooops! Oh shit I did not just say that!"

"Yes you did," said Hermione smiling (Hermione does not smirk) evilly.

"Just don't go there please," said Ron pleadingly.

"Oh trust me I won't," said Hermione turning back to her cereal.

Harry stared at her. When Hermione kept quiet, he knew she was up to something.

After classes at five o'clock Hermione spotted Malfoy leaning casually against a wall.

Hermione couldn't help to notice how the light reflected in his eyes...

Hermione shook her head.

Draco seemed very annoyed by her presence. "What do you want Granger?"

"Fine, if you don't wanna know what Ron was talking about..." said Hermione turning away.

"No wait!" said Malfoy, clasping his hand against her wrist. "I -"

"That's okay Malfoy. Any way I found a way that we could go back into the future!" said Hermione excitedly.

Malfoy was a little annoyed that Hermione seemed to think he was apologizing, but was interested to what she was going to say.

Of course he didn't show it. He just looked bored as usual.

But very handsomely so...

"So what's the deal?" said Malfoy.

"Well I have a Time Turner," started Hermione.

"So?" snapped Malfoy. "A Time Turner goes back into time, not the future."

Hermione shook her head. "That's were your wrong Malfoy."

"Am I ever right compared to you?" said Malfoy exasperatedly.

"Nope," said Hermione, with a hint of Malfoy - ish arrogance.

"Ok, there is a simple spell with a time turner that goes with going to the future. You have to swish your wand and said "futura revelis," explained Hermione.

"Go on," said Malfoy with a yawn.

"Ok, so he probably did that spell on the Time Turner by accident! There is a certain swish to the spell," Hermione grew breathless. "We could go into the future, I mean."

"How so?"

"Well after seeing ourselves we could just tell Dumbledore of the future that it was a horrible accident and we need to get back. Somehow Ron got back," said Hermione, matter of factly.

"Don't you think he would expect that Granger?" said Malfoy, stepping closer to her. "Weasly already did it. He would think Weasly told you to do it. You know how it would ruin my reputation to think I took advice from Weasly!"

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Fine we will think of something. One way or another I am going there!" said Hermione confidently.

"Whatever you say Granger. Now if you excuse me I have other things to attend to..." said Malfoy trailing off.

Just then they heard a scream of "DRAKIE!"

"On second thought," said Malfoy, and he smirked evilly. Malfoy stepped in front of Hermione as Pansy was coming near him and kissed her full on the lips. Hermione was too shocked to respond. She didn't.

"Malfoy, what was that..." said Hermione breathlessly.

Pansy burst into tears. "DRAKIE HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING!"

Draco smirked. "You thought, was the keyword."

"What? You dumped me for this mudblood? She's a mudblood Draco! You know what your father said about Granger!" said Pansy hysterically.

Draco frowned and paled and then blushed a very, very, deep red.

"Ok, Pansy, no need to mention that now..." said Draco hastily.

"Yeah! Well too bad! What he said that "you constantly talk about Granger" and "your going to end up like the Malfoy 50 years ago that married a mudblood" and "Granger is dangerous"!" cried Pansy, tears literally streaming down her face.

Hermione's eyes widened. "What?"

"Forget it," mouthed Draco to Hermione.

"What? Are you trying to convince her its not true? Well it is! Expect a letter from your father tomorrow!" said Pansy, and with that Pansy ran down the hallway.

Hermione peered at him. A stare that went right through him, as if he was being x- rayed.

"Is that true?" said Hermione, demanding.

"Well.." started Draco.

"Is that true!" said Hermione, more demanding.

"Gosh Granger! Do you always have to be so demanding?"

Hermione shook her head and glanced one more time at Malfoy.

And against her will, she enjoyed his kiss.

(Is this good so far? Haha its not getting anywhere right now but it will soon, trust me! Review ! )
