A/N: I'm glad that these chapters are coming by faster than the first few. Although they are short, so was the movie right? An hour and 20 minutes. Short cute movie short cute fanfic. Hehehehehhe (smiles) So…its almost over…one more chapter after this.
Then I can work on Harry Potter Idol and So Far Yet So Near harder than I have been. Go read and review what I have now. I need people to vote on Harry Potter Idol. I only got two reviews V.V, T.T
So, here's the sixth chapter!
Draco and Hermione sat down on the stoop of Hermione's parents' house. Hermione laughed at something he said. Then, the conversation turned serious. "What made you say yes to me?" asked Hermione curiously.
"The sound of your voice," answered Draco. He looked over at her with gray eyes.
"Desperation?" laughed Hermione. She looked at him and met his eyes with her brown ones.
"Hope."
"Get a move on you love-birds! I'm getting married in the morning!" shouted Harry as he and Kelsey drove by in a car. He was shouting about them getting to the summer home already. The family was having a little picnic by the lake. Smiling, the two got into a car and drove to the summer home.
"Has anyone seen my future wife? If I don't serve her first, she'll be furious," asked Harry while Hermione, her father, and Tina played cards. Draco watched. Hermione stood up and put her fists on her hips.
"Have you guys ever had an honest to God fight?" Hermione laughed and pushed her best friend gently.
"No, we haven't," said Harry. "And I've heard that make-up sex is the best kind…not that I'm ever gonna find out."
"Ok," said Hermione as Tina stood up. "Gimme your wienie Harry!" She yelled as Harry covered the plate of hot dogs with his arm.
"No! Go away!" said Harry as he ran away from the girls.
Draco laughed, shaking his head. "Your good with women," he heard Mr. Granger say. Draco looked at him. "Why don't you go rustle up the bride and get her to join us."
"Why are you telling me this?" cried Kelsey. Ron had her hands in his. "I love Harry."
"I just need to know-" said Ron before Draco came in. Ron's eyes stared at Draco in shock and dropped Kelsey's hands, "blue or white shirt to the wedding," finished Ron as he brushed past Draco, leaving the boathouse.
Draco stared at him, then looked at Kelsey with curious eyes, "Do you believe a place has a memory? Even before me and Harry started dating, the four of us used to come down her all the time," Kelsey told him. She grabbed a pillow and sat down on a chair. "Let's hope it doesn't remember everything."
"Um…Hermione? Can I talk to you?" asked Ron. Hermione, about to answer, was interrupted by her mother.
"You stole eight years of my daughter's life with your bullshit and you just want to talk to her? Go ahead," retorted her mother as she drank her wine. Ron walked away.
"Mom, a little less info next time," Hermione whispered and followed Ron.
"I don't know how to say this," muttered Ron as he racked his brain for a way to tell her. "Sometimes things happen that one can't explain or stop. Sometimes things happen for a reason or by fate."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Hermione-" Ron laughed nervously. He stopped talking when Hermione's eyes weren't looking at him, but behind him. "You're not even listening to me!"
"E-Excuse me," said Hermione. Behind Ron, on top of a nearby hill stood Draco. He looked worried. Hermione ran up to him. "Hey, what's wrong?"
Draco stared at her for a second and then shook his head. "Nothing's wrong," he said as he grabbed her hand and kissed her palm. Hermione smiled and they walked back to the picnic.
Hermione laughed at something her mother had said. The family, Harry, Ron, and Draco sat outside, having a luncheon. Tomorrow was the big day for Kelsey and Harry.
"I'm going to get some more wine," laughed Hermione. She stood up and grabbed three empty bottles. Ron stood, grabbing two bottles, and followed Hermione. Draco watched for a second and then followed slowly and quietly.
Hermione scanned the rows and columns of wine for the ones she wanted. Ron followed her, "I though…sorry…I feel like I owe you an explanation…"
"Hey, look, everything is fine…truthfully, I brought Draco here…to torture you…for the whole weekend," said Hermione. She pulled out a wine bottle. "But, something happened…I hope this doesn't hurt your feelings, but I'm sick of you and me." From the doorway, Draco smiled and went back outside. Hermione turned and walked away, laughing. "Let's just go back up there and eat 'til we puke."
"I spelt with your cousin," blurted Ron. He laughed nervously.
Hermione stopped and turned around slowly. "Excuse me?"
"I shagged Kelsey. That's why I broke up with you. Then you left and we kept at it, until we thought it was morally wrong," explained Ron. "Then, after Harry proposed to her, I realized I'm in love with her." Ron stopped, expecting Hermione to say something. She just stared at him, shocked and hurt. "Oh, good Lord, say something, please." Hermione just stared and walked away slowly.
Tina ran up to Hermione once she was out of the house and back to the party. "Oh my God, he's told you."
Hermione stared at her. "You knew?"
"'Mione…I'm so sorry," Tina looked at Kelsey. Kelsey got up and rushed over to her. Hermione just glared.
"Hermione, I am so sorry," said Kelsey. Hermione just walked away from her, too disgusted to speak to her. Draco pushed his way through Ron and Kelsey and hugged Hermione. Hermione hugged him back. "I can't believe you told her!" Kelsey said to Draco. He looked at her and back at Hermione. Hermione stared at him and pushed him away. Draco glared at Kelsey.
Thunder rolled in the sky and it began to rain. Hermione turned around and ran off. Draco followed her. It began to pour, soaking the party and the guests.
"Leave me alone. I can't believe you didn't tell me," cried Hermione. She slowed down to a fast pace walk.
"Stop," called Draco. He finally caught up with her.
"I can't believe I trusted you."
"Come on, you gotta stop running."
Hermione stopped and turned to face him. "How could you not have told me?"
"What did you expect me to say?" asked Draco defensively.
"You let me make a fool of myself. You lied to me. I guess I should be surprised, huh?" cried Hermione. She crossed her arms over her chest. "Because that's who you are. Once a Malfoy, always a Malfoy."
Draco stared at her for a second. "Oh yeah, judge me Hermione. That's a good one. Point a finger at me, the guy you paid to be your boyfriend."
"You're right," cried Hermione. "You're right. I wanted everyone to believe that I was happy, I paid 6,000 galleons for a lie and at the end of the day, the only one falling for it, was me. I wish I can say it was worth it."
"Yeah, hate me Hermione," said Draco. He was about to walk away, but stopped. "I think your running a little low on energy on this whole Ron thing. Maybe now you'll be able to hold onto this long enough to ruin your next relationship." Draco turned around and left Hermione crying in the rain.
Draco walked out of the lake house. His bags where slung over his shoulders. Harry followed him. "Draco?"
"I'm just checking into a hotel."
"Don't be stupid," said Harry, ignoring Draco's glare. He threw Draco the keys. "Take the car."
Draco caught the keys with ease. "Thanks Harry," he muttered and walked toward the car.
Harry hesitated for a moment. He looked around. "Actually, the boathouse is empty." He threw Draco the keys. Draco looked up just in time to catch them. "I don't know what happened between you two, but I've never seen Hermione so happy." Draco looked at him weirdly. "I mean, you could be more prefect unless she paid you." Draco looked down and got into the car.
"Thanks Harry," said Draco and he pulled out of the driveway and drove down to the boathouse.
