a/n When Hermione was lying on her bed, she was dreaming about Draco's arms. When she was in Hogsmead, she felt Draco's arms. Just thought I should clear that up. Now, on with the story! Oh and Hermione doesn't know what her relationship with Ron is, she is just a little confused!

Hermione's eyes fluttered a little as she woke up, sunlight entered her window and she sighed. No, for once in her life Hermione didn't feel like studying. In fact she felt like going out onto the grounds and doing nothing. She got dressed and grabbed a cloak and walked out to the lake.

Lying against a tree Hermione closed her eyes letting the sun hit her eye lids. She listened to the sounds all around her, smiling for the first time since she had gotten back to the school. Suddenly the smile turned into a frown as she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. Looking up she saw Michael standing over her smiling.

"Hey, how are you feeling today?" He asked sitting down next to her.

"Great and you?" Hermione said to be conversational. What was his problem? Didn't he understand that she didn't want to go out with him?

"I was just wondering, would you like to…" He was cut off my Ron stomping over.

"Hey Hermione, how are you feeling today?" He asked, what was with people asking her how she was feeling?

"Great and you?" She asked him, and he liked Michael ignored her question.

"I was thinking, we have been friends for a long time. Hermione, will you…" But Ron was cut off by Malfoy coming over; he shot looks at Michael and Ron before smiling at Hermione.

"Hey, how are you f…" He was cut of by Hermione though.

"I'm feeling fine! Why is everyone asking me if I feel ok? I feel FINE!" Hermione shouted looking daggers at the three boys.

"We are just worried about you Hermione," Ron said looking at her sadly.

"That is nice, but I don't need to be asked three times in a row!" Hermione said calming down slightly. With that she stomped off leaving all three boys alone by the lake.

After his encounter with Hermione, Draco decided to go to the library to look up anything that could help Hermione remember him. All he found was a tiny section in one book that said the two people needed a very strong bond and to share a unique magical happening. What ever that meant, Draco had no idea. Finally he found himself day dreaming about Hermione.

About how her honey brown eyes would light up every time she saw him or something she liked. How a smile always seemed to play at her rose petal lips. Her hair cascaded down her back in relaxed curls. How her laugh seemed to bring the room to life and how everything seemed so much brighter with her in his arms. Oh, and who could forget there kisses, like magic! Every time their lips touched a soft radiance of pure light seemed to engulf them, probably some sort of ancient magic. Draco thought yawning.

Just as he was about to close his eyes he stood up abruptly. The kiss, a unique magical happening! That was it! All he needed to do to get Hermione to remember was to kiss her! It seemed all too easy, but that didn't matter. He would get Hermione back; he could get her to remember!

Like lightening he bolted out of the library in search of Hermione. Desperately he searched high and low for her. She wasn't in the great hall, of Gryffindor tower, not in the library, or out on the lake. Potter and Weasley hadn't seen her all morning except for the one time by the lake. She had just disappeared.

What Draco didn't know…

After Hermione had left the lake someone had followed her. Fuming about how stupid boys could be she mad her way to the library, but she never got there. Suddenly a strong arm gripped her shoulder and she turned around to see Michael.

"Oh hey," she said turning to face him.

"Hey, I was wondering if you had thought about being my girlfriend," he said looking at her hopefully. She sighed looking at the boy in front of her.

"Listen Michael, you're nice and everything, but you're just not my type," she said looking him in the eyes. Something dark and foreboding flashed through them and Hermione shivered.

"Really? That is too bad, we could have been powerful. Me, the new Dark Lord with you at my side. Pity really to waste such talent, but what's done is done. I can't allow Dumbledore to use your talent now can I?" He laughed a cold evil laugh and grabbed Hermione by the arm. "I guess I'll just have t take you with me and let my Death Eaters have fun with you." Hermione let out a scream that wasn't heard; laughing again Michael dragged her out to the Forbidden forest and disapperated to meet his Death Eaters.
