A/n: Ok I wasn't sure where to take this fic, and have had a lot of trouble with writers block lately. But now it's gone (hopefully) and I can't write more.

Chapter 6

Hermione was being dragged outside by Ginny. Hermione was wide eyed by the time Ginny had spun her around to look into her eyes.

"Hermione, I know you are a smart witch and have figured out that Harry and I are together. But please do not tell anyone, until we are ready to let them know. Please?"

Hermione just nodded in shock, Ginny sighed and said "Thank you."

"How long have you been together?" Hermione asked as Ginny was looking at Harry through the double doors.

"About four months now. I love him so much 'Mione. He's so perfect and gentle."

Hermione watched as Ginny sent loving looks to Harry, who was at that specific moment, trying to keep Ron from nicking a sausage of his plate.

Both Hermione and Ginny watched the fight, and laughed. Ginny then turned and walked to look out of the window, with Hermione just behind her.

"Hermione can I ask you a question?" Ginny asked slowly.

"Of course" Hermione and Ginny were now facing out of the window, backs to the hall.

"How do you know, that you are truly in love? That it isn't just a figment of your imagination? I see the way you look at Draco. I see in your face how I feel about Harry" Ginny looked up to Hermione and back out of the window. It took Hermione a while to answer.

"I think, that once you find that one person, the one person who you love with all of you heart. You just know. I mean with Draco, I can't stop thinking about him when I am away from him; I never want to leave when I am with him. Everything reminds me of him, in one way or another. He brings out the best in me; he makes me a better person. He makes me whole."

She looked up at Ginny, and she had tears in her eyes. "Gin? What's the matter?"

Ginny looked up at Hermione "That was so beautiful; I feel the same way about Harry."

Hermione smiled "Then you will know, just like I do. That Harry is the one for you, like Draco is the one for me"

Ginny smiled and wiped away her tears and walked back into the hall, to talk to Harry.

Hermione just stayed, looking out of the window. She was thinking about what she had said, yes she felt it all, and more. But she couldn't help but wonder if Draco felt the same. She knows he loves her, he tells her most of the time. But does she make him whole?

She was lost in thought, when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. She breathed in the person's scent, the person smelt like a summer breeze with a hint of cologne. Draco. She leaned back into him.

"I love you, and I heard everything you just said to Weasley and I feel the same, and more. You make me whole; you make me a better person. You make my heart race every time you look at me, and make it skip a beat when you smile at me. You are my all, my everything, and never forget it"

He kissed the top of her head, and just looked out over the misty Hogwarts grounds. He looked down at Hermione and saw that she had tears down her face. He thought he had upset her.

"Hermione? Are you ok?" Hermione turned in his arms and kissed him, with everything she had.

Once they broke apart Draco looked at her and smiled, the smile that made her knees weak, the smile that made her melt. "I am so happy you feel the same. I love you so much" Draco looked at her with his silvery – grey eyes. They were so soft, so caring.

"I love you too. Come on we have lessons"

Hermione and Draco walked hand in hand towards Herbology. After the lesson they had to part ways, as they had different lessons.

"I am going to see McGonagall after lessons, and ask her if she would let me apprentice with her, hopefully she won't be too mad with me for not speaking with her this morning. Meet me by the library at around half six?" She asked as she hugged him.

"Sure, she shouldn't be too mad. If she does blame me, that's what I'm here for. See you later gorgeous"

He had walked her to her classroom, so she walked into her lesson. But not before watching Draco, walk around the corner and disappear from her view.

(A/n: Ok I was going to end it here, but I decided to give you all a long post)

Hermione made her way to Professor McGonagall's office, so that she could ask about the apprenticeship. She was almost at her door when she felt a hand tap her on her shoulder. She turned around to see Draco looking back at her.

"Draco? What are you doing here? I thought we were meeting by the Library?" She asked confused. Draco just smiled back at her.

"I wanted to give you a bit of moral support before you go in there." Hermione smiled and leaned up to kiss him, which he returned. After a few minutes or so of making out, Hermione broke it off, somewhere in the back of her mind. Something was telling her that something wasn't right. That Draco wasn't kissing her with his normal passion and lust. He seemed to be kissing her for the sake of kissing her.

Draco seemed to be able to read her mind. "I just wanted to wish you luck, I love you and I want you to succeed and get everything you want. That seemed more like Draco, but the unease wouldn't go away.

Hermione smiled "Thanks. I better go in. I don't want to be late. See you later?"

Draco returned the smile "Of course"

Hermione turned around and began to walk away. She heard Draco's footsteps walking away. Just as her hand reached the door knob, everything went black. She fell to the floor. Not feeling pain or feeling anything. She just wasn't conscious.

Draco was pacing in front of the library. It wasn't like Hermione to be late. She said that she had wanted to meet at half past six. It was now seven o'clock. Draco decided to walk the path to Professor McGonagall's office.

Once he reached her office he knocked "Come in." Draco walked in and noticed that Hermione wasn't in there. On the contrary, Professor McGonagall was on her own, grading parchments.

"Yes Mr Malfoy?" Draco walked a little bit further before stopping.

"Have you seen Hermione? She was supposed to meet me after talking to you about her apprenticeship, but she didn't show"

McGonagall's brows furrowed inn confusion. "I'm sorry Mr Malfoy, but Miss Granger has not visited me. She asked me this morning to speak with me, but she has yet to speak to me. Although I can say that I am happy that she wants to be my apprentice."

Draco's heart started to beat fast. If she hadn't turned up here and she wasn't with him where was she? Professor McGonagall could see the worry start to creep on Draco's face. "I am sure she is fine Draco. She has probably just reading a book and has lost track of time. When you see her, please tell her that I would love nothing more than for her to apprentice with me.

Draco nodded and walked out of the door, numb. Where was she? He walked to the Gryffindor common room. The fat lady wouldn't let him in so he knocked. Harry came and opened the portrait and looked confused.

"Malfoy? What are you doing in here?"

"Is Hermione in there with you?" He hoped with his whole heart that Hermione was there, he wouldn't be mad that she had stood him up. He just wanted to know that she was safe.

However Harry shook his head "Sorry mate I haven't seen her. Why?"

"She was supposed to meet me after seeing McGonagall. She was going to ask for an apprenticeship with her, and meet me after. When she didn't show I went to McGonagall and she said that Hermione hadn't seen her. It's not like her to not show up. I thought she may be here reading a book or something"

Harry could see the look of worry in Draco's eyes "When did you see her last?" when I dropped her off at her lesson after Herbology"

Harry nodded "ok hang on" He disappeared back into the portrait and after a few minutes of Draco pacing in front of the portrait, it opened again.

Harry, Ron, Ginny and Colin Creevey came out. Harry was the first to speak "No one has heard from Hermione, but Colin has seen her" He nodded to Colin, to signal him to speak.

"I saw her just outside McGonagall's office, I was walking past to the common room and she was talking to you" He said rather quickly, as if he were scared.

"What? I haven't seen Hermione since I dropped her off for her lessons. You must have seen wrong" He was back to pacing. He hadn't seen Hermione since he walked of for History of Magic. But why would Creevey lie?

Colin shrugged "I saw you, I even took a picture look" Colin produced a picture and Draco looked at it. Then sudden realisation dawned on him.

"That's not me"

Ron grabbed the picture of him "It sure looks like you. What have you done to our Hermione?"

Ron dove at Draco and tackled him to the floor. Harry and Colin dragged Ron of Draco. Draco was breathing heavily "I have done nothing to Hermione. I love her. Why would I do anything to her, anyway if I had done something why would I be here asking for her?"

Ron looked to Harry who shrugged "Its you in the picture mate." Draco shook his head.

"Look at my hand, the one covering her cheek. It hasn't got my ring on it" Draco showed his right hand "My mother gave it to me, about two or three weeks before she died. I haven't taken it of since. However it does not seem to be on my hand in the picture. Therefore it isn't me."

Everyone agreed that it wasn't Draco, but then who was it? Anyone could have taken a poly juice potion and look like him. But who would want to harm Hermione?

All five of them were stunned into silence. Someone had taken Hermione.
