Draco & Hermione: a Romeo & Juliet story

Hey everybody!

Thanks for everyone who reviewed! I've just re-read my first chapters, and I realized that I couldn't make Dumbledore marry Draco and Hermione since I wrote that he was dead! Please help me find someone who will marry them! Or else, I'll just invent someone... Anyway...

Well, here's Chapter 7! If everything goes well, I will publish Chapter 8 before two weeks' time! Consider yourselves lucky! Lol. Enjoy and review!

Small Quote: God made guys first because he needed or rough draft before creating a masterpiece... Unknown, but one of my favorite quotes!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Romeo and Juliet even if I wish I was. If I did, I would be already famous…

Chapter 7: An engagement

At last, thought Harry, here she is. Harry found Ginny in the heart of the maze of the Granger's manor. He was exhausted. He stopped, caught his breath and shouted:

- Gin!

The red-headed girl turned around:

- What? And why are you all red and sweaty?

- I've been looking for you in the whole castle!

- Oh... Sorry. So... What's up?

- I have to ask you something about Hermione.

- Fire away...

- Have you noticed that she's... kind of changed lately?

God... He noticed... I hope that he doesn't know the truth! What shall I say to him?

- Uh... no. What do you mean?

- Well, when we were preparing that potion the other day, she had it all wrong! Hermione has always been careful and attentive. But now...

- She can be down from time to time, you know.

- Ya, but I have a feeling that there's something else! I mean, Ron is so worried about her... He said that he was going to spy on her!

- WHAT? I have to warn her! And slap Ron's face! How can he be such a jerk?

Ginny left running.

- Ginny! WAIT!

She stopped.

- What?

- Listen... I've been meaning to tell you that I was sorry the other day.

- For what?

- You know, the night of the Masquerade Ball.

Ginny laughed. She thought it would be something more serious!

- Why are you laughing?

-Ugh... For nothing... I just thought that you would say something else! Anyway, it's okay, you're forgiven... It slipped off my mind already!

- Well... I did enjoy that night, and if you might consider us "re-doing it", I shall be around...

He winked. Ginny's face matched her red hair. She didn't know if he was just joking or if he was actually serious...

- I'll see, she replied, smiling maliciously.

Ginny kissed Harry on the lips and departed.

- You KISSED her? You actually kissed her? GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I thought somebody took the Polyjuice potion or something, but you're actually admitting it to me! This is INSANE, CRAZY, MAD!

- Shut up! I don't want the whole castle hearing what we're saying, interrupted Draco.

- Right. Fine. Whatever, replied Blaise. I'm only doing this because I'm your best friend, man.

- Thanks, I really appreciate it, said Draco ironically.

- So, what's up with this chick?

- She's not just some chick.

- What do ya mean?

- Well... Know that I'm only telling you this because I trust you, okay?

- Ya, I know, go on...

- I... I'm thinking of marrying her.

- WHAAAAAAAATTTT?

Ginny caught sight of Ron, who was busy reading (well, that was what it looked like, but he was secretly spying on Hermione who was reading on the couch next to him). She pulled him up, and slapped him in the face.

- Ow! What was that for? he asked angrily.

Hermione, who had been observing all this, asked:

- What's up with all this? Gin?

- Did you know that this jerk is spying on you?

- No... Wait... WHAT? RON! Why?

- It's NOT true!

- Yes, it is. Harry told me... You better explain this one, big brother!

Bastard! Ron thought.

After their fight, Ron set off angrily. Hermione was not crying, but shocked by Ron's behavior. Ginny was satisfied.

Ron was furious to everyone: to Harry, because he betrayed him, to Ginny because she made his plan fall apart, and to Hermione because he was sure that she was hiding something form him. He walked through the corridor and saw Hermione's cat lying on the floor, as if she was guarding Hermione's room.

How odd, he thought. He took the orange cat in his arm and saw a small note on the floor. He picked it up and read:

Meet me at David's Creek this afternoon at 5.

Love.

Love? Love? Who is this from? I'll find out this afternoon! Ron thought maliciously. He put back the note on the floor, the cat with it, and left.

At 5, Hermione used the Portkey to get to the meeting point. She thought she would land in a bar or something, but instead she landed in a small cave. At first, she was scared and humiliated because she thought that Draco had played her a trick (you never know... After all, she knew Draco only for a month and a half). She heard waves moving, crashing onto the rocks. She walked into that direction. Draco was standing on the beach, his bare feet in the water, starring at the horizon. Hermione joined him, lacing her fingers to his. The sun was almost set. Draco turned around to face Hermione and said:

- I've asked you to come here because...

I know why, she interrupted him, I've never seen such a beautiful place. I never thought that the sand could be so soft, the sea so clear. After all, all we see on the news is pollution...

- No, that's not it... Well partly. But that is not the main reason...

- Then, what?

- Listen, you know I love you, right?

- Ya... she said, hesitating as she didn't know what to answer...

- So...

He took a golden ring out of his pocket, slipped it on Hermione's ring finger, and stared into her wide surprised, but nonetheless sweet eyes:

- Will you marry me?

Hermione was shocked. She didn't know what to say. It was very unexpected.

- I... Uh... Uh...

She took a big breath, thinking of what was happening to her.

- But... but... How will we do that? Who will marry us? Plus, we need witnesses and...

- I'll take that as a yes, then, interrupted Draco.

He kissed her on the lips as the sun disappeared.

Chapter 7 finally finished... Believe me, I'm not even at the half of my story. There's still a LONG way to go... Anyway, hope you liked it!
