Answers to my reviewer:

Secret Murderer: Thanks for your review! I think that Lupin marrying them is a good idea... But then I thought: what if it was Snape? It would be funny. Uh... Finally, I've decided that it would be Snape who will marry them but for another reason... You'll find out in this chapter! Things are about to get ugly... Lol. Anyway, keep reviewing, I'm glad to have at least one person who keeps reading my story! You'll see in this chapter if Ron discovered the truth about Hermione and Draco... Anyway, I'll stop chatting, lol. Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 8: Betrayal

5 o'clock. Ron had been waiting at David's Creek for half an hour already. Someone approached. Ron looked carefully. NO. NOT POSSIBLE. It couldn't be HIM! NOOO! Ron refused to admit it. Blaise Zabini? How on earth... Ron watched him sitting down at a table and ordering a butterbeer. NO... IMPOSSIBLE... Why did she have to choose HIM between so many guys? No, it just couldn't be him... It couldn't be...

5:10. Where was Hermione? She had always been right on time. Anyway, it's possible that she was late since she was acting oddly lately.

The door of the café opened again. Ron gasped. Harry! What was he doing here? God... If Hermione shows up, things could get ugly. Harry saw Blaise and frowned. He pretended to not notice him and sat at the furthest table from Blaise's. This one hadn't seen Harry yet. He was busing flirting with the waitress.

5:15: Ginny entered in the café. Harry waved and she stepped towards his table. Ron went pale as he saw Harry kissing Ginny... He really wanted to punch his best friend but waited for Hermione's arrival. That's when he realized that the note he read earlier was addressed to Ginny and not to Hermione. He fumed.

Zabini noticed the two lovebirds and smirked. He got up and walked towards their table:

- What do you want? asked Harry, trying to stay calm.

- You don't need to be so rude, I'm just saying hi to your hot girlfriend.

Blaise winked. Harry was furious.

- If you ever dare touch her, I swear...

- Please, Harry, he's not worth it... interrupted Ginny. Go away!

- Fine, fine, I'll go just tosatisfy you, sweetheart... I'll check you out next time that we're alone...

He winked again at her and departed.

Harry turned to Ginny:

- What did he mean by 'next time that we're alone'?

- I have absolutely no idea and I'm not looking forward to it...

- So, you've been alone with him already?

Harry's eyes were full of hate.

- Well... no.

- You're lying.

- No, I'm not!

- Tell me the truth!

- I am NOT lying! You would rather trust him than me, huh?

- I've known you long enough to know whether you are lying or NOT! This date is OVER!

He departed, slamming the front door. Ginny shone into tears. She felt bad for lying to Harry, but she couldn't tell him what happened in the cemetery...

He is going to pay... thought Ron.

The next morning, Viktor Krum was leaving. The entire Granger family was in their manor's hall, saying goodbye to him:

- Come and visit us whenever you can, dear, said the duchess who was very fond of him.

- I will, thank you milady, answered Viktor. Thank you for your hospitality, Sir. It was a pleasure to meet you.

- And I, you.

- I hope I shall win your heart one day, Princess.

She didn't reply. He took her hand and kissed it lightly. Then, he drew out his broom and departed, followed by his employees.

- Ginny, we need to talk.

- Fire away, Hermy!

- Okay, well not here in the Gardens. Let's go up to my room.

They ran up to Hermione's room. She locked her door and closed the curtains. She put a charm so that no one outside of her room could hear what they were saying.

- Wow, this is some kind of a big secret, said Ginny.

- Ya...

- So what's up?

- Listen... Um... I... Well... Will... Will you be my bridesmaid?

- Oh my God! You're getting married! Congratulations! To whom, if I may ask?

- I thought you'd guess! And it IS obvious!

- Viktor?

- NO! Why do you think he just left? And besides, I've already told you that I didn't like him. It's Draco, of course!

- WHAT? Well, I thought that it might be him, but... WHAT? You, a Granger, married to a Malfoy?

- Well...

- But... But how are you getting married? Nobody in this town will agree to marry you for sure. And are you completely insane? How do you know that he is the one?

- I... started Hermione.

- And, continued Ginny as if she had never been interrupted, I know that he's hot and all, but Viktor is too! I mean, why him? And why now? You have your whole life ahead of you, and you're getting married now? Get real!

- Ya... But I love him...

- Do you really love him? And does he lo... Oh my God!

- What?

- Let me look at your ring!

Ginny took Hermione's left hand. The ring wasn't really striking: it was simply made of gold.

- Oh, said Ginny disappointed, he didn't spend a lot of money on your ring...But why do you wear it? Aren't you afraid that someone might see it?

- Well, I was just wearing it now to see if you would notice. And it isn't as bad as you think it is. Look.

She took out her ring and showed to Ginny what was written on the inside. Carved in rubies, we could read: Forever Love.

- Aww! That's so sweet! exclaimed Gin, I envy you, you know. I wish that I had a Prince Charming too, instead of fighting with Harry.

- Harry? I didn't know you guys were something.

- Well, we barely are. Yesterday was our first date...

- First date? And you didn't even tell me about it?

- There's nothing to tell... Zabini was there and because of him, we got into a fight... Stupid really...

-Well, why don't you apologize to him?

- Apologize? You don't even know what happened there? Harry should be the one apologizing to me! This subject is closed!

- Fine.

- Anyway, back to the main subject. You haven't answered my question yet.

- Which is?

- Who is going to marry you? Nobody in this town will ever...

- That's why we're not going to be married here.

- Where then?

- Er... well. In Paris.

- PARIS? What for?

- Er... Do you remember professor Snape?

- Don't tell me that professor Snape is going to marry you!

- He lives in Paris right now. And yes, he is going to marry us...

- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! EWW...

After shouting of horror, Ginny busted out laughing.

- What is it? asked Hermione.

Ginny couldn't stop laughing.

- ­S... hahaha... Snape... hahahahaha... hahaha...hahahahaha... in... hahahahah... pr... hahahahahahaha... priest!

Hermione started laughing too. Ginny was rolling on the floor, her hands clenching her stomach because it hurt her too much. Hermione was nearly in tears...

When they calmed themselves down, Hermione continued:

- Snape and Draco are friends. you know how Draco was his favorite student back in Hogwarts.

- Duh! I know! But can we trust him?

- Well... I think so... But it is strange that Snape agrees that Draco and me are getting married. Anyway, that's the way it is.

- But... He hates you!

- Ya, I know... But maybe he's changed you know... Anyway, you never know what might be going on in his mind...

She didn't know how right she was... Snape was walking rapidly in the darkest streets of Paris. The Lord will be pleased, he thought. Ever since he saw Draco kissing Hermione in the forest, he knew that he could redeem himself to the Dark Lord by exploiting them. Marrying them would lead to the ruin of the two most powerful wizard families in Great Britain. Snape smirked. He entered in a deserted building, climbed some stairs and bowed to the man standing in front of him.

- All is ready, my Lord...

So what do you think? Please review and tell me your thoughts about Snape! Oh, and I need to ask you guys about something: In Paris, I'm planning to make Blaise (who is obviously the best man) and Ginny drunk and to get them married by mistake. I thought it would be funny. But that would make Ginny drunk the second time... Anyway, tell me what you think about this idea!
