A/N: I know, I know, you all must SERIOUSLY hate my guts right now.

But hey! I'm updating now, right? Better late than never!

Disclaimed!

Here's a summary of everything so far!

Hermione Granger was found by Draco Malfoy in the prefects bathroom hurt and raped, it turns out Ron Weasley and Seamus Finnigan were the ones who hurt her because they are OOC and mad because Harry Potter is a star and was going out with Hermione Granger they did NOT do it because of any influence from Voldemort. Hermione and Harry break up. Hermione and Draco are slipped a love potion by some unknown person and have weird feelings for each other that are somewhat Potion induced. Harry can't bear to tell Hermione who really hurt her and tells Dumbledore. Dumbledore leaves Hogwarts for some unknown reason and doesn't deal with the problem, really besides a lot of detentions, Howlers from parents, and Seamus is expelled since he was the one who actually did it. Draco tells Hermione the truth in the UPC (Universal Prefects Commons, a place for 6th and 7th year prefects) and the next time Hermione sees Ron he's hexed to oblivion. Basically the rest of the school is oblivious to everything that's happened they only know Hermione was attacked and Harry and Ron are no longer friends.

Alright, now if something in there was not mentioned in the story, review and tell me! I've left this thing alone for such a long long long time it's easy to forget even though I read over the whole thing twice in one day before writing!

Chapter 21

School was almost out at Hogwarts. The teachers had just begun to start reviewing and drilling for the final exams. A lot had happened in a year though. Hermione Granger, who everyone predicted would become Head Girl, had been attacked (and unbeknownst to most, raped also). It seemed that no one knew who it was, but a certain Ronald Weasley and Seamus Finnigan had been "taken out" of school and were nowhere to be seen. Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin Prince and biggest bully of school seemed to have been almost tamed if that was possible. He was always seen wandering around school with a pained look on his face and he scowled at everyone

Well, almost everyone.

ooooo

Draco Malfoy had taken to staring at a certain Gryfindor girl an awful lot. He watched the way her ever-bushy wild hair flew about as she bounced from classroom to classroom with her body slouched over in an attempt to handle the huge pile of books she seemed to carry with her at all times. He watched as her usually pink luscious chapped lips would form into a smile when someone would say something, and how her lovely white teeth would be displayed. He could almost kick himself when he remember how it had basically been his fault that those precious white gems had almost been damaged because of a stupid fight he, Potter, and Weasel had gotten in, when he had still been the arrogant prick. It didn't bother him in the least anymore that she wasn't a pureblood or that she wasn't what his parents had planned for him. It didn't matter to him that he could be laughed at or scolded or even tortured for thinking these things. She was strong willed, hell, she'd started her own organization to help creatures no one, admittedly not even him, really cared about. She had punched him, stood up to him, and laughed in his face. She challenged him the way no one had ever had. He had rescued her, saved her, and comforted her when she had cried. He'd followed her to find out what she'd been doing during those long hours when she had disappeared. However much he hadn't wanted to realize to himself or anyone else when he had been committing these acts, he confessed it to himself completely and surely now. He was in love with the top girl of his class, of this school, of, well, ever. He loved the brightest witch of all time, the strongest bravest girl known to anyone. He loved the Muggle born with, Hermione Granger.

The saddest part was, she would never love him back.

Not only had he never shared his feelings with her, for fear of humiliation and rejection (for that matter he'd told no one at all of how he felt) he also knew that as long as he was in Slytherin, as long as his last name was Malfoy, and his parents were Lucius and Narcissa, and as long as he worked for the Dark Lord, the one his parents both were loyal to and feared, it wouldn't matter anything how much he felt for her, or how deeply those feelings were. She was smarter than that. He was even smarter than that. He knew how badly she could be hurt if he ever confessed these feelings. He knew the consequences. He also knew that she wouldn't give a damn about his feelings as long as he was a Death Eater, and the son of one of the most feared and cleverest.

ooooo

Hermione Granger had gone back (for the most part) to the way she used to be. She was stronger now, then those crazy thoughts of attacking her attacker. Taking justice into your own hands wasn't worth it. Well, except in the case of You-Know-Who, oh hell, Voldemort! She wasn't afraid to say it anymore. She couldn't be for the sake of Harry. Harry…Hermione and Harry had gone back to being just friends. Just best friends, the way things were supposed to be. Being together hadn't been much better anyways, they had hardly ever kissed or touched, and the feelings of love they felt? Those were nothing more than intensified bonds of friendship, and both of them had come to that conclusion. They were better off this way. Harry had taken a huge fancy to a certain female Weasley…and that was fine with her. The Weasley's, had been increasingly nicer than usual to her. After Ron Weasley had been sent to Azkaban (for the minimum sentence of 5 years, for conspiracy to hurt a fellow wizard/witch) they had invited her and her family over the holidays in hopes that there weren't any hard feelings, and there weren't. The Grangers were a smart family, Muggle though they were, they were forgiving.

After most of this drama was dealt with, she did notice something. A certain Slytherin Prince had taken to staring at her. A lot. He watched everything she did. It was slightly nerve racking. Actually it was supremely nerve racking to know you were being watched and followed. At first she had thought he was looking after her, he had saved her, but then it got creepy, and now, well now she was just used to it. He didn't follow her into the showers or into her common room or her dorm or anything, he hadn't tried to harm her or bother her in any way, he was just there, with a slightly dazed expression ever present on his pale face. With his eyes glazed over and always focused on her. She thought of it as being a bit odd, but after a month or two of it she was flattered. He'd even stopped bothering the first years really and hardly ever was trouble heard from him by the administration. It seemed the world had flipped over and down a somersault. It was strange and unlike anything most were used to, but it was good in a way. However, she still remembered that he was a Death Eater's son, and possibly, though she kept this thought deep within herself, a Death Eater himself. She didn't trust him. And however attractive she though he may be or however kind she thought he was acting, she would never let it get the best of her. Had she admitted to herself that she could possibly like this boy? No! Would she ever? Most likely not.

ooooooo

As final exams drew to a close the excitement built. Finally! Summer at last! Hogwarts had never been a happier place. Although bad news came in torrents, it at least seemed to have not been so bad. Less and less deaths were being heard of. More and more accomplishments of the Order and the Ministry seemed to be taking the place of the letters of family deaths or injuries. Less children had had to leave and some had even returned. The war was far from being over but it seemed, at least for the time, to be mostly peaceful.

And that was how the 6th year students left Hogwarts. Most of them happy, a few upset at the bad test results they had gotten, one or two completely love sick, and other oblivious. But in all, they were all excited about the new year to come. 7th year would be full of surprises and who knew what else, but it was their last year of children. After that not only would they be of age, they would be graduated and looking for jobs. A scary new world would await them in a year, but almost all of them were ready to face it.

ooooooooooooo

A/N:THE END!

Expect a sequel, sorry it took so long, I hope you liked it even though HG/DM never really took place, 7th year will have a LOTTTTT of it! I know this style of writing is slightly different then earlier and you might not like it or have expected it, but please, let me know what you think! REVIEW!
