A/N: Wow! The last chapter was really long, 6 pages in word. But anyways I'm not going to bore you with nonsense this time. Here is chapter 19. Oh this jumps to Malfoy Manor. Just wanted to let you know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco and I had been at his house for two weeks. Today I was outside sitting under the ok tree with Fred. We had been swimming in Draco's lake, it's heated(by magic duh); George, Jess, Tom, and Draco were still down at the little lake. Fred and I had gotten bored and decided to walk around the manor grounds.

"So, are you and George still in the joke business?"

"Yes and no?" I gave him a confused look. "Well, George still runs a couple of joke shops with Jess, but I got bored with it so I quit."

"Really? Wow! I never thought for a second you would ever give up on your jokes."

"Yeah, neither did George. But I fell in love with something more important than a joke shop, yet he is still in love with his childish ways."

"Oh, whom or what did you fall in love with?"

"That I must not tell you. For you shall find out soon." he said in a cryptic message type way.

"Oh come on, Fred. I won't tell anyone."

"I know you won't, I would rather you find out later than now."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Whatever. So how long has George and Jess known each other?"

"Well I think for about two years. I don't really know. George and I don't really keep in touch anymore, and I live in a town about 200 miles away from him."

"How did you become so far apart? When you were in Hogwarts you two were so close. Inseparable, in fact."

"Yeah, I know. Everyone thought that we would never be separated, but I just couldn't take it anymore. I had to get out and make something of myself, on my own, besides being the 'class clown'."

I nodded. "I think I know where you're coming from. See even with all this stuff that's happened to me, I sill think of being Harry and Ron's friends again, and sometimes I even miss them. But when I realized that wasn't whoI was I had to move on. Yes I still miss them at times, but with all the time I've had to actually think about it, it seems that all they did was use me."

"No, Marie. They really did care about you. And probably still would if they knew exactly who you are, but we had to erase their memory and the memory of all your other friends." he quickly covered his mouth knowing he said too much.

"What? You're the ones who did that? How could you, Fred? If you knew how much I cared for them and they for me, then how?" I started crying.

He looked away. "Look, Marie. It's not like we had a choice. Really we didn't, if we did we wouldn't have done it. Marie please don't cry. I'm sorry, I truly am." He took me in his arms and held me till I stopped crying.

"Who made you do this to me?"

"I cannot tell you that."

"Well Fred it seems that you have no choice. So tell me." I stood up and held my wand at his throat. "Now do you?" He shook his head. "Now tell me."

"Draco did ok. He told us to do this, or he'd have Ron killed. And even though we are on opposite sides, he is still our brother, and we had to protect him." I nodded and started walking in the direction of the lake. "Wait, where are you going! You can't tell Draco. He told us to never tell you."

"Oh, don't worry about Draco or any of his little friends; they won't mess with me."

He got up and caught up with me. "What do you mean by that?"

"Well, ever since I almost killed Harry and Ron, they've kind of been scared to piss me off."

He stopped dead in his tracks. "You… you almost killed Ron?"

"Yes, but not on purpose. See they attacked me, it was right after my powers started coming in, and I got really mad. And let's just say a light flew out of me and hit them both in the stomach and they burst into flames. They were in the Hospital Wing for about two months, but they're perfectly fine trust me. I've kept an eye on them and made sure that none of Draco's cronies did anything to them." I could tell Fred was upset, but then on the other had something else was bothering him; I just couldn't read it from his emotions. "I'm sorry Fred, please forgive me."

"It's alright, Marie. You don't have to apologize I know it was an accident." I started walking again. "Are you still going to talk to Draco?"

I nodded curtly and kept walking. We weren't too far from the lake and I could hear water splashing and Jess screaming. As I came over the hill I could make out people. Draco was laying on the shore; I stormed over to him and pointed my wand at his chest.

"Get up you moron." Everyone looked up at me astonished at this outburst. "I said get up."

"What is it, Marie?" he asked while getting up.

"We need to talk."

"Obviously."

"No one asked for a smart arse. Follow me," we started walking. "Fred you too." He nodded and followed close behind. I just kept walking until we were in some part of the woods that I was unfamiliar with, but I didn't care. I was upset.

"Marie, would you please stop and tell me what's going on."

I turned around. "Alright you want to know what's going on." he nodded. "Well I just found out why none of my old friends remember me as Hermione." He gave Fred and evil glare. "And don't even think of blaming this on Fred. I gave him no choice but to tell me, just like you did. Now will you please inform me of why it had to be done."

"Marie it doesn't matter. It's in the past, so just leave it there."

"Umm… excuse me. How can I leave it in the past. They were my best friends and you ruined it."

"Well I used to be your worst enemy and I always call you 'mud blood' but you forgave me for that and put it in the past."

"Oh and how do you know that." I placed my hands on my hips in a demanding way.

"Because if you hadn't then you wouldn't be with me right now."

"Well I have news for you, Draco Malfoy. I might have forgiven you for it, but I never forgot about it and I never will. And as far as our wedding goes, it's off until I decide to forgive you for this screw up. Which means that we're through until then also." I started off, leaving Fred behind. "FRED, come on."

He rand after me, we left Draco standing dumbfounded. "Mare, do you know what you just did." Fred asked as soon as we were out of the woods.

"Yes I do."

Miko: OH NO! What have you done? They can't break up.

Akida: Yeah I mean come on this is a Draco/Hermione story.

Kristen: I have the right to break them up, but yeas this is a Draco/Hermione story, and if you keep reading you'll understand.

Akida: What the hay this is so stupid. What's the point of reading it now if Draco and Hermione aren't together.

Kristen: Not the point so shut up. Anyways. I'm sorry that they broke up it had to be done. I hope you liked it. And I know it was short, sorry for that too. Please review. Oh the next chapter will be the last for this story, but the sequel will be up soon after I finish.
