Third chapter, here it is. Please, once again, enjoy and review.

…

Hermione and Draco entered the Great Hall together, everyone eating and chatting looked up and the room went silent. The sight was weird it self, Hermione and Draco together.

They walked in between the Slytherin and Gryffindore tables and finally reached the Headmaster. Dumbledore stood up and smiled at them.

"Sir," Hermione began but Dumbledore cut her off.

"Mss. Pattan," Dumbledore gave her a small smile, "Mr. Malfoy, I know very well why you are late. Mr. Malfoy, please take your usual seat with your table."

Draco did as he was told, before Hermione could move Dumbledore said, "Wait here Mss. Pattan, your parents wish that I announce who you really are."

Hermione turned and faced everybody; she saw Ron and Harry looking up at her with smiles.

The hall was silent, "One last announcement, those of you who know Hermione and those who don't there is an announcement that her parents wish for me to say." He took a breath; "Her biological parents are purebloods, it coming to a shock for all of us. Her name is Hermione Pattan so please make sure you address her properly."

The hall was still silent, Hermione walked to the Gryffindore table. Ron and Harry made room for her as she sat down. She looked over at Draco and he gave her a small smirk, it seemed his usual ass attitude came back since he was with his friends.

"Hermione, is it really true?" Ron asked, Harry listening in as well.

She took a deep breath, "I wish it wasn't, and you don't even know the worst part."

"What?" Harry asked her confused,

"I'm getting married to Malfoy."

Silent gasps came from Harry and Ron, looks of disgust on their faces.

The week went by smoothly for once, no Slytherin made fun of Hermione but now wanted to befriend her. Something Hermione found out about the Pattan family, they were rich. Her new parents sent her stylish clothes, shoes, and make-up. Hermione didn't really care for much of it but wore it to show she did kind of care for her biological parents.

It was like she went from a normal life to the life of a celebrity, it turned her world upside down and now everybody wanted a little piece of the know-it-all.

Hermione was in the courtyard studying on one of the stone benches, "Nothing changes, does it?"

She looked up and saw Draco standing before her, "What?" She asked looking down again at her book.

"You're still that book worm you always were, why not hang out with me?" He asked randomly.

She cocked an eyebrow and looked up at him again, "I'm afraid I never received an invitation to 'hang out with you' Malfoy."

"Well," He began with a smirk, "that's because before we weren't arranged to get married. We could at least get to know each other a little better. Come on, give me a chance."

She stood up and closed her book, "You have two hours before we have to be back in our dormitories."

Draco smiled slyly; they then began to walk, not knowing where but anywhere.

"So," He began the conversation…

It seemed like it lasted for hours, until that day neither of them thought the other would have anything in common. Now that they were both pure there was no tension between them… it felt just natural talking to each other after a while.

Hermione looked at her wristwatch, they were supposed to be inside by now. It was around eleven in the evening, good thing it was a Friday at least.

"Malfoy, we've got to go now… inside." She said, not wanting to go but couldn't stay all night out here with him.

"It's Draco, and yes Hermione, I know." He said, looking at his watch as well.

As they walked inside together there was sparks between them, it was like gravity, Draco didn't intend to but his hand went and slipped into hers.

Hermione's insides jittered with joy and fireworks, "Goodnight, Draco." She said sweetly to him, turning to face him but still had her hand in his.

"Goodnight, Hermione." He said with an actual smile.

"Why could we never get along before?" She asked him, praying he would admit he was wrong the whole time.

"Our different bloods, of course." He replied, and instantly he knew he had said the wrong thing because Hermione's eyes went large and her hand that he was holding was at her side in a fist.

"Our different bloods?" She asked through gritted teeth.

"Hermione, that was then, this is now. It's not like you were ever really a mudblood. Only if" He tried to explain but she interrupted him immediately.

"Only if I was a "mudblood" you still wouldn't be talking to me, there would be no sparks or anything! That's all it is to you, is blood! God Malfoy your such a stupid git! Can't you just admit for once in your life that you enjoyed being around me and that"

Before Hermione could finish what she was going to say she found Draco's lips on hers. They were soft and moist, his arms going around her waist pulling her to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck enjoying the moment of their lips connecting and disconnecting.

She wished she could freeze time so this moment would last forever, but everything has to come to an end, and so it did. Draco pulled back with a smile, his eyes twinkling in the dim light.

"I did enjoy being around you today, and I'm sorry about all of the other years I didn't know you. I was being a stupid git and now realize how great you are," he sighed sweetly, "Goodnight Hermione."

"Goodnight Draco," Is all Hermione could seem to say, she watched him walk down the dungeon stairs and then she walked to the Gryffindore tower. His taste still on her lips, her insides still going crazy from that feeling. A feeling she never thought she would feel for him or even at all.

It was like that kiss said 'everything's going to be ok, because I'm here and our life wont be horrible.'

As she walked through the portrait hole she found Ron and Harry sitting next to the fireplace. They both had no expressions on their faces; like something had gone really wrong or they were just worn out.

"Are you two ok?" She asked, her voice overly happy.

"How was your date with Malfoy?" Ron asked, and Harry immediately rolled his eyes.

"Leave her be, Ron." Harry said and gave a quaint smile to Hermione.

"What do you mean date?" She asked, her happy voice toning down. She thought she knew where this was going and she really couldn't handle Ron's fit right now.

"You and him, him and you." Ron said, sitting up a bit and his voice getting a bit angry, "After all the years of him teasing you and calling you names you repay him by walking around with him after dark?"

"For your information Ronald," She began, anger swelling up inside her again even though his scent was still upon her, "I was simply getting to know him. What business of yours to you have budging in my life?"

"OH, EXCUSE ME FOR TRYING TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!" Ron screamed, standing up. The whole common room was looking at him. Harry was sitting up straight now, his eyes going from Ron to Hermione.

Hermione's eyes filled with unshed tears, but soon they came running down her cheeks. She then turned from Ron, not knowing what to say to him, ran up to the girls' dormitories and finding her bed. She cried in her pillow until she could cry no more and fell fast asleep.
