To all of my wonderful readers! I'm sorry it took so long for me to update but my life is crazy right now with school! So here is the update.

Oh, all of you who reviewed about my grammar and spelling problems, I'm truly sorry! I will make it a great effort to re-read my story before I post it. I just wanted to get that one story out of there so you all wouldn't get all upset at the time consuming process it takes to write a story. I just want you guys to be pleased with my work and enjoy reading it. So please know that I took all of your reviews and all of what you said and kept it in mind. I'm not mad, I'm really glad you all told me! Thank you; what would I be with out you?

Ok, I don't have time to write you all individual 'thank you' notes, because I have to post this, re-read it, and then go finish a project that's due tomorrow. Please enjoy and review. I'll have my next chapter out ASAP!

One more thing! This story has different POV's… (point of view's). When the POV changes, it will look like this (Draco's point of view) or (Hermione's point of view). Got it? Ok.

…

After that encounter with Voldemort, or dream, whatever it was, it seemed to Hermione that she was always being watched. Even if no one was there, she felt eyes on her.

I must be imagining things, She thought to herself.

Months went by, and gradually everything went back to normal. Well, as normal as it could get for her now. Draco and Hermione became closer, both feeling love towards one another. After there first fight Draco decided to himself that he was being a child inside. Although, he never said it, he thought of Hermione as his companion. He would marry her, even if there marriage weren't arranged.

Hermione might not feel the same way; she is like my best friend… I'm probably just like Harry and Ron to her… just another one of the guys. He thought to himself, his thoughts pulling him into a depressing feeling.

(Draco's point of view)

I walked down the corridor to go to lunch in the Great Hall when I spotted her. She was with Ron and Harry, understandable. They were her best friends since first year, and now I'm her best friend too. It seemed weird how I hated her so and now I don't… doesn't it seem all pushed together?

I walked past her, lightly pushing my shoulder against hers. She turned and looked at me with her hands on her hips, she had a smile on her face though. Some of her brown curls of her hair came into her face, which made her have a mysterious look. The sun hit her face, which made her eyes sparkle their hazel nut color. I stood there, not breathing, taking in her beauty.

"You think you can walk past me like that, with out even a 'hello'?" She said in a playful tone.

This brought a smile to my face, it had been five wonderful months now, and it seemed like the both of us were getting bored of the 'arranged marriage' idea. We kind of forgot about it all, we were together and that's all that mattered. I was her new best friend, and that's it. Well, a best friend that she kissed every now and then.

"Yes, I can do what I please when I please." I said in a playful voice back to her, my lips curled into a smirk.

"Is that so, Malfoy?" She replied smiling a bit more broadly now so you could see the tips of her white teeth.

"Yes," I replied, "That is so."

She then dropped her bags where they were, Harry smirking slightly and Ron rolling his eyes looking away. She then ran to me and soon I felt her in my arms, I lifted her into the air and spun her around once. As I placed her back on the ground she embraced me with a tight hug, and I returned her embrace.

Later that night we were all having dinner in the Great Hall. Hermione was sitting at the Gryffindor table with Ron and Harry. I was sitting with my goony friends, Crabbe, Goyle, and Flint.

"Can I have your attention please?" Dumbledore said calmly.

The Hall went quiet at once; all eyes were now on Dumbledore who was standing up addressing us.

"Students, I have an announcement to make." Dumbledore gave us all a warm smile. "As all knows, Winter Break is coming and most of you will be on the train to go home for the holidays." He took a short breath, "This year, the night before you all head to your humble homes, will be a Grand Winter Ball! There will be dancing and eating! So please, come and have a good time! That's all."

Dumbledore was about to sit down when he turned back to us and said. "Oh, can I please see Mss. Pattan and Mr. Malfoy up front here for a moment?"

The Hall went into millions of conversations at once. I stood up, feeling my heart pound, I walked over to Dumbledore and Hermione did as well. She had a small look of worry on her face but her eyes shined with curiosity.

"Yes, sir?" Hermione said in a sweet soft sound.

"The Pattans' and the Malfoys' wanted to let you both know that their sending you your dress robes for the Grand Winter Ball, and that you will be spending Winter Break with the Malfoys' Mss. Pattan." Dumbledore said with a short smile, "Now, have a good dinner."

Hermione and I than went back to our different tables. I didn't know how to feel, it was like all of my free time was being sucked up with Hermione. It wasn't so bad, but a guy has to breathe once in a while.

After dinner, I went back to my dormitory. I found Hermione in there, but I'm not sure if she knew I came in. She was lying on her bed, crying.

My heart broke in two, or at least it felt that way. Why was she crying?

I walked over to her, I placed my hand on her back and she shook a bit, as if I surprised her.

"Hermione," I spoke softly, "What's wrong?"

Hermione sat up and faced me, she crossed one leg over the other and wiped her tears away.

"It's nothing, really." She said, lying obviously.

I wanted to laugh, but I didn't. I smiled though, only because I found it cute how she lied about something blatantly.

"Hermione, you can tell me." I said again, trying to comfort her.

"It's just that," She began, looking up into my eyes, her eyes bloodshot from crying.

"What?" I asked her, with warm eyes and a sweet smile.

"It's just that this is so unfair!" She screamed, standing up and walking towards the fireplace.

"What?" I asked her, partly confused.

"It's so unfair how you and I were just pushed together!" She shouted once more, my heart now beating a bit faster, "And now we have to spend every waking moment with each other! It's not that I don't enjoy it but I miss having time with myself! ALSO, IT'S JUST HOW THEY WANTED IT BECAUSE I ALSO DIDN'T PLAN ON FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

Hermione gasped slightly as she covered her mouth and looked over to me, my heart fell. She did love me, did I love her, of course. I felt an overwhelming feeling of joy and love for her. I saw only love in her.

"Draco," She began, but I ran over to her, hushing her up in an instant once I placed my lips on hers.

After a brief moment I pulled apart and looked down at her, "I didn't plan on any of this either, and I fell in love with you too." I spoke the truth.

She looked happy for a moment, then her smile faded and she walked away from me once more.

"Draco, can I ask you something?" She said in one of her shy voices, it seemed she didn't want to actually ask it.

"Of course, anything." I replied with a smile.

She turned to me and looked in my eyes, "What do you know about Voldemort?"

She whispered it, but I knew what she said. My eyes went large and my heart stopped for one moment in time. I didn't know how to feel; angry or understanding… she was a pureblood.

"What?" I asked, sparing some time for me to think on this.

"What do you know about… Voldemort." She repeated the question and my insides twitched.

What if I told her all I knew, what if I let her in on my knowledge… would she still love me even though of what I know… what I… am.

…

Ok, I really hoped that you liked this story. I have now re-read it over twice and I know it's all correct! Please review though and tell me what you thought. This wasn't the longest but it will be longer next time.

Yours Truly,
