Note: the only reason Draco didn't go after Hermione is because Dumbledore told everyone that something had happened to Hermione e.g she went mental... you figure it out...

Hermione turned around and saw Pansy Parkinson walking towards her. Of course Isabelle didn't know Pansy so Hermione had to put on a fake act. Hermione walked over to Pansy with Madeline following. Hermione slung her handbag onto the top of her arm and smiled.
"Hi, Do I know you from somewhere?" Hermione asked Pansy.
"No we've never met before but, I recognize you because of the uncanny resemblance to your parents, wonderful purebloods. Met them at last year's summer Gala at my mansion, of course they said that you couldn't come because you went to Singing school in Italy" Pansy said with a smirk.
"I'm Pansy by the way, Pansy Parkinson" Pansy said as she stuck out her hand.
Hermione took it "You know who I am, this is my friend Madeline" Hermione said motioning to Madeline.
Pansy smiled at Madeline. "Madeline... I've never heard of you before, what's your last name." She said with an evil smirk.
Hermione cut in "Her last name is Rainelle she lives in Russia so I don't expect you'd know the family."
Madeline just looked up surprised but didn't say anything.
Pansy just smiled changing the topic. "So why are you here in Hogwarts Isabelle?" Pansy asked pulling up her skirt.
Hermione mentally made a face of disgust then answered Pansy "Private Reasons" Then ended the conversation. "So I guess we'll see you around Pansy" Hermione said with a smirk as she waved and went the other way.
Madeline caught up with her "My last name isn't Rainelle"
"I know" Hermione said stopping at the portrait of the Japanese Maiden again to pick up some books she had left in Hogwarts earlier by accident.
"Black Rasperry Vanilla" Hermione said to the portrait as it swung open. Hermione silently motioned for Madeline to follow. They crept into Hermione's room and Hermione told Madeline to pick up the box over there while she picked up the one over here,
Hermione motioned for Madeline to follow her through he portrait above the Head girl's bed into the Gryffindor Common room. They entered and looked around there was no one, and then they placed a spell on the boxes to go to the Corlucci Mansion. Hermione went up to the boy's dormitory's to find Harry and Ron sitting at their desks. Hermione went into trauma when she found out what they were doing. Studying! She smiled then went over to their beds and sat down she picked up a textbook and made loud noises when flipping the pages. Both boys turned around to see what the racket was about. When they saw an extremely gorgeous but unknown girl in Harry's bed they went over to confront her.
"Who are you! and what are you doing here in Hogwarts!" Ron asked pointing his wand at Hermione. Harry pointed his wand at her too just at the other side of the bed though.
Hermione just rolled her eyes at them then kept on reading "Honestly you two, it deeply saddens me that you haven't learnt that when you see a stranger on your bed you ask them from a safe distance away. I'm probably armed too you know." And with that Hermione pulled out her wand and disarmed both of them. Smiling with glee Hermione took all three wands and went into the common room with Madeline to read in peace and quite, Harry and Ron rushed down the stairs.
"Hermione is that really you?" Harry asked his eyes widening and his smile got bigger.
Hermione gave a smile and hugged Harry.
"Bloody Hell Hermione what happened" Ron said looking up and down at Hermione.
"Hello to you to Ron" Hermione said reaching to hug Ron.
"You've changed quite a lot in a few hours" Harry said to Hermione once they all sat down and when Harry finally had a chance to look at Hermione.
Hermione smiled and handed their wands back. They said a word of thanks. Hermione motioned for Madeline to sit down as well.
"Guys, this is Madeline. Madeline this is Harry and Ron" Hermione said introducing everyone.
"Hey Madeline" Both boys said in unison. Madeline just blushed.
"So you like your new family Mione" Ron asked leaning back on the chair soaking up the fire.
"They're alright and while I'm at Hogwarts my name is Isabelle... got that" Hermione said sitting up
The boys both nodded. "So Madeline are you Hermione's older or younger sister?" Ron asked,
"Neither, I work for the family. Miss. Corlucci made me come tonight to accompany her" Madeline said smiling.
"Don't listen to her guys she's my friend, and my fashion advisor. Besides Madeline you know more about purebloods than I do so you're like my mentor... let's say tutor" Hermione said putting one arm around Madeline. Madeline smiled but said nothing.
"How long are you here for" Ron asked Hermione as he conjured up a cup of Hot Chocolate for everyone.
"Until 11 "Hermione said as she thanked Ron and picked up her glass.
"I know, why don't you guys come and visit me during pre-exam break for the two weeks! I can help you guys study and you guys can keep me and Madeline from boredom." Hermione said clapping her hands.
Harry and Ron smiled "Don't you have to ask your parent's first?"
Hermione shrugged "They'll problaby say yess..."
"So does Malfoy know you're back?" Harry asked as he picked up his Hot Chocolate.
"No remember he doesn't even know my true identity." Hermione paused as she thought about Draco and his upcoming wedding.
"Did you say Malfoy?"
Everyone looked at Madeline as she finally spoke up.
"Sure did, why?" Harry asked sitting on the edge of the loveseat,
"We're invited to his wedding to Darlene something something... I can never remember her name, anyways it's held in June and the Malfoy's have already mailed you an invitation." Madeline said innocently not knowing about Draco and Hermione's relationship.
Ron and Harry both jumped up.
"That bastard!" Ron yelled as he stomped over to the entrance,
"Harry c'mon" Harry tried to follow but was stopped by Hermione.
"Don't you guys Malfoy isn't worth it, besides I've known about this for at least a month now." Hermione said hanging her head as she walked back to the couch.
"But 'mione!" Harry said exasperatedly as he followed her back.
Hermione shook her head.
"You know what, someone will find me here sooner of later, I better get going. I'll owl you two about summer arrangements. For now keep this to yourselves." Hermione hugged each boy and Madeline shook hands with them. Then the two girls exited out the head's portrait and found themselves in the Corlucci mansion within a few minutes.
Once Hermione got home she fell asleep immediately. Madeline changed and went into a connection room and was soon asleep as well.
"Hermione, Wake up!."
Hermione shifted and squinted her eyes un til they became focused. Hermione saw Madeline standing there with a clipboard that read of Hermione's day schedule.
"Good morning Madeline." Hermione said as she got up and pulled her hair back.
Madeline gave a nod "Today we need to attend a pageant and then we need to find a dress for you"
"Another Dress! What on earth for?" Hermione asked as she made her way to the bathroom.
"Well the Malfoy wedding has been moved forwards apparently because Mr.Malfoy has gotten out of school early. He apparently suffered a major breakdown when he found out that his girlfriend had left the school, wait till his fiancée hears about this one..." Madeline said checking her references.
Hermione stopped applying make-up "Oh..."
Hermione then went to the dresser and picked out another dress. This time it was a pale blue dress that went down below her knees. Hermione found a pair of silver heels and she fastened on hoop earrings. Picking up her handbag Hermione motioned for Madeline to follow her as they went down to meet her parents.
"Morning Isabelle " Her father greeted her once she got down the stairs. Hermione reached in for a hug with shocked both her parents. Smiling she swung her bag behind her.
"So are we going to go now?" Hermione asked cheerfully.
"But Isabelle, you havn't eaten breakfast yet." Her mother said coming out of the kitchen.
"Its okay I'm not hungry, can we go to the pageant now?" Hermione said as she twirled around full of energy,
Her father nodded. "I'll get Peter to start the car."
Hermione smiled as she ran outside. Moments later she was found being escorted into a flying limousine. She was then introduced to her two bodyguards Henry and Andrew. They flew to the pageant while Madeline had to go help her mother for a new dress and a cloak in Paris's Magical Chanel. Her father went to the bank to settle a few legal documents.
Once Hermione got out of the limo she was blinded by flashing lights,
Turns out that all of they were paparazzi, Henry told them to go away and Andrew helped Hermione get inside.
Hermione sat there for a while before scanning the Judging table and saw no one that she knew... except a certain blonde...
(Should I continue?... well I got nothing better to do...)
"Draco..." Hermione whispered quietly looking at the judge.
"Is there something wrong Miss. Corlucci?" Andrew asked as he looked over at Hermione.
Hermione just smiled and shook her head. Soon the contestants came out. Hermione barely noticed them because her eyes were only on Draco. Draco saw her looking at him but had to quickly turn away because they had to issue points. (remember she had an appearance change) As soon as the show was over Hermione quickly went out of the Concert hall, in fear that Draco would come over. Her bodyguards followed her. As she stepped into her limo she could hear someone calling for her.
"Excuse Me Miss!"
Hermione turned around to see Draco Malfoy running towards her. She groaned then retracted her foot and faked a smile.
"You left this on your chair," Draco said a bit out of breath.
Hermione put out her hand to receive her wizpod (ipod) which she had left behind in her quick hurry to get out.
"Thanks" Hermione said as she put it back in her bag.
"No problem, I'm Draco Malfoy by the way." Draco said looking at Hermione.
Hermione nodded "Nice to meet you, I'm Her...Isabelle Corlucci"
Draco's eyes grew wider "Corlucci! You're their daughter... so you do exist"
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Hermione asked in curiousity.
"Yes well my girlf... my co-head Hermione Granger got exempted from the exams in June and so did I...well after my father talked with them anyways... She just left... sorry I'm rambling on now aren't it..." Draco said with a hint of sadness.
Hermione looked down at his hand and there it was... The ring she gave him for his birthday... He was still wearing it...
Hermione gave a look of bewilderment then a slight smile. "I'll see you around Draco." She said stepping back into the limo.
"Wait!" Draco put out a hand to stop the car.
"You're coming to my Wedding right?" Draco said.
"Your Wedding...?" Hermione momentarily forgot about it.
"To Darlene Landrieu, um During the summer..." Draco said uncomfortably thinking about Hermione and how he kinda lied to her.
"Oh..Yes" Hermione forced a smile as she was reminded.
"So you'll be coming right?" Draco asked.
Hermione nodded.
"Do you think you could design my fiancé's wedding dress?" Draco tilted his head to push his loose bangs out of the way
Hermione shifted her head trying not to get mad"Design Wedding Dress...? Why me?"
"Well your parents told my parents that you were a huge fashion designer in Milan, so I just thought..." Draco trailed on.
Hermione shook her head in confusion vowing to have a talk with her parents later. She gave a fake smile "Let me think about it alright... I'll let you know Saturday, meet me there at 8 sharp at Movenpick." She gave one last wave as she rolled up her window and the car took off...
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief as the car started flying. She turned to her bodyguards.
"Where to next" She smiled.
"We're going to Paris now to get your formal night attire for your dinner banquet at Mr. Malfoy's wedding." Henry said without a hint of expression, emotion or movement...
Hermione nodded as she wondered what in the world was wrong with this guy.
They landed in front of Chanel's Magical store soon after and Hermione was escorted into the store to find Madeline and her Mother there picking shoes.
Her mother turned around just in time to see them walk in the door.
"Isabelle! Did you enjoy the pageant?"
"Yes until I saw Mr. Malfoy," Hermione said with a minor glare at her mother.
"What about Mr.Malfoy, He's such a fine young man. If he wasn't betrothed to that sweet girl Darlene I definitely would have set you two up." She said as she held a pair of red sling backs to her dress.
"Betrothal..." Hermione gasped at her new found information. So technically Draco wasn't cheating on her, it was a betrothal... But it was too late to change anything now..
"Apparently he thinks I'm a fashion designer in Milan... Wonder how he got that information" Hermione said glaring even heavier now.
"And he wants me to design Darlene's wedding dress!" Hermione added in exasperation.
"Honey, don't worry about it we'll just get one of Gucci's designers and get them to design a gown for Darlene then we can just put your name on it." Hermione's mother said as she put down the red sling backs and opted for a pair of pink ones.
"But mom that's cheating!" Hermione said shocked.
"Not really since you're not getting marked for it. Now why don't I get this lovely lady to show you their formal section alright, we don't have much time we're flying over to Korea for this pop-music festival after this. " Mrs. Corlucci said as she motioned the attendant over to take Hermione away.
"Korean Music Fes..." Hermione was unable to finish her sentence as she was dragged away to look at gowns.
An hour later you could see Hermione Granger standing amongst hundreds of dresses not looking all to happy about it.
"Gosh...What did I ever do to deserve this.." Hermione fumed as she looked in the 18th section of gowns today...
Suddenly she gasped... Madeline thinking something was wrong quickly rushed over to see if everything was alright.
There she found Hermione holding a dress up to herself eyes gleaming with excitement.
"I've found it!" Hermione yelled.
"My perfect dress" Hermione said as she preformed a spell on it so that she could see what it would look like on her. Hermione did a little spin.
The dress was a halter top. It was completely made of silk and satin with a net underlining. It ended just right below the knees and it flared out at her waist. If you looked at it from one way it was black from another it was silver, and from another it was a blue metallic.
The attendant smiled. "You have quite an eye there Miss. Corlucci. That's our newest design from our Mystic Dreams collection. If your like the design of this collection we also have the rest of the set which includes enough outfits for each of your nights. It will change your whole entire look and style"
Hermione smiled "How much for this dress?"
"Well this one is extremely special since it can turn 3 different colors because of the cloth we use to make it, the rest of the collection only turns two colors. This one is around 15,000 I think."
Hermione eyes widened "What about the whole entire collection?"
"The whole entire collection cost... 1.3 million dollars... but that includes accessories, handbags, shoes, makeup..." The attendant smiled.
Hermione gave a look of disbelief "wow" She said under her breath.
Suddenly her mother came in "Isabelle that looks wonderful on you!" She smiled then turned to the attendant "How much?"
"15,000"
Isabelle's mother nodded as she looked in the purse.
"And how much for the entire collection, I could not help but see some of it back in the front"
"1.3 million"
She gave a little nod. Then took out her wand. Charge it to gringotts under vault number 26.
"please send it to the Corlucci Mansion, I trust you know where it is." Hermione's mom said to the attendant.
"Isabelle we better get going now!" She yelled back to Hermione in the changing rooms as she walked out the door. Hermione quickly changed back her cloths gave a smile to the attendant and ran after her mother...
In the limosine Hermione turned to her Mother.
"I was just wondering why we are going to the Korean pop-music festival." Hermione asked
"Well your childhood friend Jung Ji Hoon invited you to see his show," (Hermione's mom is now going to be refered to as Carmen) Carmen said turning to her daughter smiling.
"Jung Ji-Hoon! Honestly I've never heard of him' Hermione said.
"Of course you have, you two were best friends when you were small. Before we lost you..." Carmen closed the compact foundation and placed it in her bag.
Hermione gave a sight knowing that she would not win this argument.
"alright... o and by the way is it alright if my two friends Harry and Ron come over during the summertime to stay?" Hermione asked.
"Last Names?" Carmen asked
"Um Harry's last name is Potter and Ron's last name is Weasley..." Hermione silently hoped her mother would say yes...
"Harry potter... The boy who lived right?" Carmen said
Hermione gave a slight nod still hoping,
"It's so sad that his parents died when he was still a small child... Of course your friends can come and if Harry wants to live with us he'd be more that welcome... As long as it makes you happy we're fine with it." Carmen said happily.
Hermione gleamed, her day and just gotten a tad bit better.
Once they arrived in Korea they were escorted to the V.I.P section. There Hermione met the other pop singers sitting there which included Kwon B.o.A, Ayumi Hamasaki, Jang Nara, Hyori and the group TVXQ. She still hasn't seen ji hoon yet but she was informed that he likes to go by the name of Rain or bi in Korea,
She sat back as the show started and was immediately entranced by the appearance of Rain... his looks could seriously compare to Draco's and she was best friends with this guy when she was young!.
She was still shaking when the concert was finished.
"Isabelle dear, are you alright?" Carmen asked.
Hermione gave a slight nod still thinking about rain. "I'm not feeling too well can we go back home now so I can rest?" She asked
"I'm sorry, can you wait a bit longer? I promised the Jung Family we'd go and have dinner together at our place and we need to entertain them." Carmen said as she followed Henry to the dressing rooms to find the jung's
"But they're muggles are they not how are they going to come to our house?" Hermione said curiously.
"The jung's aren't muggles they're problaby then purest of the purebloods there are in Asia." Carmen smiled as she spotted Whitney (Ji Hoon's mother).
"Whitney! How nice to see you again. Its been a long time." Carmen said as she reached in for a hug,
"Let me introduce you to my daughter Isabelle" Carmen then pointed to Hermione.
"Isabelle! Is that really you, my my you've grown a lot in those years I haven't see you, you're so beautiful, Ji hoon will be ecstatic to see you again!" Whitney said.
Hermione gave a fake smile. She spotted Rain heading their way and lowered her head a bit.
He came over in a confident stride as he reached out his hand to shake Carmen's "Auntie Car! It's so great to see you again!" He said.
"Its good to see you too Ji Hoon, This is Isabelle, remember her?" Carmen asked as a slight glance passed between the two mothers.
"Of course, how could I ever forget Isabelle" Rain said as he hugged Hermione.
Hermione gasped slightly... As her cheeks flushed red...
Carmen smiled when she saw her daughter's reaction to Rain. This was going according to plan...
