Anyway, on with the story!

Disclaimer: You know the drill, anything recognised here does not belong to me, yata yata ya…

Acceptance

Everyone was staring at us. It was embarrassing but thrilling at the same time. I had just made out with Draco in front of EVERYONE! Thank goodness Ginny, Lavender and Parvati didn't mind.

The next thing that happened was totally unexpected; Ron started charging at Draco like a bull and the next thing I knew, he was ontop half strangling half threatening!

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH HER YOU BASTARD?" roared Ron.

"I-DIDN'T-DO-ANYTHING!" Draco said between coughs and struggles.

"YOU'RE BLOODY LYING!" Ron yelled back. Everyone in the hall continued to stare at us. Ron was yelling so loudly and so angrily that I'm surprised that no one within a five kilometre radius heard him.

I started to panic; Ron had really lost it that time. Never in my entire life had I seen him that mad.

"RONALD WEASLEY, STOP STRANGLING DRACO THIS INSTANT! HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME; I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM ON MY OWN ACCORD!" I shrieked.

Ron instantly stopped strangling Draco and stared at me. "Tell me this isn't true Hermione." He said quietly.

"I'm sorry Ron but it is. If you know him as well as I do, you would see how kind and caring he is. Please give him a chance Ron, please. Do it for me." I begged.

Ron's face softened, he got off Draco, walked over to me and hugged me.

"Ok, I'll give him a chance."

He turned to Draco, who had already gotten up, and said, "Hermione is like my sister, if I find out that you have hurt her in any way, you'll be hexed before you even have time to run away. Got it?" Ron said threateningly.

"I would never harm Hermione, even if my life depended on it." Draco answered.

I was overjoyed, Ron had accepted the fact that I was with Draco! I jumped on Ron and kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh my goodness Ron, thank you so MUCH!" I cried.

"Hey get off him sister, he's mine." Lavender said in a bossy mock voice.

We all laughed. Just then I realised that Harry had been quiet the whole time. I looked around the hall but I couldn't find him, everywhere I looked people were clapping and smiling, except for the Slytherins of course.

"Hey Ginny." I whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Do you know where Harry went?" I asked.

"You know, I swear I saw him creep out while Ron was on top of Draco threatening him." She said.

I sighed; I still had to get Harry's answer, but somehow, I felt that Harry wouldn't be as hard as Ron to convince.

"Ok then, thanks Ginny." I said and left.

While I was walking down the hallway Draco caught up with me.

"Hey Hermione! Wait up! Where are you going?" He asked.

"Oh hey hun, I'm just going to find Harry and get his answer…he crept out when Ron tackled you." I answered.

"Oh, ok then…just…see me after you talk to Harry…I need to ask you something." He said nervously.

I looked at him with confusion, but then nodded, "Ok then, I'll meet you at the Head Dorms after, bye." And walked away.

I walked to the Gryffindor Dorm and was greeted by the Fat Lady.

"Why my dear! I haven't seen you in a long time! Tell me, what brings you here?" She asked.

"Oh hello, well, I was just wondering…did Harry by any chance go in a few minutes ago?" I asked.

The Fat Lady thought for a moment.

"Why yes, and he seemed to be very occupied with what he was thinking about." She tapped her head.

I thanked her and said the password. The portrait swung open and when I stepped inside, I saw Harry sitting in one of the comfortable chairs with his head in his hands; he was whispering furiously.

"Should I let it be or should I not accept it? Arrgh! Why does it have to be so hard to choose?"

I whispered, "Harry?"

He looked up and said, "Oh…it's you 'Mione…you didn't hear that…did you?"

I giggled. "The last part? Yes I did."

Harry's face paled slightly, "Oh…well, I've decided, and…" he said.

"And what?" I asked.

"I've decided to let it be. You can't help who you fall in love with 'Mione, besides, if he hurts you, I will have so much fun beating him up!" He joked.

I squealed and kissed him on the cheek as well.

"Oh thank you so MUCH Harry! You don't know how much this means to me!"

I ran to the portrait hole, "Thank you so much Harry! I have to go now, bye!"

"Bye 'Mione" Harry answered.

I ran all the way to the Head Dorms; I was so happy!

"Phoenix feathers!" I said in a hurry.

The portrait swung open and I walked inside.

"Guess what babe!" I asked Draco once I saw him.

"What?" He answered.

"Harry's ok with us going out!" I cried.

"That's great!" He cheered.

I hugged and kissed him. When we broke apart, Draco motioned for me to sit down, so I did.

We had given each other nicknames a few weeks ago, but we hadn't used them yet, so I was surprised when he called me Mya, his nickname for me.

"Mya?" He asked.

"Yeah Drake?" I said. Drake was my nickname for him.

"Well…when you were shouting at Ron, you said that you fell in love with me on your own accord…did you really mean it when you said that you fell in love with me? Do you really love me?" He asked again.

I smiled warmly at him. "Draco Lucius Malfoy, of course I love you, why else would I beg for Ron and Harry's acceptance?" I giggled.

Draco beamed at me. "Well Hermione Jane Granger, you know what? I love you too!"

Well everyone, that is the end of my story sob I hope you all enjoyed it. Right now, I'm trying to come up with a new story, so look out for my name!
