Well! It's been a little longer than usual, but school has been crazy! I just wanted to let everyone know.... I just realized how very little time I have covered so far with this story. So, I'm going to start making a conscious effort to make more time covered because future chapters deal with seasonal things...so you know!

Miriel216: Thanks so much! Thanks for answering my question.... I still haven't decided, but I know that if they do.... they need to be together longer! So... we'll see!

Creeppieness: Awww! Thanks so much! About the Ron/ Luna thing... I am tossing a few ideas around, but haven't made a final decision. I first put her in the story from a request from a reader....so I haven't gotten her completely worked in.... Any suggestions?

Remusgrl01: Thanks so much for your review! Hmmm... I don't know if they will find out....hehehe! Well... I had some problems with keeping them from recognizing Sirius. He does bear a striking resemblance, but keep in mind.... he is in his 7th year.... and the potter's wedding (the photo that Harry has) was several years later. I really would like to bring Remus in the story, but it's complicated. I'm still brainstorming on whether or not that would interfere with... things.

Siriuszsecretlover: Thanks! Yeah...I read those stories too, but I'm just not exactly comfortable writing them...so even if I put it in...it would just be a reference...no details. Sorry!

Nicky Black: I definitely agree that it is too early. When I looked back over my story, I realized just how little time I had covered, but I intend to fix that!

Disclaimer: Blah! Blah! Blah! You know...the usual!

Chapter 10

Drawing the Line

"A happy ending? Sounds good..." Hermione whispered.

"Well, you know... Every happy ending has a kiss involved..." Kyle smirked.

"Really? I thought that was only fairytales."

He stroked her cheek lovingly, "Well, my princess... it's time to start our own fairytale."

He kneeled before her and took her hand while placing a gentle kiss. 'He's on his knee? Surely not... he's out of his mind...Oh God!' He opened his mouth to speak and Hermione nearly fainted.

"Care to dance my lady?"

She exhaled a sigh of relief. "I'd love to... Prince charming." She giggled.

He wrapped his strong arms around her petite body; he flicked his wand and the lights dimmed as music played. "I am charming, aren't I?" he chuckled.

She swatted his arm playfully, and laid her head upon his chest. His scent was intoxicating. It was an experience she had never felt before, but yet it seemed so familiar. She snuggled closer to his god-like body and inhaled deeply.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are gorgeous? You're like an angel..." he whispered.

She blushed a deep crimson, but with those words...like an angel... an unwanted thought crept into the back of her mind. 'No. Not now. That doesn't matter anymore. It's in the past." She forced her mind back on Kyle and the mystery that was held in his eyes. As they swayed to the music, her heart fluttered with each breath he took. She couldn't believe that she felt like this—giddy, girly, and incredibly happy. She hadn't felt truly happy for a long time—too long. The music played on...

All my life I prayed for someone like you

He smiled.

I thank God that I, that I finally found you

She felt her knees go weak.


All my life I prayed for someone like you

He pulled her closer.


I hope that you feel the same way too

She smiled and gazed into his eyes.


Yes, I pray that you do love me too


He twirled her and then pulled her close again.


Said I promised to never fall in love with a stranger,

They slowed until they were standing still.
You're all I'm thinking of

His hand moved to her cheek and caressed it gently.


I praise the Lord above,

She closed her eyes and savored his touch.
For sending me your love, I cherish every hug,

He tightened his hold and dipped her gently.


I REALLY LOVE YOU!!

Their lips met in a passionate kiss. His tongue swept across her lip begging for entrance. She granted it eagerly and as their tongues met, a force of electricity surged through them, and they craved more. Their tongues battled for dominance, but it wasn't forceful. It was tender and loving. Her arms were draped around his neck and she pulled him closer. They tumbled on to the bed. "I guess this means we're back together." He said huskily. "Uhuh..." was all she could manage between breaths. Their hands began to roam each others bodies, and as he began to kiss her neck, she gasped and uttered a little scream," No, no, we have to stop." He caught his breath and rolled off of her. It was hard for him to stop. She continued to release deep raspy breaths.

"I'm so sorry, Kyle. I shouldn't have let it go that far... I... I lost control."

"It's okay, Mione."

"No, it's not. I never... I mean... almost never... lose control."

"Almost?"

She panicked... Like an angel... A vivid picture formed in her mind and she closed her eyes as she let out a whimper.

"Mione, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to push you. I would never..."

"It's fine Kyle. It's not your fault. It was mine."

"Don't be silly..."

"How about we just draw the line now? Just for future reference. I'm not ready to have sex...with you. I just think we should slow down. We haven't been dating long, and I want to know so many things about you...I hardly know you...and we are much too young." She reasoned, more to herself than him. "Yes, much too young."

"Mione... I would never dream of pushing you farther than you want to go. Just looking at your beautiful smile is satisfaction enough for me." He stroked her cheek sweetly. She smiled and kissed him softly.

"Shall we head back? We seem to always end up here in this shack, don't we?" he chuckled.

She took his arm and walked down the passageway and up to the castle.

"Awww...isn't that revolting?"

Hermione whipped around at the sound of that familiar drawl. "What do you want, ferret-boy?"

"Nothing, my dear mudblood... absolutely NOTHING... to do with you that is."

"Kyle, is it?"

"What do you want?" he growled.

"Pureblood? I know you are... I can sense it. My, my, my.... tainting yourself with Granger here? Pity..."

"Speaking of tainted... Malfoy... we must be running along."

Draco sneered, "Go ahead... run to Pothead and Weasel."

"Fuck off." Kyle spat and steered Hermione away.

"Hmm... It's extremely tempting not to hex that git into the next hemisphere. Um, so...tell me about yourself. I want to know everything."

"Everything?" she giggled.

"Yep, no secrets."

'I'm sorry Kyle.' She thought. 'There are some things that you can never know.'

Hehe! Left you wondering...huh? Like the title says... Everyone has a Secret. I'm going to try and cover the next month or so pretty quickly in the story, because I feel like It's kind of boring and I'm ready to get to the good stuff. Hope you enjoy! I know there wasn't to that chapter, but the next part needs a chapter to itself... so I kind of had to stretch out this last one. Please Review! Long Reviews are loved! I want to know what ya'll like and dislike! Please let me know! I'm open to suggestions and requests! Thanks so much, Brittany.
