-1 Yea, yea I know, new chappy. :P lol. And as for the last chapter I know that some of you may have thought that Dumbledore was a fake, but take it from the author he really is the real Dumbledore. Also the people who've reviewed loved the fact that Dumbledore's back, so I'm guessing that my friends and I weren't the only people who had that theory. Lol.

Chapter Eight!

Draco and I found out way to the portrait of the mermaids and they turned to us,

"Password?" One of the girls giggled. She looked at Draco, batting her eyelashes

" toujours baiser " He said. I smiled at him, understanding his fluent French, he chose our password as Forever Kiss. The mermaid stuck her nose up as we kissed but opened the portal for us. We walked through it and gazed around the Heads common room. Our common room. It was beautiful, gorgeous, with silver and gold trimming on the wallpaper, which remained a neutral white. There were two couches and two chairs, a couch green and a chair green and the other two were red. The red had gold trim and the silver had green trimming. I loved it, and I admired the big fireplace as I sat down on the green couch. (a/n: I'm keeping the description short Cuz I kno nobody likes the descriptions of rooms really, I kno I just scan through them.)

"I can't believe he's back…" I said softly. Draco dropped down beside me,

"I can't either…" He replied. He pulled me back up through and we wandered up the stairs to look at the rooms they had made for us. We opened mine and gazed quickly upon the gold and red. I shut the door and instead went straight for his room. The bed was wooden, four poster, large. The sheets and bed spread were green, with a silver snake on the comforter. I ran and jumped on it, it was soft, bouncy. Draco just smiled at me from the doorway.

"Hey baby…" I said, making him raise his eyebrows, " Say it again." He smiled more and then walked towards me, leaned down, grabbed my hands, looked me in the eye…

"I love you." He whispered and I leaned up and kissed him hard on the lips. I put my hand behind his neck, pulling him closer to me. His tongue slipped into my mouth, moving against mine, making me shiver. He crawled onto the bed, and laid down beside me.

"I love you, too." I whispered into his ear, and before I knew it we were asleep.

"So…" Ginny said as we met up before breakfast the next morning. The train was scheduled to arrive at 10:30, and it was early, so everyone who stayed planned a trip to Hogsmeade.

"So what?" I asked as we all walked into the Great Hall.

"Did you hear?"

"Did I hear what? We were in our room all night last night."

"Well, last night, Harry went to go have a one-on-one with Dumbledore ya know? Just to find out what happened." Ginny said and I nodded silently as Draco put some eggs and biscuits on my plate, "Well, when Harry came back, he said that Dumbledore had brought up the subject of you two, and Harry went to go badmouth you, but Dumbledore stopped him mid-sentence and told him that he was wrong to judge you just because you were dating a Malfoy. He told Harry that he needs to realize that just because someone comes from a bad family doesn't mean they're bad." I smiled at Draco.

"Well… that's about… what three people who accept us now?" I joked.

"Harry still is really mad at you though."

"Figures. He is so stubborn! He really needs to get over himself." I stated and drank my orange juice.

"Well I don't blame him for being made at you for telling him off, but you are right. He needs an attitu-"

"Quiet down everyone, quiet down!" Dumbledore said, rising from his chair, holding a goblet in one hand. " Thank you all for staying. I know the lot of you are going to be back here when school begins on August 31st! But for now we must say goodbye. Do not mention to anyone that I am back! We know our enemies, but do you know yours?" He said, glancing over at Draco and I. I smiled up at him.

With that said, he sat down, and everyone continued eating. When we were done, we ran out of the Great Hall to the grounds. Draco and I walked hand in hand as we walked down the familiar path to Hogsmeade. Ginny skipped along, humming a tune I didn't know. Summer air was thick, and humid, and we found ourselves sweating. But as soon as we started sweating, we reached Hogsmeade. There was a bulletin on one of the doors to a shop, saying there were new stores in Hogsmeade, open now. A clothing store, a shoe store, a potions store, and a nightclub. I blinked.

"Are they serious? A nightclub?"

"Well, they've got one at Diagon Alley, remember. I took you there on our first date. People around here would have to travel all that way just to go to a club, so its pretty logical to open one up here." Draco told me. I nodded my head, he was right.

"Oh my gods I can't wait to go to ir when school opens up!" Ginny squealed. She was over-excited about being back in Hogsmeade. We turned to walk towards the stores, making our first stop in Honeydukes. (a/n:Did I spell that right?)

"Hey baby, grab me some sugar-quills, please?" I asked Draco, who was looking at the candy school supplies. I walked around the aisles and looked carefully over each candy. I picked up a box of Cinnamon Wands ( Spice Up Your Magic!) and continued to look around until I found Ginny giggling continuously on one aisle marked 17 Or Older Only.

"What are you looking at Ginnerva Weasley?" I questioned walking over to her. Her face was as red as her hair as she handed me a box. I blushed deeply and threw it back at her.

"I'm buying one!" She giggled, "Wonder what Ron and Mum will say!"

"Why are you going to buy that!" I asked. My best friend had lost her mind. Or maybe it was just her innocence.

"Buy what?" Draco asked, coming up from behind me. I grabbed the box from Ginny and handed it to him. He immediately began to laugh.

" 'Chocolate Dildo… Creamy milk chocolate dildo with chewy cream center! Suck Till It Cums!" He laughed loudly throwing the box back at her.

"What?" She asked, "It'd be a good prank. We could give it to Ron for his birthday!" I had to give it to her; it was a good prank. I looked around at all of the items on the aisle.

"Vibrating edible underwear." Draco laughed pointed at a box, "Want a pair of those Hermione?" I hit him on the arm, hard. He had messed up in teaching me not to punch like a girl. He grabbed his arm and whined as I continued to look.

" Why do they make products like these anyway?" I questioned, examining a box of edible vibrators, which came with a free pair of licorice handcuffs.

"Because some people are corndogs." Ginny said. Draco and I looked at each other and then burst out laughing, "What?"

" I think you mean that they're horn dogs, Gin." I corrected her. She blushed and began to exit the aisle. We paid for our items and then left the store, the clerk giving us strange looks, letting us know he had heard our conversation.

We spent the rest of time in the Three Broomsticks, just laughing and joking around. As we boarded the train and found our compartments, nothing seemed like it could bring us down. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, a soft breeze, cooling us slightly in the heat. But as the train started its long journey…

"Granger, Malfoy. Ginny, do you wanna come with us?" Harry and Ron opened our compartment door and I sighed.

"Calling me Granger now? Just because I'm in love with Draco? Harry, Get over yourself." I told him. He blinked at me.

"Love? Hermione…Love? Have you gone crazy? How can you love this… this creature over me? Or Ron?" He asked. Draco stood up.

" Because unlike you two, she found something more in me than just a friend. Because I didn't use her."

"But yet you were the bully who taunted her for six years." Ron said from behind Harry. And that's when Draco snapped.

……………………………… Yea, that was the end of that chapter. I'm grounded in some kind of way b/c of a bad grade on a worksheet in history. So I'm going to post this before…… well after the websites like… well whatever is doing tonight.
