A/N: Enjoy!

December 1st

I finally found out the date! I can't believe it's been so long... But we weren't gone for probably half of it, it's mostly because we've got to catch up on school work. While they didn't teach when the school was on lock down, the teachers have to double time the teaching so they can fit the teaching standards of what we need to learn over a school year. So double the homework, which is a nightmare I must admit. Yet it doesn't need quite as much when Draco is around.

It is hard to keep our relationship a secret. I mean I look at him at the Slytherin table and he gives me a death glare at him because any look what so ever could set off rumors. And yes, we don't need rumors, we're pissed as it is because everyone keeps going up to us and asking where we wentandwhat we found out. And everyone finding out about us? Colin would break into our dorms and be snapping a million pictures a minute of us. I suppose the secret is worth it. We have our own common room so we don't have to sneak out and I always find a rose in my bag as I take out my books for whatever class I have. Plus we're always partners in Potions ("House unity! Woot woot!" in the words of Ginny) so it's getting easier, but harder to act like I hate him. This is why guys have it easier, they have to be tough with the not being able to cry or show weakness. Girls, well we do cry and we do show weakness. Damn it...

Ginny and Harry on the other hand are very open with their relationship, but thank God they have the sense not to show it off when I'm around. They just just go and elope already, and I'm serious. It's not just that they're affectionate in public or what not. I swear I get this feeling that just says that these two are meant to be when I'm around them. I know it sounds crazy but I really do. I can't explain it...

Wait...that looks like Ron's owl...what does he want?

Ron wants me to meet him outside Gryffindor tower at ten. I dunno if I should go...But he said he wanted to sort things out and I just miss him. It just doesn't feel complete just with me and Harry. I'll go owl Harry to be on the lookout in case if things go wrong. But I'll have to keep this from Draco, which kills me. I'll just say I'm going on patrol or something...

Oh Merlin, I hope I'm not walking into a trap.

The castle is quite scary at night. There are few windows in the actual halls and there are not lights to flip on, so it's really dark. I quickly made my way to Gryffindor tower, making sure my Head badge was in sight in case I came across any teacher. It's actually funny since I could see Ron's hair in the darkness. (I know it's wrong to make fun of him, but come on! It's like it glows in the dark! When are you going to ever see that?)

"Hermione-" he started. But I got there first.

"What do you want Ron?" I asked.

"I want to make things right." he said. "It was stupid of me to cheat on you. I don't even know why I did-"

"Because you wanted sex and I wouldn't give in, so you went to someone else who would at the drop of a hat." I explained. He looked a bit surprised and then continued.

"What I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry."

"You threatened me. In the stalker manner. Care to explain that?" I asked, not even considering Ron's words.

"Well that was also stupid. I was just really heart broken...I just took it the wrong way." I wasn't impressed.

"I'm not believing this."

"Hermione I just...I care about you so much. I want to start over. I'm not asking for a relationship, I just want to earn your trust again."

"I dunno Ron. I have to think about this, it's going to take a long time."

"I'm willing to wait." I sighed.

"We'll see? Is that good enough for you?" He nodded and then we said our goodbyes and then went to our dorms. As I slid into bed with Draco (I had clothes on, thank you very much.) he whispered

"Where were you?"

"I was patrolling." I lied. "I thought I heard something outside so I checked it out."

"Is it anything serious?"

"No, just some couple."

And as we fell asleep I prayed that Draco wouldn't find out that I lied.

December 20th

Sorry once again for the slacking off of writing! But Draco and I have been busy and the homework isn't getting any better. But today is a sad day because I have to say goodbye to Draco because he is spending the holidays with Narcissa who is in hiding as I write this. While I'm gonna miss him I am glad he will see Narcissa since he hasn't seen her in the longest while and the time between her letters get longer and longer they still come. Which to Draco is more important. But Harry and Ron are staying which is good to a point. Ron and I are okay...we'll say 'Hi' and ask what's up. So far he's been okay, no more of the stalker act, thank God. It's getting there but it's nice to think things could be as they were. Oh wait, Draco's calling me...be right back...

Hermione?

Ginny? How are you talking to me? I thought we couldn't anymore since we're in the castle.

Hermione, Hermione, have you ever been to the restricted section?

Yes...YOU DIDN'T!

Oh yes I did. Interesting books in there I must say.

How did you get in there? Wait, you used Harry's cloak didn't you?

Of course! He doesn't use it, so why not?

GINNY!

Jeez, chill. Go get some ice or something. Anyway yes I used to books and I can now talk to you. What is up?

If you've ever felt like your world suddenly came crashing down in a split second, then you know what I feel like right now.

Draco broke up with me.

I'm dead serious

Oh my God...why?

He said that he felt like something was missing. That things weren't like they were. He needed something different

That jerk, where is he?

On the train to his mother's

I swear when he gets back he's getting it. I'm so sorry Hermione.

I thought our relationship was strong, but I guess I was blinded by love.

Oh Hermione...

I feel like smashing something. Taking that jar he keeps spare change in and throwing at his wall. I feel like weeping, even though I know he's alive. Jesus, why does love hurt so much... And why the hell did I let myself fall?

But you do know what you can do now right?

No, what?

Get revenge

Now before you go hitting me with random objects because I made them break up, I will say this is where it gets quite interesting. I mean Hermione getting revenge! I promise this is happening for a reason.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed! I wish I could post responses but FF won't let us anymore! So anyone who really wants a reply to their review please say so in your review for this chapter!

I'm sorry for the long update and I hope that this was worth the wait!
