To sapphirerosha, im sorry, but i really have to put Latvia in and her accent thing, you'll see why but thanks for reviewing. :)

To bus buddie #2, yeah, i somehow thought that too, but dont worry, ill change the gown. I just thought that the gown should match the invitation (motif thing), but anyway, ill change it if it pleases you. :) For Draco's, well, i cant explain it right now. (smirks) You'll find out soon. :) Thanks though for the review. Really appreciate your suggestion. :)

I'll try my best to stay away from cliches. :)

CHAPTER 3: False-Malfoy

Draco and Latvia had arrived in France after a few hours. They had reserved the presidential suite in one of France's five star hotels. "I've alvavys vanted to spend time with you 'ere" Latvia said clutching her boyfriends hand. He nodded vacuously. After much inducing from Latvia, Draco gave in and went for a stroll with her along the streets of France.

Hermione and Ron were riding on a gondola, confabulating. They were sweet. Terribly sweet in fact that they were snuggling close to each other and their hands were entwined together, like nothing could separate them. It was then that Hermione saw a familiar figure walking past them, across a bridge. A familiar boy with blonde hair and an absolutely well and proud posture except, he wasn't a boy anymore; he's turned into a man. A man who held hands with a lovely, tall, beautiful and elegant woman. "That's Malfoy right?" she asked Ron stunned. Ron looked for the Malfoy-guy his Hermione had just mentioned although, he couldn't find anyone who looked like him. "Malfoy? What could he be doing here? Probably your hallucinating dear." Ron said sweetly. I can't be hallucinating, I just saw him. It was him. I know. Malfoy and his blonde hair, she thought. Although she knew what she had just seen she forced to believe what Ron had just said. I'm dreaming, what could he possibly be here for? She thought. Then, she remembered the brunette girl he was with. A date perhaps? She thought yes, a date. Then, she saw that same figure walk past them again. "Look Ron, it's him" she uttered, hands gesturing to the man. The figure faced them and to her dismay, found a man who looked like Draco but isn't Draco. "See dear, not him".

Draco Malfoy had just seen her. The beautiful Hermione, unfortunately with Ron, was riding a gondola. She's so beautiful, like a goddess. Her hair brushing her face. His reverie was ceased when Latvia screamed "Drraco! Vat 'ave you done to yourrzelf?". Draco had just performed a spell, which changed his appearance. He needed to, he wanted to stare at her face, the face he hasn't seen in a very long time, the face that resembled his girlfriend's face. He couldn't be seen staring at her, especially with Ron by her side. "I did nothing". It was a blatant lie. "Huh! Vatever Drraco. I do not underrztand your enchanted vorld but I ztill love you". It suddenly dawned onto him that he was so selfish. He had dragged Latvia all the way here to watch him drool over a different girl. He suddenly felt confused, weird and diffident. He wanted Hermione. He needed Hermione. But will she want him back? Latvia here loves him. The only thing is, he doesn't. Will he ever learn to love her back?

That night, Ron and Hermione were having dinner at the Grand Hotel. They loved that place. The place was so elegant and the staff was very hospitable and friendly.

"Ron dear, I was thinking. Maybe we could set up a party before our wedding. Probably two weeks before the wedding"

"I was thinking so myself. A party. Guest party. They'd stay at our place perhaps?"

"Or, someplace else"

"What's wrong with ours?"

"No, no, nothings wrong. I just thought that it might be a mess if the party and the wedding would be held at the same place"

"We'll let Sue arrange it." he said giving a nodding smile.

Hermione excused herself so that she could go to the bathroom to freshen up. She was retouching up the rouge on her face when a lady entered. She glanced at her and found her, rather familiar. It was the same lady who was with the "False-Malfoy". She was also freshened up. The lady gave out a smile. Hermione smiled back.

"Hi" she said

" 'ello" the lady responded. She had an accent.

After a quick touch up, she headed outside and to her surprise found a blonde man. The same blonde man she thought she saw a while ago. He was wearing a red polo paired with black slacks. "Malfoy?" she said incredulously

The man faced him. "Hermio.. I mean, Granger?" he said, surprised. What is she doing here?, he thought.

A/N: So, how was it? Hate to end it with a cliffy though. Tell me your thoughts throughREVIEWING once again. :) thanks.
