A/N: Just something you should know: DUMBLEDORE IS NOT DEAD!

100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Draco smiled as we walked around the familiar school. Everything was almost exactly the same, including the teachers. He walked around the Great Hall, the dungeons, the classrooms, everywhere, remembering the good times he had, all the memories…

He bumped smack into McGonagall and Snape. Once they all recovered from shock, McGonagall, Snape, and Draco smiled. "Mr. Malfoy! What's brings you to Hogwarts?" the two Professors said simultaneously.

Draco smiled. "Well, I just need to ask a favor from Professor Dumbledore."

McGonagall and Snape nodded at each other. "Alright, Mr.Malfoy! Right this way, come on."

They made their way to the entrance of Dumbledore's office. "Oh well, here we are. It was nice to see you, Mr.Malfoy, do come again!" Draco nodded and the two Professors left him, talking about the pleasant surprise.

Draco entered Dumbledore's office, and sat down in a nearby chair. Dumbledore emerged out of nowhere, and sat down as well. "Mr.Malfoy! What brings you to Hogwarts?" Draco smiled again for the fourth time in the span of five minutes; it was the exact same thing McGonagall and Snape had said.

"Well, Professor, I would just like your permission to bring Hermione Granger for a date here tomorrow, so she can relive the old days with me. We won't be a bother, really. We'll just look around Hogwarts again and-"

"Mr. Malfoy, am I going deaf, or did I really hear you say a date with Hermione Granger?"

Draco blushed. "Err…well-"

"No need to explain! House unity at last! Mr.Malfoy, you are welcome to come here anytime you wish with Ms. Granger. You have my permission to come here whenever you like."

"Really, Professor? Thank you!"

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "Oh yes, you are also welcome to dine at the Great Hall again when you come."

"Wonderful! Thank you, Professor."

"Your welcome, Mr.Malfoy. Run along now."

Draco nodded and exited Dumbledore's office with another huge smile on his face. For once, he was actually thinking that Dumbledore wasn't so bad.

100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Hermione looked at herself in the mirror. Draco would arrive in about fifteen minutes for their "big date". Hermione had let Ginny baby-sit Hailey. She sat down on the couch until the doorbell rang. She jumped up, straightened her dress, and opened the door for…

…Viktor. "VIKTOR?"

"Hermione! How are you? You're all dressed up! Can I come in?"

Hermione didn't answer; she was too busy thinking about what to do. Draco would arrive any minute! Viktor stepped inside when she didn't answer. Hermione finally came to her senses and pushed him out. "I'm afraid now's not a good time, so please leave."

"But-"

"NOW."

"Hermione-"

"NOW!"

"Hermione, I know you're mad at me for leaving you, but I just want to have a little talk."

"Viktor, now is really not a good time for a chat! I need to-"

"Surely you can spare a minute?"

Hermione sighed tiredly. Another reason she didn't like Viktor was that he was awfully persistent. "Fine."

He went in, not bothering to close the door, and sat on the couch. She sat on it as well. "What do you want?"

"Well, Hermione, things aren't exactly working out for me, and when I saw you a few days ago, I realized I made a huge, horrible mistake leaving you and…Hailey, and I want you back."

Hermione gaped at him. "What do you mean?"

"Hermione," Viktor bent down on one knee, and Hermione gasped. Was he doing what she thought he was doing? "Will you remarry me?"

She gaped even more when she saw the big, beautiful ring. "Oh my god…."

Viktor smiled, and kissed her. She lay motionless in his arms for a second, then realized who was kissing her, and began to push him off, but he wouldn't budge. She bit his lip hard as she struggled, but he didn't seem to care. He was too busy trying to unzip her dress. She screamed, but it was muffled by a furious shout, and all of a sudden Viktor was being thrown off her by what seemed to be a superhuman force. She saw a furious Draco Malfoy. He threw Viktor onto the floor and began to punch him over and over. "WHAT-" PUNCH "THE-" PUNCH "FUCK-" PUNCH "DO YOU THINK-" KICK IN THE GROIN "YOU'RE DOING!"

"Malfoy, stop!"

He looked at her, fury still burning in his eyes. "Stop? I'm not stopping till this bastard talks!"

"Malfoy, he's unconscious."

Draco got off Viktor and stood up. "Oh. Okay."

Hermione sighed. "Malfoy, sit down." He did as he was told.

"What do we do about Viktor?"

"Leave him here. We aren't going to help him."

"Malfoy! If we aren't going to help him, we have to get him out of MY apartment!"

Draco groaned. "Fine, let's revive him then." Hermione nodded and performed a simple spell. Viktor opened his eyes, wincing from the various bruises. Draco stepped menacingly toward him, and Viktor was out of the apartment like a shot. Hermione shook her head. Draco looked at her. "You look like a mess. What happened?"

"Viktor came in and asked me to remarry him, and I was about to refuse when he suddenly kissed me, and I tried to push him off, and then you came in."

Draco nodded. "Glad that's over. Sorry about that."

Hermione smiled. "It's alright. I guess I should get myself fixed up, huh?"

"Yeah. I'll wait here."

"Okay."

Hermione went inside the bathroom and looked at her reflection. Her dress was a rumpled mess, and was still partially unzipped from Viktor's…conquest. Her makeup was smudged as well. So much for a romantic date. She cursed. Viktor had to ruin everything. And, no long able to restrain herself, she began to cry. Fucking Viktor just had to go ruin everything, her date with Draco…her life. Her sobs were interrupted by Draco's voice. "Granger? Granger, don't cry, it's alright…" He held her close.

She looked at him, her eyes miserable. "I'm sorry…I just can't stand it that Viktor has to ruin everything!"

"Today isn't ruined! Come on, we have to go someplace. Let's go." Hermione nodded.

"Thank you for saving me, Malfoy."

"No problem, Granger. Come on."

They stood up, and Hermione couldn't resist kissing him on the cheek. He blushed. "Okay, Granger, to get to wherever we're going, we need to use a portkey."

Hermione nodded and he brought out a teddy bear. She burst out laughing. "What? Never mind, tell me when we get there. Hold onto it now!" She did as she was told, and he was able to make out the words in between her laughter. "Draco Malfoy…holding teddy bear…HAHAHAHA!" Then all of a sudden, they were transported to just outside the Forbidden Forest. "What the hell?" said Hermione. "Where are we?"

"You'll see. Come on. We need to walk a bit from here." Hermione was bewildered, but followed him into a clearing, and she gasped and squealed as she saw a hippogriff. "Wow…why is there a hippogriff standing here?"

"So we can ride it."

"WHAT?"

"You heard me."

"But…"

"I can ride a hippogriff now, Granger. The only reason you don't think I can is because of that damned Buckbeak back in third year. I've learned from that experience to never disrespect a hippogriff. This one's called Bob."

"Bob?"

"Yeah." At this point, Draco bowed to the Bob, and Bob bowed back. Hermione widened her eyes in disbelief. She was actually going to ride a hippogriff! But to where? She bowed, and Bob bowed shortly after, so she hopped on behind Draco. It felt a bit uncomfortable at first, but she got used to it, and Bob took off. She screamed. It was terrifying! She closed her eyes. She had always despised flying, whether on a broom, or a plane, or a hippogriff.

100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Draco winced as she let out a bloodcurdling scream. He didn't expect that. He knew she hated flying, but he thought she would at least appreciate that she was riding a real hippogriff. He also went through the trouble of asking Hagrid if he could borrow Bob! He sighed as he turned to look at her. Her eyes were shut tightly, and she looked pale. "Hermione?"

She opened her eyes to look at him. "Yes?"

"Are you okay?"

She smiled as best as she could, but he could still see how frightened she was. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"No you aren't."

"I'm sorry, it's just that I've always hated heights."

"Granger, can you do me a favor?"

She looked at him curiously, her now messy hair making her look somewhat spooky. "Okay, I guess so."

"Look down and around you. Just for a second, and I bet a galleon that you won't be able to look away."

She considered this for a moment. She nodded. "Alright then." She looked down, and her eyes lit up at the sight below her. It was beautiful. She could see the tops of trees, she could see faraway lights, she could see everything, and she felt free. She didn't realize she had held her breath. "Amazing." She looked at Draco, and saw he was smiling at her. She smiled back, and Bob started to land.

"Okay, Granger, close your eyes."

"Why?"

"Just close them."

She did, and they landed in front of Hogwarts. Draco helped her jump off Bob, for Bob was a rather huge creature. He led her inside Hogwarts, just outside the Great Hall's door. He opened the door widely. "Open your eyes, Granger."

She opened her eyes, and when where she was registered, she broke out into a huge smile, squealed, and started to jump around the Great Hall not caring that the whole room was staring at her. "Professor Dumbledore! Professor McGonagall! Professor Flitwick! Professor Binns! Madame Pomfrey! Mr.Filch! Mrs.Norris! Professor Snape! Hogwarts!-"

Draco tuned out what she was saying, and started focusing on her face. She looked so happy. A smile illuminated her face as she hugged all her former teachers, even Snape, though he pushed her away in a second. She skipped back to Draco after ten minutes of hugging the Professors. Dumbledore came with her. "Mr.Malfoy, Ms.Granger, would you like to eat dinner in the Great Hall with us, or do you want a more private area?" Draco and Hermione looked at each other.

"We would like to have a more private area, if you don't mind, Professor."

Dumbledore smiled. "Of course. A table will be ready in the Astronomy Tower shortly."

Draco and Hermione nodded eagerly, and Dumbledore had to suppress a chuckle. Who would have thought that Mr.Malfoy and Ms.Granger would date? What an unlikely pair, they had hated each other with a burning passion back in their Hogwarts years. He watched them leave the Great Hall, and his eyes twinkled. House unity had finally been achieved.

100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

Draco and Hermione went up the steps to the Astronomy Tower, and were delighted to find out that there was already a table ready. It was dark except for the large amount of candles lit around the room. They sat down, and found out they were having pasta for dinner. They started eating, because there was a suddenly awkward pause. They both took their sweet time eating, avoiding conversation as much as possible. When it was obvious that they could not eat anymore, they sat in silence.

"Uhh,Malfoy?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For saving me from Viktor, and for bringing me to Hogwarts. It was a wonderful idea. I love it."

"I knew you would."

"Malfoy?"

"Yeah?"

She did not answer, but leaned forward instead, and kissed him. Draco's eyes widened. Was she actually…HOLY SHIT! The realization hit him hard. She was kissing him! It took him a while to fully comprehend all this, and Hermione was about to pull away, when he crushed her to him in a bruising kiss. It was like an explosion, like fireworks went off, and fire engulfed him. They kissed, both unaware of the time that was passing by, and completely oblivious of everything but each other.

100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
