Hey hermoine,
I can't believe you feel this way about him. I talked to your headmaster the other day when I first got your letter, she said I was allowed to come visit and stay in your head of house suite. Which I am very proud of you for. Mom and Dad must be so proud. It's so hard being apart from them now that I am off at college in the United States. So what about Snape have you told him yet, or would you rather keep it a secret. Can you believe you have been married for a month now and I think that's to long to even consider an annulment, so think about what you're doing. I really wished you brought your cellphone with you, it's so hard not being able to speak to you eveyday like we did over the summer. I think you should tell Draco that he needs to lay off pressuring you into soing anything you don't want to, after all you are married and your husband is the head of his house I believe.
Love,
Jenny
P.S. I will see you on wed.
The letter had arrived Tuesday morning and Hermoine knew she had to talk to Draco then tell Snape, and hopefully there marriage won't be ruined. Hermoine was walking to the great hall and ran into Draco who seemed to be heading to the dungeon.
"Draco, hey can I speak to you for a minute?"
"Sure, but make it quick I have to read like 6 chapters in the herbology books if I want to graduate this year."
"Ok… um how should I say this."
"Just say it, I think you can tell me anything."
"Well, I kinda like you, but nothing can ever happen between us you do know that?"
"Of course, besides you Snape is the only friend I have left in this world and I DON'T want to screw that up."
"Ok, so you agree we can only be friends."
"That's what I've known all along, I'm still going to long for you, but I am willing to live with myself, and hopefully one day I'll find someone almost as perfect as you, who won't be married. But as long as we are friends I am content in every way."
"Aww, you are just the perfect best friend. Listen you said you don't have any friends besides me and sevvie, so how about you come to this welcoming party I'm having for my sister when she arrives."
"Ok, I'd love to."
"But theres one tiny detail, Harry and Ron will be there and I know you don't get along but now that it seems you're not as evil as I once thought you were, and you seem like you'd get along well, as long as you don't call me mudblood I think everything will be fine."
"Mudblood?" Draco looked shocked. "Do you still think I'd use that awful term after all my best friend is a mudblood anyone with a problem with that should seriously be hurt."
"Wow! All this is coming from a boy who up until last year called me a mudblood? But you know what I had grown to accept it as the norm from you."
"I'm hurt 'moine I really am you think I still carry around those childish antics?"
"Of course not, after all you have done a lot of growing up this past year."
"But you still seemed surprised that I haven't called you a mudblood this year." Draco was practically crying, Hermoine could only guess he thought he was finally accepted and she spoiled his dreams.
"It's ok, I accept you no matter what." She leaned over and hugged him. Draco thought it was weird because that's all he had been looking for all year someone to accept him, and here she was the only one in his entire life who didn't fancy him and wasn't afraid of him, but liked him as a friend for who he was, and in her arms that day he didn't want her for anything more than what she was giving him at that moment.
"Ok, now I have no time to read all those 6 chapters at all, but you know what 'moine thanks." With that he picked up his things and began to walk away, "I guess I'll be seeing you in herbology this afternoon then?"
"Of course, why would I skip a lesson." She headed to the head boy and girl dorm and sat on a couch and began to read the next chapter of her herbology book, there was no use in wasting free time.
A/N: I will try to have Snape come back next chapter so hermoine can tell him about her and draco becoming friends
