HEY ALL! I'm BACK! YAY! I get to finish my story! It's been over a year since I last updated it. All my comps went down, no internet, everything sucked. Then I got a Job, went to school and even had a horrible Christmas. Two close friends and my uncle all died within a two-week period last December. But I will post this chapter, but if the story lines a little mixed up I apologize! On with the story!

Chapter 13: Make-ups, break ups and expulsions.

Hermione, Draco and Harry walked back to Hagrid's hut. It had been more than an hour. And Ron and Ginny were probably worried. They had all had a rough night. They walked in to find a sleepy eyed Ron and A tired Hagrid and an already asleep Ginny at Hagrids huge table. Hermione cleared her throat and Ron who had leapt out of his seat and bombarded her, embraced her tightly.

"Hermione! I didn't know! I thought that you had had your parents killed on purpose!" Ron yelled. Hermione a little embarrassed by Ron's sudden outburst, but obviously it didn't show, just kind of awkwardly patted him on the back. She wasn't used to this kind of affection.

"Um…it's alright I suppose, just don't think that I'll ever lie to you. You should know me better than that." Hermione said, trying to cover up the fact of how amused she really was.

"Ron, Ginny, can we talk to you outside please," Harry said looking at the each pointedly. He turned to Hagrid and said, "Hagrid, we need to go back to the castle, we're getting up early to go to Hogsmead." Hagrid nodded apparently oblivious to the fact that there were now two more Vampyre's instead of only one.

They all followed Hermione outside. Harry was going to talk to Ginny and Ron and ask them if they indeed wanted to be changed. Or if they would rather live a normal life and be mortal, than live a lonely immortal life. She felt extremely drained at the fact that she had just changed two young men. Even if Ginny and Ron wished to be changed they would have to wait until the morning. Harry, Ginny and Ron all walked in the other direction, Hermione and Draco walked towards their common room, and apparently both were extremely exhausted.

"Hermione?" Draco asked uncertainly.

Hermione looked at him in a questioning manner and waited for him to continue.

"Well, It's just that I have to tell you something." He said looking at the ground as they walked towards their common room. The halls were dark and they could see Mrs. Norris following them in the shadows. They could tell she was frightened of them, yet oddly drawn to them as if she was in a trance. After a few moments in silence Hermione finally spoke.

"What is it Draco, I'm extremely exhausted and I would like to know what it is before the suspense kills me." She said a little irritated. If Draco could've blushed he would have.

"Well, you see…" He said playing around with the words in his head before he outright spoke them. But he unintentionally spoke them inside of her head. 'I Love You'

Hermione stopped in her tracks, Draco not realizing what he had indeed done gave her a questioning look.

"You do?" Hermione said. Draco still looked puzzled at to what she was getting at.

"I do what exactly?" He said clearly stumped.

"You Love me?" Hermione said realizing that he didn't know what he did.

"How do you know?" He said looking shocked.

"Because, I think you accidentally told me in my mind." Draco looked embarrassed. But before he could speak again Hermione interrupted him. "I Love you too, Draco." She said. Draco inhaled sharply regretting it instantly.

"You do?" He said while trying to hide the pained look from the burning feeling in his chest that had exploded. He didn't realize that he hadn't been breathing since he was changed and that he didn't need to anymore. Hermione nodded trying to suppress the giggling at what Draco had just done.

"Yes, I have ever since we met." She admitted. Draco's eye's widened.

"You mean you still loved me after all those horrible names you called me?" He said clearly shocked. Hermione's eyes dropped to the floor.

"Yes, but you see, I could never trust you until now." That is why I have tried to convince myself to hate you. He smirked. He wasn't the only one here embarrassed anymore. He walked over to Hermione and held her close to him. Their heads started to drift closer together each lost in each others eyes, when some right behind them cleared the throats. They both snapped their heads to the side to see Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Luna Lovegood?

"What are you doing here?" Hermione said clearly shocked. Luna stepped up not a hint of the dreaminess she had once used was there. Her voice was demanding and forthright, but not rude.

"I want to be changed as well, I don not wish to become a Vampire like my father, I want to be the Supreme Being. I don't want to be just a disease." Luna said, She apparently expected to see Hermione confused at the demand or even say no, but she just nodded.

"Yes, in this war, we are going to need to have as much help as we can get." Luna nodded. Ron looked a little apprehensive, but decided that it was in their friendships best interest if he were to be changed as well. They all followed Hermione And Draco to the heads common room. They opened the door to find a very nervous looking Professor McGonaggal sitting on the couch in front of the fire.

"Professor?" Hermione said cautiously. She looked up at them fear evident in their eyes and tears started to fall down her cheeks. Hermione had never seen her look so old. She went over and knelt down beside her. Hermione for the first time realized that she had not been frightened of her but of something else.

"What the matter?" Hermione asked looking concerned.

"Professor Dumbledore…Albus, He's gone." She said as she broke down into tears. "He was taken by the Vampires. Don't you see Hermione? This is the start of the war!" McGonaggal said looking more frightened in her whole life. Hermione shushed her while she cried. They needed to change the others and go save Dumbledore. Suddenly a loud scream could be heard in the hallway outside of the common room. Mcgonaggals eyes flared and she gripped Hermione tightly. Hermione looked at her pale form and realized that she could not handle this. Hermione invaded her mind and told her to go to sleep and she would be awoken when the war was over, and she wouldn't remember a thing. The professor nodded dumbly and settled down for a nice long nap. Hermione immediately went to see what the problem was. She saw a whimpering Parvati laying on the floor crying.

"What are you on about?" Draco said snidely right behind Hermione. Hermione had a hell of a time trying to hide the smirk that had somehow made it on to her lips.

"Lavender, She tried to…" She started but she only cried harder as a wave of new tears flowed down her cheeks.

"Tried to what?" Hermione said growing rather impatient.

"She tried to have you expelled when the headmaster… he cut off her head!" She cried.

"WHAT!" an extremely confused Harry shouted from behind them.

"No Harry, It wasn't the headmaster. It was A Vampyre, disguised as him. Lavender is a Vampire. Well, was anyways." Hermione shrugged. We have to leave now. Parvati looked at her in awe.

"You are just going to leave?" Hermione nodded. Everyone followed her out of the common room and they headed towards the forbidden forest.
