A Life To Remember
Chapter 11

"Hermione!" Draco yelled chasing after her, however she ignored him and kept running.

She ran outside the big oak doors and continued running towards the lake. Tears were streaming down her eyes as she ran.

"Hermione!" Draco hollered picking up the pace, he watched as she dropped her bags and he did the same running faster as he noticed her running towards the lake.

Her knees started to wobble and she didn't know where she was going, she went to go stop but instead she tripped falling into the lake. She tried swimming up but at the thought of drowning she began to panic.

Draco watched as she fell into the lake, he ran faster and watched as she began to panic without thinking he dove in after her, bringing her up. He helped her up onto the land and looked at her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked holding her.

"Tell you what? How was I supposed to know, Draco you and I were friends when we were young, and your father destroyed that,"

"Hermione I didn't know, other wise I would have done everything in my power to help you remember, Hermione this last month and a half has been killing me, and seeing that dream made me confused like it did you, but I do know one thing my father already took away our friendship, I'm not willing to loose that again are you?"

"How can you even ask that?" She cried. "Draco of course I want to be your friend but seeing you with another girl, I know that I can't even think of having you, even when I am ready to go out with you, but even now I'm not sure that I'll ever be ready," She stood up and started walking away from him.

"Wait let me take you to the dance then," He hollered after her.

"I'm not going," was all she yelled back before she once again ran off.

……………………………………………………………………………………………..

Hermione watched as students by many went down stairs to the Great Hall dressed up for the dance. But not her, instead she was just down the hall from the library. She was going to study instead.

She watched as Chloe ran over to Draco, but he didn't look too happy.

Hermione looked away and then walked down to the library.

…………………………………..

She looked at the time; another hour and a half and the dance would be over with.

"You know Miss Granger," Came professors Dumbledore's Voice. "A student like you deserves to have fun,"

"I know sir, I just-" He held up a hand to silence her.

"I have a feeling if you ask Mr. Malfoy he'll be more then willing," He smiled and left. After a few seconds Hermione too left.

She walked over to the great hall doors in the gown she bought

She didn't know if this was a good idea, but then suddenly the doors opened.

She slowly walked through the doors only to find Chloe and Draco dancing. She started to walk towards them but stopped and turned around, walking back out.

"So your telling me you didn't have one feeling towards me?" Draco asked Chloe.

"No, I did it to help you and Hermione realize that you two liked each other, truth is I happen to like Ron," She smiled and looked at Ron, but not before she saw Hermione walking through the Great Hall doors.

"I don't understand?"

"Look all I've heard is nothing but you and Hermione liking each other and not one of you has told each other, but enough about that I'm going to find Ron, It was fun being your girlfriend, and I hope we can still be friends, but right now Misses Right is about to leave," She smiled and kissed him on the cheek he then looked over to Hermione's retrieving back walking out of the Great Hall.

…………………..

Hermione walked out of the Great Hall, she took off her mask and was about to cry but stopped herself when she heard a familiar voice.

"I think you look beautiful without the mask,"

She turned around and faced Draco.

"Draco what are you doing?" She asked.

"Look let me talk ok, today me and Chloe broke up, apparently she didn't even like me, but she did help me realize that I like you, a lot, and if I have too I'll wait for you, no more other girlfriends, I want to give it a chance between me and you first, cause no matter what I'm not going to loose you again, just let me know when your ready," He smiled.

Hermione started tearing up but Draco wiped them away.

"Don't cry, right now I would love to have a dance with this beautiful girl in front of me,"

He offered her his hand and smiling she took it, walking in to the Great Hall.

In Hermione's room, her Care of Magical Creature egg started to glow a bright white, before a little leg popped out. A little creature then fully emerged from the egg. Little horns on the top of its head and it was fuzzy all around. With no legs or feet.

Then once again the little creature started glowing a bright white, squeaking and titling his body.

………………………………………………………………………….

Ok there is a reason why the creature is glowing and anyone who's read the last/older version of this story should know why. Until then I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
