Oh so long since I've written anything to any of my fics, but I'm back, I promise. I've been quite inspired lately so I'm going to restart those that I've left off and this is just the beginning. I'm hoping to have something added to another tomorrow or by tuesday at least. Enjoy. Please review :)

Hermione couldn't help but fall under the spell of the lips that were pressing so firmly against hers. Whoever this was happened to be a good kisser. Hermiones lips parted as a tongue found its way to her lips. Hermione moaned and arched herself into the kiss, her body being pressed against the body. It was starting to heat up a little too much to handle so Hermione quickly opened the door. Hermione gasped. The way that Draco had been acting toward her, she suspected him, but was completely wrong.

"Terry!" she screeched, pulling herself away from him and backing up against the bathroom wall. "What do you think you're doing?" she exclaimed.

"Not good enough for you?" Terry said, making his way toward her, his eyes shining. "Not Draco? Is that it? Well you were kissing back a few moments ago. You thought I was him didn't you" he spat, his body leaning into her.

"Terry don't do this. You're better than this" she whimpered. She could feel his teeth graze her earlobe and she shuddered. She tried to push him off of her but he pushed back against her roughly, leaving her incapable of moving.

"You want to fit in? Well I'll tell you how. Do as we tell you" he growled into her ear, his hands wandering her body.

"What do you mean we?" Hermione asked defenselessly. She prayed that someone would try to come and find her.

"Women death eaters do as the men tell them. So listen to me and do as you're told" he growled once more.

"Why should I" Hermione said indignantly, debating her actions.

"Because I said so" Terry snapped, grabbing her roughly. It was then that Hermione knew that she had had enough. Her left leg rose hard and fast to Terry's groin as he doubled over in pain. It was her chance to run, and run she did. She stumbled out of the bathroom, not even caring about getting a change of clothes or a new towel. She just knew that she had to get away and fast.

"Get back here Granger!" she could hear Terry yelling as she rounded the corner and into a soft body. She looked up into the steel-grey eyes of Draco Malfoy with a pleading look for help. Draco looked up as Terry rounded the corner, his face red and an angered expression set on his face.

"Granger?" Draco drawled. "I do believe it's Jugson, is it not, Hermione?" he said, turning to her as she clung to the back of him. She nodded quietly, hoping that Draco would take her side. Her chocolate curls were loose and matted from being forced upon.

"It doesn't matter what her name is, I wasn't done with her" Terry snarled at Draco. Draco cocked an eyebrow and pulled Hermione close to him, his arm snaked around her waist.

"If you'll remember what my father happened to tell your is that she's mine. We're betrothed you useless idiotic scumbag. Nobody touches her but me. And if I were you I would watch your back from now on" Draco seethed causing Terry to back off slightly. Terry then turned his attention toward Hermione.

"I wouldn't wander the halls of Hogwarts late at night alone if I were you" he said and stalked off around the corner leaving Hermione and Draco together and alone.

"Be-betrothed?" Hermione stuttered her eyes round.

"It's when you're to marry a specific person. God, I thought you would have at least known that" Draco said, studying her face for a moment and then turning his attention to his wand that was dangling between his fingers.

"I know what betrothed is, but I never in all my life thought I would be, and to you of all people" she said disbelievingly.

"Excuse me, I can hear you" Draco said, giving her a hurt look.

"Well it's just that you've hated me since first year and I've hated you since first year. I never in all my life would have thought that you would be the one I have to marry. I was hoping it would be Ronald. Oh please tell me that this is all a dream!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Sorry babe, this is no dream" Draco said, rather bored with the topic.

"Well is there any way out of this?" Hermione pleaded her hazel eyes searching Draco's rapidly.

"You really were deprived growing up, weren't you" Draco joked. Hermione pouted. "Fine, fine, no jokes. No there is absolutely no way out of this. Your parents as well as mine signed a contract when we were both born. There is a magical binding spell on the contract that seals us together for all eternity, so if I were you, I would get used to hanging out with the most gorgeous man on the face of planet Earth because it's forever and always, baby."

Hermione just stared at Draco. He was starting to scare her a bit. He wasn't being rude or making fun of her. He was joking, being sarcastic and all in all, she could actually stand him for once. Maybe life with him really wouldn't be all that bad.

"This means I'm going to have to break up with Ron, doesn't it" she sighed indifferently.

"I knew you and the red head were shagging!" Draco exclaimed.

"We weren't shagging!" Hermione said, her newly pale face tinting pink. "We were dating and in a relationship. That's probably more than you have to say for yourself" she snapped defensively.

"With as many death eaters that are in the house, I'd lose the attitude. None of them are scared to hex you, even if it is in front of your parents." Hermione lowered her face to the ground. She definitely had some adjusting to do.

"Ready to go back to the pool?" Draco asked, extending his arm out to her.

"Actually" Hermione said, biting her lip, "I think I want to go back to my room."

"You haven't even broken up with your boyfriend yet and now you're proposing we go for a good shag in your bedroom? Well I suppose our parents wouldn't mind that" Draco said, grinning and grabbing her hand quickly.

"NO!" she yelled, pulling her hand back. "That's not what I meant. I've never…I mean…oh just never mind" she said, completely flustered.

Draco chuckled. "I was joking Jugson. Get a grip" he said. "Well if you really want to go back to your room be cautious and don't stay too long. If your parents find out that you're skipping the party they'll go mad." And with that said, Draco Malfoy stalked away and out the doors.

Hermione let out a breath of relief. Alone at last. She quickly made her way along the winding corridors and up the staircases to her bedroom. She sat down at her desk and quickly scribbled down the events of the day in her diary finishing it off with another quote.

"I talk in my sleep, that's the one place I know no one can hear me."

After putting her diary to the side, she pulled out two pieces of parchment and dipped her quill in the inkwell. What was she going to tell them?

"Dear Ronald,

I hate to bestow this upon you but I'm afraid we cannot see each other anymore. Don't ask me why, I'm not allowed to explain. All I know is that I will not see you as much as I used to and am no longer capable of speaking to you. I hope that you understand.

Hermione."

Hermione sniffed back the tears as she tied the letter onto one of the family owls named Roscoe. She watched as it flew over the party, the familiar silver haired boy looking above as it flew overhead.

Hermione didn't want to write to Harry. She realized with so much happening in Harry's life that it would be too much to deal with. He would automatically assume the same after hearing about Rons letter.

It was then that the Death Eater meeting had ended as she could see her parents as well as others enter the backyard. Hermione scrambled down the stairs and slowed down as she neared the patio door. As she walked outside she lowered her towel as if she had only gone inside for a moment and lounged on the deck chair. She conveniently placed a pair of sunglasses on so she wouldn't have to look directly at her father. He could be scary.

"And where were you?" Tiffany asked as she and Derrek made their way toward her.

"Just in the washroom freshening up" she said boredly, raising her hand as if inspecting her nails. Tiffany and Derrek exchanged pleased glances and turned their attention back to her.

"We have a surprise for you, follow us Hailey dear" Derrek said, leading the way through the patio doorway.
