Time To Tell

A/N: Disclaimer in first few chapters!

Hermione cautiously knocked on the door to Draco's apartment and heard a hoarse "coming!" in response. As she listened , there was a lot of scrambling and a girlish giggle. The brunette witch paled and braced herself for the worst. The sound of the latch clicking suddenly sounded very loud and she winced at the noise. But..Blaise Zabini opened the door with his hair all mussed and a woman's lipstick smeared all over his mouth. His eyes lit up mischievously as he saw her.

"Drake!" the dark skinned male called out. "You're fiancee's here!"

A long string of curses followed this exclamation. Hermione had relaxed at the sight of Blaise but now she tensed up again as she assumed the worst. The man opposite her frowned, looking at her oddly before walking across the small space between them and placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Granger, relax." he ordered her softly, chuckling quietly as she jumped to do what she was told. "He is not cheating on you...you're thoughts are written all over you're face," he answered her unspoken question and she blushed before looking over his shoulder when she heard a snort. Her fiancee was standing there, looking exactly how she had left him this morning...well not exactly as he was properly dressed this time. She didn't waste any time. Breaking out of Blaise's grip, she rushed towards her lover and threw her arms around him, smothering him in kisses.

"I thought you were cheating on me, Draco." she whispered and the blonde man's eyes softened, kissing her back with soft kisses.

"I'd never do that 'Mione," he replied, burying his face in her hair. "I love you."

"I love you, too" was her equally loving reply.

"Awwww!" a feminine voice cried and something clicked in the Brightest Witch of Her Age's head.

"Pansy Parknison's here, isn't she? That's who i heard kissing him?" she reasoned as she jerked her thumb back to Draco's best friend.

"Oh, bravo, Granger!" said girl mocked, clapping her hands together in a jeering salute.

"Nice to see you too, Parkinson" the brunette sighed tiredly, resting her head against Draco's shoulder.

"What, no response from the bushy haired know-it all freak?" the beautiful girl mock gasped, clasping a hand to her heart.

"Oh just call me a mudblood and get it over with, Parkinson" Hermione shot back, already lifting her head off her fiancee's shoulder and walking away. She had not even taken two steps when she felt Draco's gentle grip on her wrist.

"That word will not be used when I'm around" the blonde hissed, pressing a pale finger to her lips when she made to open her mouth to say something. Pansy's dark eyes glinted and looking smug, she closed the space between them and bringing a finger up, she trailed the digit up Draco's arm up to his shoulder. When he didn't do anything to stop her, she took her left hand, splaying it fully onto his back and, taking her index finger on her right hand, she used it to trace figures of eight onto the skin of his neck. That was the boundary she expected because the choclate eye's of the woman he held in his arms filled up with tears and she made to break from his grasp. He held onto her though, wrapping two muscled arms around her middle.

"Get off, Parkinson." he gritted out in between clenched teeth. The girl backed off but sent a menacing triumphant look towards the woman in his arms. Hermione glanced away from Draco's "friend" even as tears started rolling down her face.

"You have some nerve, Parkinson and Draco." she started angrily, struggling to get out of his arms. "As you can see, Pansy, I have grown up and forgotten about all the prejudice before the war and I would be willingly to be friends with you if it wasn't for that stunt you just pulled. In case you have forgotten, he is MY fiancee! NOT YOURS! And don't think you're getting away with this Draco! You didn't stop her when she insulted me or when she touched you all over. This is like Ron all over again except I was here the entire time! I love you, Draco..I really do but I think we might have to re-evaluate our relationship.." she finished sadly.

"Hermione..." whispered a heart broken Draco. "You can't possibly mean that. After all we've gone through, we can't just end it here. Please...just hear me out...?"

"Fine." Hermione nodded curtly.

"I was getting my suit sorted for our big day and I invited Blasie over to help me." his voice sounded strained with nerves and his grip on her waist tightened until she gasped. he let go hastily, rubbing his hands together frantically until she took his hands to calm him down. "Little did I know that he would bring his girlfriend with him, a girlfriend that still hung onto the fantasy that we would somehow end up together. I know that will never happen though because I love you with everything I have. When she touched me, I didn't do anything because I was in such a state of shock that she would DARE to do such a thing when I SPECIFICALLY TOLD HER NOT TO!" he roared, ripping his hands from his girlfriend's grasp and stalking over to the dark haired girl. "Never insult Hermione again and NEVER EVER touch me like that again. We are over and have been over since fourth year so go and set up a sweet little family with you're real boyfriend. If you ever come over and do something like that again, I will make sure that you never get in to this apartment again." At this stage, Draco had backed Pansy into a wall and had frightened her so much that she was trembling. Hermione saw this and even though she hated what had transpired today, she didn't like seeing someone who was scared.

"Draco..." she murmured, reaching for him and pulling him away from Pansy. "I love you...it's okay...the wedding is still on." He turned around and slipped his arms around her, putting his head into the crook of her neck and sighing as she ran her hands soothingly over his back.

Glancing up, she saw Pansy in tears as Blasie scolded her for he behavouir. suddenly, his posture softened and he enveloped her in a warm hug. Coming out of the hug, Pansy made a beeline for the couple and tapped Hermione on the shoulder. The brunette witch whirled around and felt Draco tense up beside her.

"Look Granger I-I..." the girl stumbled over her words trying to apoligise. Hermione didn't say anything, just wrapped her arms around the other girl. Pansy went stiff but eventually responded.

"I'm sure you have a good reason for doing what you did but you don't have to explain if you are uncomfortable with it." Hermione said, letting her go and resting her hands on her shoulders. "Get over you're prejudice and call me Hermione because I figure that you are going to be stuck with me for a while." that cracked a smile from the other witch.

"Thank you...Hermione..."Pansy muttered shyly.

"Oh, Draco!1" the talented witch whipped around so fast that she nearly slipped.

"I need to tell you something." she told the astonished wizard who made a gesture with his hands to tell him.

"I am one of the lead dancers in Riverdance."
