Chapter 35

"Alright class everyone calm down. It is time for Mr Josh Graham to give his report on his exchange to Hogwarts. Josh, please begin." The headmaster for Beauxbatons announced to everyone in there Great Hall.

Draco examined this room and noticed just how similar it was to Hogwarts. Apart from the odd table missing here and there, it's pretty much the same.

Josh stood up from his seat and walked very slowly to the front as to make sure he had every single person's attention, most importantly that of Draco's.

But Draco was too busy off in his own world reminiscing about Hermione.

Josh, being the stubborn person that he was, stomped right on Draco's foot as he walked past.

"Oops sorry about that, didn't see you" Josh said smugly before continuing his walk of fame.

Draco cursed under his breathe but upheld his staunch stature and simply smirked. Causing all the girls to giggle in excitement. "Oh my goodness he just smirked … isn't he just the sex on legs… I heard that he's known for being a Sex God over at Hogwarts… I'd tap that any day."

Even after the many compliments he was given everyday, none of them were what he wanted. None of them were Hermione.

Josh getting angrier because his plan backfired decided to get Draco back.

"Thank you headmaster. Yes I, Joshua Graham, went on an exchange over the time period of one fortnight. I have various pictures and reports on my stay there which I will present to you now."

Draco simply scowled. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to transfer to this fucked up school.

Josh then pulled out his wand and gave an evil smile directly at Draco. You'll get yours Draco.

Draco noticed this and looked back at him quizzically. What's he up to?

Josh continued with his report. "Here are some photos of me with my home stay Hermione Granger."

And with a flick of Josh's wand photos were exhibited in front of all the students so their would be one per person.

As if some one had slapped him on the face Draco's eyes fell on the photos Josh was displaying.

The first one was of her by herself with her Head girl badge and school uniform, smiling and waving to someone.

She's probably looking at Pothead or Weasel. I suspect Dumbledore gave that photo to him. Look at her. Isn't she an angel? God I miss her like hell.

Just as he was about to reach out for the picture it disappeared and a second photo came out of nowhere.

"This picture is of the Head boy and girl. Hermione Granger, my home stay and Draco Malfoy, who recently transferred to here."

Draco didn't know whether to laugh when he saw this picture.

They were both facing opposite ways, Draco wearing his famous smirk and Hermione looking disgusted.

Draco chuckled. If someone had told me when they had taken this photo I was going to fall in love with her I would have laughed in there faces.

"The next few photos are of the students and how they interacted in class, meal and leisure times."

The next few photos Draco saw were of his previous peers. He looked at them and smiled. Even when their was a photo of Pansy flirting with Crabbe he couldn't help but feel sad that he had left.

Did I make the right decision of moving here? Or was I only doing it because I'd get back into father's good books.

"And here is the last picture of me with my date Hermione at their ball."

Josh got Draco's attention before putting up the first picture, which he had achieved.

Then out of nowhere there in front of Draco was Josh and Hermione dancing to 'cha cha slide'. She looked absolutely radiant. Her beautiful curls fell down her back gracefully, her skirt hugged her in all the right places and the lighting in the room showed her best features.

Draco stared in wonder.

She's absolutely beautiful. But she looks so uncomfortable.

That's when he saw Josh come up from behind her and feel her up like a blind person reading Braille.

Throughout the room there were whistles and woohoos. But Draco was restraining himself from jumping up from his seat and killing every male present. Most importantly Joshua.

But as soon as Hermione had appeared, she was gone. Draco once again felt a pang of sadness inside.

"Well that is all I have time for today but I'll finish the rest of my report throughout the week." Josh concluded.

Everybody applauded and few yelled bravo. But Draco sat still contemplating the variety of ways to kill him.

I could let him starve to death. Or maybe he could 'accidentally' fall off his broomstick while he's flying and be paralysed for life. Hermione I miss you so much. I wonder if you're thinking of me too.

"You like what you see?" He said chuckling.

She snapped out of it. "Shut up Malfoy can you just put me on my bed?"

He nodded and placed her down gently. "Look…" He started playing with his hands nervously. "What happened just then, don't worry, Pansy is always crazy like that so… yeah."

She giggled. "Don't worry Draco I'm sure she's going through early stages of PMS or something."

She looked up to see a shocked expression on Draco's face. "What?"

She asked suspiciously.

"Did you not just hear yourself?" He asked crossing his arms.

She back tracked on what she just said. Then she realized.

"Um… that was just a mistake you know, slip of the tongue. Look Dra- I mean Malfoy you better leave now, I'm tired and it's too early in the morning to be-"

But she was cut off by Draco's lips.

She encouraged this even more by pulling him down, much to his amusement.

But then she thought about the situation. What if he uses me like he did the other night? I can't do this again.

She stopped abruptly and looked up into his eyes.

"I can't do this." She whispered loud enough for him to hear.

They both just stayed in that position for what seemed like forever until finally Draco spoke up.

"What do you mean you can't do this? Is there something wrong Granger?" He asked still stuck in her trance.

She looked down. "Exactly that. You can't even say my first name and when I brought the other night up you called me mud blood. I can't do this if you're not committed to us."

She lay still and waited for him to answer. He didn't. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She knew what his answer was. But to her surprise Draco brought his hand up and wiped her tear away.

"Look, if you think that I'm some sort of broken ass guy who has a heart and cries in chick flicks you are sadly mistaken."

She gave him a look of hate and quickly tried to get up but was stopped by his arm blocking her.

"But if you think that I have watched you from afar and am unable to believe my own eyes at your beauty, have had to put up with Potter and Weasel feeling you up and trying to sustain my anger, having to remind myself over and over again that I can't have you, hold you in my arms and fall asleep smelling your scent, then yes you are right… Hermione."

"AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!" Hermione jumped up from her bed and felt sweat trickling down her cheeks.

She heard loud footsteps heading towards her room until finally her door swung open.

"Herms what's wrong I heard you scream." Harry said groggily rubbing his eyes.

She covered herself up. "I'm sorry Harry, I just had a nightmare."

Harry giggled. "Come on Herms, you're how old and you're still having nightmares. Good night." He winked at her before closing the door behind him.

Hermione fell back onto her bed trying to calm herself down.

Why do I keep dreaming about that memory? Is it some sort of fricken sign? How did I get myself into this? Draco, what are you doing to me? I miss you so much. If it wasn't for that stupid prophecy we'd still be together and I would have said I love you back instead of lying. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?! Are you thinking about me to Draco?

Hermione sighed one more time before falling back to sleep.

A/N: Okay guys, I think I'm getting my rhythm back. I hope everyone likes this chapter. And selene13 Oh my gosh I'm so surprised and happy you're reading my fic, because I love yours. Thank you everyone. Please no burns. MWAH.
