Chapter 9

During breakfast the next morning I noticed that Draco was once again looking for someone, and I knew I needed to tell him soon. After I finished eating I noticed people were watching something I looked and noticed Abby walking towards me so I held out my hand to her and she came and crawled into my lap. She started telling me about last night and in the middle of a sentence she asked "Myna will you teach me to fly?"

I looked at her and said "why don't you ask your brother or Blaise and Draco, because I don't fly."

"Because I want you there with me, Blaise, Draco will you teach me how to fly?"

Blaise said "why not, well get our brooms and you ask your brother and meet us in the entrance hall."

"Ok" and with that she ran to her brother and Draco asked "so why don't you fly?"

"I just don't I never liked It."

and then I saw a sly smirk spread across his face before they left to get their brooms. I walked over to Josh and Abby and she said "Were going to go ask Ginny well see you in the entrance hall."

he looked at me before I was dragged away and I could tell he was slightly nervous. We got to Ginny and I had to pull my robes back on.

Abby said "Ginny do you want to come with Me, Myna, Blaise, Draco and Josh to go flying?"

"Sure sounds like fun"

"Ginny you can't go with them 3 of them are Slytherins"

"and your point is?" I said

"Because we don't associate with each other."

"Good grief, if you let houses get in the way of friendship then how do you keep this school together? I mean really quit being Racist. Neither Blood nor color means anything."

I put my hand on one of the black guy's shoulders and said "you talk to him why can't you talk to people in other houses? Now I think Abby is becoming impatient because she wants to learn to fly. If you want you can watch but no trouble, I want to have fun." and with that Abby grabbed both mine and Ginny's hands and dragged us out of the hall.

The boys were waiting and asked "What took so long"

Ginny said "the wonder boys" and we left and walked to the pitch.

Josh asked "where is your broom?"

"Oh Accio broom, its coming"

We made it to the pitch and the boys started teaching Abby the basics on one of the school brooms. She seemed to take to it quite easily and I started to think she is a very special girl.

Ginny grinned at me and asked "So how did you get those 2 to so willingly come out here to teach her to fly?"

"Well Blaise and I talked over the summer and we have the same ideas as does my family, well the Zabini's anyways. Plus u learned a lot in America the majority of people there are very accepting even the muggles try to do their own witchcraft it's quite interesting."

"But what about Malfoy?"

"I haven't figured him out yet but he made the mistake of calling Abby Mudblood in front of me and I chewed him out on the train it was before you came in, and I also griped some of the Slytherins out last night at supper for basically the same thing. I said blood and race don't matter its how you use the talent you were given and basically that if you cant prove yourself in a classroom or in a duel then you had no bragging rights."

"Wow and they didn't come back with anything?"

"Silence I deflated their ego's some I think. But Draco is different I think most of the time he might just be acting. so who exactly is this Hermionie?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering."

"She used to go here this summer she disappeared and no one has been able to find her. She was my best friend along with Harry and Ron but I think they upset her before we left she didn't really talk n the train home. I kind of wondered if she transferred but then Dumbledor hasn't been able to find her either. I think he would have known if she transferred since she would have to have her transcripts and such."

"But if she was your friend and Gryffindors and Slytherins don't get along then why did he seem worried? Maybe shouldn't be asking you Please don't say anything to anyone else I don't want to get anyone in trouble I know that Lord Moldy Pants is influential here, but I suppose most of his followers are Slytherins."

"Don't worry I wont say anything, but you make a point unless there was something She didn't tell me which if she did befriend him then it kind of makes sense he doesn't seem to talk anymore didn't even look at me with the usual glare when I walked in."

soon Abby was flying around low to the ground slowly rising she was chasing Blaise.

Draco flew over with Josh and he said "She's a natural"

"Yea its strange it took me awhile to get used to the broom she took to it right away."

"I think we can expect some good things from her. Actually she reminds me of someone, except for the flying thing."

I asked "Who?"

"Hermionie now that you mention it she seems ready for anything."

"Yea I know."

I looked at Draco and he was watching Abby. Josh broke the silence with "Ginny are you going to fly or not?"

"Yea, are you going to fly Myna?"

"Oh defiantly not I never liked the feeling of having to rely on something like a broom underneath me."

"Oh come on you can fly with me unless you don't trust me?"

"I just met you but I suppose Blaise trust you so I guess I do but I'm not flying."

"Come on Myna it's just like sitting outside on a windy night and I know you like to do that." said Josh

"I think your out numbered. I promise I won't let you fall."

I sighed "If you drop me I will hurt you."

he smiled and helped me onto the broom in front of him and showed me where to put my hands and he put his in front of mine. He whispered into my ear "Are you ready?"

I was too scared to talk so I just nodded and he slowly rose from the ground. As we got higher I closed my eyes and I heard Abby say "Open your eyes you chicken."

I opened my eyes and looked at her and she smiled at us and Winked to Draco and he said "Now for the wind in your hair." and with that he took off and I couldn't help but scream.

We flew for a while until he said "I want to show you something." He took me to a place I had seen before and once again it was De Ja Vu. It was a beautiful place that not many people knew was on campus. It was where the underground spring that fed the Great lake came above ground and it was peaceful there were some benches sitting around which meant that people had found this place but not to many.

If you read some small print in Hogwarts: A history you knew the place was called Couples Grove and many people had been brought here to be asked a certain question and the myth was that if you were proposed to here then it meant you would be together forever and nothing would come between your love for each other, but only if you were truly in love. I looked around and turned to Draco with a smile

"I read about this place but it even more pretty than I thought it would be."

"My Grandfather told me about this place he told me he proposed to my Grandmother here, Father said it was a load of rubbish he told me to marry for money like he did instead of marrying for love. I never really believed him though my Grandparents were more of my family they raised me pretty much and my mother did too but she was made to attend every function by my fathers side, she was a trophy bride to him he never loved her but sadly she was in love with him. He got her killed this summer He disappointed the Dark Lord so he killed her. I was there it was in my house I wasn't supposed to be there. When they left I brought her body to Dumbledor and he let me burry her right here and I placed this bench here in her honor."

he stood there for a while and I didn't realize that I had been crying. I walked over to him and said "Draco I have something to tell you."

he looked at me and said "I know I could feel it I was drawn to you just like I was her when you talked about Abby and muggle-borns I saw the same fire in your eyes that she had. I sensed your fear when I asked you to fly It was the same fear she had. I saw your eyes in her your true self always seemed to come out when you were around me when Potter upset her your eyes were showing when she came to me. I couldn't say anything though I needed you to tell me that my best friend was still alive."

with this he looked into my eyes and he let his tears fall I reached up and wiped them away and said "Hermionie is still alive. I have just found out who I was I didn't know how to tell you till now, when I knew you needed her. I will never leave you Draco."

my hand was still on his cheek and he brought his hand up to mine and then shocked us both when he Kissed me.
