Reviewers: Thank you guys soo much for reviewing! So sorry for not updating for so long! Guess I've been really busy! Here's another chapter!

"No, not that," Hermione said. "I just realized something."

"What?" Blaise asked.

"Do you think Draco's supposed to help us?"

"What do you mean?"

"Remember when our dads were fighting? Someone from Draco's clan helped them. Do you think Draco's supposed to help us?"

"I guess so. I don't know, maybe?"

"Maybe it's fate." Draco suggested.

"Maybe, but I don't know. I wish we could talk to someone about it…" Hermione whispered.

"Maybe we can." Blaise said.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that our parents left so many trunks, maybe we can look through them."

"Maybe," Hermione replied. "How do we even know if anyone will help us?" Draco turned to look at her.

"What exactly do you mean by that?" Draco asked.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I meant what if no one's going to help us? What if we're supposed to fight alone?"

"Either way, it won't hurt to look in the trunks will it?" Blaise asked.

"I guess not." Hermione replied. She felt sick and wanted to go to sleep. Draco was watching her.

"Do you trust me?" Draco asked.

"What?"

"Do you trust me?" Draco repeated.

"Of course I trust you. What are you talking about?"

"Then it doesn't matter if I'm supposed to help you or not, that will happen when it does. For now though, you know I wouldn't let anything hurt you. I love you, don't I?"

"I'm sorry Draco. I'm so sorry. I never meant for you to feel like that. You can't leave me, or I…I don't know what I'd do. I love you, too. I'm just confused, that's all." Tears were streaming down her face. Draco went to her and wrapped his arms around her. Blaise came and stood facing her.

"Shh, sweetheart, it's not your fault. Let's just all go to sleep and we'll talk about this in the morning." Draco told her.

"Relax, sweetie. Everything's going to be fine and you know it. We're always here for you and I think that a night of rest will do you some good. So we'll go to bed." Blaise added. Hermione nodded and Draco carried her to her room. He left the room so she could change and sat down next to Blaise.

"You guys have a lot of explaining to do."

"All in good time," Blaise answered. Hermione opened the door and turned to face them.

"Aren't you guys sleeping?"

"In a bit, you go on. We'll be up in a bit, okay?" Blaise said. She nodded and went up and lay in bed.

Meanwhile, Draco turned to Blaise. "Care to tell me what all this is about?"

"Guess I'd better start at the beginning. Well as you know, our parents knew each other. They used to work together to guard something, something which we have to guard now. As Mione said earlier, they often had to fight. Sometimes they needed help, and Jeanafria, from your clan, helped them. Together, they had a slight bond, not like between my dad and Mione's dad and our moms, but a bond anyway. Well anyways, they fought together and only because of him, our dads survived. The thing which they had to guard, well, it was something everyone wanted, so…they all fought. In the end, our parents died doing what they had done for so long, fighting. So the power went down to me and Mione. We had to fight and guard the secret item. Even now, we still guard it. Anyways, as I said before, people want it. Obviously right, but anyways we've been attacked a lot of times before. Once it was Cole, and we didn't know we were being attacked. When we realized, we had already lost a lot of strength, here's the thing with Cole: he can cause injuries with his mind. So in the end, we finally beat him, but we lost a lot of strength and power doing it." Draco was starring at Blaise. "Well now you know, that's our secret."

"Uh, yeah, that is one heck of a story."

"Story of our life," Blaise replied. He didn't know what else to say.

"Well, I think it's amazing that you guys do what you do and if I can help, I will. Don't worry, I got your back." Blaise smiled and the two boys hugged. Hermione had come out and she saw the two boys in their embrace. She smiled as she watched the two.

"Well, it's about time we got up and slept too." Draco said.

"Your right, we can't leave Mione to herself for that long!"

"HEY! Blaise, you are such a cow!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Ha, I knew you were out of bed and here, so I said it."

"Babe, what are you doing out of bed?" Draco asked.

"I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come down to you two." Hermione replied softly.

"Come on then, let's go sleep."

"But I can't sleep," Hermione replied.

"Come on, Mione. Let's go. We'll stay awake with you, but might as well be in bed." Blaise said. She nodded and the three of them headed into her room. They were all going to sleep together just in case. Slowly, they all drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Draco woke up first. He walked out and went into his own bathroom. He let the cold water hit his face and relaxed as he took a quick shower. After everything that had happened in the past day had really tired him out. He figured it was worth it though.

As he got out of the shower and pulled on his clothes, he thought about what he would be doing if his father was still alive. He wouldn't even be able to imagine being here with Hermione and Blaise. Especially not with Hermione, he realized that he had gotten so close to her in a short time. He was happy, though. He really liked her, correction; he thought to himself, he loved her. His mom knew who his soul mate was, she just wouldn't tell him. He had a feeling that it might be Hermione though. He smiled at the thought and went down to the common room. He grabbed a book and some ice and water, and sat down to read.

Hermione woke up. She did a spell so that she was clean and changed her clothes. She went down to the common room and took care so as not to wake Blaise. She saw Draco sitting there and walked over to him.

Draco looked up and saw Hermione looking down at him. He put his book down and pulled her into his lap. "Well, what are you doing up so early, and reading too?" Hermione asked, shocked.

"Hmm, is that really the way you feel?" Draco replied and slowly, he started tickling her. Hermione kept laughing and tried to stop Draco.

"Draco, STOP!"

"Hmm, I don't know if I should…"

"Draco!" Hermione shrieked.

"Okay, but you have to say 'Draco is the hottest man on Earth and there is no man that is sexier!'"

"Fine! Draco is the hottest man on Earth and there is no man that is sexier!" Draco started laughing, but he stopped tickling her. "That wasn't very funny!" Hermione told him.

"Trust me, it was. You should have seen the look on your face."

"Draco Lucius Malfoy!"

"Yes darling?" Draco replied, still laughing. Hermione started tickling him. Draco grabbed her arms and pulled her toward him. He kissed her lips and said, "Don't even try it."

"You Draco Malfoy, are an annoying, pompous headed, arrogant brat!"

"You don't mean that." Draco said with a smirk.

"Oh I do!"

"No, you don't."

"And how do you know I don't?"

"Because, I know you, don't I"

"Do you now?" Hermione asked softly. "Okay, maybe you do…" She added huskily. She kissed him lightly on the lips and started to kiss his neck softly. "You're very handsome, you know."

"Don't you forget it," He replied and gave her better access to his neck.

Slowly, Hermione grabbed the ice from the side table. She moved forward and kissed his lips. At the same time, she dumped the ice down Draco's shirt. She moved back and ran into one of the rooms.

Draco pulled out the ice from in his shirt and went to the room she had gone in. He very slowly opened the door and saw that she was inside. He quietly opened the door and grabbed her waist. "Well, well, well, look who I caught."

"Draco, I'm very sorry." Hermione pouted.

"Uhuh, I'm sure you are."

"But I am…I'll do anything you want…" Hermione said in her sweetest voice.

"Hmmm, you'll do anything?" Hermione looked at him, astonished.

"You don't expect me to do that, do you!"

"Do what?" Draco asked, innocently.

"You know what. Draco…please."

"No, of course not, but now, my back is hurting because of some very cold ice that somehow got there." Draco teased.

"I can massage it for you…?"

"Really, are you serious?"

"Yes, do you want me to?"

"Fine."

"Lie down." They were in Draco's room so he just lay down on the bed. "Take off you shirt, too." He pulled it over his head and set it down beside him. Hermione slowly started to massage his back. A few minutes later, they both heard something crash outside. Draco turned around, pulled his shirt over his head and dashed out of the room.
