DISCLAMATION: I think you guys get the gist of it by now. I don't own anything J.K. Rowling does blah blah blah.

Hey everyone. Sorry it took me this long to update. I was on holiday for a month and then I had writer's block for a while. I'll probably be ending this fic in the next two or three chapters. It was my birthday on the 20th. I'm finally 16. Yay! Anyway read on and do review.

CHAPTER 8

The next day after her final lesson Hermione headed straight for her common room.

" Hey!" said Draco as she entered.

" Hi!"

Hermione came and sat next to him.

" So did you speak to Pansy?"

" You don't beat around the bush, do you? Well no … not yet."

" Draco I don't want her yelling at me in the corridors. It's embarrassing … in front of everyone."

" I know I have to do something about or people will find out about us."

" So you don't want anyone to know about us?"

" No. People can know about us. I just don't want Voldemort to be any of those people."

Draco walked to the Slytherin common room. He went up to a group of first years ( who recoiled in fright when they saw him coming towards them ) and asked them where Pansy was.

At that moment he heard a scream behind him.

" Draco!"

" Pansy!" exclaimed Draco putting on a mock smile.

" I need to speak to you," he said as he caught hold of her arm and dragged her out of the common room and into a nearby empty classroom.

" Draco stop you're hurting me."

" Listen to me," said Draco sternly, " You will never ever threaten Hermione again."

" But … but Draky darling I love you."

" You probably say that to every single guy you sleep with whore," said Draco disgusted.

" You're gonna marry me Draco. You wait and see. I know you will."

" I'd rather kill myself than do something that idiotic. Just leave my girlfriend alone," said Draco before walking out.

That evening Harry and Ron walked to the Quidditch pitch. They each took turns riding the Firebolt before making their way back to the castle again.

The two of them headed back to the Gryffindor common room talking animatedly about Quidditch when they bumped into Ginny.

" Ginny!" said Harry.

" Harry!" said Ginny meekly.

" Ron!" exclaimed Ron.

Harry and Ginny glared at him.

" Fine … fine I'm going. Harry I'll see you back at the common room."

" So how have you been?" asked Harry.

" Okay I guess and you?"

" Same here. I've missed you. Ginny I know what I did was wrong. But you don't how sorry I am. I really want to give 'us' another chance."

" I … I don't know Harry. I need to think over it.

Could you give me some time?"

" Yeah … sure. I'll see around."

" Yep. Bye Harry!"

Harry entered the common room and found Ron waiting for him.

" So did the two of you make up?" asked Ron.

" We … we talked about class and stuff. Not about that."

" Yeah and I'm a fairy with tutu wings."

" Oh shut up. Let's just do our homework."

" Oh bloody hell!" exclaimed Ron seriously, "When did you become Hermione?"

The next few weeks passed quickly. Harry and Ginny got back together and they both looked really happy.

The only thing that worried Hermione was that Draco had become really moody and reclusive. But Hermione had pushed the thought to the back of her head.

A couple of days later Draco came up to her.

" Hermione there's something I have to tell you."

" What is it?"

" Well not here."

Hermione followed Draco as he led her to the Room of Requirement. He walked past it three times and a door appeared.

Draco walked in and Hermione followed. What she saw made her jaw drop.
