Thanks for the reviews! BTW I dont picture Draco like he is in the movies. I picture him waay better looking.

*HM pov*

"Well Hermione you look exhausted. Maybe you should go take a nap. Was work challenging today?" Narcissa asked as I got home.

"You could say that," I said with a small smile, "I think I will follow your advice. See you at dinner."

Today was not just challenging, but irritating, I thought as I started up the stairs. After hours of my usual work, I had to figure out which chemo, and it's amount, would be best for David It's so frustrating because I CAN'T make a mistake. I open the door to the 'common room' and pause as I yawn. Wow I'm tired.

Wait!? Did I just see someone disappear into Draco's room? I'm probably hallucinating, but I think I need to check. I swear I saw something. I make my way across the room and open the door. I look around and no one is in there. Silly me

I was just about to shut the door, when I hear someone talking from the bathroom, "Draco honey, is that you?"

Well duh it's not Draco? You just disappeared in here when you saw me come in the common room! Whoever this is, is retarded

All my thinking stops. Draco's ex girlfriend just walked out of the bathroom! Emily, I think was her name. Why is she in here? And did she say honey before?

"Well hello there, who are you?" Emily says with a fake innocence.

I narrow my eyes, "The question is, why are you here?"

"I'm here, because this is where my boyfriend lives. why else would I be here?" She says back, rather rudely.

My insides churn. could she still be his girlfriend? I mean how else could she be in here? Draco must want her here, or else she couldn't get into his house, let alone bedroom.

"How did you get in here?" I asked rather weakly.

"I have a key," She says with a gloating smile.

I feel as though I'm going to get sick! How could I have ever have thought Draco honestly liked me? How am I going to marry him when he has a girlfriend?! I couldn't on a good conscience marry him. According to the law, I have to

"You must be that girl he was supposedly arranged to. did you ever seriously think you'd be good enough for him?" She asked snottily.

"I-you-this" I say in shock

"Yes well I'm quite busy, so I must be going. Tell Drake I stopped by! See you around!" She says, and she hurries out of the room.

I stand there in shock for what seems like hours. I have never felt so worthless in my entire life. I feel like a five year old completely lost. I rush back into my room, and begin to pack the essentials. I'll come back for the other stuff later or better, send Ron. HA that'd be funny to see

I was just about to leave when I remembered I didn't have my mum's diary. Where did I put it? I couldn't remember. I checked under my mattress, in my bedside table drawer, and in my trunk. where did I put it?! Think Hermione. think! The bookshelf! DUHH I hurry over, take it off the shelf, and add it to my bag.

Suddenly the door opens. I turn quickly to see who it is

"Mione, have you seen my cologne? I saw it this morning. I went to put it on before dinner, and- What's the matter? Why are you crying?" He asks as I hurry past him and sprint towards the door.

I don't look back. I just keep running down the now familiar hallways. The JERK! The nerve of him! I was sad before I saw him, but now I'm just angry! I guess I hadn't realized I was crying, and I hate showing weakness. I will NEVER talk to him again!

"Mione! What the bloody hell?" I hear him call from above me as I sprint down the stairs. I was just getting to the door when I hear Draco yell, "Binkley STOP HER!"

Suddenly I can't open the door. It's locked! Stupid Binkley. I never liked him! And Draco commanded him?! How rude! I pull out my wand to blast the door down, but Draco grabs my arm.

He's breathing slightly harder from the run, "As I said before, what the bloody hell?!"

I take a deep breath, and say in a cold voice, "Please let me go, and open this door."

"I should think not! All I did was come into your room and ask for my cologne. It was in my room this morning, but wasn't when I got home from work. I fail to see what is offensive about tha-"

"Think Malfoy, think really hard," I interrupt him, "Is there something you're doing that would make me mad?"

He looks shocked as I say Malfoy and then confused, "No?"

"I can't believe you! I saw her! She was in your room when I got home from work! Your GIRLFRIEND just left!" I yell, noticing Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy standing in the door from the kitchen.

"Who?" He asked looking confused.

"Don't try to lie to me, I KNOW," I pause taking deep breaths, trying to control myself, "I'll send someone for my stuff tomorrow, so you won't have to deal with it. I CAN'T believe you'd do this!"

"You can't believe I did WHAT?" He asks with exasperation.

"I can't believe you're still playing the confused card! I thought you were better than that! Just own up to it DRAKE. Emily told me all about it!" I yell and yank my arm out from his grasp. He must have loosened it when he realized I knew the truth. I don't even look at him. I just turn to leave, but he turns me back around.

"Mione," he says in a soothing voice, "I don't know what she told you, but none of it's true-"

How could he?! And he's still trying to lie! I can't believe I started to have feelings for his bloody arse! Well that ends here, and I'm going to show him!

"Oh Malfoy," I interrupt with an angry tone, "I don't want to hear it! She was in your ROOM! No one who isn't wanted can get in the Manor. Save your lies for someone who cares to listen-" He tries to interrupt, but I continue even more angry, "Now let me GO!"

"No, you NEED to listen to me!" He sounds as if he's starting to get angry too. Well good. At least we're on the same page now.

"No YOU listen. I'm done! I'm not one of those girls you can cheat on every week Malfoy. Even if I wasn't so sure about us, at least I didn't try and go find someone else, or continue to date Ron!" I finish and blast the door open with my wand. I take off towards the yard.

"Just hear me out!" He says as he comes after me.

As I'm nearing the apparition point I turn around, "I will not hear you out, and you want to know why?!" I asked, but didn't give him time to reply, "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU TODAY! I WILL HATE YOU TOMORROW! AND I WILL MOST LIKELY HATE YOU FOR FOREVER! SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE-… OWW!"

I finish as he grabs my arm, just as I was about to apparate away. Dang, and that would have been thee best last thing to say to him

"You don't mean that," He says seriously.

"Yes I do!" I say with a glare.

"NOW YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME, BECAUSE IF YOU APPARATE, I'M COMING WITH YOU." He says angrily, but then clears his throat, "Well, now that you're all ears, I have a few things to say." I wipe my tear stained face, and roll my eyes. "I don't hate you, even if you hate me. I realized the day I let you debate BLOODY POTTER into our wedding, that something was up. I still don't know how you did it, but you did. You stand up to me and make your own decisions. That's why I don't understand why you're listening to my ex-girlfriend who is deadly jealous of us!" He finished, and raises his eyebrow mockingly.

He has some nerve to mock me at a time like this. Why would she be jealous of me? "She. Was. In. the. House! How else would she have been in there?! I'm not a ditz MALFOY! THERE IS NO US!" I yell as I shoot water in his face, and for a second his grasp weakens, so I yank my arm away and apparate far away from him, and his cheating self!

Now I can proudly say. I will never talk to Draco Malfoy again. and I mean it this time.

…

*knock* knock*knock*

I wait as I hear shuffling in side. Good she's here! well where else WOULD she be?

"Hello- Hermione dear! What a surprise! Come on in," Grandma said as she ushered me in. I walk over and take a seat on the sofa in defeat.

"Honey it's Thursday you know that right?" She asks as she sits opposite of me on an old chair.

I look at her guiltily, "Grandma, you know I want to come over here more often, but I'm usually so tired after work. I'd be no fun at all."

"Oh sweetie I didn't mean it like that! I was just surprised to see you that's all, and wondering why you were here," she paused and seeing that I was in no condition to explain she continued, "My friend Sally, from church. She almost never sees her granddaughter! Sometimes not even once a month. I pity her, you know! She's just so jealous I have weekly visits with you, and sometimes see you more."

She paused, so I nodded, and smiled weakly at her.

"I know something's wrong dear, so I'm going to go get some tea, and when I get back you better be ready to talk!" She says firmly and goes into the kitchen.

I don't want to talk about it. talking about it would involve thinking about him.

"So dear, why are you so upset?" She asks as she pours me some tea.

"It's nothing really …" I say trying to avoid it.

"It obviously more than nothing, or you wouldn't be here," She reasons. I hate how she always knows!

"Draco and I had a fight," I admit.

"That's all you're going to say?" She asks, "You know you can't run away from your problems Hermione."

"I know but Draco cheated on me Grandma! And he kept denying it! I know I always told you all those mean stories about him and the Slytherins. Somehow I started to actually have feelings for him. I can't stand to be around him now that I know he's cheated. I just can't see him. This time hurts so much more than those times at school."

"You'll have to face him sometime"

"No I won't! Can't I stay here?" I argue, acting like a little kid.

"Of course you can stay here for the night," She said as she poured herself some more tea.

We continued in peace, until there was a knocking on the door.

"Are you expecting someone?!" I ask nervously.

"Well I wasn't, but after what you told me. I can assume who it is," she answered as she started towards the door.

"Don't answer it!" I beg. I can't talk to him after all that I said

"I can't just not answer the door Hermione Jane!" I smiled, because she forgot my real name

"Well I'M NOT HERE!" I say as I run up the stairs to my room. I decide to stop and sit at the top of the stairs, listening intently to what was happening below.

"Hello Draco" My Grandma said cautiously.

"Is Hermione here?" He asked anxiously.

"Well, she is not, able to come down. She just went upstairs and to go to sleep. She had a long day," My Grandma says. I knew she wouldn't lie

"Are you sure, because I really need to talk to her. We had a misunderstanding," he says nervously. WHY is he nervous?

"Yes, I'm sure she can't come down. Just give her some time." She advises him.

"Could you just tell her I stopped by then?" He said, and I heard the door shut. Wow, he really did sound sorry. good he should be!

I stand up and go to my room. I put my bag in the corner and got ready for bed. I lay down and try to go to sleep, but that didn't really work. Why did I start to like him? In a way this was my fault, because I started to care for Draco. I brought this upon myself.

hmm what's next? Well, you won't know until you review
