Hermione,

I hated that you left the way you did I never meant to make you upset or anything. The girl doesn't even mean anything to me you need to understand that…I'm getting tired of saying it over and over and I am so sorry that I had chose quidditch over you. It's just I was so stressed out and the only thing that relieves me is riding around on a broom and I just wasn't thinking. I am sorry Hermione.

Love,

Draco Malfoy

Hermione had read the letter over and so had Ginny she thought Hermione was being ridiculous and that she should write the boy back and say sorry as well, but Hermione being stubborn and hated being wrong decided not too. She watched Ginny getting ready and admired the beautiful dress she was wearing and noted today was Valentine's Day as there was a knock on her door and a red bouquet of roses were given to Ginny she read the note and smiled.

I love you and I can't wait for tonight,

Blaise

Hermione felt a pang of jealousy as she saw the beautiful roses he had picked out for her while all she had gotten on this fine day was a letter not even saying Happy Valentine's day or nothing.

"So Gin where exactly are you going?" Hermione asked as she got up and noted she had to be at Herbology in 15 minuets.

"I'm going to the Waverly Academy Valentine's Day dance, Blaise invited me and Narcissa is going to come and get me!" she squealed.

"So your skipping class?!"

"Well yeah…Narcissa told Dumbledore about the dance and explained she would be watching over me and I was there begging along and he gave in since today is after all The Lover's holiday," she just stared at the young girl wondering why Draco hadn't even invited her at all. Before she left the room she bid Ginny good luck and a Happy V day and left to go find Harry and Ron. When she met them in the common room they were both holding roses. Harry had a white one and Ron a red they handed it to Hermione and she smiled.

"Thank you," she held it up to her nose and smelled them.

"There not from us," Harry smiled.

"Who are they from them?" she asked.

"We have no clue," Ron smiled as he held out his arm to Hermione and so did Harry. She threw a funny look at them and hooked arms with her two best friends. When they had arrived to their first class that day Professor Sprout just told them they had no work today for she was in a loving mood. Pansy came over and stood next to them as they chatted away about their plans for tonight. Ron and Pansy were going out to Hogsmeade and Harry was going to visit Hagrid. The bell rang dismissing class, but before they left Pansy pulled Hermione back and gave her one white rose and one red rose.

"Thanks Pansy…" she added it to her other two.

"It's not from me," She smiled as she held out her hand for Ron to take. Leaving Hermione with Harry and she threw Harry an I want to know look so he sped up to walk near the couple 'How odd,' She thought as they went to their next class Potions. When Hermione got into the room she made her way to her seat and just as she was about to throw her book bag on the desk she saw a red rose 'What the-" she glanced up and caught Snape nodding at her 'Okay this is getting kind of creepy,' She sat next to Pansy and stuck the rose with the others. Today in class they would be making a Love potion, as if this day could be anymore lovey dovey Snape had to add on to it. 'I miss Draco…,' She thought as she gathered her ingredients and thought about how Ginny would probably be with Draco and Blaise right now. Pansy and Hermione finished their potion first before anyone in the class and Hermione glanced over at Neville and Ron who seemed to be having a bit difficulty brewing their potion so she decided to help. They sat for another 20 minutes waiting for the bell to ring to dismiss them to lunch when it did everyone was relieved that Snape didn't have any smart remark at all through out the class.

"Hey let's walk past the library so I can drop this book off."

"Wow Hermione you don't own that book?" Harry sarcastically said.

"For once no," she laughed.

When they arrived at the library she dropped the book into the book slot but when the slot closed a White rose fell out and landed in her hand she looked over at Harry and them and they just smiled.

"Just take it! Add it to your other one," Pansy said.

"It's so weird though," she turned and looked at all her friends "which one of you is doing this?"

"Not me," said Harry.

"You're not my type…sorry," Pansy laughed.

"I have a girlfriend," Ron pulled Pansy closer and they all laughed, but deep inside Hermione was frustrated she wanted to know now. They ate their lunch and chatted every time Hermione would bring up the roses they would change the subject. Hermione gave up and sighed she wanted to know and she wanted to know now. She heard a little hoot and noticed an owl coming right at her it landed with grace making sure not to knock anyones cup off and held its leg out for Hermione to take the letter, once she did the owl flew off.

Hermione!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm here and safe! Draco says he's sorry for everything and he loves you so much. Hermione you need to stop being so mean to the poor boy! Blaise says hey as well let everyone know there that I'm alright. Draco says he hasn't been hanging out with Jen just to let you know…whatever that means, but talk to you later. I'll keep my eye on him at the dance.

Ginny

Hermione sighed she wished so much she could be there with Draco. She got up and as she was about to head out, but Dumbledore stopped her and handed her a white rose.

"You're a very lucky girl Ms. Granger," and with that he left with the rest of the professors.

Pansy came up behind Hermione and they both walked to their muggle studies class. Hermione pulling out all her roses and counted them as Pansy stood next to her smiling as she watched on.

"One from Ron, one from Harry, one from potions, two from Pansy, one from the library and now one from Dumbledore," She sighed "I'm getting tired of these roses," she laughed as she held them in her arms.

Muggles studies flew by quick and so did the rest of the classes by now it was time for dinner. Hermione wasn't hungry at all she kept thinking of Ginny being there with Draco laughing with him and she envied her for she was with her boyfriend and here Hermione sat alone on Valentine's Day. Ron and Pansy had already left for their date in Hogsmeade and Harry left to go hang out with Hagrid. As she glanced around the hall she noticed how everyone was with someone or not here at all. She laughed as she watched Dumbledore make a rose appear out of air for McGonagall. She was brought back to her roses and set them on the table she recounted them and as she did she felt a tap on her shoulder and faced Colin Creevey handing her another red rose, but just as he was about to leave Hermione grabbed his robes and pulled him back.

"Who gave you this?"

He just smiled and pointed towards the doors she looked at him and gathered her 8 roses and left the hall. She looked to her left and right and as she looked towards the stair case she noticed a white rose levitating in the air and it had a note attached to it, she reached for it and read it:

Astronomy Tower

'That's it,' she thought, but she followed the directions and went up to the tower as she got closer to the door she could smell something good on the other side and noticed that their were flickering lights on the other side. She stood outside debating whether or not to go in, but decided too. She set her books down by the wall and held her roses close to her as she pushed open the door. Once she was inside she saw the room was lit up by candles levitating all around the room and that the balcony doors were open so the stars could be viewed from where she stood. She then noted that there was a table at the middle of the room with two table settings and food in the middle, which seemed to have gave off that great smell.

"What do you think?"

She turned around and met his silver eyes staring back at hers. Draco stood before her with two red roses and one white one. As he walked towards her Hermione's breath was caught in her throat she couldn't believe he did this for her after she treated him the way she had. He held out the roses and once she took them she felt a cooling sensation run over her body causing her to close her eyes as she did she noticed she was no longer in her school robes, but a floor length silver silk spaghetti strapped dress. She touched her hair and it was up in a bun with loose tendrils framing her face and as she looked at Draco he was wearing a Black tuxedo with a silver tie that matched her dress. He lifted her chin up and kissed her and she smiled as they broke apart.

"Happy Valentine's Day baby," he smiled as he pulled her into a hug.

"Happy Valentine's Day to you too," He took her hand and led her over the table and pulled out her seat.

"What made you do this for me?" she asked as she started to put food onto her pate.

"It's Valentine's Day Hermione why wouldn't I?" he smiled.

"This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, but I must say you did have me irritated with all those roses you had everyone giving me… why so many?"

"Well did you collect 12?"

She sat there and counted "Yes I did."

"Good because that's how many roses someone special gets, a dozen," he winked at her.

"So everyone knew who the roses were from."

"Yeah I delivered them myself and told them what I wanted them to do. They thought it was sweet as well…mostly Pansy. The Colin Creevey was out of the blue though."

They finished up their food and made their way to the balcony for dessert which was a chocolate mouse soufflé, Draco's favorite. The sat there in silence taking in each other's presence and just enjoying one another's company. Hermione wondered what his Mother was doing, but shook the thought out of her mind.

"So when are you and Blaise coming back to Hogwarts?"

"Saturday," she turned and looked at him shocked "Yeah it surprised me too, but Snape said that Blaise and I haven't been brought up in the meetings at all…so they think it's safe, but as for my Mother she'll be staying inside at Hogwarts as well. She's due soon you know."

"I know…How is she doing?"

"She's fine. Right now she's at the dance with Ginny and Blaise."

"Did Ginny know?"

"Yeah I told her to make it sound like I was going to the dance," he pulled Hermione close and held her around her waist kissing her lightly on the lips.

"Ferret," she smiled.

"Yes my bookworm," he laughed.

"I love you."

"I love you."

She stared into his eyes as he leaned down and kissed her passionately letting his tongue roam around her mouth. She nibbled at his bottom lip causing him to moan which made him pull her closer to his his body. Hermione put her hands on his chest and then up around his neck. He had his hands on her hip, but started to run them up and down her sides sending shivers down her spine, she loved the way he touched her. He lifted her up and sat her on the balcony railing and positioned him self between her legs he dropped his hands from her sides and ran them up and down her legs as they continued kissing.

"Wow seems like someone might be getting lucky."

They both broke apart and Draco let out a frustrated sigh as he glanced up at Ron and Pansy who were smiling at them.

"Aw Hermione did you like what he did for you?" Pansy squealed as the girl looked around the room.

"Yes Pansy I did and thank you both for participating in it," she pulled Draco to her making his back rest between her legs and he put his arms up on her legs "How was your date?"

"Great!" Ron said as he looked over at Draco "Sorry for interrupting…"

"Don't be silly Ron there was nothing going on," Pansy laughed at Hermione's statement. Draco looked past them and noted Harry and Cho standing beside them.

"Cho?" Hermione said which caused Ron and Pansy to turn around.

"Yeah…she's my date. She came here for some transcripts and I asked her to dinner," he smiled "I should have told you instead of saying I was going with Hagrid."

"You guys fell for that?" Draco laughed as he imagined Harry and Hagrid sitting at a candlelit dinner table set for two.

"Harry its okay at least everyone is happy here at Hogwarts the only people who are missing are-"

"Ginny and Blaise," Blaise finished her sentence as the stormed in to the room.

"So how was the dance?" Draco asked.

"It was alright all the girls wondered where you were at, but I told them you were with your girlfriend from Durmstrang."

Hermione kissed the back of Draco's head he smiled. He knew she appreciated him using her little lie. Everyone talked and chatted until they could see the sun come up over the horizon. Harry and Cho were the first one to go for Cho had to get back to her house. Pansy and Ron bid everyone good night and Blaise walked Ginny to the Gryffindor common room leaving Hermione and Draco by themselves. He held out his hand for her and they made their way to The Heads common room. Once they got there they headed to Hermione's room and fell asleep not even bothering to get into there pajama's.

"Happy Valentine's Day, my Lord," Pettigrew said.

"Shut up!" Voldemort rested his head in his hands "I can't believe I killed the two most loyalist people to me, but wait… they betrayed me! Is my daughter still in the dungeon?"

"Yes sir. Shall I go get her?"

"No, she has failed me and I do not wish to be around such failures," he sighed "So no one has seen Malfoy or Zabini's sons?"

"Correct master we searched everywhere," Pettigrew looked over at the door as it began opening revealing Flint Sr.

"Master I bring you news from my son," he kneeled down "He has spotted Malfoy and Zabini back at Hogwarts."

Voldemort lifted his head up and smiled evilly "Really now?"

"Yes my lord. What do you wish for me to tell my son?"

"Tell him to keep a close eye on them and to have a look out for Narcissa Malfoy!" Flint Sr. left and then he turned to Pettigrew "I want that baby girl dead! She doesn't deserve to be happy since she corrupted Lucius."

"Master maybe he chose that path just like his son."

"No…" he reached in his pocket and twirled Lucius' wand in his hand "A wizard is useless without his wand" he mumbled.
