Chapter Three:

Hermione's POV.........

I stood in the middle of room just looking everything over, making sure that all was in the right place. I walked over to my radio/cd player and put in my favorite mixed cd. I started to sing along to the first song that played........

Enrique Iglesias -Hero:

I can be your hero(whisper)

Would you dance
If I asked you to dance?
Would you run
And never look back?
Would you cry
If you saw me cryin'
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble
If I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die
For the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight.

Chorus:
I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Bout midway through the song I heard someone from the door way. When I turned around Malfoy, was starring at me.

"WOW! I didn't know you could sing" Malfoy said.

"Yea well when you were a dick to me since first year you wouldn't know" I said back

"I wanna change, I really do Hermione, please forgive me" Malfoy asked apologetically

"OKAY! What is wrong with you, I thought you were supposed to hate me. Like you did when I was a Granger, now that I am a Riddle, you are all of a sudden nice to me what gives" I nearly yelled at him.

"Well um.....I found out that when we are seven-teen we are supposed to get married. That's what your dad and my parents were talking bout today in Madam Malkin's" Malfoy said

"I don't think so I will not marry you" I yelled this time.

"Well whether we like it or not Hermione, we will be married. The bond between us will make sure of that" Draco said calmly

"UGH! I hate this and I hate our insufferable parents" I said sitting down on my bed

"I do too, in a since that we are betroth to be married" Draco said while hugging me

It was strange that I ended up hugging Draco, back and that I was calling him by his first name. It felt a little weird calling him that, but I liked it.

"So will you please finish singing that song. I really like your voice" Draco asked

"Well I usually don't sing in front of people, but as long as you don't say anything I will just for you" I said back.

I finished the song just for Draco, since he asked me so nicely too.

Would you swear
That you'll always be mine?
Would you lie?
Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care, you're here tonight.

Chorus

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

(Instrumental)

Oh, I just wanna hold you.
I just wanna hold you, oh yeah.

Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don't care, you're here tonight.

Chorus

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain, oh yeah
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Chorus

You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.

After I finished singing the song I noticed that Draco was now in my room sleeping on my bed. He actually looked cute when he was asleep. What am I thinking I still can not think that way bout Draco Lucius Malfoy. He may have semi changed but he is still cruel and evil like usual. And this whole me being betroth to him. I don't know how much longer this is gunna happen to me. Like finding out I was actually adopted and I am a pureblood witch instead of a mud-blood like Draco used to call me. When did I start calling him that I don't know. This is all to weird for me, I got to find my father and ask him these question.

I went downstairs and noticed that my father was in the den talking to Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy. I walked toward the door and knocked on it so I didn't interrupt them.

"Come on in Hermione" my father called

I entered the room and sat down across from Mrs. Malfoy. She looked up at me and had a smile on her face. There were other people here to that I didn't recognize.

"Ah, Hermione, glad you made it done" my father said.

"Yes, I made it down" I said back.

"Oh right these people are Mr. and Mrs. James Crabbe and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Goyle" My dad said.

"Hi nice to meet you" I said to each and everyone of them.

After the introductions were made the conversation started on about Draco and me. About how we will be the cutest couple at Hogwarts that will be wed at the early age of 15. I choked on my pumpkin juice when I heard my dad announce that.

"Wh..WHAT AGE OF 15 THAT'S ONLY TWO YEARS AWAY" I SAID OUTRAGED.

"Of course sweety we want the marriage early so nothing happens. That means for the remainder of the summer you and Draco will be together and getting to know each better" My father spoke with ease

"I DON'T THINK SO, I WILL NOT SPEND ANYTIME WITH HIM" I CONTINUED TO YELL.

"Now young lady do not raise your voice at your father like that" Mrs. Crabbe said to me.

"Oh and I will not listen to you because you are not my mother" I said running from the dinning room and back up to my room.

Once up in my room I slammed and locked my door and threw myself on my bed. I didn't want to be here any longer with anyone. Marriage and to Draco Malfoy non the less. I just couldn't take it any longer. I don't know when I started to cry but I must have cried myself to sleep.
