I don't own a thing but hopefully I shall (in my dreams...sighs)
So at some point in the story there is a note saying play song. The song is Exile by Enya
It all started with...
Chapter 17:
A new Beginning.
"And there goes the Quaffle that leads Gryffindor fifty to forty. Did you know that an Imp would steal your gloves for fun?" Harry had to bite back a chuckle when he heard Luna's odd commentary, he could imagine Professor McGonagall rolling her eyes and trying to conduct Luna into running a commentary about the game and not magical creatures. "Dean Thomas scores once more! That makes it sixty points to Gryffindor! Ron's just saved a goal!!
When they were seeing who would do the next commentary Harry nominated Luna, it had been a month since her father had died. She needed the distraction so Harry gave it to her.
"Harry! Find that god damn Snitch!" Ginny yelled as she dodged a bludger shooting past her. The weather wasn't in their favour: it was pouring down with rain and Harry had already lost two subs from colliding with Slytherin.
Harry frowned when he didn't seen Malfoy in his long green robes taunting him but then again Malfoy hadn't been in the public eye since he had made the weird declaration. He quickly scanned the crowd and couldn't see a bright blond haired boy.
"Harry! Ginny wants you to look for the snitch! I think he's been hit by a bad case of Pixie sniffles. Did you know-?"
"Miss Brown this isn't an announcement block!" Harry had to suppress the urge to laugh but Luna was right. He had to find the snitch.

"Draco!" Hermione giggled as he ran round the Gryffindor changing rooms with her scarf. "Give it back!" She tried to snatch it but only ended up kissing.
"Hermione it's not a crime to be late." Draco teased her as he pulled her into his arms. Hermione smiled at him and wrapped her arms round him.
"I know...but...it's Harry." Hermione said slowly. "If he wins the match then it'll be a great achievement."
"Here you go." Draco replied suddenly handing her the scarf. "I'll be waiting for you." Hermione smiled and kissed him softly on the lips. She moved away and headed to the exit. "Hermione!" She turned round wondering what else he wanted to say. "I love you."
"Oh brother!" She giggled rolling her eyes. "I love you too." Blowing him a kiss she left the Gryffindor changing room.
--
"Lucius I can't control your sons feelings. Whatever you want to happen he will not listen." Lucius kicked a statue of the sorting hat sending it crashing to the ground. "No point getting angry over it. You've lost him and now we have nothing."
"Then find something!" He hissed baring his white teeth. "We tried to do it your way he found that Mudblood! We do it my way and that same Mudblood interferes!" His dark gray eyes unlike his son's flashed angrily like a crazed man possessed. His light blond hair blew slightly behind him.
"Look at yourself. You cannot bear defeat." With a quick motion of his hand he drew out his wand and pointed it at his companion. "You've just proved my point."
"Get that girl out of the picture! I don't care how just do it!"
The companion pushed away Lucius's wand. "I'm not your servant. I only serve one man and he is far greater than you."
Lucius let out a yell of anger. "Damn you! Damn you!" He took down tapestries, portraits and even a few ornaments. "I'm of pure blood! You are not! You are a half blood!"
"Whatever blood status I belong to, I get the job done."
"I have lost my wife. She goes for days without telling me, she has abandoned me just like Draco." Lucius said after a while, he seemed to have controlled himself after his small outburst.
"Very well. I shall help you. But you must suffer whatever happens next. If you lose him again I shall not help you."
"Very well." Suddenly the sound of heavy footsteps approached made Lucius hide once more in the shadows leaving his companion.
"Miss Brown. What are you doing near the headmasters chambers?" Lavender stared at him angrily, she hadn't gotten over her breakup from Ron and she was still in the phase where she hated the male species.
"Because it's the only way to get to the Hospital Ward. A player has fallen off their broom and Professor McGonagall told me to fetch Madame Pomfrey. Professor Snape." She added quickly. Snape's eyes flickered sideways quickly. Lavender strolled past him leaving him looking slightly puzzled by her behaviour.
--
"The Gryffindor flags are waving for you Gryffindor! And Harry's miles ahead of Parkinson! GO ON HARRY!" Luna screamed making the Gryffindor side cheer wildly while McGonagall looked like she was wanted to cheer but also wanted to tell Luna to quieten down. "GO ON! Harry Potter is going to win! He's 10 metres from it no 5...OH NO! The snitch did a dive! Ginny Weasley's just saved his neck from those bludgers why do Slytherin always play dirty? If you ask me they're just a bunch of only sadistic twats. Sorry Professor I meant twits...go on Harry! Harry's going to get it this time! He's inches from touching...shame about Slytherin losing again...Dean's just scored! That makes it seventy to sixty! Harry...yes!! HE'S GOT IT!!" Luna squealed jumping up and down. "GRYFFINDOR ARE NOW IN THE FINALS!!"
The Gryffindor side deafened any other person present at the stadium. They exited the stalls like bees to a honey pot. The surrounded the players and suddenly seven players clad in red, gold and murky brown were tossed up into the air, they didn't even care, they would then play against Hufflepuff in the finals.
--
"Draco!" Hermione pushed back Draco's hands as they did whatever a normal male teenager would do. Draco chuckled as he watched his girlfriend tug down her sweater. He snatched her hand and kissed it gently. "Draco. I've been missing for fifteen minutes they'll start asking where I am." Hermione said reluctantly.
"Tell them you got lost." Draco said looking up at her. Hermione could see something flicker in him that made her realise what his intention were. Draco started untying her tie. Hermione smiled at him. "That there was a really interesting book in the library that you couldn't put down..." Hermione bit her bottom lip and she let Draco's hands slid under her shirt. "About a blond haired prince who was saved by a beautiful." He pulled her towards him. "Intelligent." He kissed her forehead. "Thoughtful." He kissed her cheeks. "Loving." He kissed her nose. "Girl." He kissed her lips. "And the story ended with the beautiful girl staying with the prince in a room called the room of requirement." Hermione giggled at him.
"As much as that sounds fun I really do have to go." She got off him and picked up her tie which had fallen onto the ground. Draco watched with a lopsided smile as she left him alone.
Draco let out a sigh and got up and walked over to the large bookcase, choosing a medium sized book he sat on the couch and began reading. There was a small tap on his door that made him alert. Grabbing his wand he walked slowly towards the door, he knew it wasn't Hermione, she'd just walk in. Slowly he opened the door, his wand clenched in his hand. "Enter." He said coldly. A tall figure came in and Draco had to bite back his surprise. "You!"

(play song)
"Harry, can you pass some of those pumpkin pastries?" Hermione heard Ron asking as she entered through the portrait into the common room. She bent down to avoid the pastries hitting her in the head. The party was in full swing, just like their last Quidditch match party. That seems so long ago...so much has changed since then...I mean Harry's become bolder, Ron's become more...well braver and I've...I've fallen in love with the enemy...well Draco's not the enemy...
-----
"What the hell do you want?" Draco demanded as he stood before his Head of House. Snape merely glanced at him before inspecting the room.
----
He's more of a...confused person...Hermione wandered towards the couch before the fireplace; it was the only spot available were she could be alone with her thoughts and not have Seamus doing an Irish jig. Draco...has spent his whole life obeying his father...believing to be superior to everyone else...
----
"Hm. It's so quaint..." His gaze strolled to his bed where the sheets were crumpled up from Draco and Hermione's make out session earlier. "It seems we are at odds with you."
"I don't see why. Last time I heard fat- no Lucius declared that I wasn't his son." Draco replied coolly staring at Snape.
"He was angry at the time...you had...betrayed him." Snape said finding the right words. Draco flinched at this.
----
I think he was slightly jealous of Harry; he had everything that Draco wanted. Friends, people who cared for him, sure Harry didn't excel in everything but there wasn't the strain to be perfect...Hermione glanced quickly towards Harry who was having a contest with Seamus to see who could drink the most butterbeer. She suppressed a giggle. "Hermione!" She smiled when she saw Ginny walking over to her.
---
"I just made my own destiny. That's all." Draco said looking away. "Something that he can't control."
"Maybe he can." Snape said smiling. Draco glared at him. "You see your mother likes to spend hours outside from home. I know where she goes and I doubt you'd like your mother badly injured."
"Narcissi can do what she wants with her life."
"You're not like Harry. You never will be." Draco whipped round and glared at him.
---
"How was your little make out session? You do know when this eventually gets out you'll be on every Slytherin's hit list." Ginny said edging near Hermione. Hermione couldn't help but grin at her, Ginny was the only one who knew her secret boyfriend.
"He's a good kisser." Hermione said slowly. "But I fear he's hiding something from me." Ginny gave her a puzzled look. "Nothing bad...it's just I fear he pushes himself to be something he's not."
"Like Harry."
"Exactly."
"They are so alike it's scary. I mean apart from their blood status...they'd protect the people that they care about..." Hermione said gently. "They're capable of seeing the good in everything granted Draco takes a while but he still manages to."
"When are you gonna tell Harry?"
----
"You're mad." Draco said gripping his wand tighter. "Whatever he wants me to do tell him I'm not doing it! I haven't been given the mark yet and I won't join! There are other things that are greater than that man!" Snape flicked his wand so quickly that Draco didn't stand a chance to defend himself. He was flung across the room landing against his bookcase.
"You are foolish. You believe that love will save the day? You're pathetic." Snape declared as he marched towards Draco.
"Colloportus!" Snape's body snapped together making him fall over. "No one attacks me and gets away with it. Teacher or no teacher, and let's be honest besides Hermione being there for me. I have no one who'd care for me." Draco said straightening his jumper as her stood over his former Head of House.
Suddenly the room was covered by darkness.
--
"Soon...it's just that I fear what his reaction will be. He's unpredictable. It'll be like talking to my brother." Ginny grinned and nodded understanding her predicament.
"Not to mention this is Draco Malfoy and not Ron." The girls giggled.
"I love Draco...I really do...and I would want nothing more than Harry to accept him like you have." Ginny nodded and looked behind the couch just in time to see her brother arm wrestle Dean. Hermione rolled her eyes muttering that boys will be boys.
"Hermione...have you guys...you know done it yet?" Hermione raised an eyebrow at Ginny's question.
"Are you insuating that after a month of going out Draco and I have done it?" Ginny nodded sheepishly. "No. And not until I'm ready. Why?"
"Harry wants to take our relationship to the next level." Ginny mumbled nervously blushing to her red copper roots.
----
"Listen to me boy for I shall not repeat myself. You're mother is in danger and if you want her to be safe from any harm then you will complete the task your father set you out to do. If not then not only you and your mother suffer so shall Miss Granger."
"NO! Keep Hermione out of this!" Draco pleaded as he accustomed to the darkness.
"Then let me help you. But you are not to breathe a word of this to anyone. Understood?" Snape demanded as he used Lumos to lighten the room once more. "Understood?" Draco nodded feebly. "Good. I'm glad we had this chat. This shall be a whole new beginning for all of our kind!" Snape said strolling past Draco leaving him look white but like marble.
Draco let out a roar and cursed the heavens in vain, his deal with the devil signed. His wand still in hand he pressed it over his wrist. One slit...two slit...three slit...four slit...I'm so sorry Hermione...please forgive me...
----
"And how do you feel about it?"
"I mean me and Harry have been together now since December and in April next month it will make five months of us being together..."
Hermione scanned the room for Harry then it hit her, he was having a quick lesson with the headmaster. "Then do it then but only if you feel ready don't be forced to do it but if you decide to do it, it'll celebrate everything you have together." Ginny nodded and quickly hugged Hermione.
"You're my best friend you know that?"The brown haired girl nodded and smiled at Ginny before fully joining the party.
So Draco has done the one thing that wrecks relationships.

Answering reviews time:
MeredithGlass: No I didn't watch a cinderella story when writing it I just thought it would be cool to do I watched P.S I love you and when the actress that plays Phoebe in friends goes up to guys and starts asking them questions I got the idea from that.
Anon: Sos that you don't approve of them learning Animagi earlier on but it's gonna help one of them later on the fanfic.
Wallflower009: No the story isn't ending at least not for another 15 good chapters. All I'm doing is writing another story that follows up, reason being in the second novel the lot changes etc...but it'll be similar I'm not saying the same thing but the base of it all will remain the same. A friend of mine has just done a trailer vid. for it so check it out when you've got a moment. It's on youtube: Harry Potter Fan Made Trailer. She did it for me so enjoy watching it.
