*A/N: I am so sorry I haven't updated in ages! I've been packing for college and just been super busy! I moved in this past Saturday! Whoo hoo! Lol but anyways I have a great idea for the story… Y'all won't find out for a couple more chapters (: I just hope it works out ok haha… Sadly, Harry Potter and all the other characters are not owned by me…only the plot belongs to me…and in this chapter, Draco's version is short and simple and to the point. Well, happy reading! Here is Chapter 4 of When Life Gives You Lemons... :)*

**Flashback: still at wedding** (still Hermione's POV)

Hold the phone! Did Draco frigging Malfoy just tell me I was beautiful and that he should have realized it back in school? This is so not happening. I've just have a little too much to drink. Yes. That's it! Too much to drink! She then looked down and saw how her glass of butterbeer had barely been touched… Oh, blimey, I haven't had too much to drink! Shit. What do I do now?!

That's when she felt his hand on her chin and made her look at him... "Mione, don't over-think this. I know you. I can see the gears in your head moving at insane paces because you're trying to figure out why I just said this. Ever since third year when you hit me, I have had a fascination with you. I always said I want a girl that would stand up to me and make sure that I am in the right state of mind…"

He was cut off by a slap to the face. "Are you in the right state of mind now?!" She shrieked making several heads turn toward her. "Because you sure weren't just a minute ago when you were telling me I was beautiful." She paused taking a deep breath and looking around for an excuse to leave. Then, she found it…thank the precious God above these had been created. "I have to go to the loo. I'll be back in just a jiffy." She jumped up so quickly it knocked over the chair that she had been in. Walking so fast that she ran into so many people; she heard the complaining as she made a bee line for the loo.

"This is not happening! This cannot be happening to me! Oh, Merlin, help me!" Hermione basically yelled as soon as she got into the bathroom and sunk to the floor sitting against the door. That was when she heard the flushing of a toilet and looked up to see a very confused Ginny staring at her.

"What in the hell are you yelling about, Hermione Jean Granger?!" She said as she scowled at the woman sitting in front of her on the floor. "And for Merlin's sake, get up off of that nasty floor!"

Hermione did as she was told and stood up off the floor as she stared at Ginny in shock…wondering whether or not to tell her what she had been screaming at.

"I'm waiting." Ginny said while crossing her arms and tapping her foot.

"I, uh, I spilled red wine all over my dress!" Hermione said while quickly looking down at her dress and then at Ginny's face. Ginny had a face that said she didn't believe a word Hermione was saying. She walked over to the panicking woman and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Hermione, I can tell when you're lying and by the way," She paused taking the front part of Hermione's dress and felt it. "Your dress isn't even wet."

"That's because I used a cleaning spell on it and it cleaned it up and dried it but still how could that have happened to me!" Hermione said, quickly coming up with a lie.

"Well, it's ok now." Ginny said while smiling. "Come on, let's go find you a single guy who you can get down and party with!" She said while dragging a protesting Hermione.

"Go on and have fun with Harry. I'll be able to find a guy all by myself…especially in a dress like this." Hermione said while shoving a laughing Ginny toward Harry. After they had gone off she looked up and saw a pair of grey eyes looking straight at her. When she caught his eye, he smiled. She smiled too.

Hell, it's a wedding. Let's go have some fun…even if it is with Draco Malfoy. It's not like I'm ever going to see him again.

***** (Draco's POV)

God, her smile just makes me want to take her right here and now. Malfoy! Why didn't you realize all of this in school?! You could have had her then and be married to her now! Wait, did I just say married? Why, yes I did. Oh, here she comes. At least she's coming back to me now.

He smiled again when she got up to him. "Hello, beautiful." He said as he took both of her hands in his. She was blushing. That was probably the cutest thing about her. Because very few people got to see Hermione Granger blush.

"Hello, Draco. How about we go and dance?" She said while smiling coyly. She pulled on his hands until she was leading him toward the dance floor. He followed willingly. He realized she was dragging him to a darkened corner.

"Mione, why are you leading us toward a corner?" He asked genuinely wondering what in the world this is about.

"Let's just say we don't want to draw a ton of attention to us." She said while continuing to walk with him behind her. "Besides, private areas are usually better than public places." She smirked as she saw his expression. "Now, come on, Draco…show me how a real man should be able to dance." She smiled up at him as she said the last thing.

"Oh, Granger, I will show you how a real man can dance and you won't know what to think of it." As a new song came on, they started to move together to the beat of the music.

"Why are you back to calling me Granger? I liked it better when you would call me Mione," She paused for a second and then whispered in her ear. "Or beautiful. Either one of those two would work." She finished and lightly blew into his ear. He grabbed her closer…wanting her now more than ever before.

"Maybe it's because I was trying to take charge but I can see that you are not going to let me." He smiled down at her as he felt her body get closer to his. He could feel the heat and the passion running through them both. He knew he wouldn't be able to last much longer and they hadn't even kissed yet.

She was looking up at him. He saw her biting her bottom lip like she usually did in school when she was nervous about something or over-thinking things. Draco could see it in her eyes. That look that he saw women giving to their fiancé or husband. The look that let a guy know the girl was in love with him. No girl had ever giving him that look. And he was pretty sure that he was giving her a look letting her know that he loved her. He slowly bent down until he was barely an inch away from her lips. Their eyes still locked onto one another's. "May I?" He whispered. She shook her head yes. And then their lips met. It was electrifying to say the least.

Before either of them knew it, hands were everywhere. Roaming each other's body. He pulled away and she started kissing his neck. Never wanting to stop. He whispered into her ear, "Hermione, I want you." She pulled back and looked up at him.

"I want you, too." She whispered. That was all he needed. He took her hand and Apparated them to his house.

*A/N: I hope you all enjoyed it! :) Next chapter will NOT be at his house. It will be back in present day. With Hermione and them. Oh, and also, Draco is telling Blaise the story after all of the girls has left. I'm pretty sure you all can figure out what happened between the two of those love birds once they get to his house ;)… Next chapter will be up soon! Promise! Like within a week I swear!*
