Yo loves, I'm super dupper sorry for not updating. I got really busy with everything. So this is the new chapter and i hope you all like it.

Draco's thoughts

Hermione's thoughts

Thats all you really need to know so...enjoy....

I look out the window and notice that we are coming up to the train stop. "And we are here, it's a good thing we don't have to deal with the first years now, some of them are cocky little buggers." She raised one of her perfect eyebrows at this. "What?"

"You do realise that you were like that in your first year too, right?"

I quickly think back to my first year, reviewing it, then start laughing as I see the truth in her words. "Ha your right I was, oh well lets get to the carriage."

I lead the way through the crowd this time brining us up to the Heads carriage and holding the door open for Hermione.

Third Person POV

Little did our two Heads notice; someone was watching the whole encounter. Someone who quickly became jealous and plotting revenge against the one who stole what was "theirs" away…

Hermione POV

Draco is acting extremely different, hmmm, maybe him being civil is like this but still this is getting odd, I'll have to watch out for any signs of…well…anything. I thought as Draco held the door, of the carriage, open for me.

We sat silent till the carriage started to move when Draco started a conversation.

"How was your summer?"

"Good all things considered."

"What do you mean?"

"Well…before I went to the Weasley's I spent some time with my family and…well…we are quite distant now, they don't understand anything about the wizarding world. It's not something I can really explain. Plus they don't exactly like all the 'dangerous' things Harry, Ron and I get ourselves into."

"I can agree somewhat."

"It's not like we try to find dangerous things…they just seem to find us."

"Yeah, so you said before that Bill Weasley is marrying Fleur Delacour, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well she's a Veela too so you must have had some issues with her and all the pheromones she must have been sending out."

"Yeah but mostly it was Ron that was reacting to it, but other than that my summer was not much different than others." Other than being tortured by my cousins because I am 'different' ugh why did my parents have to tell them? I still have scars from them whipping me because I refused to do magic for them.

Draco POV

This is so interesting, she's so amazing and now I don't even have to hide it! I just hope father will be alright with it. Mother will be ecstatic.

We had been sitting, talking for five minutes of the thirty minute ride in the Thestral driven carriage, when I remembered I can read her mind now. I decided that I should test it when her eyes showed a spark of pain after answering my question.

"…other than that my summer was not much different than others," she said this and I quickly opened my mind to hers, and I quickly opened my mind to hers, and heard, …ther than being tortured by my cousins because I am 'different' ugh why did my parents have to tell them? I still have scars from them whipping me because I refused to do magic for them.

I heard this and let out a quiet growl that my Hermione couldn't hear, How could they! I growled again, still to quiet to hear, If I ever see them I will hurt them like they hurt my Hermione! I thought all this with satisfaction.

After I finished thinking this, my Hermione, had started rummaging through her backpack for something. Upon finding it, she pulled out a…thin piece of rectangular metal. And two…balls? Hanging on a string? I have absolutely no clue what the hell the…thing in her hand is. So I decided to ask my mate what it is, politely of course.

"What the hell is that? Is it dangerous?" ok maybe not so polite, bite me.

"My Ipod?" she said gesturing to the metal, "You put music in it and it plays the music through the headphones,' she held up the balls on the string. "You can also play games and such on it, it's a muggle invention. Do you want to see?" she asked, I guess seeing my interest.

"Sure" I said, quickly standing and sitting les than an inch away from her, which excited both me and the Veela.

Hermione didn't react to my closeness, except to hand me one of the b-headphones. Which I had no clue to do with, seeing this she took it from me and placed it into my ear.

"Now what?" I asked, still slightly confused.

"Watch," she said and touched the screen.

Another screen come up with little boxes, she touched one and a different screen came on. My Hermione then touched one of the selections labelled 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'. I jumped when sound started to come out of the headphones.

"Wow," I breather, this is amazing who knew muggles were so advanced, and with no magic what-so-ever!

We listened to the song and she handed the Ipod to me. I wasn't sure but I tried and touched a small box-ish arrow thing and when that worked I chose a song called 'Womanizer'. When it started playing, my Hermione started laughing. I turned to her and asked why she was laughing.

"What?"

"Oh, ummm…it's just this song reminds me of the rumours about you," she said, still giggling.

I listened to the words and laughed quietly too, she was right it does sound like the rumours about me. The rumours though are completely un-true.

For the rest of the ride we played with her Ipod, laughing when we found a song that fit out friends. I'm so happy that after all these years I can finally talk to her without having to pretend hatred. We're friends now and it feels like the most natural thing ever, it's just hard to fight off the instinct to hold her and smell her delicious aroma.

Really I've never hatter all three of them, well ok yeah I hate Weasel but Potter I never did. Maybe this year will be different about that too.

Hermione POV

Draco really is a good friend, it was so easy to talk to him, and he can even hold up a good discussion. Ha, and insult partner. For the rest of the ride we talked and laughed like we had been doing it for years.

When we arrived at the school, Harry, Ron, and Ginny were waiting for me. Time to break the news don't you think?

I grabbed Draco's arm and dragged him towards them. He must have guessed my plan because he didn't resist in the least. We came to a stop in front of their bewildered expressions.

"Hey guys, Draco and me are friends now," I said and to be blunt, added, "Deal with it!"

At the expressions of my bluntness I started laughing. I laughed so hard I almost fell over but Draco caught me, and after a few moments I straightened and was fine again.

"He-he sorry guys, you should have seen your faces though, but it's true we're friends now," I said more gently.

Ginny was the first to regain her composure and ran at me and pulled me into a giant hug. Then, surprising all of us, she hugged Draco too.

"Cool, so you're not evil then," she stated more than asked, letting go of him.

Harry and Ron snapped out of it too and Ron hung back, unwilling to let go of the past. Harry, though came forward and held out his hand to Draco. They shook hands and I knew everything would be different now.

Ginny turned to me again and spoke.

"Oh Hermione, Dumbledore wants to see you and Draco in his study right away. He said he likes 'sugar quills'."

"Thanks Gin," I said and turned to Draco, "Let's go then!"

We started running and soon we were at the spiral staircase. I said the password and we rose to Dumbledore's study.

I knocked on the door and heard him say, "Enter," we walked in and sat in front of his desk.

"Draco, Hermione, it is good to see you both on such good terms," he said his eyes twinkling, "I don't know how to say this without it being a surprise so I am just going to be blunt alright?"

We both nodded yes, and Dumbledore continued.

"Hermione you are the single most powerful and smartest, witch, or wizard, ever," he said, quite seriously.

"What?" I could barely ask from disbelief and surprise.

"Yes, you are more powerful than Voldemort, then me, than Harry. You are the most powerful person in the history of the world, you are also the smartest. I have been holding back almost all of your powers but it will be impossible soon, for you are just too strong. I started school early this year for this reason, over the next three days you will get all of your powers back. Because of the power surging though you, many thing will be blown up at first. Draco you will help her during this time as it will also give you an opportunity to learn more about you Veela heritage," he finished kindly.

"Wow," was all I could say and apparently that's all Draco could say to because he said it at the same time.

"Yes, I know it's a lot to take in, but there's more. The prophecy wasn't just about Harry. It is actually meant that you would do everything and the other two would distract everyone while you took out Voldemort," he said, the twinkle still there.

"Wow, so if I am smarter and powerful then, are there any books you have that I could read?" When I said this Draco started laughing and Dumbledore started chuckling.

"That's the Hermione we know and love, yes of course dear, I had them all sent up to your room. The books for your mission are up there as well for whenever you want to get started. I anticipated that you would want more to read," Dumbledore said to me, then turned towards Draco, "So Draco you have found out who your mate is, I presume."

"Yes sir, how did you know?" Draco asked, surprised.

"Just a guess, I had the pleasure to speak to Hermione over the summer and we had a discussion about Veela's. She knows more about the subject than the actual Veela's and I guessed she would have found out immediately and started telling you about it," he said, his twinkling eyes laughing joyfully.

"Oh well, yes she did," Draco said, smiling at me, as he did I felt my heart squeeze. For a second I fretted about it but then pushed it aside.

"The feast will happen in four days time, so your powers will start coming tonight as soon as you get to your dorm, good night to both of you," he said and waved us off.

We quietly left and the whole way back to out dorm I thought about what I had just heard.

Lol, Draco's mightly possesive don't ya think? So how did ya like it? Please review! And tell me should Draco tell Hermione while all her powers come back or should he wait for awhile. I have btoh scenarios in my head so just tell me which one please!

Thanks all, till next update which i promise wont take as long this time!

Peace!
