Chapter 3:

Hermione woke up early that morning. She didn't know what time Draco was going to be there so she had to get ready. She wanted to look her best. She went into the bathroom, turned on the shower and slowly stripped out of her clothes. She let the hot water floe all over her body, trying to relieve some of the tension that built up over the past few days. It helped, but only a little. She dried off and got dressed. She was wearing a dark green tank top, a black miniskirt and dark green flip flops. She thought Draco might like this. They were his house colors. Slytherin. She started thinking about school and what she was going to do about the stuff between her and Draco. What if his friends didn't accept her? What if her friends didn't accept their relationship? Just then, Hedwig came to her window. She had a letter from Harry and Ron.

Dear Hermione:

We're just fine. I'm glad to hear that you are too. We were kind of scared when you told us that your real father had found you after all these years. Do you know about your mother yet? I happy that he isn't the bad guy that you thought he was. Ginny is just great. We've been together 3 ½ months now and it keeps getting better everyday. I love her 'Mione. And Ron is totally in love with Loony Luna. Ow, Ron, that hurt (He just hit me), Well, I'm going to go outside and play Quidditch with Ron. I'll talk to you later.

Love always

Harry

Damn it, I don't want to hear about their fucking relationships. I wonder what they would say if I told them about finding my soul mate in none other than Draco Malfoy. They'd probably disown me and then I couldn't do what Father wants me to do. I guess I had better write them back before they start worrying about me. I wish they would let me just handle things on my own. I'm not the same girl I was even last year. I can definitely take of myself. I'll prove it to them when the time comes.

Dear Harry:

That's great about you four. I have a new boy toy too. But it's kind of new and I don't want everyone to know about it right now. I think that it's for the best. I don't know anything about my mother yet. I plan on asking my father soon. How are things with the O.O.T.P? I hope everything is ok. I wish I could come and spend time at the Burrow with you and Ron but my father wouldn't allow that. He wants to spend the holiday with me just so he can get to know me. I know that you would understand this above anyone, Harry. I have to go have breakfast with my father now. I'll see you in a few weeks in Diagon Alley.

Love Always

Hermione

I think that this will keep them thinking that I am still on their side.

She tied the letter to Hedwig's leg and went downstairs. Draco was down there waiting on her. She bolted down the stairs into her love's arms. Merlin, she missed the way that he held her, the way he smelled, the way that he kissed her, the way that he looked at her. And it had been less than 12 hours since they last saw each other. She knew that she wanted to be with him forever. She couldn't wait until June to be his wife and the mother of his children. She knew that she would be happy for the rest of her days.

"Hey baby! Did you miss me as much as I've missed you?"

"You bet, Mi, maybe even more. I thought of nothing else besides you last night."

They were just about to kiss when Voldemort and Lucius came to get them.

"Hermione, have you been corresponding with Potter and Weasley like I have suggested?"

"Yes Father, I have. I've also taken the liberty in asking Harry about the Order of the Phoenix. He'll tell me what they are planning to do to try and stop you."

"To tell you the truth, I hadn't thought about that, but I am extremely pleased."

He looked at her lovingly. She never knew that her father could do that. She smiled and then tightly hung onto Draco. This was her family. And she was finally happy.

Meanwhile at the Burrow:

"Ron, I'm worried about 'Mione. She's not acting like herself. She rarely asks me about the Order when we're together, much less in a letter."

"I wouldn't worry about it too much Harry. You know that she has been distant ever since she and I broke up. But that's also to be expected. We loved each other very much but I couldn't deal with the pressures of this year while dating her. You know that she's going to be Head Girl. And if I want to be an Auror, I have to devote all my time to my studies. Luna understands that, but 'Mione wouldn't."

"Maybe you're right."

"I know I am. Let's just continue playing Quidditch so we can get our mind off this whole thing."

They went back to practicing. Harry's scar was prickling again, but he didn't think anything of it.

Hannah-901: We'll see, we'll see. If they do, it won't be until the end. Maybe Pansy will in the middle. I can't stand her.
