A/N: Of course, I do not own anything involving with Harry Potter.

So, Roaring_Star what is very strange about your review was that I was actually already thinking of a doing that before you even mentioned that! So perhaps I will definitely write a chapter about that then.

and, satoz, thanks for letting me know. I did not even realize that I kept putting Squib. Haha I really meant squid. I mix up my D's and B's sometimes.

To the rest who has been leaving reviews, thank you very much. I'm so glad you are liking the story. :) Sorry about not giving you guess the kiss scene yet either. I'm just not seeing that happening yet. I already know when it will happen, and that wont happen for another chapter or two.


Chapter Ten: Marriage

Hermione laid on her bed in the girl's dormitory after Draco wrote her back. The letter was palced on Hermione's stomach as she stared at the ceiling. If not, she was re reading the letter over and over again till she had it memorized. Her mind was focusing on ways to attempt to tell Harry and Ron about Draco and her.

Hermione,

That would be well for me. If you get hungry we can

just go to the kitchens. My old house elf, Dobby, works

in there now. He is always giving me food when I go

down there late at night. He is a strange one. See

you tonight.

-DM

It was nearly around dinner time when Hermione finally raised out of bed. She brushed her hair and put on regular clothes and left the dormitory to the common room. Harry sat there alone as the common room was only left with a few other Gryffindors left. He looked up to Hermione at once when she came in view.

"Hermione. I've been waiting for ever." he said quietly, standing up for the chair.

"Why is that?" she asked, coldly. She clicked her tonuge loudly, clearly showing Harry that she was annoyed.

"I just want to apologize."

"For what?" knowing clearly, for some reason that every boy had a difficult time apologizing for anything they had done wrong; most of the time they didn't even know what they were apologizing for. She wanted to know why.

"For being a prat. You're my friend, Hermione. I should have realized that Ron really upset you and taken your side. I can not stand that annoying girl. Cameron, Carmen, whatever her name is! I can't stand her!" he put his fist up in the air. Making Hermione laugh.

"You look ridiculous. Don't do that." she said, holding in her laughter. Harry smiled. "I guess I can say apologize accepted. That doesn't mean I forgive Ronald though. He has to apologize for himself and don't you dare let him say 'For what?' if you say something about it to him. He should know perfectly well what." she glanced down at her watch. Draco was probably already at the library waiting for her.

"Okay, okay. Lets go to dinner then. I'm starving. I've been waiting down here for over an hour."

Hermione rolled her eyes, glancing at her watch again. "You could have apologized later. You didn't have to wait."

"I know, but I knew I needed to now. It was eating at me."

"Well thanks for that. I have to go though. you go ahead to dinner and I'll meet with you later!"

"Where are you-" but he didn't get to finish his sentence as Hermione had already ran out the protrait hole, rushing to the library enterance. Draco was waiting behind one of the bookshelves, looking over a potions book.

"About time. You are late again with meeting me." he said, smirking. "Not like you!" he said, rolling his eyes.

"Well, you most not be very important then." she winked.

"Ouch, Granger! Hurting my feelings." he put the book back in its orginal place on the shelve.

"Lets go find a classroom."

Draco followed Hermione out of the library. Knowing that majority of the students were at dinner they didn't worry about keeping a distance from one another. Down on the third floor in an empty corridor they found a classroom that looked as if it hadn't been used in years. Cobwebs were built up in the corners of the room, and the desks were scattered randomally in the room. Some of them had been broken and peices laid around on the cold ground.

"This is perfect." said Hermione, as she walked in and shut the door behind Draco.

"I guess, it needs to be cleaned up. I don't want to stay in here with a bunch of spiders crawling around." with a mutter of a spell and flick of the wand the candles lit up on the walls. With another flick by him, the spider webs vanished.

"How did you do that?" asked Hermione.

He smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know!"

"Whatever." she said, ignoring his comment. "Did you really mean what you said in your letter this morning?"

"Which part?" he asked, trying to remember.

She narrowed her eyes, trying to judge if he was joking or not. When he didn't look as if he remembered she pulled out one of his letters and opened it. "The part you said, I can't seem to be able to stop myself from thinking about you. Did you mean that?"

He grinned. "Of course I did. What did I tell you in the past? Malfoy's never lie. I don't know why it is; but I think about you a lot. More then I should. Even when I'm doing my bloody homework you are in my mind!"

Hermione couldn't help but to blush. "Same here." she said, quietly.

"Sorry? What was that?" he asked, wanting to hear what she said again.

"I said same here."

"What do you mean, Hermione?"

She sighed through her nose, not wanting to admit to him. "I mean that I can't seem to keep you out of my mind either."

He smiled. "Good." he changed the subject, not wanting to let Hermione know that he liked her, more then she could ever imagine. "Anything interesting happen today?" he asked.

"Before I came here Harry finally really apologized to me. Ronald hasn't, doubt that he will. At least Harry did though."

"At least he isn't being a bloody git anymore."

"Malfoy." she said, firmly. "Even though I was angry with him for being foul doesn't mean you can insult him." he only smirked.

"Did you mention anything about me?"

"No, I didn't.." he looked away, which Hermione made her feel as if that almost hurt his feelings. "But I will, Draco. I just didn't think that was exactly the perfect time for that. I plan to tell him soon though."

"Alright, good."

"What about Blaise and Ginny?" she finally asked, wanting to know anything that Blaise may have said to him.

He breathed heavily. "Goodness. This entire morning I have heard nothing about that Weaslette. Everything out of his mouth today was about her. I couldn't get any word in. He obviously really likes her. He even tried to find her this afternoon, but I'm assuming that was the time she was with you."

Hermione smiled brightly. "I knew it. All this morning Ginny was freaking out that he didn't like her."

"No way. He is really into her. I've never seem Blaise like someone as much as he likes Weaselette. I think its very odd, seeing as they've only hung out once. He talks is if they will be married one day."

They both laughed. "Who knows these days."

"Yeah, you're probably right.. You never know when you are standing in front of the person you will marry in the future."

There was a twinkle in his eyes that Hermione noticed at once, which made her blush and immediately turn away from him.


Surprise! Two chapters in one day. I've been extremely bored.
