Hey people of the world, I'm sooooooooooo...oooooooooooo...ooooooooo (can we cut this short) sorry for not updating until now.

Chapter 3

"And so, there I was, chained upside down against the coldest wall in the deepest cell of the darkest dungeon in the most terrifying castle in the world. The minister had summoned the most threatening of all wizards to kill me. My own wand had been thrown to the other side of the room, but being the Malfoy I am, I was not even the slightest bit frightened. It was nothing but a challenge to me. So as I hung there, I made sure to evenly hold the mammoth sized wizard's horrifyingly soulless gaze without so much as blinking. Eventually, the beast could no longer stand my deathly glare and had to look away. It was in that precise moment that I performed an extremely difficult and dangerous spell without the use of my wand to knock out the disgustingly vile perpetrator and then performed an equally complicated and exquisite spell to disintegrate my chains and handcuffs. Once that was done, I made my way to the door. It was only once I was there that I noticed the witch sitting mischievously in the corner of the room. The little witch rose from her place in the shadows and I instantly realized that it was no other than Hermione Granger. I knew then that the minister was not the one behind all of this cruelty, but Granger with her devious intelligence. She must have somehow convinced the whole ministry to do as she said. I bet she used the Imperious curse on them. Well, back to the story... so I was standing face to face with the brains of that evil plot when she told me—actually hissed at me—that the only way I could leave alive was if I agreed to marry her. I of course, knew that THAT was only a trick to get me to stay long enough for the other wizards to come and that she would never expect me to agree to the marriage. So, I knelt on one knee to the ground with just as much courage as her and asked her, with all the power left in me, to marry me." finished Draco with an air of triumph.

Most of the Slytherins in the train were now starring at him with opened mouths, shocked at how amazing and heroic their prince had been. Blaize Zabini was the first to get out of his state of shock. "But you aren't really married to her, now are you?"

"Sadly, things were not that easy. She then forced me into doing an unbreakable swear to assure her that I would marry her in the next few years." said their hero in a grave tone.

This news was instantly followed by gasps. The boys tried to comfort him, but failed completely because of their unsuppressed laughter. Meanwhile practically every single girl burst into tears, realizing that all their hopes and dreams of being with Draco had now been destroyed by the 'oh so innocent' Hermione Granger.

Meanwhile, in the Gryffindor section of the Hogwarts express, Hermione also had a large crowd listening to her. "Once I heard the terrifying news, I immediately put my mind to work into figuring a way out of it. But try as I may, the bloody minister wouldn't change his mind in the slightest. Of course, it's not like Malfoy was any help. When Kingsley finally told us that we would have to be wed, the 'oh so aristocratic pure blood' dove at the minister of magic with his bare hands smacking through the air, attempting to hit him or something. Being me and not wanting to go to Azkaban for not stopping anything, I did an exquisite spell to protect Malfoy, from the minister. But I was not going to let the minister go on through his day as if he hadn't just ruined the lives of several innocent people and, well, Malfoy. And so, before the pathetic excuse for a minister left, I threatened the minister that I would free all the house elves at Hogwarts if he did not change his mind. Sadly, at that last remark, the minister returned the threat by telling us that he would call in the Dementors. That's when Malfoy fainted of fright. The minister called security to nicely escort us out." finished Hermione with a false air of despair.

Then, all the Gryffindors stood up and either applauded her for her bravery or rushed over to give a reassuring hug, saying southing and gentles words like 'Don't worry Mione. We'll find a way to murder him sooner or later.'

They were interrupted by something so horrifyingly disastrous, so ghastly and abhorrent, so loathsome and, well quite cruel for those having to listen; it was Penny's comment.

"So you actually can, like, date the Draco Malfoy. Like the hottest guy in school. Like I'd do anything to date him!-" the young 2nd year girl was cut short after everyone went quiet and then gasped at her like her skin had grown purple fur. "I mean, not now but when I'm older. Mum would never let me date someone older than me." she tried to correct herself but was met with just as many shocked looks.

"Penny," mumbled her best friend "I really don't think you should have said that."

Hermione was about to say something when the deafening sound of the train whistle was heard, followed by an abrupt stop. They all silently made their way to the exit, muttering things like 'lunatic' or 'crazy' or even 'demented'.

The young Penny was left standing alone. "Why do all Gryffindors say that when I speak of his holiness..."

Hey, hope you liked it even though it was REALLY short. I'm sorry again for that. I was wondering if any of you have any stories of what happened when you completely exaggerated a story, tell me in your reviews and soon you'll figure out what happens to them. PLEASE, pLeAsE, pleeeeease review.

I don't have many reviews so far so I would like to thank all the people who have reviewed. You all get a virtual cookie. - o -that's the cookie.

LuvLuvv: Yes you are an amazing beta. But I TOTALLY didn't have to tell you that, cuz I'm sure your ego tells you that every day. And thanks a lot for the long/ random review. It made the scroll get a lot smaller, but don't even try using up all the 2000 characters cuz your waisting your time.

eviltink04: Thanks a lot . I'll keep writing if people keep reviewing. And I just LOVE that you love my story.

sweet-tang-honney: 1st of all, I just love your name. It sounds cool out loud. 2nd of all, thanks a lot for the complements. And 3rd, I adore people who review every chapter so don't stop.

Megara Spoiler: I'm glad you like it. I just get my ideas really randomly. I'll be eating lunch, someone will say something and I'll be like 'that could be in a story' and I'll write it down in my note book. This is just the first time I'm actually putting them into a story. I'll update WAY sooner next time.

Miss Crookshanks: Thanks, I hope it stays just as interesting.

martshi3: Thanks to you too. I hope you'll like the rest of the story just as much. And yes, I did notice that you reviewed and if it weren't for you, it would probably still be a few more weeks until I even thought about updating. Next, I swear, it won't be as long.

REVIEW!
