They entered their dorm, and ate the turkey sandwiches Ginny brought Hermione. "I'm thirsty." said Draco "So am I. Let's go to the kitchen and we could start a new task before dinner." she suggested
They went to the kitchen and drunk some some water. "What task do you suggest we could before dinner?" said Malfoy starring at the list. "We could always just make arrangements for the dance that's coming up." "That's seems alright." he said. They went to Professor Mcgonagal's office and asked her if they could start the phone calls. She told them to go to the library and use the two extra phones they had in there. They walked to the library. And guess who they bumped into this time. "Pansy. What are you doing here?" said Malfoy "What are you doing with this Mudblood?" she said giving Hermione a dirty look. "If you have a problem with me Pansy, why don't you just say it to my face. Unless you're afraid of a real challenge." said Hermione returning the dirty look. "Oh yeah Mudblood?" said Pansy "Is that the only vocabulary word you know?" said Hermione "Enough! The both of you." he turned to Hermione and said "Ignore her. Go and wait for me by the library. I'll meet you there in a second." "Fine." she said. She left and walked to the library. Now he turned Pansy. "What did I tell you last night? I asked you many times to leave her alone." Malfoy said to his girlfriend. "Oh, so now she's your friend?" said Pansy "As a matter of fact, she is. I told you last night. We are too mature for this anymore. We've had our fun, but now we've gotta start thinking about our future, and I'm not gonna let you stop me from succeeding in what I want." he said as he started to walk away. "Draco. Are you breaking up with me?" she said "Yes. I need time for to think about what's best for me, without my girlfriend trying to get into fights in the process. I'm sorry Pansy. You've been a great girlfriend, but your becoming uncontrollable. I'm sorry, but I've gotta go." he said and he ran to the library leaving Pansy in shock.
"Finally, you're here." said Hermione "Yeah. Look, I'm sorry Pansy attacked you like that." said Malfoy "It's alright. Are you okay? You don't look to good." said Hermione. "I just broke up with Pansy." said Malfoy. "Oh. Was it because of me? If it is, I'm deeply sorry. Maybe you should go back and talk to her." said Hermione "No. I'm tired of telling Pansy to grow up. I mean I know she got use to the fact that we've been teasing you all these years. No offense." "Non taken" "But she must understand that this is our last year here. After this we've gotta go and start our own careers. She refuses to grow up, and I can't handle that." he said "Oh. I'm sorry." "It's not your fault Hermione." said Malfoy "And besides, she never trusted me. I mean, how can you have a relationship when your partner doesn't trust you?" he asked "You're right. That's why me and Ron never made it as a couple. He didn't trust me whenever me and Krum hang out together. I mean people are allowed to have friends of different genders, right?" "Yep. Well let's forget about Pansy and Weasley and finish this before dinner." "Okay" said Hermione. They made at least 12 phone calls each before everything was complete. "Let's go to dinner, I'm starving." said Hermione. They went to dinner. When they got to the Great Hall they went their separate ways. "So Hermione. How did you and Malfoy handle your little incident?" said Ginny "Ginny!" said Hermione "Alright, alright. You take the fun out of everything, woman." said Ginny disappointingly. "What happened with you and Malfoy?" said Harry "Nothing. We were just cleaning the trophy room, and we needed to put the last trophy in place. So he lifted me up so I could put in place. Me being clumsy as usually, almost fell. So he caught me, and little miss Ginny here is making a big deal out of it." said Hermione "Why didn't you just use your magic?" said Ron "It would've been a waste. I mean it was only three inches above heads. What's the use of magic for a little thing like that?" she said. "Man these people make a big deal out of everything. Don't they?" Hermione thought. Hermione ate in silence for the rest of their dinnertime. "Hermione?" said Malfoy when she got back for dinner "Yes." she replied "When is that dance?" he asked "November 19. Why?" "Oh, nothing. Just asking." "Can I go into the shower before you, please?" "Go ahead. I already took a shower." "Oh. Okay. Thanks."
She grabbed her towel and went to take her shower. Malfoy fell asleep. Hermione cane out of the bathroom an hour later. She changed into her night gown and went to Malfoy's side of the room. Malfoy was a heavy sleeper so he didn't feel anything she did. She sat beside him and gently ran her fingers through his hair. "If only you knew." she said
It was finally Saturday and everything on the list was checked off. They handed Mcganagal the list. She was impressed. "You'll get the other list next Saturday. Good job. Now go and have some fun in the village. You both deserve it." she said "Thank you Professor." they both said. They left and walked down to the village together. "Have you heard the rumor about Weasley and Thomas?" said Malfoy "No" "They broke up." "Don't worry about it. They do this all the time. They'll be back together by next week." she said . They reached the village. "Where do you wanna go?" he asked her "How about we go and get a butterbeer." she suggested "Alright." They went into The Three Broomsticks and Malfoy ordered two butterbeers for her and him. "Thanks." No problem. So where are your little friends?" Quddtich practice. What about yours?" "Crabbe and Goyle have detention for two weeks." The two finished their butterbeers and headed outside. "Oh boy. I knew I should have brought a jacket." said Hermione. It suddenly turned a little chilly outside. Malfoy took off his jacket and put it on her. "You need it more than I do." he smiled "Thanks." she smiled back "Come on. I have something to show you back up at our dorm." he said. When they reached their dorm, he opened his closet and pulled out a case. It was a case in the shape of a guitar. When he opened it, he pulled out a beautiful black guitar. "You play the guitar?" asked Hermione "Yeah. I've been working on a song. But I was wondering, since your good at writing, it you could help me with the lyrics." "Sure. I'd love to!" she said excitedly (I know this is beyond cheesy, but just go with the flow. I know you all know this song. Don't ruin it for the other people who don't. Thank you!) He started to play a beautiful beat. Then he began to sing.
"Staring out at the rain with her heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice brings me back like a wake up call
I've been searching for the answer, somewhere....
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you made me believe in myself
when nobody else could help
Because you live (girl)
My world has twice as many stars in the sky."
"Do you like it?" he asked
"Like it? I LOVE IT!"
"Can you help me finish it?"
She grabbed a notebook and a pencil and sat right next to him on his bed. They worked for at least three hours on the song. "Finally we've finished it." he said. "Yeah. Why don't you start from after the first chorus." He picked up his guitar, and began to play.
"It’s alright, I survived, I’m alive again,
’Cause of you, made it through every storm,
What is life? What’s the use, if you’re killing time?
I’m so glad I found an angel…
Someone…who was there when all my hopes fell.
I want to fly, looking’ in your eyes…
Because you live, and breathe
because you made me believe in my self
When nobody else can help
Because you live (girl…you live …)
my world (my world) has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live … I live
Because you live, there’s a reason why
I carry on, when I lose the fight.
I want to give what you’re giving’ me, always…
because you live (and breathe)….
because you made me believe in my self
When nobody else can help
Because you live (yeah)
my world (my world) has twice as many stars in the sky …
because you live (and breathe)….
because you made me believe in my self
When nobody else can help
Because you live
my world, has everything I need to survive…
Because you live…I live…
I live."
Two months past, and it was finally November. People were going crazy trying to find dates for the dance. "So who are you guys going with?" Hermione asked her friends two weeks before the dance. "I'm going with Ginny. Ron's going with Luna. Dean's going with Pavarti. And Neville is going with Pavarti's sister." said Harry "Who are you going with?" he asked her "I can't tell you that. You guys would never talk to me if I did tell you. All I'm telling you guys is that he's changed and if guys are really my friends, you would accept my decision no matter who it is." said Hermione "Of course. We're your best friends. We'd never stop talking to you because of someone you're dating. What do you take us for?" said Ron slurping his spaghetti. "You guys promise?" she said "We promise." said Ron and Harry
If was finally the nineteenth and everyone was at the dance. Ginny was wearing a strappless red knee lenght dress. Her hair was in a bun. Luna wore a long silver dress, and she had her hair in a elegant ponytail. All the boys wore black suits and ties. "Where's Hermione?" asked Luna
As soon as those words left her mouth, Ginny answered "There she is. And you won't believe who her date is." They all turned around and saw how beautiful Hermione looked. She wore a beautiful silk black dress that showed off her figure. She had her hair in big beautiful curls. And on her left wrist was a diamond watch. But when they saw who she was with, their mouths dropped.
