Chapter 1: instead of standing in the door way[View Online] [Printer Friendly Version of This Chapter]

The war against Voldemort had been over for 5 hours 27 minutes and 12 seconds. Healers were scrabling from room toroom. The hospital was extremely shorthanded. Every room filled to capacity with wounded Auror and Deatheaters. They didn'thave as many differences now that they were all close to death. Harry Potter was probably the luckiest person to belying unconscious in that place. Harry had almost died yet he got away with a couple of scraps; which was less than what Dracgot away with. Malfoy would have never thought that he would save his worst enemy. In Dracos mind it seemed like Harry wasthe boy who just wouldnt die instead of the boy how lived.

*

Hermione Granger was scared. Walking beside Ron, all she could think was I hope hes there. I hope hes not hurt badly. I wondwho else survived.

Ron could see the worry on her face.

Im sure hes there. Harry c an take care of himself. Plus he had loads of people from the order with him.

Youre right. She gave a slight unconvincing smile. She didnt have the nerve to tell him most of the people from the orderwere dead apart from all nine of the Weasleys. Molly Weasley had said it was nothing short of a miracle and that she was surethat harry would be find.

I cant see him. She said where is he?

Relaxes Hermione, hes bound to be here somewhere. Ron could tell that she was about to cry. But it was not because shecould not find Harry. It was because she did.

He looked better than she expected but he still wouldnt be playing quiditch anytime soon.

e s mov ng. ermone e s awa e.

No-duh, hes awake we could hear you coming for a mile away. said the person next to Harry. Ron gave him a dirty look.

Harry you look dreadful! Does it hurt badly? Hermione asked.

*

Draco watched other people coming to visit their hurt family and friends. No one came to see him. He knew that his family waseither dead or didnt care. He had betrayed his family so in their eyes he didnt exist. He found it easier to blame Potter foreverything.

Its his fault he thought Harry Pot ter, while saving the ent ire wizarding world, managed to dest roy my family. I helped kill thedark lord. I should at least get some credit for it.

It was hard for him to move but in the corner of his eye he could see Harry Potter and his friends.

Visiting time is over. Im sorry but youll all have to leave. c alled a healer.Draco was oddly relieved that everyone had left. Now he wasnt the only one alone. Harry turned to him and somethingunexpected happened.

Why didnt anyone come to see you?

Oh, please Potter. Dont ask questions that you already know the answer to.

I was just asking Malfoy.

Why are you even talking to me? I mean we werent exac tly best mates the last time I checked.

I just wanted to say thank you for what you did.Harry was truly grateful.

[Two days later]

Harry was being released for the hospital. He was going to stay with Hermione because during the war his house was burneddown. Hermione didnt mind, it would be nice to have company.

Its probably because Rons a slob and doesnt have a guest room. She thought and laughed to herself.

[Door bell chimes]

Im coming she yelled

Take your time Hermione were in no hurry Harry called back from the other side of the door.

Were!? Are there two of you cause Ron said he wasnt coming by til later. She was shocked at what she saw on the otherside.

Hey, whos your friend, Harry? Hermione asked before taking a good look at him

Honestly, Granger you dont remember me? said the stranger at her door. She was taken aback by the voice. Thatunforgettable voice, those grey eyes told her exactly who he was.

Harry, what is- um I mean why oh... er sorry. You should probably come in, instead of standing in the door way. Her wordswere jumbled and she didnt know what to say.

~~~~

Hermione and her cousin Charlotte aka Lotty went dress shopping the next morning.

4 days 14 hours 38 minutes and 16 seconds.

It was Hermione was searching for a word to describe the night she had. There isnt even a word for it. she told Charlottwho was trying on another dress.

[Flash Back]

Harry you should have told me, you know. She gave Harry a withering stare.I asked you! You said she wouldnt mind. Draco shot a withering stare at Harry also.


3/23



, .

Sorry I just thought

No you didnt think did you. Because if you were thinking you wouldnt have thought that! Hold on why are you here? shemoved her attention to Malfoy.

[End Flash Back]

Explain what so was There isnt even a word for it. Was it really that bad? said Charlotte struggling with a zipper.

Charlotte, are you kidding me? Malfoy is the most awful person Ive ever met.

I think hes hot. Okay, Im about to come out and you have to be honest with me. What do you think? She opened thedressing room to reveal the most ghastly dress in the universe. It had pink ruffles for goodness sake!

Oh my Lotty! I demand you to take that dress off at once. I refuse t o walk around with if you look like you were swallowed ba cotton candy machine.

Fine Ill change. Give me details! Why is he so awful said Charlotte disappearing into the changing room.

Hes this loathsome c reature that I went to school with but Harry says he has changed.

Why would he say that?

Because Malfoy saved his life and basically he saved the entire world. But She buried her head in her hands letting her hairfall in front of her face.

Charlotte poked her head out of the curtain. oh right cause people save the world all the time.

Im grateful but hesMalfoy. Hes incredibly self important and so rude. He would hurt my friend and hes cursed me twice.

Hermione didnt you have any good verbal come backs? Or you could have just hit him. she said coming from the c hangingroom in a less hideous dress I mean if he started cursing like a sailor then I say you should have she was cut off by hercousins laughter Whats so funny?

You think he... he c ursed me Lotty. Not cursed me out.

Dont laugh at me. Im a nuggle or whatever you call us. Mione this story is depressing me. I need ice c ream. She c omplained

Fine let's get out of here; Ive got ice cream at home.

I hope that sexy blond guy is there.

*Back at Hermiones flat everything was mind numbingly dull. Draco was bored. Hermione was out with her muggle cousin and hewas left alone sort of. Harry was there but he was asleep. He had nothing better to do so he snooped. He didnt go through herdoors or anything but she did have an awful lot of ice cream in her fridge, more than any normal person would have. She alsohad an abnormal amount of books. Figures she would have this many books in her room he thought they arent even on shelvesHer books were scattered all over her room; in the closet, under the bed, on the dresser, in the living room, on the coffee tablein the guest room, staked in the corners of every room, and in the hallway closet.

This girl needs to get herself a storage room or something. He thought

What are you doing? said a voice behind him

Looking for something to do he turned around to see a very scruffy Harry. He had a serious case of bed head and he still hadsleep in his eyes

Just wait until the girls get back. I cant wait til you met Charlott e. Shes insane. Last year Ron and I were in hiding at herhouse. She kept batting he eyes at me.

[Harry is telling Draco what happened last year]

Hiya, Harry. Youre going to be staying in my room for a while. Charlott e said batting her eyes.

Where will you be staying?

Well arent you nosey. Ill be in my parents room.


4/23



She just stood there staring at him.

See you at dinner Harry she said leaving the room with a flirty smile on her face.

[The end of Harrys story]

Harry the next t ime youre going to tell a story brush your teeth f irst mate.

Chapter 2: So lover dear let me in

[View Online] [Printer Friendly Version of This Chapter]

Why the hell does your flat have to be on t he top floor? Its c alled a flat for god sake! complained Charlotte. How many stairdo we have to go?

Shut up Charlotte, Its only 4 flights. Plus were here Fumbling through her purse, Hermione noticed Shoot, I dont have mykey...""I didn't think you would need one when you have a wand. If I were you I would use magic for everything.

"Well unlike you Lotty, I like doing some things without magic like shopping, or opening a door...especially if it's one that I shoulhave a key to "

*

[Doorbell chimes]

That must be them, He said, walking towards the door. Charlotte, are you out there?

Yes, Harry, darling, I will marry you, She called back jokingly as Hermione rolled her eyes. My cousin seems to have lost hermind and her keys. So lover, dear, let me in.

On the other side of the door, Harry gave Malfoy an all-knowing look, and then opened the door.

Charlotte threw her arms around Harry and said, Youve gotten taller since the last time I saw you.what are you seven feetnow? before he had time to answer she pushed him away, and strutted towards the hot blond as she would put it. Soonafter, Hermione went in to her room to put away her new book. Hello, Handsome. I dont believe Ive ever had the pleasure ofmeeting you. She said batting her eyes like a mad women. Im Charlotte.

So Ive heard, said Draco Im Draco.

So Ive heard. Were making sundaes. Follow me. She turned and then walked towards the kitc hen with more wiggle in her wathan normal.

The guys did as she said and followed her into the kitchen. Charlotte isnt the tallest person in the world; so as she reached upto the freezer to get the rum raisin, which is on top of the butter pecan, her newest tattoo of a butterfly emerged from underher shirt. Harry wasnt surprised by it. It had been close to eleven months since the last time they had seen each other.

Nice tattoo, said Harry

Charlotte was so amused by him that she totally forgot what she was looking for.

*

[Early the next morning]Hermione has various addictions; one of the worst is the caffeine monkey on her back.

Hermione was now working on her third cup of coffee, while sitting on the counter top. She had completely forgotten about theblond on her couch, which was now looking at her sip her coffee.

Good morning.

Hermione was so startled she nearly dropped her cup. Hey, I forgot you were here.

Could I get some of that , He said, pointing to her cup.

Oh, yeah, help yourself. Oh, wait. Youll have to make a fresh pot cause I kind of

I understand. Im a complete c affeine freak."

"We all have to choose our poisons, now dont we?"

5/23



Draco sent a quiet smile her way in more amusement than agreement.

"So what do you do? He said after a few brief moments of silence.

I beg your pardon.

Job wise, I mean. Do you work at the ministry or something?

Oh, no, I had worked in a book store and thenIve been out of work for close t o a year now.

Why did you get fired?He paused while he looked for the coffee mugs.

Theyre in the one on the left. She pointed towards a cupboard above the sink. I didnt get fired I quit. My boss was a littlepower mad, and I wouldnt sleep with him so I quit. And then the war stopped me from applying for anything else. What aboutyou?

Oh...well I've never really had a job."

"Really why....stupid question. You probably never had to...I mean with your family money and all, you should be set for life."" It wasnt family money; It was my fathers money. He invested a large portion of it in this pathetic war. So one night I tookwhat was left of it and head for the hills. I bought a small house. When my father found out, he burned it down. He stared inthis mug in silence for what seem like forever. I hope you dont mind me being here, but I promise I wont become some sort offree loader. Cause I know were not really friends or even acquaintances. You probably dont even like me, but I am verygrateful for you letting me stay here.

With that said, Draco toke his cup and left the kitchen.

Draco, you can stay here as long as you like, She said, smiling at him as she refilled her cup and went to her room.

Chapter 3: Stupid Death Eaters


On Hermiones agenda for the day goes as follows

Coffee, Coffee, CoffeeShowerWake up Harry

ShoppingStop by Charlottes house visit Aunt Anna.*She got her towel and headed for the bathroom where she bumped into Draco.

Oh were you going to take a shower? they said in unison.You can go in unison once again.Youre my guest you go. She gestured towards the bathroom.Its your house you goAge before beautyExactly you goHa-ha Draco youre funny but I insist you go.No I insistFine then she went for the door but Draco stopped her.You were supposed to say no you go one more time. Then I would go he couldnt help but to smile.I wasnt supposed to do anything. Now just wait. I wont t ake long promise.

[47 minutes later]

She came out of the bathroom. Steam emerged from the room along with a very wet Hermione. He had almost fallen asleepwaiting for her to finish

You can go[10 minutes later]Shower: check*

Harry, wake up!!! Youre going to sleep your life away if you dont get up. Hermione urged him to get up. Harry Im going outDo you need anything?

Yeah sleep!Hermione was annoyed with Harry at the moment, so she went about her businesses.Wake up Harry: check*Hermione was just about to leave.


6/23



Hermone, wat t at stunt you pu e w t t e water wasnt unny.Sorry but I just had to. Let s say it was a childish form of pay back. Now were square. And Im going out for a while you wantanything?

Yeah to come with you.-Umm okay

*

You are not dragging me into book store. He protestedit will only be a sec ond. Plus youre the one that asked to come. She just looked at him waiting for an explanation.

Yeah because I have to get some c loths he said looking down at what he was wearing.With what money? she asked. He said that he wasnt going to bec ome a free loader and part of being a free loader isbarrowing money.

Ill find a job.That s a good idea..

[At the unemployment office]Hello said an older woman from behind a desk. What kind of jobs have you done in the past?I havent worked I never really had to. replied Draco.Oh I see. What school did you attend?HogwartsReally. My son is in Gryffindor. What house were you in?Slytherin.Oh. She said blankly. Well Mr. Malfoy, how well do you type?

Umm Type?This interview was not going so well.

*How did it go.Not so well.Im sorry. You can try again another day. But for now we can go somewhere. A movie perhaps orI need to stop somewhere, could you come with me.Yeah.

*

After running random errands they took a cab to the country side. Hermione had offered to go with Draco somewhere. Hehadnt said where. But it was beautiful there. Draco looked like a stone figure: cold, stiff, very harsh and severe. She wanted toknow where they were going. Then in the distance were the remains of Dracos house. Hermione could find anything to say, sothey stayed silent until the car stopped.

Is this- Hermione didnt finish her sentence before Draco got out.His hands were shoved in his pockets as he walked among the ash. This was his house. The only thing he was proud of. Theonly thing left of his life when it was normal. It was special. Now he had nothing. No house. No job. No money. Nothing. A tearfell down his cheek.Hermione was left helpless a few feet behind him. Why would he want to come out here again?

*

I cant believe his father would burn down his house. Its just too awful. Almost half of the wizarding world is burned down. Goddamn Death eaters. Im lucky I still have my apartment. Youd think that Death eaters would be a little more creative. I meananyone could burn a house down. God damn death eaters. She thought as they headed back to her house. Hermione wanted make harry wasnt still asleep this late in the afternoon.

[Then a sudden stop]

Whats the hold up? asked DracoI dont know.Hermione looked out the window. A sharp jab of panic hit Hermione like a baseball between the eyes. She got out of the cab anran the block and a half to be stop by the yellow tape around her building.

. . .


Hermione was having a strange feeling a dj vu. There she was in St Mungos minor injuries with someone walking beside her,worried. She knows that hes all right but its just being in the hospital that makes her cringe. The person beside her isnt Ronthis time its Draco (no-duh). Her apartment building was burnt down. It was an entznden spell; if you try to put the fire out itwill only spread.

Harry! How are you?

Im fine Hermione, apart from the third degree burns on my arm.

She looked at his arm. It was disgusting. The image of Harrys burnt arm will be in her head forever. Well it was bandaged butstill not tight enough.

I woke up and neither one of you were there so I just went to the kitchen and the stove was lit so I turned it of f. Then itturned on again, so I turned it off again. Anyway I thought if I use a cooling charm, it would go out. But the whole stove caugha light. I tried every ice charm I could think of it just kept spreading.

There was an awkward silence, but Draco finally said what everyone was thinking.

So what do we do now we have no where to stay. No money as far as I know and

Ill find somewhere. said Hermione as she left the room.

Where the bloody hell is she going? asked Harry

I dont know. Well on a happier note Charlotte is here.

What? How?

Hermione and I went to pick her up before we came here but shes not allowed in here, is she?

*

Harry, are you hungry? Draco asked trying to break the silence again

Yeah. But I dont trust you with my food.

Fine Ill have a healer bring it for you but I am going to get something decent in the cafeteria.

Good luck Cause there is nothing decent here.

After Draco left the room, he and Charlotte went to get food. Thank Merlin that everything in the cafeteria was free. Theystood in line with trays; to Draco it was disgusting to think about how far he had fallen in the past 2 years (From citizen high toeating in a cafeteria with a muggle). He does like Charlotte, and the food was ediblekind of.

Charlotte what is that? he pointed to something on her tray that looked like jello with fruit but he wasnt sure.

Um... to be honest I dont have the foggiest. But it looks better than what you have.

Hey! This is ah, I know what this is. I swear I do, I cant think of it at the moment but its edible I think.

Oh you sound so sure of yourself. Charlotte teased.

After along convocation about the mystery food they moved on to other things like music and books.Does this count as our date?

Lordy I hope not and Draco youre nice but a litt le too nice. I mean the way Hermione described you, you were a pompous jerkwho was made her life hell but, youre not. Have you ever read that book Nice guys finish last?

No

Well neither have I but t he tit le says it all. You were bad and nowI sorry. This must sound awful but this just wont work forme. She said the left the commons and waved goodbye.

That is this last time I try to date a muggle. He thought.

*


8/23



"Open up" Hermione yelled while banging on the door.

"What do you want?"

"Umm... are you mad at me. You told me you were going to come by five days ago and you never showed."

"Thats because I found out that Malfoy is living with you. You dont need me around anymore. Harry has got a new best friendand you... you have probably fallen head over heels for Malfoy."

"You have no right to say something like that." They were screaming at each other so loud now that the people in thesurrounding apartments started to come out.

"Lets take this inside."

[20 minutes later]

"God Ron when did you get like this. I swear if you come near me or tell me to quite down one more time I'll hex you in to nextyear. You know what you dont have to worry about that I'm leaving"

"Fine by me"

"Fine"

"Fine"

"Fine"

"F. I. N. E. go already"

"Fine"

Chapter 5: All hail Cleopatra queen of denial


The Winston Hotel is nice. Thats an understatement. Its gorgeous; 60 floors worth of luxury suits.(A/N: picture the Winston lika Hilton) Its one of the most expensive hotels in the wizarding world. It is most famous for how every room is decorated for adifferent species. For example there are muggle rooms, wizard room, goblin rooms, giant rooms etc.Now the question is: how did Hermione afford a two bed room suit?

My mum paid for it. She said nonchalantly

*Hello miss, do you have a reservation? asked the man at the front desk, Michelle

Yes, it should be under Granger.

Oh here you are, two bed room muggle suit. Do you have any bags, miss?

No.

What about you? he nodded in Dracos direction but he wasnt paying attention. Draco was t hinking about the last time he waat the Winston.

[Flash back]Hurry up Draco, darling. His mother called after him. You need some new dress robes. So the sooner we get to the room the

sooner we can hit the town.Im coming. Mum?Yes darling.Can we stop by honeydukes while were out?Sure sweetheart.[End of Flash back]

Hurry up Draco. Hermione called as she stood in front of the lift.

Im coming mum.

Draco did you just call me mum?

He snapped back to reality, after he noticed he wasnt 13 and he wasnt with his mother.


9/23



Ummno.

Yes you did. Dont deny it Draco I heard you. Michelle heard you too right Michelle?

Yes he did said Michelle.

No I didnt.

Whatever Draco.

*

So is this what a muggle hotel room? he said as he lied down on the queen size bed.

Well, the really nice ones. I wanted a muggle room because I knew there would be a tv. Hermione flopped into a c hair near thwindow as Draco fiddled with the television remote control to turn it on before sitting on the bed. They sat in silence for amoment just looking at one another.

Pass the remote.

No he said playfully

That s not fair. If youve never handled a remote before you dont have the right to play couch commando. So give it here.

Whats couch c ommando?

When youre hogging the remote, normally youre on a couch but its the same thing if youre on a bed.

The talking began by discussing the program they were watching. Hermione knew the characters, he did not. She was able togive him background as he asked questions. Those questions unfolded into other questions about the Muggle world. Howexactly do airplanes fly?

So do you think its about time to break open the mini bar?Hermione got off the bed and started rummaging through the refrigerator. It doesnt have any firewhiskey, but theres whiskeygin, rum, a ton of champagne so what do you want?

After they drank out most of the mini bar the secrets started coming out.

I always hated you. And it not cause you were mean to me and my friend its cause youre so damn blond. I swear ever time Iwould look at you Id get a headache.

I hate that dumb blond stereotype. I mean Im not stupid. And wait a second is that why you hated me because I was blond.Thats not right on so many different levels.

What its the truth? Plus you were a gradeA prat.

You know what your friends were probably just as bad as me and my friends but worst cause you didnt know it. Thought youwere so noble for what? Snooping around the school, having secret clubs, breaking curfew multiple times, and getting awaywith it all makes you and your lot grade A+ prats, and thats the truth.

Hermione couldnt help but feel hurt.You want some more? He said just to break the silence.

After another hour or so the entire mini bar was empty.

Hermione.

What?

Whats your story?

With that simple question Hermione spilled everything about her tragic break up with Krum, and Ron.

Rons been an ass lately. Early today I asked him if we c ould stay there and he pract ically laughed in my face. Said that I hadfallen head over heals for you and we didnt need him any more. But here is the funny thing I didnt really need him in the firstplace. What would I need him for? Nothing! I liked him better when he was in love with me. He was nicer and sweet. You knowwhat I think?

No what?

Maybe he doesnt have the nerve to apologies or tell me not to go anymore. Maybe he ac tually doesnt love me any more. NO


10/23



No, that cant be it.

All hail Cleopatra queen of denial.

Then they noticed that mini bar was one bottle away from being empty.

Draco, whats your story?

He ranted about how he didnt like his father. His mother was some sort of saint who would take him to honeydukes, and sendhim candy when he was at school.

I miss her. I dont want t o sound like some battered wife, cause my father never beat me or anything like that.

Then what did he do.

He ignored me.He would all ways parade me around like his toy c loune but never his son.

In her drunken state Hermione started to laugh.

Dont laugh at my problem. I didnt laugh at yours. Your distraught cause Ron doesnt love you any more.

And youre distraught because daddy didnt love you enough when she saw the hurt look on his fac e the guilt built up in to hethroat.

Im sorry I didnt mean that.

Then whyd you say- he was cute off by her lips pressed on his.

Chapter 6: Thank you


RecapThen whyd you say- he was cut off by her lips pressed on his.

There was a freakish pause after t hey separated.[20 seconds later]

Errthank you

Thank you? Is that what you all ways say after some one kisses you?

Um... Well sorry Hermione I wasnt expect ing it.

Another 20 seconds later Draco broke the silence.

Um I have to go. so he did. He apparated to St Mungosleaving her confused.*

Harry, wake up! What are you doing?

That is possibly the dumbest quest ion Ive ever heard. What?She kissed me!

What? Who? Charlotte? Well I saw that one coming.

No. Not. Charlotte. Hermione!

Have you been drinking? Youre slurring your words a bit.

Just a little bit.

A little bit?Okay a lot

So Hermione kissed you?

She's sitt ing in there and she's perfect and she smells really good.

What?

She smells really good and she looks amazing and I am stupid. I said 'thank you.


11/23



Whoa, whoa, whoa. You said 'thank you?

When she kissed me

She kissed you and you said 'thank you?

Yes.

Well that was very polite.

Dont joke. Its not funny.

Did you get drunk before or aft er she kissed you.

We were drinking and she kissed me.

Yeah I know that but when

Just know

You left her to t alk to me. Yup youre stupid

Why?

Because you left

Right that wasnt smart. I should probably get going then.***

What the hell? was the question on her mind. Why did he leave? It was incredibly rude and and and She couldnt think straighAfter a good ten minutes of I wonder when hes coming back she gave up on that and started watching BBC. She was juststarting to get in to an episode of Footballers wives when

Hermione?

You arsehole! How could you just leave like that? And then interrupt the part when Bruno got back from Spain.

Im sorry. I didnt mean to

Then why did you do- She was cut of by his (oh so sexy) lips. Her arms slid around his neck.

Do I need to explain any further? Use your imagination!*Ron felt horrible about what happened between him and Hermione. I was a jerk he mused I should have let her stay but if I leher Malfoy would end up staying here too. So how do I get her with out Malfoy. He thought this over severail time but alwayscame to the same conclusion that he cant get her with out Malfoy.

[Flash back]

"Open up" Hermione yelled while banging on the door.

"What do you want?"

"Umm... are you mad at me. You told me you were going to come by five days ago and you never showed."

"Thats because I found out that Malfoy is living with you."

"You dont need me around any more. Harry has got a new best friend and you... you have probably fallen head over heals forMalfoy."

"You have no right to say something like that." They were screaming at each other so loud now that the people in thesurrounding apartments started to come out.

"Lets take this inside."

Fine. Ron I came to ask if I could stay with you.You and Harry yeah sure. But not that guyThat guy? Do you mean Draco?Draco is that what he is now?I have called him Draco a number of t imes you just never noticed


12/23



Hermione quiet down a bit.

You dont understand his side you dont get it

I dont want to know his side. I thought of all people you would understand my side of this. I dont want him in my house.

Ron. Be reasonable we need a place to stay.

Hermione look at this from my point of view? he put his hand on her shoulder.

Dont touch me Ron

Fine but could you quiet down a bit.

Fine

Fine

"God Ron, when did you get like this? I swear if you come near me or tell me to quite down one more time I'll hex you in to nextyear. You know what you dont have to worry about that I'm leavening"

"Fine by me"

"Fine"

"Fine"

"Fine"

"F. I. N. E. go already"

"Fine"

[End flash back]*

Hello miss, do you have a reservation? asked the man at the front desk, Michelle

Its sir and no but Im meeting someone. It should be under Malfoy

Erm I am sorry but t here is no one here under that name.

How about Granger

Yes would you like me to ring the room to tell them youre here or you could just wait in the lobby?

Could I call?

Yes of course sir. The room number is 708.

With that information, Ron apparated in to the room, to find the room in shambles. He walked in to the bedroom to find Dracoand Hermione in a very compromising state

a/n: i have to put a disclaimer on 9 lines i used in this chap. They are straight out a gilmore girls ep. love ya

Chapter 7: make up your mind


His lips were on every inch of her. His hands rest on her hips. There was hardly any space between them. In their drunken stateit was kind of hard to get to the bed without t ripping yet the stayed connected by the lips. She ran her hands down his chest,and tugged at the waistband of his boxers. The only time they parted was to get Dracos shirt over his head. His hands ventureup under her skirt to drop her panties on the rapidly growing clothing pile. They were on the bed with only thin pieces of fabricbetween them. Now there was no turning back. Their bodies were now moving as one. But of course they were still drunk so itwasnt perfect. Hermione thought that she wasnt as experienced as him. I mean honestly in school the rumors were that he hashagged just about every female in the place. Her thoughts at the moment were what if he wants me to do tricks or something


13/23



Draco?

Yes his yes was muffled because his mouth hadnt left her neck.

I dont know any tricks.

What.

Tricks! I dont know any.

Well neither do I she blushed slightly while kicking her self mentally

Oh, I- he cut her off .

Well there is one. He whispered the one in to her ear so low that she could haredly hear it. Her mouth dropped in shock.

Hasnt any one ever showed you that?

No.

Well I guess Im the f irst.

***

Bliss. Sweet bliss. Even though they had only been at it for a good ten minutes, they had already reached a state of heavenlyjoy. She was pleasing to all his senses. As they hit their climax, she couldnt help but c ry his name. He loved the way she said

his name. Soft to the touch. Sweet and satisfying. Romantic. Romantic is the only word that could fit the sweet nothings thathe whispered in her ear.

*

For Ron this was not as romantic. All he saw was Malfoy thrusting on a girl he adored.

Malfoy get away from her!!! He yelled. Both Draco and Hermione got of the bed stunned, reaching for something to c overthemselves with. Ron was heated with anger. He ran for Draco. He put his hands around Dracos neck, trying to cut off his airsupply.

Ron stop it said Hermione as she searched the f loor for her wand. Once she found it she pointed it directly at Ron. Ron let higo

Hermione, how could you choose him over me?

I didnt. Now let him go.

Fine

As soon as Ron let go Draco, gasping for air hit, him with a mean right hook.

Draco dont

This entire situation was very sobering.

Ron, could you leave us for a secondto get some c loths on?

Yeah right you just want to get the shag-a-thon going again. He mumbled as he waited out side.

*

Draco Im sorry.

For what?

For this. I shouldnt have leaded you on. I think its bet ter that we didnt get too far. Now we dont have to deal with regret inthe morning.

Bullshit

What?

That s bullshit and you know it. There wouldnt be any regret in the morning. Not for me at least . You came c lose to moving onfrom that stupid git standing out there. Youre still stuck on him. If youre not careful he could ruin every possible relationship


14/23



you ever get c lose to having.

Draco Before she could stop him he was out the door.

*

Draco brushed passed Ron.

Watch it Malfoy.

You watch it. Y ou honestly need to wat ch what youre doing cause one of these days shes going to move on and Ill be therewhen she does. With that he left

Ron! Why do you have to come and ruin everything?

Well Im sorry I interrupted your little shagfest, but

But what Ron? Youre always ruining everything for me.

Is that right? Im always ruining everything? Like what?

Like victor and me. We were going very well until you had to come and kiss me out of no where. Then you leave again. I amtried of waiting for you Ronald Weasely, so do you love me or not?

Hermione Well thats completely off the point.

Then what was your point Ron? Why did you come here?

Because I love you Hermione. At this point Hermione was boiling over the top with anger.

SMACK!!!

You bitch.

Now Im a bitch, huh? I thought you loved me. Well, Ron until you make up your mind I dont want you to see you. Now leave!

Ron was completely gobsmacked. He had no chose but to leave.

Chapter 8: highs and lows


Ron was too depressed to apparate so he walked 5.4 miles from the Winston hotel to his flat. His was like any apartment;1bedroom 1bathroom kitchen living room/dining room. Small? Yes it was actually very small. The largest room in it was thekitchen. As soon as he got in he headed for the bathroom to soak his feet. Then suddenly the bath tub caught a light.

"What the-"

He grabbed his towel to put out the flames but they just got bigger. At that point he dec ided to get out. As he opened the dooa large cloud of black smoke infested his lungs. He clasped: his entire flat was burning. The only way to get out was thewindow. He crawled toward the window, and his trousers caught a light. When he pulled them off about half his skin came offtoo. As he struggled to get the rest of his cloths off someone came up behind him and pushed him out the window.

*

This odd dj vu feeling was getting old fast. But once again it wasnt the same person walking next to her. Harry in his hospitasmock spoke the same words that Ron said to her 6 days ago.

Im sure hes there. Ron can take care of himself. A ton of people made it out of that building.

Youre right. Its just that , I was such a prick to him; even though he did have it c oming. I shouldnt have been so childish.

So wheres Draco. He asked as they got closer to those all too familiar door of the major injuries ward.

I dont know. I t ried looking for him after Ron left but she trailed off

No luck?

Nope

*


15/23



"You know what I really hate about women? They cant make up their bloody mind." Draco rambled on. He was drunk off firewhiskey. (Welldrunker)

Mister Malfoy, I think youve had enough. lectured the bartender putting his hand on top of Malfoys glass pulling it towardshim.

N-n-n-no. You know what I really hate? I hate being used by stunningly c lever women. She used me. I was just her reboundboy. And you toke away the happy juice. Whyd you take away the happy juice?

Mister Malfoy, this stuff is not making you happy. Its making you pathet ic.

Youre not a very nice man you know that?

Yeah, yeah I know. I think its time for you to go home.

What home?

*

Harry and Hermione sat on the bed next to a sleeping Ron. How long will he be sleeping? A couple of days, a couple of months, year or two they dont know. He was covered in burns from head to toe. On top of that he had fractured his spin from the fallout the window.

Harry I cant take this, Im going for a walk.

The smell of the hospital was making her sick. She had been here 3 times in the last week. There was too much happening toofast. While walking out of the hospital, Hermione, consumed in her own thought bummed in to none other than Draco Malfoy.

Draco? What are you doing here?

I came to talk to you.

Youre drunk. Lordy, Draco what happened to you?

I have a bone to pick with you. You used me. You used me in a big way. We are in a relationship he trailed off

Draco!!! Its been five bloody days. What relationship? She raged.

What in your words is a relationship? Because I think its the way people relate to each other. Lately weve been relating verywell with each other and Id like it to stay that way. But you have to deal with your Ron issues before you can deal with me.

Draco were not even friends! she shouted. Dont you get that? It was a mistake! And I didnt use you! Scratch that . I did uyou. I lead you on. I thought I was ready to move on. But Im not. All I know is that there is a man in there that is burnt andfractured and and and in a coma for god sack, who was a jerk to me. Im going to wait to see if he wakes up and then we canwork something out. If Ron and I dont work out, then we wont work out. Just know that Im not planning on having you as aback up.

Hermione I dont know what to say to you.

Good

But I know what to say about you. Youre so stupid! Youre the stupidest smart person I know. I hope you and Ron get marrieYou deserve each other. He hissed

Uh they grunted and walked their separate ways.

*

Harry you dont understand! she bantered I didnt even like him when he first came to stay. Then he was sweat and now hepsychotic. This is your entire fault you know.

Me!? Leave me out of this I didnt do a thing. I am not involved in your stupid little love t riangle.

Are you kidding me? Youre the one who said hes not that bad!

Because hes not that bad! I dont know what happened between you two but that doesnt make him a bad guy.

Sure. What ever you say.

What ha ened between ou u s an wa ? he uestioned


16/23



well- he cut Hermione off

I dont want any dirty details mind you.

I wasnt planning on giving them to you she snapped back, well Draco and I where just in the hotel and we talked a lot. Wedrank out the mini bar. She laughed then I kissed him. It was I dont know what it was but he went and ruined it bydisappearing. But before he disappeared he did the sweetest thing.

He said thank you. Harry added

Well yes! she was shocked how did you know?

He told me! he said nonchalantly but what did he do when he got back?

Oh um he c ame and kissed me.

She told her side of things, while her mode bounced up and down because thats how the night went.

When she kissed him: high

When he left: low

When he came back: high

When they kissed: very high

When Ron came: low

When Draco left again: very low

When Ron and Hermione had a fight: incredibly low

When she had to come back to the hospital: lower than low

Now its 2 in the morning and theyre on there way back to the hotel. For Harry it is his first time in the room.

Um Harry, the room is kind of a mess. She toke the key out of her pocket and opened the door.

Kind of? Are you kidding me? Its a train wreck. Harry was the only one in the room at the t ime so Hermione didnt notice thatit wasnt the way she left it.

Well, there is a second bed room that hasnt been touched. You can have- she was stunned.

Some one had been in that hotel room.

Chapter 9: Of Lies And Deception


[A/N: there has been major foreshadowing going on in some of my other chapters. Im hoping that a couple of things will fall intplace. Here is one thing that I hope youve wondered: What happened to Dracos mom?]

If things werent bad enough, it started to rain. The droplets pounded on his skin. His cloths clung to his body, and it was

getting harder to see. But that didnt stop him from standing in the middle of the road.

Why me? he shouted Why me

Shut your hole, would ya? People are trying to sleep.

Sorry

Draco couldnt feel his feet; thats how long he had been walking. He didnt know where he was going. He didnt know where hewas. And there was someone walking behind him. He quickened his paces a bit to the point where he was almost running. I donknow if you ever tried running, skipping, hoping in the rain or not but youll probably slip, which is what he did. And he landed flaon his back. A faceless figure stood over him. Draco was confused. If the nameless faceless figure was going to kill him he woulhave done it already. Instead this person was holding out his hand to help him up.

Draco?


17/23



Blaise?

Draco youre a hard man to keep up with. Nearly pulled a muscle running after you.

Why didnt you just stop me?

I didnt really think of that at the t ime

You were never really a bright one.

Im brighter than you. Come on lets get out of this rain.They walked into the closest pub to catch up on old time. (Cheesy? Yes, I know.)So Draco what have you been up to? Blaise inquired. I havent seen you since

Yeah I know. He stopped him. Tonight, Draco didnt need anymore things to think about. I havent really been doing anythingI was in the hospital for awhile and then I ran into Harry Potter. Its odd to think about we became friends actually.

Friends!? Are you kidding? he blurted out as he called for the bartender.The bartender turned out to be an old friend of Dracos.

I thought I told you to go home. Voiced t he bartender

Dont worry Im not drinking. Its a dirty habit that I think I should drop.

Alrighty then, what can I get your friend. He turned his attention to Blaise. Blaise was still a litt le stunned by Harry and Draco

being friends.

[3 hours later. Its 5ish]

Blaise I really apprec iate you lett ing me stay with you tonight. said Draco as the stood outside of a door. A random door thatDraco figured was an apartment of some sort. Blaise just grinned at him, opening the door. They walked into a room that felt sofamiliar to Draco but he couldnt put his finger on it. The green couches, the fire place, the two different stair cases (on theright and one to the left), everything about this room made him feel at home. So where was he?

Hogwarts. Draco murmured under his breath. Blaise what are we doing here?

What do you mean? Blaise plopped himself on a couch.

Were in Hogwarts. Were in our old common room.

Blaise just smiled at him. Soon one tall person in dark cloaks came down from the stair case. Blonde hair fell hair fell to the fronof the cloak even though you couldnt see their face. Blaise stood.

Ah, Blaise you found him. The person took out his wand and pointed it at Blaise. I have no further use for you. AvadaKedavra. With that Blaises breathless body fell to the floor. Come Draco. She commanded.

*Draco, I dont know if you know this but you have done me a great favor. With Old Voldy gone, I can rule. The problem withVoldemort was that he was ignorant, ugly, and thought too small To rule the wizarding world was all he wanted but why stopthere why not the entire world.

Who are you?

Dont you recognize me Draco, darling? She slowly removed her hood. Oh and I so hoped you would remember my voice.

*

Hey Charlotte and friendHermione noticed Charlotte had a very muscular man standing behind her.

Hes the new love of my life so be nice. Charlotte whispered in Hermiones ear. This is Ab

Oh umm, come in. Its nice to meat you Ab.

Ab, short for Abraham, was the strong silent type. Hes built like a quarterback and makes Harry look like a stick. Harry wasnttoo happy that Charlotte showed up with another guy especially one with the brain the size of a peanut.

Harry, darling, Id like you to meat Ab.

Boyfriend? Its been 3days.


18/23



So?

Charlotte lead her boyfriend by the hand into the living room. Harry was stunned to say the least.

Apparently it only takes three days to get a boyfriend, Harry. Hermione snickered then followed Charlotte. Lot ty, Can I talk tyou far a second please.

Hermione pushed Charlotte in to the closest bathroom.

Hermione before you say anything. Hes not my really boyfriend.br />

What?

*

You see Draco, my plan is to get rid of all your litt le friends and everyone in a position of powerevery where. Ive already havthe island under my rule. Imagine what would happen if we ruled together.

Mum, you cant do that .

Why cant I? I already have those brainless idiots who called themselves deatheaters following my every command. I can dowhat every the bloody hell I want Draco. And Ive already started. Her voice was completely stoic. He couldnt tell her mood.She was no longer his mom, just a shell of a woman. She was now the female version of Voldemort.

God, youre just like your father. And you see where that got him. He pushed me way to far and now hes gone.

Chapter 10: 6:23:59:58


So hes not your really boyfriend?

No, of c ourse hes not. I picked him up of the street like two hours ago.

Charlotte you are insane! You know that right? Hermione stammered while taking a seat on the rim of the tub. So nowLotty, explain this to me.

Okay, well I I like Harry.

So what does that have to do with Mr. Banal out there?

Well Harry wont f ight for me. I mean I bring home one loser after another and he just doesnt get it. I was hoping if I got

together with Draco then Harry would get mad but my plan fell apart when he was in the hospital. So I figure if I get someone ttreat me badly, and flaunt it in front of Harry, hell she was cut off.

Charlotte youre insane. How is he supposed to figure that out? Just tell him you like him. Simple! See it c ould be so simple.With that Hermione left the bathroom.

*

Mum, how is it that you can be in Hogwarts with Professor McGonagall here?

Are you kidding, Draco? I have her thinking that she st ill runs this school but you should know bet ter Draco. I run this school.She seemed all too proud of herself. Draco, darling, would you like to know how I got to this point. He didnt answer oh ofcourse you do. Voldemort was a sweat talker, a powerful leader, and a man. He was easy to manipulate. He thought I was at h

beck and call when really he was at mine.

Oh mum do I really have to hear this? he was semi-disgusted.

Get your mind out of the gutter Draco, I was his right hand not your father. I bummed you father from that position years agoVoldemort was ready to make me his successorif he ever died. Which is why I was going to kill him but thanks to you I didnthave to.

*

Charlotte continued with her plan to make Harry jealous no matter what Hermione said. So every now and again she wouldwhisper in Als ear or playfully touch his leg. When Hermione saw this she would just roll her eyes. After a while she saw Harry dthe same.

Harry lets get Sundays. Hermione suggested


19/23



Oh can I come? Charlotte interjected

No! No you just sit there. Come on Harry.

After they were in the hotel lobby Harry started ranting about Charlotte.

Can you believe her? Always giggling and smiling and and Its unbearable. And Al! He doesnt talk and when he does its likecharlotte get me this, or Charlotte get me that. Where does she get these guys from? She knows I like her but she doesntshe cut him off.

Why are you telling me this? Tell her, not me. Both of you are insane. First of all you shouldnt assume that she knows. Secon

of all tell her you like her. And stop making this so complicated.

Sorry.

[20 minutes later]

Were back with ice cream. Hermione and Harry entered the room to find Charlotte sobbing into Als shoulder.

Lotty what happened to you? Hermione went to consol her cousin.

My house was she c ried even harder. Hermione held her until she calmed down a bit.

Oh my, Lot ty is your mom okay?

Yeah thank god! My dad was at work and my mom has a small burn. A small burn, thats what she said. I was waiting for you t

get back. Can you come with me to get my mom?

Harry advised Al to leave. He thought it was odd that he didnt want to be with his so-called girl friend in the time, but he wasglad Al was gone.

Ill go with you Charlotte. Harry offered.

Thank you Harry.

*

Draco, since youre my son I wont kill you now if you say no. Im going to give you a week. I dont c are what you do with thatweek. You could tell all your little friends about my plans. You could run off with the circus for all I care, just be back in aweek.

What if I dont come back?

Ill give you something to keep you from forgetting to come back. Tempo na tinta! she dec lared. Searing pain came from hisleft wrist, there in black ink was 6:23:59:58.

Youll be back, Draco.

A/N: this chap is short i know. i have to give a shout out to my wonderful beta Belladonna black. you've been great with helpinme on the last 3 chaps! lots of love to ya. we are nearing the end so to all of my readers stick with me. and tempo na tintameans time in ink in german

Chapter 11: Now, tell me something important.[View Online] [Printer Friendly Version of This Chapter]

So I have six days he thought to himself. Six days twenty-two hours and forty-seven minutes to get help. I should tell Harry.Draco made his way to the all too familiar Winston. All he could hope for was that they hadnt checked out yet.He waited in front of the door wondering whether to knock or not. Theres no time to be nervous he told himself. There was notime for anything. All he wished while he knocked was that Hermione wasnt there. Draco hasnt been having the best of lucklately, so you can only expect that

Draco, what are you doing here. She seethed.

I need to talk to Harrynow.

Well, hes not here.


20/23



Where is he? There was no time for witty word game that Hermione plays. He pushed past her. He just had to make sure.Where is he? Draco repeated.Hes at the hospital with-

Hes at the hospital!?! No!!!! He has to be health. His voice lowered. Draco moved his hands through his hair. He continued Icant do this by myself. Its been two weeks. No one is expecting this. Im not ready for this. NO ones ready for it. Half thepeople arent even out of the hospital yet hes cut off

Malfoy shut up! Youre doing my head in. she barked Now, slow down and tell me what the hell youre talking about. He wasscaring her to say the least. For a while she thought hed lost his mind, with the way he was acting.

Come He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out the room. Now she really was scared. She pulled he arm away from him.

Im not going anywhere with you until you tell me what the hell is going on.

Look! he pushed up his left sleeve, showing her how much t ime he had left . 6days 22hours 37minutes 14seconds.

Draco what is that?

I figured you read about them in one of your beloved books. That s how much time I have.

Time to do what?

*

I dont like this, Harry. F irst your house then Hermione and Ron. And now me. I mean what I have to do with any of this. Im anuggle for god sake.

Harry tried really hard not to laugh. It wouldnt have been appropriate for him to correct her.

You know your aunt and uncle are st raight prats, so anyone could have burnt their house down. But why me? What do myparents have to do with this? Why is all this happening?

She was right. When his Uncles house bunt down, he didnt think anything of it. Could all these fires be connected? [a/n: no-duh]

I dont know Charlotte. But Ill figure it out.

*

Is there anything else I can do for you my lord? asked Amycus

Dont call me that. Do I have Voldemort stamped on my forehead? I didnt think so.She barked. Now tell me what my son has been doing.

Well, he went back to that hotel and got the girl. When we searched the hotel the f irst time there was nothing importantthere.

Were you disc reet?

Discreet, miss?

Yes we dont want them to know that we were there. The whole point of us doing this so soon aft er that old goats fall was sono one would expect it. Her voice went two octaves higher as she continued. We are right under there noses and the ministrdoesnt have a clue. And the only way we can stay unknown is by lying low. Do you understand me?

Yes my lord.

Call me that again and you will die a slow and painful death. Her wand was pointed at his throat. Now, do you understandme?

Yes, miss.


21/23



At his answer she calmed down.

So what has my son been doing? Anything important?

Well he and the girl went off to find Harry Potter.

And why is this important?

Well Harry Potter was the one who defeated the Dark lord-

My son was the one who defeated the old goat. And should I remind you again what happens to people who mention that oldgoat? I didnt think so. I am not afraid of a child, unlike your Dark lord. Now tell me something important

Well I except that Draco will tell the ministry.

Now thats exac tly what I was looking for.

A/N: yeah i know it's short, but... tell me what you think. and i'll give you one guess to what place will be burnt down next *hinhint*Love ya

Chapter 12: self-pity served with a pillow and a smile.


"This is unacceptable. My mother has been here for thirty minutes and you cant find a decent pillow in this intire hospital. Shecould be dying!! How would you feel if she died right now and you did nothing to stop it, huh? what then? wha-" Charlattesuddenly burst into tears. The volenteer girl she was yelling at looked petrified. As soon as Charlotte walked towards the neareschair, the poor girl ran to the bathroom to cry.

-Harry, I dont think we should leave my mom. I mean look at this place... i cant even find a decent set of pillows."

"Her pillows are fine" he urged

Anna Pruet had gotten annoyed with her daughters crying and self-pity, so Charlottes opinion didnt really count. WhenCharlotte left the room (more pillows) Anna demanded that Harry take her somewhere to calm down.

Charlotte you were being a bit extreme dont you think?

How so?

She doesnt want all this attention espec ially when they're going to be releasing her in a couple of hours... and with thepillows you were smothering her.

Harry dont make jokes. I would never smother my mother with pillows.

What ever you say Charlotte. This was one conversation he would never win so there was no point. You want to get sometake away or something?

That d be great.

[20 minutes later]

Harry explain this to me again.

Harry had devised a theory. Some of it didnt fit right but for the most part it was correct.

Well, the deatheaters that are left from the final battle are taking revenge on the people on my side. Theyre burning downevery building to tell us its not over.

And why would they burn my house?

Because I was hiding at your house last year.It's like they're saying there is no place for us to hide.""who? i mean who are the 'they' you're talking about."

"i havent gotten that far yet."


22/23



[6days 20 hours 53minutes 22 seconds]

Draco and Hermione were in the back corner of Three Broomsticks. He seemed jittery. Paranoia was getting the best of him.

Someones watching us. He whispered. Draco didnt look at her once; his eyes just scanned the room.

What? Who, Draco? Were in the very back no ones watching us. If anything were watching everyone else.

Hermione someones watching us.

Draco who put that that temp on your arm?

My Mother.

Your mother, the saint. Your mother, t he same women who sent you candy and bought you every thing you ever want. Is itthat mother youre referring to?

He gave a silent nod, still scanning the room.

Someones watching us

The conversation didnt go any further than that. They both knew they didnt have time for sitting around.

[6days 20hours 46minutes 11seconds]

It was quiet. So quiet you would think it was a situation of complete peace. But no it wasnt a moment of complete peace.Hermione and Draco were still sitting at that back table and scanning the room.

Draco this is silly. Lets go find Harry. If someone really is watching us then they'll follow us out of here. She stood up andoffered her hand. He just look at her for a moment and then toke her hand.

Fine.

Hermione lead him by the hand like he was a child.

Come on lets go. As she lead him out, he started t o question his paranoia. Was he just being paranoid? And if he was thenhow would he explain that feeling, the feeling that someone was looking at him?

Hermione? I know Ive been he trailed off .

Never mind that. Lets just find Harry.

Just as Draco had said before someone was watching them.

[6days 20hours 34minutes and 29seconds]

Youre absolutely infuriating. Narcissa screamed.

Youve been watching my son for roughly two hours..." she woved across the room towards her servant and roughll poundedher hands on the end table. "... and all you have to say is he want to The Three Broomsticks with the girl. Well that is

unacceptable. In her rage she picked up the end table and hurled it in his direction.

Forgive me my lord.

Youre infuriating. She screamed again.

[5days 16hours 48minutes and 14 seconds]

The next morning after they found Harry, there were so many things to be told but who would start. The first of the speechesto be told was Harrys. He had is theory all figured out. All of the fires from the past three weeks round/in London wereconnected. The only thing left to figure out was who was starting them. Next was Draco. His recollection and report on the

quality time he spent with his mother left the room silent.

I say Hermione should go to the ministry. Get all the help you can. He continued. And Harry and I should go and find Narciss


23/23


e ore s e oes any ng e se.

Narcissa? Why are you calling your mum by her first name? Hermione asked

Because shes not my mum. So, Harry are you ready. He said as he checked his wrist again. Five days fifteen hours fifty-fourminutes and eight seconds.

As long as youre ready to do what you have to when the time comes. Harry was right; when the time came Draco would bethe one who would have to kill his mother. Harry and Draco stood to get ready to leave. Hermione, realizing what Harry wassaying started to cry. Draco step towards her and got to his knees to be at eye level. He smoothed her tears away then movehis fingers under her chin, t ilting her head up.

Hey what are the tears for? I thought we werent even friends, so why cry for me?" he asked with a soft but serious smile.

Because you wont cry for yourself."

[The End]

A/N:Dont freak out!!! If you look on my page you'll see i have a new story; Counting 4,3,2,1. And that is part two of this. SoThank you for sticking with me and Part two should be posted now but i'm still working on chapter 2. Love ya.~Chelsea~
