" Happy birthday Draco ! "

Hermione hands him a present.

They are sat together in Malfoy manor , it's now late at night.

" Wow! Oh Merlin! Mione how did you know? "

Hermione blushed . Draco hadn't called her that in a very very long time. Since fifth year actually.

Draco opens the magical photo album , memories can be stored inside for you to watch.

" Well Draco , we were friends once upon a time," She smiles , thinking back.

" I would've said we weren't exactly just friends remember Mione ? "

Flashback time
---------------------------------------------------------

Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place and I can picture it after all these days.

---------------------------------------------------------
October, 4th year , Hogwarts.

Draco and Hermione are alone in a corridor.

" Granger ? "

" Yes Malfoy ? "

" Thankyou...um...for defending me in potions..."

" What are friends for ? "

" So we're friends now? "

" Do you want to be ? "

" Definitely! "

---------------------------------------------------------

Day of the Christmas ball , 4th year.

" So Mione, who asked you to the ball then ? "

" Oh um no one yet..." Hermione looks down.

" Really ?! I thought Weasley would, or Potter . "

" Ronald , will be going with Lavender.
Besides , after what he did , I wouldn't have wanted to go with him anyway."

" Of course, well I have to take Pansy unfortunately, father is forcing me , but save me a dance miss Granger ? "
Draco asks jokingly .

" Of course mr Malfoy, I would be delighted! " laughs Hermione.

" So heard the rumors? "

" What rumours Drake ? "

" That Cormac was going to ask you to go to hogsmeade with him. "

"Oh. That. I said no "

" What's wrong with Cormac? "

" Oh um nothing I suppose? I just wasn't interested. "

" Oh. Well are we still of for hogsmeade this weekend then ? "

" Of course! See you then."

" Bye Mione ."

Draco leaves. Hermione sighs to herself.

He's not you Drake. That's what's wrong, she thinks .

Night of the Christmas ball, fifth year .

" How do I look Drake ? "

Hermione twirls round for him in her red dress.

" Gorgeous Mione as always " Draco compliments.

" So I've been thinking, want to go together? "

" Oh Drake. I would but Ron already asked me ."

" Oh. "

" Well I mean it was getting so soon and neither of us had a date. "

It's because you didn't ask me she thinks.

" Well maybe next time then hey ? "
Draco forces a smile.

She'll never love me like I love her,

Draco thinks sadly.
