Hermione's POV:

"Come on Hermione," Draco cooes. He tentatively wraps an arm around my waist and I snuggle closer to him under the warm blankets.

"Hermione!," He laughs. "We need to pack," He reminds me. "We're heading to the Weasley's today!"

I immediately sit up, accidentally throwing Draco's arms off of me. He pouts but I only grin. "MUMMA!" I cry. "I'M COMING HOME!"

I leap out of the bed in my loose hanging t-shirt and shorts. I dance around the room until I reach the wardrobe. I quickly 'accio' three of my largest trunks and begin to pack.

"Thankfully, the wedding things and other dresses were sent to the Manor last night," I sigh. "That would have been so annoying to pack!"

Draco clears his throat. "We'll be uh...getting married over this break." He comes up behind me and places a tender kiss to the back of my neck. His touch sends tingles down my spine, and I feel as if I want to kiss him senseless, until the sun explodes or there is absolutely no time left in the world. I wanted him to be completely...mine.

"I mean, it is the law," I respond, expertly masking my emotions behind a careless facade, but on the inside, I was squealing like a schoolgirl (which, I was, actually....technically.)

He grimaces. "You don't feel...weird about it?"

I shake my head. "Why would I?"

He shrugs. "Because we're more like f-friends?" He stutters a bit on the last word, but my heart sinks.

Friends...he'll only ever think of me as a friend...how could I be so stupid, to let myself fall for...for him! The enemy!

I awkwardly clear my throat. "Right," I say, venom dripping from my voice. "Friends."

I slam my last trunk closed and start towards the door.

"Astoria wants to do something," I inform him. I hear him say something, but I just walk out the door, not wanting to admit the fact that I had allowed myself to feel something for the boy I was due to be married to.
________________________________________________________________________________

I sit next to Ginny on a couch. Harry was to her left, and to my utter disappointment, Draco sat next to me too.

Astoria claps her hands happily. "Let's play a muggle game called 'Never Have I Ever'!"

Harry and I stare at her, absolutely confused about how she knew about the game.

"So...how do we play?" Ginny asks.

"Well," I say, glancing at Astoria. She nods. "Somebody will say 'Never Have I Ever' and then a situation. If you have done it, you say 'I Have'. If you did not, then you say 'I Have Never'."

"Usually people use signs or hand signals to make it quicker," Harry adds.

"We can use one finger for 'I Have' and two for 'I Haven't'," Astoria suggests.

"We'll go in a circle so it's easier to keep track of," Ginny adds.

"I want to go first!" Theo excitedly squeals. Pansy pats his back and he continues, but this time, even more excited.

Draco drapes his arm around my shoulders. I tense. Don't, Hermione! You can't let him get to you!

I tense as Theo begins to speak. "Never have I ever gotten caught by Filch because I was doing a dare!"

I hold up a two proudly, knowing that at least I was a good student.

Luna, Neville and I all hold up two's, but everybody else holds up a one!

"Guys!" I gasp, deeply concerned that literally everybody else had gotten caught!

"What?" Draco sniggers from beside me.

His voice...so deep and smooth and beautiful...SNAP OUT OF IT!

I huff. "Nevermind, continue."

Pansy runs a hand through her hair. "Never have I ever shoplifted."

I hold up a two, and thankfully, as does everybody else.

"Pansy, I don't like following the rules but I don't like breaking them that much!" Blaise laughs from next to Astoria.

We all chuckle.

"Ooh! Me!" Luna cries out. We all turn to her. "Never have I ever..." Luna bites her lip. "...given somebody a black eye!"

I maliciously hold up a one, looking pointedly at Draco. Surprisingly, I was the only one holding up a one!

"'Mione!" Luna gasps. "What happened!"

"He was being a git!" I slap Draco in the face. "Oops!"

Everybody giggles as Draco groans. "Thanks..." He mumbles. I smile to myself.

"I believe I am next," Neville calls from besides Luna. "Never have I ever cheated on my girlfriend, or for the ladies boyfriend."

I hold up a two because I hadn't. Draco, Blaise and Theo all hold up ones.

"Boys!" Lavender scolds them from next to Ron.

"Slytherins don't really do girlfriends," Theo shrugs.

"Mostly shagging partner's," Blaise continues.

I continue to stare pointedly at them, but I assume that I also must look a bit confused.

"Okay then..." I say. I shift uncomfortably under Draco's arm.

What if he cheats on me? How could I ever trust him if he did? I frown to myself. You should have never

"Alright, then..." Lavender clears her throat. "I'll go."

She flips her hair over her shoulder and hits Ron in the face. "Hey!" He complains. She shrugs and he kisses her cheek.

"Never have I ever flashed for something," She smirks smugly to herself, but holds up a two.

Pansy, Ginny and Theo both hold up ones. Harry gasps. "Gin!"

Ginny giggles and 'boop's Harry's nose. "Just nevermind that now, darling."

Harry pouts. "You must tell me later."

"We can compare stories!" Theo jokes. Pansy elbows him in the side, face showing absolutely no emotion.

"Alright Gin, just don't tell mum..." Ron trails off and he, Ginny, Harry and I shudder.

"That wouldn't go over well," I snicker.

"Just...Ron would you go already!" Ginny whines, protectively placing an arm over her stomach.

"Never have I ever had something I ate or drank come out through my nose." Ron holds up a one proudly and we all burst into laughter.

I shamefully hold up a one along with Harry, Lavender, and Neville.

Astoria clicks her teeth. "How unladylike Hermione and Lavender!"

I huff. "Well I'm sorry but-"

"It's not like I wanted to!" Lavender finishes.

Astoria shrugs. "Okay...then my turn!" She taps her chin thoughtfully. "Never have I ever stalked an ex." She holds up a one.

Pansy, Ginny and Luna all hold up ones as well, but the boys and I hold up a one.

"Who's ex!" Astoria demands. "Mine was Draco."

"Harry," Ginny admits.

"Draco as well," Pansy grimaces. "Eugh what was I thinking!"

"Hey, I'm a tad offended-" Draco tries to intervene, but I slap a hand over his mouth.

"Nobody asked." I hiss at him.

The others roar in laughter. "Yeah, sod off, Malfoy!" Ron howls.

Draco frowns at me and I sneer at him. For a second, I see a flash of what looks like hurt in his eyes, but I ignore it, telling myself not to be foolish enough to fall for his fake 'caring' personna.

Blaise interrupts my thoughts. "Never have I ever failed at a prank."

I hold up a one along with Luna, Astoria, Ginny and Ron.

"I'm just surprised that Ginny and Ron failed," Theo tuts. "Your brother is the biggest prankster in the world!"

They just shrug and Ginny pokes Harry. "Your turn!"

He stares into space, thinking about it. Harry finally makes a decision and announces, "Never have I ever been a bully." He smirks and holds up a two.

All the Slytherins except Astoria hold up a one, and the rest of us hold up a two.

"Is anybody really surprised?" Blaise asked, casually leaning back into his chair.

"Nope," Lavender giggles.

Ginny dismissively waves a hand. "Ok, ok, ok, Chosen One. Never have I ever laughed so hard I peed my pants."

Blaise, Ron, Harry and Theo all hold up ones shamefully.

"Not so smug now are you Potter?" Draco growls. I shoot him a glare and for a moment, just a brief moment, I see him soften, but his eyes soon glaze over again, taking on an angry facade.

I giggle, trying to ease the tension between Draco and I. "My turn!" I announce. I shift around and Draco removes his arm from my shoulder.

On the outside, I look completely fine with it and pretend not to notice, but on the inside, I was dying. I wanted to cuddle with him still, but I tightened the muscles in my jaw and pointedly looked away from him, which was easy considering he was next to me.

"Never have I ever pretended to do something to get on somebody's good side." I hold up a two.

Draco, Harry, Lavender, Nevilla, Pansy, and Ginny hold up a one.

I just shrug. "Okay, Malfoy your turn."

Draco frowns when I call him Malfoy, but quickly shakes it off. "Never have I ever fallen in love."

Harry, Ginny, Blaise, Astoria, Luna and Nevilla all hold up ones. Pansy, Theo, Ron and Lavender switch between a two and a one, most likely confused about their relationships.

I hold up a one, but to my complete and utter horror, Draco looks at me in the eye and holds up a one.
