i'm too shy

to tell you

how i feel


so i'll hide behind

timid smiles and

soft hellos


i'm afraid

if i ask you

"what do you think 

of me?"

your reply will be


                                                                                                                                                                                "i don't."

                                                                                                                                                                                             m.k.

A few days had passed since Hermione and Dracos argument turned deep conversation. They had called everyone together. 

Hermione stood hands clasped behind her back saying 'Well, Draco and I have an announcement to make.'

'You're pregnant,' Ginny exclaimed.

Hermione stood shocked for a moment before saying 'No, no, no. It's something else.'

Draco stood up next to Hermione. They exchanged a brief glance before quietly announcing 'We're engaged.' The room sat in silence for a long moment before Pansy and Harry high-fived and yelled, 'We knew it!'

'Oh and while we're all here, I also have some news,' Pansy said settling herself back down. 'Since my designated partner has... died. The Ministry has decided to just let me not get married.'

'That's great Pansy. You must be happy, not being forced to get married,' Daphene said with a warm smile. Now, all the Slytherins knew that the resident 'Ice Queen' of the school never gave warm smiles. Not even to her best friends. Draco and Blaise knew, from experience, that she was forming a plan. Quite a mischievous one at that, apparently. 

Ginny stood up and asked Hermione, Luna, and Pansy to come with her outside. 

"Hello, girls," Rowena Ravenclaw. 

"Hello, Professor," the girl's chorused together.   

"Having an eventful day I suppose?"

"Of sorts. Interesting but quite eventful,"Luna replied dreamily. 

"I don't mean to be rude professor but we have to go," Ginny said hurriedly. 

"Oh, why yes of course. I wouldn't want to keep you waiting. Have a nice day. Goodbye girls!" Rowena called. 

"Goodbye, professor!"

Salazar Slytherin slipped into the Rowena's portrait, "Are they gone?" 

"Yes, dear. You can come out now,"

I'm so so so so so so so sorry that it's been so long. I didn't mean for the wait to be this long but I just so busy with school picking up again that I couldn't find time. Then of course I wrote almost an entire chapter in the notes app cause I didn't have WiFi and then it deleted. But I sort of finished it, I left it in a bad spot but it reveals some cool things. I'll try my hardest to update more regularly now that I'm back in the swing of things. 

And in the time I took a break, Y'all got me to 3.7K reads!?!?! That's insane and I want you all to know that I love you just for taking the time to read this story and get it where it is! It's amazing, thank you soooooo much.
