Brothers Till The End

Chapter 1

The Potter twins were practically inseparable it had been that way sense they were born. They were best friends and brothers and they even had one of the same best friends, Hermione Granger. Harry had one friend that he did not share with his older brother Draco, Ron Weasley. Harry and Ron had been friends sense 1st year and it had been the same way with Hermione as well. Up until fifth year things were pretty normal or as normal as it can get being a wizard. Then Draco got a huge crush on Hermione but refused to tell her fearing it would ruin their friendship so he kept it hidden. Know they were boarding the train for there seventh and final year at Hogwarts. After a tearful good bye from Lilly and a behave lecture from James they went to go look for a compartment to sit in then found Ron sitting by himself

"Hermione was made Head Girl so she had to go to the head carriage you better get going or you'll be late Draco." Ron said

"Yeah thanks a lot see you two later." Draco said with a wave and a smile he headed off to go find Hermione.

The head carriage was extremely cramped, but it was only for a little while then they would go and sit with Ron and Harry. Draco was hardly paying attention because he was admiring how beautiful Hermione was it seemed that she had gotten even more gorgeous over the summer. The way the sun danced over her golden-brown hair made him want to run his hands threw it. If only he could tell her how much he loved her.

"Draco are you ready to go to sit with Harry and Ron?" Hermione asked

"Yeah, sure lets go." He smiled as she turned to walk away he wished that they could sit alone just the two of them and talk.

The food trolley had already come, and both of the boys had bought the entire cart by the looks of the compartment. Though it was no shock sense the one thing that was on Ron's mind the majority of the time was his stomach.

"Did you get enough food?" Hermione teased him

"No I think we need more I'm still hungry." He said his mouth half full

"Do you ever think of any thing besides food?" she snapped their relationship was a constant fight.

The twins just looked at each other with raised eyebrows. They couldn't figure out why Ron and Hermione were such good friends but fought like rival siblings. It was one thing that Harry and Draco could figure out and didn't want to risk loosing their heads over asking.

"Why do you two always have to fight over some thing? Why can't you just get a long like normal friends?" The twins asked in unison.

"It's his fault." Hermione whined "he's always being such an idiot."

"No way it's your fault. You always have to be right about ever thing."

"No I don't. It's just a coincidence that when we're fighting I'm the one who ends up right."

"No you just won't give up till you win. If you get a B+ on a test you throw a fit about and then go retake it till it's an A+ you always do this."

"Do what?"

"Act like a little miss perfect! You're such a know it all!" At that remark Hermione ran out of the compartment in tears.

"Know look what you've done!" Draco yelled at Ron before taking off after her.

"What's gotten into him?" Ron asked wide eyed

"Cant you tell? He totally loves her." Harry said with a small smile trying to push its way onto his lips.

"Oh. Why doesn't he tell her?"

"Man are you dense mate. He's scared of ruining their friendship."

Draco had finally caught up with her in the only empty compartment left. Her eyes were red from crying.

"Why does he always do this?" She sobbed "Why does he always manage to insult me enough to make me cry?"

"It's Ron he's an idiot." He tried to calm her down. "He doesn't mean to hurt you he just doesn't know when to shut his big mouth."

"I know. I don't know why I let him get to me."

"I know. He gets under my skin to. But hey that's just Ron he gets under every one's skin even Harry's." She laughed at this "Yes I got you to smile. Ha I did it I made you laugh and smile."

She threw her arms around him and gave him a huge hug. This made him want to tell her even more but part of him would not let it slip over his lips. Now was not the time to spill his deepest secrets that he had kept hidden from her sense first year. His brother and Ron only knew that he liked her sense fifth and it was going to stay that way.

"You are so sweet and such a good friend. We'll be friends forever." Hermione whispered in his ear

"I'll never leave you. I promise." Was all that he could whisper in her ear. Because it felt as if his heart was breaking into a million peaces.

"We had better get back. The boys are probably wondering what happened to us." She said in a hushed whisper.

He held her in his arms on the way back to the compartment that Ron and Harry were in. Ron looked very sullen and apologized for hurting Hermione's feelings.

"So you both were made heads?" Ron asked

"Yeah I know it's wired normally the heads are from two separate houses but this year their both from Griffindor." Hermione said sounding very confused.

"I wonder why Dumbledore didn't pick some one from another house." Harry wondered aloud.

"Well we'll find out to night after dinner. He has to tell us where we're supposed to sleep and what hall ways we're supposed to patrol. So we can ask him then." Draco stated, though it was obvious to every one but Ron, who thought it was a brilliant plan.

Harry pulled Draco out of the compartment and down the hall giving him a 'we need to talk' look.

"When are you going to tell Hermione that you love her?" He asked he had become very irritated with his brother.

"I don't know I don't want to ruin our friendship but it's killing to be near her and not have her. To watch her talk and not kiss her. To hug her and have to let go when I want to keep her forever." Draco said with a dreamy stare on his face. "What am I supposed to do Harry I love her more than life it's self. How can I live ever day being with her but not being able to call her mine."

The twins were so involved in their conversation that they didn't notice that Hermione had heard every word when she had gone to ask them if they knew how long it would be before they would reach the school. After hearing this much she ran back to Ron her heart soaring.

"What happened to you?" He asked

"I just heard Draco say that he loved me isn't great Ronald."

"Yeah except that he won't say any thin' about it. You know he doesn't want to ruin your friendship."

"Then I'll tell him that I love him and he'll say he loves me two."

"Hold on a sec. YOU LOVE HIM! Why haven't you said this before?"

"Ron keep it down he'll hear you."

"I thought you were gonna tell him how you felt."

"I will when the time is right." Was all she could say before the boys walked in.
