Hermione POV

I walked to the astronomy tower dressed in only a silk night gown. I was going to meet Draco there tonight.. Me and Draco have had a secrete relationship since the war ended and everyone came back to Hogwarts to repeat the seventh year. Of course everybody expected me to end up with Ron but I can't deny the love that I feel for Draco so I only pretend to like Ron. I know that may seem really harsh but I have my reasons. I mean I do like Ron but I LOVE Draco.

I smiled as I heard the shuffling of feet behind the door to the tower. I walked in to see Draco. Something was wrong though I could see it in his eyes when they met mine. I looked questioningly at him and walked towards him. He grabbed hold of my hands and took me into a hug. He held on to me for what seemed like an eternity. It really started to worry me.

"Draco" I started until he cut me off.

"Hermione, love I need to tell you something"

"Draco" I started again until once again he cut me off

"Sit down love this is going to be hard." he said sadly

'Draco love your scaring me" I finally said

"Hermione I love you, I love you so much as hard as it is to believe. There is nothing more I'd rather do then spend my whole life with you and have smart and arrogant blonde and brunette haired babies. I want to grow old with you and die by your side… but we can't be together any longer.. My father will forbid it and we cant do this because in the end something could happen to you and I love you too much to let that happen. So go and be with Weasley like everyone expects you to do. Just go and move on with your life."

"Draco no I cant, I love you.." I said

"Just go Hermione!" Draco yelled tears brimming his eyes

"Draco my voice cracked I love you I said suddenly angry I love you Draco you cant leave me I wont let you!"

He finally yelled at me… "Hermione just go I wont let you throw your life away on me I never want you to think of me." His voice finally quieted to a whisper "leave Hermione just go you stupid mud-blood."

Draco POV

I knew he did it. I hurt her so badly that she would leave. I didn't want to of course.. But it was for her own safety my father would've killed her before he ever let us be. I had to hurt her so she could let me go.

I knew tears were flowing freely down my face but I didn't care. I heard her feet shuffle across and the door opened before it closed he heard her whisper "I love you Draco", and then the dull thud of the door closing behind her.

I couldn't contain my sadness I fell to the ground of the astronomy tower and screamed out into the night. I silently vowed to let her go, let the love of my life go ant not interfere any longer. It will only hurt us more…..

Hermione POV

I ran all the way down the stairs from the astronomy tower with tears blurring my vision. I didn't stop running until I got to my dorm. I swallowed my tears and told myself I wouldn't ever cry one tear for Draco Malfoy. I would never let anyone see the hurt he caused me, I wont ever let anyone see me cry…

*the next morning*

I woke up feeling the events from last night wash over me. I showered and dressed in a dark blue jean skirt and a blood red tank top with my black converse. Seeing as it was a Saturday so there were no classes. I just put on some mascara, eyeliner, and clear lip gloss. I looked myself over and decided you couldn't see my distress.

I walked down to breakfast by myself decided Harry and Ron were probably there already. I took a breath and walked into the great hall and smiled when I saw Harry and Ron. I gave Harry a kiss on the cheek and told him good morning. Then went to Ron and gave him a peak on the lips then told him good morning as well.

We chattered aimlessly then decided to go and sit below a oak tress and enjoy each others company. I hid the hurting and longing my voice fairly easily. It was all going smoothly until dinner that night…..
