Flashback
"I don't love you." The words stung her, there were no physical pain but the emotional damage was there.
"No, it's not true. It can't be true. YOU'RE LYING!" She screamed with all her might, hoping that this is just a bad dream. "What about all those times that we shared? I thought we had something together."
We did Hermione, and its still here. I'm sorry I had to do this to you but I just can't see you get hurt. "I'm sorry"
"Don't say you're sorry. You promised not to ever say sorry."
"This will be the last time, I promise."
With that, he turned and ran off, leaving her there all alone. I promised I'll come back one day, he thought to himself.
"You said you would never turn away," she cried to herself. "Why are you doing this?" She screamed into the night sky but all she got in reply was her own cries of despair.
End of Flashback
I'm sorry Hermione. I know I shouldn't have done that but if I didn't, you would have definitely died that day. Now that I'm free, I'm coming back to you to fulfill my promise. Wait for me Hermione, I'll make it. If I could reach the clearing, I could apparate to the burrow, I know you'll be there. He struggled to make his way out of the forest, he did not have much time, he was losing too much blood and soon they will track him down. He only has a few minutes left. I'm going to make it, he thought to himself. Just as he was about to apparate, something made him freeze.
"Going somewhere Draco?" He felt his heart stopped for a few seconds. "I always thought you will make my just a little proud but you proved me wrong. You are a disgrace to me. How dare you betray the dark lord when he has presented you with such a honor and I thought that to become a deatheater was always what you hoped for."
"No! That was what you hoped for me. I have found the meaning to my life and it doesn't include being a deatheater. Father, I hope you understand."
"I am ashamed to have you as a son. You have gone weak, however, I can forgive you as it was a just a stupid mistake on you part and you will come to your senses now so you can go back to serving to dark lord, I can help you to redeem yourself. Come with me NOW!"
"NO! I'm not going with you father."
"Then you leave me with no choice."
A tight squeezing sensation
A flash of green light
A scream of pain
A howl of rage
A broken promise
A soft thump could be heard from the burrow. Outside, a person lies there. He looked like he was sleeping if it wasn't for the pale sickly colour from the skin that betrayed this all, telling that he was dead. A note was sticking out of his pocket, a note addressed to his beloved.
Dear Hermione,
If you are reading this that means I have left you. I betrayed that dark lord to come back to you my love. I'm sorry that I had to once again break my promise. I promised to not ever say sorry, but here I am saying it again. We had only been together for a few months but that doesn't mean that I don't love you a lot, in fact I love you more every single day. To me, you will not the bookworm with the bushy hair, but the girl who cared to give Draco Malfoy a second look, a second chance and the one who is willing to understand who was behind those strong covers. You are all that I can ever ask for, the best thing that has walked into my life. I will always love you no matter where I am.
Yours eternally,
Draco
