I couldn't wait until this war was over, then I could find Draco and tell him how I really feel. Prejudices aside, I would be able to talk to him. He saved my life, so that would be the perfect excuse to talk to him. I heard a cry of a pheonix in the near distance, looking into the sky, I saw light.
No dark mark, and that signaled that the war was over.
"Gather into the Great Hall please." a voice called out through the sky, through the free sky. I felt burden raise itself off of my shoulders, a new start. I ran through the crown, searching for the beautiful head of platinum blonde hair, but had no luck.
My heart dropped. What if he had died? I shrugged that off, trying to keep positive as I looked into the beautiful, yet haunting night sky. When I was in the Great Hall, I sat in one of the many little stools, waiting for someone to talk.
A short lady walked up to the podium, which was undamaged, and put her wand to her throat.
"Sonorus. Hello all, I would like to congratulate the light side on winning the war." she said, and a great applause erupted. The crowd was wild, just as the witch began talking again.
"The Ministry of Magic is issuing a marriage law for all people who are not married but are over the age of sixteen. I will call out the name of the pair, and you will then have your spouse." The hall was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. A tear rolled down my cheek. I would never get to tell Draco how I felt.
" Mr. Harry Potter will be paired with Miss Lavender Brown. Miss Luna Lovegood, and Mr. Blaise Zabini. Mr. Draco Malfoy and" at this point my breath was caught in my throat.
"Miss Pansy Parkinson." I began sobbing and I put my head in my hands, a lot of other names were called out and finally I heard mine.
"Miss Hermione Granger nd Mr. Ronald Weasley." I was sobbing even more at this point and Luna had her arm around me. Ron begun walking towards me and he pulled me into a tight hug, and I couldn't help but to push him away and run. Just run until my lungs would collapse. I fell and sat in a ball until I heard approaching footsteps.
"Granger, what in the name of merlin was that for?" I heard the most beautiful voice in the world. I got up and hugged him.
"Draco, I love you, I was going to tell you but t-then...the law." I sobbed into his chest. He was just standing there taking in the situation. Why was his enemy hugging him?
"Granger, I love you too, but we were both paired with different people, not each other. It would be best if we just forgot about each other." he said. she stared at him like he was going crazy.
"W-what?" she stuttered.
"Get away from me mudblood, and don't ever come back." he spat, and walked away from her. She ran and grabbed his shoulder.
"I thought you loved me too." she said, making it sound like a question.
"I lied," he said, walking away. She cried, and cried until her eyes were red and puffy, and she was out of breath. Everything went black.
