Savin' Me Chapter 1: Draco, a harry potter fanfic

Draco's P.O.V.

"How did I get this desperate? What the hell happened to me?" I thought to myself. The only answers that made sense to me where love and desperation. Love for one Hermione Granger and desperation because I loved her. Yes, I, the Slytherin Prince, was in love with the Gryffindor Princess.

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you

She knew too. That's what was killing me. She knew I loved her and she just walked away from me. And, I hate to admit it, but I needed her. I still need her.

Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you

And with my broken, heavy heart, I walked up here to the highest tower at Hogwarts. I couldn't pretend anymore. I couldn't pretend that I hated her. That I never loved her. All of my lies and the hurt I caused was slowly killing me. And, when she rejected me, it sped up the process. Why even fight a losing battle? And, in those few minutes after she broke my heart, I decided to end it all.

I climbed on top of the stone ledge and looked down. It had to be at least a 70 ft. fall. That was good. Maybe I'd be dead before I hit the ground. No, I wasn't going to chicken out and Avada myself. I wanted to feel again. I was always so numb. The only time I felt anything was when Hermione slapped me in 3rd year. Funny how life is. The only time I'd ever felt anything was connected to her and here I was, about to do it again.

It was time. I was ready to end my miserable life. I took a deep breath and looked down one final time. I looked up when I heard the door to the tower open. Crap, I thought I locked it. I turned around to see who the intruder was and to my shock, it was my beautiful Hermione. She was staring at me with a look of shock on her face but, also there was a look of… fear too.

"Draco, get down from there now!" she called out in a shaky voice. Why does she sound afraid? I wondered in my head.

"Hermione." I said before I took a step backwards. One more step, and I'd be free forever.

"Draco, don't! Come down." She said taking a step toward me, extending her hand to me.

But, she was honestly too late to save me. I'd made my decision. I looked at her beautiful face one last time before taking my final step of the ledge. As I started my descent, I saw her run to the ledge and scream.

"Hermione!" I screamed then closed my eyes and let the darkness take me along with it.

Come please I'm callin'
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

I opened my eyes when I saw a bright, white light behind my eyelids. Was I in heaven? Wait, heaven would never let me in. I doubt even hell would. Besides, if it was heaven, it looked like the Hospital Wing back at Hogwarts. And, God looked an awful lot like Madame Pomfrey.

"God?" I asked in a raspy voice. I felt like crap. My head hurt like hell and so did my body. I thought you were supposed to feel good in heaven.

"Oh, Mr. Malfoy. I'm glad to see you're awake. You had a nasty fall and managed to hit your head. You're lucky Ms. Granger was able to heal you enough so you could live till she got you here." Madame Pomfrey said while checking my head. So, wait, I was alive and Hermione saved me?

"Can I see her? To, you know, thank her? Please?" I asked. Please let Madame P. be in a good mood for once.

"Well, I guess I can. But, just this once. Let me get her." Madame P. said already walking away to get my savior.

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh, I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Not, five minutes later, I heard light footsteps approach my bedside before I was attacked by a mass of bushy brown hair crushing me with a hug. It kind of hurt, but I wasn't going to complain. Not when it was my Hermione.

"Hermione." I whispered to get her attention. She lifted her head off my chest and I was surprised to see her eyes were puffy and red. She looked she'd been crying non-stop for a few days.

"Draco." She sniffled. "I was so worried. I thought you were going to die."

"Why do you even care? You don't even like me." I said. I didn't sound so cold, but it was the truth.

"You're right. I don't like you. I love you." She whispered.

"What? No, you don't or you would've said something when I told you I loved you." I replied. She couldn't love me, right?

"I was scared. I thought it was a joke. Draco, I've loved you since first year. Please, believe me." She said while looking down.

"A joke?!?! Hermione, I'd never joke about loving you." I said while lifting her head so that she would look at me.

"Really?" she whispered, still not fully believing me.

"I'll prove it to you." I whispered while bringing her face close to mine. Her breath hitched, and I smirked before touching her lips to mine.

And all I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me
Hurry I'm fallin'

And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me.
