Hey guys. So this is a competition thing for my favourite author on fan fiction, The Harry Potter Geek. Not sure whether to make it a one shot or keep going with it. If it is a long fic, then this will be the prologue. Enjoy!
They stood, holding each other, foreheads touching as they cried. Their tears intermingled as she ran held onto tufts of his platinum blonde hair and he held her cheeks.
"I have to go. You know it's the only way. Dumbledore has to die if Harry is going to beat the dark lord"
She nodded through her tears and kissed him, "Promise me. When all this is over you will find me. And we can be together"
"I promise" he replied. He released her face and dug into his pockets. He pulled out at golden locket, a D and H intertwined on the heart shaped face. He pried it open and there was a picture of them inside it. They were standing as they were now, foreheads touching, but with no tears. They were laughing with the freedom of their love.
A sob escape her throats as her placed it around her neck, "Open it, and tap it three times with your wand. An owl will come and you give it a letter, and it will come to me" he said, turning her around and holding her cheeks. She nodded. She couldn't speak. She didn't know when she would see him again, but she knew she would fight for it. He wiped away her tears as did she to his.
"I promise we will be together. When you-know-who is dead, when this war is over, I will find you"
The clock chimed with the new hour. It seemed to laugh at them, gloat. He has to go now. Tick tock. Tick tock. Another sob escaped her throat, and she pulled him closer to her. He kissed her tears away before touching down on her lips. Fresh tears fell. She knew this would be the last kiss they shared until the damn war was over.
She closed her eyes and he began to pull away from her. This time the sob came from his throat. He drew further away, holding her outstretched. Further. He released her hand.
"I love you, so much" she called, "You can do this"
He nodded and smirked slightly, "I love you more." And then he was gone.
She threw herself against the wall, sobbing uncontrollably. She slumped there, breathing heavily. She held the necklace around her throat, and let the memories flood into her mind like the tears did on her face. The lazy afternoons where they would lie in the grass together. The stolen kisses in the room of requirement, and the secret letters they sent when they wanted to meet. She couldn't stand the thought of being without him. She couldn't live without him.
Hermione Granger could not live without Draco Malfoy.
So, one shot, or do you want more? Let me know and please review!
