Dramione-Star crossed lovers.
I.
It was another rainy day at Hogwarts. It seemed like the sun never rose at Hogwarts since Dumbledore's death. Now with Severus Snape as Headmaster the castle was immersed in a grey color. No light,no wormth, everything was dark and were tortured for any simple thing that was against the rules,the defence against the dark arts class became torture class for the first years and the students in Carrow brothers were responsible with the punishments,and they mostly punished Gryffindor students. Hogwarts had sunk in darkness and depression.
Draco was in his last year at Hogwarts, and could not belive his eyes when he realized what had happened to the idea of Hogwarts. Dumbledore always said "At Hogwarts help will be given to those who ask for it" but now Draco was wondering how true that was. As he was having dinner with his house-mates he gazed over at the Gryffindor table. There weren't many Gryffindors muggle borns have not returned to scool out of fear that the Dark Lord could kill them. The one house who still had all its students was of course Slytherin. The rest of them, well , the tables were depressingly empty this year. As Draco was starrying at the Gryffindor's table,he's eyes fell on the seat that Hermione usually stood. Without him wanting it his mind flew to their first encounter in the second year in the bookshop. The day when he saw her for real,the first time he saw everything he wanted in next episode was in third year,when Hermione saved him from Buckbeak after he became insanely gealous at Harry for impressing everyone by flying with rememberd how Hermione visited him in the hospital wing,how worried she was for him. Slowly he wnet over their love story, every episode: 3rd year, the dinner in Hogsmeade,that romantic night in the Room of Requierment, the Yule Ball and so he slowly got to fifth year remembering how the broke up. It was his own fault, he's father madde him take the side of Dolores Umbridge and help her make Hogwarts a living hell. He tried his best to keep their relationship alive,but as long as he had to turn in every use of magic Hermione decided she could date someone who thought that using magic was bad.
She broke his heart,but at least she still stud by him. Everytime he needed support or advice he could count on her. Even that night in the astronomy tower, when he couldn't complete he's task and Snape finally killed Dumbledore, he ran to her and she did not judge,she just held him tight in her arms and tried to calm him was the only one who knew. She knew that he didn't ask for any of this,she knew he was obligated to do Voldemort's bitting for the sake of his family. But now, she was gone.
Hermione left Hogwarts last year and never returned. She told him she had to help Harry and Ron with a secret task. The two boys were very important to her, they became a part of her and they never appreciated her to her true value. They had a big roll to play here at Hogwarts,now that Hermione is gone and Potter as well people fell in sadness and are at Snape's mercy he thought to himself.
One of Draco's closest friends, Blaise Zabini was sitting next to him and noticed him starrying at the Gryffindor's table.
-Draco, starrying ain't bringing her back.
-I know Blaise. He replied annoyed
-Aren't you going to eat something?It's been a few days since you last ate something else then Firewshikey.
-I'm not hungry. Oh,and Blaise I'm sorry to be so emotional around you.
-Don't worry about it mate. Let's face it,me and Theo are the only Slytherins smart enough to have figured out what actually happened to you 2 years ago.
-Well I'm still sorry to be such a sap though. I'm going to bed.
Draco was still Head Boy and because the Head Girl went missing Ginny Weasly took her place thanks to Mcgonagall. Draco was heading to the Head dorm at the sixth floor when he bumped into Romilda Vane.
-Hello Draco,she addressed him with the sexiest smile she could put up.
He didn't even bother to answer and walked right passed her. He enterd the common room where he saw a disguting scene. Ginny was on the couch with Dean Thomas, apparently heading to second base.
-Weasly could you take your conquests to your bedroom and not infect my eyes and our common room with..oh well,this?
Although he loved Hermione more then anything he didn't feel obligated to be friends with all the Gryffindor's. She had no right to sit there and make out, she had no right to sit where once Draco and Hermione sat and learned for Transfiguration exam at the end of fifth year. Mad as he was, he enterd his bedroom and jumped on his bed faced down into his pillow. He started counting the days and he realised that tomorrow he's be hedding home for his meeting with the Death Eaters.
Now that Snape was Headmaster Draco didn't have to make up stupid excuses to get out of the scool,especially when it came to the Dark Lord. Thinking about the next day and a few possibilities to get out of it he fell asleep, and dreamed about him being with Hermione somewhere,alone and only carrying about the rain ruining their day.
Hermione was staking out in front of their tent,reading. Ron was heavly asleep as she could hear him snoaring,but Harry came out and sat down next to her.
-What are you reading?
-Just Rita Sketter's book.
-About Dumbledore?
-Yes.
-Do you belive any of it?
-No! Harry you shouldn't either. Dumbledore loved you and whatever people are saying to insult his him for who he was,the man who was always looking out for you and loving and carrying for you.
-But he kept secrets from me.
-So did you,Harry. She answerd smiling.
Hermione moved her eyes to the horizont and her smile faided. Harry of course noticed.
-Miss him?
-Harry.. don't. she said as her eyes started filling up with tears.
-It doesn't help if you isolate yourself from us. Hermione,we love you,even Ron loves and wants to help you,but he has a strange way of showing it.
They both started laughing.
-Well,Harry I know you think that he's a vile,cruel and evil but there's more to him then that. He didn't ask for it you know..? He only did what Voldemort asked him to protect his is truly the only one who stud by him all the time. Unlike his father..
-Hermione,it doesn't matter what I think, if you love him. I love you and I will stand by you and support all you decide even if I think it's a mistake.
-Thank you, Harry. Oh,and congratulations!
-On what?
-You destroyed a Horcrux!
-Well thanks,but it's Ron's achievement.
-It's on you both.
-Hermione you should get some were heading to Lovegood and we'll need you to be ship-shape. Said Harry with a smile.
Hermione hugged him briefly and went inside
The next morning,as Hermione was packing up the tent,the boys were having a whisperd talk.
-Ron,it would help her a lot if you would just take interest if she was ok and well..her and Malfoy
-Bloddy hell Harry,your asking me to talk to her about Malfoy? I never approved of them dating.
-Yes I know Ron,but here she doesn't have her mom or Ginny,she's alone. So I need you to be more supportive,show her that you really care for her.
-I do, but she broke my heart and Harry let's face it mate,she clearly doesn't like me. She punced me right in the face in 4th year at the tri-wizard tournament.
-We both know that was your fault Ron.
Ron noded but he clearly wasn't pleased with that answer.
-Go on,talk to her. Said Harry pushing him while they were walking back to Hermione.
She was done packing everything and was now looking at them with her specific look like "can you for once be punctual".They joined her and disapierd.
They appeard on hill near Ronald's was looking nostalgic at his house and saw his Father leaving for work. Of course he didn't see them,they were far enough.
As they went uphill to Luna's house,Harry was walking behind offering the two some privacy so they could talk.
-So..how are you?asked Ron sneeking a peek at her.
-Quite fine,thank you.
-Do you..I don't know..miss him?DO you think about him a lot? Cause I heard that if you think intensly enough about someone you actually can enter their dreams.
-Oh Ron, laughed Hermione., you don't need to do this.I know you love me,and that you have an odd why of showing it.
-No really,I want us to talk about anything..everything.C'mon,you know you can tell me anything.
-Well,ok. Yes I miss him,before anything I miss him as my had all these long inspiring talks and ..never mind. I think of him anytime I see or hear something that reminds me of ..well,us.
Ron didn't just walked beside her quietly.
-Still think that you can take this?
But before he could answer,they reached Luna Lovegood's house.
Harry caught up with them and he was the one who had to knock at the door. The door opend a little and mr. Lovegood eyes popped in the opening.
-Yes,who can I help you?
-Sir,I'm Harry Potter..
Before Harry could continue the door was shut in his turned to Hermione and just as he was about to say something to her he heard a metallic cling and then another one and another one and then finally the door opend. Mr. Lovegood was looking perfectly horrible. He had wrinkles under his eyes,his hear was nearly all gone and he looked like he was crying for ages without three never saw him in this state.
-Merlin's beard..it really is you! Said Lovegood while his face lit up. Come in,come in.
They enterd the messy house.
-So,where's Luna?asked Ron looking around.
-Oh..Luna..she's aaa..catching some breakfast said she won't be long. Sit down, I get you anything?Tea ,Coffee?
-Tea would be just fine,thank you. Answered Hermione smiling.
As Lovegood was making his tea they all went up staires to see Luna's room. But it seemed like nobody was in there for a long time. The bed wasn't slept in and there was dust all over. Harry threw the other two a suspicious look and then they all came down.
As they drank their tea,Hermione explained why they were there,and what they were searching for,only to find out about the deathly hallows wouldn't have believed it if Harry hadn't had one of them,the third hallow: cloack of invisibility. As they wanted to leave they were in for a surprise: mr Lovegood had called in the death eaters to turn Harry and the other two in for his daughter in exchange. But before the Death Eaters arrived the three friends managed to ruin Lovegood's house and run away.
They landed on a cold wet ground in a forest,but couldn't hang out for long because they heard unfriendly voices coming after they caught up to them Hermione hexed Harry so that his face swallowed up and he didn't look like Harry course the snatchers caught them and were arguing amongst their selfes about taking them to the Dark Lord. In stead,they agreed to take them to the Malfoy Manor so that Bellatrix will exmine them.
Hermione's heart started ponding when she heard the name Malfoy. Her heart pounded with joy and also fear, although she missed Draco he would not be able to save them without putting his mother and himself in the person she most feared was now Bellatrix,she was able to recognize Harry only by being with her and Ron.
The Gryffindor sword was taken from them and they all knew it was the original one, and they feared that without it the Horcruxes they will find couldn't be destroyied. All they could do now was wait.
