I am so excited to know how you all are liking it, so do leave a review. It really makes my day.
She ran the whole path towards the astronomy tower. Her wild curls created, a halo around her face as if they possessed a life of their own. She found out nothing, over the beating of her own footsteps against the odd steps. Her blood rushed over her ears. All she could discover was her own labored breathing.
In. Out. In. Out. And nothing.
It was not supposed to ache, not so much.
And the brave lioness was scared, frightened out of her head, unlike the Gryffindor she was.
She rounded up the corner of the astronomy tower her footsteps slowing down a bit, but her heart beats didn't.
She looked upwards and found him standing near the ledge, looking beyond the forbidden woods, toward the horizon where faint red streaks had broken away. With a promise for a brighter morning, but she didn't feel any sort of hope in her heart. His head was bowed and the last shine of the moonlight gleamed off his platinum blond hair, making him look like an angel.
But the world below them, saw him nothing more than as a devil, that he was.
"You shouldn't be here, " he stated in a lifeless voice. The voice that turned her insides to the flames of passion once now turned into ice.
"Please don't do this," She said barely above a whisper, afraid that the night will sweep it before it even reached his ears. But he heard her alright.
"You know I have no choice, " said he.
"Everyone has a choice. We will ask for help, please don't give up on us, and please don't give up on me."
"I HAVE NO CHOICE DAMN-IT!" His voice echoed through the empty astronomy tower.
She could sense his anguish in waves, dashing into her.
"Please look at me," She begged.
The blond haired boy turned back, to face her.
And there it was, the finality in his stance, the storm brewing in his eyes and she felt in her bones that it was the end… that this was it.
A heartbreaking wail broke free from her lips and she stumbled a couple of steps back.
"You can't do this to me, you can't. Are you going to throw away all that we had, no all that we still have? Tell me are you going to throw it all away. Well, I won't let you, I will fight you even if I have to."
He took a tentative step towards her. A set of cinnamon brown eyes bore into a pair of metallic gray ones. His beautiful face broke in a ghost of a smile as if it amused him somehow.
"Always my brave lioness."
But then, a look of pure torture marred his face.
"Do you know what you do to me? Every time we touched, every time we kissed, it felt as if I was soaring above and I felt… I felt as if I could conquer the world as if there will be no darkness tomorrow. I, a death eater felt something at that barren spot, that you called a heart. But I can't do this anymore. I won't do this anymore, not to you, " he said, taking a ragged breath.
"Well, it's not just your decision to make, it's my life too, and you are my life. Don't do this."
"Do you know, what they will do to you when they know about us? I am good at hiding my mind, but the Dark Lord, he is better at reading it and he isn't forgiving. And it would kill me if something happened to you."
"But what if we make it to the end… what if we defeat him?"
"But that's just it, love. They are what ifs."
"I have all my faith in you, you know that right? We will overcome this. We have come through so much don't back out now."
"Forever an optimist aren't you, Gryffindor to the core" he stated.
The pale boy's face then morphed into a soft touch of utter determination.
"But know this, my love, if we make out of this war, I am coming for you. I am going to make you fall in love with me again, because sweetheart, we are meant to be together. Always."
The pale boy raised his wand into her face.
Another sob escaped her lips. And there was no fear in those brown eyes, just a look of steely determination. If he could put his heart on the line, then the least she could do, was the same. She didn't fully understand his reasons. But if she couldn't stand beside him in the war, then she very well, could be the strength behind him.
She allowed all the courage and love she had for that boy, to fill each and every cell of her body.
"Well then make sure you woo me alright the next time," she said.
Silent tears rolled down her flawless cheeks.
"I have to do this Hermione. I have to protect you. I LOVE YOU. "
At that time, Hermione felt as if, the cruciatus curse would hurt less than this. She poured all her heart into the next line because she knew that it was something, that both of them had to do.
"I LOVE YOU TOO, DRACO."
His face looked as if a hundred knives stabbed into him, as a lone tear escaped from his eyes, he uttered the spell.
"OBLIVIATE!"
A look of vacant expression played into those eyes as the spell hit her square in the chest.
The brown haired girl fell into a heap on the floor.
And there on the rough stone floor of the Astronomy tower, at the faint beginning of dawn a story ended. Draco Malfoy scooped Hermione Granger into his arms, like a delicate flower that she was and kissed her soft lips probably for the last time.
"I love you more than my life, my lioness. Never forget that." He whispered hoarsely.
And as his heart broke into million little pieces, a brutal cry reverberated through the walls of the castle of Hogwarts.
