In love with a memory
Hermione swore she would always love Draco. But he changed, now brutal and ruthless, she still stands by him. Why you ask, because she love the Draco she knew. Because deep down, she knows the Draco she knows is still there, hidden from the world, but there. And for that sole reason only, she would stand by him forever.
" Get up woman!" Draco shouted at Hermione as he smacked her hard on the cheek. Hermione blinked back tears.
" Of course Draco." Hermione said picking herself up from the ground. Julie a nursing house elf rushed in.
" Oh no! Mister is hurting Misses! Mister should no hurt misses! Misses 'es pregnant. Oh no bad bad!" Julie said shaking her floppy ears. Hermione sucked in her breath.
" Hush Julie, hush girl!" Hermione whispered urgently to Julie who was blabbing on and on, not realizing Draco was standing in the shadows like a ghost dark and mysterious.
" Shut UP Elf!" his booming voice came from the shadows. Julie's face went white.
" Oh…. Oh, Julie is meaning no harm! NO harm Master!" Julie said tears running down her face. Draco gave Julie a disgusted look.
" OH Draco, she meant no harm. There is truly no reason to harm her!" Hermione argued to her husband.
" She defied me, that is reason enough." Draco said sternly
" Honestly Hermione, what has gotten into you? Befriending utterly disgusting animals, servants even!" Draco told Hermione.
" Draco please," Hermione begged. Draco looked and her and huffed.
" Avada Kedavra." Draco said pointing his wand at Julie emotionlessly. Hermione gasped. Draco smirked and blew smoke off the top of his wand.
" I'd be careful if I were you Hermione, I would hate for you to have a fate like her's, after all you are with child, and I do need an heir don't I?" Draco said twirling his wand and smirking at her.
" Of course Draco…" Hermione.
" Good, I will be going know, I have a meeting with Voldemort, do NOT leave your room for any reason at all. IF you need something call a bloody house elf" Draco said walking out the door and slamming it behind him
1 Hermione POV
Hello, my name's Hermione. You all know me as the goody 2 shoes that hangs out with the famous Harry Potter and his sidekick Ron Weasley. Now you're probably wondering why the heck would I be with a bloody jerk like Draco Malfoy. There is only one reason why, I love him. Yes I Hermione Granger love a man who mercilessly kills and is Voldemort's right hand man, heir even.
He wasn't always like that though. At one time he was the sweetest and most loving man alive. But that was before his father died, before he was forced to take on the role of Right hand man to Voldemort. Why didn't I just up and leave you ask? Because for Draco I would do anything.
I remember the day he had to become a deatheather so clearly, I pouted, I screamed, I argued, I threatened to stop loving him even though lord knows I could never follow that.
FLASHBACK
" Hermione there's something I need to tell you." Draco said shakily. Hermione looked up at him from where her head rested on him chest, as she leaned on him.
" All right, what do you need to tell me?" Hermione asked curiously.
" Sigh, well, um, Hermione…I…I…I love you…" Draco said stumbling. Hermione smiled. She tilted her head upward so they could kiss.
" I love you too Draco, now and forever, I can promise you that." Hermione said sweetly.
" There's one other thing…I…I…have to become a deatheather." Draco added quietly. Hermione head snapped up from her resting place and she looked him straight in the eye.
" Are you kidding me? Become a deatheather? No way! I wont allow it!" Hermione said defiantly. Draco closed his eyes and sighed.
" I'm sorry Hermione…" He said quietly.
" Draco, you cant!" Hermione screamed at him shakily tears running down her face.
" Hey don't cry I hate to see tears staining that pretty face of yours." Draco said as his hand reached out to touch her cheek Hermione jumped up and turned so her back was facing him. Draco sighed.
" Hermione there is no point in being difficult. I have to do it… Or else…" Draco started to say when Hermione interrupted him
" Or else WHAT Draco?" She asked defiantly
" Or else, they will come after you… Lucius confronted me when I first refused and said if I didn't they would kill you, yes they know about us." Draco finally said as Hermione eyes widened and she gasped.
" But they wouldn't, would they?" she asked like an innocent schoolgirl.
" Don't be so naïve Hermione, of course they will, they don't care if you die or not, as long as they get me to be a deatheather." Draco told her.
" But-but…" Hermione stuttered sadly. Draco pulled her back onto the bench and held her close.
"Shu, it will be okay." Draco said quietly rocking her back and force while she cried hysterically.
" I sniff don't want sob you to sniff be one of THEM" Hermione wailed.
" Don't do it Draco, don't do it just to save me, because it would only kill me inside to see you as one of them." Hermione begged. Draco closed his eyes and rested his chin on her head. They stayed like that for hours, just sitting there, watching the clouds go by. Knowing the next day they would be forced to face their fate, their destiny, and the ultimate destruction of their love.
FLASHFORWARD
So you see I must stand by Draco. I'm all that he has left. So I will stand in wait, bruised and unloved, until he finds himself again. Until I see him smile at me like he did when we were 16. Until he kissed me with the passion of a lovesick lover. Until I meet him again I will stand by the monster he has created out his anger and hate, the monster with a little boy's soul waiting for a lover's kiss. I will wait for the day when he holds me tight and tells me he loves me. I only heard those words once, and I will wait lifetimes just to hear it one more time, because I love Draco, with my heart and with my soul. And I know deep down the man I love is still there, and he still loves me. I will stand by him, even if it means holding onto only but a memory of the Draco I knew. Because someday I know, Amor Omnia Vicit, love will conquer all.
