Sixth Year- Astronomy Tower
Hermione Granger walks into the Astronomy Tower hoping for some peace and quiet. Because she knows at the end of the year she will have to : delete her parents memories, go on the hunt for Horcrux's, and risk not making to her eighteenth birthday. She takes a seat on the cold brick bench, while looking out into the sky, looking for one thing. Hope. Suddenly, she hears foot steps appear, she turns her head to see it was Draco Malfoy.
"Listen Malfoy, if you're here to tease me, then just do it," she murmurs.
"Granger, I'm not. I just need to get away at least until..."
"Until what?"
"Until I'm forced to kill Dumbledore! Then after that I get my award!Granger, my award is the bloody Dark Mark!" he suddenly cried out.
"Oh save me the pity," she mumbles.
"Okay Know-it-all, why are you here?" he snarled.
"I'm looking for one thing," she answers still lost in the midnight sky.
"What's that?"
"Hope. I need hope to keep moving on after I get ride of my parents memory. I need hope so we can find what ever it is to defeat Voldemort. I need hope so I know I will live!" she cries.
Draco takes a seat beside her, and makes a brave move by pulling her into a tight one-arm hug.
"Granger, I promise we'll make it out alive."
"Promise," she asks like a sacred little child.
He turns to her and looks into her honey eyes and mumbles, "Promise."
Malfoy Manor
Here he was watching her get assaulted by his deranged aunt. She turns to look at him and mouths "Liar". As soon as she does that, flashbacks go through his head, and he tackles his aunt.
"Draco! What are doing!" Bellatrix yelled.
"RUN!" he cries.
Bellatrix marches over to Draco then throws him on the ground beside a limping Hermione.
"You little traitor! Bellatrix exclaims.
She turns to Narcissa, with a wicked grin placed on her face.
"Cissy, either you Cruico him or I do!"
"I won't do that to my son."
"OH GOODIE!"
Bellatrix whips around to find Draco shielding Hermione with his body.
"Well, you physic bitch do it!" he ordered.
"Now Draco, you don't mean that!" his mother cries.
"I do!"
"Enough of this chit-chat! Cruico!"
Draco pulls Hermione closer embracing her tightly, so his back gets all the pain.
"Granger, we'll make it out," he mumbles.
"Promise?" she coughs.
"Promise!" he yells in pain.
After the Final Battle- Black Lake
"Draco!"
"Draco!"
"DRACO!" she cries out once again, crashing onto the ground.
Soon a pair of bloody arms wrap around her, pulling her into his chest.
"I'm here," he whispers in her ear.
"Oh Draco!" she sobs placing her head in between where his shoulder and neck met.
"Guess what?" he asks.
"What?"
"We survived."
"We'll survive with out new life too."
"I promise, we will," he says pulling her until she was in his lap.
"Promise?"
"Promise," and he seals int with a kiss.
