She thought she'd never feel any peace, joy or safety again. Not after the incident where she lost her two best friends to the almighty bastard Voldemort. She didn't grieve after the loss because they died a heroic death by killing Voldemort just before Voldemort got them. She'd just felt a chill go down her spine when she got the news, and that chill stayed there until this very day. She felt an emptiness take place where the laughter, joy and love had been, and the emptiness was killing her. She just turned her back to everyone and buried herself in work, but after a while she noticed that her once so big passion to succeed in school was gone. Hermione felt the emptiness over take her whole being, and a chill went through her. Lost with herself she walked into the forbidden forest, in the middle of the night, head down, and tears in her beautiful brown eyes. Her whole being was radiating despair and loneliness.

There she found you.

You were on your way from a 'meeting' with you father, a meeting that left you with a punctured lung and a couple of broken ribs. Your hair was messed and stained with blood, you were shaking because of the exhaustion, but pale as always, but this time it worried her. You were leaning against a tree, breathing fast but painfully. She felt a rush of fear and fright go through her and she stumbled to your side. You looked at her as if she was an angel so pure that you couldn't believe you eyes. She quickly drew her wand and searched through her mind for healing spells. Soon she was mending the boy and finally she summoned a stretcher and levitated you to the school. But when you neared the school you suddenly turned you gaze to her and whispered "Please don't take me to the hospital wing or Slytherin Dorms, I..- I cant.." You stuttered pain filling your eyes. She nodded, smiled and led you to her head girl dorm. She levitated you on the bed, then summoned the stretcher away, and looked through her trunk after a healing potion or any sleeping draughts she could find. After she gave you the sleeping potion, you confused her by begging her to not leave you. You pleaded her to stay and sleep by you side. She did it, because she loved you, and you knew it.

So she'd thought she'd never feel any peace, joy or safety again. How wrong she was. After this incident they became closer, they skipped classes to be together, lied to everyone else and were happy together. She felt how the emptiness was getting filled with the love Draco offered her, and Draco grew stronger inside after each night they slept together. Then one night before he had to go to one of those dreadful 'meetings' with his father, she turned to him and offered her soul, heart and body to him and he accepted it. The day after that Draco killed his father. He came back to the school, covered in blood but smiling sadly. When she came to meet him she screamed, cried and mended him. "You have to run Draco, I won't let them take you to Azkaban, I wont" she cried, her heart aching. He embraced her and kissed her on her head, and whispered "I would but I can't leave you, my darling I can't do this to you..." she felt how tears leaked from his eyes on her head; she looked up into his eyes and said

"I'll come with you"

She ran to Dumbledore's office, explained everything, apologised and was just about to run out when he said "My mansion has an empty room for a couple, I've got a portkey here, just in case someone needs it" he placed and orb on his desk, and turned away.

Hermione started to cry of joy, and ran to meet Draco.

And she never felt that emptiness again.
