Hermione's dying and the one to say goodbye isn't who she expected (oneshot).
Saving You
"Granger" said Malfoy dressed in white robes
"Oh you've got to be kidding me" muttered Hermione as she watched Malfoy walk over to her
"Oh no this is no joke, although I'm slightly curious, why you choose me"
Hermione blinked "you think I chose you! Ferret the only thing I can think of is that the blood loss has made me slightly deluded"
"Come now Granger maybe in these last few moment you wanted some witty repartee"
"With whom?" she looked around "in case you didn't catch the memo I HATE YOU"
"And people say love and hate is a thin line"
"What people say this?"
Draco just chuckled "so these are the last few moment anything you want to get of your chest"
"To you I don't think so"
"You'd prefer Weasley"
"Yeah"
"Tough you stuck with me" he looked down and Hermione followed his eyes and saw the doctors working on her "there isn't much time left"
Hermione looked down "what did I do to deserve this fate. Come on! I was smart kept my head down was nice to everyone" at Malfoy cough she repeated "nice to mostly everyone"
"I guess good things don't happen to good people"
"Oh and I suppose this is a vacation spot for you" she snapped
"As far as goodbyes go this isn't that bad" she gave him a look "you could have been Goyle or Crabbe" he shivered "oh worse -Pansy" he shivered
"Their your friends"
He shrugged "maybe"
"Look Malfoy you can't tell me you're really happy about this"
"Does it matter, either way I'm dead or" he looked down "dying. So confessions want me to go first"
"I am not sharing my secrets with you" she yelled
"Who am I going to tell? Although I suppose I'll get me some body guard angels and we could go mocking you around the water cooler"
"And what is with you going to heaven I mean you were evil"
"Did you ever stop to wonder how I got here?"
"No not really"
"Maybe you should"
"No thanks"
"….."
"Fine I've got a confession" she looked embarrassed "I once cheated on a test" she began pacing "well Ron he need some help and I"
Draco began to laugh "that's your big confession"
"What's yours?"
Draco was silent for a moment "that I didn't exactly hate you"
She narrowed her yes "don't lie"
"Why would I lie? What have I got to lose?"
"…."
"Wasn't what you expected was it"
"No" she admitted quietly.
"Well I guess this is goodbye"
"What I'm dead"
"Who said you're the one that was dying"
"You did you said not long left"
"Till you go back" he smirked "for someone so smart you incredibly slow"
"Get bent ferret"
He smiled "say hello to potty and weasel for me"
"What did you die for?"
"For saving you" he wisphered
She narrowed her eyes "What I never saw you in battle"
"Not then Hermione"
She looked down, recognistion shinying in her eyes "gosh of all the times to start being a decent guy you pick now"
"I was being fashionably late"
She laughed as tears glistened her eyes "take care of yourself Malfoy"
"I will"
"Malfoy" she called and he stopped her retreat "I have a better confession or more like a request"
"I don't know if we can order books around here" he joked and his face shined with an innocence that she had never seen in any one- least of all him.
"No not that! I- well-" she began to blush "I always wondered what it be like to kiss the guy who made fun of you for years"
He grinned. She smiled. "Yeah"
They regarded each other.
He moved began a slowly paced walk over to her "since I'm now a decent guy I guess it only right to fulfilling a lady's last request" and because he was walking to slow she ran towards him and throw her hand around his neck. He caught her acround the waist and then bent his head. His lips gently touched her "one day" he wisphered as they parted. Then he was gone and she standing alone in a big white room.
