Hermione P.o.V

Me and Draco had been together for years now, yet nothing in our relationship had surprised me more than this…..

We first started talking in third year, he had come up to me and apologised for being an idiot. I did the right thing and said sorry for punching him. It had started slowly; he would say hi in the corridors and would help me get books. But soon we started to build a strong friendship.

In fourth year, when Viktor asked me to the yule ball Draco was angry; he made it very clear that he was jealous, it was then I started to have a crush on him.

After the incident with Ron I had ran outside crying. Draco followed me, he told me 'Weasley' was stupid. We had a laugh and then he did something entirely unexpected. He kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he wrapped his around me waist.

He pulled away for air, putting his forehead on mine and whispered in my ear,

'You look amazing, don't let the weasel get you down,' he pulled away and got down on one knee. I blinked twice. 'Hermione Granger, will you please be my girlfriend,' he grinned at me, I nodded so quickly it made my head hurt, I threw myself in his waiting arms. 'C-can we not tell anyone, It's not that i'm ashamed'; it's just… I think it would be easier for the both of us,' he said choosing his words carefully,

'That's fine Draco,' I told his caressing his cheek, he kissed me once more then went back inside; I felt pure happiness.

Fifth year was difficult, Draco was pressured to join Umbridge's little squad. Harry and Ron didn't help by talking dirt of him. Draco and I had to keep our 'hatred of each other' come to play a lot of the time, but we got through it.

And here we stood in sixth year, I was watching Draco and the death eaters from down below, he was told to kill Dumbledore. He stood there shaking, a nervous wreck. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I swung around to see Harry. There was a flash of light, Dumbledore was falling. In Draco's place was Snape, I felt Harry tense.

Draco didn't do it, Snape did.

Snape killed Dumbledore.

I couldn't help but feel a wave of relief wash through me,

'Excellent Draco, the Dark Lord has set another task for you, you are to kill that filthy mudblood, Potter's friend.' Bellatrix cackled. Draco went pale, before he could say anything Harry launched forward.

'NO!' he screamed, I was about to run to Draco but Harry beat me there, 'DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER! DON'T YOU DARE!' he shouted drawing his wand,

'I am not killing her!' Draco screeched, all of the death eaters looked mortified,

'You dare defy the Dark Lord!?' Yaxley hissed at him.

'I AM NOT HURTING HER!' Draco said louder,

'Nephew, do you know he will kill you for this?' Bellatrix asked looking worried,

'He is a blood traitor, worse than the mudblood!' someone who I didn't recognize shouted, Draco noticed me and his eyes widened, he ran away from the crowd, I knew what he was doing. If they saw me, they would kill me instantly. But I'm stubborn, so I ran after him. Everyone had finally got over their shock and recognised Harry. They ran after us.

We got to the bottom of the tower and Draco collapsed, the death eaters stopped following and disappeared.

'Malofy!'

'Draco!' me and Harry called at the same time. After a few minutes of him lying ridged and me calling his name he finally moved.

'W-what happened?' I cried hugging him, not caring if Harry saw.

'He called us 'Mione, the dark mark burns when he does.' Draco said hugging me immediately, Harry cleared his throat.

'Sorry Malfoy I've got to talk to Hermione alone,' Draco scowled but let me go. Harry led me to get Ron and we went to the bridge that connected the schools; I knew that Draco was listening in but didn't say anything.

Harry told us about the horcruxes and defeating Voldemort,

'I need you guys' help' Harry finished, Ron immediately agreed as did I, Draco burst from his hiding spot.

'Ermm mate, I think the Death Eater heard,' Ron whispered to Harry.

'I'm coming too Potter, in case you didn't notice I'm on the run.' he said, I looked into his icy blue eyes,

'NO WAY!' Ron shouted, Harry sighed,

'Malfoy, I saw what happened tonight, you do need to hide. Just I'm trusting you, don't betray us.' he said, Ron's eyes bulged.

'Harry mate I think you need to rethink this, he's a bloody Death Eater,' Ron said calmly, I was getting annoyed,

'Ronald Weasley, Draco just denied the rest of the death eaters, refusing to kill me. Someone he has hated for years. I think you need to stop being so childish and get over your grudge. This is the entire wizarding world we're talking about here!' I yelled at him, he glared at me.

'Since when have you been part of the Malfoy fanclub,' he muttered, even know he was talking to himself, I could still hear.

'Since he refused to kill me,' I lied smoothly calming down a little. Ron shut up but didn't look happy.

Harry and Ron started walking to our common room; I followed slowly behind, talking with Draco,

'Thank you' I told him, he stopped looking confused.

'For what?' he asked,

'For not killing me, for risking your life for me,' I said sheepishly looking at the ground. He started laughing quietly, I looked up. If the boys in front heard, they didn't pay any attention.

'I thought you were smart buckteeth, I love you, I would never hurt you' he took my hand in his, he had used that nickname for me since first year, he used it to make me laugh now.

'I love you too... ferret' he smiled at his nickname and I smiled back. We held hands and carried on up the hall, where at the end we left each other to go to our assigned common rooms. For our last night at Hogwarts.
