Don't forget.

She felt a tear slip down her cheek. Quickly wiping it away she looked at him and tried to take his hand. When he looked at her in that way... the way that made her feel so alive, she wanted nothing more then to sing or dance or do something loud and real. He looked at her with love in his face. Everywhere it shone in the darkness and it brightened even the darkest nights. She loved him more then anything in the world and when he looked at her like that, on this night at this moment it broke her heart.
"Why?" she asked as calmly as she could.
He withdrew his hand. "You know why" his voice was deep.
She shook her head "No I don't" she grabbed his hand again and held on as tight as she could.
"You don't have to go, you could run or ask Dumbledore for help." She felt her voice crack as she tried to tell him everything she felt now and everything she wished she said before.
"You can't leave me" she whispered and let go of his hand.
She felt him stroke her hair and then as he pulled her into a hug she broke down completely. He just hugged her harder and stroked her hair some more.
Getting control of herself she smiled sadly up at him.
"When?" this time her voice was steady.
"Tonight" He looked back at her with such an intense look in his eye she looked away.
"It's funny" He said slowly. "The two most unlikely people to fall in love, yet here we are..." he trailed off.
She felt a small smile grace her lips as she turned to look at him again. "Is this goodbye forever?" she asked dreading the answer.
"Yes" his voice shook, for the first time since she had met him. Tears didn't come for her anymore, this was too sad for tears. Once your heart is broken, tears wouldn't make it better.
She was shaken out of her thoughts by a loud pop about half a mile away. Draco turned to her fear etched into his face.
"Go now!" he whispered loudly. "Go!" Just as she turned away she heard him whisper, "I love you" Her heart numb with pain she whispered back "I love you to"
Then she walked away, back up to the castle where the end of year feast was being celebrated. Once she was at the door she ran the rest of the way to her dorm. Throwing herself on the bed she felt something hard. Under her was a box. Inside it was a ring. A beautiful ring made of Black topaz and surrounded by emeralds. A note fell out. On it, it simply said, don't forget. Slipping the ring onto her finger she heard footsteps on the stairs. Laughter filled voices filled the room and throwing the curtains shut just in time she got under the covers and closed her eyes. There was rustling around her bed and the curtains were thrown open.
"Hermione? Are you awake?" after a minute or two the girls backed off and closed the curtains.
Sitting up she held the note close to her and whispered, "I won't ever forget."
