Disclaimer: Harry and co. Belong to JK, everything the seems familiar is her's too. And I'm not her because I'm not a brilliant author.

This is my new fic - a pact with the devil.

Chapter 1 - Modern day Romeo and Juliet

Amongst all the hatred they had for each other, everyone knew there was a deep feeling of love. After all love and hate walk hand in hand. Not a day went by when Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy didn't fight with each other over petty things.

At first their fights were just verbal and gauntlets were thrown, but then they became physical fights and many a time the teachers had to physically restrain them when they were in the same vicinity of each other trying to avoid another clash between the two of them.

Not long after the physically fighting started, people notice they were both very sexually frustrated people and fighting was their way to let each other know they like them. Harry and Ron were among the first people to notice how Hermione ranted and raved about Draco when he wasn't there, she would always be talking about him and he started to monopolize their conversations.

Blaise Zabini was Draco's only true friend and notice too how Draco spent more time thinking about Hermione than anything else, he always talked about how he hated her and wish she was never invited into 'our' schools as he called them many times.

Some how Draco and Hermione managed to put aside their hate for long enough to see that the feeling they harboured for each other was much stronger than hatred, it was love. And so at the end of 6th year they started a relationship. To them it was a test to see if it would last the long summer, Hermione stayed at the burrow and Draco often met her in Diagon Alley, Duff town and Hogsmede.

At the beginning of their 7th year, the physical side of the love they shared was explored and only made the two more madly in love with each other.

You may think that their relationship was progressing rather fast for they did hate each other for 6 years. But the young couple didn't think so, they were the modern day Romeo and Juliet. Their relationship was perfect, although it had to be kept a secret, they were grateful they had their own private quarters, been the head boy and girl. They could see as much of each other in private as they wanted and not have to worry about getting caught.

Just like Romeo and Juliet, Draco and Hermione's relationship wasn't perfect, especially when a very angry father found out.

Lucius Malfoy found out about the love his son had for a certain little mudblood. To say he wasn't happy was an understatement, he was furious. Voldermort was coming back to power and he needed Draco to be on his inner circle to ensure ultimate power.

Luicus could see why Draco loved Hermione, she was very attractive, but nothing in Lucius' eyes compared to Narcissa, who was stunningly beautiful. He just didn't approve of Hermione's heritage otherwise he would have openly allowed his son to be with her. Hermione had brains and beauty; she would have been a real asset to Voldermort. But her allegiance was pledge to the light side.

But Lucius wasn't a total bad man, he allowed his son to date Hermione on one condition.

Draco was to join Voldermort's forces when they time came for Voldermorts re-entrance either that of have Hermione killed now. Draco decided to join forces with his father and Voldermort. Anything to have more time with Hermione.

He knew the dark side would win; Dumbledore had lost a lot of power after the battle at the end of his 5th year and never regained the physical and mental strength. Dumbledore is the only wizard Voldermort is afraid of, not even Harry. And with Dumbledore safely out of the way he only had Harry to worry about.

Harry Potter was nothing without Dumbledore guiding him. The old coot was too weak to defend himself from a fly, let alone someone as powerful as Voldermort.

Draco easily saw that Voldermort had an advantage over the light and Draco wanted to be on the winning side, which was clear to him that it was going to be the dark side.

So Draco took his fathers offer, he would allowed to be with Hermione in the open but when the time came, he wouldn't be on her chosen side.

He would continue to see Hermione until his time came to leave.

On October 31st of his 7th year at Hogwarts while attending his last Halloween ball his time came...

"Don't be prat, Neville, that's illegal," said George. "They wouldn't use the Cruciatus Curse on the champions. I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing... maybe you've got to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry."
