Hi all! I've finally got this chapter done, I know it's short, but I had to think of what to write when I got this bad case of writer's block. Hope you'll like it!
Unbroken Bonds
By Amber
Chapter 2
I love him.
Those were the first three words that Hermione Granger thought as she sat on the hard wooden chair, her head cradled in her hands.
All of it had happened too fast for her to grasp, first she was made Head Prefect with Draco, their friendship had slowly developed into something more, but neither of them had wanted to admit it to the other party.
She probably should have told Draco, but of all the things she was afraid of, perhaps being rejected was one of the worst.
Many hadn't known this, but when she had first came to Hogwarts she knew that many would look down on her because of her pedigree. So she had managed to gain many of their respect with her sharp wit and her endless studying to become the very best.
It wasn't as if she did not enjoy the respect and knowledge that she gained, but she was always afraid that one day it would all come crashing down on her as someone might see through her façade. But to her utter happiness, no one ever did, not even Draco.
Then, suddenly it was already the end of their seventh year, Draco was having trouble with his family because he didn't want to be helping the Dark Side, but Lucius insisted, in the end Lucius made Draco fight, but Draco did not have the Dark Mark upon his arm and did not have to obey the Dark Lord.
Draco had broken up with Hermione a week before the war, afraid of what the Death Eaters would do with both of themif they found out that they were together, but he hadn't told Hermione this, saying that she was simply a fling and she wasn't asclever as every one else had thought her be.Hermione was so confident that herbroken heart could neverbe put back together anymore, andhad sought comfort in Harry and Ron, but she hadn't told them that Draco was not a Death Eater.
Thankfully, they hadn't seen Draco during the final battle, for they had told Hermione that they would've killed him, themselves.
She had not gotten over him, still believing that the relationship that they had, all the things that they did, was real.
She refused to give up her hope that he would return to her eventually. When she had been fighting the Death Eaters she had been so afraid that the ones she killed and wounded had been him. Her relief eveytime she lifted their mask and found out that it wasn't him seemed to wash over her and give her strength…..and more hope.
When Harry had proposed she had been so shocked, after all, he knew that she had just gotten out of a relationship, she remembered his eyes as his last breath left him, filled with a mixture of emotions that he had wanted to express.
Closing her eyes now, she could not help but feel guilt that she might have done something, said something to let him know what she felt.
Her stomach formed a tight knot when she thought about Harry and Ron, her eyes clouded over but she quickly wiped them away. Both of them probably didn't want her to dwell over their deaths.
But as the Healers starting to come out of the operation room, all of their mouths set into a grim line, Hermione's couldn't help but allow a single tear fall to the ground as the knot twisted tighter than before.
Did he die or will he live to see Hermione once again? Wait to find out! Want to help Amber? Click that Submit Review button down there and tell her what you think as well as make her day!
