Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. The plot of course is of my own.


Hermione watched Ron fall to the ground. She hurried to his side and watched as the light faded from his eyes. She gathered him in her arms and sobbed as she rocked back and forth until she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Draco standing above her.

"Is this what you wanted?" she spat at him. "I hope you're happy." He winced and pain crossed his eyes. Good. He turned from her and walked away into the chaos. "DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME DRACO MALFOY!" she screamed at him. She gently let Ron down and ran after Draco.

She grabbed his arm and turned him around, balling her hand up into a fist. When he fully turned, she let go of the anger that built up inside her while she ran and punched him as hard as she could.

Draco fell back into what was left of a wall, shocked that she would even follow him. He wasn't surprised at the attack however, he deserved it more then she could even imagine. "Go ahead, kill me," he hissed. "Put me out of my misery."

Hermione looked at him stunned. He was asking her to do something she could never do? She growled and pulled her wand out, aiming it at his chest. "You helped cause the death of innocent people," she whispered. "Maybe you shouldn't have the easy way out. I'm sure some dementors would love to have you…." Her voice trailed off.

Draco's eyes widened slightly at the thought. It was worse than death. To have the soul sucked out of you yet you still live. How cruel this witch in front of him was. Yet he deserved the punishments that should come to him. "Do it," he whispered back, the pain in his voice.

Hermione heard what he tried to cover up. "What kind of game are you playing?" she yelled at him.

"No, no game," he said between clenched teeth.

"Maybe you should live. That way you could always be alone to remember what you did." She turned from him and walked away, leaving him to a cold hard life that was to come to him.

Hermione jerked awake, tears running down her cheek. She turned, grabbed her pillow and yelled into it, letting the anger out. She sobbed as she remembered the night that changed her life. Seeing Draco today didn't help her much seeing the nightmare came back for the first time in months.

"Damn you," she said aloud. "You just had to come back didn't you?"

The doorbell rang and made her jump. She groaned and got out of bed, putting her robe on and wiping her face as she hurried downstairs. She answered the door and froze as she saw a spitting image of Draco standing in front of her.

"Miss Granger?" the boy asked.

"Y-yes," she stammered out.

"I'm Scorpius Malfoy, Draco Malfoys son," he said.


There's chapter 2. Yes, yes, I know it's short. I meant for it to be that way. Don't worry, I'll make sure the next chapter is much longer. :) Again, sorry if it seems rushed. I've been busy with work so I didn't have much time to work on this.
