"How did you do that? That was fantastic!" Draco exclaimed.
"Well, your father mentioned something about witches. They are real. But not all of them are bad. At least, they don't have to be. I am and I do good things." Rowena explained.
"Like what?" Hermione asked.
"I am actually building a school with three other witches and wizards. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A school for magical people."
"Amazing. Thank you so much for getting us out of there. Where are we now?"
"In Scotland. No one will harm you here. I promise."
"Where do we go now?"
"You can stay with me until we figure out where you can live permanently."
"Thank you, Miss Rowena. I'm most grateful."
"My pleasure." she smiled and beckoned for the two to follow her. Her house was small but charming. They stepped inside and sat down. Rowena showed them their rooms. She then left them alone and walked back into the kitchen to fix some food.
"I'm so glad that you're safe." Draco murmured into Hermione's hair.
"Me too." Hermione smiled.
"Won't you miss your parents, though?" she asked.
"Not really. They never really cared for me anyway." Draco frowned.
"Too bad. I miss mine. I've been lonely ever since they died."
"It might sound strange, but I feel lonely every day in the castle. It's just so empty and lifeless."
"I understand. I've never really had anybody as a friend or anything. I guess my love for anything just disappeared along with my parents."
"That's one thing we don't have in common."
"What?"
"Love. Mine isn't gone. Because I love you."
"I guess I lied then. I love you, too."
Hermione pulled Draco into a long kiss, neither wanting to stop.
