Chapter 3: Break Up
Hermione sighed as she sat down on the couch after a long day of arguing with Harry and Ron. Once again, they felt it necessary to inform her that Draco was still a snake and just using me. She clenched her fist, remembering their comments.
"Hermione, he's using you! He doesn't love you. I bet he's just with you to get back at me and Ron. He's planning on breaking you, 'Mione. I don't want that." Harry spat, when she casually updated on her and Draco's plans for the future.
"Harry's right, 'Mione. Just because you think he's changed, doesn't mean he has. He still looks…haughty. Like he's planning something…" Ron interjected, trailing off.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Honestly. You two cannot be happy for me can you?" She had yelled. She got up and walked out of The Burrow, after throwing back her head to scream a 'sod off!'.
Hermione jumped at the sound of the door opening. Her hand flew to her chest, turning to see who it was. Draco smiled weakly, walking into the living room. "Draco! You bloody scared me…" She said, kissing his cheek when he sat down. "How did your visit with Narcissa go?" She asked, getting up to get him a butterbeer.
Draco sighed, shrugging. "Well, it wasn't just mother there." He said taking the butterbeer from her. "Thanks." He said, taking a sip. He bit his lip, looking at her. "Father was there as well."
Hermione frowned at the mention of his father. "What was he doing there?" She exclaimed, truly confused. Narcissa was completely infuriated with Lucius for how he treated Draco. Why would she even let him in the house?
Draco sighed, looking away from her. "She had been put under the Imperious Curse. I could tell." He whispered, setting his gaze on the wall. "She wasn't….her." He could feel her silence, begging him to continue. "He…well, they wanted me to leave you." He said quietly, holding back the tears that were threatening to fall.
Hermione frowned, raising her eyebrows. "Really? Why?" She asked, almost instantly knowing what the answer was.
Draco cradled his head in his hands, ashamed of himself. "Because Mother told him about us. And because Father didn't want me breeding with a…a…" He stopped, unable to say the words.
"A what?" Hermione asked softly, a tear in her eye.
"A Mudblood." He said quietly. He sniffed, unable to hide his tears due to the immediate future that they will have. "He said he'll kill you if I don't end it." He looked at her with sad and glazed eyes. He grabbed her hand tightly, as if she was his only rock. "I have to, 'Mione…I have to go. I can't let that happen to you." He said, tears rolling down his face.
Hermione shook her head. "Draco, you can't. Please don't leave me…." She whimpered, fresh tears staining her cheek. "You're the only thing I've got, Draco. Please." She said, clutching to his hand for dear life.
Draco frowned, thinking it was going to be way harder to do this than he had hoped for. He sighed, taking her face in his hands. "Hermione, I swear that it will only for a little while. I promise, 'Mione…" He said kissing her lips softly, showing that he really did love her.
Hermione kissed him back, tears rolling down her face. He pulled away, resting his forehead on hers. "I want us to have one more time together…I just want to imprint every whisper, every touch, and every kiss that comes from you."
Hermione nodded, knowing that she had to be strong. One last time together and then he'd be gone, maybe forever.
Draco took her by the hand and led her to the bedroom, climbing onto the bed with her beside him. He kissed her softly, making sure that he didn't rush things. No, he wanted to embrace her everything. He wanted every second to pass like an hour. He hovered over her, brushing aside a stray curl.
"I love you." Draco said softly, his cold, stormy eyes warm with love. He kissed her with all his love for her in his heart. He made every second count, knowing that this is the last of their soft, last night of lovemaking.
After hours of drawing out and soft moans, Draco kissed her forehead, his eyes full of tears and only a few spilling. He got out of their-no, her bed and quickly dressed. Hermione understood, her own tears falling down her face.
He turned around at the door, facing her for only a moment. "Hermione, I'll be back. I don't know when exactly, but I will. Oh, and I love you. Don't forget that either." He said, giving her his famous Malfoy smirk. She chuckled and smiled back. "I won't." He smiled for a few moments, as if he was absorbing her completely. He then closed the door, leaving her forever.
"I love you too." Hermione whispered, clutching a rose to her heart. Tears fell from her cheek, falling onto the rose. She laid the flower onto the grave with the headstone reading "Draco Lucius Malfoy". She stood up, carrying a small girl with brown, curly hair and pale, stormy eyes towards her car.
