Just A Dream-Carrie Underwood


"You're too young,"

"I love him!"

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were married in a time of war two weeks before her eighteenth. There was no longer an appropriate age on such matters.

"I love you,"

"I love you more," replied Hermione once she and Draco had managed to escape the small party their friends had organized for them.

Their happiness only lasted two weeks.

"Don't go," Hermione pleaded.

"I have to," Draco answered softly, "I'm the only one they have working in the inside now,"

"I know but do you have to go?" Hermione asked again as she sat up.

"He's calling us," Hermione saw how Draco unconsciously flexed his arm.

"Promise you'll come back."

"I'll be back,"

"Promise," she stressed.

"I promise we'll have the rest of our lives together,"

Hermione ran to door when she heard knocking.

"Ron, Ron, are you alright?" she asked as she saw Ron stumble in and barely make it to the couch.

"Hermione," he whispered weakly and her doubts were confirmed.

"Where is he?" she asked.

"Where is he!" this time her voice was laced with panic.

"He made sure Harry got out safely, he made sure I," and Ron began to sob.

"He's coming back right?" Hermione asked.

"He's not coming back home, Mione," Ron answered sadly his heart breaking at his friend's heartache.

"This is just a dream," Hermione said dreamily, "this can't be happening to me,"

"This is just a dream,"

The second time Hermione had to step foot inside the small chapel, she was a shell of the girl she once was.

Harry handed her Draco's pin labeling him an agent for the Order and she clutched it to her heart.

She felt like she was an outsider, looking through a window. It helped her manage the pain better making herself believe that this was just a dream.

Hermione made her way to the white casket up front and laid her hand on the cold surface.

"Why'd you have to leave me?" she asked softly as she stroked the cold marble.

"What good is it that you died a hero?" She went on, "what good is it that you saved so many lives when you ruined mine?" Hermione had circled the casket once, her fingers grazing the surface.

"You said forever," she accused him.

Hearts ached as they watched Hermione.

"Baby why'd you have to leave me? Why'd you have to go?" Hermione asked her voice raising in volume, "I was counting on forever with you Draco Malfoy!" her voice broke and she began to weep, "I was counting on forever, why'd you have to leave me?"

Hermione laid her head on the casket and wept.

"You said forever,"
