What Love Really Means

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

A/N: My Most favorite pairing, Dramione. Hermione is out of character. This chapter is the most pathetic chapter. Hermione's out of Character so as Draco. LOL.

Chapter 6

Voldemort won the war. But he didn't killed Harry, he made Harry his slave, much to Harry's horror, He made Ron…Snape's slave much to the dismay of Snape. And he made Hermione…Draco's slave. Hogwart has turned into a Monster's Mansion. Muggle borns worked there as slaves, Vampires and Wolves and other dangerous creatures ruled the school, and the purebloods students became the king of them and all the Half Blood student's were like 'Go with the Flow'.

Draco entered his room, he saw Hermione was lying in the ground, her hands and legs were in shackles and her robes were torn apart, and blood was spurting out of her chest, her body was full of wounds and she looked pale and tired, and there were scars on her neck too.

When she noticed Draco entering his room, she winced a bit.

''Hey there, Miss Know-It-All, Mud-blood'' He sneered, his eyebrows were slanted inward and there was a wrinkle in his nose.

Hermione frowned, she bowed her head, tried to hide her face. Draco scowled at her. He felt that she would defend, gave him a witty remark but…

''Tippy'' he called.

''Yes, Master Draco'' Tippy chirped while appearing with a cracking noise.

''Take Miss Granger, wash her, give her some warm robes and feed her'' he commanded. Hermione gazed at him. Draco looked away from her face and left his room.

Hermione was cleaning the library of the Malfoy Manor. The library and the Garden were the best parts of this Manor according to Hermione. She loved the library a lot; it brings a lot of memories. The library reminded her of Hogwarts Library. She missed Hogwarts a lot.

Since the day she has joined, Draco has treated her nicely, well, by treating her nicely meaning that he didn't physically abused her…well, he did insulted her many a times but he's a bit different now. Hermione hated herself being a slave. But, she kept all her pain to herself. Because, no one's there for her right now. 'I am alone...' She thought.

She took out a book from one of the shelves. It was 'Hogwarts: A History'. She smiled while looking at it. Harry, Ron and Ginny used to tease her for buying this same book every year. She wondered 'Where's Harry and Ron? I hope they're okay'. Hermione does not knew that Harry's Voldemort's slave and Ron worked as a servant for Snape, for which Ron's quite happy as Snape was better than Voldemort a lot.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps.

She glanced around to see Draco Malfoy, gazing at her confusingly.

''Malfo…Sir, do you want something?'' she asked Draco while lowering her head.

''Nothing…I just came here to convey a message…Potter and Weasley has fled…'' Draco said.

Hermione looked up at him, her eyes sparkles with sudden happiness and a bit of confusion.

''Leave, Granger, Mother and Father, They're currently in Dark Lords House, celebrating little Delphini's birthday, it's your great chance to escape, go now'' he said with a frown. Hermione remained calm. He gritted his teeth and shouted. ''The Dark Lord might torture you.''

Hermione remains silent, she frowns and said ''I have to clean the entrance room, Sir, so I would be glad If you kindly leave me alone.''

Draco stared at her in disbelief, he scowled at her. But Hermione Ignored him again and then, she left the library.

Draco entered his room, he noticed Hermione lying on the sofa, sleeping peacefully. Draco has let her share his bedroom. The Malfoy Manor had many rooms but his parents did not like the idea of Hermione's stay in the Guest room, after all, she's a slave, and Slave deserved Cellars but Draco requested his parents to keep her in his room so that he could keep his eyes on her.

Draco frowned; he unbuttoned his shirt, and tossed it on the ground. He looked at the mirror. His whole upper body was filled with scars and wounds. He flinched a bit. He sighed and sat there on the bed.

''Wish Potter would kill the nose less Bleeder'' he mutters. He blinked; he felt a cold hand gripping his shoulder. He turned around to see Granger staring at him with a sad expression.

''Can I help you with your wounds, Sir?'' she asked Draco. Draco glanced at her warily and nodded slowly.

Hermione then started to tend his wounds in the muggle way. He winced, and flinched a bit.

''Why don't you use your wand?'' He gasped in pain when he felt her touching his wound in his back. He saw her dabbing it with her handkerchief.

''I don't have a wand with me right now'' She answered.

''Stop right now'' he shouted. Hermione looked at him in confusion.

He got up from his bed, opened the drawer of the shelves and took out a wand.

He gave it to her and said ''Take it, and leave this place quickly, right now.''

Hermione stared at him for a brief moment and then looked away.

''I don't want to go anywhere''

''Granger, stop talking like a mad woman'' he shouted again. He grabbed her hand, forced her to turn around, and then gripped her shoulder and shooked it vigorously.

''Why you're behaving like this, Granger? Why?'' he yelled as loud as he could. He stared into her chocolate brown eyes.

''I…don't know'' she retorted softly. Draco bites his cheek, forced his lips together.

''You're mad'' he said.

''I guess I am'' she grinned humorlessly. Draco couldn't help but shook his head in annoyance.

''Aunt Bella has tortured you so bad, she even changed your bossy, uptight personality too'' he continued "Where's that lioness?''

''She died long ago'' She answered quickly. Draco stared at her with a frown.

''I want her to come alive again'' he said.

She looked at him.

"You filthy little mudblood, How dare you steal the sword?" Bellatrix shrieked like a banshee. Hermione cried "No, I didn't, No". Bellatrix smirked "Oh, Yes, you did" and then, bites her tender flesh roughly.

"Noooooooooo"

The Scene dissolved, Hermione woke up, panting and breathing heavily. The time was around 2:00 P.M.

She saw that Draco was looking at her worriedly,.

"I am sorry" Hermione apologized while blushing in embarrassed.

"Well...you should be, you have ruined my sleep" He said while looking straight into her. Hermione remained quiet.

Draco frowned "Two years ago, you would have said 'Well, you deserved it, Ferret'' Am I correct, Granger?"

Hermione sighed "Everything has changed now."

"I disagree" Draco said and then, sat beside her in the Sofa. He continued "If you look clearly, then you would see only the things around us has changed, You're still you and I am still me."

Hermione Ignored him. Draco furrowed his brows and said "Will you stop ignoring me?"

Hermione Ignored him again and got up off the sofa. She walked slowly out of the room. She passed through the corridors of the Malfoy Manor and then, she descended down the stairs and walked towards the exit door. She wanted some alone time for herself.

She was currently in the garden now. The garden was really vast. It was filled with beautiful Flowers, Herbs and vines, the trees were filled with ripe fruits, she can hear the sound of the insects buzzing. It was like a fairytale garden. She loved this place.

"I knew you'd be here" She heard a voice. Hermione frowned and turned around to see Draco Malfoy with his smug smirk.

"What're you doing here, Sir? Why can't you just leave me alone?" Hermione shouted with an annoyed face.

"I would never leave you alone" Draco replied, he was still smirking which annoyed Hermione more. But, another part inside her liked what he said. For the first time, she felt happy. She looked at him with a scowl, but was smiling inwardly.

Hermione was sitting in the balcony and was staring at the beautiful night sky full of stars.

''Granger…'' Draco called. She turned around to see that he was looking at her while leaning against the doorway.

''What's wrong, Sir?'' she asked curiously.

''Granger…I have told Tippy, get ready…you'll leave this place tomorrow'' he said.

''I won't go anywhere, I have told you before, Sir'' she shouted.

Draco scorned and said ''you have to go…and call me by my name, you calling me 'Sir' irritates me.''

''Draco…I have already told you…I won't go anywhere, why you're doing this to me?'' Hermione cried.

''I hate seeing you like this…Granger…you're so…'' he stopped.

''Draco, I can't stay without you…I love you, Please let me stay'' she pleaded. He stared at her in disbelief. It happened so suddenly, Draco has never expected all of it. Granger loving him, It's impossible, Seem's like the World going to end soon, He thought. He looked and her, cleared his throat and said,

''What? Have you lost your mind? Well, seems like you really —'' He couldn't finish off because Hermione kissed him suddenly and after some minutes, she lets him go. Draco stared at her with wide eyes.

''Granger…'' he whispered. Hermione smiled at him.

Draco pushed her against the wall, attacked her with his lips while gripping her back lightly. Her hand was in his hairs.

''I love you, Draco...'' Hermione mumbled.

''You're hopeless'' he smirked and kissed her again.

They were currently in the forest of Dean. Draco has escaped the manor along with Hermione yesterday.

They were walking for about two hours.

''Draco wait…please'' Hermione said while taking heavy breaths.

Draco stopped and looked at her with concern.

Draco took out the small muggle water container which was filled with water and gave it to her.

Hermione took the bottle and started to gulp the water.

''We have to walk faster as we can'' he said. And suddenly, the forest shook with a deafening blast.

They saw Bellatrix Lestrange appearing there in front of them.

''Draco…good to see you again'' Bellatrix grins.

Draco and Hermione stared at Bellatrix, both of them looked horrified. As soon as Bellatrix moved a bit towards them, Draco quickly holds Hermione's hand and disapparated away from there.

They apparated inside a cave now, Draco said ''Get away from here, now, go.'' It was happening so fast for Draco. Hermione shook her head.

''I won't go anywhere'' Hermione cried.

And suddenly they saw Bellatrix Lestrange apparating there. She pointed her wand towards Hermione and muttered a deadly curse.

Draco pushed Hermione out of the way and took the curse.

Draco falls on the ground, and clutched his chest, while crying in agony. Hermione stared at him in shock.

''Seems like your blood traitor boyfriend's dead right'' Bellatrix grins. She pointed her wand at Hermione but Hermione was faster, she cried a hex. Bellatrix shrieked, she vanishes.

''Draco…'' Hermione cried. She took his head, and placed it on her lap.

''Get away from here, Granger…'' he said while coughing blood.

''You can't die, Draco…no'' she shouted.

''Granger….Hermione…I love you and I want you to be happy'' he said. His hand became cold and frozen. He's no more.

''Draco…NO'' Hermione cried loudly.

Sixteen years later

Voldemort was defeated four years ago by Harry, He couldn't take all of those shits, he was tired of taking care of baby Delphini, changing her nappies, full of potties; he was tired of hugging Voldemort all day long, he was tired of giving Voldemort's pet vampires Muggle born's blood, he was completely tired of Voldemort's sexual abuse, so he fled away from Voldy's scary Riddle Manor with the help of Ron and his boyfriend, Professor Snape and the three of them killed Voldemort. The new Minister of Magic was announced and elected and that's, Hermione Jean Granger. Today, she came here to see off her son, Scorpius Granger. This was his last year.

''Bye, Mum'' said the Platinum haired boy with grey eyes. He waved at Hermione, his girlfriend Rose Snape-Weasley, the daughter of Severus Snape and Ron Weasley, was sitting beside him. Hermione smiled at him.

''Bye'' she said.

The train headed off. She then took out her wand, well; it was Draco's former wand, the wand which he gave it to her to use. She gripped it tightly and stared again at the retreating Hogwarts express with a sad smile.

The End
