Chapter 7

"Is he going to be alright, professor?" Hermione asked quietly as she followed Dumbledore.

FLASHBACK

Hermione could be heard arguing with Draco from a mile away. After what seems to be loads of screaming, Harry and Ron came to help. They had thought Hermione was screaming for help because Draco was threatening her or they got into a fist fight. When they walked in, they didn't expect to see Draco on Hermione's lap, passed out.

Professor Dumbledore walked in at that second, he took Draco in his arms.

"Ms. Granger, come with me,"

Professor Dumbledore commanded as he walked out, He turned back for one more glance. He looked at Harry and Ron and nodded at them.

"Harry. Ron."

They nodded back and took their bags to their room after helping Hermione out of her position. Her legs didn't seem to be functioning.

"'mione, come on," Ron said as Harry took the bags.

Hermione nodded at them, unable to speak. She followed Professor Dumbledore into Hogwarts. She hadn't even realized they've arrived. She was too shocked to notice her surroundings. As soon as Hermione started walking on her own, Ron let go of her and went separate ways.

Hermione felt frightened, she didn't know what was happening. One minute she was having her normal 'conversation' with Draco and the next she's on the floor with Draco on her lap.

Oh my gosh! That's it, Hermione. You might have used magic by accident. It couldn't be anything else! It was just the both of us in the room! You know it Hermione. You did this.

"Ms. Granger," Professor Dumbledore started.

Hermione looked at Draco and then to Professor Dumbledore.

"I understand you might be feeling a little confused right now,"

A little?? Try a lot..

"But I can assure you there is nothing to worry about. This is not a result of what you have done,"

Hermione nodded, still feeling lost but slightly better. If she couldn't trust anyone she knew she could trust Professor Dumbledore.

"Then…"

"Why don't you go to your room first? Don't worry about Mr. Malfoy. He'll be alright. I'm just going to take him to the hospital wing for a check up," Professor Dumbledore said, cutting in.

Hermione nodded once again and returned to her room. She wandered around for a moment unaware of where she was heading.

"-HOW COULD YOU-?"

Hermione heard someone shouting. She looked up and noticed that she was in the Head's common room.

"You know better than this Ron. We can't! We both know what our prophecy is. Our destiny,"

She froze. She recognized both of the voices. It was Harry and Ron.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE OR WILL BE IN DANGER BUT WHAT ABOUT DRACO?! HERMIONE?"

"We can't do anything, Ron. We have to leave it like that. Everything will be ruined! EVERYTHING! The world! Voldemort! Our lives… other innocent human beings depend on it. We were the chosen ones. We can't do anything. Face it Ron. You have to let it go!"

Hermione could hear the sound of the table overturning and the sound of a chair creaking signaling someone's sitting on it.

"I just don't believe it Harry. We use to be able to enjoy making of fun Voldemort. We never knew how important this was and now… and now Hermione's involve and we can't even tell her. I just can't…"

Hermione could hear the sound of the table going back to its original position after Harry muttered a spell.

"Ron," Harry said as he sat next to him.

"When Professor Dumbledore told us about this. We knew this was the real thing. We knew we had to get it right,"

"I know Harry… I know,"

Hermione could hear nothing but the crackling of the fire then she heard the creaking of the stairs. She waited for a while until she was sure they weren't there anymore and she opened the door. She saw everything in its place. She took the nearest seat.

She felt so confused. Words couldn't explain her feelings. From Draco's appearance in the Order, to Draco passing out on her lap, to her best friends fighting over something they could not mention to her. She collapsed on the sofa feeling so tired.

"'mione! Wake up sleepy pig!"

Hermione heard a voice saying.

"Whaaat?"

"She's not getting up,"

She heard another voice. She was too lazy to figure who they belong to. She sat there with a blanket on her.

"WAKE UP HERMIONE!" Harry and Ron shouted simultaneously.

"OKAY! Okay! I'm up!" Hermione shouted back getting up from her chair.

"Is Malfoy up yet?" Hermione asked.

"Don't worry about him. He'll be fine," Harry said. He shot a look at Ron.

"Yeah. Don't worry. He'll be fine," Ron shot back a glance at Harry.

Hermione wasn't really convinced but she left it at that before they thought of something stupid.

"You aren't falling in love with him, are you?" Ron asked.

Hermione kept quiet for a while and then busted out laughing.

"Don't be stupid!" Hermione said fighting back her tears of laughter.

Or maybe…

Don't be stupid! Of course not! Hermione muttered

Are you sure? You might want to take back those words you said to Ron, Hermione.

Haha… no way! It's Draco! HELLO! Hermione muttered, fighting hard against her inner voice.

"Hermione... are you alright?" Harry asked, looking concerned.

"Yeah! Sure… tip top condition! I'm going to the library for a while, okay? Ciao," Hermione called out leaving the room.

"Braniacs," Ron muttered shaking his head after the door closed.

Hermione stayed in the library, searching for answers. She spent hours after hours, books after books but nothing. Not a single damn thing Hermione's inner voice said. All of a sudden she thought she heard Draco's voice in her head, calling for help. She thought she was going insane. Not once but many times she heard his voice as if his consciousness was trying to tell Hermione something. It started since she walked out the door of the Hall and it didn't end. She thought she was just deprived of sleep.

It was already midnight by the time she was done. She called it a day and went into her room. The minute she fell on her bed, she fell asleep.

She woke up and got dressed. All of a sudden she heard someone, no wait, everyone screaming. She got out of her room and saw everyone everywhere. They were running, trying to get out the place.

"Harry!" Hermione called out finally seeing Harry and Ron.

"What's happening?" She continued.

"Voldemort! Death eaters! HERE!"

Harry said panting. Hermione could see Harry holding a sword in one hand and his wand in the other. She saw the word Gryffindor on the sword. She knew it was the same sword as the one from the Chambers. By the time Hermione manage to mutter another word, Harry left running.

"'MIONE! LEAVE RIGHT NOW! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS,"

Hermione saw Ron running with his wand on his hand. He ran towards Harry and caught up. Don't be stupid! As if I would run at a time like this. She followed them, running while taking her wand out. She finally caught up with Harry and Ron and then she looked around.

Oh my god.

They were surrounded by death eaters but Harry and Ron fought them all off with a single spell. How did they do that? But there wasn't much time to think. Hermione saw Draco facing Voldemort. Harry fought his way towards Draco. Ron fought all the death eaters surrounding both Hermione and him. Hermione reached for her wand. No! It can't be!

"HERMIONE! GET YOUR WAND OUT!" Harry shouted.

She stood, cold as ice. She tried searching for her wand but it wasn't there. She had left it in her room.

Draco could see Harry and Ron surrounded by death eaters. He wanted to help but he had problems of his own. All of a sudden he spotted a girl among the death eaters. What's Hermione doing here?! He dodged a spell but he was a little too late it hit him on the arm and left him bleeding. Draco could hear Voldemort cruel, shrewd laughter.

"I should really stop playing games with my little rat, shouldn't I?" Voldemort said in between his laughter and then he continued.

"It was such shame! You could've been a good Death Eater, Draco! Avada Kedavra!"

Draco heard the spell and quickly avoided it. It was only an inch to his death. All of a sudden he saw Voldemort's wand moving his aim.

"Let's see how much it pains you to kill your loved one," Voldemort said moving his wand to Hermione. "Avada Kedavra,"

Draco saw it coming. Draco ran towards Hermione, getting hit. He wanted to tell her, he wanted to tell her how he loved her but there was no time. Immediately, his heart stopped and he collapsed.
