Fairytales

---------

"Hey." - Draco

"Hey." - Hermione

---------

"What did you do?" - Ginny

"I didn't do anything, I was trying to get his stubborn arse in there to talk to her." - Harry

"Well it worked." - Ginny

"What?" - Harry

"He's in there talking to her right now." - Ginny

---------

"How have you been?" - Draco

"Good." - Hermione

"I'm sorry I haven't been around, I've just been.... busy." - Draco

"Too busy to come and see me?" - Hermione

"You know that's not what I meant." - Draco

---------

"Maybe this wasn't such a great idea." - Harry

"You think?" - Ginny

---------

"What do you want me to say?" - Draco

"Nothing. Just don't say anything." - Hermione

"I thought it would be easier if I kept away from you." - Draco

"Stop trying to decide what's best for me." - Hermione

"Someone has to be the responsible one." - Draco

"What's that supposed to mean?" - Hermione

"It means that this relationship is obviously never going to work." - Draco

"And whose fault is that?" - Hermione

---------

"What's going on?" - Ron

"Malfoy is in there talking to her." - Ginny

"What!? You let Malfoy in there?" - Ron

"They need to sort this out." - Harry

"Am I the only one here who hasn't gone completely insane?" - Ron

---------

"We just need to work through this." - Hermione

"I can't let you risk your life, this isn't negotiable." - Draco

"This isn't up to you." - Hermione

---------

"We've already established it was possible a bad idea." - Harry

"You think?" - Ron

---------

"You seem to have this preconceived notion that if we stay together everything will work out for the best. That's not how real life works." - Draco

"And you seem to think that good triumphing over evil is something you only read about in fairytales." - Hermione

"Isn't it?" - Draco

---------

"There has to be something we can do?" - Ginny

"You mean besides causing an unfortunate accident for Malfoy in potions tomorrow." - Ron

"Ron this is serious." - Ginny

"Who's joking." - Ron

---------

"What do you want from me Hermione. I can't be some knight in shinning armor." - Draco

"I don't want a knight in shining armor, I just want to be with you. No expectations, no pretenses, just you " - Hermione

"You know the risks and you know how I feel about you but we can't keep going round in circles. If you really want this, then there'll be no going back. " - Draco

"I can accept that." - Hermione

"You know I'll never forgive myself if you get hurt." - Draco

"I won't" - Hermione
