Chapter Ten: I'm Yours Reprise

In Defense Against the Dark Arts ~November 6th

Draco and Vegeta spent about 10 minutes in Defense Against the Dark Arts setting up the first obstacle course. The course consisted of open fields with various creatures such as blasted end skrewts, BIG spiders, and carnivorous plants. Another section required swimming across and battling water creatures. The end contained a boggart.

Draco was rather proud of their work knowing that the students would have a hard time. Vegeta just wore the scowl he always wore. They reported back to Snape that the course was finished.

"Class," Snape announced in his usual monotone voice, "We will now begin the obstacle course. You'll need to get into groups of 4 and because there are 36 in this class it should be perfect. One group will run the obstacle course, after ten minutes the next group will enter. If you should feel life threatened, shoot up bright red sparks and the TAs or myself will come. First group, go!"

The first group entered the obstacle course as the rest of the class waited. Vegeta and Draco were in the course flying above to watch for red sparks. Hermione, Ron, Bulma, and ChiChi were in the 9th and last group. Hermione was a bit nervous because Harry wasn't there as he was the best at this class, however it brought her comfort that Draco was flying above keeping watch.

"Group 9 go!" Snape half-yelled.

The four ran into the obstacle course and they first came across the gigantic spiders. Ron almost fainted but had to overcome his fears in that moment.

"Arania Exabe!" Ron shouted as a blue light erupted from his wand and shriveled the spiders in front of them.

The group continued their move into the vast lake. "Hold on to me!" ChiChi said as she jumped into the lake. The other three clung to her as she used a speed boost charm that sent the group sailing through the water. As they reached the other side of the lake they were greet by Draco.

"FILTHY LITTLE MUDBLOOD!" Draco yelled at Hermione as she felt taken back.

"You'll pay you little prick," Ron threatened as he went to punch Malfoy. Slowly Malfoy began transform into an enormous spider. Ron gasped and jumped back.

"Boggart!" Bulma yelled, "Ridikulus!" The boggart snapped into a balloon spittered every way. Hermione laughed at the balloon. They finished their course as they walked out of the course and into the classroom.

"Class," Snape announced, "You did exceptionally. No one needed help, so next obstacle course will be much more difficult."

Class ended but Draco needed to go somewhere. He had seen his form in the boggart. Not only does he have feelings for Hermione but that she's afraid of him; the boggart confirmed that.

~Please, I need to be somewhere alone~ Draco thought to himself as he walked along the 7th floor. Suddenly a door appeared in the wall. ~The Room of Requirements~ Draco thought to himself as he opened the door and walked in.

Looking in the corner, Draco remembered his mission. There stood the tall black Vanishing Cabinet. If he carried out his mission, he would gain favor with the Dark Lord but lose Hermione forever. If he destroyed the cabinet, Voldemort would attack his family. He couldn't lose his mother. His father could take care of himself but he was in league with the Dark Lord and would even betray his own family to fight with him. His mother never agreed to her husband's wishes to join the Dark Lord, but she would be in danger if Draco followed Vegeta advice.

His wand was pointed at the cabinet as thoughts ran through his head. ~My mother~ Draco began to let loose a few tears in frustration ~I can't.~ He lowered his wand. It just seemed impossible.

Draco heard the door close behind him. He whipped around to find Hermione. His wand was pointed at her; his eyes were red from tearing earlier.

"What are you doing here?" Draco threatened as his wand was still pointed at Hermione.

"Draco," Hermione whispered as she walked closer.

"Don't move," Draco threatened as if something had possessed him.

"Are you really going to attack me? Draco snap out of it," Hermione coaxed the angry blond. Draco slowly lowered his wand.

"What are doing here?" Draco seethed.

"I was looking for you honestly," Hermione replied walking up to Draco. He flinched when her hand touched his face, wiping away his tears. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Draco replied shaking his head. His heart began to pound around in his chest at the proximity of the girl he had crushed on for years.

"Don't lie to me," Hermione whispered as her voice cracked, "Vegeta told me about your mission." Tears began to run down her face. She threw her arms around Draco's waist and began to sob. "Please," Hermione cried, "Don't do it." Draco turned his head away.

"Granger," Draco said in a firm voice, "You're making like it is so easy. Whether I complete my mission or not, I will lose an important woman in my life."

"What do you mean?" Hermione cried looking into Draco's silver, yet stormy eyes.

"If I destroy the cabinet, he'll kill my mom. If I follow through, I'll lose you," Draco whispered solemnly. Hermione felt Draco's hands on her face wiping away her tears. "I don't want to lose you," Draco whispered to Hermione, "If Dumbledore can protect my mother, I'll destroy the cabinet."

"I don't want to lose you either," Hermione whispered.

"Hermione," Draco said smiling, "Would you mind being your worst enemy's girlfriend?"

"Only if you could love a Mudblood," Hermione whispered back.

"I think I already do," Draco said before he kissed his Mudblood.

"I'll talk to Dumbledore," Draco made up his mind.

"One thing though," Hermione said seriously, "We have to keep this on the down low for now. We don't know who is spying on us." Draco nodded before hugging Hermione.

"Oh and one more thing Draco," Hermione smiled and winked, "I'm yours." Draco smirked.
