*Chapter 10* Redemption
Can't Have You-LFO
Draco was patched up and on his way, but even as Mar continued to heal, she didn't wake up. Draco almost never left her side. He only left when Goyle or Harry/Ron dragged him away and forced him to eat something. Her parents came two days after the entire situation occurred. They thanked Draco profusely for saving their daughter. Their son on the other hand was sent to Azkaban and given the Dementor's Kiss. He wouldn't bother anybody ever again. Eventually, Mar's parents had to leave, but they trusted Draco to watch over their little girl.
A few days after Mar's parents left, Draco's family came. They had arrived late at night and found Draco at Mar's bedside, holding her hand and he had fallen asleep. They walked in and he stirred and looked right at his father. In very quiet and severe tones, he said, "She saved my life."
Lucius nodded his head. He had accepted her as suitable.
About a week, Madam Pomfrey really started to get nervous. Mar had yet to wake up and Draco had fallen into a silent depression. One night, Draco was holding her hand and spoke to her. "Mar, please wake up. He's gone and he won't come back. I'm safe; you're safe. Everything is alright now, just wake up Love, wake up."
He felt his hand being slightly squeezed and Mar's yellow eyes fluttered open. She glanced around then saw Draco and smiled. He laughed as she said, "You look like crap."
He planted a rough and passionate kiss which she eagerly returned. Madam Pomfrey just happened to walk in at this very moment and huffed loudly and the pair broke it up, falling into a fit of giggles. All was as it should be. Draco had his heart's desire back and Mar had found safety.
