"Oh my god..." Hermione whispered. "Is...is that why..."

"Is that why what Hermione?" Draco asked.

"Is that why I'm so good at magic? Is that why I was able to withstand the Cruciatus curse for so long?"

"They TORTURED you?" Hermione's friends yelled.

"I..." Hermione nodded her head.

"Hermione..I need to know what happened while you were held captive."

"Well...Lucius Malfoy was about to kill me using the Killing Curse..."

"WHAT? THAT EVIL BASTARD!" Draco roared.

"Mr. Malfoy...please let her continue..."

"Er...right...sorry..." Draco blushed. "Continue love."

Hermione giggles a bit, "Right...so Voldemort comes a tries to get information about Harry out of me, but I wouldn't let up... he then uses the torture curse...he even kicked me a few times...I stayed strong, I would never let him get to me."

Harry smiled and walked over to one of his best friends and gave her a huge hug, "I am so sorry Hermione...I wasn't able to protect you..."

"Hey...I'm a big girl now...I don't need protection." Hermione laughed. "Professor? There;s something bothering me..."

"Yes? What is it Hermione?" Dumbledore asked.

"What will happen? To me that is? Will my magic grow stronger? Will I be able to control it if it gets stronger?"

"Well...I believe that your magic will get stronger...much stronger...I have a feeling that Voldemort will begin to feel that a powerful being was resurrected...and there may be a chance that he'll try to either kill you or try to get you to his side..."

Hermione whimpered and Draco wrapped an arm around her and squeezed, "Don't worry Hermione...no one will ever hurt you...or take you away from me...not again."

Hermione leaned into him and smiled.

"Oh yes! There was something I wanted to ask you Hermione...who took you out of the castle? Lucius Malfoy couldn't have apparated and disapparated out of Hogwarts..."

"I have no idea how I got out...but I know that Pansy Parkinson took me to him..."

"Pansy? How do you know?" Draco asked angrily.

"Well...your father said something...he said that Pansy told him about us..."

"That bitch..." Luna said. Everyone looked at her. "What?" she dreamily asked, wondering why they were staring at her funny.

"Did...you just say 'bitch' Luna?" Ginny asked the Ravenclaw.

"Yes..." Luna tilted her head to the side in confusion. "Why?"

"Well...you don't seem like the type of person who would say words like that... I mean you're really nice..." Ron said

"Oh...well...I guess the Blibbering Humdinger got to me..."

Everyone laughed.

Hermione smiled at her friends and at Draco, "I love you Draco."

He bent down to kiss her, "I love you too."

Heat crept up Harry and Neville's cheeks. Ginny saw the color of their faces and got worried.

"Harry? Neville? Is everything alright?" Ginny asked. Harry grabbed Ginny and Neville took Luna and they kissed them.

Ron nearly fainted, Ginny and Luna blushed a deep red after they were kissed.

"Oh...Luna...I'm so sorry! I..." but she kissed him again.

"Thank you Neville" Luna smiled.

"H-Harry..." Ginny stuttered.

"Uh...um...er... I love you Gin." Harry grinned sheepishly.

Ginny matched his grin and kissed him.

"Did you do that?" Draco whispered to Hermione.

"I guess...after I kissed you...well they reacted so suddenly..."

"Hermione...both magic and love are mysterious things..." Dumbledore smiled. "Now...I suggest that you all head to bed. Hermione, stay in the Hospital Wing if you wish. Off to bed pip pip."

Luna and Neville held hands as they headed towards the Ravenclaw common room. Harry laid an arm around Ginny's shoulder, Ron staring at them intensely.

"Are you staying in the Hospital Wing?" Draco asked Hermione.

She nodded.

"Alright then...I'll stay with you." Draco said getting on the bed.

Hermione's eyes lit up and she smiled. The two got comfortable and slowly fell asleep, happy to be back in each other's arms.
