Epilogue
Hermione wiped tears from her eyes as she looked down over the crystal monument that had been erected upon the grounds, etched in gold, the name of every wizard lost during the war to the goblins. The names she knew were ones she could never forget as she read; Kingsley, Bill, and Fleurs name to herself. She couldn't help but long for them, the pain being renewed as it had been at the ceremony when Lucius had created the monument. It was a ceremony that had touched the hearts of all who were there. None more so than the Malfoy's as Hermione looked to see Draco his head bowed his lips muttering words she could not hear and would never learn. His fingers gently resting upon his mothers name. "I'm sorry Draco." Hermione said as she knelt beside the grieving man.
"I've taken my vengeance." Draco said as he lifted his eyes and turned towards Hermione. "I will carry on, its what she would have wanted." Draco though then forced a smile. "I don't know if she would have approved of whom I love though." He said as he wrapped his arms around her, his forehead resting upon hers as their eyes both closed holding back the tears that they knew would fall if they dared opened them. "I'm so-" Draco had started to say when he felt Hermione's fingers press against his lips.
"Don't. Just don't" Hermione said behind veiled eyes. "We will carry on, we have to. We can't forget the past,nor forget what brought us to this point. We can push onward though and make a new world its what we will have to do."
Draco slowly moved her fingers and tilted his head as he kissed her gently. "We can, together." He said after he broke the kiss. "Ronald has told me that the rest of the world though is in chaos. Russia is on the verge of Collapse, Bulgaria is holding out with the aid of Durmstrang. America has closed all its borders and its wizards have enacted a shield protecting whats left of their people within some state called Kansas while we're not sure of the far east." Draco then placed his hands upon her shoulders. "We were enemies, but we are now united and the world trembles, as they know that they have become the enemies of our enemies. Its our turn to take the fight to them" Draco said, eyes narrowed the Malfoy smirk creeping up slowly upon his face.
