Draco's pov
I felt a tugging hole in my chest. Ripping me open. I didn't know if I was asleep or awake part of me felt alert but the other part felt numb. I remembered the last thing I saw was Hermione's dead peaceful face.
I heard someone calling my name. The voice seemed so distant. I ignored it. I liked the dark it kept the unbearable pain from surfacing. As long as the pain was numb and I didn't have to face reality I was gonna be fine.
The person kept calling louder and louder. I felt someone shake me violently. I groaned as I lifted my hands to my head. My eyes slowly opened as I took in my surroundings. I was on the hospital floor. My cheeks were wet with crying. I was still wearing last night's outfit.
I looked up and expected to see Harry and Ron still miserable. But I was surprised to find them there smiling slightly. I was so confused. Hermione just died what the hell are they smiling about?
Even the nurse seemed happy. What the heck is wrong with this world?
"Hermione she's dead isn't she?" I mumbled quietly to the nurse who was helping me to my feet.
The nurse looked at me confusedly with her eyebrows pulled together in concentration. "Young man miss Granger is perfectly fine" She said as looked at me. Her tone questioned my sanity. I was wondered if I was insane myself.
I saw her die. I was sure. I kissed her and held her and pleaded with her to come back to me. How on earth was she alive?
I ran to the infirmary and found her sitting upright propped up on pillows. Her golden brown hair was loose and she was reading a book.
I stood there shocked my mouth wide open. My brain just froze. I must be hallucinating that's it. Yeah so any minute she's gonna disappear. She looked at me from her book and smiled brightly.
"Hey stranger" She said cheerily. Wow I thought to myself my mind did do her justice. I kept staring at her like an idiot expecting her to vanish at any moment. "You're not real" I mumbled a bit loudly.
She looked at me confusedly. "You're just a fragment of my imagination" I said to myself as I closed my eyes.
I counted to ten and when I opened my eyes she was still looking at me with interest.
"Oh my God" I said surprised. "You're really here" I murmured gently. "You're alive" I said a bit loudly and cheerfully. "Um yeah?" She asked confusedly.
I ran over to her and hugged her. She hugged me back. "You're alive" I murmured gently.
"Draco are you ok?" She asked with concern evident in her voice. She looked at me with pity.
I couldn't imagine what I looked like right now. I must've looked wild with my blonde hair all over the place.
"I've never been better" I said as I smiled at her. She smiled back at me. "So you mean you didn't and Ron and Harry where?" I said confusedly.
She nodded "Do you want me to pinch you?" She asked jokingly.
"Nuh uh" I said as I crossed my arms over my chest. "If this is a dream I don't ever wanna wake up" I said as I smiled at her fully.
I was so overwhelmed. I couldn't believe she was alive and right here in my arms.
"I thought I'd lost you" I said a little sadly as I hugged her. "I'm right here Draco" She said reassuringly. She hugged me tightly to prove her point. "It's just that the dream felt so real the pain was" I swallowed the lump in my throat shaking my head as if to get rid of the idea of the pain. It felt so real. But she was here now and that was all that mattered. "Let's go somewhere" She told me with a special twinkle in her eye. "Anywhere" I told her smiling. "Help me up" She said as she looked at me apologetically. I helped her get to her feet but I noticed she was still a bit wobbly. So I carried her once more bridal style.
She was about to protest. "Don't even think about protesting Hermione because in my arms is where you belong and I'm not letting you go" I said smirking at her. I expected her to argue back or something so I was surprised when she laid her head against my chest and sighed softly. "Fine" She said quietly. I looked at her and saw her roll her eye and smile at me.
We got to the lake our lake and noticed the sun was setting. I lay her down and we sat in our favorite position. Her head against my chest and arms wrapped securely around her waist. "It's so beautiful" She said dreamily as she stared at the sunset. "You're even more beautiful" I whispered in her ear. I saw her blush as she smiled at me slightly as she turned to look at me. "When did you get so cheesy?" She said jokingly. "Ever since I met you" I said as I smirked at her. She put her hands on her heart "Are you accusing me of being a bad influence?" She said in a dramatic voice. "I'm accusing you of just that" I said as I smiled even more widely at her. She smiled at me even more. "I don't know what I'd without you Draco" She said softly as she looked me in the eyes. "Its ok honey I'm right here I'm not going anywhere" I told her reassuringly as I rubbed her arm. " Draco I'm not better you know I'm just here…."She paused as she sighed. "At least for now" She mumbled quietly. She looked away nervously. I cupped her face in my hands. "This moment is really all we have and if this is all we get then I'm happy as long as I'm with you" I said sincerely. I saw her eyes fill with tears. She smiled at me. The smile was so beautiful and so meaningful I couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. She kissed back. And the kiss was sweet and simple
but perfect. She pulled away. I cleared my throat. "I got you something" I said awkwardly as I scratched my neck. "You don't have to get me anything Draco you know that" She said seriously. "I know but I want to" I said equally serious. "What is it?" She said her eyes lighting up like those of a child on Christmas. "Close your eyes" I whispered to her quietly. She looked at me confusedly. "Trust me" I told her quietly. "I do" She said quietly as she closed her eyes. I was stunned for a moment. I couldn't believe I actually won her trust back again. I was so ecstatic. I got the present out of my pocket. I turned around so I could see her back. I put it over her neck and fastened it. "Open your eyes" I whispered quietly in her ear. "Oh" She said surprised. She was wearing a silver necklace with the shape D. "D as in Draco?" She asked as she turned to look at me. "Well I yeah" I said awkwardly. She kissed me enthusiastically. Then she pulled away and started admiring it. "I got you something too" She said quietly. "But it's probably stupid" She said as she bit her lip nervously. "Baby whatever you got me I'm sure it's great" I said as I flashed her smile. She looked at me hesitantly. I saw her reach for her pocket and she got out two rings. "It's a purity and promise ring" She said nervously looking at my reaction. I smiled at her as I took mine. I noticed there was an engraving on it. "Amor verdadero que prometo por siempre " I read out loud confusedly. She looked at me and giggled. "It's Spanish" She said as she laughed at me. "Thank Goodness I thought I was really insane for a minute there" I said as I smiled at her. "What does it mean?" I asked curiously. "It means true love forever I promise" She said as she smiled at me. She looked so beautiful with the sun setting behind her. The glow on her face was splendid. "Forever" I said as I kissed her forehead. "I love you" I whispered quietly. "I love you too" She said as she leaned against me once more and we watched the sunset. We weren't exactly prepared for the unknown but as long as we had each other that was all that matters and it's really not that complicated.
