A/N-The chapter title has nothing to do with the chapter context. I just like it :)

Previously on Miss Magic

"Hermione...please wake don't do this to me. You can't leave me, can't! Open you eyes for Merlin's sake,Granger! Hermione!" Draco held Hermione close to limp arms fell to her side. Draco took out his wand.

"Ennervate!" It didn't work. Draco sobbed into her shoulder.

"Please,Hermione...please don't die on me."

And now...

"Well, well, well. Lupin has come to save the day, hasn't he?" Voldemort moved closer to the group of Aurors and the others. He held his wand high, as if demanding they bow before him. Lupin stepped forward.

"You have no place left to hid. You fight Harry, you fight us all," he said. Voldemort sneered.

"Well, then let's not waste any time shall we?" Before anyone could respond, Voldemort had raised his wand and shot a spell.

"Crucio!" Lupin dove to the ground and shot a spell of his own.

"Incarcerous!" Thick ropes shot out like snakes and wrapped themselves around Voldemort. Voldemort gave a wicked smile. He spread his arms out against the ropes and they broke. Harry hid behind a tree.

He could see who else had come to help him: Tonks, Mad-Eye, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Elphias Doge, Mr and Mrs. Weasley, Dedalus Diggle, Hestia Jones, and more. He felt stronger by the moment. He had everyone behind him, helping him. He came out from the trees and stood tall. Ron came running into the battle and Harry ran over to him.

"Where's Hermione?" Harry yelled. He gave a good look at Ron. There were streaked of dirt running down his face,as if he's been crying.

"Harry... there was too much sm-smoke. We-we don't know if she's alive," Ron stuttered. Harry stood there in shock. There was no possible way that could happen. He didn't think of it. He didn't have time.

"Come on. We have to end this."

The battle was turning into a blood bath. Spells were shooting every second in every which way. The Death Eaters were winning from the looks of it. Ron ran into the woods and found his father fighting a masked Death Eater.

"Take that! And that!" Mr. Weasley shouted as spells flew from his wand. Ron joined him. "Ronald what are you doing?"

His father yelled."Helping you!" Ron replied. Together they fought. Harry found his way through the trees and got to his target. He hadn't realized that Ginny, Neville, Luna, Seamus, Dean and other students had shown up later. Voldemort stood there with his wand holding Ginny, Luna and Lavender in a tight rope. Harry was, to say the least, pissed off.

Tonks stood alone and fought of one of the Death Eaters.

"Petrificus Totalus!" The Death Eater laughed and ducked.

"Crucio!" Tonks screamed in agony. She felt hot white knives piercing her skin. She lay on the cold ground shaking. The Death Eater raised his wand.

"Avada-"

"Protego!" A shield was cast between them. Tonks looked to her right to see Remus Lupin before she passed out. Everyone was running in every way. The Aurors had done all they could. They were losing the fight.

It could have been hours he stayed like that. Draco sat there on the ground with Hermione. He could hear the screams and shouts of people in the battle, but he couldn't leave Hermione alone. He couldn't leave her again. The fire from the house was settling down. In his hurry to get Hermione out, he forgot about using his wand. He picked her up and carried her to a safer spot. He lay her down and kissed her lips.

"I'm sorry, Hermione. I have to help everyone else. I love you." Draco gave her hand a light touch and ran into the woods.

When Draco reached the chaos, he found several masked Death Eaters raising their wands to one of the Weasley twins- Fred Weasley perhaps, he wasn't sure. He had no wand with him for protection. One of the Death Eaters raised their wand.

"Conjuctavia!" she yelled. Fred immediately covered his eyes as he screamed in pain. The other Death Eaters laughed along. Draco stood close by ready to intrude when he heard the Death Eater's voice. It was his mother. Draco tightened his grip on his wand and raised his arm.

"Evanesco!" He whispered harshly. Suddenly the pack of Death Eaters disappeared. Draco ran over to Fred who was lying on the ground covering his eyes.

"Aguamenti." Draco pointed his wand at Fred's eyes and the burning feeling went away. Draco grabbed Fred's hand and help him stand up. His eyes were red and puffy.

"Alright, Weasley?" Draco asked. Fred gave him an odd look and nodded. Draco rolled his eyes.

"Long story short: I've switched sides. I help you now. No questions, let's go." Fred didn't quite understand, but chose that this was not the right time for questions. He and Draco ran towards the voices in the woods and fought their hardest.

It seemed like they were fighting forever. Harry dodged curse after curse. It seemed like it would never end. He found himself in a clearing as Death Eaters chased after him. Voldemort showed up right in front of Harry. Harry raised his wand ready to end it for good.

"Sonorus!"Voldemort said." You have lost. Succumb to me and you will be spared. Do not be foolish."

His booming voice had ceased all fighting. They all gathered around Harry and Voldemort. Harry looked around. All the people that had fought for him were either bruised and bloodied or dead. He did not want to think of the latter.

Draco ran to the very front to see what would happen. All the time he had been fighting he had never given up on Hermione.

Come on, Potter! Win for Hermione!

"Well, dear Harry. I see you have no one left to die for you this time. How very wise."

"And you have no one else to kill this time, Tom," Harry spoke softly. He was angry. His best friend might be dead and so may others. He raised his wand. No more banter.

"Goodbye, Tom. Avada Kedavra!"

"Protego!" They shot their spells at the same time. The crowd around them seemed to not be able to breath. Harry's weak spell, barely green, ricocheted off the shield and back towards him. Voldemort smiled evilly.

Harry could see the dim green light coming his way, knowing that the spell could still be effective, he dived to the ground. Voldemort stood there, angrier then he's ever been. Harry stood up, ready to end it forever when Voldemort gave a swish of his wand and disappeared. The last thing they all heard was the voice of Voldemort.

"You may have won this time, but I will return,Potter. You will not defeat me!" Then, all the Death Eaters followed. With waves of their wands they disappeared. The Aurors stood there in silence. They had won this time,but who was to say it will be that way again? Together the surviving people collected the bodies that fell during the fight, and apparated back to Hogwarts.

Harry, Ron, Ginny, Draco, Neville, and Luna ran back out the woods. They stopped dead when they saw the burnt house.

"Oh,dear..." Luna said softly. Harry turned to Ron.

"Where's Hermione?" He asked. Ron felt a lump in his throat once more. He looked around to Draco.

"Malfoy had her. I don't know if..." He trailed off

"Where is Hermione?" Harry asked once more. Draco's face turned downcast. He walked over to where he lay Hermione.

The rest followed. Hermione still wouldn't wake.

"She must've taken in too much smoke. I think...but I don't know. I... I...," Draco spoke softly. Harry and Ron dropped to their knees. She wasn't breathing. They had decided to take her to Hogwarts, where everyone else was headed.

It was horrible. When the group arrived there were bodies laying across the House tables. People who were unhurt or worried for their loved ones stood by. They set Hermione on one of the tables as Madam Pomfreycame over to care for her. She did a few spells and lay a blanket over her.

"The child is alright. She took in a bit too much smoke from that burning house, but she should be alright once I give her this," Madam Pomfrey went over to a bag she had filled with medicine. As she was looking for the medicine, Harry asked her how she knew about the house fire.

"Oh, Deary, I know lot's of things. Plus, it helps to have a house-elf bring a scrap of news now and then." Harry, in all the fray, couldn't help but smile a little at the Healer. Madam Pomfrey came back with a round, red bottle. She opened Hermione's mouth and poured a thick, red liquid down her throat. Neville scrunched his face in disgust.

"There! She should awake in a few hours. The medicine clears away any damages done to the body on the inside." With that, Madam Pomfrey hurried away to attend to a new patient. Harry, Ron, and Draco stayed by Hermione as Neville and Luna went to look at who else was hurt. Draco sat by Hermione and held her hand. He desperately hoped she would be OK.

Harry couldn't stand to look at Hermione like this, so he stood up and walked around. He braced himself for what he would see. Lying on the table next to where Hermione lay were the bodies of Lavender Brown, Seamus Finnigan, Alicia Spinnet, and Oliver Wood. They had all died fighting for him. He forced himself to look on the other two tables. Mad-Eye Moody, Elphias Doge, Hestia Jones, and, worst of all, Remus Lupin. He felt the familiar knot form in his stomach as he stared into the open eyes of Remus. He turned away and returned back to Hermione.

"Please, Hermione," he whispered," Don't go the way they did."

Hours had passed by. Draco sat by Hermione, still never taking his eyes off her. He was about to give up hope when he felt his hand being squeezed. His heart began to beat faster.

"Potter, Weasley!" Harry and Ron, who had been nodding off, woke with a start. Draco gestured at Hermione. Hermione's head began to moved slightly. Then her eyes opened. No one said a word. They feared it was a dream. Hermione then began to cough. Harry, Ron, and Draco immediately helped her sit up. Ron gave her a glass of water. Once she finished her water she spoke.

"What..what happened?" Her voice was raspy. All three of them began to speak at the same time. Hermione held her hand up and pointed at Harry.

"You took in too much smoke when the house burnt down. After that Voldemort and I begin to fight. He left before anyone could really win. It's not over yet." Hermione stared at Harry with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry," she said. She held her neck as she spoke. Her throat hurt.

"Nothing to be sorry about. We'll get him next time." Harry smiled. Ron tapped Hermione shoulder's and she turned to him.

"If you ever, ever scare us like that again, Hermione, I will kill you," he said. Hermione smiled and gave him a tight hug.

Then she pulled Harry and Draco in the hug. She never felt better. When they pulled away, her eyes caught Draco's. Harry and Ron rolled their eyes and stood up to leave them alone. After a few seconds Draco spoke.

"You're alright?" he asked. Hermione nodded. He held her hand lightly.

"Draco?" he said. Draco lifted his head to look at her.

"Do you really believe what I said? About... Seamus?" Hermione spoke quietly and slowly, as if he would explode with anger right there. Draco lowered his head, and then looked back at Hermione.

"Yes, I believe you. I'm sorry about how I acted for the passed few weeks. I didn't know that I hurt you so bad." Hermione wrapped her arms around Draco. He held her tighter.

"It's alright,Draco. I love you no matter what." Draco pulled back and looked at her.

"You know what I really wanna do right now?"

"What?"

"I really want to kiss you right now."

"So what's stopping you?" Draco grinned and leaned in to kiss her. He never felt any better then he did at that moment. Harry and Ron were watching from afar.

"They seriously need a room," Ron commented. Harry laughed and walked over to join them. Though the battle had just ended and another one might start, he felt just fine living in this moment with his best friends.
