*Here's a really good chapter for the two stories I don't own, I think all of you will like it too!
Draco hadn't expected this. Looking down, he barely hid his horror as Potter, Granger, and Weasley were brought into his home. Even though Potter's face was swollen and misshapen, he recognized him, along with the others. When asked if her recognized them, he lied.
When Kagome came into the room with his mother, he was scared. If Kagome recognized them and said that she did, they wouldn't trust him anymore. Whether luck or misfortune, his aunt became distracted by the sword in one of the snatcher's hands and Kagome didn't have a chance to speak.
The boys were thrown into the dungeon while Aunt Bellatrix unleashed her fury on Hermione. Draco flinched and turned away as the girl screamed, feeling like he was going to be sick. Then Kagome stepped forward, halting his aunt with a gentle hand on her shoulder. "If the mud-blood had known anything, she would have said so by now. If you want to know if you've been betrayed and exactly who did it, it's better to go to the source. Bring up the goblin and ask him if anyone has gotten the sword or the horcrux in your vault."
She agreed and had the goblin brought up. Just as Bellatrix was in the middle of her interrogation, they were attacked by Harry and Ron. Draco saw the confusion on Kagome's face as her hands shook, like she couldn't figure out who to fight. The potion had to be wearing off again. Just as he was thinking that it could be his chance to save Kagome, his aunt put a knife to Hermione's throat. She told him to grab their wands and he grabbed Kagome as well to keep her out of the line of fire. Potter glared at them the whole time; knowing that they were controlling her. Draco wanted to tell him that he hated what was being done to her, that he was disgusted with himself every time he gave her that potion. But it was pointless, so he kept his mouth shut.
When the chandelier dropped and Potter came for the wands, he doubted that he would get another chance. He wanted to throw Kagome at him so they could take her with them. Draco's eyes met his again for a half-second, and Potter grabbed Kagome to pull her back with his friends. Draco made a show of screaming for Kagome before Weasley stunned him.
Yes, take her with you. Get her away from Voldemort so that she can no longer be poisoned by that potion. Keep her safe!
The house elf was about to apparate, they were escaping... and Kagome pushed away and jumped into Draco's arms. They all heard Potter and his friends calling for her as they disappeared, but she stayed. His Aunt began ranting, the entire house going into an uproar, while leaving the two teenagers lying on the floor. When he was finally able to sit up with her lying across his chest, he felt her hand reach into his jacket for the potion.
Her clear eyes met his. "I remember, Draco. I remember everything while I'm under the potion. I know why you're doing this." He felt like he was going to be sick again. She knows that I'm the one doing this to her. Before his thoughts could go any further, she took his face between her hands and kissed him. He felt so much in that one moment of their lips pressed together before she pulled away, leaving him in a daze as she smiled at him. "You are so much stronger than you know. Thank you for protecting me and your family. And you should know, that potion might make me think that I want to honor my father, but it can't make me love you. Only I can do that."
Tears pricked at his eyes. I haven't lost her. She's still in there and I can still get her back. She says that she truly cares about me. If I can hold onto that, we might be able to make it through this alive.
Her gaze became stern as she uncorked the bottle. "Don't you ever try to push me away like that again. I would never leave you behind like that. If I go, I'm taking all of you with me." Before he could decipher exactly what she meant, Kagome had drunk the potion and passed out against his chest.
He had tried to snatch it away, but he wasn't fast enough. That had been the real Kagome and he didn't want to lose her again. Hugging her to his chest, Draco did his best to hold onto what she had told him. She had stayed to protect him and his parents. She had stayed to for him. At that moment, there was no doubt in his mind or heart that he loved her and would do anything to save her.
AN1: This chapter was probably redone the most out of all the chapters, it took a long time to fit Kagome into this scene where she wasn't overshadowing anyone but her presence was recognized. I also wanted her to "wake up" again and really talk to Draco, if only for a second. Warm-Fuzzies and please review!
AN2: And I've been having an issue with posting new chapters; I post once and it posts it twice. Don't know why, and can't figure out how to fix it, just please let me know when it happens and I'll try to do something.
