Chapter 6 [Last Chapter]
************************************************************************
Hermione sat on the bed and opened the box. There was nothing inside. . .
She started to cry.
//I'm sorry Harry. I know you're mad. Just to make it up to you I will not meet with Malfoy tonight. . .//
Hermione's wail filled her room that Ginny rushed inside in panic. "What's wrong Mione? It's almost 7pm and I reckon Malfoy's already waiting for you"
"I'm not going. Kindly tell Malfoy I'm not meeting him. I can't do this. . . I love Harry and pursuing a connection with Malfoy is wrong. Besides, I didn't tell Malfoy that I'm going. You did!"
Hermione cried even more.
Ginny ran to Hermione and embraced her friend tight. "I'm sorry Mione, I'm really sorry"
"Just. . . just tell him I can't go"
"Okay. I'll be right back Mione. You hush now ayt?" Ginny pulled away and exeunt out to the library.
************************************************************************
"WHAT?!" yelled Draco in disbelief.
"I'm really sorry Malfoy. Hermione doesn't want to meet you. Well I told you about thrice already that she loves Harry. She can't cheat on him while he's away. She's a real Gyrffindor---very loyal indeed"
"No! Weasley, let me talk to her"
"I can't. She doesn't want to talk to you. Just let her be. Don't make it more complicated"
Silence.
Draco turned away from Ginny and the latter waited until Draco spoke another word.
Draco faced Ginny again and said firmly, "I love her and I'll fight for this love. . . whatever it takes. . ."
***********************************************************************
Footsteps came storming in. Draco ran towards Hermione and shook her by her shoulders. "What's wrong Granger? Tell me!"
Hermione's sobs went louder and heavier. "I can't do this! If you haven't noticed, I have feelings for you Malfoy. . . but I love Harry!"
"And I love you Granger! That's all you need to know!"
"Don't push me to cheat on Harry!"
"I'm just asking you to love me in return. Is that too much to ask?"
"Yes! My principles would mean nothing if I'll go against it. Leave now Malfoy. Don't ever try to show your face to me again"
Draco wrapped Hermione at once in his arms. "Granger, please give me a chance"
Hermione's tears flowed in a different air. It was clearer that she had feelings for the beautiful man that held her tightly in his arms. "Malfoy, I can't. Don't push me any further or I'll kill myself before I let myself succumb to this absurdity"
Draco pulled away in shock of Hermione's words. "You will not do that. . . You're not serious of killing yourself are you?"
"I am. Because of you, Harry's mad at me. I told him about what happened exactly here and that I kissed you back twice. I sent his gift back but I saw that he sent it back to me---only that the gift wasn't inside anymore. Harry wouldn't do such thing if he isn't mad!. . . and now I know he's more than mad. It's your fault why Harry might be condemning me to hell right now! Well fine! I like you and you like me but Malfoy, if you do have feelings for me, you will not wish me bad. It's like living hell on earth if Harry's mad at me. He's the only one I'm holding onto right now. My parents just had a divorce and it's towing on me right now, add to the problems you've added and it's goddamn affecting me all at the same time! You don't know how it feels to have such pressure! You always have things your way and you don't have to plan much about your future. If I get really fed up with this, I'll never have second thoughts of committing suicide again!"
"Again? Just so you know, I do get pressured too! For your information, my father needs a grandson because he hates me right now. He hates me because of the accident that I've caused. I was on my way home in my car with my older brother when we hit a speeding truck. Tough luck I was drunk so I got all the blame. Father wouldn't have me as heir to his possessions that's why he wants me to have a child. And sure thing he's going to get it! If he's expecting to have a grandchild after I get settled at work at the Ministry, well he's got to condition himself to get it before this year ends! It just so happened that I like you and I've decided to have you as the mother of my child---only to get back at that hate my Father has for me!"
Hermione was dumbfounded at the spot. She didn't expect for her enemy to be caught up with such suppressed emotions and plans---wait. Did he just say MOTHER OF MY CHILD?
"I'm not giving it to you Malfoy! Such sick mind you have"
"I may be sick but Hermione, do know that I love you. I know it's short notice but I must've felt like this way back. . . it just so happened that I'm pressured too, just like you", replied Draco with a calmer voice.
"You could always have another woman to bear your child! Why ME? Besides, I'm not giving my self to you"
"If you won't give it up to me with me stooping this low, swallowing my pride, then I reckon I'll have you give it up by force"
*SLAP!*
Hermione's firm hand met Draco's pale cheek hard.
Draco was rubbing the area where he was hit when someone hurriedly entered the room and gained at him. The person was too fast that Draco didn't see a strong fist directed towards his face.
"NO!" Hermione yelled as the fist met Draco.
Draco fell flat on the floor due to the impact and when he got the chance, he turned his head around to the person who punched him and glared the same glare that students at Hogwarts learned to fear.
Before Draco could have said anything, the man said, "Don't you ever come near Hermione again!"
"Harry!" Hermione was about to take her arms around Harry only that she remembered what wrong she has done and she supposed that Harry was still mad at her even if he came back for her. Her arms were already up in the air, ready to take Harry only that she hesitated, and so she dropped them to the side and let its weight bore her down to her faults.
Surprisingly, Harry took her in an embrace instead. . . so tight, so wonderful, that Hermione was more than thankful to be in Harry's arms again. "I'm sorry Mione. I shouldn't have left you. This is all my fault", said Harry in suppressed sobs.
"I thought you're angry at me"
"Angry? What gives you the idea? I was in a foreign country not knowing what exactly I should do without you around---knowing that you're not safe here and all. I pleaded to the Headmaster that he allows me to go back here so that I could fix it all up"
"You returned your gift only without the bracelet in it", retorted Hermione though confused.
"It was inside! I sent it back to you to let you know it's okay" Harry held Hermione tighter in his embrace. "I'm really sorry Hermione. I can't leave you again"
Hermione pulled away. "But Harry, where then is the bracelet you've sent?"
Draco immediately stood from the floor after recovering from the assault he received. He searched inside his pocket and out came his hand that threw something on Harry's face. . . the bracelet was with Draco all those while. . . he walked away and before leaving the room, he said, "There's that stupid bracelet you're bloody looking for. Now are you happy? Now I know I can never win your love Granger. . . even if I cheat on it myself. . ."

Done! That's the last chapter of one of my shortest fics. . . well this probably is the shortest, so yeah, hope you liked it. If otherwise, it's a- ok. I did this out of boredom so I didn't really put much effort in this. I was typing it from my written copy and I was like "This just sucks" the whole time. So anyway, it's done. This is the second fic I've managed to finish typing.
