* Draco's Angel *
* Chapter 7: Loosing Control *
* By Cyber Gal *
"Malfoy I'm going to kill you!" Harry screamed at the top of his lungs. He had chased Draco outside of the tent and into the surrounding woods. It was very dark outside and when Harry's eyes had finally adjusted, Draco was no where to be seen. "Malfoy, I will drop out of school and dedicate my life to you're death!"
"I highly doubt that Potter. Dumbledore would have you're neck," came Draco's voice from behind a clump of trees. Dammit, Draco cursed at himself. He hadn't meant to say that out loud, but whenever Draco was around Harry, it just seemed to happen.
"You're slashing wit astounds me Malfoy. Do go on, it gives me more of a reason to beat the crap out of you."
"Believe me Potter. You couldn't beat me up if I was strapped down to a table with my arms and legs tied behind my back!" Shut up! Draco yelled at himself. Malfoy you're just going to get yourself killed. On a normal day it wouldn't have bothered Draco to be matched against Potter. But today was different. Harry was angry and he looked true to his word. Draco felt a lump in his throat as he started to think of what was going to happen when Harry finally caught up to him. "Come to think of it, even my Great Grandmother could beat me up worse then you could Potter. But I'd rather not get into that story. She wasn't a very liked woman. No not indeed, turning all those muggels into gerbils gave her a bad reputation. You know, those gerbils looked a lot like Weasley. I mean there's a real resemblance there-"
"Ha ha ha ha!" Harry laughed sarcastically. "You better take that back or I'll come over there and stick my hand down your throat and rip out your lungs. But don't worry, I won't kill you. NO Malfoy, it would give me much more pleasure to watch you suffer."
"I'd rather die then so much as give you pleasure," Draco answered stepping out from his hiding place and clenching his hands into fists.
"Then you better say your good byes now because your time is almost up," Harry said taking a step closer to Draco, a devilishly crazy grin spreading across his face. "Well first it was your mother and now it's going to be you. Too bad I didn't get the gratitude of killing her."
At this point, Harry didn't even now what he was saying. It was like something inside of him had snapped. But then again, the anger had always been there, trapped inside and sealed away. Harry had always been the nice guy. Sure, he got angry and mad like most people do, but he had never shown it much. Seeing Hermione with Draco had made those walls crumble down, releasing the beast within.
What Harry had just said was too much for Draco to handle. He started forward and lunged at Harry, tackling him to the ground. They both fell hard onto the forest floor, in a mad scramble to get up. Draco, knowing that there was no way for him to beat Harry today, did whatever he could to try and get away.
"I don't think so Malfoy!" Harry said grabbing Draco's foot and pulling him back down.
"Potter this is all a misunderstanding," Draco pleaded once Harry had pinned him to the ground. "Just let me explain."
"On I see. You kissing Hermione was an accident right?" Harry replied tightening his grip on Draco. "I've got a better idea," Harry finished and hit Draco hard in the stomach. He was so angry at that moment, not just at Draco but at everything. Harry didn't stop hitting until he felt a pair of strong hands pulling him off of Draco.
"Harry, calm down." It was Sirius. Harry turned to face him, dropping his bloody hands from Draco. Hermione was there too; looking more worried then ever. He felt very dizzy at the moment. Everything was spinning and Harry couldn't remember where he was or even what he was doing. And suddenly everything went black.
"Hermione," it was Sirius again. "Let me get Harry back to the tent first and then I'll come back and get Draco." As soon as Sirius left, Hermione rushed to Draco's side, clutching his hand tightly in hers.
"Hey," he whispered back barley audible. Draco looked horrible. His face was smeared with blood, his robes were torn, and he was clutching his rib cage like it was broken.
"Oh God Draco. I'm so sorry," Hermione said sincerely.
"Please don't apologize. I told you I hated apologies," Draco answered opening one of his swelling eyes. "It wasn't your fault. I should have known better. It never could have worked anyway. I mean you and me? What were we thinking?"
"Draco stop," Hermione pleaded. "We could make it work."
"We come from two different sides Hermione. And let's face it. I'm destined to be one of the darkest wizards there ever was and you're supposed to help Potter on the Light Side. It could never work." Hermione dropped her eyes from his gaze. Draco felt horrible. He did love her, in fact, she was the first person he had ever loved, but he didn't want to hurt her. Letting her go was painful, but he knew she would be better off.
"If that's what you want Draco," he replied softly still not looking back at him.
"I don't want you to get hurt."
"I can take care of myself!"
"Hermione, I know you can. Do you think I like doing this? Do you think I want to let you go? I don't. I love you Hermione but if you stay with be it'll be the death of you in one way or another."
"If you loved me you would let me stay with you."
"God Hermione why must you be so stubborn? I'm doing this for you!" Draco yelled back at her.
"Draco I know I am putting myself in danger. I know that, I'm not stupid. But I'm doing this because I love you. I'm willing to put my life in danger so I can be with you. I'd rather live a short life and be with you then live a long life never knowing what could have been. Just please understand me."
"If you stay with me you'll be putting yourself in danger you know."
"Yes I know that."
"Alright Hermione," Draco sighed. He loved her but he didn't want her to be put in danger. Hermione smiled up at him. She knew what she was doing and she was ready to take on that challenge. Whatever was to come in the future, she would be ready for it. Together the two of them could fight it. Hermione smiled to herself as she remembered Hagrid's quote at the end of their fourth year. 'What would come, would come…and they would just have to meet it when it did.'

"What in God's name happened here?" Lupin asked shocked.
"To be totally truthful I don't even know. Hermione ran into my tent screaming like a banshee an told me that Harry and Draco were outside and about to kill each other," Sirius explained laying Harry down on his bed.
"What? Why?" Lupin asked still confused.
"I don't know. Hopefully Hermione or Draco will be able to answer that one. I mean the two boys have always been enemies but they've never fought like this before," Sirius answered turning back to Lupin.
"Where is Hermione?"
"She's outside in the woods watching Draco," Sirius said picking up his wand. "I'm going to back and get him now."
"You left the two of them alone? What happens if they run off back to Malfoy Mansion. You even said yourself that Hermione was under a spell."
"Yes I know that," Sirius explained again. "But calm down Moony my old friend. Draco is not going to be running to any place soon. Harry beat him up pretty bad."
"Good lord," Lupin exclaimed sitting down on one of the armchairs. Today was a very confusing day. There was a sudden gasping noise and Lupin looked over to see Harry sitting up in his bed staring wide eyed at the two of them.
"Harry are you okay?" Sirius asked
"Let me get up!" Harry replied frantically trying to get up from the bed. "Draco and Hermione? Oh god this is a nightmare!"
"What about Draco and Hermione?" Lupin asked curiously.
"They…they…I saw them kissing!" He spat out, his face looking horrified.
"What!?" Sirius asked furious.
"Harry first you better explain how you got here," Lupin told him, trying to stay calm.
"Well Professor Dumbledore got a letter from Sirius saying that he was at Malfoy Mansion with Hermione and Draco. I was in Dumbledore's office at the time when he got the letter. He went to go tell the other professors and Hermione's parents. So I was alone in the office and I, well, um, I kind of read the note without permission," Harry explained.
"You read some one else's letter!" Sirius yelled.
"I'm sorry but it was tempting. Dumbeldore shouldn't have left me alone with the letter!" Harry yelled back. "So I was happy that Hermione was found and decided to fly here and meet her."
"Harry Potter! Have you gone crazy! You don't fly from schools without telling someone! Have they taught you nothing up in that school?" Sirius yelled again furious. "Wait, don't answer that question."
"Go on Harry," Lupin said.
"So when I arrived I went to the tent closeest to me and inside was Hermione and Draco…kissing! I totally lost control then and-"
"Oh I'll say you lost control alright!" Sirius screamed.
"Sirius let him continue," Lupin said.
"I didn't even know what I was doing. I was angry and I just kept hitting Malfoy. I couldn't stop either. I'm sorry. I've never felt like I felt when I saw Draco and Hermione. It was really weird."
"Very well Harry," Lupin replied. "I think you better get back to sleep. But don't think you'll be getting off this easily. Oh no Mr. Potter. You'll be receiving a very large punishment tomorrow."
The End (until the next chapter)
So guys and gals what did you think about this. Damn you Harry! First you ruin a perfect moment between Hermi and Draco, and them you get all mad and start to beat the crap out of Draco! Bad Harry, bad! Harry how many times did I tell you not to interrupt with the story plan? Well I guess it all turned out for the better. Now Draco and Hermione are officially together and ready to take on the next challenge that comes their way. Anyway in the next chapter we will find out exactly what is Voldemort's plan and whom it involves. We will also find out about Maria Silver too. Oh and I don't think Ron looks like a gerbil. That was Draco being a smart-ass. Sorry about that. Thanks again to my wonderful reviewers! I'm so happy! Draco's Angel has now reached 101 reviews! Yeah! Thanks so much!
***IMPORTANT***
Alright guys. Draco's Angel is coming down to an end soon. I'm predicting about three more chapters, maybe more depending if I drag certain scenes out or not. Should there be a sequel? I was thinking about it and I'm willing to do it. But, I'll leave this one up to you guys, the reviewers.
I would also like to apologize if my story doesn't sound as advanced as I would like it too. I'm in seventh grade and the barely ever teach us how to write in my school. It's really pathetic if you ask me. I'm using the writing skills I learned in fourth grade so I'm sorry if it ever sounds a little childish. You also must remember that I'm from America so please excuse all my American sayings. That's all for now. Here comes the thanks section!

Thea (aww thanks. I'm sorry about Narcissa. But she died for a good reason. Without her death I would have never been able to get into the romance part. Bad Harry, he really came in at a bad time, huh?)
