Chapter 12
Hermione wriggled in her restraints, trying to free herself, but it was pointless. Penetrating the metal was impossible without a tool.
Lucius' hand rested on a large red lever.
"Please," Hermione whined, "what have I done?"
Malfoy cackled. "You don't know? Why, dated my son, of course!"
"Why is that such a problem?" she knew the answer. She was stalling again.
Lucius rolled his eyes,
Uh oh… Hermione thought. He's not buying it this time.
"I'm sick of your babbling, bitch. Now shut up."
Hermione stared at him with pleading eyes, but there was no changing Lucius' mind. She reluctantly accepted the fact that she was going to die.
As Lucius adjusted and checked everything one last time, she sent a mental kiss to Draco and good-byes to all her friends and family.
"All right then…" she sighed, allowing a tear to fall.
Lucius' cold eyes focused as his thumb brushed and settled on the trigger button.
"Good0bye, Miss Granger, I will be make sure that Draco sees your mangled body," Lucius' face was boiling with madness.
"Stop," a voice growled.
"Damn!" Lucius shrieked, spinning around to come face to face with his son.
"Draco!" Hermione squealed with joy and relief.
"You've gone too far, Father," there was unhealthy hatred burning in the father's and son's eyes. Lucius slapped his son.
"How dare you interrupt me while I'm working!"
"How dare you try to kill my soulmate," there was a frightening calmness in Draco's icy voice.
Hermione stayed silent, choosing not to interfere.
Draco withdrew his wand. Lucius made a quick attempt to find his, but realized he had left is somewhere upstairs.
"Acc—"
"Silencio!" Draco yelled, just in time. Gagged by an invisible force, his father could not summon his wand using Draco's. Fear filled the older man's eyes.
"It seems the tables have turned, Father."
Lucius made a move to punch his son, but he was too slow. Draco bound Lucius' entire body. He fell to the floor, struggling.
"Avada—" Draco began, then stopped. "No. I will not win under your rules. I will win under mine. I do not kill the weak and defenseless," here, he spat down on Lucius' face. "Rather, I'll punish you to be among the living dead. Be gone!"
Draco muttered something and Lucius Malfoy vanished.
"What did you do?!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Banished him to the Court of Azkaban," Draco replied while removing Hermione's restraints. He swept her into his arms. "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you, too," she breathed, choking back more tears. "Thank you."
"Well, I couldn't let him kill my only love, could I?"
"No," Hermione sniffed, "I mean, thank you for everything."
Draco kissed her as he silently promised himself that he'd never let her go.
