********************
"Ron thank god, help me" Hermione wimpered, Draco pulled at her hair again and then let her go. He turned slowly to face Ron, who looked mighty pissed off.
"Let her go Malfoy" Ron growled, his hands balling into fists at his side. He could see that the son of a bitch had hurt Hermione, he would now have to pay.
"Why would I do that? Because you asked so nicely?" Draco asked sarcastically.
"What is this about Malfoy?"
"I has nothing to do with you Weasley, I was just talking to dear Mione about something" Malfoy replied and then turned back to Hermione. "Isn't that right Granger?"
"No," She exclaimed. "Ron, get me out of here"
"Let her go Malfoy" He repeated
"And why should I do that?"
"Because I am offering you a trade" Ron replied nervously. He had a plan, he was just hoping the Malfoy was dumb enough to go with it.
"What?" Draco asked
"Let her go, unhurt, and you can kill me" Ron informed. He shoved his hand into his pocket to stop it from visibly shaking and showing just how scared he was. Malfoy looked at Ron as though he was a looney and then began to consider.
"Ron, No" Hermione yelled and for the first time their eyes met.
"I disagree to those terms, you see, the satisfaction I would get from killing you would ware off soon enough. I would then want something else to amuse myself. But it would get you out of the way I suppose" Draco pondered. Hermione was silently begging Ron not to go through with it.
"But you see Malfoy, if you kill me, I will be gone, you would never have to see me again, let her go and you can finally get rid of the annoying Weasley. I am sure that your father and his friends will me happy once you preform your first murder" Ron said, he felt so weird trying to convince some one to kill him, but it was all part of the plan. If Draco didn't take the bait then he would be completely screwed, and so would Hermione.
"Question, why would you sacrifice yourself for her?" Malfoy asked, sure he loved Hermione, but he would never as far as to put his life on the line for her.
"Because I love her" Ron answered back. Fresh tears dripped down Hermione's face and off her cheek. Hermione's heart was breaking, Ron was willing to let himself die so that she didn't
"You love her...interesting, you love her." He muttered under his breath and then smiled back at him. Maybe he would take this opportunity to kill Ron, then the rest of them, Harry, Ginny, they would be easy to kill. His father and his death eater friends would have no choice but to respect him for the powerful wizard of the dark arts that he was becoming.
"Ron, you cant do this, please, It is not worth it" Hermione cried. Ron took a few steps towards her and hugged her tightly. He never wanted to let her go, but right now all that mattered to him was making sure that she was safe and away from Malfoy.
"I love you, you have to believe that..." Ron began, he didn't want to say his good byes to her, because if his plan went the way he wanted it to (which he was dam well hoping) he wouldn't be dying in the old, unused classroom.
"Ron, he is seriously considering killing you, you dont have to do this" Hermione replied, tears now on a non stop path from her eyes down her cheeks.
"Better me than you"
"I cant do this with out you Ron, I love you, and I cant be with out you, I will not let you leave me like this" She sobbed. "In so many ways you are being selfish, you are leaving me when I need you the most. I cant believe you are willing to do this to me" Hermione mumbled and Ron silenced her by placing his finger on her lips
"Mione, I will be alright" He assured her. She smirked at him in a way that he knew meant that she didn't believe him.
"Dont tell me you are foolish enough to be calling his bluff, Ron, he is a Malfoy, he will kill you" Hermione reminded. Ron reached up and wiped a tear from her face. she sniffled and snuggled into his hand, memorising the way it felt against her skin. His hands were still shaking, they had been shaking all night, first at the yule ball and now here. She knew it wasn't his most important feature, but that was what she would remember about Ron Weasley, the fact that even when he learnt how to controll his nervous blushing, he had not been able to controll his nervous hand shaking.
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve" Ron informed her, but it didn't make her feel any better. Her heart was beating so fast. She was so scared that she would lose him, now, when she had only just admitted that she loved him.
"Are you sure you know what you are doing" She asked. Hermione felt that even if she did not understand Ron's confidence about the situation, she would trust him no matter what.
"Mione, I love you" He whispered instead of answering. He took her face softly in his hands and kissed her. A short kiss which only lasted a little while.
"Oh isn't that sweet. I accept your deal Weasley. Say you final good byes to her" Malfoy interupted, Hermione began to cry again, but Ron kissed away her tears.
"Let her free first" Ron spat, Malfoy took out his wand and undid the magical binding that were still holding Hermione to her chair. She collapsed into Ron's arms. He stroked her hair just like he had that night in front of the fire.
"I will see you later Hermione" He whispered to her, she cried. Part of her wished that Ron would stop talking like he could survive this, she knew that there was no way he could. He had signed his own death warrant in order to save her life. The guilt was slowly begining to take over her.
"I love you Ron" she replied and kissed him.
"Go now" Malfoy said as he pulled Hermione out of his arms.
"Do I have your word that you will leave her alone?" Ron asked as looked from Hermione and back to Malfoy.
"I suppose" Malfoy replied. Ron turned to the door, Hermione was still standing there. He shot her a nervous smile, he wished he had the time to inform her of his plan. He felt so bad making her feel so sad.
"Mione, go, I dont want you to see this, Say good bye to Ginny and Harry for me" He told her. Hermione turned slowly and then ran down the hallway. She had to tell some one, she had to tell Dumbledoor.
"Do you want this quick and painless?" Malfoy asked, Ron knew it was a trick question, he would never get a say in it.
"Just get it over with"
"I guess this means your parents have one less Weasley to spend money on" Malfoy smiled sadistically as he raised his wand. Ron clamped his eyes shut, he just hoped his plan would work. A bolt of power errupted from the end of Malfoy's wand, and then, Ron hit the floor.
Malfoy smiled to himself.
He had finally done it...killed his enemy's best friend.
It would only be a matter of time before he killed his enemy, Harry.
Now he had Mione for himself
********************
Hermione cursed Dumbledoor for walking so slow. She had run as fast as she could to the old mans office, but now he seemed to be moving slower than ever.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of walking at a snails pace, they reached the classroom. Hermione hesitated before opening the door.
"Miss Granger, believe me, if what you have told me is true, Mr Malfoy will be punished." Hermione nodded and then turned the door knob. The door swung open, but she kept her eyes shut. She didn't want to see what was on the other side of the door. She didn't want to see the love of her life laying dead inside this room. She felt Dumbledoor place a hand on her shoulder and guide her into the room but she still had not opened her eyes.
Suddenly, the hand was gone. Hermione's eyes opened against her will and she watched as Dumbledoor knelt beside Ron's lifeless body. A sob excaped her and she collapsed. She cried into her hands, she could not believe that Malfoy had gone through with it.
Ron was gone, he had sacrificed himself for her and now he was gone.
"Miss Granger" Dumbledoor began and patted her on the back. "Did Mr Weasley say anything to you before he told you to leave?"
"He kept saying that he would see me later" She whispered and then sobbed again. Dumbledoor picked up his wand and pointed it towards Ron. Hermione watched as Dumbledoor levitated him and moved both of them towards the door.
"I think you should go get some sleep Hermione, and I ask you, please, do not tell any one what happened here, If anyone asks you where Ron is, tell them some thing, any thing, I would rather that they did not know the truth yet." Dumbledoor begged Hermione
"Wh...wh..what should I tell Harry and Ginny? Ginny will realise that her brother is not around any more" Hermione asked
"I dont know, but I am sure you can think of something, you are a smart girl" He told her
"Professor, what is going on?" Hermione asked
"I will just inform you that Mr Weasley knew what he was doing when he placed himself in front of Mr Malfoy's wand" Dumbledoor smiled and then transported Ron to the infirmary.
Hermione watched them leave and began moving towards the common room. It had been a long night, and she was sure that she wouldn't be getting any sleep.
