Title: Beauty and the Beast
Author: Mjade
Summary: Draco/Mione fic. One year after graduation. Ron and Harry go exploring and when they don't come back Hermione begins to worry. I know the title is corny but I named it that because the plot line is based on that.

Rating: PG/Romance Author's Note: I'm back ppl! I still can't believe I wrote chapter 15 like that! I was planning on rewriting it but some of your reviews left me thinking otherwise.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! ~kikie- she'll come back! She can't leave Malfoy like that! ~Sila-chan-I know it's fluffy (ack!) but I'm glad you like it. I can't believe I wrote that chapter. ~Elven Josefine-Hope this chapter can dry your tears! Thanks for waiting!
Draco Malfoy's heart was surrounded with despair and hate, with 'Malfoys don't cry' echoing in his head. Hermione Granger leaves the castle with some guilt in leaving Draco, but has no choice, needing to find her friend, Ron Weasley, hoping that he may still be alive. What she doesn't know, is that something left with her.
Lumiere and Mrs. Potts finally found they're voices after hearing the news from Cogsworth.
"HE DID WHAT!?"
"Yes, I'm afraid its true," Cogsworth said solemnly.
"Oh my, Hermione left," Mrs. Potts said with an identical expression that Cogsworth had on his face.
"But he was so close!" Lumiere cried.
"At least, after all this time, he has finally learned to love."
"That's it, then! That should break the spell!" Lumiere said lifting his hopes only for it to be dropped again.
"But it's not enough. She has to love him in return," Mrs. Potts said.
Cogsworth sighed, "And now it's too late."
Mrs. Potts nodded, but then finally realized something. "Has anyone seen Chip?"
***
Putting it bluntly, the blizzard was fierce. Hermione tightened her cloak as she looked about the small hills of snow, the harsh wind blurring her vision.
"Ron!" Hermione called out but knew it was useless. As far as the mirror showed her, his body lay unconscious and he was face down into the snow. She took her wand out and whispered "Lumos!" hoping the moist wind wouldn't interfere with what little light she had. Just as she moved towards her left she caught something on the right at the corner of her eye. As she neared the footprints, she saw that it was pointing towards her. She finally knew where he was. Gritting her teeth, she dropped down and starting digging through the pile of snow in front of her. She was relieved to see Ron's red hair and pulled him out by his coat.
"Ron, can you hear me?"
No answer.
"Come on, give me a sign!" Hermione said checking to see if he was still breathing. Ron didn't appear to be frost bitten but his skin was even paler than Draco's and his lips turned purple. Using her wand, Hermione levitated him over to Philippe, who was eager to get out of the blizzard, when she heard footsteps and hooves. She quickly led her horse out of sight and waited. . .it was Harry. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and rush towards him nearly knocking him onto the snow. "Hermione!!! Ron and I were so worried. Oh my god, you can't believe how much we missed you!" Harry said wrapping his arms around his friend.
Hermione's arms were already clutching tightly onto Harry, as she closed her eyes and felt like crying. "I think I have a pretty good idea, because I missed you guys the same way. Oh, Harry, I never thought I'd see you again!"
"You didn't think we'd leave you there forever, 'Mione," Harry said.
"I guess not," Hermione said pulling away and wiping an escaping tear from her cheek. She looked up to see a horse and Colin sitting on top, his teeth chattering.
"And what is he doing here?" She asked in a polite way.
"Who, Colin? Tell you later, 'Mione, but we better get Ron back to town," Harry said.
"Right," She replied as she went on top of Philippe with Ron still unconscious and Harry got up on the stolen horse in front of Colin. They rode away from the woods.
***
". . . and when he left, I met Colin and then we decided to go after him. Ron can be a bloody idiot sometimes," Harry added after explaining the story, leaving the stolen horse part out of it since she knew Hermione wouldn't approve of it.
Hermione smiled and brushed Ron's bangs away from his face. "That's why I love him, as if he was my own brother."
Ron began to open his eyes and when he saw Hermione-
"HERMIONE!"
"It's all right, Ron. I'm back," Hermione said.
"But Malfoy. How did you manage to escape?"
"I didn't. He let me go," Hermione replied.
"He let you go? The Draco Malfoy? Blood-sucking Death Eater, Draco Malfoy?" Ron asked.
"Yes, * the * Draco Malfoy. And he's not a Death Eater. He's different now. He's changed somehow."
"He's not a Death Eater!? Oh no, I have to rewrite this article!" Colin said suddenly, crumpling a piece of parchment and getting out another one.
Ron's eyebrow rose, "What's Colin doing here?"
"Daily Prophet sent him here. Says they're going to let him write his first article," Harry explained.
"Oh, I almost forgot," Hermione said. "Draco gave me something." As she was about to reach for her bag, the flap opened by itself and something jumped out on the bed.
"AHHHHH!!!" Ron screamed. "Get it away from me!!!"
Hermione looked at it and realized * who * it was. "Relax, Ron."
Ron calmed down and Chip smiled. "Hi!"
"Oh a stowaway," Harry said, laughing. "Ron, you should have seen your face."
"Shut up, Harry," Ron said, ears turning pink.
Chip frowned. "Hermione, why'd you go away? Don't you like us anymore?"
"Oh, Chip. Of course I do. It's just that-" Hermione started to say when a knock from the door interrupted them.
Chip went back to hide in the bag just as the door opened.
"Mister Weasley?" The innkeeper said.
"Ron's not well right now. What's the matter?" Hermione said, wondering why Ron was needed.
"Someone outside the inn wants to see him. They also want to see you Miss Granger."
"All right. I'll go," Hermione said, grabbing her bag.
"I'm coming too, 'Mione. Colin stay here and watch Ron." Harry said a little worried and followed Hermione out through the door.
As she went down the steps, the innkeeper gestured to the door. Hermione opened it and she and Harry stepped outside.
"May I help you," Hermione said confused.
"I've come to collect your friend, Mister Weasley," Monsieur D'Arque said, grinning evilly.
As he stepped aside, Hermione's eyes widened when she saw a lot of people . . . and the 'Asylum D'Loons' wagon standing in front of her.
A/N: Yes, I know its kinda short but I said I'd post the next chapter by late July. I'm happy to be back since I missed Fanfiction.net sooo much! Yay, I have more than a 100 reviews. Keep reviewing guys, you know how to make a girl happy!
