Fateful Loss.

Chapter one: Loved, and now lost.

A silent tear fell down Hermione's face, she stood bewildered at the sight of a dead boy infront of her. A hole ripped through his chest. Hermione broke into tears and sat the boy up. His skin was pale and torn, his eyes were blank and lifeless. She wrapped her arms around him, he had saved her life. She then noticed the boy's hair, 'Thankyou .. Draco.'

Hermione held him closer and a memory flashed in her head. Then Harry barged up to her and held the battered cloak high above his head.

'Voldermort,' Harry began and looked down at Hermione who was now kneeling on the ground, 'W-what happened?'

'Draco .. He saved me. I chased after You-Know-Who and then he started to attack-' Hermione felt pain and then revealed a cut on her shoulder, 'Before he tried to kill me, Draco came and took the blast, barley living. Then they dueled.'

Hermione wiped her eyes and held the pale boy and smoothed his hair, 'Draco didn't last a minute against Voldemort, that creep took two swishes of his wand and then Draco was buried into the floor. Voldermort then came after me and tortured me and smashed my wand. I then fought him with my fist but was easily defeated, I was hopelessly whimpering on the ground and then Voldermort struck me with a curse that speared me through the leg.' Blood dripped from her shoulder and she winced in agony and held her stabbed leg and showed her bloodened hand, 'Then he fired a killing curse at me and Draco took the blast, the blast deflected enough to destroy them both.'

Hermione broke into loud tears again and then kissed Draco's cold, dead lips, 'Thankyou, my love.'

Harry stared blankly and then watched as she let Draco go and he crumbled into ashes and blew away in the wind. Harry carried Hermione to the Hospital wing and sat beside her for the rest of the night and heard Hermione's last words before she fainted, 'It was all my fault he died, he died for me. He loved m-' Hermione broke off and fell asleep. Harry noticed her eyes, blank as her dead love's.

Harry felt a dry tear roll down his face and he left for the common room. That night Harry had nightmare..
