Chapter II I love you
Until the stars come crashing down
until the moon no longer shines
that's how long I'll wait for you
that's how long I'll wait for you
You are the meaning to my life
and until the end of time
that's how long I'll wait for you
that's how long I'll wait for you
And if we are oceans apart
you will always be here in my heart
and I'll always wait for you
I'll always wait for you
("Leap of faith" by David Charvet)
"Oliver, I beg you. Please go. Take Lily and go away. Somewhere where no one knows you. Take her to the states. Nobody knows that I have relatives there. So you will be safe there."
"Hermione, tell me what is going on here. I can´t leave you here, alone without knowing what happens. I have never seen you like this. You look like you are scared to death."
Oliver looked really worried.
"I don´t just look like, I am. I am scared to death. When I tell you why, promise me to leave and take Lily with you. I don´t want to loose another child."
Slowly, like thinking again, Oliver nodded.
"He killed them. Malfoy killed Harry, Ron, Ginny and Lavender. And soon, he will come for us. To kill you and Lily and me. When he comes I don´t want you to be here. I want to know that you are safe."
At the first instant, Oliver thought Hermione would have become paranoid. But then, he saw the look in her eyes. He had just seen it once. And that was before the last battle of the "big war".
He had hoped never to see that look again. A mixture of pain, fear, brave and the knowledge that this could be the end.
He believed her, he knew that she would have to be totally sure, before she would tell him to go and take Lily with him.
But he also knew, that she loved their daughter and him more than her own life. And so did he.
"Hermione, I know you are serious. But I don´t want to let you here when this monster comes. I could never be happy when I left you here, alone. I want to be by your side, to help you and to defend my family against this monster."
He stood up while he spoke.
"I know darling, but I am the Auror in this family, I know how to defend myself." She smiled, but Oliver knew that it was a faked smile.
"But....But he is a Death-Eater. You may know the three curses, but like I know you, you won´t use them. He would, and he will if he sees any advantage in it. I hope you know that."
She nodded. Of course she knew, she had seen him kill many others. Although she didn´t kill him. Now, she hoped she could take it back, her mercy, today she wished with all her heart, that she would have killed him when she had chance. Like he had said, now she was going to be punished for showing mercy where it wasn´t wanted.
She shook her head to remove those dark thoughts. The situation was already dark enough without her thinking dark thoughts.
Oliver looked at her, worried.
She smiled again.
"I just don´t want you to die or to get hurt. I would feel so much better if I knew you and Lily were safe."
"I know, but I´d rather die here with you that to live a life somewhere else without you."
"And what about Lily? Where shall she go? Her godparents are dead, and if we are dead as well, she´ll be all alone. And I don´t want her to."
Oliver just looked into her eyes. He knew she was right, that made it even more painful.
"Okay, then wake her up and tell her she and her daddy are going on a little trip." His voice was low and his eyes shimmered with tears.
Hermione went to his side and pressed a short kiss on his lips. When she was about to turn to her daughters room, she felt Oliver ´s hands on her waist. Slowly but firmly pulling her back to him. She turned to face him against. Pain was written over his entire face, pared with desire to kiss her. She pulled him closer, her hands raised to his neck. His forehead rested against hers. He looked deep into her eyes before he kissed her.
His lips met hers softly, but soon demanding entrance with his tongue. She willingly gave it to him. Opening her mouth slowly she felt his tongue sliding inside, brushing against her own. They kissed gentle but passionately, slowly but demanding. After what seemed to her an eternity, Hermione broke the kiss and smiled up to him. It was the first real smile after that call.
"I love you, Oliver Wood, and I always will. No matter how far away you are, no matter how long I won´t see you. I will love you till the day I die."
A single tear slid down her cheek and Oliver gently kissed it away.
"And so do I. No matter what happens to me, I will love you, Hermione Wood, until the world comes to an end. I want you to never forget that."
She didn´t answered, but he knew that she understood.
So they stood there in silence, just looking in each others eyes.
*****
She didn´t know how long they stood there, but somehow she felt that he had to go now.
"Oliver, I´ll wake her up now, just take her little bag and then go with her to the airport."
He simply nodded.
*******
"Hey, Sweetheart. Wake up. Your daddy and you are going on a trip today. You are going to fly in a plane."
Hermione´s heart was about to break when she saw her little daughters eyes sparkle with excitement.
"Really Mommy? When do we go?"
"If you stand up, then you are going now." Hermione tried to fake a smile, and her daughter smiled back at her. Her big blue eyes locked with Hermione´s brown.
"Can I take my teddy with me?"
"Of course you can, but hurry now, The plane isn´t gonna wait for you and you don´t want to miss it, do you?"
So Lily jumped out of her bed and got quickly dressed.
************
It was hard for Hermione to say goodbye to her loved ones. It made it even harder not to know when they would see each other again.
She kneeled down in front of Lily.
"Lily, you know that your Mommy loves you. Be a nice little girl as always." She smiled.
"I´m gonna miss you my sweetheart. Have fun with your daddy and take care of him."
"Don´t you come with us Mommy?"
"No, Mommy has to do something, but I will come after you and daddy as fast as I can."
"You promise?"
"Yeah, I promise."
"Okay, then I won´t have too much to worry about you."
Hermione, Oliver and Lily laughed together. It was the last time they did.
"Hermione," Oliver spoke,
"There´s nothing much left to say. I love you. I´m sure we are going to be together soon."
He hugged her, and Hermione wrapped her arms around him desperate.
She smiled sadly as Lily hugged the legs of her parents.
"But you have to go now, if not, you are gonna miss your plane."
Oliver took Lily on his arm and stepped out of the apartment door.
And Hermione closed the door.
****************
Hermione was nervous. She knew that Malfoy would come soon. So she hid all of her precious things, and put some breakable things away. More in order to calm herself down that to protect them from breaking.
Then she heard the phone ring.
She supposed it would be Malfoy, who wanted to scare her. But now, she knew that her family was safe and away, so she was much harder to scare. She took the phone and said:
"Hello?"
"Hello? Hermione, it is me, Percy."
"Oh, hello Percy."
"Hermione, something terrible happened. The police just called us. Ron, Ginny, Harry and Lavender are dead."
He almost so screamed, so in pain he was.
Suddenly Hermione felt that it would be better if no one knew that she had been told of the death of her friends by the murderer himself.
"Oh my God. Percy, How?"
"Nobody knows. It seems to been an attack. You know, like in you-know-who- times."
"But I just wanted to tell you, I have to talk to Mum and Dad. I will call you if I hear something new."
She hung up. She sighed. This was so damn unfair. Now, when she was alone she realised the truth. That her friends were gone. When her family was still there, she couldn´t concentrate, the only thought that was in her head was to make sure that they were safe. But no they were, and Malfoy wasn´t there yet so the time to think. Time for the thoughts to haunt her.
Pictures of Harry, Ron and herself came to her mind. Smiling, laughing, the three of them. Hugging each other. Suddenly she remembered the feeling of safety when she was with them. The knowledge that they were there to help her and protect her, had made things much easier in her life. And now they were gone. Never coming back. The thought was almost unbearable for her. She fell to her knees, the eyes against the sky, and the only question she could think of was "why".
"KNOCK, KNOCK"
She was ripped of her thoughts by a loud knock on the door. She knew this had to be Malfoy. "BANG" The door was out of the frame.
In the doorframe he stood.
About six feet tall, his blonde hair hung to his ears and his eyes pierced into hers. They were of the same cold blue-grey she remembered them.
"Uh, did I interrupt you, Mudblood?" He sneered.
"I waited for you, you fucking bastard."
"Ah, I already told you on the phone I don´t like your language, Granger. Oh, I forgot, you are married, Mrs. Wood."
He smirked coldly.
"I do not care what you like and to your information, I am divorced, my goddamn husband is out of here."
"Don´t lie to me." With a little move of his wand she was pushed through the room and slammed against to wall. She fell to the floor. Every bone in her body was arching.
"I have no intention to lie to you, fucking ferret." She spat out, coughing blood.
"You lied again." Another move of his wand and she flew in his direction, stopping a few inches away from him. About a feet above the ground.
"You have an intention, Mudblood. If I think you are alone, I just kill you, and don´t look out for your family. But how stupid do you think I am?"
With this words and another wand-move she crashed into the next wall.
"Look, Mrs. Wood, look what I have for you."
He lifted her head with magic, forcing her to looked behind him to the door.
Hermione screamed.
