Okay folks heres the next chapter Thank you to those who reviewed, I look foward to more. By the way there is a point to this story. but it will come later now on with the story

Previously.....

He ran as fast as his legs would let him...

"Closer to where I started, Chasing after you"

Hermione bounded like the wind across the darkness, she only followed her heart. Then again last time she did that she got into this mess.

Hermione's POV

Im so stupid, I should just stop, but it would only make me weaker. Theres no way I can go back even If I would be alone... Well not entirely. In a few short months I wont be entirely Alone. thats only If i don't change my mind. God Help ME!!! Its so dark and cold, I'm tired,. Why couldn't it be easier...

End of POV

Hermione continued to bound oblivious to the swift footsteps of Draco. Draco's heart pounded like it never had before, no wait check that, not like it did nearly two weeks ago, the best night of his life.

He ran faster for her, like his life depened on it he ran in the darkness not caring if he collapsed. In the distance he could hear the faint rustle of Hermione's cloak and the slosh of the mud that thickly enlaid the ground. He ran faster to her.

Draco's POV

I will get to her no matter what. How could I have been so stupid, I know why , because I was scared, and stupid. Stupid Draco Andrew Malfoy thats what I always was, that was me only excuse, No More, I HEAR HEROh GOD I SEE HER

End of POV

"HERMIONE WAIT", Draco yelled into the wind. His effort seemed in vain she only seemed to run faster. LIke a mad woman she ran, only to escape, she had to escape. Suddenly Hermione fell.

Out of nowhere she tripped. Draco quickly noted her disappearance when he saw her body splayed across the ground.

"HERMIONE NO!!!!", he quickly ran to her side. The rain seemed to subside only a little. Draco could make out a small razor line of blood on her lip. She didn't move at all but she was still breathing. It was nearly pitch black outside but he could make out the castle lights in the distance, however, it was too far she needed to get out of the rain.

Draco picked Hermione up effortlessly.

"Your so stupid Hermione", he whispered into her soaked hair.

He didn't realize how close they were to the quidditch pitch. A thought came across his mind, the broom shed of course it was dry in there. As he carried her he thought of the many ways he could approach her. Practicing each one.

"Lumos" he muttered. He immediately looked down and saw her peaceful expression. At least he knew he wasn't dreaming. As they reached he broomshed, he was relieved that it wasn't locked "Stupid Gryffindors" he muttered. They were the last ones to have practice, thank god to their stupidity he pondered.

Draco cleared a small area on the floor and performed a drying spell for both of their soaked clothes. The rain was beating down even harder on the shed roof. Suddenly Hermione started to stir.

As if she suddenly came crashing down to earth her eyes flew open. She found her self staring into the silvery pools that only earlier she swore would be her demise

"Im falling even more in love with you, letting go to all I've held onto"

Flashback

They had laid together on the bed in a moment of silent contemplation. Both tired and sweaty from their previous excursions.

Draco's POV

What am I doing here? This isn't right, but it is right moron you belong here like this. I can't be here I have to go and think about this. What will everybody say, no what will Hermione say? I don't know what to do,I just need to be alone and think about it. I can't be here. End of POV

As Hermione fell asleep contently Draco just stared at her, it was all he could do. Draco laid there for what seemed like hours just thinking about the past events that happend. Draco as if suddenly inspired by his thoughts got up and quietly left Hermione there sleeping with no idea as to what was going on.

End of flash back

"GET AWAY FROM ME MALFOY!", Hermione screamed venomously. As she tried to muster her strength to get up she couldn't , she was still too weak from her fall.

Draco looked at her precariously, in more hurt than contempt. He had not heard that come from her since 5th year.

It was a sign of so many things. Within those intense moments Draco couldn't take it any longer. With his new fury he roughly took Hermione by the shoulders and looked at her just as eqaully venomously.

"You want to call me Malfoy, Hermione?"he said in a chillingly low voice as he shook her quite hard, "I guees you must have forgot what that means, to be a Malfoy" he literally hissed. " Do you want to go back to that? DO YOU? ANSWER ME HERMIONE?" He nearly screamed.

Hermione averted her glance away from him, like she was blocking out what his very words were.

"Okay GRANGER, you want to play it like that huh? I guess you don't like answering to Hermione, so lets try a different aproach, I asked you if you want to go back to how it was, now answer me MUDBLOOD" he said looking at her nearly screaming.

The moment those words left his lips he regretted it.

SMACK!!! was the only reply Draco got to his question. Hermione punched him on his face with every ounce of strength she had in her body. "FUCK YOU MALFOY!!" Hermione was now on her feet screaming at him.

Draco sat there clutching his jaw in disbelief and in remorse . Hermione lowered her voice to a deathly whisper, a tone that could chill the dead,

"You want my answer, How dare you try to pin it on me, who is the one who left? you answer me this MALFOY."

Like a vulture she circled around Draco. " I didn't do anything but give you everything and risk everything for you, I lost so much because of you Draco... I risked my friends, my family, hell if you want to throw it in my fucking life too.."

Upon hearing this Draco got up and stared at her in the eye. His eyes were now tearing up, something that has never really happened to him.

"YOU THINK YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO SACRIFICED? YOU MUST BE UTTERLY SELFISH OR BLIND! I LITERALLY GAVE UP MY FAMILY FOR YOU HERMIONE!!", Draco lost all control tears were now flowing freely.

"I'm standing here until you make me move, I'm hanging by a moment here with you"

"I CHANGED EVERY THING I KNEW FOR YOU, I LET GO OF YEARS OF HABITS ALMOST EVERYTHING FAMILIAR IN MY LIFE FOR YOU! So don't tell me about sacrificing Hermione because I have already done that" Draco nearly whispered the last line.

Hermione was now the one who was dumbfounded, in all her time she had never seen Draco Malfoy cry so freely over anything. She resisted the itch to hold him so that they could cry together.

It wasn't that easy. She was still confused and angry. It didn't help that she had to tell him something but she couldn't just yet. She was still deciding if she would ever tell.

Draco knew that he let go, he was tired of the charades and the games. A multitude of alien feelings were coursing through his body. He let so many things in his life get away because of his silence, because often times he refused to fight of beg. This time would be different. She wasn't getting away so quickly.

They both stood there looking at each other in silent contemplation. Simply waiting for one to speak first. Through both of their minds, unbeknowst to each other, was the same thought.... how it had come to this moment. Every event within the past 2 years that brought them together to this very moment.....
