I don't own anything but the plot of this story so don't sue me!
Weeks past and their relationship grew to where they were stuck together like glue. Each weekend they hung out outside rain or shine and at night they spent it in each other's arms. It got to where the whole school knew and every Gryffindor and Slytherin despised the four except for Harry. Ron was very heart broken that Slytherins had stolen his little sister and his best friend. Easter was nearing and with all of the happiness the two had forgotten about what was awaiting them in their vacation.
Hermione's POV
I awoke in my hammock in the arms of Draco. I smiled yawned.
"Morning 'Mione," said Draco in my ear. I yawned and snuggled against him.
"Morning," I said leaning my head back against his chest.
"You know today would be a great day to go flying," he said quietly. My eyes flow open.
"Mhmmm, well I'm going to go off to breakfast," I said standing up and stretching. He smiled and stood up. I yawned and pulled out my wand and changed into a white tank top and blue jeans letting my hair out of its clip with a wave of my wand. Black mascara and eyeliner suddenly appeared on my face with another wave and I grinned and then walked downstairs and out of the common room.
"Morning boys," I said as I sat down next to Harry and Ron.
"Morning 'Mione," they said with a yawn. We ate our breakfast and talked about Snape one of our favorite topics of conversation. It soon turned to Quidditch to my disgust. I rolled my eyes and got up and left. They didn't seem to notice so I walked out of the Great Hall and out onto the lake. I walked into the spring sunshine and walked onto the Quidditch pitch with Ginny as we watch Blaise and Draco fly around. We talked for a while when suddenly we heard a swoop behind us. Ginny screamed in delight as Blaise carried her off on his broom. I laughed as Draco circled them and then looked at me with a grin.
"No," I said as he flew towards me. I quickly ran to the stairs and sat on the top step with a grin. He couldn't get me in here. He stopped right above the stands looking at me with a grin.
"You have to come out soon," he said. I glared and shook my head.
"I can last for quite a while," I said noticing the twinkle in his eye.
"And so can I," he replied grinning. I glared and then with one quick motion I shot down the stairs. I slowly poked my head around the edge of the bottom of the stairs to see a smiling Draco circling above. I pressed myself against the stands as I crept around the stands. I shrieked in surprise as an arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me onto the broom in one quick motion. I looked behind me to see a grinning Draco.
"Draco Malfoy you get me back on the ground this instant!" I exclaimed starting to panic. He shook his head and smiled as he pulled me close and then leaned over me and guided the broom. "Just trust me," he whispered in my ear. It sent shivers down my spine but I nodded as he started to fly off. I leaned against him in fright as we soared higher. We flew around the pitch chasing Blaise and Ginny until the sun started to set. He did one last circle and then flew towards my balcony. He dismounted and helped me down and grinned.
"I guess flying isn't that bad," I said looking at the lake.
"I knew you'd like it," he said softly into my ear as he wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck.
"It's the only thing I haven't been able to learn," I replied with a grin.
"I could teach you if you wanted maybe the next vacation break or something," he offered.
"Thanks but I prefer to have my feet on the ground," I said laughing.
"And plus I won't be here Easter vacation," I added sadly.
"Where are you going?" he asked curiously.
"Back home to visit my dad," I replied quietly. He sighed sadly and pulled me onto the hammock.
"Are you going to be here?" I asked leaning against him.
"No.I'm going back home," he replied stiffly.
"Oh. you aren't going to do it are you?" I asked softly.
"Do what?" he asked wrapping his arms around me.
"Get the dark mark," I replied quietly. He tensed as I mentioned it and replied,
"'Mione I have no choice," he replied sadly. My shoulders dropped in disappointment. We sat in silence for awhile looking at the sun set.
"Well I guess we should probably get to dinner," I said slowly getting up.
"Alright," he said sighing. We walked to the Great Hall in silence and went to our own tables. I quietly sat down at the end of the table remembering the last time I was at my house. The vision of my mother's body flashed into my memory. I shuddered and dropped my fork as a gray and black owl dropped a letter onto my plate. I slowly turned the owl over to see my dad's handwriting. I quickly glanced around the Great and Hall and then slowly opened the letter.
Dear Hermione,
I understand that your Easter break tomorrow. I've written this letter to remind you to come. I haven't seen you in a while and we have some catching up to do. I shuddered and dropped the letter knowing exactly what he meant. I took a deep breath and picked up where I left off. I will meet you at the station. Don't keep me waiting long I'm not a patient man.
Love,
Dad
I let out a breath I had been holding and then ran out of the Great Hall with my letter. Tears threatened to stream down my face as I thought of what he would do. Draco caught me in his arms as I dashed out of the hall. He looked down at me in concern. I returned his gaze but with a tear stained face. He slowly leaned down and kissed my tears away. I gave him a small smile but then pulled away form his embrace and ran down the corridor. I ran to the Astronomy Tower and sat down against the tower wall and let the tears come. I sat there for hours as tears fell like rain down my face and the stars started to come out. The cold night air surrounded me making me shiver. I lot out a sob as I had remembered what damage he had done in only 5 minutes. I hated to think of what he could do to me in a week. I spent the rest of the night up in the tower starring out at the stars and crying about my mom and my dad. I awoke the next day at sunrise to find that I had fallen asleep on the floor. I groaned as I rubbed my neck and back. I checked my watch to see that it was 7. The carriages would be here in an hour. I sighed and slowly walked out of the tower and into the Gryffindor common room and through the trap door to my own room. I didn't know why I was avoiding Draco but I was. I guess I didn't want him to give me sympathy. That was the one thing I hated. It never helped. I glanced in the mirror as I past and stopped short. I looked horrible. I quickly grabbed a towel and clothes and walked downstairs and took a shower. I hadn't bumped into him yet. I smiled as I walked out which quickly faded as I saw a very troubled Draco sitting on his window seat.
"Morning," I said softly approaching him. His expression brightened as he saw me.
"'Mione where have you been I've been looking all over for you!" he exclaimed standing up and wrapping his arms around me giving me a kiss.
"Oh don't worry about it," I replied quietly as we pulled apart. He cocked his head to the side and gave me a confused look. He quickly replaced it with a smile as he pulled me onto his lap and hugged me close as we looked out onto the grounds. We watched until the first carriage arrived.
"I have to go and pack," I said softly as I got up.
"Alright meet me down near the carriages in about 15 minutes ok?" he replied getting up and walking to his own room. I nodded and then walked into my room and opened my trunk and with one wave of my wand everything flew into my trunk. I smiled and then levitated it out of the common room and onto the grounds. I met up with Draco as we walked into a carriage that was going to take me away to my horrible vacation.
