~*~*~*~*~ CHAPTER FOURTY SEVEN: SECOND CHANCES
Draco stared at the corpse of his dead father. The thing that bothered Draco the most was that the fact that he had just killed his father didn't bother him. Wallowing in self-pity, Draco almost didn't hear the high- pitched scream that seemed to echo across the lake to where he was. Immediately snapping out of his thoughts, Draco recognized the scream; he knew who the screamer was... he didn't need to hear it twice. It was Hermione! Without a notion as to where she was, Draco started running as fast as he could, heart beating madly in his chest. He had to save her...he had to save Hermione.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Is this it? Hermione thought. This wasn't how she wanted to go. Not like this, not right now. There was so much she hadn't done, so much to live for, and so many regrets.
Draco. Draco was her number one regret. Hermione wanted nothing more than to be in his strong arms, instead of in the cold, about to die. She could no longer deny it; staring into the face of death....... she loved him. His voice rang in her ears: I- I love you Hermione. It made Hermione want to cry, she loved him, and she'd never be able to tell him that.
As if a miracle, answering her prayer, Hermione heard loud footsteps. She turned her head to face the newcomer, as did the Death Eaters.
"STUPFY!" The person shouted "STUPFY! STUPFY! STUPFY!" All four Death Eaters fell to the ground. Too relieved to say anything, Hermione stared at the bodies.
"Hermione?" the voice asked gently. Only then, did Hermione look at her rescuer, who was breathing heavily.
"D-Draco?" Hermione asked nervously
"Oh my God Hermione, what happened? What'd they do to you?" Draco asked urgently, taking steps closer to her, as he looked at her appearance. Hermione started crying. "Are you alright?" Draco asked as he put a hand to her cheek.
What kind of a question is that? She's crying! Of course she's not okay Draco thought to himself.
"Draco...I'm so sorry" Hermione whispered before burying her face in his shoulder.
"Shh...its okay" Draco said, silently smiling to himself. He had her back, she was his Hermione. Hermione stood back and looked him in the eyes.
"I love you," She said strongly, though tears were still rolling down her cheeks. "You don't hate me do you?"
"I could never hate you." Draco teased, before he put his mouth to hers in a passionate kiss. "And I love you too."
~*~*~*~*~*~*
(A/N: Woo hoo! They're back together! I'm sorry if I gave anyone a scare...natyslacks!...now be patient, there's more to come...I decided to be nice and not leave you all with a cliffhanger...dracoisahottie13, raisinnutbread, natyslacks! Anyway, hope you all enjoyed it! luv Haystack8190)
