~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* CHAPTER SIXTY: TWISTED FATE (REPRISE)
Neville smiled. He watched from the window as the couple below kissed and laughed.
"Hey Ginny. You might want to see this" Neville called out to the red head
"What is it?" Ginny asked, putting her book down. Neville only motioned to the window.
Ginny smiled a sad smile at the scenario. "Your happy for her aren't you?" Neville asked
"Yes of course I am. Hermione's been so miserable lately, she deserves to be happy." Ginny said quickly
Neville gave her a look and Ginny pretended to still watch Hermione and Draco out in the rain, feeling his eyes bore into her. "I know it still hurts," he whispered
"Yea it does"
"Why don't you go out with someone else?" Neville suggested softly, expecting a huge reaction. Ginny only shook her head from side to side. "Why not?"
"Look Neville, I loved Harry. You just don't go off with someone else like that. Love...its deep. I can't just pick up and move on to the next bloke."
"What do you think Harry would want? He knew that you loved him," Neville asked, lifting Ginny's face. She sighed.
"I don't know"
"I do. Harry would want you to be happy Ginny. You can't just sit and watch your life roll by; you've got to move on. And just because you do move on, doesn't mean that you ever have to stop loving him. He can live on right here" Neville pointed to his heart.
It took several minutes for Ginny to respond. "Your right" she finally whispered
"What?" Neville asked, straining to hear her response.
"Your right, Harry would want me to be happy," She said looking out the window "Thanks Neville, Thanks for knocking some sense into me"
"You're my friend Gin, I hate to see anyone miserable. Besides, what are friends for?"
At that moment, Ron burst through the common room doors.
"Ron what's wrong?" Ginny asked concerned for her brother
"Its Hermione. I can't find her anywhere! I've checked the library, Great Hall...everywhere!"
Neville and Ginny smiled at each other. "Ron calm down. We know where Hermione is," Neville said, attempting to calm Ron down.
"Where is she?!"
Neville only pointed to the window. Ron, confused, ran to the window where he saw a couple kissing madly in the rain.
Ron's face went from relief, to anger and back again. He'd formed a fist with his hands and Ginny and Neville looked at one another nervously.
"Oh" was all that Ron said
"Ron..." Ginny scolded, judging by his body language what he was thinking. She understood that Ron had not seen Draco and Hermione together like that before, but after everything that had happened, she would have thought more of Ron. He faced the two, forcing a small smile.
"I-I'm happy for her" Ron said finally.
Neville and Ginny could have been knocked over by a feather. "Your what?" Neville asked
"I'm happy for her. Hermione deserves to be happy and if he makes her happy then...then that's fine with me." Ginny beamed at him, and Neville clapped him on the back. Ron only smiled. "I'll admit I still don't understand why she had to choose him; for Merlin's sake he's a Slytherin but..." Ron teased as he dodged Ginny's swat. The group laughed for the first time together since Harry had died...and it felt good.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione ran her fingers through his silky long blond hair as Draco ran his hand up and down Hermione's back, making her shiver. Draco pulled away from their kiss, "Are you cold?"
"A little" she answered honestly wiping some water off of his face.
"Do you want to go inside? You're going to get sick." He said worriedly, tucking a piece of her wet hair behind her ear.
Hermione smiled. She loved it how he worried about her so. "No I'm fine, lets stay out here." She wrapped her arms around him and sighed contently. A few moments passed, with each just enjoying the presence of the other.
"I love you" Draco whispered to her
"I know. I love you too" They shared another one of their deep, loving, tender kisses; each kiss was better than the last.
Draco pulled away and let out a low chuckle. "Well what do you know!"
"What?" Hermione asked confused
"I think we've got an audience" Draco said, wide smile on his lips.
"Where?" Hermione looked around; she saw no one.
"There" Draco pointed to a window of the castle. There, one of the larger windows that Hermione could recognize as the Gryffindor common room window, were several Gryffindor faces pasted to the window eagerly. Hermione had to laugh. She waved at the people and faced Draco.
"How about we give them a show eh?" Draco asked mischievously, old smirk returning to the corners of his mouth.
"What exactly did you have in mind Mr. Malfoy?" Hermione played along
Not responding, Draco seized Hermione and over exaggerating, dipped her in his arms, kissing her with so much passion and love both Draco and Hermione thought they're hearts would break.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And somewhere in the castle, chaos had erupted as small groups of Gryffindors were watching this little show with surprised shocked and sometimes disgusted expressions. But no matter what the expression was there was a smile.
"Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy?!!!" A second year girl said with shock
"Who would've thought!" her friend replied with awe
"Eww...that's disgusting!" A fourth year boy remarked
"Wow look at em go" A sixth year boy said, laughing
"How romantic" Another second year girl said
"Didn't they used to hate each other?" A third year asked
"Yea, wonder when that happened?!" her friend wondered
"Fate really pulled a doozy on this one huh?" A fifth year laughed
"Yea, I'd always expected that Malfoy would run off with Pansy Parkinson and Hermione with Harry or Ron or someone." A first year said
"Yea me too...that's some really twisted fate if you ask me" A sixth year boy remarked
Neville, Ron, and Ginny listened to the talk of the other Gryffindors and smiled.
"Did you hear that mates? We got hit with twisted fate," Ron said grinning
"I think that sums it up pretty well don't you think Gin?" Neville said joining Ron by grinning as well. Ginny faced the window for a third time, watching Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger kiss still in the pouring rain, and smiled too.
"Yea...that's it...Twisted fate."
THE END ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Woo hoo! It's the end! I'm gonna cry! I didn't think it'd ever come! Waa! Sorry if the ending was a little cliché I just love it when the last line of a movie or book is the title even though mine was in French. Lol...I hope you all this story. Don't worry I think I'll do an epilogue...tell me if I should just leave it or do one. Luv you all, Haystack)
