Broken

Epilogue: Shattered DreamsHarry and Ron sat down on the couch watching the Quidditch game on a new bewitched T.V Mr. Weasley gave to Hermione and Harry for a house warming present, although it was an apartment they were sharing. Ron had practically stacked the coffee table with so much junk food that Hermione couldn't see passed the table and on to the sliding door that led to their balcony.

Draco stood there watching the small city as cars busily passed buy. He seemed to be in deep concentration because he jumped the moment Hermione put her hand around his arm. Hermione quickly released him afraid that she had touched a bruise or a stitched cut.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked worriedly looking at him stare off into space.

"Nothing, just been thinking." Draco said slowly turning to look at Hermione. Hermione shrugged and wrapped her arms around her self to keep warm from the low wind that blew in her direction. Draco noticed this and embraced her in his arms. They seem to stand like that for a while before she broke free to gaze into his eyes.

"Want to head inside?" Hermione asked. Draco nodded and walked inside with Hermione leading the way. Ron was the first to glance up after stuffing himself with some chips. He was static the moment he realized that chips tasted better then any muggle treats that he had.

"Listen guys, do you mind if I watch something else." Harry looked at her frowning.

"Come on, Quidditch comes on once a week. And it's the finals!" Ron squeaked at her after golfing down the remainder of the chips.

"Good Grief!" Hermione said bitterly. She walked off to her room slamming the door behind her. Draco was becoming distant and Harry and Ron are the worst mates ever! Her mind went a little bit off but she didn't care. Hermione lay on her bed trying to think through the past few weeks that would make Draco seem so edgy.

"Hermione! Open up." Hermione ignored the banging on the door and through a pillow over her head to block out the sounds.

"It's Draco, please open I need to talk to you." Hermione reluctantly unlocked the door and threw herself back on her bed.

"Come in." Hermione said. He walked in and watched her body lying on the bed watching the ceiling.

"What's up witchu?" Draco asked sitting next to her on the bed. Hermione glared him down, she didn't know what was wrong with her. She suddenly got a mood swing.

"There's nothing up with me. What's the sudden distance with you and me!" Hermione said angrily. Draco took his hand placing it on her cheek and smiled at her.

"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" Hermione had almost fell for that and turned her gaze from him.

"Your not answering my question." Draco took his hand back and shifted himself to lie right next to her on the bed.

"Why would I be distant from you? I was just thinking about Voldermort." Draco said looking up at the ceiling, trying to see what was so interesting that caught her attention away from him. Hermione sat up looking at him.

"Didn't I promise that I will never allow anything to happen, you have me and the rest." Hermione said quietly.

"You don't get it do you? Its my battle, I have to do something before he strikes again." Hermione nodded and climbed on top of him, which made him sit up as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Battles can wait. Until then please don't think about Voldermort." Hermione said resting her arms around his neck. Draco smirked at the position they were in.

"What do you suppose I should think about?" Hermione gave out a small giggle only to be hushed by his kiss. Hermione felt whole whenever they kissed and she never felt anything better. She parted his lips with her tongue as he did the same teasingly. He allowed the kiss to deepen and Hermione moaned as his hands ran down her back. Hermione stopped the kiss only to hear faint murmurs outside her door. Suddenly Harry walked right in and immediately closed his eyes and turned his back.

"HARRY!" Hermione screamed climbing off of Draco who couldn't help but laugh. Hermione glared at Draco which made him be quiet.

"HERMIONE!" Harry screamed back.

"This is my room, don't you know how to knock!" Harry took that as a cue to turn around.

"Sorry! I just came to apologize but I see your..umm..busy." Hermione turned scarlet red as she walked up to him.

"Next time KNOCK! For bloody sakes!" Harry looked down and scratched his head.

"I better leave then...sorry 'Mione." She could tell he was sincerly sorry and her tone soften.

"It's okay. I should have just locked my room." Hermione waited untill he went down the hall and out of site before she closed the door. She fumbled to lock the door, embarrassed. What if he tells Ron? Urgh! It was wrong for him to catch me like that. Hermione slowly turned around and closed her eyes breathing in trying to take this little embarrassment out of her mind. When she opened her eyes Draco stood inches away from her only wearing boxers.

"Where were we?" Draco winked placing his hands on her waist pulling her against him. Hermione smirked at him playfully. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

Hermione pulled back from his embrace and told him to turn around. Draco arched his eye brow in wonder and complied. Hermione rushed off of her blue tank top and black jeans. Then she seductively placed a finger on his shoulder and traced it around until she reached the opposite side. He turned his head to look at her. Hermione stood there only wearing a black bra and black laced panties. He bent his head and kissed her lips hungrily. Hermione obliged placing her hands in his hair. Draco kissed her as though he will never kiss again, his tongue searching, tracing ever part of her mouth. He stopped, disconnecting the kiss to watch the breathless Hermione flutter her eyes open.

He pulled her legs up and carried her down to her bed. Once she landed gracefully he planted kisses down on her bare belly and back up to the center of her chest. Hermione at the same time rubbed his arms persisting for him to continue. He arched her back only to unhook the bra and watched her eyes intensely. She watched him back smiling until the bra came off completely. He then kissed her on her neck sucking the sensitive skin that made her toes curl. Enjoying the reaction he got from her, he placed his hands on top of her breast gently rubbing them.

"So how badly do you want me?" He asked seductively brushing his lips against her skin.

"Don't taunt me! You know I want you." Hermione said a bit annoyed.

"Oh come on now baby, don't get mad." Draco winked up at her and kissed her lips. Hermione placed her hands in his hair once again.

"I'm not." Hermione kissed him hard practically bruising his lips to prove she couldn't wait. Draco understood her demand and traced his fingers down her waist to her hips gently pulling down her panties. Hermione arched her hips to help him out and quickly her panties fell down her knees. She kicked it to the side and gazed back into his eyes full of lust.

He placed his finger down her inner thigh as his lips trailed down her body kissing her hardened nipples. Hermione bit her lip only making him to push his finger deep inside. Hermione closed her eyes but still held her moans afraid for her friends to hear. Draco noticing this placed and another finger inside her and rubbed her bud with his thumb.

Hermione gave up trying to hold it in any longer and released a whimpered moan. Draco smiling went back to sucking her breasts. Hermione continued to moan every time he sucked hard and stopped to playfully tease her nipple. His fingers continued to make a rough motion causing her body to shake in anticipation. When she had finally reach her climax, Hermione gave out one last moan gripping his arms. Draco slowly took his fingers out and placed another kiss on her lips before towering over her as he took off his boxers. Hermione watched his muscular body flex as he was completely naked in front of her. Hermione smirked.

"Now were even." Draco gave a small chuckle and licked her lower lip as his hands planted on her hips. He placed himself inside her and Hermione groaned gripping the sides of the sheets. Draco took her hands with his and pulled it above her head as he winked at her.

"No gripping allowed if it's not my body." He whispered in her ear. Hermione nodded and began grinding into her slowly. Hermione fell into the beat and joined the rythmatic thrusts. Hermione gave out another moan and knowing she had to hold something. She gripped his shoulders which caused him to move closer to her allowing her to wrap her arms around him. He continued to thrust almost about to reach the climax. Oh..

"God!" Hermione screamed who couldn't hold it back any longer. Finally they had gone over the edge and landed back into each others arms. They both laid there panting breathlessly.

"Hermione?" He said after ten minutes of silence.

"Hmm?" Hermione asked. He looked at her before smirking.

"I'm anything but God." Hermione slightly punched him on the shoulder before laying her head on his chest.

"As long as your mines." Hermione whispered. Draco sighed and gently brushed her hair with his free hand.

-------------------------

Hermione woke up not knowing why and turned over to look if Draco was okay. She stretched her arm and realized she was alone in bed. Hermione sprang up afraid something might have happened only to find a small piece of parchment on Draco's pillow. Hermione frowned at the letter ripping it open from the red seal.

Dear Hermione,

First and foremost, I love you. I know we've had our differences over the years in Hogwarts and surprisingly found love for each other. A few months ago I would have never expected to fall for you. I would probably hex the person who said I would. But you made my horrible life bearable every day. Your the only one in my life who loved and cared for me. Your love was the only thing that kept me going and it's hard to explain. Hard to explain that I can't be the one for you, the one to take care of you, the one to love you and bare children with you, the one to grow old with you. I know it never occurred to me earlier but it makes perfect sense now. I can't give you the life you deserve. I will always be on the run, what kind of lover would I be if I'm always running around? What kind of father would I be if I can't be there to love them?

As I write this I feel like I walked right out of heaven. I see clearer now, I'm doing this for you. To make sure that you are able to build a life with someone who can care for you. I want you to continue your studies and become an Aurora, don't hold your dreams back because of me. Ever since Potter had tempted Voldermort who still roams around this earth, I know I'm not safe. The Order of the Pheniox can't always be there to protect me. I must do this on my own. I don't want you involved in any of this at all because I couldn't bare it if you died for the sake of trying to help me out.

I thank you for your hospitality, your loyalty and your trust in me. I pray that you won't hate me for what I have to do. I'm not telling you where I am going or what I will be doing. But I promise this to you, I will come back Hermione when I know I can be all that I have mentioned earlier. Don't cry for me, Hermione. I'm not worth the tears at this moment. I love you to death, I wish you well in the future. I know Potter and Weasley aren't on my side but I thank them as well for saving me back there along with your help. Until then baby girl, I pray the best for you.

P.S. I kind of took all your healing potions. Sorry.

Love,

Draco Malfoy...don't forget me.

Hermione threw the parchment in tears, she couldn't hold back the tears that escaped her eyes. She threw his pillow on the floor as well in frustration. She cried her eyes out right then and there on her bed.

"STUPID BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME LIKE THIS? HOW?!" Hermione screamed angrily. She had just lost the love of her life. Draco, the only one she knew that was meant for her, had left her unaware. It was a few hours ago when they had made love, now she lay on her bed caressing the sheets on his side of the bed. "I love you...I..love..you." Hermione repeated to herself curling herself to her side still crying uncontrollably.

Hermione couldn't hear the door slam open and Harry rush over to the side of her bed only wearing boxers. "Hermione, are you okay? Where's Malfoy?" Hermione raised her self and cried onto his shoulder not being able say a word without stuttering. She couldn't care less that she only wore a bra and panties, her life had just fallen apart.

Harry noticed the parchment on the floor and picked it up. Hermione brushed her tears away watching him read it silently. His expressions changed from confused to sad to horror.

"Oh 'Mione!" Harry embraced her in his arms as he brushed her hair. "I'm so sorry." Hermione breathed in hard and laid her head on his shoulders closing her red stinging eyes. Harry and Hermione stayed in that position for almost half an hour when Hermione finally disconnected it. She took his hand in hers and started sniffling.

"What am I going to do?" Hermione asked gazing into his green eyes looking for an answer she knew wasn't there. Harry didn't know what to say to her, until he remembered something Professor Dumbledore had once said to him during his years in Hogwarts.

"Hermione?" He said worriedly. Hermione met his gaze and waited for him to continue. He rubbed his other hand up and down her arm. "I'm not going to tell you to run after him or to wait for him. I never been in this situation. Love is a complicated thing but I can only give you an advice someone wise once had told me." Hermione nodded waiting for him to finish. He stopped rubbing her arm and placed both her hands in his. "If you love someone, let them go, if they come back to you, that's when you know they're yours."
