Rogue: Hey. I've been really busy lately. I spent a whole weekend writing
that last chapter. I found a note in a book I checked out from the library,
and it was a poem. I have no clue who wrote it, but it's really sweet. I
think I might base it on my next Hermione/Draco story. I dunno. Well, lemma
write this while I'm in a good mood, cause I'm currently listening to some
music from the movie Chicago. I love that movie! I'm listening to the Cell
Block Tango. That's my favorite. Well.
$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$%$ Chapter 21: Return to Hogwarts Castle
Hermione hugged Ginny. She hugged Ron. And she hugged Harry. Then she shook Fudges' hand. " Thank you!" She said happy to be out of Dracos' secret room. " Your welcome. Now, if there is nothing else we have to do, I have to get you back to the school. The battle is about to begin." Fudges' words were serious. Draco nodded and placed a hand on Hermione's arm, where the mark was. Her eyes teared up as she remembered the pain in her arm where Voldemort had given her the mark. They followed Fudge around the large stone barriers and walls that surrounded the small palace like house. " Were are we?" Hermione asked Draco. " We're in Voldemorts' main hideout." Draco replied, as Harry, Ron, and Ginny slowed down and walked steadily with Hermione and Draco. " You okay?" Ron asked. " I'm alright." " What did they do to you, 'Mione?" Harry asked. Harry made a move to grab Hermione's free hand, but she moved it and ran it through her hair. Draco must have noticed Harry's move because he put his arm around her shoulders. " Well.. We'll tell you later." She said as Fudge turned to point them in a direction. They turned and saw millions of Ministry workers, Percy Weasley and Ron's father, too. " I'm glad your okay, Hermione." Hermione heard Percy say. " Yeah, uh.we're really glad, that you, uh, made it." Mr. Weasley said. Hermione noticed his eyes were transfixed on Draco. Hermione grabbed his hand that was resting on her shoulder. " Well, we had better be off. I'll be back shortly." Fudge told the ministry members. Fudge walked over to the wall, and grabbed the six brooms that were leaning against it. He handed one to each of them, saving one for himself. Hermione took the broom, looked at it, and looked back at Fudge, then looked at Draco. " I don't think I'm going to need this." Hermione told Fudge. He looked at her, then to Harry. " No! No, no, no, no, no." Hermione said, shaking her head. She nodded toward Draco. Fudges' eyes went wide and he took the broom from Hermione. She went over to Draco, mounted the broom after him. He kicked off the ground, and she immediately threw her arms around his neck and held on for dear life. " Uh, Hermione. we're only two feet off the ground." Draco whispered in her ear. She opened her eyes, looked at the ground and then buried her face in Draco's chest again. The rest mounted, and kicked off. They were soon on their way back to Hogwarts.
Draco slowly landed on the ground and he set Hermione down. " You ok?" He asked, as she stood up strait. " I-I'm okay." She said. She felt dizzy after clinging to Draco for so long. " Why were you so clingy?" Draco asked giving her a smirk. " Well, that was my first real broom ride, and I was afraid!" She said mater-of- factly. He smiled down at her. " I know now not to take you on another broom, you might rip my hair out." Hermione giggled. Fudge walked up to the two of them. " I'm very proud of you two. Now, all of the other students have been informed, but you do not know. Professor McGonnagal has taken the place of Dumbledore, and Flitwick has taken the place of McGonnagal. Now, when you go in, you'll be asked to go to your common rooms. But I think I'll make an acceptation for you two."-Fudge smiled brightly at Hermione and Draco-" Mr. Malfoy, you can go to Miss Granger's common room if you wish. Now, I do believe that your current common room is in the dungeons, is that correct Miss Granger?"-Hermione nodded-" Alright. You may go into her common room Mr. Malfoy, but if I here a word about you hurting one of those Gryffindor girls, I'll-" Fudge started to point his finger at Draco, but Hermione interrupted him " He wouldn't do that, sir. I trust him, and he trusts me." Hermione hugged Draco's arm and just smiled. " Well, okay. Farwell. I must be off to lead the battle." Fudge shook Draco's hand, " Good luck, sir." Draco said, as he shook Hermione's hand. " Yes! Good luck." Hermione said. Fudge mounted his broom and kicked off.
As soon as he was out of hearing range, Harry, Ron and Ginny flooded them with questions. " What did he look like?" " Did you see any death eaters?" " Why did he want you, 'Mione?!" " Are you sure okay?" " Hey, Draco. Was your Father there?" And the one Harry, Ron, and Ginny all asked at the same time was, " How did they get you?!" Hermione lifted her arm in the air about to tell them to be quiet, when Harry yelped in pain. He pressed his fingers to his scar. " Harry!" Ginny screamed. " Oh my god! Are you okay?!" Hermione asked, about to lean down and help him up (he had fallen from the pain), but Harry backed away. " Don't come closer!" He said to Hermione. " What?! Harry, what in the world has gotten into you!" Hermione demanded, walking closer to him. " Get away, Death eater!" Ginny and Ron gasped and backed away. But Draco moved forward and gave Hermione's shoulder a squeeze, " You'd better tell them 'Mione." Hermione sighed, rolled up her sleeve and looked the other way. " HERMIONE!" " AH!" " I TOLD YOU!" erupted from Ron, Ginny, and Harry ( in that order). " Voldemort did it to me.I didn't want the fucking thing!!!" Hermione said starting to cry. Harry winced as he edged closer to Hermione. " It's alright, we'll get it off somehow. Don't worry. But something I don't understand." Harry said as Ginny and Ron walked over to Hermione. " What?" Ginny asked. " Well, when I feel the pain is when I'm around a death eater or Voldemort"-Ron winced, he still hadn't gotten over saying Voldemorts' name-" But when I'm near Draco, I don't feel anything." Draco sighed. " Okay, listen. There are two types of death eaters. The first type is the one that never bottled up anger. The other type is one who held their anger. The first type isn't a loyal follower. Yes, I agree that most un-loyal death eaters do let out their anger a few times, but not many. I'm a type one. I guess that Hermione here, has the potential for a true follower." Draco said, not wanting to meet Hermione's eyes. " W- what?!" Ron stuttered. " Y-you mean that Hermione could be a true Death Eater?!" Ginny asked, raising a hand to cover her mouth. " Yes. But the only way she won't be one is if she never holds in her anger. So that means, whenever a professor or a friend makes you mad, Hermione, you're going to have to let it out, somehow. You can throw a pillow at a wall, or you can scream, or whatever. But you have to make sure that you don't keep it inside." Draco said to Hermione, who had tears on her cheeks. " Come on guys. We need to get into the castle." Harry said suddenly. " Yeah, I'm tired." Hermione yawned. She gazed up into the sky. The clouds grew darker and darker. " It's going to rain in about an hour maybe." She said as they slowly made their way to the castle. " Okay, well, we'll be inside. I don't think we need to play in the rain today, do we?" Draco aske Hermione giving her a sideways glance and cocking an eyebrow. " Ha ha." Hermione mocked. " What? You liked that idea about a week or two ago." Draco said.
Harry, Ron, and Ginny stopped at the entrance hall. " Well, me and Ron gotta go. Bye, 'Mione." Harry said, hugging his friend. " Bye, Harry. Ron." Hermione gave Ron a hug, too and they walked up towards the Gryffindor tower. Hermione turned back to Draco and Ginny. She slid her arm through Draco's and they walked down to the dungeons. " You two are going to bed as soon as we get in the common room." Ginny told them sternly. " Ginny." Draco said. Ginny stared at him and blushed. IT wasn't often that he addressed her. " Don't worry. I think we already decided that." He said, giving Hermione an amused looked as she yawned. " Yeah. Let's just say that me and Draco had a long night." Hermione said giving Draco a wink. Ginny's eyes widened and she looked at the floor, " Oh." Hermione giggled as they came to the Gryffindor girls' common room. The room was in conversation until Ginny, Hermione, and Draco entered the room. " Hermione." Someone said. " Hey guys." Hermione replied, slightly embarrassed to be walking into the common room with a Slytherin. Whispers started up and Hermione blushed. Ginny took out her wand and made Hermione's bed into her own separate room. Hermione smiled at Ginny. " Thanks, Ginny." She whispered as Draco went on into her room. " No problem. Sleep well, 'Mione!" Ginny said, smiling as Hermione walked into her room. Hermione closed the door. She grabbed her wand, which was in her side table drawer, and changed into her night clothes. Draco did the same and they climbed into the bed. " Night." Hermione said simply, before she fell asleep. Draco smiled, kissed her forehead, and fell asleep just as fast.
Hermione woke up to here excited and happy screams and yells. Hermione glanced over at Draco. He was awake, but he was staring at the ceiling with a huge smile plastered on his face. " What's up with you?" Hermione asked as she cuddled up with him. " Good news." Draco said. " What?" Hermione asked eagerly. " Look at your mark." Draco said, still looking at the ceiling. Hermione rolled up her sleeve and gasped. The Dark Mark was gone. " It's gone!" she said. " Yup. Mine, too." Draco said, then turning to look Hermione in the face. " We won." " W-we beat the Dark Lord!??" Hermione screamed. " OH! Don't yell in my ear. And yes, we did beat Voldemort. He's dead. Ginny came in here, waking me up screaming 'we won! We won! No more Dark Lord!' She was going to tell you, but she told me to tell you." Hermione hugged Draco. " I never thought this would happen!" She said happily. She kissed Draco. " Me neither, 'Mione. Me neither." He said as he held her in his arms, listening as the hard rain pounded the castle.
