Everlasting Memories
Chapter 21
Losing My Grip~somewhere mysterious~
"My Lord, the girl, she brings word of what is going on." Said one of the figures dressed in black robes with a hood over his face.
"Good. Bring he here." He hissed and the person did as they were told and returned with a small figure in black robes as well.
The girl bowed on one knee in respect to him. "My Lord."
"What news do you bring me girl?"
"News on what takes place as of right now."
"I am listening."
"The three women plan to start a training program and the other teachers have already agreed to it but I do not know when it is to happen. You we're right My Lord, instead of using the potion they did a spell instead. Even with the curse on her she wasn't able to tell them the rest of our plans and made her lie as well."
Voldemort smiled wickedly. "Yes. The mark that I have carved into her back enables her to speak the whole truth…so if she some how breaks it and tells them it will instantly kill her."
"That was very brilliant."
"Now about these three witches?"
"There magic is very different from ours…I-I've never seen anything like it and they are very powerful."
"Then they should be on our side!"
"But how!?"
"I have an idea. But first let me see your face."
"If you have seen my sister's then you have seen mine, but as you wish." The person pulled off the hood and revealed her long hair and face.
"Ah yes…I think you should know your sister put up a fight. A very good fight. But why should I let you join?"
"I turned my back on my family for they have kept me from receiving my greatest power. I killed my parents, just to exact my revenge. Now that they are gone my sister only stands in the way now, I shall eliminate her as well."
"Spoken with determination. You are not in yet…no. Think of this as a test. If you succeed you shall be a member of the DeathEaters if not you shall die a horrorsome death as I see fit."
"I understand."
"Good. This is your assignment….."

As Hermione sat on the bank of the lake, events keep passing in her head and good and bad. She sighed as she let the wind brush the locks off her face making her slightly relax. She closed her eyes to listen to the wind, she felt as if the wind was trying to warn her of something to come. But it could be her imagination right? She was so engrossed with her thoughts she didn't notice a person taking a seat next to her. "What are you thinking about?"
Hermione recognized that voice anywhere. "Just thinking of what could happen if we let it happen."
Draco cocked his head to the left confused by what she said. "Okay you lost me."
"I was just putting in a easier sentence than to tell all, its just all too much for me."
"What to talk about it?"
She sighed. "My parents…they are dead and I am now staying with my three cousins, you no longer and idiotic prat-"
"Hey!!!"
"Harry's upcoming battle and so much death."
"Look at the upside. You are no longer a book worm, bushy haired know-it-all muggleborn. Everything about you I hate but I love as well."
"Same here blondie."
"Bucktooth."
"Air head."
"Know it all."
"Conceited prat."
"Book worm."
"Pansy lover."
"Hermione…now that's gone too far. I would never stoop that low."
"I know but I knew that would get your attention. Draco there's something I want to tell you-"
"And what's that?"
"Not now. Later on, at midnight. Meet me in the Astronomy Tower will you?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now come on, dinner is about to start." Draco stood up first and helped Hermione to her feet. They walked closely with each other but not holding hands, so Hermione changed that. She reached over and took his hand and hers, and that's how it stayed.
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
"Harry there's something I need to tell you and I don't know if you'll be happy with this or not, but please don't leave me Harry!!! Please don't!!! I do love you!!!" the young red headed cried as she hugged onto his chest.
"Ginny, what is it?" Harry asked putting his arms around her.
"I went to see Madame Pomprey today…"
"What's wrong!?" Harry asked alarmed.
"She-she asked if I was okay because I haven't been feeling good for a while now, that's why you haven't been seeing me. Well she gave me this test…and-and-oh Harry I'm pregnant!!!!"
This caught Harry totally off guard because then he fainted. "Harry?! HARRY!!!"
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Hermione kept sneaking glances at Draco during dinner and he saw this and each time he mouth the word 'what.' Hermione looked around the table and notice Harry nor Ginny we're here yet and this made her slightly worried while Ron stuffed his face with food as usual. She sighed again and looked at Paige, Piper and Phoebe who were having a heated discussion. She looked back down at her food and decided she wasn't hungry, so she got up and left quietly hoping that no one noticed but someone did.
About half way down the hall way she heard her voice being calling her. "Hey!!! Mya wait up!!!," the person caught up and it turned out to be none other than Piper. "Why didn't you touch your food?"
"I wasn't very much hungry…I just feel like being alone right now." Hermione began to walk away but Piper stopped her.
"You want to talk about it?"
Hermione hesitated for a moment before she nodded her head. "Okay." Piper then turned and began to lead the way to her room, where she shared it with Paige and Phoebe. When they entered the room Hermione sat down and looked down at the sleeping baby Wyatt.
"Alright what's wrong?"
"Everything."
"Care to be more descriptive."
Tears started to fall but she harshly wiped them away. "Mum and Dad…my life right now and how's it going. It just sucks right now."
Piper flipped her hair back and nodded for her to continue. "I didn't expect things this bad to happen…I didn't expect them to leave me so soon. I thought that they would be here when I got married and have children, but they're not going to be. And Draco. I never expected things between us to be like this cause for the past five years we have despised each other and never got along without spitting ugly remarks at each other. Now I never felt like this for anyone before, I feel connected to him. Under that cold behavior he's really a nice genuine person and very caring, also overly protective."
"Sounds like he really cares about you and you care for him."
"I do."
"So why don't you tell him."
"I'm afraid."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid that he doesn't feel the same way I do, and I don't want that to happen."
Piper stroked Hermione's hair as she looked straight into her eyes. "Mya love is all about taking chances and the chances you don't want to make you have to. No matter what the result is you have to be ready for the consequences. You should speak now before its too late. You don't want to miss a once in a life time chance, take risks and together you two will overcome anything. That's how me and Leo did it."
"You're right…"
"And you're Mother and Father didn't leave you and they never have or never will, you are their light Mya. Seeing you happy is what all that matters to them, and I'm sure they'd be happy to see that their baby girl is growing up to be a strong determined woman."
Hermione smiled through tears and hugged Piper, happy that she's here. "Thank you Piper."
"What are cousins for."
Hermione looked down at her watch and gasped. "thank you for listening but I have to get back to the Common Room."
"Alright just know that we are here for you, I mean we are Charmed after all."
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
Draco and Hermione lay on the floor of the Astronomy Tower staring out the window, looking at the stars above. "What is it that you wanted to talk about Mya?"
Hermione took a deep breath preparing herself for what she is about to say and for his reaction.
See I'm going through a situation That I can't helpWanna get a little closer
But I promised myself
That I would never give my heart
Away again
"Draco…we may have had a lot of differences in the past. I mean with we hated each others guts, you know, but now I know how I feel…I know what I want…"
"Mya what are you saying?"
"Things changed between us so much and I like it and fear it at the same time, I don't want to get hurt again."
Oo oo babe, I know it's hardButcha gotta understand it
The truth is all the hurt and the pain
And the shit that you get
When you have it
Ain't worth it
" How does that scare you, you know I would never do any thing to hurt you."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"Its just that we have grown closer than before, and makes me wonder if any of this is real or are you playing a sick joke on me."
I've been there so many timesI should know better but I
Can't stop what I feel
When you're next to me
I really think I
Finally found someone
That could be the one
"The way I feel for you is no joke and if it is I made a fool of myself as did you."
"Draco?"
"Mmm?"
"What are your feelings for me?"
Silence.
But I promised myselfThat I wouldn't give into love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
'Cause I know that you're the one
Draco didn't look directly into her eyes, he avoided her eyes when she asked him that question. 'How do I feel about her?' he asked himself that question. When he saw that she lowered his eyes, he knew he saw hurt and regret in her eyes.
Baby you're the oneSee the problem with relationships
In general is that it's always a game
In the beginning they'll do
Anything to have you
And once they do it's never the same
And I, know everyone out there can relate
Hermione began to get up and get ready to leave. "Mya!"
"No you don't have to explain, I know how you feel now. Your face told all that needed to be known." She headed for the door but Draco grabbed her roughly by the arms so that he was facing her.
"No. You don't know!!"
"Yes I do!!! Its clear to me that you don't feel the same as me!!!"
"You have no idea how the hell I feel!!!!" Draco argued back as Hermione struggled in his tight grip.
So the question isOne: do I really trust this feeling
Two: do I wanna let it pass by me
Three: do you think its only superficial
Four: can it actually be different this time
Someone to love me
Someone to be my everything
Maybe I've stumbled upon
Finally I found someone
That could be the one
"Listen to me!"
"NO!"
"Hermione damn it! You wanna know how I feel, then I'll fucking tell you!!!! I have never felt like this before for someone in my life!!! Every time I'm around you I feel like I am really alive, and when you're not here I feel empty! My Mother showed me love, but this is different!!!!!!! Yes Mya, you figured it out!!!! I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, am in love with Hermione Leigh Ann Granger!!!!"
Hermione stopped squirming in his grip and looked into his eyes, her eyes red and puffy from silently crying. She wrenched her left arm away and slapped him.
But I promised myself That I wouldn't give into loveAnd I'm scared
And I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
'Cause I know that you are the one
Finally found someone
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give into love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
'Cause I know that you are the one
Draco looked at Hermione and all she did was look at him with a confused, angry, and a look he couldn't quite place. He didn't expect her to slap him when he told her he loved her, no he thought she would tell him that she loved him. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe this was just a emotion that he needed because his Mother was dead now, cause of his Father.
Hermione just kept looking at him and then did something unexpected.
Oh babySweet darling
I
I think I finally found
Finally found someone
That could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give into love
And I'm scared and I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad because I know that you're the
One
Could be the one, but I promised myself
That I wouldn't give into love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
This is bad
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
She reached over and caressed his check then brought his mouth upon hers and began kissing him passionately, like never before.
Cause I know that you're the oneFinally found someone
Could be the one
But I promised myself
That I wouldn't give into love
And I'm scared
And I'm nervous
Don't wanna be hurt anymore
This is bad
Cause I know that you are the one
Hermione and Draco pulled away and stared at each others eyes, love shinning in both. "Draco Malfoy, I love you." Then they began to kiss again, fingers intertwined with each other.
