Center Back to Old Ways /center

Hermione lay in her bed trying to convince herself that she did the right thing with Draco. Tears came from her eyes ass he thought about him. She tried to fall asleep, but she couldn't. Memories of her and Draco kept on popping in her head. She got up, not bothering to cover up her sleeping clothes in a robe, and headed downstairs.

When she got downstairs, Draco was sitting on the couch staring at the fire. She could have sworn that she saw a tear fall from his emotionless eyes. She turned around and started to go back upstairs when Draco spoke.

"So you can't even be in the same room with me anymore?" He asked coldly.

Hermione sighed and went to sit on the couch as far away from him as possible.

Draco turned to look at her, but Hermione turned away. It was too painful to look at him straight in his eyes. "Can I ask you a question?" He asked his voice emotionless.

Hermione held back tears and nodded. She turned to look at him and saw that his face was full of pain and sadness.

"Why?" He asked.

Hermione swallowed hard as a tear managed to escape the corner of her left eye. "Don't Draco." She pleaded.

"Don't what?" He asked, his voice full with sadness and anger.

"Don't do this!" She said looking at him straight in the eyes. "You don't know how hard this for me, and how much it is hurting me!"

"Hurting you? You're the one that broke up with me!" He yelled angrily. "Just don't ever talk to me again." He said coldly. He stormed off to his room .

Hermione felt her heart breaking. With tears flowing down her eyes, she ran into her room, and cried herself to sleep.

Meanwhile, Draco lay in his bed thinking about what he just did. 'If she wants to be like that then I will go back to being my old self. I am going to make her feel bad for dumping me. No one dumps Draco Malfoy.' He smirks to himself and went to asleep.

Hermione was awoken by the rude voice of Draco pounding on the door. "Granger, wake the fuck up. Potty and Weasel are downstairs! Get your arse up and come downstairs, I can't stand them any longer!" He yelled through the door.

Hermione groaned not wanting to get up. Sighing she got up and got a robe to cover herself up and dragged her feet downstairs so see a worried Harry and Ron. "Hey guys." She said walking over and sitting in between them on the couch.

"Are you and Draco fighting?" Ron asked confused by his language

"Last night I broke up with me. And apparently, he has gone back to his old ways." She said rolling her eyes. "Is there something you wanted?"

This time Harry spoke. "Madam Pomfrey owled us and told us that you were in the Hospital Wing. But when we got there last night, you weren't there. Madam Pomfrey was furious." He said.

"Damn, I forgot to go back after the Deatheater meeting." She said hitting her head in anger.

"Oh. Why did he call the meeting?" Harry asked curiously.

"That right. . . you guys don't know." She said.

"Don't know what?" Harry asked starting at her with Ron.

"Well. . . last night. . . I killed. . ." She said trying to say it. While they looked at her in horror at the word 'killed'. ". . .Lucius Malfoy."

"How?" Ron asked.

"I don't really want to talk about it." She replied quietly. They nodded to show that they understood. "Let me get dress and then we can go to breakfast." She said and she ran into her room to get dress.

When she cam back downstairs Draco and Harry were face to face giving eachother death glares with Ron by Harry's side, giving him also a glare.

"I didn't do anything to your precious little slut." Draco spat.

Harry couldn't take it anymore. He lunged at Draco and knocked him to the floor with Ron cheering him on.

"Stop!" She yelled and instantly Harry flew off of Draco and into the couch.

"What the?" Harry asked confused.

"Let's just go. The ferret isn't worth our time." She said giving Draco a glare as she ushered the boys out of the room. As soon as they got out of the room, Hermione scolded Harry. And he replied with the usual he was just trying to protect her. "Well, I can take care of myself." They said they were sorry and got seated and ate breakfast.

After a long day of classes and a short supper, Hermione went up to her dormitory to take a long bath. After an hour of relaxing and abandoning her worries, she got out of the bath and went into her room. She wanted to do some writing in the common room so she put on a baby blue low cut tank top and some black short shorts hoping that Draco wasn't there. She grabbed her favourite book and headed downstairs when she heard an awful high pitch giggle coming from the couch.

She shuddered knowing what was happening but wasn't about to let him get the best of her. She walked down the stairs and saw Draco and a Slytherin girl snogging out of the couch. The Slytherin was on her back with her shirt unbutton while Draco was on top of her feeling around her and snogging her senselessly.

Hermione cleared her throat to be noticed. They didn't seem to notice. She gave a louder cough and she knew they were ignoring her. 'Fine be that way.' She thought as she smirked. She flicked her wrist and Draco flew off of her and into the wall. Just as the Slytherin got up, Hermione held up her hand and she froze. Draco recovered and looked at her confused.

"Don't give me that look! Who do the hell do you think you are bringing this slut into our dormitory?" She asked pointing at the girl frozen.

"I can do whatever the hell I please. And why do you care?" He yelled.

"I care because this is my common room too! Keep you filthy little sluts in your room or you will be frozen just like her and I might not take the time to unfreeze you." She threaten. "Got it?"

Draco sneered. "Whatever Granger."

Hermione rolled her eyes and unfroze the girl. "Get out." She demanded.

"I don't listen to filthy little Gryffindors." She sneered towards to Hermione.

Hermione chuckled. Her eyes began to glow and she walked towards to the Slytherin who backed up into fear and turned to Draco. "Drakie?"

"I said NOW!" She yelled, her voice echoing through the room.

The Slytherin ran out of the room in fear. Hermione's eyes return to their normal chocolate brown and she broke into a fit of giggles as she collapsed on the couch leaving Draco fuming.

"What the hell was that?" He asked. "You're going to get yourself killed! What if her parents are Deatheaters? They could tell the Dark Lord! Nobody is supposed to know about your powers! You could have just put yourself in danger!" He scolded her.

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "I thought you didn't care?" She asked.

"I-I. . .Well. . . I. . ." He stuttered.

"That's what I thought." She said sitting down and turning her attention to her book. Not having anything to say, Draco went up to his room.

For the next couple of months, Hermione and Draco fought and called eachother names. It was now March and Draco's birthday was coming up. The Dark Lord hadn't called any meetings but The Order suspected that he was planning something.

Hermione walked through the halls on her way to the Library. As she turned the corner, she bumped into someone. As she began to fall, someone grabbed her waist and held her up. Just then, she had a vision:

The Dark Lord was standing in front of Draco and he seemed angry. "You have betrayed me. You choose Dumbledore instead of me." He voice echoed through the walls of Malfoy Manor. "Cruico!" He said and Draco fell onto his knees. "Goodbye." He whispered. "Avada Kedavra"He said.

"No!" A voice said and The Dark Lord burst into flames. The Dark Lord was gone.

Draco fell onto the floor motionless and he looked dead.

"No!" Hermione cried as she burst into tears. She hugged whoever helped her up not noticing who is was.

"Hermione?" The person asked.

Hermione then realized who it was. It was Draco. "I. . . h-had a v-vision." She stuttered.

"Not here." He whispered. He picked her up and carried her to their common room where he carefully placed her on the couch. "Now tell me. What was in the vision?" He asked gently. All of his angry towards her washed away instantly.

"I had a vision that you and the Dark Lord talking. He put the Cruico on you and then all of a sudden as he placed the a- , other curse on you, and then all of a sudden The Dark Lord burst into flames." She said sniffing.

"That's great! But why are you crying?" He asked.

"Right before he burst into flames. . . he placed the Killing Curse on you." She said bursting into tears again.

Draco stared at her. "Well. . . w-we need to go to D-Dumbledore." He said.

Hermione nodded and together they walked to Dumbledore's office. After they explained to Dumbledore, he assured them that nothing was to happen, but told them not to leave the castle grounds under any circumstances. They agreed and walked back to the common room in silence.

When they got to the common room, Draco's couldn't take the silence. "Hermione wait." He called to Hermione as she was heading to her room.

"So now you're using my first name. No more Granger?" She replied coldly.

"Hermione, I'm sorry ok?" He pleaded with her walking up to her and embracing her in a hug.

Hermione shook his hands off of him. "Draco no." She said turning away from him.

"Hermione? Why are you doing this? I know you still care me. Why else would you care about me dieing?" He said.

"I know I do!" She cried. "That's the point."

"You're not making any sense." He said.

"I don't want to fall in love with you!" She finally said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because of that damn vision. I know that you are going to die and I don't want to feel the pain when you do. If I fall in love with you, then I won't be able to live with myself." She said breaking down into tears. Draco tried to hug her but she pushed him away.

"There is no way that I am going to let that vision happen." He said.

"There is nothing that you can do. All of my visions have come true." She said. "The one about you going after you father, the one about you and that slut snogging on the couch and there is nothing that you can do to stop this one from happening."

"That isn't true." He whispered.

"Yes it is." She said starting into his grey eyes. "I have these visions for a reason. To prepare me for what is going to come. I have not been able to stop one, because it isn't possible. You're going to die and there is nothing that you can do to stop it." She said falling onto her knees crying.

"But it's too late. . ." He said pulling her into his arms. "I have already fallen in love with you."

Hermione looked up and smiled. "You really mean that?" She asked.

Draco nodded and smiled. Draco leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. Hermione gave a little moan in his mouth. Draco picked her up and carried her to his room where they spend the night expressing their feelings and love towards eachother.
