Chapter 8: Losing Him
A/N The end is here! But never fear! The sequel is on its way!
Draco sat in the Common Room waiting for Hermione to return. He jumped at the smallest sounds. What if she isn't coming back? He thought frantically. What if she is gone? Oh my god she isn't coming back.
Draco hung his head cursing himself.
"I should've known it was too good to last." He stood up and walked to his room.
Hermione walked into the Common Room and knocked on Draco's door. She opened it and walked over to him. She slid in between the sheets and snuggled against Draco.
"You came back!" he said.
"Of course I did!" she whispered back.
"Marry me!" he said
"What?"
"We want to be together forever right?"
"Yes!" Hermione replied confused.
"Then marry me!"
"We're too young!"
"Hermione, why can't forever start today?"
Hermione looked up into his gray eyes and realized that he was serious. She reached up and pulled his face to hers and kissed him.
She broke the kiss and nodded.
"Promise me something, Draco?"
"Anything, Hermione!"
"Promise me that no matter what happens you'll never say goodbye. Promise me that I can trust your promises forever!"
Draco rolled on top of her.
"My promises are as good as gold." He said slipping the ring on her finger. "I would never hurt you on purpose!" he said
He magicked their clothes off and kissed Hermione from the base of her neck to the bottom of he naval. Smiling he climbed back on top pf her and she shoved he hips upward forceing Draco inside of her.
A look of pleasure crossed both of their faces as Draco slowly pulled in and out. Reaching their climaxes they screamed each other's name.
That was the last time they saw each other!
Hermione woke up in an empty bed. She looked for Draco in the bathroom, her bedroom and in the Common Room. She didn't see him at breakfast. When Hermione entered the Potions Classroom and saw to her dismay that Draco wasn't there she began to get worried.
She fought hard all class to hold back her tears. She kept twirling the 1kt gold ring that Draco had slipped on her finger the night before. For the first time she realized the pink diamond and she sighed.
She took her time packing her things once class was over. She walked up to Professor Snape's desk.
"Professor Snape?" she asked
He jumped and turned around.
"Miss. Granger?"
"Sir, do you know where Draco is?" she asked as a tear splashed to the floor.
"No, but I found this taped to my office door this morning!" he reached into his pocket and handed Hermione a crumpled piece of paper. She smiled as she read the outside.
"Thank you!" she whispered. Still crying she walked to the door.
"Hermione?"
She turned around and stared at Professor Snape.
"Draco always keeps his promises."
Hermione nodded and walked out into the court yard.
Sitting on a bench she opened the letter as it started raining.
Hermione, It read
As I promised that I would never say goodbye you will not find that word in this letter. I plan to keep my promise. I WILL be back for you. I love you Hermione!
Don't Forget Me!
Draco
The rain began pouring down harder as though it responded to her emotions. "Don't forget me!" she repeated to herself. "I never will Draco! I'll never say goodbye!
