Hermione woke in a seamless white room. It obviously was small but she couldn't see where the floor ending and the walls began. Tiredly she rolled over to see the sleeping figure of the love of her life Draco. Of course he was the only one for her, in her pain she had forgotten that for a moment, but her passion for him was simply too much for her to just throw away, especially when the rest of her life had crumbled into a disastrous heap. Draco, Harry and Ron were the only things she had left that were solid and dependable; she could always rely on them to be there for her. If, unfortunately, they came to the end of their lives then she knew they would wait for her in Heaven, it was unquestionable, the four of them had an exceptionally close bond, they had been through so much that they needed a new word for the relationship that they had with each other, they weren't simply friends, they were closer than most people were to another in their entire lives.

As Hermione came to this conclusion she turn to her Draco, he belonged to her now. He was sleeping so peacefully, no existence of the smirk that was once plastered on his angelic face. He was sitting on a chair facing Hermione, but his arms were folded onto the bed and his face lay tiredly on top. She leant forward and kissed hi lips softly, feeling the softness of his lips she seemed satisfied and took one of his hands in her own before laying down and falling asleep once more.

When Hermione next woke she saw that there were now four people sitting anxiously waiting for her to awake. The first she noticed of course was Draco, but Harry, Ron and Minerva were also there all conversing near the door.

"Hi" She said sitting up yawning.

The four immediately turned to her concerned looks on their faces. They hurried over to her bed, where Draco took her hand in his and kissed her lightly on the lips. Hermione smiled a small smile as she looked into Draco's eyes. Draco was shocked that she was smiling and actually grinned back.

"So..." She said.

"Oh, 'Mi, we are so glad that you are okay" Ron said lunging forward, it was evident that he had been crying and she hugged him tightly and kissed him on the cheek whispering a small, "Thank you" in his ear.

He just looked back at her sadly.

Harry leapt at her and hugged her tightly, though refusing to let her go.

"Ha... Harry, really I'm fine" Hermione whispered into his ear.

When he pulled away she saw that he was crying openly for her, he then grinned, while tears were still streaming down hie face. It wasn't a happy smile but it wasn't a sad smile either, Hermione then concluded that it was a relieved smile. She was numb from all the pain she had gone through, and she didn't know whether she liked it or not. To feel was to be sane and human, and she couldn't feel the pain that she should have been feeling.

Minerva was still standing near the doorway a look of utter relief on her face, she smiled at her past favourite student before turning and walking out of the room, leaving the troubled teenager with the people she needed most.

"Hermione, Zullious has been kissed by the Dementors, I... I just though you might have wanted to know" Said Draco quietly.

"Draco I don't blame you" Hermione said, correctly reading why he had said this.

"But it's all my fault, it's all my fault..." He trailed off tears running down his cheeks.

"Draco, it is not your fault, listen to me", she wiped the tears away with her thumb before continuing, "We knew this relationship was going to be hard, and yes nobody should have to deal with what I had to, but nobody should have to be bound by the prejudices that we had to overcome, and if I deserved this for ruining more than one family then that's the way it is, but I don't take anything back and neither should you, I love you with all my heart"

"I love you more" He whispered back, kissing her with all his passion.
