The Bitter End
Chapter 19: The Sorrowful DreamHermione was gracefully walking toward Draco in a park. He looked older to her so obviously a few years passed by. He was still as handsome as ever. She smiled as she continued to walk towards him. Her heart beating madly in her chest. When they finally met up with each other he kneeled on his right knee. He then took out a blue box.
"Hermione," Draco's voice sounded a little deeper. "I've been thinking about this for years. I can't stop thinking about you. So I have to ask...Hermione Granger, will you marry me?"
Hermione's eyes widened and he opened the blue box revealing a beautiful diamond ring. Hermione was flabbergasted. She didn't know what to think. But she knew she loved him dearly. And there was only one answer she wanted to reply.
"Yes, Draco, yes," she said and Draco put the ring on her finger. They then engaged in a deep loving kiss. Hermione felt his soft lips leave from hers.
Hermione felt the happiness turn to something else. It turned dark, very dark. She slowly opened her eyes revealing the new sight before her. Draco was gone. The sun was gone. Her beautiful life was gone. It felt so dark, dreadful and evil where she was. Where was she, she didn't know.
Then she heard footsteps approach. She didn't see who walked in but that persons voice made her freeze right where she stood. This person definately wasn't Draco. She tensed up immediately, all her happiest thoughts going straight through the gutter.
"Welcome to my world," a cold voice said making Hermione shiver.
"V-V-Voldemort," Hermione stuttered in a low whisper.
"Lord Voldemort I prefer," Voldemort corrected her with a sneer.
"Why am I here? What do you want from me?" Hermione asked slowly.
"You'll see why you are here, and to answer your second question I want nothing from you," Voldemort snapped.
Hermione then saw him walk up to her and she gasped at the sight. He looked so pale and weak. His face made her shiver, everything about him made her feel uncomfortable.
"Ah the fellow Mudblood is here," Hermione heard then saw Alexa walk out wearing her Death Eater apparel.
"Oh, do we have something to show you," Alexa said with excitement in her voice and Voldemort gave a cold chuckle.
Then the next thing Hermione saw both made her angry and broke her heart. She saw Draco. He didn't look good at all. He didn't even look like himself anymore. He was beaten, bruised and battered. His lips were busted, his eyes were black, his face was cut up, and he looked like he was now going on his final breath.
"DRACO!" Hermione screamed and was going to run to him but her body stood rooted to the spot. She was being held back by a spell Alexa or Voldemort put on her. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!?"
"We," Alexa started. "Gave him what he deserved. He betrayed us by falling in love with you."
"Draco," Hermione sobbed looking at his frail body. She then looked at Alexa. "You can't do this."
"Sorry Mudblood, we already have," Alexa said and Voldemort nodded.
Hermione tried her best to break loose from the invisible grip holding her. Tears falling from her eyes, her heart breaking looking at her lovers broken body. Hermione continued to try to come out but then she felt blood running down her hand. The invisible rope was cutting her, the harder she tried to break loose the harder the cut would be.
"Leave him alone," Hermione cried. "Please."
"Oh we've only just begun," said Voldemort.
They then threw Draco towards the center of the room. He stayed laying down on the floor grimacing too weak for anymore damage.
"You did this to yourself," Alexa said then kicked him hard in the ribs.
"Fuck you," Draco whispered as he winced with pain.
"No you," Alexa growled and took out her wand.
"Stop. Leave him," Hermione said quietly. "If anything I should be blamed. I'm the one who started this."
"Hermione," Draco winced. "Don't bother."
"Oooh," said Alexa. "The more to punish, the merrier."
Hermione was then pulled towards the center of the room and was now standing right next to Draco. Alexa walked up to her and smacked her hard in the face. Hermione fell on the stone floor with hard contact. Draco tried to move to help her but he couldn't.
"You wanted this," Voldemort sneered. "Believe me, you'll get it."
"Oh, you won't feel a thing," Alexa smirked. "I promise I'll be soft."
Hermione watched Alexa walk around them and she saw Voldemort pull out his wand.
"Crucio," Alexa said and Hermione screamed in pain. Draco tried to make effort trying to help her again but failed once more.
"St-," Draco started but was silenced by Voldemort.
Hermione felt the pain rush through her. Then she heard Voldemort.
"Crucio," he smirked.
Hermione felt like she was going to explode. Not only was Alexa cursing her but now Voldemort was too. The power was so strong, so fierce, possibly even Dumbledore would have problems facing them. Hermione began to shake violently. Her muscles spasming to the torture.
Then the curse was pulled. The shaking stopped but her mind was spinning in circles.
"Diffindo," Alexa said and Hermione closed her eyes. She knew this spell. It breaks whatever it's casted on. Hermione then felt her skin ripping on some parts of her body. Tears continued to fall...she was now dying, dying to survive.
The curse was pulled. Hermione just lied there on the center of the floor in the room. Draco lying right next to her. Blood dripping from her wounds. She felt so helpless, so weak. She wanted this to stop. To stop the hate, the pain. Unfortunately that wasn't going to happen.
She and Draco continued to be tortured. Then Alexa and Voldemort picked up she and Draco and left them standing.
"Aww, don't they make a cute couple?" Alexa mimicked a baby tone of voice then chuckled.
"Well," Voldemort started. "They'll look better once they're dead."
"Okay, then may death come their way," Alexa replied.
Alexa then walked up to Draco.
"I really really liked you Dray," said Alexa. "But you had to like the piece of trash next to you. I'm so sorry about this. But just to let you know...I love you."
Alexa then kissed Draco's busted lips and pointed her wand directly into his chest.
"Avada Kedavra," Alexa said and Draco collasped now limp.
"Draco," Hermione sobbed watching him.
"Oh would you please shut up," Alexa snapped.
Voldemort walked up to her. "I never liked your types. I never will, so I'll see in another world where you will still be the dirty person you are."
Hermione felt his wand be pointed directly in her chest. She closed her eyes.
"Avada Kedavra," Voldemort said and those were the final words she heard.
Hermione woke up with a start. Cold sweat on her body. Tears falling from her eyes. She was alive. She wasn't hurt. It was a dream...a nightmare.
"Why did it feel so real?" Hermione said quietly to herself wiping the tears from her eyes. Then she thought of him. "Draco!"
She jumped off of her bed and ran down to his room. His door was closed and she rammed herself inside. Then she saw him sleeping peacefully in his bed. She sighed with a breath of relief seeing that he too was safe and well.
She didn't feel safe to be alone in her room. So she climbed onto his bed and lied down next to him and he instantly wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you no matter what," she whispered quietly and his grip on her got tighter.
She then closed her eyes once again seeing the vivid nightmare. She couldn't fall back asleep, but being in Draco's arms comforted her. She then looked at the clock next to Draco's bed. She saw its bold bright neon colors show 3:10. She sighed deeply and couldn't fall back asleep. Hermione just continued to think about the dream and what the dream meant. Did it mean she had to end what they had? Did it mean that they were going to die together? Did it mean that no matter what they were going to be separated? Or was it the complete opposite? Her thoughts and questions continued to ponder in her mind. She then looked and watched the dark ceiling awaiting for the next day to come.
