Chapter 5

Beginning

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Everything did not turn out fine.

Sydney's father slipped into coma 3 days after they got to the muggle hospital. Althea went back to the Malfoy manor and started browsing books, hoping that she may stumble upon a magical cure.

Meanwhile Sydney went back to their house in the country.

The house was a mess. Kitchen utensils were piled up in the sink. Wrappers, papers and clothes were strewn all over the floor.

Sydney slowly picked her way upstairs. Her room was probably the cleanest part of the house.

She entered her parent's bedroom and started to sift through their drawers. The doctors said that in order to keep her father breathing, they needed to hook up life support. She immediately agreed and told the doctors to do everything in their power to keep him alive. Never once thinking of the money she would be needing.

Now she's here scavenging her parents' room. Hoping that maybe she'll find pieces of jewelry or treasures that will help her cover the hospital fees.

Draco drove down the familiar willow-lined roads slowly, taking in the view. Drove past the vast fields, now yellow, waiting to be harvested; until he reached the cliff that he came to love.

He got out the roses. And proceeded to jog up the cliff.

He didn't have time to look at the surroundings. He just wanted to talk to her or maybe just feel her presence in the wind.

He had taken Harry's advice. He had gone past the mourning stage and had somewhat accepted the fact that she was dead - that his Hermione was dead. But somewhere inside his heart he still believed, that someday she would come back.

He closed his eyes and plopped down to the soft green grass smiling contentedly. This was all he needed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

::dream sequence:: He was sitting on a bed of flowers. The air was fragrant. It seemed intoxicating. She had wrapped her slender arms around him.

"I'm back... I missed you so much." she said, her breath tingling his skin.

She stood up, sat beside him and laid her head on his lap. She raised her hand cupping his face and bringing him closer until their lips met in a soft and tender kiss.

"I'm sorry I left you so long." she said smiling. Her wavy brown locks blowing around her face.

He looked at her eyes they were brown, soulful... loving and warm. He traced every feature on her face, memorizing it with his fingertips.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I see you've come back."

That voice...

Draco opened his eyes and stared into deep, brown soulful ones. Loving and warm that can make him forget all of his worries just by looking at them.

"Hermione." he said, reaching out. His mind was still in a daze, having just been woken from a dream.

She was leaning over his head, smiling. Her hair, which was strangely black, hung over her head making a curtain.

He reached out caressing her face. His heart thumping against his rib cage, he couldn't believe it himself. But there - she was smiling down at him.

"'mione." He said once again, before she could move away he kissed her.
