Hermionie stood outside a quaint muggle house somewhere in the country side. It was a reddish brown and had a picket fence and stone steps leading to the front door. Draco held her hand and looked at her with a genuine smile.
"C'mon lets go inside." Hermionie smiled briefly back and walked quickly up the steps to the house. If not under the circumstances this house would be the exact specimen of the house she could someday live in with her own family. Some how in these past days every dream of hers was crushed. Draco led her inside and shut the door. She gave a beautiful smile, that made him melt within.
"It's wonderful." she said looking at the medium sized furnished living room.
"I'm glad you like it. This is the living room through that door is the kitchen, and there is a bathroom next to the stairs. Follow me and we'll get you settled." He walked up the stairs levitating the trunks and bags with Hermionie giddy at his heels. "This is your room." he said opening the door.
She looked inside and adored the room she saw. It was not small certainly not large, but cozy. Their was a queen size bed in the middle with a vanity to the side and finally a closet close to an open window. The room was dark with its red walls and wooden floors. It made Hermionie wistful.
"I'll be down the hall if you need me." He said putting the bags down neatly in the corner.
"Wait," she mumbled before he left hoping on some level he didn't hear her but he did and turned around looking expectant. "I...please don't leave, just for tonight stay with me, I don't think I can be alone."
She never in her life thought she would say those words but they came out like she waited her whole life for them. She had no doubt now that she loved him with every fiber of her being and wanted to tell him but that wasn't possible, at least not yet. She prayed that he wouldn't reject her hurtfully.
"Do you really wish me to Hermionie?" he asked hoping the world he hadn't heard wrong or anything.
"Please," she said seeing in his face respect not cruelty or sarcasm.
"Yes," he smiled and stepped toward her.
She looked up into his eyes and saw the misty silver beam. She stepped closer too praying he wouldn't jolt back. He didn't he wrapped his arms around her and stared intensely.
"Draco?" she whispered.
"Yes Hermionie?"
"Is it possible to love another person without actually meeting them, You can always know they are there you just don't notice."
"I think it is entirely possible Hermionie." He bent down closer and closer to her face finally reaching the point where they could feel each others breaths.
"Trust me there's no need to fear every ones here, waiting for you to finally be one of us," Hermionie was startled when he started singing even more so when she recognized the song. "Come down you may be full of fear but you'll be safe here, when you finally trust me finally believe in me." She started to feel herself being pulled into the words and singing to. "I will let you down, when you finally trust me finally believe in me. Trust me I'll be there when you need me. Never want to come down, Never want to come down..."
