Invisible Hero: Chapter 20

By: Teenlaunch

invisible2u- Thanks for all the compliments. Unfortunately, this is the last installment. I guess I'll talk to you next time I put up a story.

flirtashuzsh0rty- Thank you. I do however have to tell everyone that this is the last chapter of this story. Just tune in next time for my next story.

fluffy's lil girl- I know he's out of character. I'm trying to fix that, but thanks.

Jaid Ziaen- I just couldn't help the cliff hanger. Sorry, but I had to.

BoogityWhup14- Thanks, I took your advice. I hope you had a good one.

Shen Le- I'm so sorry about that. I went back and fixed all of them, but it's too much time to repost them. About Draco's middle name, I couldn't think of anything else so that's what it is.

hwdhermione- Thanks for noticing. I don't know what happened to that one chapter but the Bible verse cut off or something.

MeLiO- How would now work out?

OceanGardian- I would have e-mailed it to you but I had a very limited time in typing this and posting it. I am glad you love it so much. All you need to know is that the ending is really bad.

Tamsididi- That's what I was aiming for, originality.

usagigreenleaf657- That's very…interesting. Thanks…

Slytherin ice princess- I didn't know if would be that sad. I am going to try uploading that chapter again. Please tell me if it is still missing a part.

gabbers- That's an odd image. I'm not even going to say anything.

NitenGale- I already covered that, didn't I?

purelyevilslytheringirl- I agree.

PinkTribeChick- I know. She's really dense.

wrc g-rp- Thank you. I don't really care if you're that demanding.

yampy the chosen one- Sounds like a movie review.

NeVeRmInD2- I totally agree. Happiness is the main concept.

padfoot-lover1- I thought so too. I just had a hard time writing it.

a/n: Sorry for the long wait guys. I didn't mean to! Anyway, my next story or stories may not come out for a little while, so, if any of you feel like badgering me to get a move on, just email me. I'll get tired of it sooner or later and put up a new story. Alright, twentieth installment!

Hermione sighed as she looked around the hospital wing. She came back to Draco, staring at him with a soft expression. He was sleeping peacefully. Madam Pomfrey had healed his many broken ribs and fractured shoulder in an instant. Hermione sighed again. Ron, who was sleeping in the chair beside her, gave a loud runt that made her jump. Ron jerked away.

"Hey, what happened?" Ron asked sleepily. He looked over at Draco. "Oh, yeah." Ron got up and yawned. "Well, I'm going to see if the house elves will send up some food for us. See ya." Ron left Hermione alone with the unconscious Draco. Hermione thought vaguely of going to the library. She decided it would help her pass time better until Draco woke. Hermione opened the drawer beside her to search for something to write on.

Instead of finding paper and a pencil, Hermione stumbled across a CD and a CD player. She picked up the CD and almost burst out laughing at the picture on the cover. Draco, Fred, and George looked up at her, unmoving. They were all dressed in leather. 'So that's what he meant,' Hermione thought. 'I wonder if he would mind me listening to it…No, he wouldn't.' Hermione put the CD into the player, placed the headphones on her ears, and listened carefully to the first song.

What 'cha doin' tonight

I wish I could be a fly on your wall

Are you really alone

Still in your dreams

Why can't I bring you into my life

(So tell me) What would it take to make you see that I'm alive

If I was invisible

Then I could just watch you in your room

If I was invincible

I'd make you mine tonight

If hearts were unbreakable

Then I could just tell you where I stand

I would be the smartest man

If I was invisible

(Wait…I already am)

I saw your face in the crowd

I call out your name

You don't hear a sound

I keep tracing your steps

Every move that you make

Wish I could be what goes through your mind

Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life

If I was invisible

Then I could just watch you in your room

If I was invincible

I'd make you mine tonight

If hearts were unbreakable

Then I could just tell you where I stand

I would be the smartest man

If I was invisible

(Wait…I already am)

Invisible

I reach out

But you don't even see me

Even when I scream out

Baby, you don't hear me

I am nothing without you

Just a shadow passing through…

Invisible

Invisible

Invisible

If I was invisible

Then I could just watch you in your room

If I was invincible

I'd make you mine tonight

If hearts were unbreakable

Then I could just tell you where I stand

I would be the smartest man

If I was invisible

(Wait…I already am)

If I was invisible

If I was invisible

If I was invisible

If I was invisible

If I was invisible

If I was invisible

Hermione's mouth fell open. She grabbed the CD case and turned it over, It read:

Invisible

Sugar

The Way

Fever

Take Me Back Home

My Life

The list went on, but those were the ones Hermione recognized. Hermione took off the headphones and looked back into the drawer, praying Draco wouldn't wake up. She drew out a sheet of paper and two photos. Hermione looked at the photos first. One was of her, Hermione. She was sitting at a table in the library. The other was of Draco. A black cloak was hanging from his shoulders. Hermione sat the pictures down and looked at the paper in her hands. It was from the Minister.

I, Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic, give Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore permission to transfer ownership of the house-elf Octavia to Draco James Malfoy. Ownership will transfer upon the end of the semester at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If an accident occurs between today and the ownership transfer, Octavia's ownership will hereby be given to the person or persons of Draco's choice.

Hermione's mouth was open again. Octavia had wanted to work for Ryu. There was only one explanation. She decided to keep rummaging in the drawer, although it was against her better judgment.

Hermione reached into the drawer again and drew out a crumpled sheet of paper. Hermione placed everything except that sheet back into the drawer. She smoothed it out and realized it was the missing page from Snape's book which she had never been given.

If you are reading this, that means you have a mismatched color in polyjuice potion making. As I explained before, there is a simple explanation.

When a person's potion color does not match their personality it means they have found their "soul mate". It is very uncommon for soul mates to find and care for each other. However, when this does occur, certain signs will show up until they both realize this. Some signs will stay.

When soul mates find each other the color of their potion will change. Usually certain colors will go together. On of the rarest combinations to find is Red and Green. People with such different personalities are usually never anywhere near each other. The last time this pair was seen was almost a century ago.

Hermione was flabbergasted. The last paragraph was highlighted. Something was written below it.

Hermione- red

Me- green

Switched!

Hermione gasped. She looked up at Draco and jumped. He was awake and staring at her. Hermione blushed; embarrassed she'd been caught red-handed. Draco smiled and chuckled softly. He started to cough and Hermione immediately forgot her embarrassment and poured him a cup of water. He drank it greedily. After he was done, Draco watched her carefully.

"What?" Hermione asked uncomfortably. Draco looked up at the ceiling.

"I didn't want you to find out that way. I guess it doesn't matter though."

"Why didn't you just tell me?" Hermione burst out. He looked at her.

"I thought that was obvious. It's just like Octavia said. I was scared. I thought that with all the mistakes I had made you already knew. I'm glad you didn't." They both sat silently for a minute. "Are you mad?" Draco asked quietly.

"Of course I'm mad! Not just with you either!" The door to the wing opened slowly.

"Uh, is this a bad time? I can come back later, if you want," Ron said quietly. Octavia and Shadow were with him. They both passed him and went to Draco's bedside.

"Oh, you has gotten yourself into trouble again!" Octavia scoffed.

"Oops?" Draco said. Shadow bounded up and started licking his face. Ron pulled Shadow back by his new collar to restrain him.

"Co you want us to leave? Cause we- " Ron began.

"No, it's fine." There was an odd silence between them.

"So, are you mad at me too?" Ron asked.

"A bit," Hermione said.

"You know those friendship necklaces I gave you and Harry?" Ron asked. Hermione nodded. "I got those particular ones for a reason. The shapes reminded me of us. My temper can flare at any time, so I have fire. Harry just has an electrifying personality and he has his scar, so he has a lightning bolt. Lightning goes along with fire sometimes. And you have water. It comes with lightning and quenches the fire. That's why I got them. Speaking of Harry, I guess I should go break the good - er, I mean, bad, wait- "

"Ron, just go!" Draco said. "Octavia, why don't you go with him and make sure Harry doesn't kill him please?"

"Yes, Draco." Octavia bowed and left. Draco and Hermione again fell into silence.

"Draco?" Hermione asked tentatively. He turned to look at her. "Ernie McMillan told me the Slytherins visited you the last time you were in here. He said you got really mad at Pansy. What about?"

Draco sighed. "Pansy told me off for putting my father in jail. I practically took her head off for that. Then she told me my father had told her to get rid of you. I guess she got the message. She hasn't talked to me since!"

A few days passed. Harry eventually accepted the fact that Draco and Ryu were the same person. Octavia made frequent visits to her master's bedside. Shadow would not allow Hermione to leave Draco's bedside. Draco recovered in a day but Madam Pomfrey fussed and made him stay.

Draco was released after three long days. Dumbledore even recognized him for his actions. Draco and Hermione were often found together. Draco was always looking at her guiltily. She would laugh and say he was forgiven. Eventually, Draco wrote a final letter asking Hermione to meet him in the Astronomy Tower. Hermione sneaked out late in the night and came to the tower. As always, his song was there to lead her.

If I was invisible

Then I could just watch you in your room

If I was invincible

I'd make you mine tonight

If hearts were unbreakable

I could just tell you where I stand

I would be the smartest man

If I was invisible

(Wait, I already am)

Hermione cracked the door open and walked in. Draco turned around as she came up to him. He held out a black rose. "I meant to give it to you earlier with all the answers. I'm sorry I didn't tell you who I was. Still, Ryu and Draco both mean the same thing."

"What's that?" Hermione asked.

"Dragon," Draco mumbled.

"That's all well and good, but…I'm still not sure who you are," Hermione said.

"What do you mean?" Draco asked quietly.

"Are you Dragon, Draco, Ryu, or someone I don't know at all? Tell me. Please…"

"I…I don't…know…"

"Figure it out and come tell me." Hermione turned around and headed toward the door, a small smirk on her face. Draco stood rooted to the spot for a minute or two.

"Wait, Hermione!" Hermione stopped.

"What?" She asked.

"If we both don't know who I am then how can I answer you?"

"Draco, I lied. I know who you are. I just want you to tell me who you are. If you can't, fine. I'll tell you."

"Yes, please," Draco whispered as he stepped closer. Hermione turned around.

"You are a man who shed his blood for me, who held me when I was sad, who knew exactly what to say and when to say it. You are a man who risked his life for me, who fulfilled every girl's dream, who stood up for what he believes in. You are a man who threw honor, dignity, and pride out the window…for me. What I want to know is why. Why did you do all that?"

"I think you know the answer to that question," Draco whispered as he took a step forward said came level with her.

"Do I?" Hermione asked quietly.

"Yes," Draco whispered.

"I think I've forgotten," Hermione whispered back.

"Let's see if I can jog your memory." Draco tilted her face towards his. He brushed his lips against hers just as he had Christmas night. He kissed her gently. Somewhere, a young house elf and a tall read head sighed in happiness.

The End

Oh, those words hurt so badly! I just hate to end a good story! Now, remember to bug me for the next story and I'll get it out. Here's the verse I know you all want. Until next time!

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 Peter 4:8
