"You!"
Hermione and Draco stared at Harry "You! It's all you fault! It's all your bloody fault!"
"What the…"
Harry took out his wand faster than Hermione or Draco could react, pointed it to them and slowly, step by step, walked down the staircase.
"You know what? I got no parents, no godfather anymore, my two best friends betrayed me…. I got nothing left to keep me anywhere. I got nothing to lose. And I'll make you pay"
Hermione took a few steps backwards, Draco half blocking her view to Harry.
"Go out of the way, Malfoy, I'll deal with her first"
Draco stared at Harry. What was up with that goody-goody Gryffindor….? And why did no one come out of the hall? Why did no one cross their ways? Where was Dumbledore if you needed him?
"Potter… You'll just get into trouble. This is no good. Just leave it be…"
"Out. Of. My. Way!"
"No!"
Harry narrowed his eyes "She deserves nothing better. She…"
"Expelliarmus!"
Harrys wand flew right out of his hand into Dumbledores
"I thought I heard people fighting… Mr Potter, be so kind and tell me what the matter is"
"She said I'd act like a prat, like I was proud to be the boy who lived. Like the world was just all about me. She has to pay for this"
Dumbledore lifted an eyebrow "Miss Granger?"
Hermione shot a glance at Harry, then stepped out of Dracos shadow "Well, he… Forced me to chose between him and Draco. You know, Draco Malfoy and me…"
"It seems I'm more up to date than you know, miss Granger. I know about you and mister Malfoy. Go on"
Hermione swallowed "Well… yes…" What did he know exactly? "Uhm… okay, well, he made me choose and I chose Draco over him, because I won't let anyone make me chose and get away without any harm. Well, then he freaked out and I said just what he told you. And then Ron said I was right. And then he tried to kill us"
Dumbledore loooked at the shaking girl. She must have been afraid… Something surely had, in fact, scared the hell out of her…
"Mr Weasley tried to kill you?"
"N..no… Harry… I'm sure he wanted to kill us…"
Dumbledore nodded "Mister Malfoy?"
"Yes, headmaster?"
"What's your side of the story?"
"Well, Hermione said everything"
Dumbledore nodded again "Well then, take Miss Granger to the hospital wing, please, Mister Malfoy, she looks as if rest was what she needed. Mister Potter, follow me to my office"
Harry and Dumbledore left, leaving a curious crowd behind.
They stared at Draco and Hermione, some couragous enough to ask questions, some shy and whispering to each other. Draco rolled his eyes and took Hermiones hand "Out of my way, you all! I got businesses!"
He pushed through the crowd and took a few corners before he got to a halt. He lay his hands on Hermiones shoulders "You okay?"
Hermione swallowed hard "Yes… I'm alright…"
"Okay… but still, I'll take you to the hospital wing"
Hermione shook her head "No… I don't wanna go there… I can't believe this! He was ready to kill! He reminded me so much of…"
Hermione blushed and looked down to the floor.
"Of whom?"
Hermione sighed, but lifted up her head bravely "He reminded me of you"
Draco took a step back, his eyes clouding and Hermiones eyes widened
"No… Draco… He reminded me of you in…. former times… You had this… mad sparkle in your eyes when you were furious… and you had it in your eyes when Pansy saw us… And I'm talking myself into trouble…"
Draco shook his head "Hermione, old habits die hard. I try and leave my past behind, but it's not easy for me. And if this still reminded you of me, maybe we were not meant to be together"
Hermione shook her head, tears in her eyes once again
"Oh no, Draco Malfoy. Not again! We don't break up again! I'm fed up with all this! Either you wanna be with me, or you don't. I din't need this. I can't handle this! And you won't break up with me right after my best friends did just because I once hated you, understand?"
Draco looked into Hermiones eyes and smiled, and then he looked at Hermiones mouth, as thin as McGonagalls sometimes was and he smiled even wider.
She had a strong will. A great heart. Clever brains. She was everything, the beauty of a goddess, the cleverness of… well, you get the point.
And she wanted to be Draco's. She wanted to be with him… God, she was great…
"I love you…."
He bend down and kissed the confused Hermione.
"With all I have I do love you, Hermione Granger. I love you…."
"I… " Hermione wanted to respond but Draco shut her up by kissing her again
"Sure you love me, too, everybody does"

Tadaaaaaa! This is the sudden, maybe confusing end. Just like all my ends are.
You wanna know what happens to the golden Trio? If they make up again? If the love of the snake and the lioness lasts?
Well, I COULD do a sequel, but it depends on the reviews I get… and if you even WANT a sequel….?
I love you all who read this story to the end and I love all of you who reviewed even more! You guys rock my socks and I'd like to kiss every single one of you, because you make my day!
Hugs and kisses,
Sydney
