Chapter 1: I promise Love
Draco is cradling himself in an Azkaban cell. He is muttering to himself.
"I love you, I love you…I promise love."
FLASHBACKHermione Granger:
"Draco, baby I just can't do this anymore!"
Draco Malfoy:
"What are you talking about? We have been together for two years, and all the bloody sudden you feel you can't do this anymore? Do what? Is it me…is it us? Tell me Hermione because I'm just not getting it." Draco shouted across the Slytherin dorm.
Hermione Granger:
"Today was graduation. So far I've spent it just the way I've planned for two years. But Draco, do you know what this means? It means it's over, school, classes…us."
Draco Malfoy: "Wait? Are you leaving me?"
Hermione Granger: "I don't have a choice. Now that schools over I am going to start training to be an Auror, and I've been accepted to the best one there is. You, your taking over your fathers place at the ministry and, and your getting your Dark Mark!"
Draco Malfoy: "Come on, say it louder! Merlin, I'll be surprised if you didn't wake the bloody baron!"
Hermione Granger: "Draco the point is, you will now be one of the Lord's closest ally's like your father, and your mother. You will probably want a family like the one you have, become one the greatest crime families of all time. I don't want that-"
Draco Malfoy: "I don't want to be like my father. Hermione please…don't leave me. I can't leave the Dark Lord's side, he'll kill me."
Hermione Granger: "Look your already living in fear and you're not even officially a death eater. You can still leave him. I am, Voldemort is-"
Draco Malfoy: "Don't say his name!"
Hermione Granger: "This is what I mean!"
Draco Malfoy: "What?"
Hermione: "You and the dark lord. Draco you are my love, do you get that I love you? But I am a member of DA, and we both know that our lord is planning on having the war soon."
Draco: "So we have been making this work haven't we?"
Hermione: "Well yes. But look at this; we are loving each other through lies. I hate pretending to be apart of VA and I know you hate pretending to be apart of DA. Don't tell me different, the war is coming really soon. And we both know you will be with V-Voldemort, and I with Dumbledore."
Draco: "Hermione…you don't understand…"
Draco's head lowered and his voice cracked. Hermione stuck her head underneath him and laid it on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her.
Draco: "you can't leave me. It will hurt because I love you too much."
Hermione: "This can be so easy Draco. It's either me or Voldemort."
Draco: "You are my love, but the Lord is my career."
He pulled Hermione away then, he looked hard into her eyes.
Draco: "I love you and I promise you, love, that the way I feel about you will never change. I love you! Why can't you just leave it at that!"
He shouted and was holding her hard by her arms.
Hermione: "Oh Draco."
Hermione released from his grip and wrapped her arms around him burying her head into his chest. He was too tall for her even to reach his neck. She sobbed horribly into his white tee shirt. He wrapped his arms around her as well and his eyes watered. This was as close as he had ever come to crying.
Hermione: "Draco, I love you too. I wish to Merlin that this didn't have to happen-no shhh- but I must. Just make sure you keep this. Keep this and remember the love we had, the love I will never forget. Keep this, to remember that I love you."
She grabbed his hand and opened it slowly. Then she reached into her robes and in the palm of her hand was to small golden frogs. One had ice grey eyes, and the other chocolate amber eyes. She placed the one with amber eyes into his hand and she opened the mouth of the frog. Suddenly a life size photo of Draco and Hermione stood in front of him. They were on their first anniversary of one year; she was dressed in a beautiful silk dress and he in a tux. They were laughing and then the picture changed. It went from anniversary's to quidditch games to nights out on the town. And then the last one flashed, it was Hermione mouthing the words I love you and blowing a kiss. Hermione turned to his hand and closed her hand on top of the frog; she pulled his hand up to her face and gave it a long kiss. Then she looked up and her eyes were glistening from crying and she gave Draco a kiss on his lips. When she pulled away she took one last look at him and rushed out the door.
Back to the PresentGuard #1: "Ger' Up yeh durty warlock."
Draco: "Where are we going?"
Guard #1: "Its time fer lunch. If it were up ter me yeh would starve. But Dumbledore has always had pity on yer sort. Ever since those dementers perished this prisen is jest like a muggles. But I guess Albus was right, he always wer."
A/N: Well, there it is the first chapter. You may be a little confused, but in time you'll get it. VA is Voldemort's army and DA is Dumbledor's army. This is a real good story and I'll update pretty fast for now. So keep on reading and I love getting reviews!
