Closing the Gap.
After a few months of badgering, Lucius finally had Draco where he wanted him. In the grips of the Dark Lord, and despising all half blood or Mudbloods alive. But deep down, Draco still loved one. One person he thought was a Muggle.
Hermione and Draco walked around the halls of the empty school, hand in hand. Draco turned to Hermione suddenly, and looked into her Chocolate brown eyes. He had dreamt of those eyes for many years, and now, here he was looking deep into them, touching the face of their owner, and facing something he had longed to behold all his life. "I thought we'd be friends forever? What happened?" he said to her sadly. He turned his face downward, and she put her hand on his cool cheek, bringing his eyes back to hers.
"Well, we moved, and you hated me all of a sudden when we saw each other again. I don't know what really happened, but I'm sorry." she said, kissing him softly. He took her hand and walked to their dormitory. "Tout Amour." he said to the portrait of the rose bud. Before their eyes, the flower bloomed, and the door opened. "I want to show you something." He said, running to his room. Ten minutes later, he returned. In his hands he carried a tiny sandy coloured bear. Still patched and frayed, but not aged. "Aphrodite." Hermione whispered. Draco smiled down at her. I kept her safe. Just for you. I knew someday we would meet again. I just hoped it would have been on more friendly bases. When I saw you again, I fell..." he started, but his voice broke, and he fell to the ground. His face was pure white and his hands were cold. Hermione instantly froze, not knowing what to do. She took out her wand, and conjured a stretcher and a broom. She flew them out to the border of the forbidden forest, and apperated them both to St. Mungo's. Two hours later she sat in a rickety old chair, holding the cold, clammy hand of the tall blonde. His face was lifeless, and his hand was so cold. The MediWitch assured her he was not dead, but couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Suddenly his hand grasped hers with such force, and his eyes snapped open. He broke out in a cold sweat, and his face was tear streaked. Pain was evident on his face, but Hermione bared with the pain in her hand, till, as suddenly as it had came, it left. The mediwitch came back in, and looked very shocked. Draco sat bolt upright and gasped for air. "Draco, what's wrong?" Hermione said, voice full of increasing fear. He looked around and saw her, and he held her for a moment.
"Lies. All of them. Lies. He wants me Hermione. He wants me there. I cant go." He said. Hermione was even more baffled at his mumbling and babbling. He suddenly became warm again. "My dad, he's not my real dad. Lucius Malfoy is my stepfather. My mom, she visited me, just now. It was like I was in a dream. She told me that my father... that my father is a God. But because he was a God, that she couldn't be with him. His name... his name was Mercurian." he said, breaking down into shattered tears. Hermione gaped at him. Mercurian was the name of his bear. A gift from his father. His best friend. Now everything was coming together. "Hermione, this means... this means I'm part God. I don't want to be." he sobbed, grabbing hold of her and holding her to him.
"Don't worry sweetheart. Please don't worry." she cooed in his ear.
