Don't Let Them.
The song started out slow, and grew louder. Hermione mouthed the words. He had found the CD in her case on the table, and decided to use it.
'Say that you want me, yeah
Say that you'll never leave me, yeah
You gotta tell me you need me, yeah
Don't let them take your love away
Some say that I am a fool to love you (to love you)
And some say that I'm too dumb to know what's right for me
(to know what's right for me)
But only I can live my life, and only I can feel my heartache
I never plan to know everything but I know when your love's away
I can't sleep and I can't eat and I can't live and I can't breathe (can't breathe)
So don't make a fool of me, just love me
chorus
Now they say that me loving you will hurt me (will hurt me)
And they say it's a matter of time before you break my heart
(before you break my heart)
But even when we're far apart I always feel that you are with me
I hope and pray almost everyday that our love never goes away
Cause I can't see where I would be without your love all over me (Over Me)
So, don't make a fool of me, just love me and say
chorus
Baby, you're all, (Baby youre all) all that I need(all that I Need)
Need in my life (Need in my life), right here with me (right here with me ya)2x
chorus'
Draco whispered in Hermione's ear huskily, "Can I keep you?" she nodded lightly.
"I'll always be yours." she said, kissing his cheek. He scooped her up in his arms, and carried her to his room.
The next morning, Hermione and Draco (Ebony and Darigan) were summoned to Olympus again. They sat in the throne room, hand in hand, and lip to lip.
"Huhum." Adonis said, clearing his throat loudly. The two parted slightly, and blushed a furious red. "Welcome back Poena, Diosa." He said, chuckling softly at the couple.
"Actually father, I've decided to use a different name, if that is alright with you. Instead of Poena, im using an English version. Darigan. And Diosa is using Ebony, English translation also." His fathers face contorted to one of understanding, and said, "with me, its fine, it will be your mother that will object." he said.
"Object to what?" Eos said, suspiciously. She eyed the couple happily, joy flowing from her sapphire eyes. She was a very beautiful woman, and looked much like Darigan. She had ice blonde hair, and crystalline blue eyes. She had milky white skin, and her hair flowed half way down her back, in tiny, shimmering locks.
"I'm not using my birth name mother. Im using the meaning, but in the English translation. Darigan. And Diosa is using Ebony instead, incase you wanted to know." He said, sounding more confident then he felt. Hermione could feel his anxiety building. Hermione gripped his hand tighter. Eos' face softened.
"Oh Darigan, my son. What ever you wish. I am your mother, I am to understand you. What ever you want, I will grant you. And Ebony, that is such a beautiful name. So elegant and simplistic. But dripping with beauty and sophistication." She said happily to the pair. "Darigan, I see you took my advice. Good choice, I say, I could not have hand picked a better half myself." she said, eyeing Hermione happily. Draco hugged his mother softly, and asked, "so, why were we summoned here?" Adonis' happy smile faded instantly, he answered the question with small bunch of words.
"You must rule. Both of you." he said. Hermione's heart sank. She had to finish school, she wasn't ready for this.
"Why? Why now? Why not after school ends? Why now?" Draco spluttered. Hermione's words came out of his mouth. Adonis answered this, with a name.
"Gypsum Symphus." Hermione's eyes widened. She had heard that name before. But she could not remember where.
"I know that name. I've heard it. But where?" Hermione stuttered. Eos gripped Hermione's hand, and smiled sadly.
"She was the woman who killed your parents." she said, holding her breath. Hermione's eyes widened, and heat pricked the corners of them. With a flash of black, she was gone. Draco and Hermione had been taught to 'Nimbus Morpheus' from anywhere, even Hogwarts, to Olympus or Estrella Negra. She, chose the darker side of Olympus, to find serenity. She sat in a large cavernous room, watching out the black window. Estrella Negra sat on the outskirts of Olympus, and all of space could bee seen from the Western and Northern rooms of the house. She watched stars falling, clouds forming, lightning from the coming storm cracking in the starry mass, wondering if this was her destiny. To rule here, or live on earth. Ron had been put in St. Mungo's for going insane, Harry and Ginny were both dead, and nothing there was worth keeping. Nothing except the person she could feel going frantic with out her. She spoke to him softly. 'Im ok. Im here. Estrella, west tower, northern room. Darigan, we need to speak.' his body calmed, and his heart beat regulated. 'I'm coming love, I'm coming.' he said, frantically leaving the room, where his parents stood.
"Adonis, Gypsum can not find them. We know what she did to them. Darigan and Ebony must not go through that. But they must take the throne. Gypsum must not reach the throne. And they have it, Adonis, Ebony and Darigan have the telepathic powers of Zeus and Alvinea. Heavens help us if they are caught. God help us if they are killed. They must be bound." Eos' eyes weld with tears.
Draco and Hermione sat together in the window seat, watching the stars fall like rain. A small knock came at the large oak door, and Hermione waved her hand, and it opened. She could get used to this type of power. Eos walked in, and stood there for a moment.
"You have it. How long have you had it?" she said, her voice full of concern. Draco's eyes widened at her sudden appearance, and filled with confusion. Hermione, however, knew what she was talking about.
"About two days. Why is it important? What do you know that we don't?" Eos sighed.
"Ebony, darling, Gypsum is after you. She is after your throne. She did not know that you were the spawn of the Dark God, or of The Fallen Angel. See, your mother was chosen by Lucifer himself to be his bride. She did not accept, and he took her away with him, forcing her to live with his 'right hand man' Hades. But when Hades and Persephone wed, Persephone released her to Zeus. She met your Father, and the married, and well, had you. Gypsum, daughter of Lucifer, is about 718 years old. But, she, being the child of the most powerful evil being in the world, looks about 18. She is after you, and now Draco, because if you and he, marry, you seal the throne to our side of the family, which traces back to Zeus, making the throne, impossible for her to reach. She has been trying for the past 700 years. Many families have been destroyed because of her desire to rule the heavens and hell. You and Darigan are bound by the link of Zeus and Alvinea. He and his wife were not soul mates, but he and Alvinea have it, and only blood of the two families, can have this link. Darigan, you and Ebony, you are bound soul mates. It would be weak and foolish of you both to not bound your love by marriage. You would save all of this," she waved her hand out the window, past the clouds of Olympus, to the Heavens that opened up before them, "and all of Olympus. But be careful, unless you make this choice, she will hunt for you. She was breed by the best hunter. She will chase and find you, and she will not rest until she does. I will need your answer as soon as possible. Please, the state of our world and yours rests in your decision. So please, Please make the right one." she said, and with one last back glance, she left. Hermione looked at Draco with passion in her eyes. He looked back, fury and romance flooding out. He hated that devilan for making this as unromantic as possible. He got down on one knee, and pulled out a tiny silver grey box. He looked at Hermione, and took her hand. He had prepped a speech and was planning on it tonight, but since they were here, "Ebony, Diosa, I have loved you since the day we met. I never knew it, but I felt it. I never admitted it, but I acknowledged it, and now I'm acting on it. I promised myself, that I would always love and cherish you. Comfort and worship you. Will you do me the incredible honor of being my wife?" Hermione's mouth dropped as he opened the box. A tiny little heart shaped aquamarine diamond sat in a 10k gold band. She felt heat burning her eyes. Draco watched her eyes turn from a brown blue mix, to bright crystalline blue. She was going to cry. Draco cupped her face with his right hand, and slipped the ring on her hand with his left. She was speechless. The ring looked great on her hand, and she had slept with him, they were soul mates, bonded my the same as Zeus and Alvinea. How could she say no? "Yes. Yes I'll marry you." She said kissing his lips softly. His brain processed the words, he kissed her deeply and hugged her tight. He lifted her into the air and swung her around. They morphed into the throne room where Eos and Adonis sat pensive. They snapped to when they heard the foot steps. Eos could see the happy glow on her sons face and knew instantly. "Thank Gods you made the decision." she instantly congratulated them both, and the party went on well into the morning.
