The prophesy fulfilled

Why did Andre have a knife that belonged to Draco? Hermione thought. She felt Andre shiver against her and realised that he was nervous about this. He dug the dagger into her neck slightly so blood was drawn. She whimpered.

"Just to add a little drama to the situation. Oh and the reason why it says Draco Malfoy on the knife is that it was his and just to make him hurt a little more that he knows it was something that belonged to him that killed you" Andre explained.

Hermione realised he really was crazy with hatred of Draco and revenge. He had spent months stalking them both, finding out everything to try and hurt Draco as much as possible.

Hermione's thoughts were cut short as the door in the corner creaked slowly open allowing some light in the outside world in, but it was cut short as a figure appeared in the doorway. No features were distinguishable but as the figure stepped into the room the door swung shut with bang. Everything was thrown into darkness. It was then that Hermione heard her name being called out.

"Hermione!"

Draco was right outside the door. He would do exactly the same thing as he did when he found Hermione in the room of requirement for the first time. I need to find Hermione, I need to find Hermione, I need to find Hermione . . . A door appeared in front of him. He couldn't believe how easy it was. Surely Andre had something else up his sleeve.

He took a deep breath and touched the handle of the door, it swung open at his touch showing nothing but a dark void in front of him. He had to do this for Hermione. He stepped into the door way blocking off the light, still not able to see anything in front of him only the wall to his left which only showed some old fashioned sconces. He stepped into the room as the door shut with a bang behind him. He could see some shapes by the wall opposite him.

"Hermione!"

"Draco!" Came the reply.

"Where are you Andre? Let her go!" Draco yelled.

"No need to shout! I'm right here!" Andre said calmly as he waved his wand and the room was suddenly illuminated. Andre quickly put his hand over Hermione's arms pinning them to her waist. She was completely at his mercy.

"Hermione!" Draco said. He looked at her with pain in his eyes, they travelled to Andre's hand on her and the knife at her throat. Particularly to the blood slowly dripping down her neck. "Are you alright?" He asked.

Andre's hand forced the blade closer to her throat. If she spoke she could risk the blade cutting her neck. So she just nodded slightly.

"Sorry she can't talk" Andre said sweetly "Its just she has a blade against her throat and if she speaks she'll be responsible for her own death"

"Get away from her now" Draco commanded each word spoken with hatred.

"Erm . . . no! I'm glad you're here for the end of it all. Its such a shame that there's no other way that this could end! She will die by the end of this night! Look there's the full moon!" Andre pointed to a window by the ceiling as white moonlight bathed the room.

"It can end differently" Draco replied. "Let her go and kill me, take me in her place!" He was slowly edging towards them and he was directly in front of them. Hermione was looking at him with wide frightened eyes, unable to move, but when he spoke love filled her eyes, he could tell that she had forgiven him.

"Take me in her place!" He said again.

Andre threw back his head and laughed. "That isn't the point. How are you supposed to suffer if you're the one dead! Nope this is ending one way. With her death" He spat. He pushed the blade at Hermione's throat making her whimper in pain.

Draco was barley listening. He was watching Hermione. She seemed to be trying to tell him something, but he didn't understand. Her eyes were looking deep into his they were full of love, he looked at her the same way and all of a sudden he knew what to do. That's why Andre tried to split up the dream. In case he told her those three vital words that would end the prophesy. It made sense. Why didn't he see it before?

"I knew it wouldn't work anyway" Draco said to Andre. Andre was given Draco a suspicious look. "But it will finish differently." Draco looked at Hermione. "I should have said it before I-"

"Silencio!" Andre screamed. Draco was stopped in mid sentence. "How did you figure it out?" Andre had thrown Hermione aside where she screamed as she landed painfully on the floor. He was advancing on Draco who was stunned at the sudden silence. He hoped Hermione would get what he was trying to do if he threw his wand towards her. Andre was right in front of him. Hatred and anger in his eyes. "How did you figure it out?" Andre then regained his cool. "No matter, I'll kill you then but remember as you lie dying, she will join you!" Draco threw his wand.

Hermione caught it and yelled the counter curse. Draco heard pain in her voice just as he got his voice back. Just as Hermione threw the wand Andre pointed his wand at her and screamed the cruciatus curse. Hermione screamed in pain as Draco's wand went flying trough the air. He jumped and caught it but Andre was already on his guard facing Draco. Hermione still lay on the floor screaming in agony.

"Ready for a fight to the death Draco?" Andre asked as they circled each other ready for combat.

"Yeah, your death not mine" Draco replied, trying to get to Hermione. Andre knew what Draco was up to though and kept himself by Hermione's pain ridden form. Draco wondered how he knew then he remembered that Andre could read minds.

At that moment Draco lunged. Andre was ready. They were both sending curses at each other, sometimes the spell hit sometimes it didn't. All the curses sent were designed to inflict pain, just like a real fight without wands. In no time at all both guys were bleeding. Draco had a huge gash down one arm, his lip was bleeding and his eye was starting to swell. Andre however was better the Draco at duels so he only had minor cuts and bruises. Draco knew in that moment that he was going to lose. But not before he took Andre with him. With a frightful calm Draco let go of his wand. In the moment it took Andre to get over the surprise Draco had dived for him.

The action caught Andre off guard and he toppled with Draco on top. Both wands were lying on the floor. Draco quickly punched every bit of Andre he could find. But he had forgotten about Andre's power, and as Draco started to become weak from keeping the punching up Andre took his chance.

He snarled. Draco looked at Andre surprised at the sound. He looked into Andre's eyes and with horror saw what Andre was doing. He was changing. He was becoming a white tiger, the type with ice cold blue eyes. Draco jumped off him and grabbed his wand again and leapt for Hermione, who had finally stopped screaming.

Draco looked at her and saw she was weak, during the curse she had started bleeding from somewhere on her body. She was lying in a pool of her own blood, her eyes half closed, her breathing faint. With a stab of fear Draco knew she wasn't going to make it. Then he saw where the blood was coming from, it wasn't to do with the curse. Draco's silver dragon knife was sticking out of her side, just below her ribs.

"No!" Draco said. He knew he had a little bit of time before Andre to changed completely. "Hermione" He whispered. He gently picked up her head cradling it. He smoothed her hair away from her pale face. She stirred slightly as her breath hitched.

"Draco." She murmured "Draco I forgive you for hurting me. I know you were trying to save me . . . I thank you . . . and I forgive you" She whispered.

"Hermione don't speak like that you can tell me once we get out of here!" Draco whispered anxiously. Before Hermione could reply Draco was thrown backwards.

He hit the wall with a sickening crunch and knew that he had broken something. A dark shape sprang at him but Draco dodged quickly. The white tiger hit the wall with a thud and Draco knew that Andre's anger was so great that he couldn't think straight. He was letting animal instincts take control.

Draco knew how he could beat him. He had seen it quickly when he was walking into the room. It was on the wall. Now where was the door. Draco thought. There it was. Now it was on the left hand side quite high. There! Draco had seen it. Now to get Andre over there before he noticed anything.

"Bet you're angry now aren't you?" Draco said to Andre. "things haven't gone your way, this isn't the revenge you've planned. I bet you really want to hurt me because I spoilt it for you" Draco was edging closer to the wall. He was in front of it. "Well here's your chance." Draco hoped he had enough energy to dodge the pounce.

Sure enough Andre was mad. He was hissing and spitting with rage, and he did exactly what Draco thought he would. He jumped. High. Aiming for Draco's head. Aiming for the move that would kill Draco. It was a good jump and Draco only just got away but he felt claws tear at his shoulder at the last second, and then a thud. Silence. Then a high pitched yowl turning into human screaming. Draco's plan had worked. Andre had landed on one of the sharp sconces that lined the walls. Draco turned around and saw that Andre was back in his human form. He was lying on the floor where he had fallen. A big bloody hole in his stomach. He was laughing manically and looking at Draco with hatred in his gaze.

Draco knelt by him, knowing he was dying. "How did you get like this Andre?" Draco asked "How did you come to hate me so much that you let it take control of you?" Even though Andre had made Draco's life hell he still felt sorry for him.

"You should have stuck by me. You shouldn't have left. You were supposed look out for me" Andre looked like he was losing consciousness, then a sudden gleam lit his eye and he looked at Draco. "At least I got my revenge even if I'm not able to enjoy it!" He laughed manically again and the laugh turned into a gurgle as blood trickled out of Andre's mouth. He stopped moving. He lay there with an insane smile lighting his face and his open eyes staring into the distance. It took a while for Draco to register what Andre had said.

"Hermione!" Draco ran towards her. She hadn't moved. There was so much blood. She didn't look alive. He looked at her blood soaked figure and thought: What have I done?

He bent over her feeling for a pulse. He found it but it was very weak. It was then that he realised she was looking straight at him with sad, tear drenched eyes.
