Hermione felt so tired. She had her eyes closed and could feel something hot on her stomach. She closed her hand weakly to a fist and felt another hand in hers. She opened her eyes. Everything seemed blurry at first, but then almost instantly everything cleared up. She sat up and saw, not Draco, but Ron's head lying on her stomach.
"WHERE'S DRACO!" tears began to fill her eyes. Ron jumped up and looked horrified at Hermione. She put her face in her hands sobbing hysterically.
"Draco my love, my love," she sobbed. She pushed Ron out of her way and started toward the door at a run, but was stopped by Madame Pomfrey.
"Oh my dear, you have got to lie down"
"No I want to see Draco. Where is he?"she fell to the floor with an aching heart. At that moment the door burst open.
"HERMIONE!" Malfoy came in and hugged her. He instantly carried her and put her on the nearest bed. "I'm here, I'm sorry I had to see Professor Dumbledore. Which reminds me, Weasley, he wants you in his office right away." Ron looked at how Hermione was holding on to Draco. He looked sad and his eyes began to look watery and left through the door silently.
That night when she was back in her dormitory bed she felt a chill in the air. She was lying in bed and felt a hand slide her inner thigh. She felt it going higher and higher and suddenly she woke up with a jerk. She began to cry softly in her pillow as she hugged it tighter. It was only one in the morning. All this crying isn't doing any good, she thought, perhaps I should take a small walk. She got out of bed and headed toward the door. When she reached to open it she almost fell. Everything had gone so dizzy. She got up holding on tightly to the wall as if to make it stop moving. Fresh air, she thought, that's all I need, fresh air. She somehow managed to get out of the portrait hole of the fat lady. She staggered along the wall, occasionally hitting a portrait. She headed down toward the main entrance. She had fallen on the stairs several times. What's wrong with me, she cried in her head. She was almost at the main doors when she heard footsteps. She was afraid it was a teacher so she tried to run to the doors, but halfway there she lost most of her strength and fell to the ground. She sobbed on the floor.
"What the-" she heard. "Hermione what are you doing here?" The voice whispered. She looked up and saw Draco looking at her with worried eyes. Hermione got mad at herself for making him worry.
"I'm fine. I can get up by myself. I don't need your help." she told him. He looked at her fall again as soon as she was on her knees. He held her and cradled her back and forth, caressing her hair. "What's wrong with me. Draco I'm so stupid I only cause other people pain. Please Draco don't look at me anymore. You don't deserve the pain I bring you." Draco grabbed her face hard but gently toward his. His eyes were piercing hers.
"Don't you ever tell me that again. You bring me so much happiness. I will never lose you. Never. Without you I don't think I would be able to live." He told her. He grabbed hold of her legs and her neck and carried her. She held his neck tight crying into his chest. He took her into his Dormitory bed. Since it was close to Christmas there was hardly anybody in the slitherin dorms. His room was completely alone. He laid Hermione on his bed. He laid down next to her. His arms around her made her feel safe and warm.
I've caused so much pain toward people I love. She thought. I've been hateful to Draco, and now that I have his love I feel awful. Ron, I use to love Ron. I thought we were the ones to end up together. I've left him for Draco. I've caused Ron so much pain by being with Draco that it has made him mad. It's all my fault. I made him like that. She lifted her head up to look at Draco. My love, oh my love and now I am causing you pain as well. Here you are having had to carry me and worry about me. I'm sorry. I don't want you to worry about me. I don't want you to feel that you need to take care of me. I want you to be free and be happy. Oh but I don't want to lose your touch. Maybe for one last time. I want to feel your skin touch mine one last time. I want to taste your lips on mine. My love...
"..please, one last time." she whispered. Draco looked at her a little confused. Hermione kissed him gently. Hermione's hair fell in front of her face as she turned around to face him easier. Draco caressed her hair back and kissed her cheek.
I know I shouldn't, but she looks so beautiful lying here. Draco thought. I want her to see that it's all right. That everything will be okay. I want to show her that she's safe with me. He grabbed her by the waist and moved her easily under him. She's so light. How can I have let her body get so weak. She seems willing though. Draco slid his hand under Hermione's nightgown and cupped her breast. He could feel her soft skin. He caressed his middle finger from her breast to her bellybutton. She let out a moan. I want to show you all my love.
Draco slid one of Hermione's silk nightgown straps from her shoulder. He kissed her neck and made a trail of loving kissed toward her chest. He slid his fingers to her thigh and lifted her nightgown. He lifted her up and she let him slip her gown off. He held her carefully and placed her on the bed. Hermione took off Draco's shirt and slid her hand on his abs. She kissed his abs and had somehow managed to switch places with Draco. She was now on top of him. Draco was surprised and even Hermione was surprised. She didn't even feel when they switched. Hermione kissed Draco's lips and began to bring his pajama pants down. He wasn't wearing any underwear. She looked at his handsomely shaped body. He put his hands on her panties ready to slide them off. He looked at Hermione.
"Are you sure you want to?" He asked. Hermione answered by lifting her hips up making it easier for him to take off her panties. Draco slid them off and sat up to kiss her. Hermione placed herself on top of him. She began to move back and forth. Draco placed both of his hands on her hips feeling the rhythm she was going to.
I want you to be in me forever. She thought.
I don't want to ever let go of you. He thought. Hermione moaned and began to move a little faster.
For one last time...
Hermione moaned.
I don't want to...
Draco moaned.
I want to....
Hermione moaned.
Ever...
Draco moaned.
Be inside of...
Hermione moaned.
Lose grip of...
you!
you!
And they both moaned loudly. Hermione could feel Draco release in her. She let herself go and rested on Draco's chest. He held her close and began to caress her hair. They both fell asleep naked on top of each other.
Hermione awoke next to Draco inside the covers. It was still dark outside. They were still naked. She got out and put on her nightgown and underwear. She kissed Draco on his forehead and left.
She was walking along the dungeon and started to cry. My love I'll hold you inside me forever.
She made her way back to the Griffendor tower and sat on her bed. Like the Slitherin Dorms, the Griffendor tower was almost empty as well. She was looking at herself in the mirror and thought of all the pain she was causing she wanted Draco to be free of her. She got so upset that she slammed her hand to the mirror and it broke into many little pieces. She picked up a piece and cried. She held a broken piece in one hand and stared at her wrist at the other. Tears were staining the broken mirror. The next thing she saw was a red drops fall to the floor.
