Chapter 2: Take me home….
------------------
Harry looked at the figure that was before him. He was starting to sweat because of the thoughts and questions that filled his brain. He looked at Ron who was now hanging on his neck helplessly. Harry looked at the rope on Ron's neck. The rope was attached to one of the pipes on the ceiling. He saw the awful expression on his friend's face. Anger and sadness began to fill his heart.
Suddenly he heard the slam. Harry ran outside the cubicle hoping to get a glimpse of the possible killer, but alas, no hope. Harry turned to look at the cubicle again but then he heard the door slam again. Harry turned quickly to find Draco Malfoy entering the bathroom. Draco went to cubicle and went on with his business. As Draco zipped his pants up and turned to leave, he noticed Harry was now standing at the door of his cubicle.
"God! Potter, were you there all that time?!! You're just a sick little— " But before he could finish his sentence, Harry slammed him to the wall, just next to the mirror. Draco saw the fury in his eyes. "Potter, are you all right?!! What wrong with you?!! Why are you doing this?!!!"
Harry stopped and looked at him. He could see the confusion. He stood up and walked away. He went to the cubicle were Ron was once more. Draco, out of curiosity, followed him. There, he saw Ron. His jaw dropped as he looked at him. He suddenly turned his head sharply as he heard a loud thudding noise. When he did, he saw Harry on the floor with his hands covering his face.
If he were the old Draco he was before, he would have loved this moment. But he had changed for the better during seventh year. He felt pity and sadness as well for Harry. He sat down beside him. "Who did this to him…?"
Harry looked at him. "I don't know." He paused for a long time then looked back at Draco. "How am I gonna tell everybody about this….?" He looked away once more. "How am I supposed to tell Hermione…?"
--------------
Hermione grew impatient. All the seventh years decided to dance. She had been sitting there for the past half hour listening to the music. She had begun to worry in fact. She stood up and started to walk towards the men's room.
She knocked on the door and poked her head in. "Hello…?" Harry's and Draco's heads shot up as they heard Hermione's voice. Hermione noticed some sadness in the air. "Harry…. what's wrong….?" She entered into the room as Harry and Draco stood up. She began to run towards Harry and they engulfed each other in a huge tight hug.
Harry hugged her tightly as Hermione soothingly rubbed his back. "'Mione….."
Hermione went on with the rubbing his back. "Yes Harry……?" She bagan to feel that it was serious.
Harry froze. "Ron's dead."
Hermione stopped and pulled slowly away from him. She shook her head slowly. "No, no……you're kidding me…." She started to shake her head more wildly. "This isn't funny!" Harry held her hand and pulled her towards the cubicle where Ron was. Hermione's eyes enlarged as she saw him. She fell on her knees and began to sob. Harry knelt beside her and wrapped his arms around her. He tried the best he could to comfort her. Hermione then yelled in aguish and depression. "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Her scream could be heard in the whole bar. Even outside in fact. But one person grinned as he heard her painful cry. That person now began to walk away from the bar.
Harry looked at Draco and he came closer to them. "Draco may I ask you one favor….please take Hermione back to my apartment….? I don't think she's stable enough to stay." Hermione began to hesitate but Harry shushed her and soothed her then she began to agree. She stood up and Draco held her to support her for her knees were week and she couldn't walk properly. Harry glanced at Draco once more. "Please…..take care of her. I wouldn't want anything to happen to her. Please…..I trust you."
With that, Draco nodded his head and began to walk away with Hermione.
(At Harry and Hermione's apartment….)
Draco helped Hermione to the couch. She sat quietly as Draco began to make some tea. When Draco got back, he put the tea on the coffee table in front of the couch Hermione sat on. "Take this," Hermione started to pick up a cup. ",It will make you feel better."
Hermione sipped her tea as Draco lit the fireplace. "So Draco, why did you help us?"
Draco had finished lighting the fire and went back to sit on the couch with Hermione. He looked her. "I've decided to change for the better." He gave her a soft smile and she returned his with one of hers.
For the rest of the night, they chatted like friends. They had completely forgotten about their past. Hermione began to grow tired. Draco couldn't blame her. She had such a rough night. It wasn't long before she fell asleep.
Draco carefully carried her, trying not to wake her up. He took her to what seemed like her bedroom. He softly placed her on her bed. As Hermione slumbered, Draco watched her. He looked at every detail on her face. She seemed so fragile right now, like at any moment, she would break. She looked so beautiful to him.
He inched his face closer to hers. He wanted to kiss her. His lips are about an inch apart from hers now. His heart thumped faster…
