Draco held Hermione in his arms for about ten minutes, and watched as the crowd subsided. The only people who remained at the scene were Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, and Hermione Granger. The teachers came by shortly after to find out what had happened and to take Moxley's body out of view from everyone.

"What happened here you three?" Professor Snape glared towards Hermione, Harry and Ron and smiled towards Draco with his evil wicked grin.

"Professor it was Moxley's fault," Draco nodded towards his house leader who was shocked to see him sticking up for the Gryffindor trio.

"I see Mr. Malfoy and what exactly happened?" Professor Snape glared towards Hermione Harry and Ron and then looked at Draco.

"Moxley tried to kill Hermione I pushed her out of the way, then the attack was coming at me and Potter here was clever enough to use a mirror to counter the attack against me towards Moxley," Draco nodded towards Snape and the looked at Moxley's body being carried away.

"He's not dead Malfoy," Snape saw Draco eyes drift to Moxley's body.

"What are you talking about Professor? Moxley is a strong wizard and used Avada Kedavra how can he not be dead?" Hermione butted in as she stood next to Draco and gripped hold on his hand as she saw him tremble a little bit.

"Granger Moxley is indeed powerful, more powerful than a young boy his age should be but if his attack was countered back at him through a mirror then not all the attack power could have bounced back. In the process some energy dissolved as the attack was shooting back at Mr. James therefor not killing him completely. He'll be well in a couple of weeks, and he'll be sent back home with his parents," Professor Snape said as he saw pure fear across all of their faces.

"But professor he tried to kill us why isn't he going to seek mental help?" Ron questioned with anger in his voice.

"His parents are very powerful people and wish to treat him at home."

"Well just as long as he's leaving I'm happy," Draco grinned and looked at Hermione who had a smile across her face. She was glad he wasn't dead she hated it when people died no matter how cruel they were, but she was even more ecstatic that he was leaving and she had nothing more to worry about. The only person she didn't have a problem with dying was Voldemort; he was all evil no good within him whatsoever.

"The headmaster still wants a word with you four but I believe you are off the hook," Snape glare between the trio and smirked at Draco as he walked away from them all.

"What do you think Dumble-quack wants with us?" Draco questioned with a glare in his eyes.

"Draco Dumbledore is not a quack!" Hermione snapped.

"Whatever," He grinned and wrapped his arm around her waist and started walking away with her. "Aren't you two coming, the headmaster does want to see us today," Draco smirked and continued walking.

Harry and Ron exchanged glances then ran after the two of them. They arrived in Dumbledores office to notice he indeed was not there.

Harry and Ron look around at some of the neat stuff the headmaster had in his office while Hermione looked at his books, She was about to pull one of the books out of the shelf when Draco turned her around and planted a nice passionate kiss on her lips.

"Draco someone will see," she blushed as she looked towards Harry and Ron.

"Let them it doesn't matter anymore, we've succeeded through so many obstacles Hermione, you even made me see that I really do love you," He smiled and was about to set another kiss against her lips when the headmaster walked into the room. Hermione quickly pulled away and walked over to Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore you wished to see us?" Hermione questioned.

"Yes Ms. Granger I would like to hear what you four have to say about the crime today," He looked above his glasses at all four of them just as Professor Mcgonagal does most of the time.

"Well professor Moxley and Draco got into a fight and Moxley launched an attack, the killing curse to be exact towards me and Draco saved me and Harry saved Draco," Hermione said in one breath.

"Ms. Granger I don't want an explanation of what happened I want you hear your views, how do you feel about it," Headmaster Dumbledore smiled at the four with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

"I'm glad that he's alright, and I'm also glad he is going back home to his parents, he really scares me," Hermione sighed as she shrugged her shoulders. Draco sensed her sudden fear in the subject and he wrapped his arms lightly around her causing Harry and Ron to roll their eyes.

"How do you feel about what has happen Mr. Malfoy?"

"Quite frankly professor I don't give a damn what happens to Moxley just as long as he stays out of my way and leaves me and my friends alone," Draco grinned and then looked at Hermione with a smile who returned his smile with one as well.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley?"

"Same thing Malfoy said," Harry nodded.

"Ditto," Ron shrugged as he looked at the two lovebirds, he felt that it was nauseating so he made a fake barfing noise.

"Mr. Weasley are you feeling okay? Do you need to go to the hospital wing?" Dumbledore asked as he gave Hermione and Draco a small grin with that usual twinkle in his eye.

"I'm fine professor, but is that all you want us for?"

"Indeed it was Mr. Weasley, you all are excused you may go back to your respective common rooms and have a good nights rest," He nodded as the four walked out of the office.

"Hermione can I talk to you?" Draco stopped and grabbed Hermione's arm causing the other two to stop also. "Alone?" Draco said with enthusiasm as I stared at the other two who got the hint and walked away.

"Okay what's up?" Hermione smiled slightly as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I know I saved you and all today but maybe, maybe this is a sign that we shouldn't be together," Draco bit his lip as he pulled away from Hermione's lingering arms.

"What do you mean, we've made it past so many obstacles Draco why won't you let this relationship work?" Hermione cried as tears flowed from her eyes.

"Stay out of my life if you know what's good for you Hermione," Draco growled as he pushed past her. Leaving her there to wander in her own thoughts, and to wonder what the hell just happened.
