Salt in your wounds

READ THIS ANNOUNCMENT!

This chapter had Hermione singing a song, do not skip it, because it says a lot of how she feels, and my advise to all of you who are reading, listen to the song, so you know what it sounds like, only this one song, none of the others their just there because I love them and they fit, but my advise to all is listen to it, it is 'Goreki' and is sung by 'lamb'

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter or any of the other characters or the places or anything this plot is mine but that's about it anything that you recognise is not mine either, although I'm pretty sure there isn't much.

"you aren't him, when your father dies, kings will go to his funeral, when you do, friends will be there" she wiped away a tear that was sliding down his face, before draco wrapped his arms around him waist and pulled her to him and bowed his head to kiss her. Hermione's arms wrapped around his neck as they deepened the kiss.

CHAPTER

Wait for me

Draco pulled Hermione towards him taking refuge in her warmth and softness. Slowly their kiss became more fierce and needing as their hands explored the others body, slowly their leaned backwards landing on the large four poster bed.

Hermione hands explored Draco's broad chest feeling the muscles that were hidden under his shirt. She had never felt this passion with any one else, her first experience of love in any form had been with Viktor Krum, but that had been shy and cautious, nothing like this, this was a new extreme something you cant read about in a book, that thought once frightened Hermione but now it exhilarated her. It was like a fire was burning inside her and if it was extinguished then she wouldn't be able to live anymore.

Slowly their clothes were taken off and they were left in their naked form, Hermione didn't blush or hide beneath the covers, she lay proud to be there with Draco. She looked closely at Draco's skin tracing the thin silver lines that covered his body, she watched fascinated as her feather light touches made his body tense she looked up to him and saw him watching her she leaned her head up and kissed him tenderly on the chin before moving up to his lips capturing him in a exhilarating kiss.

Draco's hands explored her back and body relishing in the feel of her bare skin under his fingertips her skin was soft and smooth like silk, her fingers explored the thin lines that covered his body, she didn't look away with disgust of sadness but followed the lines with her fingers and eyes her light touches teased his skin. Slowly she leaned up to him and capturing his lips in a kiss he closed his eyes and let the waves of passion engulf him before he pulled her closer and slowly slipping into her, for the first time Hermione didn't shout or scream at this, but was wisped away in the passion.

The morning sun seeped in thought the open curtains waking the two sleeping figures. Hermione slowly opened her eyes and saw Draco's platinum blond hair covering his face and his head rested gently on her stomach, she ran her fingers gently though his soft hair waking him from his slumber, he looked up and saw the source of his comfort smiling at the glow that seemed to radiate off Hermione's face, the morning sun made her skin shine bronze and her hair was wavy and covered her neck and chest he smiled thinking to himself, 'my goddess' her fingers continued to run though his hair, sending chills down his spine.

An hour later the two teens still lay on the bed, Hermione lay comfortably on her back smiling at the gently movements of Draco's pen, she sung softy to herself just loud enough for draco to hear the lyrics of one of her favourite songs, her soft gently voice cascaded out of her mouth in the soft rhythm of the song,

"If I should die,

This very moment,

I wouldn't feel,

For I've never known completeness,

Like being here.

Wrapped in the warmth of you,

Loving every breath of you

Steal my heart this moment

Ohhh it might burst"

Draco drew curving lines drawing a perfect picture of an elegant rose its lines met perfectly making it seem real enough to touch, he closed his eyes gently listening to her soft voice that filled his head, he gazed up at Hermione and her eyes were closed and she had a smile on her face that seemed to shine in the morning light. He watched as he lips formed the words and sent them into the atmosphere.

"Could we stay right here,

Till the end of time

Till the earth stops turning

Wanna love you

Till the seas run dry

I've found the one

I've waited for

All this time I've loved you

And never known your face

All this time I've miss you

And search this human race

Here is true peace

Here my heart knows calm

Safe in your soul

Bathed in your size

Wanna stay right here

Till the end of time

Till the earth stops turning

Gonna love you

All the seas run dry

I've found the one

I've waited for

The one...

I've waited for

All I've known

All I've done

All I've felt

Was leading to this

All I've known

All I've done

All I've felt

Was Leading to this

Wanna stay right here

Till the end of time,

Till the earth stops turning

Gonna love you

Till the seas run dry

I've found the one

I've waited for

The one...

I've waited for

Wanna stay right here

Till the end of time

Till the earth stops turning

Gonna love you

Till the seas

I've found the one...

I've waited for

The one...

I've waited for

The one...

I've waited...

For."

When she finished singing draco leaned forward and kissed her softly on her mouth, all was said in this one kiss, 'your not alone' sometimes that can be the greatest thing in the world to know, the phrase 'I love you' is thrown around so loosely lately it has become worthless, but to Hermione that one phrase 'your not alone', those three words were the most important thing he could have said.

Draco broke from the kiss and signed his work on her stomach before leaning forward and kissing it gently muttering "manere-æternitas" it was a small spell he had learnt a long time ago and had only ever used twice.

There was a knock on the door and then a shuffle followed by muttered voices.

"No, Ron, I'm not apologising"

"Harry I don't know what you did, but she's been locked in there since last night you need to apologise"

"No, Ron, you don't understand, I can't" Hermione's eyes widened and she stared in horror at the large door, Draco looked slightly confused but then understanding hit him and he whispered

"You had a fight with them?" Hermione nodded and whispered

"Harry saw us at the astronomy tower" before getting up and searching for something to wear, she caught a glimpse of the picture draco drew on her in the mirror and smiled turning to him, she quickly gave him a kiss before closing the curtains to the bed concealing him. She put on a large black shirt and some baggy pants and cautiously walked towards the door.

Another knock came to the door, this time there was silence on the other side. Hermione opened it and looked blankly at the two boys.

"Yes?" she asked after there was a second of silence, Harry shifted uncomfortably glancing at Ron. "Harry I don't want your fake apology, we had our discussion in the library, and you made yourself perfectly clear." Then she turned back to enter her room again.

"Hermione wait" she paused when she heard Harry. "Hermione, I should have paid more attention it just, shocked me that you would do that, I mean, I thought you were my friend and then you betrayed me, I didn't know what to think" Hermione sighed and clenched her jaw closing her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Harry, I didn't betray you, I just did something that was right for me for once." She took another step inside her room but was forced backwards by Harry grabbing her arm.

"Hermione he's the enemy!" Hermione turned around and glared at him before her face darkened and she looked sadly at him.

"No Harry, Voldemort is the enemy, death eaters are the enemy, but draco isn't, your just seeing what his father wants to be true" Harry looked at her before letting go of her arm and turning away without another word said he descended the stairs.

Hermione came back into the room and saw Draco with his pants on sitting on the edge of the bed, he looked up and smiled at Hermione as she came closer, she sat at his side and he turned to her.

"Hermione, do you trust me?" Hermione looked up into his stormy eyes and saw fear for the first time.

"Yes" was all she was able to say, Draco sighed and touched her cheek softly.

"Then would you run away with me? My father wants me to get the dark mark tonight, he's taking me and three others to get it done, but I don't want to, if you run away with me, I'll tell him to go to hell then come back for you, we can leave all this behind, become new people and not have to worry about our pasts. Will you wait for me?" Hermione processed this and gazed into his eyes, before whispering,

"Yes, I will wait" Draco smiled and leaned in to kiss her embedding the kiss into his memory.

A/N I'm not happy with this chapter at all, I've been really sick lately and I still sorta am, so that was why I didn't post sooner, so sorry everyone, especially the people who send me reviews saying 'why aren't you updating anymore' but I was well enough today to finish writing the chapter, I'll try to get the next one up while I'm feeling mildly well, so sorry again, I hoped you liked this chapter when the story is finished I might re-do it but its not finished yet. Sorry if anyone thought it was smutty, but that's all the smut that will go into this story, we just had to get all that out of the way and get what happened to happen. So now onto my reviews...

yanely1167- yeah I do, and maybe I will

The Stevie- thank you for the constructive criticism, I know nobody really like s them but they do help, I've gotten my self into a really bad habit, of changing tenses and using comas, I swear I'm the worst and thanks for pointing it out I never really know if I'm doing it or not. You only gave me two reviews so I don't know if you've stopped reading, but f you do keep reading please keep up the criticism, it does help.

Rikki- its so sad that people can relate to what I write, I write it mostly about my own experiences and it is just the worst think in the world to have so many people understand, I'm glade you like my story, and I'm sorry that you and your love are so like Hermione and draco, but I understand what pain is and that people hurt.

'Sometimes hurting is the only thing that keeps us alive' is something my friend said, ok but then he died so I suppose it didn't keep him alive much.

LeggoMyLegolas40- sorry about the mistake, kinda habit to call him that, I might change it but then some might get confused, thanks for the info though.

And to...

Ginger for reviewing I think nearly all my chapters, bloody hell! Talk about a lot of reviews. But thanks : D
