Chapter 11....
A Miracle
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione's eyes flew open with a gasp. Harry saw this and moved back, as Hermione turned to her side and started to be sick.
"Hermione!" Harry said, his voice thick with emotion.
Draco was sitting not far away from the commotion, and Harry turned to him.
"Draco! Look! She is alive!" Harry cried, shaking him.
Draco didnt move. He still had his head in on his knees. He couldnt live anymore. Hermione was gone and here was Potter, in total denial!
"She is not alive, she is dead and I have nothing anymore. I told her I wouldnt let her die, and look what happened. I am useless" He said in a defeated tone.
Harry looked at him in frustration.
"Look Malfoy! If you dont look at Hermione I will hex you into the next Century!" Harry demanded.
Draco looked up, and to Harry's surprise, his face was streaked with tears. Draco looked at Harry with anger evident in his grey eyes.
"Leave me be, Potter! Dont you understand! She is go-" Before he could finish he heard a soft voice.
"Draco?"
Draco's head snapped to the side, and he saw Hermione on the ground, lying on her side facing him, looking very tired. He couldnt believe his eyes. He got on his hands and knees and crawled past Harry towards her.
"Your....alive?" He asked disbelievingly.
She smiled.
"Yes, I am. Harry saved me" Draco looked back at Harry.
"Thanks, Potter. You dont know what this means to me" He held his hand out.
Harry shook it.
"I didnt do it just for you, you know. We need her too, Ron and I" Harry smirked.
Draco grinned and turned back to Hermione. His expression changed to anger.
"Dont you ever scare me like that again, you understand me?" He demanded.
Hermione put her arms around his neck and pulled him down to her.
"Never ever" She whispered against his lips and kissed him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco lifted Hermione off the cold steps of Hogwarts and carried her into the castle. He took her straight to the castle and ran into Madam Pomfrey.
"Mr Malfoy!" She exclaimed, startled.
She looked at Hermione, who was bundled up in Draco's arms. She ushered them through the corridor and to the Grand Staircase.
"Quickly, Mr Malfoy, I want to make sure Miss Granger is ok" She said worriedly.
They walked swiftly into the Hospital Wing, and Draco layed Hermione on the bed. While the nurse puttered around getting potions for Hermione, Draco sat next to her on the bed.
"I want to ask you something, Hermione" He said arkwardly.
Hermione stared at him confused.
"What is it, Draco? I am listening" She replied.
Draco took her hand in his and smiled at her.
"I almost lost you, Hermione, and I never want to lose you again. Will you marry me?"
Hermione lay there in shock. Draco eyed her expectantly.
"Oh..well....of course I will marry you!" She exclaimed.
Draco's face shone.
"Of course not right away, like after Hogwarts?" He said excitedly.
Hermione beamed at him.
"I love you" She whispered.
"I love you too" He hugged her tight
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It seemed that everyone in Hogwarts knew of Hermione and Draco's engagement. It was a secret, so naturally, everyone in the school knew. Not that Hermione nor Draco really cared. Half the Slytherins turned thier back on Draco, but he kept Crabbe and Goyle, because they were too thick to realize what was happening.
Pansy went off her rocker, but Draco just did a silencing charm on her, so she was screaming at him with no sound. Everyone laughed at this and Pansy walked out of the hall in a huff.
Hermione looked over at the Slytherin table only to catch her fiancee's grey eyes in hers. He gave her a smirk. Life really was perfect.
That night in the Head Common room, Hermione was sitting on the couch reading Hogwarts: A History. Draco came in after Quidditch training, all sweaty, and saw the back of her head on the couch. Deciding to be devious, he snuck up on her and closed his hands over her eyes.
"Guess who" He said huskily.
Hermione gasped at first and then laughed.
"Ummm, Harry?" She said teasingly.
"No, guess again" Draco smirked.
"Uhh....my big, handsome Dragon?" Draco cracked up.
"I will give you that one" He laughed.
Hermione turned her head and glared at him.
"Not that I believe the handsome bit" She smiled wickedly.
Draco's eyes widened.
"I will get you for that one, Missy!"
Hermione gasped and started to run away. He chased her, giggling like mad, to the bedroom, and he locked the door, and pushed her onto the bed, expertly.
He looked down at her, his silver hair covering his eyes.
"You look so adorable when your scared of me" He kissed her nose.
Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck. She had a part of her memory modified by Madam Pomfrey, so she wouldnt remember Ron raping her as Draco. Draco had requested this after Hermione gave him permission. It was easier this way.
"How could I be afraid of you" She kissed him passionately.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Back at Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy had a big group of Death Eaters surrounding him.
"In light of this new information, and me being Voldemorts right-hand man, I am the new Dark Lord!" His voice boomed around the room.
The others clapped him.
"Let the initiation begin!" Lucius announced.
He went over to a young girl. She was shaking, her eyes wide.
"Well, little mudblood. You will do well for my sacrifice" He sneered.
"Please dont kill me, please!" She begged.
"Shut up!" He slapped her.
He produced a knife and cut her hand. The young girl gasped. He pressed her hand to a piece of parchment and started to chant. His body illuminated to a bright orange.
The girl cried out and shielded her eyes. Lucius laughed at her.
"Goodbye, Mudblood. Thankyou for assisting me in becoming the newest feared Dark Lord! Avada Kedavra!" He shouted.
The young girl collapsed to the ground as the shot of green light hit her.
"Now I am your new master. I hear my son and that wretched Potter killed our Lord. He will be killed!"
The room erupted with cheers. But one stepped forward.
"But, my new Lord, the Prophecy. Surely when young Malfoy and his mudblood mate, it will be the end of you!"
Lucius looked thoughtful.
"Then we must act quickly. We must go to Hogwarts and kill the Mudblood"
They all apparated to the forbidden forest. Lucius grinned manically.
"We meet again, Draco. You will now know not to cross me again"
