Last time, on A Love Stronger Than Hate:
"Hermione, listen to me. I have to do this. I pledged my alliance to Dumbledore, so I am part of the Order. I must help, and I want to kill that asshole for ruining my life. For trying to ruin ours"
Hermione looked into his eyes. She could see the pain in those stormy depths. She sighed, tears springing into her eyes,
"You could get hurt" She whispered. Draco pulled her close.
"I promised you I wouldn't leave you" He assured her.
"Go to my room, its upstairs, second door on the left, and don't leave. Promise me!" Hermione nodded, tears splashing on his shoulder.
"I promise" Draco looked at her, and kissed her softly.
"Be careful, I love you" He whispered. She smiled through her tears.
"Right back at you" Then she hurried away.
Draco sighed.
"Lets do this"
They stood at the door, and Draco peeked in through the crack. He instantly regretted it. He could see his father sitting at the table, surrounded my Death Eaters. He recognized heaps of them, Crabbe, Goyle, Lestrange, and others. He suddenly felt an overpowering sense of hatred run through him at the sight of all Lucius's goons. He just wanted to kill him. Dumbledore seemed to feel Draco's change, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Draco, its time. Calm down" He said quietly. Draco nodded, took a big breath and charged into the room.
A/N: I am so sorry I haven't updated. I forgot about this story, and I thought it was going no-where! I will try and write a good chapter this time, to make up for it. I got some flames for not updating, and I truly hope you like this chapter.
I would like to dedicate this chapter to Harrena Potter, for making me realize that people actually like this story! Haha.
Disclaimer: It's not mine people.
Chapter 13: Parents from Hell.
"FUCKERS!!!!!!"
Draco couldn't hold his temper as he charged into the room. In a matter of minutes, doors all around the room, and Ministry members ran in all directions, shooting spells.
Dumbledore attacked Bellatrix Lestrange, and the other wizards duelled other Death Eaters. It seemed they left one man out, especially for Draco. Lucius.
With all the commotion going on, Draco really couldn't hear it when he laid eyes on his father. The man that had taken so much from him, and was planning to take more.
"Hello, Draco" Lucius smirked, his voice silky and sending chills down Draco's spine. He straightened up.
"You took so much from me as a child, Father" He spat the last word out, like it made him sick to say it. "But I refuse to let you take the one thing that mattered more to me than anything in the world"
His father laughed, cruel and high.
"One less mudblood in the world" Draco had heard enough. He had seen red, and before he knew what was happening, he had shouted the one curse his father could not fight. Avada Kedavra.
"Serpensortia!" Lucius bellowed. The two spells hit, and bounced off each other.
"Try harder, Draky" He teased. Draco got angrier by the minute, but before he could think, he was hit by a Stunner. He fell to the ground. Lucius laughed.
It wore off, and Draco stood. He had had enough of this.
"FIRENIOUS!"
Lucius screamed as he went up in flame. He ran around on fire, and jumped out the window. The smashing of the glass caught the attention of the people in the room, and they turned. They ran to the window, and realized that Lucius was on the grass, burnt to death. The Death Eaters looked at Draco, and disappeared at once.
Dumbledore stepped forward. "Are you ok, Mr Malfoy?" He asked. Draco nodded, glad that he was free at last.
But the happy feeling didn't last for long. He heard a scream from upstairs.
"Oh shit" He muttered, and took off running up the stairs.
He burst into his room, and saw Hermione on the bed, and his mother with her. She was punching her in the face, and Hermione was fighting her off.
"Mother, let her go or you will sorely regret it!" He shouted. His mother turned, grabbed Hermione, and held her wand to her head, her arm around her neck.
"Back away, Draco, or your sweetheart is as good as dead. I promise you" She grinned evilly. Hermione had tears in her eyes, her face bruised.
"Let her go, Mother. Now" Draco took one step. Narcissa pushed the wand into her head harder, making Hermione yelp in pain.
"I think its time you felt pain, Draco. Real pain" Draco stared at her.
"You have no idea what pain I go through, or been through, with parents like you and Lucius" Draco snarled.
But Narcissa had already made her decision.
"Crucio" Hermione fell to the ground, writhing in what looked like unimaginable pain, which was exactly what it was. Hermione's scream would put a banshee to shame.
"NOOO!" Draco dropped to his knee's beside her. But Narcissa had it figured out.
"Comaticus" She whispered, and Draco crumpled to the ground.
Narcissa walked out of the room, but she gasped as she saw Dumbledore.
"Hello, Narcissa"
Soon, the pain stopped, and Hermione laid still, hardly daring to move. The room was empty, but she sensed someone near her. She turned, and saw Draco in a heap.
"Draco?" She whispered, still in a whole lot of pain. He didn't move.
She quickly felt his pulse, and it was faint, but there. Suddenly, due to the extent of her knowledge, she knew what had happened to him. Lowered body temperature and heart rate, faint pulse. Narcissa had put him under the Coma Curse.
Hermione started to cry. People could die from that curse. She did the first thing she thought of. She stood up, and tried to life Draco. He was so heavy, and she still hurt, but she didn't care. She lifted him up over her shoulder, and walked out of the room to find Dumbledore.
She walked slowly down the stairs, and came to a stop when she saw Tonks running towards her.
"What happened!" She cried. Hermione sat down on the floor.
"Coma...curse. Please…help….him" She panted. She heard Tonks shout for Moody, before she realized she was somewhere else. They must of apparated.
She saw the front gates of Hogwarts. She felt a rush of happiness and security over her. The shock had started to wear off, and her fight with Narcissa took its toll. Her body and face ached, and she turned and saw Draco on a stretcher Moody had conjured.
"Let me on" She asked, and Moody nodded. She hopped on, and cuddled close to Draco. They got closer to the castle and Hermione fell asleep.
The next morning, Hermione woke, and she was on a bed in the Hospital Wing. She sat up slowly, and saw Madam Pomfrey walking around the beds, checking her patients. With a pang of alarm, she saw Draco, still asleep, on a bed not far from hers.
"Draco!" She cried, trying to get out of bed, but Madam Pomfrey came over and pushed her back down.
"Miss Granger, he is stable, but he needs to rest, dear!" She tried to calm Hermione down.
Dumbledore then walked into the Hospital.
"Madam Pomfrey, if you will, Miss Granger was been through a most strenuous ordeal. Please, allow her to be with Mr Malfoy, and put her heart at rest" Hermione could have kissed Dumbledore at that moment. Madam Pomfrey huffed and walked away, not used to Dumbledore telling her how to treat the students in the Hospital Wing.
Hermione smiled at the old Headmaster. "Thank you" She whispered. He winked.
Hermione then frowned. "Where is Narcissa?" Dumbledore smiled.
"She is at the Ministry, getting ready for Azkaban" Hermione hugged Dumbledore and kissed his cheek. She then hopped off the bed, and slowly walked over to Draco.
His face was so peaceful, so angelic she nearly cried. She couldn't lose him, not after all they had been through.
"I love you Draco" She murmured against his skin as she laid down beside him, and one single tear escaped her eye and wet his cheek. But she was already asleep by the time his eyes started to flutter.
Next chapter will have some of Draco's dreams from his coma state, and Narcissa may make another appearance
I hope that's not too short for you. I am going to think about the next chapter now! And don't worry, it won't take me so long next time.
Dracos-Baby.
