A/N: Sorry that this chapter is so short, but it just came to me and now I have no idea what to write next.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

Chapter 17: Realization

( Draco)

She turned around and walked away from him, leaving him with nothing; not even one kiss. He stood there looking at her walk away while she held no sign of regret.

Draco sat bolt upright in the hospital bed. The realization that Hermione had left him had finally started to close in on him. The dream that he had woken from was not really a dream. Most of it had been real.

'Hermione is really gone. She's gone…she's really gone.' Draco sat up in his hospital bed thinking. 'I'll never be able to get her back. I really blew it.' Suddenly, Draco let the tears flow down his face. He had held all those tears back all those years, but he had just let it out.

(Hermione)

She turned around and walked away from the only person that she had loved. She pretended to have no regrets, but she was secretly crying on the inside.

Hermione sat up in her bed and her eyes filled with tears. Ginny woke up next to her and held her until she went back to sleep. Hermione had asked Ginny to stay with her so that she didn't feel so alone, and she obliged to her request. Hermione went back to sleep and had the same dream all through the night.

A/N: I promise that there will be a happy ending! Sorry that this chapter is so short but I have nothing else.
