Here it is… enjoy.

Draco

(I lay on the ground, not able to move my body. I saw Hermione just a few feet away from me on the ground as well. I was bleeding from my back and I felt weak, as if I was going to die. I shouldn't have let her come; it was my fault that she was laying there helplessly.

I then felt the need to get up, to move on… to kill for the one I loved. I picked up my wand and slowly got up off the ground. I then placed my wand to my back and muttered a healing spell. It made my wound tie up and stopped the bleeding. I looked around and saw many Auras and Death Eaters fighting to their deaths. I was on their side; I stood with the Auras this night. So much had happened since this night.

Then a Death Eater sighted me and shot a spell, but I quickly countered it and conjured one of my own "CRUCIO!"

It hit the Death Eater and soon he was on the ground in pain. I felt something then hit me hard on the head and I fell to the ground blacking out.

Normal

"You've been out for a week Hermione, and we have much to talk about." Draco told her, she looked at him with a confused look.

"A week, don't you think that's a bit long?" She asked, immediately remembering and looking at her arm with the Dark Mark on it. Tears came to her eyes as she took a deep breath, the feeling of hate rushing through her body.

"Hermione," Harry said softly, "We know what you've been through. Professor Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix has decided its time to end this all. Tomorrow we go to fight the Death Eaters and for me to kill Voldemort."

"Harry," Hermione spoke, she knew exactly what she wanted to say, "I'm coming with you… I will stand next to you and fight!"

Draco

I woke up, my vision slightly blurry, but I wasn't dead so I knew that was a good thing. I stood once again, finding Hermione still down on the ground. I ran to her and checked her pulse… still alive… good.

I looked over at saw many Death Eaters were now dead and the Auras, the Order of the Phoenix, and Harry had the rest of the four Death Eaters and Voldemort surrounded. I ran and joined them. The rest of the Death Eaters had dropped dead, now it was just Voldemort against everybody else.

Just then Voldemort muttered a spell and everyone around us dropped dead except for Harry and me. My breath became short and it hurt to breathe. I tried to concentrate on her and now but for some reason I could only think of Hermione. Her beautiful hazel nut eyes, that radiant smile, every curl in her perfectly placed hair.

Then I felt a third in between Harry and I, I looked to my left and saw Hermione standing with her wand pointed to Voldemort.

The three of us were standing there, facing him. He looked at us all with a small sadistic smile playing on his lips. We were about ten feet away from him, he knew what we were there for and yet he was playing with us like pawns on a chessboard.

"Hermione, go, run… get out of here!" I told her, seeing Voldemort slowly walk towards us with his wand in his hand… ready.

"NO! I will not run from him or from this! I will not abandon you now, Draco Malfoy! I love you!" She yelled at me, tears coming to her eyes.

I looked away from her but soon felt her usually warm but now shivering body against me. I held her close to me and placed my lips upon hers, feeling her tremble but soon kissed me back.

"I love you too, Hermione!" I whispered in her ear and then I let go of her and faced Voldemort, not fearing anymore, I conjured my first spell towards him, "Riptasempra!"

It didn't hit him because he blocked it with another spell, and then shouted, "ACCIO!"

I then saw Hermione fly towards him and was in his grasp. My heart sank as I yelled to him, "LET HER GO!" Which I soon realized Harry had yelled the same thing.

"No," He said calmly, "Place your wands down and I will."

I looked over at Harry, I knew what to do… and… I knew what was going to happen. I had to though; it was the only way I could save her. I looked over at Hermione; tears were streaming down her cheeks. Her eyes were reddened from crying, and she held her breath inside of her it seemed.

"As you wish," I said to Voldemort which made him look over at me, I placed my wand on the ground and caught eye contact with Hermione.

"AVEDA KEDAVRA!" I heard Voldemort yell and soon after that I heard Harry say it as well. I fell to the ground not able to breathe. I looked up at saw Voldemort on the ground… dead.

My memories then came shooting back at me… they were like images that I never wanted to let go of.

The time where he first opened up to her:

Hermione was in the courtyard studying on one of the stone benches, "Nothing changes, does it?

"She looked up and saw me standing before her, "What?" She asked looking down again at her book.

"You're still that book worm you always were, why not hang out with me?" I asked randomly.

The first time she actually addressed him as her "boyfriend"

"You mean someone like you, Ron?" And before he could respond she kept on, "Just so you know, Draco has done nothing but treat me right! And just so we're clear, even though I don't know why I have to explain this to you, I like it when he kisses me, ok? He is my" Then she lost words, she wanted to say boyfriend but they really didn't say they were anything.

I smiled, "I think that my girlfriend wants to finish what she was saying."

Their first fight:

Draco felt anger serge inside of him, "You know how many girls would die to be in your place?"

She stopped unpacking, looked over at Draco with a very confused look. "Where did that come from?"

"Well, do you?" Draco repeated, his anger still crumbling inside of him making him angrier by the minute.

The many times of comfort and concern:

I walked over to her, I placed my hand on her back and she shook a bit, as if I surprised her.

"Hermione," I spoke softly, "What's wrong?"

Hermione sat up and faced me; she crossed one leg over the other and wiped her tears away.

"It's nothing, really." She said, lying obviously.

Admitting love:

"It's so unfair how you and I were just pushed together!" She shouted once more, my heart now beating a bit faster, "And now we have to spend every waking moment with each other! It's not that I don't enjoy it but I miss having time with myself! ALSO, IT'S JUST HOW THEY WANTED IT BECAUSE I ALSO DIDN'T PLAN ON FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU!"

Knowing she was truly with me:

"Draco," She said once our lips parted, "If you don't want it I understand. Don't you dare doubt my love for you! We're in this together; even though we have to wed we can still fix this. We'll find a way." She took a long breath, "together."

My thoughts of love for her:

I didn't know where I was going to take her but I wasn't going to let her stay here and die for something and someone she didn't believe in. I was going to save her sanity, her life, her freedom… and maybe, just maybe, I was going to save me too.

All the times we said that we loved each other and everything that came with it. I felt a twitch inside of myself and then my eyes opened a little.

Harry and Hermione were at my wake… but soon I couldn't make out their shapes of their bodies. I looked in Hermione's eyes… Her hazel nut eyes and realized that this was the last time I would ever get to see into those eyes.

I tried so hard to move my hand up to her cheek and finally it made it there. To touch her one last time and I whispered as my last words, "Hermione, I … love… you."

I then felt myself go, and no more would my eyes open again.

Hermione

"Draco?" I seemed to have lost control, my eyes filled with tears of anger, pain, and a deep love for Draco.

I knew he was gone; he did it to save me… to save everybody. Tears streamed down my cheeks and I felt myself not wanting to live. I didn't want to breathe; I wanted to die with him! I couldn't live with out him, and it tore my insides apart! I felt Harry's arms around me but I didn't know how to embrace him back… I didn't know how to live.)

Draco

I sat right up in my bed, breathing fast and hard. I looked over and saw Hermione next to me. It was a dream, just a bloody dream. My breathing calmed down a bit as I kissed Hermione's forehead.

I then got hold of my breathing and got up and out of bed. I walked out of the room and down to the kitchen. We were at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters. I then poured myself coffee and sat down at the table. Trying to forget of the dream I had just had.

"Bad night?" I heard someone ask me which made my head turn quickly over to the voice.

Harry stood in the doorway with a small smile. He then walked in and got some coffee as well and sat across from me at the table.

"Yeah," I replied, "You?"

"Kind of," He answered with a small smile.

"Are you ready for the final battle… whenever that comes." Harry asked me, taking a sip from his cup.

"Yes," I answered very truthfully, though I realized I hadn't given this answer much thought. "Are you?"

"I've been ready. Dumbledore ordered for all the women to stay here though. So, that's one less thing I have to worry about."

When Harry said that I felt a long relief come over my entire body. Hermione wasn't going to be there, now I could fight and then when all was done I could come home to see those hazel nut eyes.
