A/N: Again. I haven't updated in like forever but I have an excuse. And as much as I hate excuses this one is a good one. I moved two weeks ago and our internet was just hooked up. ok so here is Chapter 39.
Hermione covered her mouth when she started to breath in dust from the explosion. The air waves from the explosion blew out the torches leaving them in darkness. She could hear the death eaters all walking towards the place where she knew Voldemort was sitting contemplating his next move.
She could also hear people entering the room quickly. The clicks of… sneakers? Filled the Air. There was silence for a few moments until she heard a group unified Lumos spell from the death eaters.
She looked up from her spot on the ground. There was the death eaters on one side and Draco, Harry, Ginny, Lindsay and Ron on the other. Draco had a look on his face that all but screamed the words ' time for you to die." She slowly got to her feet and walked towards them. Her wrist hurt a lot. She cupped it in her other hand and slowly walked into the light
They turned to her as she stumbled into the light. "Oh my god Hermione." Without thinking Draco lowered his wand and turned to her. it was that one moment of weakness that had them. As Draco bundled Hermione up in his arms they heard Voldemort shout " Get them! And Bring me Potter!" he said
They looked up and saw the death eaters running towards them. Their mouths moving to curse them.
"Run!" yelled Harry as Ginny and Draco released full body binding spells onto some of them. Ron and Lindsay were already running down the steps. Harry grabbed the furious Ginny and pulled her down the steps as Draco wrapped his arm around the terror stricken Hermione and pushed her out the hole in the wall. Hermione snapped out of it and ran down the steps following Ginny's red locks. She slipped and fell once just to have Draco pull her back up.
They could see the entrance where the group had entered the castle and ran towards it. as they rounded the last corner a black cloaked figure grabbed Hermione's wrist, making her yell in pain and release the hold she had on Draco's hand.
Draco quickly turned and aimed his wand. "Accio Wand!" he yelled and had the death eaters wand flying toward him. The surprised death eater, now looking at his wand in Draco's pale hand, never saw Hermione's next move. She punched him with her whole body behind it the cheek and when he reeled on her she brought the palm of her hand up against his nose breaking it and making him let go of her wrist. She ran away from him and toward Draco who handed her the death eaters wand and started running again to the exit. Once outside they both looked back.
They winced when they both were forced to a halt by slamming into people's backs. There they were. Everyone was outside and blocking the way out was Voldemort standing there calmly and his right hand man on one side. Lucius. Wormtail coward behind them both.
She looked forward as Harry began to walk forward. "Ron, take Ginny and get her out of here. Get everyone out of here." he looked back at his best friend. " I have to do this. Right now. This is my only chance I have to do this. Get them out of here."
"Harry no." said Ginny in a weak voice. " Please no." she said with tears in her eyes.
"Ginny. I have too." taking a chance he turned away from Voldemort who was just standing there. Without being asked Draco took out his wand and kept it trained on the three people. He nodded at Harry. Harry nodded back. " Ginny. I always knew it would come to this."
She looked up into his green eyes. " But Harry, I don't want you to." She said touching his face with shaking hands. She was crying now.
He could feel the tears backing up in his eyes and cursed them. " Ginny I have to." He said gently kissing her. "Ginny I love you." he said
"I know. I love you." she said before allowing her to be pulled back by Ron who was beginning to pull Lindsay and Ginny towards a low standing wall. "Hermione come on." Ron called
Draco looked at Hermione. In one look she knew what he was going to do. " No. Draco. I'm not leaving you. You might find me a bit harder to get rid of then Ginny."
"Hermione just go please. Please." he begged of her as Harry started walking forward to duel with Voldemort. At the end of this night one of them would no longer be here with the living. " I have to deal with my father." He hugged her, kissed her forehead and then pushed her towards Ron. "Go Hermione."
She cried but she backed away towards Ron who pushed her in front of him and ran off with his hands gripped on the wrists of Ginny and Lindsay. Ron pushed them over the lowstanding wall and finally hopped up to the top. " Good Luck to you mate." He said to Harry who nodded and turned back to Voldemort who had just taken out his wand.
Draco would never forget the look of terror in Hermione's eyes as she went over the wall.
"What are you doing here Malfoy?" Said Harry as Draco walked to up to him.
"Finishing some business Potter. Now don't die ok." Said Draco walking towards his father.
"Ron, Wait Stop, I can't go any further my wrist is killing me." cried Hermione stopping and clutching her wrist.
"Hermione. We can't stop right now. We have to keep going." Said Ron going to her side and pushing her forward a little. Behind them they could see Spells flying. " Come on Harry." He whispered.
Draco watched as Harry ran around the field like a maniac dodging behind ruins of the outer wall of the castle as he walked to his father.
"Father." He said with a set face.
"Draco, do you dare defy me?" Lucius asked.
Draco shrugged. " Looks like it huh?" he got angry suddenly and whipped out his wand and aimed it at his father. " You said you weren't going to do anything to Hermione. Just take her. Then I walk in there and you all are all over her!"
"You tried to run Draco." Refusing to drag his wand out on his own son. " Why did you try to run?"
"Because maybe I found something more precious then you or anything else!" Said Draco taking a step towards his father and making his father take a step back. " I love Hermione and you will never touch her again."
"You love that mudblood?" Lucius asked Shocked. Not only did his son love a mudblood there was no way The Dark Lord would find out he got the wrong girl." No Son of mine is going to love a mudblood." He pulled out his wand.
"Then I guess I am no son of yours." Draco said stepping back into dueling position.
