Chapter 8 Love Makes People Do Crazy Things
Hermione knew what her decision was, even before she had talked to Draco. She had let her heart take over her mind. She knew her feelings where one-sided, for Draco Malfoy in no way loved her or every would.
Hermione took out a quill and signed the papers in the file releasing Malfoy. She was mentally mad at herself but her heart didn't care as long as the one she loved wasn't in here suffering.
No one was going to like her as Ministry of Magic now that she had released a well known death eater onto the streets. This was not going to be one of her shining moments of her career or life, but she didn't care.
"Mr. Malfoy, I've made my decision and-" Hermione began.
"I'm free!" Draco said happy oozing from his voice!
"Not exactly. You are being put on a probation. You must prove to me and the wizarding world that you're a good person or at least a decent one. For the next three years you will be closely watched and will have to make regular visits to check in with the Ministry. You must find a job, house, and have a steady life before you can get off probation. If you commit any criminal act at all while on probation you will find yourself back here with no chance at getting out! Any questions?"
"Why? Why are you doing this? After everything I did to you!" Draco was in a bit of a shock.
"I know how to forgive people, Mr. Malfoy." Hermione said in her business tone. "You're free to leave."
"Granger?" Draco suddenly sounded withdrawn.
"Yes?''
"Can I have some help?" Draco cast his eyes down at the floor. "I can't see! I won't know where I'm going."
"I get an intern sent over. Just don't be to bossy, got it?"
"Yes." Draco said as he stood up from the chair.
Hermione went into the hall and got the guard and Kenneth. The guard undid Draco's handcuffs and he rubbed his wrist. I instructed the guard to call my secretary and have her send over, Cat Wiltshire. She gave the paper to Kenneth to be filed in the right spot then she disapparaited home.
She sat heavily on her couch. "I can't believe I just released him. God, love makes people do stupid things!" She said as she lay down and stared at her ceiling.
