Two Opposites Attract
Chapter 7
The Encounter
A/N: You guys are going to like this chapter.
Weeks passed and Halloween was approaching. Things passed by like nothing out of the ordinary. Harry and Blaise were happy getting to know each other and Draco and Hermione were still taking things slow. Classes were just that, classes. Everything seemed normal in the castle except for the weather.
It had been raining everyday since the meeting out at the lake. The rain was taking a toll on the students and was reflected in their moods. Everyone was a little bitter and not as friendly as they usually are. Uniting the school though was going well. Between Draco and Hermione, they got the Slytherin's and the Gryffindor's to stop fighting all of the time and be decent to each other.
In the Great Hall, the ceiling showed the heavy rain with the occasional lightning bolts stretching across the sky. Draco smiled to himself and shook his head because it reminded him of Harry. Of all the things to think about. He looked across the hall for Hermione. When she caught his eye they smiled at each other. No one really knew about them going out yet, and to Draco, he'd rather keep it that way.
Once they were done eating they all headed back to their common rooms because there was nothing else to do on this Saturday afternoon. Once in the dorm, both Hermione and Draco went and sat on the couch in front of the fire and cuddled.
"I'm so glad we don't have any homework to worry about this weekend." Draco said.
"Really? I feel a little lost without any. I almost don't know what to do with all my free time."
"I know what we could do with this free time."
"Oh? And what would that be?"
Draco leaned around Hermione and locked his lips with hers in a passionate kiss. Slowly they moved so they were both laying down with Draco on top. He slid his hand slowly up the side of her shirt slightly pulling her shirt up in the process. Just then Hermione pulled out of the kiss.
"I think we should do it. I have this strange feeling."
He nodded in agreement, got off her, and carried her to the bedroom. Once he placed her on the bed he pulled his shirt up over his head revealing his toned chest, abs, and his low pants revealed his boxers and his v-cut. His hear was slightly falling in his face giving him an edgy look. The butterflies in Hermione's stomach were flying around like mad at the sight. She laid on her back resting her head on the pillow and he slowly crawled at her like an animal stalking its prey. She pulled her knees up slightly out of instinct, as he got closer.
As he slid into place between her legs he let out a low, quiet growl and ran a hand along the underside of her leg all the way to her hip where he proceeded to slowly undo her pants. He pulled her pants off and took his off as well. They both went under the sheets and started kissing. Things heated up and intensified. Moans escaped both mouths.
"Hermione!" Someone shouted and banged on the door.
"Draco! Come out here now!" Another voice yelled.
"Ger. I knew we shouldn't have given them the password to get into the common room." Draco said. "What should we do?"
"We better let them in."
Draco reluctantly rolled off Hermione and stood up naked because he had lost his boxers in the passion. He walked over and got another pair out of the drawer and went over to the door. He looked back at Hermione making sure she had some clothes on before opening the door. Once she had something on he opened the door and Harry and Blaise came bursting into the room.
"You're not going to believe it!" Blaise started then stopped when he noticed Draco in his boxers. "Why do you only have your boxers on?" Then he looked at the bed and saw Hermione sitting there flushed, he gasped and said, "Our bad. Draco I'm so sorry. I'd never have if I'd known but this is really important."
"Calm down Blaise. What did you guys want?"
"Voldamort is here!" Harry yelled.
"What?" Both Draco and Hermione yelled at the same time.
"He's outside fighting the teachers and we're going down there. We just wanted to see if you guys were coming or staying here." Said Harry.
"I'm coming." Said Draco.
"Me too." Hermione added and got up.
They both went and put on clothes while the boys waited impatiently. Once they were ready all four ran out the portrait and down the stairs then busted through the front doors into the pouring rain and lightning filled sky.
There were numerous people out all over the front yard of the school. People dressed in black robes being Deatheaters and the others dressed in different colored robes being teachers. Back by the gates there was a tall pale figure in black robes.
"That must be Voldemort!" Yelled Harry over the shouts of spells and screams of pain.
They all pulled their wands out and started making their way into the fight.
"Try to stay together and double up on the Deatheaters." Ordered Draco.
Draco dodged a spell that went right by his head and fired a powerful jinx that hit the Deatheater in the chest sending him flying backwards. "Bastard." Draco mumbled.
"Ah!" Draco looked over see Blaise on his back with a Deatheater on top of him strangling him. He fired a spell that knocked the Deatheater off and Draco ran over to Blaise and helped him up.
"Are you okay?" Draco asked.
Blaise coughed a few times and was gasping for breath. "I'm fine…Harry… needs to…get to…Dark…Lord…"
Draco looked up and saw Harry running towards Voldemort followed by Hermione.
"Morons. Will you be okay here?"
"Yeah. I'll head back…towards the castle." He hugged Draco and whispered in his ear, "I know you'll do…what's right Drake."
"Drake?"
"Yeah…it's my secret…pet name for you."
"Oh Blaise." They let go of each other. "Now go up to the castle." And with that being said he took off as fast as he could towards Harry and Hermione.
It was difficult. The closer he got to Voldemort the more Deatheaters there seemed to be. It was like an endless supply of them. He had to stop many times and fight one on one with them taking damage from some. Finally what seemed like an hour, he caught up to Harry and Hermione.
"Hermione!" Draco yelled as he finished a fight with a very tall and bulky Deatheater. "Hermione!"
He looked around frantically until he saw her on the ground. He ran and knelt next to her in the mud. "Hermione." He picked her up and rested her in his lap and brushed her wet hair out of her face.
"Draco?" She opened her eyes and looked at him. "Your head's bleeding." She wiped the blood above his right eye away. "And your chest. From your dad."
"It's okay. Don't worry about that."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry. You never have to say sorry to me, you understand? Never." (A/N: shivers)
She smiled and closed her eyes. "Stay with me!" He shook her till she opened her eyes again.
"Help Harry my love." Draco looked up and saw Harry fighting three Deatheaters at once. "Please. He needs help."
"You need help too." He said looking back at her.
"He's the one that needs to go on and finish this."
"Fine." He leaned over and kissed her. "I'll come back for you."
"I know you will." And he laid her down gently.
"Malfoy!" He turned around at the sound of his name. It was Ron.
He grabbed Ron by the front of his robes. "Take her back to the castle and keep her safe."
"Sure." He picked her up and started back towards the castle.
Knowing that she was safe he ran after Harry and from a distance Draco fired jinxes and spells at the Deatheaters Harry was fighting. He turned around just in time to see Draco come to a halt by his side.
"Come on Potter. Let's end this."
"Right."
The two strongest seventeen year olds Hogwarts has ever seen marched forward side by side towards the worst evil anyone has ever laid eyes on. Dripping in blood and soaked to the bone from the rain they were untouchable with the combination of light side and dark side magic, they continued forward. The rain and lighting intensified the closer they got to the gates where the final battle awaited them. During their time as they made their way down the yard covering each other's back with a combination of magic and muggle fighting, they earned the respect from each other and all hostility they had towards one another was completely gone.
Finally they reached their destination. They stopped about thirty yards away.
"Cover my back and I'll take him down." Harry said wiping the rain off his glasses and started walking towards Voldemort.
"Wait." Draco grabbed Harry by the shoulder and turned him around so they were facing each other. He held his wand at Harry's face and cast a spell on his glasses that didn't allow the rainwater to touch them so he could see clearly. "Wouldn't want Mr. Hero dieing because he couldn't see clearly." Draco smirked.
"Thanks Draco, for everything. I know it was you Hermione told about me being, you know. I just wanted to say thanks."
"Any time." Harry held out his blood soaked hand and Draco took it in his own stained hand. "Now, go be the hero. I'll have your back so just focus on that asshole."
Harry smirked. "Don't worry about that." He started towards Voldemort.
"Hey Potter!" Draco yelled and he turned around. "Holler if you need help!" Harry nodded and kept going. "Now." Draco turned around at the approaching Deatheaters and yelled as loud as he could. "Who wants a piece of this?" He fired a huge hex that made a bunch of Deatheaters fall and scream in pain.
The fight lasted a long time. Then number of Deatheaters finally started dwindling. Draco noticed that other students had come outside and between them and the teachers they had created a giant circle around the Deatheaters and started closing in on them.
"Malfoy!" He turned and saw Seamus and Dean running towards him.
"What are you guys doing out here?" He yelled thought the rain and lightning.
"What does it look like?" Seamus said as he slid to a halt next to Draco.
"Draco!" He turned around at the sound of Harry's voice.
"He needs help." Dean said and started towards Harry.
"No! You two stay here and take my spot, I'll go help him."
"What make you think you're better than us and can order us around?" Seamus protested.
"Damn it Finnegan! Just do what I say!" And with that he left the two Gryffindor's and went to Harry's aid.
When he got there Harry was a swaying slightly on his feet but had his wand raised and pointed at Voldemort who looked to be in just as bad as shape as Harry.
"Good job Harry."
"Thanks. Now lets finish him together."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. One final spell from both of us."
Harry muttered what spell they'd use and they both took up the stance. Like a reflection in a mirror, they both did the same movements and chanted the spell as their wands started glowing red and two blue streams of light escaped their wands and his Voldemort's counter spell. They held their place and intensified their power. Slowly Voldemort seemed to be weakening. But it wasn't enough. The boys wouldn't be able to hold the spell much longer. Out of nowhere a third, more powerful blue light shot in-between the boys and knocked Voldemort down.
They both looked back and saw Dumbledore standing a few yards behind them then looked back at Voldemort's unmoving body.
"I'd say he is finally out of the picture all thanks to you boys." Dumbledore said as he approached the boys.
"How do you know that sir?" Harry asked.
"Take a look at the Deatheaters." They all looked back and saw that all of them were laying on the ground.
"What happened to them?" Draco asked.
"The dark mark. Nasty little side affect if their master dies, they die too." Draco grabbed his left arm. Thank god I never got mine. "Yes, thank everyone you can think of." Dumbledore said as if he were reading Draco's thoughts.
"So what now?" Harry asked.
"I think everyone should go to the hospital wing." Said Dumbledore.
"What about all of the Deatheaters?" Draco asked.
"I'll take care of them. Now, you two run along and have your injuries checked out."
They both walked back to the castle as the rain kept falling with just as much intensity as before. Once at the castle they went to the packed hospital wing. There were so many people they all wouldn't fit into the ward. There was a sign on the wall saying that if you had serious injuries to go inside.
"I'm going to stay out here. You should go in." Draco said to Harry.
"You look pretty beat up yourself. All that blood on your chest, you should come in too." And with that they both went in.
There were moans of pain coming from a lot of the beds. Draco noticed Madam Pomfrey running around like a chicken with its head cut off when she noticed them. She waved them over to her and they obeyed. She gave a wave of her wand and their cuts healed and she pushed them out of the room.
A/N: So? Worth the wait wasn't it? Sorry about that too. Can't promise that the next one is going to come soon so please be patient.
