Chapter 8
The Finally
AN: I'm really sorry it's been so long. I've been crazy busy with college and I've been busy with work all winter break so there hasn't been a lot of time to write. Not to mention that I've been stuck on this chapter since, well, chapter 7. So I finally decided to scrape the old one and start chapter 8 completely fresh. So here it is, the very long awaited chapter 8.
Quick recap: Voldemort attacked Hogwarts with his whole Death Eater army and Draco, Harry, and a surprising twist-Dumbledore killed Voldemort. With the death of Voldemort, all of the Death Eaters died because of their dark marks. Nasty little side effect they didn't know about. Then Harry and Draco went to the hospital wing and were healed by Madam Pomfrey. End recap:
"Did you see Hermione in there?" Draco asked Harry once they exited the hospital wing.
"No, it was too packed. I didn't see Blaise either."
"Hmm. Well, I'm going to head back to the Heads room and shower."
"Alright. Hey Draco."
"Yeah?"
"Is it alright if I stop by later?"
"Sure."
Draco's feet carried him without his knowledge all the way to the Heads room. He mumbled the password and the painting swung open. Casually he glided to the bedroom. Crookshanks was lying on his dresser and he gave him a scratch on the head as he pulled out some fresh clothes.
"Draco?" came a soft voice.
Draco turned around to face the talking bed. He cautiously walked towards it, how had he not noticed someone there when he entered the room?
"Hermione?" He pulled the covers down exposing the persons face. It was her. "When did you get here?"
"I've been here for awhile. You don't look too beat up," she stroked the side of his face.
"I went and saw Madam Pomfrey hoping to find you and she just healed us instead. How are you feeling?"
"A lot better. I just need a few days of rest and I should be back to normal."
"That's good to hear. I'm going to take a quick shower then we can rest together," he went to get up but Hermione grabbed his arm.
"I love you Draco," she smiled lovingly at him.
"I love you too and I will forever," he leaned down and captured her lips in his.
Things around Hogwarts eventually got back to normal. The holidays came and went and before everyone knew it they were all packing getting ready to go home. Students stood on Platform 9 ¾ saying their last goodbyes.
"Are you ready to go home Draco?" Hermione asked him.
Draco laced his fingers in hers. "Any place with you is home for me."
A/N: Well, I'm really sorry it's been so long for this story to finish up, and sorry the ending kind of sucks. I still haven't gotten the hang of writing good endings. If anyone has any suggestions for a better one let me know and I'll give it another crack. But anyway, this is my first Fan Fic and I hope you liked it for the most part.
