Based on the song: Seventeen from the musical Heathers.
I'm looking for new fanfics to read. Please leave some of your favortie ones in the reactions.
Hermione looked at Draco. They finally found a moment in between the chaos to have a little time for themselves. They had been dating since the end of fourth year but this year all had changed. Draco had said that everything would change now. He had a task to fulfil this year and they couldn't be together anymore.
Hermione didn't want to let Draco go. He had been so different than she thought. He was funny, sweet and trying so hard to be someone his father could be proud of. She didn't want him to serve that despicable Dark Lord. She didn't want to lose him to the other side.
"Please Draco, I know you got a mission but isn't there a way to get away from this?" Hermione pleaded as she took his hands in hers.
Draco pulled his hands free and ran them through his hair. "I need to do this Hermione, only I can fix this. I need to fix this."
"But why?" Hermione tried not to show her hurt by his distance but she couldn't shake the feeling that this was their last meeting.
"My father damaged our name and the Dark Lord is mad at him. I need to right that wrong or he'll do something to my mother."
"Can't Professor Snape help? Maybe Professor Dumbledore could arrange a hide out." Hermione offered weakly. She knew he was going to blow up about that.
"We Malfoys never hide! Snape can't help he has his own mission to do. And I don't trust Dumbledore. He would want something in return. He would want me to spy for the light side. Because I lo- like you. Because I want to keep you safe."
She knew he wanted to say love just then but this got in the way. She was sure that she and Draco were destined to be together but this was going to drive him into the darkness, which she tried to lure him away from. She felt everything slipping through her fingers. She fell down on her knees and started sobbing.
Draco tried to reach out to her, to comfort her, to hold her one more time but it would broke down the wall he carefully crafted around his heart. He almost let her in and showed that he loved her but this was something he had to do. She would understand after everything was over.
Everything he did was for her. Her safety, her life, her love. He needed to get away. He left the room, the sound of Hermione sobbing broke his heart. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he made his way to the come and go room, tonight would end his mission. Tonight the name Malfoy would be respected again.
Hope you like it.
