Title: Ferret

(A/n) I've had this whole story done for a week now. So it'll be one chapter after another. I'm not in a good mood and this story is pissing me off cause it's a happy ending. I almost want to change the ending. Tell me if it should be happy or sad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco watched as the sun went down. He hadn't changed since she left. But night meant he'd be sleeping curled in his bed with her last words yelling at him. Pansy was clinging to his arm talking four other girls. One being his sister. They were chatting over so many different things he was lost. Ginny and Blaise were dancing, his mother and father were talking with the older guests and smiling at the kids. It was midnight and the band had started a slow song.

'Close your eyes

Fallow me into

The night…

He watch his best mate pull Ginny close. He smirked as Blaise winked at him from over Ginny's shoulder. Draco sighed and looked up at the double doors, She's still not here. He froze as the doors opened and a cloud of silver canaries came from the doors and vanished into the air as the man at the stairs smiled to Lucius and Blaise.

'I'm yours to

Fly away into

The silver moon…

"Presenting, the lady in white! Miss Hermione Jean Granger." She came from through the doors. Her brown hair was in ringlets. A small tiara made a diamond crest on her forehead while her neck danced with a small green cross. Her gown was a stunning flowing silver gown with sleeves that seemed to be made of icicles. Her make-up was soft blues and her lips look as though they were covered in frost.

'Come away with me

Take my hand and you'll see

Just what we could be…

Narcissa looked ready to kill as Lucius took the girls hand. Pansy looked ready to cry and Blaise looked ready to burst with pride. Draco just smiled and walked to take her from his fathers company. She smiled and let him take her hand, "Did you figure it out?" he smiled.

"Love. That's what changed me back, but… you had to say it to me." She smiled and walked to the dance floor with him. The band started a new song that was slow like that last. Hermione let her arms rest around his neck and her head rest on his shoulder. The whole room watched them dance.

"I love you, Draco."

"Hermione… I don't know if I can say it back just yet, but I know I do, too." Draco kissed her on the lips. Both were so caught up with each other they didn't notice Narcissa draw her wand. She smirked.

Lucius tried to grab her hand, but the words came faster then he could stop them, "ACIDUS!" the beam of black light hit Hermione roughly in the back. Hermione stopped dancing and slid to the ground. Narcissa smirked, "And that's how she killed Snow White." Draco was froze in shock. Lucius glared at his wife and Harry picked up the still body of his best friend. Blaise helped him to carry her into a bedroom while the others got rid of the guests. Draco was still frozen.

Narcissa smirked at her husband, "She'll die if she doesn't get help with the next hour. Then my son will marry Pansy and I'll still have a pure family." Draco fell to his knees and sobbed slightly. Lucius grabbed his wife's hand and pulled her off to the room where Hermione had been placed. Ron and Annora lifted up Draco and smiled slightly at each other. They sat him on the stares and left him to come to terms with what had happed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You bitch! All she wanted was to see him! I can't believe you call yourself a mother!" Hermione's parents had been contacted and the four parents were 'talking'. Severus was tending to Hermione and her friends were trying to keep Draco from her room and from killing himself.

Hermione's mother was being held back by Lucius and Chris Granger as Dumbledore walked into the room, "-How could you! That was my daughter! I hope you rot in hell for this! I really hope you do!" Dumbledore was now irritated.

"SILENCE!" they all looked at him, "Mrs. Granger please sit down. Lucius do you have Narcissa's wand?" Lucius nodded and showed him the wand that was ten inches holly with a core of Mermaid vain. Dumbledore nodded, "Very well then. Hermione is fine, she is alive. Much like Narcissa said, that was a spell used by Ebony White to kill the lovely Snow White. So… her awakening will be much the same. A kiss of true love." Narcissa let out a laugh.

"My spell is not so easy to brake! The one who kisses her must have been in love with her far before they ever said the words to each other. I'm not a fool Dumbledore. Ebony did well to teach the Black family her secrets." the other four adults grew pale. The doors on the other side of the room crashed open and Annora stood there, her eyes almost ruby red as she stormed toward her mother.

Her voice was cold and low, almost as if she was death, "How dare you. You awful, horrid, hag of a woman. You just took your son's heart and ran it through a blender! He loved her more then life!" Annora was now crying. She looked like an angel, " Draco's broken, mum. If that's what you where you trying for, YOU WIN! He hasn't move since Dumbledore told us she might be lost. His eyes are almost black their so dark and he's dead! Death would be heaven for him at the moment!" Annora stormed out and Blaise walked in. He held something in his hand.

He handed it to Lucius, "Draco almost Avada'd himself. I think it would be best to keep this from him. I don't think it wise to let me hold it though. If he broke down and started begging me… I might return it." Blaise stood there like a helpless child. He looked like a child whose pet or best friend had just died, "Is she ever gonna wake up, Uncle Lucius?" the older Malfoy shrugged and looked down at his silent wife.

"Do you see what you've done, Narcissa? Do see what's happening?" she let out a choked sob, "Damnit. I always thought you were to much like Andromeda to be like Bella. Why, Cissa? Why this one thing? It wasn't just another girl, Cissa. It was the girl. You could have killed him." Narcissa broke down into loud broken sobs. Lucius sighed and held her to his chest while she cried. All four parents just sat grieving.

"Mrs. Malfoy?" Jean Granger spoke, "Isn't there… there a anti curse for this?" Narcissa shook her head and started to cry into Lucius neck again. What have I done?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione lay on the black silk sheets like freshly fallen snow. She looked lovely and un-touchable. Draco dropped onto his knees beside the bed. Her hands rested on her stomach and she looked like Sleeping Beauty. He felt useless. She lay there, the vision of beauty, and all he could do was look at her. Snape sat on the other side messing with his wand. He kept muttering something in Latin that Draco hadn't heard.

As Draco watched, the tip of Snape's wand turned green then into a black. Snape looked at him, "She'll be fine, Draco." the younger man ran his hand through his silver blond hair. Snape stood up, "I'll leave you alone. If I know your mother, she'll be crying. She's not a bad person, Draco, just selfish. It is but human." Draco sighed and took Hermione's top hand. His thumb brushed her knuckles and his eyes watched hers. He wanted her to do was wake up.

"Come on, Granger. Hermione. Please, wake up. Please, Hermione." She stayed still, "What do I have to say to make you open your eyes? Please, lovely. Wake up." he rested his forehead on her hand like she was a queen. But for him, she was so much more then just a pretty face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draco stayed by her side all day and night. Eating for him had become a once a day thing and moving had become pointless. All he wanted was for her to wake up. Snape had warned against the whole kiss thing for fear of her memory being erased. It was best for her to just wake on her own. Blaise was sitting on the floor with a Quidditch magazine while Ginny sat in a chair playing with his hair. Draco felt wasted.

Blaise shook his head, "You can leave her side for more then a minute, mate. Let go out for a while. Being outside could do you some good. Besides, New Years is in a few days. You should be thinking about what you want to get Hermione. I'm sure she'd love something pretty and sparkly." Draco sighed and fallowed his friend out the door. He didn't want to be to far, just incase.

Draco could feel his connection to Hermione growing stronger. As the boy's pulled on their jackets Narcissa called out to them, "Boys?"

"Yes?"

"The School is calling all of the students back for as of tomorrow. So don't be back to late. Your going to floo to the school. When Hermione wakes up you'll be called back to here." Draco felt a pit in his stomach. He knew today was going to be his last with Hermione. For some reason, something didn't seem right.
