In the darkness she could only listen to the words and the actions of her foe. Against her savior he stood little chance and within three seconds he was gone.
With two cries of triumph he was bracing her shoulders in his hands. In three seconds the candle was lit and with it all darkness disappeared.
She took in his eyes, his face and his hair, seeing the devastation of the war throughout. She swallowed thickly and leaned against him, completely thankful of that moment.
"Granger," he muttered in a strangled tone and although it was only one word it meant the world.
She grasped his face within trembling hands and with scarred lips she kissed him.
Within that moment she gave him her life, no matter their past and their differences.
"Thank you Malfoy," she said so quietly, her voice strained with fatigue and distress.
"I love you," he muttered so quietly it was barely heard but through the silence it was like a scream.
It was then that her savior wrapped her in his arms and with her savior she was free.
