Chapter 22:
Draco's Decision
"I asked a question!" Snape demanded angrily.
"Its not what it looks like," Hermione offered quickly.
"I think it is what it looks like Miss Granger," Snape sneered.
Hermione felt like a teenager back at Hogwarts, getting caught making out with someone after curfew. She blushed.
"How can the two of you be so stupid?" Snape demanded.
Draco stood up, "We're not stupid."
Snape glared at him, "I think you are. You're a death eater, she's an auror."
"It doesn't matter," Draco replied.
Hermione watched the two men glare at each other.
Then after a while Draco spoke, "I'm very good at occlumency, but you can keep trying to enter my mind if you want to tire yourself."
Snape snarled, "We're leaving now."
"I don't want to leave," Draco said angrily.
"We are leaving now," Snape's voice was deadly as if asking Draco, daring him to challenge him.
Draco turned to Hermione, "I'll see you later."
Hermione nodded, confused at what was happening. He kissed her lightly before both him and Snape apparated leaving Hermione on the sofa.
Oh no, Snape knows, what if he tells Harry? What am I going to do? Hermione was panicking when the lights came back on.

Snape and Draco apparated to Malfoy Manor. Snape just watched as his Godson headed to the kitchen, grabbed two glasses poured them both a drink. Draco drank his fast as he prepared for Snape.
"Well say what you want to say," Draco said waiting for the lecture.
"When did it start?" Snape asked calmly, sitting down.
Draco raised his eyebrow, this was his Godfather. He had always been honest with him, no matter what had happened in his life. With a sigh, Draco sat down and spoke calmly, "Muggle club, a few months back. I saw her, we were behind masks. A muggle thing. Anyway I was attracted to her."
Snape waited for more.
"Then I kidnapped her by accident. I spent time with her, she's so much like me. I liked everything she did, the little things as well – dozing off in the library, spending hours by the fountain, it was cute. I didn't know what the feeling was. Then I got hurt, she nursed me. She was there for me, every step of the way, she held my hand when I needed it. It was so perfect and I kissed her. Then you came in with your great escape plan."
"Then what happened?"
"She came to me for a book to help Potter, I gave it to her. That muggle pub, when half of my men died, it was that night that I will never forget. I went to her place, well she apparated me there first and then we left and I dunno why but I went back in the evening and…" Draco was silent.
"What happened?" Snape asked fearing the answer.
Draco didn't answer.
"You told her the truth," Snape said softly.
"She wouldn't…she needed the truth or she'd hate me…she was fighting her feelings," Draco argued.
"You told her everything?" Snape asked.
"I could not let her believe I was pure evil!"
"You don't get what you've done have you?"
"I know what I've done," Draco stood up.
"If Voldermort finds out the truth," Snape stood too, Draco's back was to him. "He will kill you, he'll kill your mother, he'll kill Gran…"
"I won't let him kill my mother or Hermione," Draco persisted.
"You won't have a choice!"
"Yes I will," Draco turned around. "I will not let them die."
Snape raised his eyebrow, "You're in love with Granger?"
Draco turned back to the fire and watched the flames, "I've never felt this way. I can't live without her. She's all I think about. All this – this mess with Voldermort, she's the only light I have in my life."
"You've really fallen for her," Snape said in a low voice.
Draco nodded.
After a few minutes silence Snape spoke again, "I fell in love with a muggleborn witch in my Hogwarts days."
Draco looked at him, shocked.
"Lily Evans," Snape said.
"Potter's mum!" Draco nearly shouted.
"Yea," Snape sighed, "I told her how I felt once, she only wanted us to be friends. I loved her. When I became a death eater we had a huge fight, she wouldn't ever talk to me again."
Draco nodded.
"Voldermort knew how I felt," Snape said.
"What did he do?"
"He told me that he won't kill her. He'll kill Potter and Harry but not her."
"But…"
"He did kill Lily, he said it was an accident and she got in the way. She probably did but he would have killed her anyway, even if he did kill Harry," Snape sighed. "Voldermort hates muggleborns, he hates his top death eaters distracted, he hates happiness."
"Are you saying…"
"What ever you do, he will kill her no matter what. Even though she's Potter's friend, if she's your lover or what ever he will torture her!"
"There must be a way out!"
"No way out. You can't even marry her to save her," Snape said reading Draco's mind. "He will kill her and claim it to be an accident."
"I…I can't lose her," Draco whispered weakly.
Snape felt sorry for his Godson but this would save him so much more pain, he knew Voldermort would find out, he would kill her. "Draco…"
"I LOVE HER! IT HURTS THINKING ABOUT THIS! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER!"
"Draco," Snape said again.
"NO! I CAN'T LOSE HER!" Draco shouted. He fell to the ground on his knees. He knew he had no choice. This was it.
"I'm sorry but…" Snape started.
"You can leave," Draco whispered.
"What?"
"You can leave," Draco repeated. "Just go."
Snape sighed, "If you need me…" He left with a pop.
Draco grabbed his glass and threw it against the wall. I have to end it to save her life…I can't. I have no choice. If she dies – Snape's right, he will kill her, how can I live with that?

Hermione had not stopped pacing her house. She went upstairs, then downstairs, she walked around every single room, trying to calm herself. She wanted to hear from Snape, she wanted to hear from Draco. She had no idea what was going on, she was scared. Her heart was aching, literally. She knew something was wrong, Draco was in pain. It sounded weird but their love was so strong, she felt his emotions and that scared her. She feared she was too dependant on him – no not dependant, too attached. If something went wrong, what would she do?
She was in the kitchen when she heard the pop. She ran to the living room. Draco was there looking like death.
"Draco," she whispered stepping closer to him.
He stepped back causing Hermione to stop.
"What's wrong?" she asked him, her heart racing, fearing the worst.
"Its over," he said coldly. It was killing him. His heart was breaking as he saw Hermione's facial expression change.
She looked hurt, and confused, "What's over?" she knew the answer but she didn't want to hear it.
"Us," he replied, avoiding her eyes, trying to look bored.
Hermione fought the tears, "Because of Snape? If it is we can…"
"Its nothing to so with him!"
"Then? Draco you said you loved me," Hermione argued.
"You don't get it do you?" Draco sounded angry. "We were only together for one thing. That's all I wanted from you!"
"No…no!" Hermione repeated.
"Yes Granger, you weren't like the other girls, you were a chase, but the moment you gave in I got bored!"
"You're lying to me!" Hermione screamed.
"Believe what you want," Draco said. "Don't bother apparating to my Manor; you won't get through the spells anymore."
"No! You told me all about your mother, the reason why you became a death…"
"I lied. I made it all up. My mother is in hospital but I exaggerated everything. To get you into bed."
Hermione's world collapsed. This was not happening.
"See you in the war Granger," Draco smirked before leaving.
Hermione fell to the floor. Her heart was broken.
A/N: Due to popular demand I have updated a day early! Keep the reviews coming to see what happens.
I originally planned Ginny to catch them and keep their secret but then that happens in every fic! So I thought I'd let Snape be the one to catch them, hope you liked it!
