Recap:
Without a hesitation he dived right after her. Faster and faster, he finally go a good grip on Hermione's jacket, he held her tight against his chest.
"Dam it. GRANGER!" he shook her but got no respond, he hugged Hermione tighter.
They plunged into the cold deep water.
Chapter 2: The Right
Freezing cold water collide into their bodies, they sunk deeper into the thick winter waters.
"THIS GOT TO BE A NIGHTMARE!" Draco screamed in his head. "I GOT TO BE MENTAL!" He mentally wanted to slap himself but instead he focused on living and getting to surface. Instinctively as a swimmer, he recovered fast and he raised one of his hands upwards but only felt himself sink further along with Hermione.
"WHY DID I EVEN THINK OF BECOMING A AUROR! I HAVE TO SAVE PEOPLE! OH WAIT IT WAS YOUR FAULT YOU BLOODY BASTARD!" He spatted venomously at himself in his thoughts.
His cloak had grown heavy, his left arm numb in great bloody pain. Holding Hermione with one arm was putting pressure on him, pressing small needles of numbness in to his skin. The coldness of the water was seeping in to his body, and probably through Hermoine's too. The coldness mingled with his muscles, chilling him to bones.
"DAM! DAM IT GRANGER! THIS IS JUST BLOODY GREAT!" He panted in his thoughts. He closed his eyes, and thought of giving up but if he were to give up he would have to pay the consequence. The consequence of disgracing the Malfoy name, if he did, he would be mocked relentlessly through out the whole generation! Owning the name of dying "a idiot in shallow water"! He was annoyed at that thought and finally tried his best to use his swimming skills. He kicked his legs aggressively and tugged on Hermione. Kicking to return to the surface but only caused tearing pain in his cold and cramping legs. He opened his mouth to scream out loud but resulted of having liters of ice cold water slimming it's way down inside his body.
The coldness was finally trying to kill him. He was going to giving up but a burst of cold air rushing through his lungs.
Harry and Ron existed the room.
"HARRY! YOU BLOODY IDIOT!" Ron yelled after they were alone in the ministry elevators.
"WHAT!" Harry yelled back at Ron confused.
"WHY WOULD YOU SELL 'MIONE OUT LIKE THAT!" He pinched his nose, stress was wash over both of them. They both paced back and forth within the elevator, each footstep was growing hard. Slamming down to the floor, rattling the walls.
"CAUSE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING FOR HER! We can't do anything for her... We lost her. AND WE CAN'T LOSE HER AGAIN!" Harry slide a free hand into his face, closing his eyes in frustration. "WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR HER... She doesn't need us.." Harry pleaded. The needing was more than wanting, they needed her, even if she was... that.
A pregnant pause washed over them. Neither looked at each other but just stared in their own thoughts.
"But... Harry you know we could have..." Ron cried. Harry cut Ron off short "RON! *Sniff* WE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING! WE LOST HER. IT WAS ALL MY FAULT!" Harry pounded his hands on the walls, shaking the elevator violently. "I DID THAT TO HER!... I WAS SO POWERLESS!" He ran out of the elevator soon as it opened, leaving Ron alone. Thinking.
"Bloody hell..." Tears rolled down the freckles of his face, merging with the chin and falling to the cold ground. The elevator door slam shut.
Finally, at last Draco reached the surface in exhaustion and numbness in the cold. His chest ached, felt as if his lungs would burst. As he was panting and coughing up murky water, he dragged Hermione to the side bank of the lake. He broke down on right next to Hermione, who laid motionlessly on the ground. The minister's words repeated in Draco's head.
"Please assist her to come back safely." It was haunting him. His body grunted in pain as he laid his fingers on top of Hermione's neck, he waited. Nothing.
"This was suppose to happen! I-I... I just was... I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HER!"He pounded his fists on the ground.
"NAILED IT DRACO, KILLED AN PERSON!" His conscious said dripping with sarcasm. Waves of hatred flashed over Draco, he told himself that he hated them (The Golden Trio), he hated her, he hated himself!
Suddenly Hermione chest inhaled. Draco tensed up as he watch the "so called die person" breath. His eyes widen as he watched her cough and choke on water, he quickly approached her and propped her on his knee.
"Granger! You okay?" His silvery orbs whirled into Hermione glassy blurred eyes.
After coughing for a while and watching Draco muttering healing spells and drying spells. Hermione's eyes couldn't help but stare into the soft worried silver eyes, his eyes were stained with dry tears and dark circles. He must worried to death.
"I'm so..sorry Malfoy..." Hermione said while merely avoiding eye contact. She felt guilty, she almost killed someone. She didn't cared who it was, even Malfoy, she just didn't want anyone else to die for her. "You could have just let me die!" Tears seeped through her bangs and down her rose red cheeks. She laid tried and panting for air. Ice cold air was draining within her,slowly her chest kepted rosing and dropping, she laid helplessly against his chest.
"Why would I do that?" Draco questioned, brushing the tears away. His hands circled her face. Her jaw was more slender, very few freckles remain but that added a more... prefect.
"Because you hate me! YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO WANT ME KILLED... I'M A MUDBLOOD!..." Whimpers and sobs escaped from Hermione. Her body shook, the gasps and breathes were in pain.
"I don't hate you..." He stroked her head and cleared her bangs away from her eyes. Revealing beautiful dark hazel brown eyes that had dark bangs under her long lashes that wet from crying. Her eyes looked dim, full of sorrow.
*Draco*
Her eyes were familiar. Too familiar. They were... just like his. He frowned as Hermione abruptly flinched her head away from his direct look. Instinctively he gently held her chin and turn her head to get a closer look. She had no choice but look at me, her eyes searched into mine. Her eyes blurred as tears dripped down, she looked helpless. Hopeless.
She was just like him. She seen death, she seen people die, she was alone. Just like him.
No one was here for him, he seen death, he seen hundreds, millions of people die. All of sudden, a spark of purple appeared in Hermione's eyes. He frowned as the middle of her eyes turned a different color, it slowly merged out of the pupil and spreading out to the iris. It was purple. Her eyes are purple?
His thumb brushed her hairs back, which gave him a clearer look into her eyes.
"Is. This. What. I. Made. You. Become?"
She frowned back right at him. She could sensed that there was something wrong. In his eyes, she could see her eyes reflecting purple! She quickly slapped away his hand and got up. She stood there staring at his frozen posture.
"No no no NO!" She screamed. Uncontrollable tears started to fall again. She backed away from Draco and turned to sprint. Even though her legs were tired, she told herself she couldn't ever stop. She just couldn't stop, no matter how cold she was, no matter how tired, no matter how she would live. This was her fault. All her fault. She was broken. Suddenly out Of nowhere she was pinned to the tree with full force, knocking the air out of her windpipe. She gasped for air and clutched the strong arm around her shoulder.
"GRANGER! LOOK AT ME!" Draco yelled. Again, he roughly gripped her chin, which wasn't intentional. He lifted her jaw to angle so she would look at him. She shut her eyes closed. She wanted to shut everything around, all her sense. Her hearing, her sight, her taste, her senses to feel. Everything. CLOSE EVERYTHING DOWN! Like she didn't existed..
"JUST LOOKED AT ME!" It was getting tiring after painful tackles and runs. And more crying Hermione, it was heartbreaking.
"Please... Look at me? Please.. just please." He pleaded. He gently circled her rosy wet cheeks with his thumb. Those soft red skin were tainted by dry tears. He was also about to give up, what was he suppose to do? He couldn't do anything.
It was his pleased that encourage her to open her eyes. Once, she opened her eyes, she was staring right into Draco's eyes. It was frightening for her to see people being frightened by her... It was who she is. What she is.
"Just leave me... Leave me alone!" She screamed at the end. Her dark violent orbs swirled in tears, barely able to stay inside the sockets of her eyes. "ARE YOU HAPPY?" She cursed loudly. "ARE YOU HAPPY TO SEE? I'M A MONSTER!" her voice cracked into sobs, sorrowful of grief. Her sobs were almost endless, the pain was crystal clear. Draco couldn't imagine who did this to her, but they were. Beautiful.
Those eyes were beautiful to Draco, majestic dark purple. Calm. A new side of a person. Just beautiful. It was just like the eyes he dreamt of, the eyes he lusted for, the person he needed. His match.
He felt sorry for her, what she is, what she became.
"It's okay... It's okay Hermione." He casted a bewitched sleep spell on Hermione, her body fell lifelessly into Draco's arms. "It's okay. I'm here for you, and only you."
"You..." Hermione said in a dozy voice, her eyes closed tight, she fell into a sleep. Draco gripped tightly and hugged her to his body.
"Everything is alright..." The words echoed in her vision.
