Finally Over

By Stacey

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

'Snape said the charm is…what's wrong?' – Hermione

'The charm, it doesn't matter anymore…' – Draco

'Why, what happened?' – Hermione

'My father… he's been taken to Azkaban' - Draco

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

'Have you heard!?' - Colin

'Have I heard what Colin?' – Harry

'Lucius Malfoy's been sent to Azakaban' – Colin

'You don't think Dumbledore…?' – Ginny

'Wasn't Dumbledore, he was caught working with the Death Eaters.' - Colin

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

'Where is he?' – Blaise

'How should I know?' – Pansy

'Hitting a little close to home is it, maybe someone should do a little digging into your family's alliences' – Blaise

'Go to hell' – Pansy

'Not if you're going to be running it' - Blaise

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

'So it's really over then? No more worrying about him…'

'Guess not' - Draco

'I thought you'd be a little more pleased…' – Hermione

'Why, because my father's in Azkaban? I wanted him to leave us alone not be thrown in a prison of eternal torment and the truth about death eaters getting out, my mother getting to deal with the fall out, I guess that's just an added bonus…' – Draco

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

'This is a good thing right?' – Ginny

'What do you mean? Lucius in prison, how can that possibly be a bad thing'? – Harry

'I don't know, I just wonder how they're both taking it…' – Ginny

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

'Seems things worked themselves out' – Snape

'Yes. Strange how the authorites knew exactly where and when Mr. Malfoy would be implicated' – Dumbledore

'Seems to me it was about time they started doing their job properly' – Snape

'It seems so…' - Dumbledore

'Am I to assume you played no part in this?' – Snape

'I could ask the same of you' – Dumbledore

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

'You knew about the death eaters?' – Hermione

'Sure' – Draco

'Yet you didn't try to do anything about it…' – Hermione

'What could I have possibly done?' – Draco

'I don't know, tried to stop it?' – Hermione

'You really are naive aren't you? Fight the good fight and all that… Sometimes life's not that simple' – Draco

'We weren't that simple but you still tried' – Hermione

'Yeah I did…' – Draco

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

'Seen Malfoy?' – Blaise

'No. I take it you heard?' – Harry

'Hasn't everybody?' – Blaise

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

'Hermione, what happened? What's wrong' – Ginny

'I think it's over' – Hermione

'What? Why?' – Ginny

'He knew…about the death eaters. He knew and he didn't do anything'

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

'I've been looking everywhewre for you?' – Blaise

'Been trying to keep a low profile' – Draco

'I'm sorry about what happened' – Blaise

'You'd be the only one' – Draco

'It's not as easy for them they don't understand' – Blaise

'She could have tried' – Draco

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

'What was he going to do? Bust one of his father's meetings and say don't kill people, bad death eaters, bad!' - Ginny

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

'Cut her some slack man, she's not like us' – Blaise

'Well maybe we're just too different' – Draco

'Okay where's the real Draco and what have you done with him?' – Blaise

'What do you mean?' – Draco

'Not one week ago you were head over heals for this girl now you're saying you're too different. What are you scared of?' – Blaise

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

'I just… he could have told me' – Hermione

'That's what this is about? You're upset he didn't tell you?' – Ginny

'No I'm upset because I don't know what else he hasn't told me. There's this whole part of his life that he's hiding from me' – Hermione

'Maybe he's hiding it for good reason' – Ginny

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

'It's like my father was this safety net and if we didn't work out it was because of him. Now if something's going to happen it's going to be because of us, because we're too different or she doesn't agree with my descions…' – Draco

'Isn't that what it was like in the beginning?' – Blaise

'What's your point?' – Draco

'My point is you were happy then, before all this crap started with your father'

– Blaise

'I guess I'd forgotten' – Draco

'Well it's about time you remembered' – Blaise.

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

'You talked to Hermione?' – Harry

'Yeah' – Ginny

'Things all good in paradise?' – Harry

'Not exactly' – Ginny

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

'You seem unexpectedly somber' – Harry

'Ginny told you?' – Hermione

'Yeah' – Harry

'I just don't know what to do' – Hermione

'I don't know either but I do know he used to make you happy' - Harry

'It's complicated' – Hermione

'So uncomplicate it' – Harry

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

'We need to talk…' – Hermione

'Don't. Don't say anything just listen…' – Draco

'…For me to listen you're actually going to have to say something' - Hermione

'Right. I know we need to talk but… for the moment, do you think can we just be us again?' - Draco

'I think i'd like that' – Hermione

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

'I'm glad we worked through those issues' – Hermione

'That wasn't quite what I had in mind when I said we needed to talk' – Draco

'No, but it was nice' – Hermione

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

'You think they're gonna be okay?' – Ginny

'There was a time when I would've said no, I mean Hermione and Malfoy? I'm stating to think that maybe I got the world wrong' – Harry

'It certainly wasn't expected' – Ginny

'You think? Ron's wand is more predictable' – Harry

'Okay so definitely not expected but maybe not so doomed after all…' – Ginny

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

'I wonder where we'll be ten years from now?' – Hermione

'I don't know but I think I'll just be happy to get over the last six months' – Draco

'It's certainly been one hell of a ride…' – Hermione

'Well you better hold on, cause I'm not letting you get off just yet...' – Draco
