Chapter 20: Marry Me Mione'
No one likes the smell of a hospital. No one likes the eerie the atmosphere in a hospital. Overall being in a hospital is not very nice.
Hermione sniffed the air. It reeked of that fresh, sterile clean hospital smell. She walked around the plain white room and she felt that eerie atmosphere.
She sat in the comfy St. Mungo's chair. She stared around her. Draco lay in his bed. His eyes were closed and he seemed peaceful.
The gash in his head had cleared away and his broken bones were healed. But he was still unconscious. Draco's eyes fluttered.
They half opened but widened when they saw Hermione. He smiled weakly at her. He lifted up his hand and she sat next to him.
They embraced each other. The stiff, white bed sheets crumpled at the slight movement. Hermione pulled backand looked into Draco's eyes.
She saw hurt and pain in those eyes. She smiled at him and he returned it.
"Hermione. I love you," he managed to rasp.
"I love you too," said Hermione, "I'll be right back. I have to go get some food."
Hermione stood up and walked out of the room. She ran and sat in a chair in the foyer. She put her face in her hands.
What am I going to do? I'm betrothed and he said he loves me. I love him too but maybe…maybe…maybe I should end it?
Hermione sat there for a while. Everyone had gone home. The hospital lights were dimmed.
After the war had finished the injured had been transported to St. Mungo's.
That was over a month ago. Everyone was out of hospital except Draco. Which is weird because there were people in worse conditions.
The Mediwizards and witches couldn't understand it but Hermione knew he wasn't hurt physically, it was way deeper than that.
Draco had killed his own father to save her. His family, friends, house had shunned him and it was all her fault. But he still loved her.
She would have to tell him about her being betrothed to Michael. She walked slowly back into the white room.
That clean smell came rushing back straight up Hermione's nose and she nearly choked. She sat next to Draco's bed.
"Hermione! You're finally back. How long does it take to get food in this place?" laughed Draco weakly. Hermione smiled back. It wasn't a very convincingly real smile.
"Hermione. The war. I realise now that anything could happen to us. So I know it seems we're moving to fast but I think this is the right time," Draco started. Hermione's heart froze.
No not this. Anything but this.
"Will you marry me?" asked Draco. Hermione's head nearly exploded. A tear fell down her face.
"I'm sorry Draco…but I can't," said Hermione weakly. Draco looked stunned. His eyes suddenly filled with anger and hurt.
"But I killed my own father for you," said Draco, "I thought you loved me."
Hermione's heart felt like a fist was squeezing it harder and harder after every word Draco said.
"No Draco it's not that. You don't understand. When I was young I had a muggle friend called Michael. We were really good friends. Well my parents and his parents made a deal that him and me would be betrothed when we both turn 18," said Hermione whose face was glistening with tears.
"Do you get any say in it? So you don't want to be with him?" asked Draco. He still couldn't believe this was happening!
"No I don't Draco you have to be believe me I love you! But I can't marry you while I'm promised to Michael!" said Hermione.
Draco sat there in silence. He was thinking hard.
"Lets run away," he said.
"What?" asked Hermione, still registering what he'd said.
"Lets run away! Away from your parents away from the memory's away from everything!" said Draco excitedly.
"Draco I can't run away. I couldn't leave all my friends. And I would miss my family. Sure they ruined my life but I still love them. And where would we go?"
"I guess your right. Then what will we do? I can't live without you! There is noway I'm going to let you go just cause your parents want you to marry some other guy," said Draco forcefully, "We're just going to have to try and reason with your parents."
Hermione nodded. She knew it was going to be hard to convince her parents to let her marry Draco but she had to try. He was the love of her life and she wasn't going to give up.
A/N Yes I know it's a short chapter. I was kind of hoping it would be longer too, seeing as it was the 20th chapter. Also sorry if it has spelling mistakes I didn't go through it because I just wanted the chapter up as quickly as possible. But anyway thanks again for reviewing throughout the story. I owe you guys so much. And now I just need you to review again! Have fun! Bye!
