"So is everything going as planned," he nodded "Very well and your situation with the Mud blood?"

"She's starting to trust me I guess…"

"Well I don't want you to guess! I want you to KNOW she bloody trusts you!"

"Why is it so important for her to trust me," he thought "Is there something I need to know about me and her?"

"No not at all I have told you everything you needed to know about your life."

"Why are you acting as if you programmed me or something," he was getting irritated.

"Listen this is what I want you to do I want you to bring the group to the graveyard. Harry Potter will die tonight."

"That's what you think. He always out does us somehow," he concluded.

"Why don't you just go back up to the castle and do what you're told."

"Stay out of this Flint JUNIOR," he seethed "This is between our Lord and I."

"Go back to the castle and just make sure EVERYTHING goes as planned," he threw one last glance at the boy and apparated on the spot. The boy grunted and did what he was told and returned to the castle.

Hermione sat in the common room it's been about a couple of weeks since Draco returned and she hasn't yet even tried to touch him after that little incident with her running her hands through his hair. They were on talking terms, which was alright; he still called her names and teased her in the halls. Every Slytherin was glad to have this Draco back, their original leader. Draco on the other hand kept thinking about the little joke Hermione had said out by the lake. About him and her being a couple until he had drank some potion. For some reason the thought just kept coming into his head. He strolled outside onto the Quidditch field and was about to push off until he saw Blaise and decided to walk towards him, but stopped short as a red headed girl jumped up into his open arms. 'What is going on,' he decided he would get to the bottom of this.

"Blaise, stop I swear," Ginny laughed as he tickled her again.

"Say it," he laughed as he continued.

"Never!"

"Fine," he let go of her and started to walk away and froze in his tracks as he noticed Malfoy getting closer he was about to stop Ginny, but it was too late once Draco was next to Blaise she decided to say it.

"I love you Blaise Zabini forever and ever!" she spun around with the biggest grin on her face, but was replaced by the most embarrassed face ever. Draco smirked at this and Blaise was about to say something, but Draco got to her first.

"Pity you have to waste such a strong word on a Slytherin boy who can get so much better then you."

"Malfoy," Ginny seethed she did not like where this was going. In the distance Pansy pulled Ron and Harry over and pointed in their direction and started sprinting over. Hermione was entering the grounds, but looked over by the lake 'No Draco,' she sighed, but the movement of the trio caught her eye and decided to head that direction. When the quad arrived Draco was on the ground underneath Blaise, fighting with one another while Ginny stood by watching.

"I tried to stop them!"

"Ginny what happened," Harry launched for Draco trying to pull them apart.

"Malfoy insulted me and Blaise tried to refrain from hitting him and he was doing a good job. Until he said I was almost as low as a….a….Mud blood," she trailed off. Pansy and Hermione came over and comforted her. Ron who was holding Blaise back let him go and they both launched at Draco. Harry fell back with Draco on top and couldn't move for they were laying hits on the person on top of him.

"Stop it Ron," Pansy ran over and tried to pull Ron off. Ginny did the same with Blaise. Draco got and looked down at Harry who was getting helped up by Hermione.

"What is wrong with everyone?" He stormed off, but Ron and Blaise tried to reach for him but were pulled back by their girls.

"What a day," Pansy laughed "This I find pretty funny," everyone looked at one another and laughed, it was weird fighting with a Draco who had no clue he was actually on their side now. Hermione watched Draco walk away, but noticed Daphne Greengrass come up to him as he put an arm around her waist while she ran her hand over his face trying to get the dirt off. Everyone looked at what she was looking at.

"Yeah they've been 'talking'," Pansy spoke.

"I don't care," Hermione looked away "He doesn't even know about us."

She walked back up the castle walking right past Malfoy and Greengrass, but she didn't notice the look Draco gave her.

"Draco how about we go out to dinner or do something tonight," she pushed her body up against him.

"Actually," he pushed her off "I have someone else to attend too," he started off towards Hermione and caught her before she reached the door.

"Hey."

"Hey," she was shocked "Draco…"

"Let's go do something," he still had her hand in his "Follow me."

"Why would I want to go with you," but he didn't hear she was just getting dragged long.

Draco led her back to the pitch making sure not to say anything smart to the group who was still at the pitch. Harry and Ron gave Hermione thumbs up signs and she just shook her head. Draco walked right over to his broom and mounted it patted the spot behind him.

"Come on Granger," she looked at him "Hermione, please ride with me."

"No I hate flying," she turned and started to walk off.

"I thought you trusted me," she froze was this HER Draco talking "Come on I won't let anything happen to you."

"Fine Malfoy I'll Fly with you on one condition!"

"And that would be…"

She hesitated, but said it in one breath "You have to kiss me at the end," he stood there jaw dropped and eyes out.

"Are you serious? No way!" he started to kick off, but then remember what his Master had said to him he needed Granger to trust him "Fine," he motioned to the spot behind him and she climbed on right has he kicked off making her grab onto him a little too hard.

"Sorry," she yelled in his ear.

"It's fine, but does this mean you trust me?" he smirked.

"Draco I've always trusted you," she smiled into his shoulder as she laid her head on him.

He wiped the smirked off his face and smiled. Why was she acting like she was in love with him. Inside he wanted to hurry up and land so he could kiss her, but in his mind he felt disgusted.

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Master the plans are ready for tonight; everyone will be ready for their arrival," Pettigrew clapped his hands excitedly.

"Stop acting like a little girl," Samantha laughed "But then again little Pettigrew does dress like one," Zach snorted at this. Voldemort smirked at his daughters comment.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

"Wow that was some ride!"

He watched her spin around with her eyes closed head up towards the sky. He then noticed how beautiful she looked. He loved how fun she could be and daring. 'What is wrong with me? Granger daring and fun,' he shook his head. She stopped spinning and faced him.

"So where's my kiss," she pouted. Right now she felt like she had her Draco back and hoped nothing would ruin this feeling.

"Oh about that kiss," he cleared his throat "Is it going to be a peck or…a…a-"

"Peck geez I'm not going to ruin you," she rolled her eyes.

He put his arms around her waist to bring her closer to him. He moved a piece of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. "Ready?" he smirked and she smiled and closed her eyes. He leaned forward and kissed her gently, but when he decided to pull away he found himself glued to her lips. He wanted more and kissed her deeper, she moaned a little letting her lips part and Draco's tongue enter sensually. She allowed herself to think of the past and how much they were in love and that's what Draco felt in that kiss, love. 'Draco. Draco. Draco.' he pulled away and looked into her brown eyes seeing the stars in them and kissed her again 'Draco the plan Draco. It's night now. Draco…' He pulled apart and mentally slapped himself 'She's a mud blood!' he kept his cool and now acted like his 'Old self' after taking tips from what his Lord had to him to do. 'Okay hold her hand,' he reached down and took her hand in his 'Check. Now find the others. Check.' He glanced up and noticed five heads bobbing towards them with the biggest smiles on their faces. He put on his fake smile as well.

"Hermione," Pansy squealed "Draco! It's nice to have you back."

"Yeah sure is," he was confused, but kept it up "I have some place to take Hermione, but I decided to turn it into a group thing."

Blaise looked over at Ron and Harry while the girls were around Draco.

"Do you think he's up to something?" Harry asked.

"No we should be glad he's back and now I have a feeling he's going to take us to dinner," Ron's stomach roared as he joined the girls.

"I'm with you Harry this just seems a little out of place," he caught Draco's eye and noticed his evil glint "Where ever he takes us we've got to be prepared."

"I agree. Wand," Harry asked and Blaise showed his "Alright and I know Ron has his. Let's go."

They joined the rest of them. Draco led them towards Hogsmeade, but stopped as they reached the barrier. Lying on the floor was a mug and everyone eyed it.

"Portkey?"

"Yes Ginny, You are the smart one," Draco tapped her on the nose and instructed everyone to grab onto it, but Blaise and Harry did not.

"Draco where exactly are you taking us?"

"Don't worry about it Blaise," he smirked "Just grab a hold."

"Everyone let go! This doesn't feel right," yelled Harry everyone was about to let go but Draco grabbed Harry and Blaise's hand and set them on the mug. Everyone felt the tugging sensation happening at their centers and collapsed once they hit solid ground. Harry and Blaise recoiled off the ground and pulled out their wands. Hermione backed into Draco and he held her into his arms.

"Draco I'm scared," she breathed "This is a graveyard."

"Draco what are you playing at!" Pansy screamed.

"I know, where's the buffet?" Ron asked.

"Ronald stop being so daft! He brought us to a damn grave yard!" Ginny was angry, she pulled out her wand eyeing the place. There were tombstone and coffins around them, but they happened to be in the clearing. Harry and Blaise pointed their wands at Draco now.

"Harry!" she looked over at Blaise "Put your wands down!"

"Hermione get away from him!"

Draco started to laugh "What Potter afraid?"

"Draco tell them you're good and that you love me," she put her arms around him, but he pushed her away, too strong, which caused her to fall on the ground.

"In love with you Mud blood. Never," he mocked.

Harry and Blaise ran up and jabbed their wands into his throat as he kept laughing "What are you going to do kill me?"

"No," Blaise looked over at Harry "What are we going to do."

Harry was about to answer, but found himself grabbing at his scar letting his wand fall to the ground. Ginny came into his place and jabbed her wand at Draco. Pansy was tending to Hermione who was shocked and hurt.

"Draco how could you?" she sobbed "I thought you had your memory back!"

"Memory?" he stopped laughing and looked at her, but then re focused on the person coming up behind her.

"Bravo, Bravo," Voldemort clapped "Expelliarmus!" Everyone's wands flew from their grasps "I must say Draco you are becoming quit the heir," he laughed. Every one of his Death Eaters was coming out from behind the coffins and tomb stones. Samantha had a skull in her hand and threw it at Pansy, who sneered at her as she missed.

"Father I want Parkinson to be mine."

"Parkinson?" he looked at the girl "You out of everyone chose to be friends with them! I am so ashamed," he moved out of the way and let her parents view her.

"Pansy," her Mother croaked.

"Lord I beg you not to have your daughter have her. I'll deal with her when we get home," Her Father trying to sound tough.

"No I think I will now," Sam pulled out her wand "Crucio!"

Pansy screamed in pain as she fell to the ground Ron ran over and tried his best to protect and shield her from the curse.

Draco on the other hand stood next to the Dark Lord and watched on. Harry was on the ground trying to get to Pansy and Ron. Blaise was crouched next to Ginny who seemed to be wishing this was just a dream. Hermione was staring back at him 'What?' he kept staring at her looking at the hurt and betrayal in her eyes.

"Draco fetch me the Mud Blood," he walked over and grabbed her arm and held her tight "Now Draco I want you to put her over there by Potter," he did as told.

"Now Harry Potter are you ready to die tonight?"

"Never," Harry launched himself at Voldemort and knocked his wand out of his hands. Harry tired to grab it, but failed as Pettigrew retrieved it and handed it back to its rightful owner. He looked at the group pathetically "Any last words before I kill every one of you?"

The Death Eaters hushed as Hermione stood up and swallowed "You're going to have to kill us first before you even touched Harry," Blaise stood up and so did Ron.

"Ah Zabini, I knew you were always the weak on when it came to light and Dark."

"Well that's because the light will always win!"

"You can't touch Harry!" Ron stepped forward.

"Well of course I'm going to kill you first, but wait" he looked over at Draco "Why don't we start things off with a bang. Draco I want you to Crucio Ms. Granger here."

Draco took out his wand and pointed it at Hermione, but Ginny stepped in front of her "Ginny stop if Draco wants to curse me he can," she pushed her to the side "After all this ring doesn't mean shit now," she took the ring off her finger and threw it at him. Draco smirked and sent the curse flying at her. She whipped out her wand and sent the spell flying towards him, but it just knocked him to the ground.

"You have to mean it Granger!" he yelled.

"I can't hurt you," she sobbed "I'm still in love with you Draco Malfoy and I'm so sorry for throwing your promise ring somewhere," she collapsed to her knees and started looking for it. Draco was speechless, she loved him. When? He then remembered the remark she made by the lake, it was true wasn't it. Voldemort laughed as he pointed his wand at Hermione. Harry who was behind him now was searching around for his wand everyone was so concentrated on the couple so he had decided to look for it. Just as he found it he stood up and yelled the killing curse.

"I guess I'll be the one to start thing off with a bang. AVADA KEDAVRA!" the spell shot out at Hermione who closed her eyes. At that same moment Harry's curse hit Voldemort square in the back, he had time to turn around and see his killer.

"I guess it is you Tom who will be dying tonight," Harry said as the Dark Lord fell dead onto the ground. Just as he hit the ground all his Death Eaters and daughter apparated leaving the group shocked. Harry smiled at Ginny and Pansy who were with Blaise and Ron, but then everyone heard Hermione's cries as they turned to her, she held Draco in her arms.

"Draco! Please come back!" she sobbed. Harry kneeled next to her and pulled her into him.

"Shhhh! Hermione's it's going to be okay…" she sobbed harder "He's in a better place."
