Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. My mind is just too simple to come up with something so amazing. Good thing we have JKR!
A/N: Thank you for reviewing!

--- "Talk about what?" Hermione instantly frowned at Draco's Tone of voice. She'd heard things like this in the movie's before. It always ends with some stupid girl crying her eyes out over some stupid boy who broke her heart. Only it wasn't so stupid and this stupid boy very well could break her heart.
"About us." Draco managed to choke out through the growing limp in his throat. Hermione tried to think positive but found it hard to when every bad scenario possible was running through her mind at one hundred miles per hour.
"What about us?" She asked with guarded eyes. Draco tried not to think about the way her lips turned down at the corners of her mouth showing that she was nervous.
"I-I can't see you anymore." Draco said in the most stable voice he could, when really on the inside his heart was shattering with every word he said. Hermione's eyes widened in shock as tears built up and threatened to spill out at any moment.
"B-but why? I don't u-understand." Her voice came out broken and sad. Draco bit back the urge to hold her close and never let her go as she stood in front of him vulnerable and small. Just get it over with. Draco tried to urge himself on but failed miserably when he just stood there trying to think of the best thing to say to get her away from him as soon as possible.
"I just don't think it's the best thing to do." Draco snapped making Hermione shrink away from him. Draco kept his cold gaze looking at Hermione with no emotions at all.
"But I thought you loved me?" Hermione looked at him with tears in her eyes making Draco want to weep himself. When Draco said nothing Hermione tried with desperation to wrap her small hand around Draco's large hand. Draco pulled out of her grasp as if she had burned him with her touch. "What's the matter?!" Hermione screamed getting angry now.
"What's the matter? You're the matter!" Draco sneered with a scowl hoping this would make Hermione finally go away. He wasn't sure how much more of this he could take.
"You're being ridiculous! This isn't making sense Draco! I'm not just going to take 'I just don't think it's the best thing to do'. Tell me why Draco. I love you! Or did you forget?" Hermione said trying to make sense of the situation. Draco sighed deeply with frustration. It was obvious that Hermione wasn't going to give up so he did the one thing he knew would make her hurt. The one thing he knew would make her hate him. The one thing she'd never forgive him for.
"No you're being ridiculous. Don't you get it? I don't want you anymore. You're still the dame mudblood I've known since first year!" Draco choked out and instantly felt like dying. He raised his chin in defiance and put on that same smirk he used so many times before. Hermione stumbled backwards as if he had hit her and looked at him with wide disbelieving eyes. Heavy tears began to run down her cheeks just like Draco knew would happen. Even though Draco was prepared for this it still felt like three tons were being pounded down on his chest. When Hermione's retreating back was out of view Draco calmly closed his door, put up the best silencing charm he could. Fell to his knees and wept until he was sobbing so uncontrollably he was dry heaving on his bedroom floor.
You should hate me.

--- Hermione ran as fast as she could through the halls of Hogwarts and caught the eye of Ginny who was just heading back up the stairs.
"Hermione!" Ginny yelled out to her as Hermione ran past her with tears streaming down her pale face. When Hermione didn't stop Ginny fled after her. "Hermione just stop!" Ginny tried to reason with Hermione as she finally caught up to her and grabbed her by the arm. Without warning Hermione spun around and buried her face into Ginny's welcoming arms.
"Oh Gin's I feel so stupid. He used me from the very beginning! I-I put myself out there for him and he spit me out just like I knew he would!" Hermione sobbed into Ginny's chest making it hard for her to understand the muffles coming from Hermione.
"Hermione just tell me what happened." Ginny cooed in her ear while she rubbed her back soothingly. Hermione lost control and slumped to the ground bringing Ginny with her.
"He told me that he didn't want me anymore then he called me a m-m-mudblood." Hermione began to cry harder as the events replayed in her head, eating at her like a disease. Ginny couldn't help the surprised gasp that escaped her lips and clung on to Hermione harder trying to consume her pain.
"It's going to be okay 'mione. You're too good for him anyways. If he honestly is stupid enough to give you up then he's not worth your time!" Ginny said angrily. Even though Hermione tried to believe what Ginny said she didn't. Draco was good enough for her. He challenged her mentally, gave her what she wanted physically, provided her with emotional care, and above all loved her for her. But it was over now and all Hermione had were the memories of a good time and a heart ache that felt like it'd never heal.
--
---Draco laid alone in his tantalizingly empty bed for the third time that week. It had been that long since he was forced to tell Hermione it was over. He hadn't seen her in the great hall, she wasn't attending classes, Ginny wouldn't speak to him to let him know she was alright.
"Please, Ginny I just want to know how she is." Draco pleaded as the last shred of dignity was taken from him. Never in his short life would he have thought he would be begging from a Weasley.
"If you were really so concerned for her then you wouldn't have broken up with her." Was Ginny's cold reply. Draco couldn't argue with that either. He deserved everything that was coming towards him. And without Hermione there by his side he was beginning to question his purpose in life. What was life to him now? What was life without his lover to help him sleep at night, what was life without her familiar sweet smile that kept him going, what was life without her silky thighs wrapped around his waist? It was nothing. Life nothing to him without Hermione Jane Granger by his side and he'd never know the touch of her again. The mere thought made him want to obliviate himself. And the feeling was nothing short of pure anguish. A feeling Draco was becoming all to familiar with.

--- "It's been three days now…Don't you think you should start to move one. Since you were the one to break it off with her in the first place?" Blaise asked painfully oblivious to the reason why Draco broke up with her.
"Blaise for once in your life why don't you mind your own business?" Draco snipped more harshly then he meant to. Blaise gave him a glare before walking to the door.
"If it means anything at all…you're not the first person the dark lord had forced apart from their lover." Blaise said with his never ending wisdom. How is it that he always knows what's going on in my life? Draco thought with a smirk. Blaise was one of a kind.

---It had been One week two days 17minutes and something seconds since Draco Malfoy had broken up with Hermione. But who was counting? Since then her hearts been in constant pain and thoughts of death plagued her everyday life. IT wasn't normal for Hermione to skip school or miss meals but since Draco had said those awful things to her she hadn't been the same. She was staying up at all hours thinking about what went wrong in their short relationship, the very thought of eating made Hermione's jaw clench, and the unbarring pain that it brought to see Malfoy made Hermione physically sick. So her home for the past week had been her bed and dorm. The only time she left was to use the restroom's and when Ginny forced her down the kitchen's after hours. This was one of those days. Hermione was on her way down to the kitchen when she saw a particular blond. She stopped dead in her tracks like a deer caught in head lights then dodged behind a large pillar to spy on the scene before her. As Hermione poked her head out from behind the pole her heart instantly went spiraling into unforgiving pain. There he was. Draco Malfoy, man of her dreams, great sex partner, love of her life, and not to mention the closest thing to perfection on this earth. And he was walking with none other than Pansy Parkinson. Her arms were wrapped tightly around his neck as she kissed his jaw down to his chest, past his stomach to the brim of his pants. Hermione wrapped her hand around her mouth in fear of vomiting. She couldn't watch this any longer but her feet wouldn't bring her away from the god awful scene.
--
---Draco walked with Pansy intent on shagging her senseless in a pitiful attempt to forget about Hermione. He had to admit the thought of being with Pansy and not Hermione was enough to make him sick. Something's gotta give. Me and Hermione are over. Done. Never again. Move on and fuck pansy. Draco's mind tried to tell him but he really wasn't into it. Pansy must have picked up on this for she started kissing his jaw down his chest passed his stomach to the rim of his pants. Draco closed his eyes and leaned his head back envisioning Hermione as Pansy teased the front of his pants. It was when Pansy stopped fiddling with his pants did Draco chance a look at her. That was the worst thing he could have ever done. As soon as his silver eyes came into contact with her dull black ones instead of Hermione's honey brown ones his heart sunk and his temporary high was over. He yanked Pansy up by the arms intending on telling her to go away but she leaned in and whispered in his ear.
"Am I better then the mudblood?" Draco tensed and froze. Not a second went by when Draco grabbed Pansy by the shoulder's and gave her a harsh shove making her tumble backwards until she landed rather ungracefully with a nasty thud.
"What was that all about?!" Pansy demanded from her new state, a good three feet away from Draco on the ground.
"What did you just call her?" Draco growled as he advanced on Pansy making her stand up in fear of what he was going to do.
"I called her a mudblood?" Pansy responded in a scared voice. Draco gave her a sharp look that told her to shut up and that's what she did.
"Don't you ever call her that again. Do you understand me?" Draco spoke slowly just in case Pansy was as retarded as she seemed.
"Yes....I-"
"Stop talking!" Draco roared with rage making pansy jump and retreat from the room as quickly as possible. Draco stood in the middle of the room with eyes clamped shut and his hands fisted tightly at his sides. When the anger got the best of him he hit the stone wall as hard as he could only to yelp in pain and jump around angrily.
"Stupid freaking dark lord, stupid FREAKING rules, Stupid freaking walls, STUPID FREAKING WAR, STUPID FUCKING GRANGER AND STUPID FUCKING LOVE!" Draco was yelling as he jumped around with his now injured hand cradled against his chest.
--
Hermione was still positioned against the large pillar when she saw Pansy flee the room with a look of fear on her face. Curiosity got the best of her and she poked her head out only to see Malfoy jumping about like a mad man.
"Stupid freaking dark lord, stupid FREAKING rules, Stupid freaking walls, STUPID FREAKING WAR, STUPID FUCKING GRANGER AND STUPID FUCKING LOVE!" Hermione couldn't help but giggle at this. IT was just like Malfoy to jump around yelling when he was hurt. Draco stiffened at the giggle and he heard and spotted Hermione looking lovely as ever. Easy boy. Draco calmed himself at the sight of her. He couldn't help but feel over joyed at the sight of her, he couldn't help the warm feeling that resided in his heart when she giggled, and he really couldn't help the ragging hard on he got at the very sight of her. Before he knew it he was leaning towards her aiming for her soft lips. A sharp slap was greeted to his cheek instead of the lips he wanted but he'd take what he could get.
"What was that?" Draco asked a little shocked.
"What do you think it was?" Hermione sneered and turned on her heel to leave but was stopped when he grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him again. She couldn't help but feel happy to see him, she couldn't help that she craved his presence, and she really couldn't stop the tears streaming down her cheek.
--
--- When Draco saw the tears rolling down her cheek he instantly let her arm go and took a step back. What am I doing? This is going to ruin everything I've tried to stop! I can't be with her! She'll end up dead. The thoughts were power enough to move away from her.
"I'm so s-sorry…" Was all Draco could manage to choke out before he turned and ran from the woman he still loved very deeply.
This is for the best. Just keep on running! Were the words of encouragement running with him.
--
"I'm so s-sorry…." Were the words Hermione heard before the man she loved ran from her. The pain was surreal but hurt all the same. The last thing she saw before Draco turned the corner were the tips of his blond hair that use to hand over her when they made love, before they disappeared around the corner as well.
