"He loved you Hermione," Ginny said to her unasked question, " But, like himself, if he can better the lives of his kingdom by sacrificing as few as possible, he will do it. Even if they are his daughters."

"If he loved me, he would not do this to me." Hermione said softly, looking down at the bedspread, "Or her." She added.

Ginny said nothing for a few moments, " Perhaps it is not all bad? I have seen the way Draco looks at you, and how you look at him. It is not all lost, Hermione, for there is love between the two of you. Your father would not have sent you here if he thought you would be unhappy or ill treated."

"And my sister dying? I bet he wasn't so upset about that, was he?"

Ginny watched her, "He was devastated. But he had to… you know this as well as I do. If she was to stop the marriage before it happened by alerting the villagers… there has already been to much bloodshed in the war. You have the power to stop it."

"Not that I was given much choice in the matter, is it?"

"There is always choice."

"What do you mean?"

Ginny said nothing; instead, she smiled softly and murmured, " Goodnight, Hermione."

" But I'm not tired." She stated.

Ginny reached over, as though to give her a hug. He rested her hand on Hermiones neck for a moment and deftly pinched it. Hermione slumped forward, unconscious.

She tucked the covers around her friend and walked out of the room, closing the door softly behind her.

……………………..

"How is she?" Dracos voice was gruff, and the firelight gave his face an eerie glow.

"Upset. I cannot say I am surprised." Ginny answered.

"I did not know it was her sister." He said, almost apologetically.

Ginny gazed at him fiercely, " Would it have mattered?"

His eyes flashed crimson for a moment, remembering his bloodlust, " No."

She looked away, " I didn't think so."

………………………..

"Hermione"

The voice whispered her name. Se turned slowly to see her sister smiling up at her, "Come with me, Mione!" The little girl took her hand and tugged her towards a forest.

She walked with Luna for what seemed what hours before they reached a clearing. They both sat on a boulder, looking at one another.

" Luna… I'm sorry." Hermione said softly.

"Why?" She asked, a slight frown on her face, " I'm with momma now, Mione. I'm happy."

"But you…"

"Died?" Luna interrupted, " Yes. But it is better this way. You are who they want, Mione. You are the only one who has the power to stop it."

"Stop what? The war?"

"No, Mione. Something greater."

"What?" She asked.

Luna looked around her nervously, " I can't say, Mione. But you have to marry him. I know you love him, Mione. Forgive him."

"Never." She whispered, " he killed you."

"He could not help it, Mione. Please. For me?"

Hermione looked at her sister and saw the little face, so earnest, tipped to the side, " Only for you."

Luna smiled, and a glow seemed to emulate from her, "Oh Mione, thank you. Here." She said, thrusting a chain at her, put it on.

"What is it?" She took it and looked at the delicate silver chain with a tiny heart charm on it.

"You'll know what to do with it Mione." Luna said, gently taking it out of her hands and clasping it around her neck, "Goodbye." She softly kissed Hermiones cheek.

"Don't leave me!"

"I love you."

"No! Stay with me!"

"Hermione!"

The loud voice forced her to open her eyes with a start. Ginny was beside her, concern in her eyes.

"It was a dream."

"What was?" Ginny asked, smoothing her hair.

"A dream…."

"What is this?" Ginny held the chain up to the light, letting the silver sparkle.

Hermione unclasped it and held it in her hand. It was the necklace Luna had given her.

……………………….

"Hello, Hermione." Draco sad softly.

"Hello." She replied.

"I need to talk to you."

" I know."

"Hermione." Draco took a deep breath, " The wedding is in two days…"

…………………………
