I hope you guys liked the story...
Enjoy...
I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous
It had been 2 months since their romantic interlude and 1 month since Hermione confessed to Draco that she knew about his plan. To everyone else they were still the bricking bicker bitch pair, no one even noticed the lack of maliciousness or the broken tone in which Draco spoke. His eyes getting sunken and face gaunt by the minute. Nobody noticed that the ever feisty granger always looked like she'd been crying or the lack of her retorts to Malfoy.
Flashback
Sitting hidden in the room of requirement the forbidden lovers were cuddling on the carpet next to the hearth.
"Draco…"
"Hmmm…"
She slipped out of his embrace and turned to face him. She had to tell him. She couldn't hide it anymore, besides he knew how much she loved him right? So it would be fine. She would even ask him to take Dumbledore's help.
"What is it love?"
"There's something I have to tell you but before that…"
She kissed him passionately. "I want you to know That I. Love. You. Draco Malfoy. More than anything or anyone in this world."
"And I love u Herm…" She put a finger on his lips to shush him.
"I have always liked you… a month ago Dumbledore had called me to his office. He wanted me to do a mission for the order and I said yes."
"Does it involve you going away Herms 'cause I know I couldn't survive without you."
"No.. My mission was to become your friend and ask you to join the order so that we could protect your mother and you... But I'm glad i…"
"Played me? Had your fun?"
"Draco no! Please"
"Please what Granger? So are you tired of this mission now? Or did the weasel finally notice you? I should have understood long back that you were a great actress. But I have to say your skill in bed is marvelous too"
Tears were beginning to form at the edges of her eyes… he couldn't bear this… the awful feeling in his chest that someone just ripped his heart out… He knew he didn't deserve her because she was perfect… He was in paradise when they had made love… He was glad that at least he had one person in this world no matter what… and in an instant it was all gone in a lie… He got up to leave and she clung to his hand..
"Draco please let me explain… I really do love you… It started with that but…" He jerked her hand off so hard she toppled backwards..
"Don't touch me you filthy little mudblood whore." With that he walked away from the woman he loved most in his life…
She had lay there on the carpet weeping against the chaise and eventually falling asleep. He had gone to the astronomy tower and only when he got to the top and charm the exit did he let a single tear fall.
His tear fell on his left wrist and then he remembered, it was him, he was a death eater, he was the dark, he was worthless, he was a coward, he was everything she's not.

Another day, another meeting, another barrage of insults from Draco and his fellow Slytherins, and yet another time that Hermione granger walked away from them like a defeated solider who'd given up hope of survival. She had taken the entire blame upon herself, telling herself constantly that it was her fault. That she didn't know how to show him she loved him.
Harry, Ron and even Ginny had been pleasantly unaware of her inner turmoil. In front of them she'd put on her best poker face with the biggest smile and then run away to the library in minutes. She threw herself into her studies like never before and if anyone questioned this she blamed it on the NEWTS.
Another typical evening Hermione was scratching away at her parchment in the library. She had missed lunch, dinner and even dessert because she insisted on revising. In fact she had barely had a toast since morning, so when Madam Pince threw her out of the library… literally… she barely made it to the room of requirement before collapsing in the empty corridor with the pile of books she had taken out of the library…

Draco Malfoy was reduced to tears of frustration, Katie Bell was not supposed to touch that necklace only to deliver it. Stupid girl! Why did he have to do this. Why did he have to destroy everything in his path just like Hermione. He hadn't seen her since double potions and that was before lunch. He shouldn't have said those things to her. He knew she loved him. He couldn't bear to see her so broken. He couldn't apologies to her since she was avoiding anyone especially him like the plague. He couldn't stop his posse from insulting her. He couldn't ask Snape or Dumbledore for help. And his incapability to do anything was driving him nuts! He banged his fist against the hopeless-vanishing-cabinet-which-hated-him and decided that he would go out and return to the room he and Hermione had shard that night. As he stepped out and began to pace thinking the exact phrase he tripped over something in the darkness and swore loudly…. When he turned to see the object of his wrath, it turned out to be a stupid fat book….. in fact it turned out to be a pile of stupid fat books
Draco POV
What on earth? "Lumos"
Great just what I need a fainted student with a pile of… but… Hermione… oh my god! She looks so pale… shit! Shit! Shit! This is all my fault! Please be okay… please please. Please!...
10 minutes later the Hospital wing
"Mr. Malfoy! she is fine. She collapsed because she's been overtaxing herself on an empty stomach and that is all. So stop asking me to check on her ever 2mins and stop asking me why she hasn't woken up already!"
Stupid woman! Doesn't she understand! This is Hermione granger the boon of my existence! And she's a porcelain doll… just look at her… I did this… she looks so at peace… maybe I should just leave before potty and weasel show up... then again… where are they? They should have burst through the doors the second we landed here…
"Madame Pom.."
"No Mr. Malfoy I'm not going to check on Hermione again!"
"No… I just wanted to know if pot… err…. her friends have been informed…"
"No."
"No?"
"The headmaster didn't think it was necessary to wake Mr. potter or Mr./Miss Weasly at this hour besides I assure u she's perfectly safe here."
Of course I knew she's safe what does this woman think I'm daft? I glad they won't come… I'll be right here with you Hermione… I love you… I'm so sorry… I love you so much…
End Draco's POV
In the early hours of next morning at the hospital wing
Hermione's POV
Where am I?… what… my hand… what is wet?…
I blinked then tried to open my eyes, form the window it looked like Dawn, I rolled over only to face a tuft of blond hair. Draco! What is he? Crying…. Because of me….
"Draco…" he didn't stir… He looked so cold had he been here all night….
End Hermione POV
Draco felt as if an angel had called out to him… He felt stiff and could barely move but he willed himself to look up and slowly he did to meet those beautiful brown eyes filled with concern just for him…
"Have you been here all nig…" This time it was his turn to shush her with a finger.
"Hermione Jean Granger, I Love You. I know that I've been an absolute jerk and that I don't deserve you and I'm coward but please… I Love you so much. I spent the whole of last night right next to you. I swear I will keep you happy and safe and I'll never ever and I mean ever let you go."
"I Love you too Draco and I really do… I admit that we became friends because of the mission but I really do Love you. Please take Dumbledore's help to hide you and your mother… and I kow I'm a hopeless stupid know it all Gryffindor... but please never leave me ..."
"I never will my love… I never will…." With that said they both kissed… She moved to make room for him and Draco held her in his arms… after ages it seemed they were finally where they belonged.
"Hermione…. I was thinking… Maybe… when you're feeling better…"
"DRACO!"
"Nooooo… I was wondering I we could go up to Dumbledore…"
"Yes! I promise he'll keep your mother safe and you as wemmmph…" Draco captured her lips in a fiery kiss … "I just want you to be safe my beautiful Gryffindor princess …."

"Then again my love… who's to keep you safe from me?" was the witty afterthough with the infamous smirk.
"Likewise" said Hermione with a smirk that could rival any Malfoy.
