A/N: Hello! It's just me again :P

I know I said the story was done, but this was just begging to be published. This is Draco's POV of what happens on Halloween Night! I hope this answers the questions many of you had!

I apologize to those whose reviews I have yet to respond to-I've been studying :P In fact, I'm supposed to be studying right now... And yet I've spent the last three hours putting this little one-shot together :P Bad, I know.

Just so we're clear, I still don't own Draco. JKR is extremely possessive.

Unbeta'd-any mistakes are my own :( But a HUGE shout out to Siver Riv, who still helpfully pointed out the more major errors :P She's awesome, people!


Bonus Chapter:

Draco watched silently from among the mass of hooded and cloaked figures as Granger was pushed towards the cauldron. The wind felt cool on the now unblemished skin of his left forearm, but he was too tense to enjoy the liberating feeling.

What in Merlin's name is she waiting for? He wondered anxiously, brow furrowing. She has a wand, so why isn't she using it?

He winced as the Zabini slashed the knife across her palm. The moment her blood touched the Potion, Draco knew she was as good as dead. Use the fucking wand! he wanted to shout.

The Potion flared a bright white, blinding him momentarily. When his eyes returned to Granger, Zabini was landing a strong blow on the side her face.

'Mother, it's time to lower the wards,' he whispered to the woman next to him. He didn't wait to see her nod of acknowledgement, or to watch her sneak away towards the Manor.

Eyes only for the brown haired girl ahead, he began to move towards her as quickly as he could without drawing attention to himself. She had her wand out now, and with a quick spell, cries of pain filled the clearing as everyone around Draco dropped to their knees in pain, clutching at their Dark Marks.

Draco held in an exclamation of triumph. They'd done it! They'd ensured that the Potion would never work-ever again.

His triumph was short lived, however, as the he watched Granger's face morph into one of pity as she surveyed the Death Eaters before her. Time seemed to slow down as she raised her wand once more.

She's gonna do something stupid, his brain supplied, even as he reflexively raised his own wand and shouted, 'Protego!'

The shield expanded around him just a second before a ripple of energy exploded through the clearing. It rammed against his Shield Charm, tossing him off his feet.

The Death Eaters around him dropped like flies, the sudden silence ringing eerily around them.

Hermione was dropping to her knees on the grass ahead, and Draco felt the frantic urge to shake her for her foolishness. At that moment, though, that was probably a bad idea. It was a miracle she was still alive, considering the strength of the spell she'd used. A Stunner, he surmised.

'Granger!' Draco shouted, praying for a response as he carefully lifted her off the ground. Her eyes opened at his words, but they were glassy, as if she were asleep, or – no, he refused to finish that sentence.

Her eyelids drooped once more and Draco had never felt more terrified in his life.

'Granger, look at me, dammit! Open your eyes!' He pleaded desperately. She did not respond as he carried her to the edge of the clearing, away from all the Stunned Death Eaters.

'Hermione? Oh, Merlin,' Her first name slipped through his lips as he realized, with rising horror that her Magical core was probably eating into her life force now in order to keep it alive. Which meant she was dying.

There was only one thing he could do to save her now. The spell was an ancient Pureblood secret, a sacred bonding of magical cores. It was often used in Pureblood weddings as a sign of unity, of strength. He knew that could only be performed with one person in his lifetime, and the bond would be one-sided, but permanent. Draco, however, was beyond caring. In that moment, Granger's survival was the only thing that mattered to him. With the tip of his wand hovering over her chest, he yelled, 'Tribuo Potestatem!'

Draco felt the effects of the bond immediately, as she began to absorb his magic. Gritting his teeth, he set about the last bit of the plan, which Granger had delayed with her little stunt. Focus, he told himself, even as his mind drifted to her expression as she'd explained how, since she was dying anyway, she'd prefer not to bring Voldemort back in the process. 'You're not dying on my watch, Granger,' he murmured softly. 'Expecto Patronum!'

His silver snake Patronus disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, but it must have served its purpose because almost instantly, pops of Apparition echoed all around them.

Potter was the first one on the scene, and his piercing eyes instantly found Granger lying awkwardly in him arms.

'Hermione!' He rushed towards them, Death Eaters forgotten. Noticing her shallow breaths, he turned on Draco, wand raised. 'What happened?' he demanded.

'She played the Hero, that's what,' Draco grumbled, ignoring the wand pointed squarely between his eyes. He'd probably go cross-eyed trying to focus on it, anyway. 'Get her to St. Mungo's, Potter. I'm not going anywhere just yet.' Aurors were swarming all around them, so there was no chance that Draco could just disappear without at least one of them noticing.

Potter nodded, his eyes focused on Draco's hand. Following his gaze, Draco realized he'd been holding Granger's hand. Bugger. He couldn't remember slipping his hand into hers in the first place.

He quickly slid away from her, but the damage was probably already done. Potter's gonna bury me in Azkaban for the rest of my life, he thought, his eyes drifting to Granger's face. Would he ever see her again? Would she care?

When he looked back at Potter, though, Potter's wand was nowhere in sight. 'Let's get her to St. Mungo's, then,' he said, eyes sparkling. 'I'm certain the other Aurors won't mind if you come along, before we head back to the Ministry.'

Draco tilted his head, pretending to consider the offer. His choice was already made. This may well be the last time he got to be around Granger before he was sentenced to Azkaban or worse. He might as well make the most of it.

'As you wish, Potter,' he drawled, pulling himself to his feet slowly. The Power Transfer Spell was already weakening him, and his knees gave out before he was even upright. Granger's added weight did not help things.

Potter seized him roughly by his shoulder, easily pulling Hermione into his own arms in the same move. 'Maybe we need to have you checked up, too,' Potter muttered. 'Grab on!'

Draco grasped Potter's sleeve tightly, and with another little 'pop,' the three of them Disapparated away, leaving the clearing full of Death Eaters and Aurors behind them.


A/N: Well? What do you guys think? I have a few ideas for another chapter where Hermione finds out about the Power Transfer Spell, but I might be inclined to write it sooner if you guys REALLY want me to... ***hint: if I get enough positive reviews*** :P
