Draco Malfoy's POV
Hermione had left with Harry and Ron, nobody knew where they were, and I wanted it to stay that way.
But as long as Hermione was with Harry she was in the most danger right? And as much as I hated it… I still love her.
"Hermione please be okay… Please be careful" I whispered, but no matter how hard I prayed, how hard I wished I knew it was no use, she couldn't hear me, heck, she probably wished she never met me after I broke her heart like that.
"So this is it… it's over…?" Hermione whispered, not taking her eyes from the stone cold floor.
"Yes…" I breathed tears stinging at my own eyes, but I wasn't going to show them in front of her.
"Please don't do this to me" Hermione begged, her eyes pleading with mine.
"I'm sorry" I told her, as I looked away.
"I HATE you!" Hermione screamed as she turned to flee out of the empty classroom.
I watched, regretful as the images swam through my head. Why was my life so screwed up! Why did my Dad, the one person I always looked up to, have to be a Death Eater and bring me into all of this.
I ran my fingers gently down my blood streaked wrist, there had to be some way I could stop this all.
But I could only think of one way. Kill Voldemort.
Hermione's POV
I watched on as Harry and Ron started arguing again for the millionth time. "Would you too just cut it out!" I yelled at them, impatience creeping its way through my body.
Ron and I had started a relationship since we set out to find horcruxes. I still loved Draco, but the only way to get over someone is to be with someone else right? Well that's what I keep telling myself.
"Don't say his name!" I heard Ron hiss at Harry.
"What, you're scared to say it now?" Harry mocked back.
"Voldemo-"
"Don't say it!" Ron screamed this time, looking around worriedly.
"Oh honestly Ron, you could be so childish at times it's just a name" I snapped back, taking Harry's side.
Ron looked at me scornfully "It's not just that it's-"but Ron was cut off then by Harry.
"Voldemort!" Harry cried out, sticking his tongue out playfully at Ron.
I heard a loud psychotic shriek coming from my left. My inside froze when I heard it and I knew I had to look to confirm my fears.
I turned around slowly, praying that it wasn't her.
Bellatrix Lestrange was standing there behind us, her eyes wild and teeth bared. "Aww is little Ronikens scared?" Bellatrix asked in her most babyish voice, advancing on us slowly. I glanced to my right quickly and saw Ron's face become a pale white.
The words slipped past my lips so fast I didn't even know what was happening. "Expelliarmus" Harry cried pointing his wand square at Bellatrix's chest. Her wand span out of her hand and flew high up into the sky before landing back on the damp earth with a soft thud. At the same time I'd cried out "tormenta!" And long streaks of purple fire blazed up and down Bellatrix's body, dancing around as they licked at her bare skin.
"Enough!" Bellatrix screamed, banishing the purple blaze. "..This" She hissed, staring daggers at me. "Guards, get them!" She shrieked as an army of Death Eaters started to descend upon us.
I didn't have to look at the others, we already had a silent agreement and with that, I turned around on my heel and sped off into the forest.
I could hear the heavy thud of feet pounding across the damp ground and the jagged breaths as the Death Eaters tried to corner me. Please be okay… I begged silently, as I imagined the others being caught tortured and maybe even killed.
I ran through the dense forest, tripping and falling as I went but finally I heard the footsteps that had been tormenting me grow further and further away until finally I couldn't hear them at all.
I leant against and old oak tree, panting, trying to get my breath back as I wiped off beads of sweat that had begun to drip down my forehead.
"You didn't think you'd get away with it that easily did you?" a high pitched voice asked me, I can't believe I didn't notice her standing there before.
"Venix!" Bellatrix yelled making a sharp slashing movement with her wand as long silver strings tied themselves to my wrists binding me to Bellatrix's slender grey wand. I struggled and pulled but it was no use, the silver transparent bonds wouldn't break.
"Ready to go a little day trip?" She asked me, her voice icy, as she ripped through more octaves.
"No" I replied harshly, trying to yank myself away again.
"Always with the attitude…" She sighed before apparating and taking me with her.
The word span fast around me as I tried to make out the familiar surroundings.
"We're here!" Bellatrix announced gleefully as I looked around. I gasped when I realized where I was. Malfoy Manor…
