The big one! Hope you enjoy!(:

The next day went by so slowly.

Hermione liked that it was going by slowly that way she could hold off the pain she would feel.

Draco wanted it to go by faster that he could get it over with.

Tonight is the night that they both wanted to never come. They wanted it to stay the one day that they were happy for the whole day with no one but each other.

"It feels like a dream" Hermione thought to herself. "Being this happy has to be against the law." She looked at Draco Malfoy and quickly refocused on her book when he looked at her.

"How did this happen?" Draco thought himself while looking at Hermione buried in a book. "I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. She is the only person I have confided in and she understood. I have never been this happy. Ever." Draco stared at her with a thirst for her voice and lips.

Hermione and Draco had spent their entire day together in Hogsmeade. They snuck around the little village for hours. Hermione thought it was romantic and Draco found it necessary.

As long as they were together.

Draco bought her pumpkin juice and a new book which made her smile. He loved it. They talked about everything, mostly. Hermione learned about Draco's family and Hermione told Draco about hers. He tried not to think about her blood and being a muggle-born. Hermione tried not think about Draco being a stuck up pure-blood but he never really showed it anymore. Hermione had gotten to Draco.

Hermione and Draco sat in a booth in the corner of the Hog's Head, not the most romantic spots but no one from Hogwarts ever went in their.

They just looked at each other. Smiling and laughing for no reason. They were happy. THey made each other happy. They made each other laugh and made each other so upset but they eventually got over it and realized how much they couldn't stand being away from each other.

Draco awoke from his day dream of the past few months. He had realized that tonight was only the beginning of what is to come.

Hermione was very antsy during her classes and just wanted anything to do to keep her mind busy. School was not helping surprisingly enough.

Harry finally left with Dumbledore around eleven that night.

Everything was really quiet. Hermione thought that maybe nothing would happen tonight.

Ron saw faintly the dark mark hovering over the Astronomy Tower. Ron ran to warn the others.

"Hermione! The dark mark is over the Astronomy Tower! What do we do?!" He panted.

"Well, obviously go over there!" She took off in a sprint with many things running through her mind.

"I never can figure you out. I think I finally understand you and then poof you do something that makes me change my mind." Draco said walking down by the lake with Hermione holding her hand.

"Well, you have to realize something. Girls are very complicated to boys. Do you know why?" She said swinging her hand in Draco's.

"Yes! Finally someone who gets it! Ironically enough it's a girl, but why are girls so complicated?"

"Obviously because boys are toosimple. The two basic words are yes and no. Boys don't need much, whereas girls need a lot to make themselves, themselves."

"Simple! No. We just don't express ourselves as much as girls. Girls are very sensitive so boys need to watch what they say. Also you girls are pains in the ass sometimes, you get upset, which has about a two day pout period and then your off doing the next pain in the ass thing." He said with a smug smile.

"Sensitive! Draco Malfoy you are just an ignorant spoiled brat, and if I'm such a pain in ass why are you standing here with me?" She stomped her foot and put her hand on her hip.

"Because you being a pain in the ass is what makes me crazy about you."He smirked

"No, don't go giving me that charming, loving crap you know how crazy it makes me." Hermione said giving in to Draco's charm.

He pulled her in and began to kiss her softly. Hermione started to get more aggressive and wanted more. She ran her fingers through his soft blonde hair and he moved his hands up and down her back. They sat down right where they were. Hermione let go of his hair and put them to his cheeks. He held onto her and began kissing her neck and every inch of her face. She let her hands fall to her side limp and warm. She loved these moments where they could just enjoy each other.

Hermione smiled at the memory as she ran. There were never going to be moments like ever again.

Neville, Ginny, Luna, and more members of the D.A. caught up with Ron and Hermione, they were in a panic.

When the group managed to get to the astronomy tower death eaters began to arrive.

There bright flashes of green and red. Curses were being shot everywhere hitting walls and out into the dark night.

Hermione's heart was beating faster than the speed of light. She couldn't see Draco anywhere. She felt guilty because she was worried about Draco and her best friends who were more at risk of getting hit by a curse and dying.

She heard his voice from over the blasts. It was a death eater screaming at Draco.

"Now Draco! Here's your chance! Kill him! He is helpless, no one can help him now."

"Draco, you don't want to do this." Dumbledore's kind voice rang.

"I have to do this." Draco whimpered.

"No, you have a choice. I can help your family. I can offer protection for you all." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled like he was not in danger.

"Draco don't listen to him! Do it!" The death eaters voice screeched.

Draco stepped down and Snape took over.

"Move! AVADA KEDAVRA!" Snape's voice carried and echoed. A bright jet of green light flew from Snape's wand and hit Dumbledore square in the chest. Dubledore's body fell over the edge of the Astronomy tower and fell to the hard unforgiving ground.

There was another green light that almost hit Hermione, but she ducked just in time. It didn't hit her but it hit someone else instead.

Time went slow for Draco Malfoy. He smiled and turned his head towards Hermione. He was thankful that she was safe and sound. He started to walk towards her when a something hard hit him perfectly in the shoulder. The blow felt like a hose of water was being sprayed at him. He jolted his back and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Hermione saw his smile and thought everything would be fine. Out of no where she saw his body fall and his silver, gray eyes went blank. The twinkle had flown out of them and his body was motionless. The room froze and everybody stopped. The death eaters looked down and saw one of their own down. They had fled from the sight almost immediately.

Hermione stopped dead in her tracks and stared down at her love's body. She had no reaction, no movement, no breathing. The scene seemed to have stopped around her.

When she finally started to realize what had happened she ran to Draco and threw herself on his body. She got cold all over. His body was freezing. Her eyes were watering and she whispered to the vacant body.

"Wake up...Stop pretending...Don't leave me." She whispered while snuggling her face in his clothes. She didn't care who was around. She wanted it to be a dream. "Wake up dammit! You can't do this! I won't let you die!" Her voice started to grow louder. The salt water was streaming down her cheeks and onto Draco's body. No one understood what was happening to Hermione. Ron felt kind of bad about Draco but would never show any emotion over him. Hermione could feel her chest collapsing and her heart breaking. She got up a little and kissed him on his cold and colorless lips and then collapsed. Everything went black.

Hermione fluttered her eyes until they finally opened fully. She looked around the sun glazed room she was lying on a very uncomfortable mattress. She was in the hospital wing. The dazed girl sat up and looked around the room once more. She tried to remember what had happened but couldn't until she saw a pile of clothes on the bed next to her. They were Draco Malfoy's clothes. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and put her bare feet on the icy cold floor. She walked over to the clothes and pulled them up to her face. She could still smell him like he was standing right next to her. She walked over to the window and saw Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy walking to the astronomy tower; probably going to see where their only son was murdered. She left the window and just smother her face in Draco's clothes. She didn't want to put them down but had to when she heard the door handle creak. She ran back to her bed and pretended like she was just awoken.

"Good dear your finally awake." Said madame Pomfrey very muffled trying to cover up the fact that she had just got done crying. "How do you feel?" Her kindess was just too much.

"Fine. Why are Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy still here?" Hermione said looking towards the window.

"They were here to see their son and t-t-to tell the s-s-school when the services for Draco Malfoy are going to be held." Madame Pomfrey tried to hold her tears back and did so unsuccessfully. Hermione couldn't look at her. "They will be held at the Malfoy Manor the day after school lets out for the summer hoilday. Five O'clock in the evening. The whole school is invited."Hermione wanted to cry but felt like she there was nothing left to cry. Her cheeks still burned form her tears earlier.

"Well, when can I leave? Summer holidays are going to be here soon I would like to finish some last minutes things to take care of." Hermione sounded cold and heartless but was really beaten and broken up inside.

"You may go whenever. I thought you would like to stay a while because I found you thrown across Draco's body but-" Madame Pomfrey brought out her hankerchief and blew her nose.

"Yes, well I need to leave." Hermione didn't let Madame Pomfrey finish and grabbed her clothes, threw them on and left in a hurry.

She ran to the lake and stopped and dropped to the ground. She let the tears fall where the will and crawled to the lake's freezing water. She stood up in the water that was thigh deep and put herself under the surface. She opened her eyes under the water. It burned. She looked around and saw nothing but clouds and darkness. She went back up when she could no longer hold her breathe. Hermione watched the castle from the water. She could feel all the feelings she had and still has for Draco rushing over her like the water over her head.

"Hmmm…" Hermione's nose was deep in "Hogwarts: A History" once again with her fingers running through her thick brown hair. She looked up because she had heard a few giggles coming from a corner in the library. She hated it when girls giggled like that especially in the library for it was her sanctuary in the school when she was given a hard by the other students who were mostly Slytherins. The giggles continued and she thought it was girls swooning over Blaise Zabini an attractive Slytherin. She looked up and she was wrong. The silly girls were swooning over the Draco Malfoy. Hermione rolled her eyes at the group and looked back her book. She tried to ignore the noise but she couldn't help but look behind her and scoff each time and try to give them the hint to leave or be quiet at least. She got angrier but she wasn't angry because they were making obstructions but she was jealous. "No, calm down you are not jealous. I mean last night was just weird he didn't mean anything he did I know it.."

"Excuse me but do you mind keeping it down?! Some of us actually come to the library to read and study not to snog the entire day away!"

"Now now Granger, don't get your wand in a knot. I don't see any snogging going on. Not jealous are you?" Draco Malfoy knew it was getting to Hermione and he loved seeing her get so torn up about it and her nose wrinkle.

"Jealous!? It's official you're a complete nutter! If you think I'm jealous then you must be dreaming!" She slammed her book closed with a loud thud and slid the chair violently back and stormed out of the library looking back once and mumbling things under her breath. Then Malfoy got up and lightly pushed the girls away and left the library after Hermione.

"Granger! Granger! Come on now turn around please. I just want to talk. Please." Hermione stopped didn't look back and kept walking

"And what makes you think I want to talk to you?" A smirk was growing on her face she knew Malfoy was getting upset because his breathing was getting heavier.

"Well the way you stopped and the smirk grew on your face because you know you are making me upset." He was right. Hermione stopped once again but turned around and he was closer than she thought. He was so close their faces were almost touching.

"And how did, I mean do, you know that?" Her voice got breathier and lighter as she looked up at his face she had never noticed how much taller he was than her. He looked down at her and flashed her a gorgeous smile.

"I know a lot of things. Actually I know more a lot more than I let you believe. I noticed the way you twirl your hair when you think really hard or that your nose crinkles up when you are upset. I also noticed your little crush on weasel bean." His voice flowed together and was soft and comforting.

"What? You think I have a crush on Ron? Well that's just crazy."

"You know I'm right and I know he fancies you too. The way you two look at each other sometimes, oh yeah I noticed that too, it's just so obvious. I also know something you don't it's a bit surprising actually." He chuckled. Their bodies hadn't moved an inch. Hermione could hear his heart beat and feel his chest move up and down as he took nice slow breathes. She closed her eyes and opened them again and took a step back.

"Really and what don't I know?"

"Well that I'm jealous just like your jealous. Except I'm jealous of Weasley." Malfoy looked down at the ground and kicked the floor. He looked like a little boy with his first crush.

"What?! Your jealous of Ron? Why?" She took another step back and looked him up and down with a confused look on her face.

"Of course! He can have you and I well I can't." He got closer to her as he spoke his voice sounding even more comforting that she could just go to sleep in his arms and not have to worry about anything.

"I, I , I don't believe you. You could just be telling me this so you can humiliate me once again an-" He cut her off, grabbed her in his arms and kissed her surprisingly soft on the lips. She looked up at him and he kissed her again but not as soft. It was a little more aggressive but soothing his soft lips on hers. His arms were so warm around her. She moved her hand to his face and stroked his cheek and then suddenly they both stepped back and looked at each other. Both of them turned around fast and started power walk in different directions. Both with a big smile wide across their faces and they could still feel each others lips on their own.

Her body was shivering and purple. Her hair had frizzed a little, her eyes were bloodshot, her heart was broken.

Classes and exams were cancelled. Hermione attended Dumbledore's funeral not talking to either of her friends. She didn't want people asking about that night. She was debating in her head weather or not to go to Malfoy Manor. She wanted to go and she felt like she needed to go but the thought of going and being near his family made her skin crawl. His family never knew about them. She didn't want them to know. They might think she is the reason of their son's death. She thought she was the reason of his death too.

Alright Hope yall liked! I'm getting to the end of the story probably like one or two more chapters.
