A/N: I do not own anything involving with Harry Potter.
I am trying to end this story in the next chapter or so. Hopefully I can manage to do so! There are two other Harry Potter stories I have come to mind that I really would like to write. One being another Draco/Hermione. Another, which may be a WHAT?! (drum roll) Hermione and Tom Riddle.
The reason in doing so, is I started reading one of those two and I have become in love with the two characters together. Of course when Hermione goes back in time, etc. You know? I don't know if I will write the story or not seeing as I have no idea how I could.. But. I am considering it. Even though I feel like it's going to be a very difficult task to do so.
So on to my story! Thank you for all of the reviews. I can't believe I have so many. I wouldn't have thought people would enjoy my story actually. I've just been doing it for fun and to attempt becoming a better writer.
Chapter Twenty-Six: A Rocky Return
Hermione could feel the warm light hitting her face. She slowly opened her eyes, the heaviness pulling them down. Moving very slowly, her eyes opened and she was laying in a warm bed. Everything was white, and she had no idea where she could be at. The last thing she remember was the Malfoy Manor. She felt the tears coming from her eyes and streaming down her face.
"No... Draco." she rolled over closing her eyes as she continued to cry. Her true love and she had no idea where he was or what happened to him. She felt completely empty and not knowing what to do with herself.
"Hermione?" said a voice from behind her. She didn't roll over, the voice wasn't the one she wanted to hear. "'Mione, are you awake?" she moved her head slightly over to see Harry walking over to her. "Hermione, don't cry."
She looked up at him, she felt broken. For everything that happened when she was last awake she was blaming herself. Everything that happened to Narcissa, Draco and her was her own fault. If she had of listened to Harry when he said it could have been a trap that Bellatrix had set up, she didn't know why she couldn't have listened to him. She probably wouldn't be in the bed that she was in, if it wasn't for her own horrible discussions.
"Hermione, everything is going to alright. Bellatrix has been taking away." he pulled out the Daily Prophet. "See?" he pointed to the headlines.
AFTER BRUTAL ATTACK AGAINST TWO TEENAGERS AND ADULT.
BELLATRIX FINALLY CAPTURED. DEMENTOR KISS, IN HER FUTURE.
Bellatrix Lestrange, sister of Narcissa Malfoy and aunt of Draco Malfoy
was found at the Malfoy Manor torturing muggle-born, Hermione Granger.
Who is known as one of Harry Potter's best , who had been in
the manor to save the young Malfoy, was found by Lestrange, who began to brutally
attacking. No word is known for the condition of the two teenagers, the mother is in healthy
condition, still in care at St. Mungo's. Malfoy who was -
Hermione stopped reading as the lump in her throat grew. She began to cry once more; harder then she had been. She realized she was obviously at St. Mungo's. She remembered being on the Ball Room floor and when the order rushed in, saving her in the nick of time.
"Hermione listen to me, she's gone now. Nothing wrong is ever going to happen again. The is not going to be a beginning of a war again. It's really over now." Harry began trying to reason with her.
"No. No! He's gone!" she shouted at him. "GET OUT! I don't want to talk to you! GET OUT!"
"Hermione, what are you talking about?! Malfoy-" he stood up. Hermione threw the Daily Prophet at him.
"I said get out!!" she picked up the closest object at him and threw it. He quickly rushed out of the room, not wanting to be hit. She could hear the whispers outsider her door. Harry was whispering to Ron and Ginny. She let out a tiny sob and slowly fell back asleep again.
"How long has she been sleeping?" she heard the voice so clearly around her, but Hermione seemed to not be able to open her eyes.
"After we got her out of the manor she was here for about five days before waking up. She thinks you're dead.. After she woke up the first time she passed out, it's been another four days."Hermione was confused. Who where they talking too?
"What? How can you sleep that long?" she heard movement. "Everyone out. Now!" the movement continued as she heard the door to her room open and close quickly. A pressure came from the end of her bed as if someone sat on it. She tried to open her eyes again.
"Hermione?" said the voice she had been hoping to return to her. "You need to wake up. Right now. Everything is actually okay. My mother is back home now. Bellatrix received the kiss yesterday morning. We don't have anything to ever worry about anymore. " he let out a heavy sigh. Leaning down on the bed, she felt pressure on both of her sides. Hot breath came close to her face and she smelled his wonderful sent. Ever so lightly, soft delicate lips pressed against hers.
"Draco?" she muttered when the lips pulled away. "Am I dead?" she asked more to herself, trying to find him in the room. Her eye sight was still foggy from just pulling out of a dream. But nothing was said back to her. She was in the hospital bed. She sighed. He wasn't there. She tried to roll over to her side to look out the window but a body stopped her. She began to yell.
Draco was laying beside her on the hospital bed, he glanced up at her shocked.
"What?! Why are you yelling?!" he asked raising up to take her into his arms. "What is this question, Am I dead? You've been at St. Mungo's for about two weeks now." she crawled into his chest, holding on to him as tightly as she possibly could.
"I thought you were dead." she sobbed out, and he pulled her up into his lap. Harry, followed by Mrs. Weasley and Ron rushed into the room from the yelling Hermione had sent out. As they saw Draco sitting in the bed with her, they stopped. Slowly pulling away out of the room. Leaving the door creaked opened, they all sat there eagerly, waiting to hear what was said. "Please don't leave me... Please."
"I'll never leave you, Hermione." he kissed her on the forehead. "Remember? I get to keep you. Always and forever." she let out a sob that sounded like a laugh and he smiled at her. "We did it."
She looked up to him, her hand trailing down his jaw line. "I love you, Draco Malfoy."
"I love you too, Hermione Granger."
I'm sorry this is short. I didn't want you to wait. Most of you flipped out when you thought I killed Draco off.. I really need to sleep now. Like gain my energy back. My writing has been awful. GOODNIGHT to you all.
