Quote from Supernatural

Hermione Potter watched nervously as members of the Order—including her dad, brother, honorary uncles, boyfriend, and Tonks—got ready for the raid. Hermione had managed, toward the middle of their sixth year, to convince Draco to come to her mom and Tonks when he had broken down and told her about his mission. Since then, he had become a full-fledged member of the Order; and with the three women with the most influence over the four main males of the Order on Draco's side, he had—more or less—been fully accepted.

Tonight Draco was leading a team of Order members to the Malfoy's Summer manor, where Voldemort's Inner Circle were taking cover. He had agreed to do this under two conditions. The first of which was that his mother—who was being held their as a basic hostage by his father and aunt—be allowed to stay at Grimmauld Place with him and the core members of the Order for protection. The second was that Hermione had to stay at Headquarters—a condition that her family, and honorary family members, were quick to agree to—for it would be a dangerous mission and he didn't want to risk the life of the girl who he could easily refer to as his savior.

As the group prepared to leave, Draco walked over to Hermione, who had been standing with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face.

"I love you, Hermione." Draco said softly, wrapping his arms around her.

After a minute, Hermione's expression softened and she hugged her boyfriend of two years beck tightly, "I love you, too, Draco."

She kissed him sweetly, her worry written in her eyes as she quietly pleaded, "Come back to me, alright?"

"Alright." Draco smiled. Kissing her again, he tired to ease her worries. Pulling back and cupping her face gently, he said, "Don't leave the house."

"Don't go getting all authoritative on me." Hermione fixed him with a fierce look, "I hate it."

Draco looked down at her softly, love for her shining in his eyes, "Don't leave the house, please?"

At those words, Hermione grabbed Draco's head and kissed him passionately, pouring everything she felt for him into that kiss, mixing in promises of what would happen if he returned.

"Ahem." Harry cleared his throat, at which Draco and Hermione threw him the one minute sign and Harry rolled his eyes.

Pulling back, Draco kissed her one last time—a promise that he would return—and walked toward the foyer, where the team that would be going on the mission were standing. Passing Harry, Draco shot over his shoulder, "You comin' or what?"

As Hermione watch Draco leave with her family, her mother came up and hugged her, promising that everyone would return.

Five hours later, Draco, Harry and Tonks arrived back at the house with Narcissa.

"Don't worry!" Harry, Tonks, and Draco exclaimed, seeing the two Potter women about to freak out.

"Everyone else is taking the IC members to Azkaban." Tonks elaborated, "We somehow managed not to lose anyone."

Hermione immediately pulled both her brother and her boyfriend into a tight hug as Narcissa was shone where she would be staying by Tonks. Soon Lily pulled her son to her, thankful he was back safe and sound, but also to allow for her daughter and Draco to sneak off up to Hermione's room.

Once the door was closed and locked behind them, Hermione kissed Draco passionately.

"I love you so much, Draco Malfoy." Hermione whispered, kissing him again.

"You are my one and only, Hermione Potter." Draco smiled softly down at her, kissing her nose and just holding her as Bellatrix's words rang in his ears; her treats yelled as she was carted off by Sirius. Though Draco knew that his insane aunt couldn't harm the girl in his arms, he couldn't help but be thankful that she okay.

Hermione knew there was something that he didn't want her to know, but she didn't push it, she just let him hold her, wrapping her arms around him, as well, revealing in the fact that he had come back.
