Their friendship was a really strong bond. This had started from a year after the war. After Harry's death in the war no one had seen Hermione till one day Malfoy found her in one of the street benches sitting and crying. He wanted to talk to her but couldn't. Eventually they did talk and became good friends. His mental support calmed her down a great deal and she became quite her normal self again. Everything was going well and they had their own flats in London. After his parents death malfoy had sold the manor and settled in his comfy flat which he had decorated extremely well and the riches of the manor had added to his position. They supported each other and even if it were the toughest of times they couldn't be sad if they remained together. All was well till they went for their checkup at st mungos, Hermione was declared fit but the problem was with Draco. The healers suspected him having puckzia because of detection of strong curses and had sent him for higher scanning. They detected what they had feared and so calculated his date of death.
Hermione had lost most of her nearby friends. Harry, Ron, and Ginny also. Ginny had given up her life to kill lord Voldemort to avenge the death of her love. She lost Luna also, no one knew her to be dead and Hermione strongly believed that she wasn't because she had disappeared into the forbidden forest. She was all alone struggling with life till she found Draco and she knew that she wouldn't be able to live without him. She had promised to save him and she surely would but how?
Her first goal was to take him for a day tour to Australia but it was three in the dawn and she lay on the bed caressing Draco's pale face and white hands which rested on her waist. She loved him so much, she couldn't lose him. She had decided that they would leave for Sydney at 4:00. She got up from the bed and without waking him she took out a rucksack and packed a few items and food in it. She slowly shook him up to consciousness but couldn't manage to keep a straight face at the thought that that could be one of the last days she was seeing him. He was a bit taken aback by the sudden tears of the girl whom he so dearly loved but he was still drowsy and hugging her he went back to sleep. Then he felt a gush of cold water all over his body and scream to get up.
"Get up you foul lazy git. We leave for Australia in ten minutes". He got up and dabbed himself dry then Hermione thrust a t-shirt down his neck and dissaparated. Although they had hurried a lot they could manage to leave only at 4:10. It would be fun she thought but she had to keep in mind her resolution too. Draco's nose was running a bit because of the cold water but Hermione fixed his cold as they reached the Sydney opera house. It was beautiful and Draco was utterly awestruck they stood staring at the entrance for a few minutes. Then she realized that they could be late so she hauled him inside. There was a stunning view of the ocean from the Sydney harbor and they took many tours in it. Hermione's luck was with her and she met a very famous charms teacher of ilvermony the North American school of magic. They chatted and eventually the topic of puckzia did come up. She got to know lots about puckzia and she understood the very urgent need to visit ilvermony if she wanted to heal Draco. They were really enjoying in Australia they then went to the White haven beach which is the most beautiful beach of Australia, Hermione shed most of her clothes and so did Draco and they had the time of their lives over there. When they were going away from there, suddenly Draco started to sob. "I do not want to die Hermione the world is so beautiful I want to live in it happily as I was please I don't want to die so soon."
"you will not die Draco I promised you for now here we come great barrier reef." it was nearing noon at that time and they had some sausages as lunch then they went to cairns in Queensland. The three places were the three corners of Australia and the best places to see. They scuba in the reef and though Draco told her not to, Hermione picked one dead coral from there. After that they changed into cargo pajamas and went to the kangaroo and koala reserve. Hermione had waited for this all day. They fed the baby koalas some food which they were given while entering the park it was meant for baby koalas only. They saw kangaroos and had the fortune of seeing one with a baby also. They were really tired after all of that and apparated back to their flat. Even Hermione couldn't do any of her research after that. She couldn't imagine that they had toured the best places of Australia in one day Draco did not bother to eat anything as they had just eaten patties neither did he bother to change his clothes and in no time he was in dreams . Hermione changed into her pajamas and hugged Draco tightly and went to sleep. The next day after all they were going to ilvermony to visit his parents' graves and she had to find Draco's cure also. So she too went in a deep undisturbed sleep. Her eyes opened again at 5:00 next morning and she knew that they were late.
