"Hey there" Draco gingerly sat down next to her.
She looked up at him through her eyelashes. "Hey"
They sat in silence for a while. Watching the thestrals soar through the sky.
"How did you find me?" Hermione finally asked.
"I don't know"
She snuggled closer to him and he conjured a blanket to cover them
for it was a chilly night.
"So what's it like?" she asked. "Being the bad guy."
Draco didn't answer for a while, thinking of his answer. "Depressing" he finally said.
And just like that, they watched the sunset, wrapped in a blanket, while Draco stroked her hair softly.

"What would it be like..." she asked. "
"What?" he asked.
Sure, he had told Blaise it was all for the show but... was it really true?
"To be a normal kid..."
A moment of silence followed her words.
He chuckled humorlessly. "What do you mean?"
She turned around to face him. "To be a muggle. Walk the streets without a care. And not... not carry this burden of... death all the time."
It was a tricky question, Draco had to admit but the answer was a bit obvious. "Boring"
She laughed softly, like a tinkling bell. "I guess so" and yet again they lapsed into a comfortable silence, watching the sun rise.

"What are you doing?" Astoria asked her.
"Reading" Draco replied looking up from his book.
"Studious are we?" Blaise smirks as takes the book from his hands.
Astoria stifles a giggle. "How to Charm Witches" he reads out loud. "Volume one"
He goes red and takes the book back.
"Tell us! Who is it?" Astoria asks.
"Draco?" a small voice says. It's Hermione.
"Yeah?"
"Are you ready?"
Astoria and Blaise make up a lame excuse about toast and butter and walk away while making kissy faces.
Draco rolls his eyes. His friends were to immature.
He glances toward his lap and sees the book. Panicked, he hides it hurriedly under the couch.
She sits next to him. "Do you really want to go?"
With a groan, he gets off the couch. "Sure"
He dusts himself off.
Hermione swings a small purse over her shoulder.
"What's that?"
She smirks. "Supplies"
"Will it even work?"
"I don't know"
They walk towards the entrance slowly to find it's locked. Draco whips out his wand.
"Put that silly thing away!" she whispers.
Hermione feels the walls until she finds a loose stone and pushes on it.
A number pad shows up.
"A bit cliché don't you think?"
She ignores him and presses a button on the underside of the number pad.
The doors still don't open but Hermione seems satisfied.
Draco gives her a questioning look.
Hermione tosses him a bottle of a reddish liquid.
"Drink up"
Draco immediately starts shrinking.
"Where did you get this?"
"Made it myself. It'll wear off in a minute so hurry up"
She goes to the far corner of the doors and puts a small key in a lock. The door opens and they step outside.
"It was all inspired by muggle classics" Hermione smiles and stars running.
At the speed of which a normal sized person would walk... which is pretty fast if you ask me.
"Can you believe it Draco?!?!"
"We're finally free!"
