Malfoy Manor, 1 Year Later

I ran. It's what I was best at. But the world always had a funny way of drawing you closer to what you are running from.

In this case it was love. For me at least.

This was the last place I wanted to be at the moment.

Bellatrix has her hold on my hair, forcing my head back, questioning where I had gotten The Sword of Gryffindor.

I sob how I didn't know. I beg for her to let me go. Please just let me go, I silently beg. I'm tackled onto the floor. Her slick curls frame over me as she yells repeatedly. I beg her to let me go. Instead I get the sharp stabbing pains of her cruciatus curses.

My body spasms beneath her as I let out an ear-piercing scream. I turn away to avoid her rotten face. That's when I see him.

His soulless grey-blue eyes stare into mine. Sadness washing over them as they're forced to watch me whither. Memories flood my mind when I hear Bellatrix silently cast a legilimens spell on me.

>>

"Did you know your eyes are a grey-bluish color?" I say looking up at the stars. I hear him turn to his side to look at me. I don't need to look at him to know his full attention is on me.

"No they're just grey," he protests.

"No. Your eyes appear to be grey, but when you look close enough, you can see a faint blue that circles around the pupil. Anyone can see close as day."

"No love, just you."

I finally turn to face him. I love him.

>>

When I return to full consciousness, I hear Bellatrix yell out traitor. She shoots another crucio at me. "Ple-lease," I sob, "I didn't do anything."

Before I knew it she was taking out a dagger. My eyes widen. I continue to sob uncontrollably. I look to Draco for help. "Please," I whisper.

I feel the witch to start carving something into my left forearm. He begins to step forward but his mother holds him back.

This wasn't an ordinary dagger, it felt like poison was running through my veins.  I gasp and scream. I look to my left to find the word Mudblood carved into my skin. Tears stream from my eyes. I black out on the floor.

I wake up to the sounds of creakily. That's when I noticed that it was coming from the chandelier above me. Bellatrix moves away right before the chandelier comes crashing down.

It's pathetic how I layed there with my eyes closed hoping my death could be quick. But I feel arms grab and pull me away before the impact. I'm disappointed when I'm faced with the blue-green eyes of Ron.

I'm too groggy to understand what everyone is shouting for, but the last thing I see before apparating away was a blonde-headed boy.

May 2, 1998, Hogwarts

I've lost count of how many days it's been since I've seen Draco, but I knew next time I did see him I wouldn't run. Not anymore.

I love Draco.

Harry is going to finally put an end to this madness, but at a cost. In order for Voldemort, Harry had to as well. My first love.

"It hurts," I sob into Ron's shoulder as Harry runs off to the Forbidden Forest.

"I know Mione," he holds me as he pets my hair down, "I know." No he doesn't. Not in the way I'm hurting in.

>>

Harry's gone. We all know it as we see Hagrid carry such a lifeless body. The sounds that Ginny made. It broke my heart. Years blur my vision, the only thing I can make out in the crowd was a family of blondes. I wipe my eyes and make out Draco.

He was alive.

His eyes are searching among the crowd until his eyes find mine. I see his shoulders visibly relax. He was looking for me.

Hermione

I look around to see who was calling me.

It's me love.

I look back at Draco. Tears start falling. Draco I lo-

Don't say it, not now. Not until the Dark Lord is dead and you're in my safe in my arms.

I nod.

I'm sorry my love.

What?- I start to hear commotion happening around me. That's when I see the Sword of Godric Gryffindor in the hands of Neville and hear a thud across the courtyard.

Harry. He was alive.

"Potter!" Draco's voice catches my attention. He throws his wand towards Harry and he catches successfully.

"Nooo," Voldemort shrieks. Everything happens too quickly. He turns towards Draco and uses the Killing Curse.

"Noooooo!" I scream as I watch his body fall to the floor. The Death Eaters retreat and apparate away.

I run towards Draco before anyone can lay a finger on him and cast a powerful shield around us.

His grey-eyes were open and lifeless. I hold him in my arms and sob.

"Draco, please. I-I never got to say it. Please, I love you. I love you. IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou." I say it repeatedly, rocking him, until my spell fell.

Wizards and witches were surrounded around us. I feel a hand on my shoulder. It was Harry, holding up his wand in the air, casting a lumos. Everyone was. I look back at Draco and close his eyes and kiss his forehead. I cry. I just cry. Only love can hurt like this.

"I love you."
