The Law of Magic

Chapter 39

Hermione's POV

When we were finally pulled back to reality, I looked up and pointed my wand towards our enemies.

"How could you, Blaise? We trusted you! Ginny trusted you!" Blaise looked away and in his eyes flared a glimpse of guilt that quickly vanished.

"I knew you we couldn't trust you, Zabini!" Harry exclaimed after I did and pointed his hand towards Blaise.

"Blaise..." Drake called, confused. "What? Why?

Harry then turned to Drake and glared at him. "What if you're in this too?"

I widened my eyes. "Harry! Don't say that! You know he's changed!"

"Yeah! I thought Zabini changed too! Now, he's gotten worse! He's helping the deatheaters directly, 'Mione! They took our friends! They took Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Molly!" His eyes were red representing his anger as he looked straight at my hazel eyes.

"Potter, no! I swear I didn't know anything!" Drake shook his head, turning his head to me, his eyes pleading for me to believe him.

"Why you would you believe him when his own father is the mastermind of all this!" Lestrange laughed, deranged.

Footsteps sounded beside us and we all turned our heads to the left, a man in a deatheater mask is walking towards us with a wand in his right hand. Lucius Malfoy? Did he really...

I looked around to my fianće. Did he...he wouldn't...right?

"Draco, come to us," the man called for our blonde haired companion, the voice proving that he is Lucius.

"What? What are you doing? Weren't you the one who encouraged me to go back to school to fix my mistakes and our family name, to have a proper relationship with Mia?" Drake fired one question to another as he shook his head.

"Mia? You mean the mudblood? Did you really think that I would support a relationship of a pureblood with a mudblood? Let alone for you to have a relationship with a mudblood? You? My son?" Lucius shook his head before continuing his speech. "Did you really think that we could restore our family's name? The only thing we can do to restore it is to rule the wizarding world!" He gestured for Drake to come to him. "Now, come here, son. Help me and your uncle to fix things for our family. Let us show this world what it means to mess with Malfoys."

Drake stepped forward and I tried to stop him by pulling his hand. "P-please, don't. You've changed! You know you have!"

"Please, stop dreaming you stupid mudblood! Draco is a pureblood! He would never truly love you!" Lestrange remarked, laughing as I feel my heart breaking when Draco removed my hand from his.

Tears built up in my eyes as I pleaded to him. "P-please...Drake..."

He raised his head, anger brimming in them. "Take it back."

"W-what? Drake...I..." What did he mean? What am I going to take back? Our relationship? Our bond?

I can imagine Lucius smirking in victory watching me breaking while Harry fumed and pointed his wand to Draco.

"Not you, Mia." What?

"Father...no...Lucius..." He pointed his wand towards his father. "Take back what you said about my fianće. She's not a mudblood! If anything she's more pure than the two of us can ever be!"

My eyes widened at his statement but at the same time I felt myself feel relieved as did Harry.

He truly cares. I should’ve never doubted him, even for a few seconds. I thought that I couldn't have liked him more than I already do but no. Because today I can officially say...

I love you, Draco Malfoy.

Yet again, another short chapter. I'll try making them longer in the next ones. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! <33
