Chapter 17: Reunion

January passed and Draco still hadn't woken up. Hermione was getting depressed and the only thing holding her together was the baby. Ginny forced her to eat and sleep for him. Hermione spent her time watching over Draco and her grades were dropping visibly. She was sinking into depression and if Draco didn't come out of the coma in the following days, his friends were afraid that she would do something stupid. Blaise was the one who had become closest to Hermione even Ginny wasn't that close. Maybe because he was going through the same thing and he understood it bestHermione had put on a stomach. She had decided to keep him because she had seen that Draco wanted him. He was going to be a dad and before sinking into unconsciousness had whispered to him that he would be a happy man if he became a dad even at 14 years old. Her belly was rounding visibly as she only entered her 3rd month of pregnancy. Ginny had forced him to get checked out by the nurse who had assured her the baby was fine.But on this February 5, Hermione broke down. She ran into Draco's room and pulled out of the closet, one of Draco's shirts which she held to her face to smell his scent. He missed his kisses, he missed his caresses, he missed his smell, he missed his muscular arms that surrounded him, he missed his smile, he missed his steel-blue eyes. Basically, she missed him terribly. She lay down on the Slytherin's bed and burst into tears again."Draco, come back to me!" You promised not to leave me! Come back to me !! »Meanwhile, Ginny was heading towards the infirmary. She wanted to see Draco, she had to see Draco. She entered the room and headed for the bed where the blonde was still sleeping. He looked so peaceful. She looked at him before saying:"Malfoy, you need to wake up!" We're losing Hermione and if she dives, she takes your baby with her. You will lose them both! So I'm begging you, wake up!! »Suddenly, as if by magic, Draco's eyelids fluttered and rested on the pretty redhead who opened her eyes wide:"Hi Weasley," Draco whispered, smiling at her.- Oh Malfoy! You woke up!- Yes, as you see. I was sick of the dark," Draco joked.In a burst of joy, Ginny hugged him tightly."Miss Weasley, drop him, you'll choke him!"- Sorry Mrs."Draco smiled and Madam Pomfrey examined him."Well, I've never seen someone who just came out of a coma in such good shape." Your wrists are completely healed but never do that again. Otherwise, I'll leave the marks to you."Yes ma'am," Draco replied.Draco looked at Ginny and suddenly looked distraught."Hermione, the baby, how are they?!"- Well, I have to say that's kind of why I'm here. Hermione is not well at all. She is completely depressed. And I'm afraid it will have an impact on the baby! »Draco sat up abruptly."Easy Mr. Malfoy!" »But Draco wasn't listening anymore. He dressed very quickly still under the reprimands of Madame Pomfrey.At the same time, Hermione took out of her box the beautiful white dress that Draco had given her for Christmas. She put it on and wandered the halls barefoot wearing just the strapless dress. It must have been max 0 outside but the cold didn't stop Hermione. She had decided to join Draco:

"Why stay to grow oldIn this world where you are no longerDo we have the right to chooseWhen the one we love for you kills himselfDon't try to understand usLook no further from usBurning with love leaves you in ashesBut stay hidden in the cold at homeI am dying of loveI am dying of love"She went out into the winter cold and walked barefoot in ankle-deep snow:"Draco, DracoLife without you is just a wordDraco I love you too muchSo that tonight the day goes downWithout the taste of you on my mouthDraco, DracoI'm coming wait for me up thereRomeo I love you too muchSo that tomorrow the day dawnsWithout the taste of you on my lips"She looked up at the star-studded sky as Draco looked out the infirmary window:"Weasley look! But she's crazy, she's going to freeze to death!!- Maybe you will be in painI got so much for youI leave you with your hateBut let me go away from youMe, I'm dying of loveMe, I'm dying of love"He finished putting on his shoes and rushed down the halls leaving Ginny to watch Hermione through the window in anguish. Hermione walked towards the lake and stopped in front of it, contemplating the view:"Draco, DracoLife without you is just a wordDraco I love you too muchSo that tonight the day goes downWithout the taste of you on my mouth"Draco was running breathlessly. It didn't look like he had just come out of a month-long coma. He was running, running, running towards the exit of the castle. Hermione, she stepped into the lake. Her feet were cold, but she walked through the icy water, one hand on her plump stomach:"Draco, DracoI'm coming wait for me up thereDraco I love you too muchSo that tomorrow the day dawnsWithout the taste of you on my lips"As she was going to take another step into the black and icy waters of the lake, she recognized a voice behind her which made her stop her gesture. This voice that she would recognize among a thousand, this voice that whispered to her so tenderly that he loved her, this voice that she thought she would never hear again:"If I were you, I wouldn't do that"She turned and looked at the blonde angel standing by the lake. The water was up to her knees now and the bottom of her dress was soaked. She got out of the water and ran to lay in his arms. She wrapped her legs around Draco's waist and let tears of joy flow. She kissed him all over his face:"Oh I missed you so much my angel- You too sweetheart "He hugged her tightly. He didn't want to part with her anymore, ever!
