It Never to Late

Stay With Me

CHAPTER 4

*Hermione's POV*

Draco walked slowly over to me after Ron was on the ground

He kneeled down beside me on the opposite side Hugo was on I rolled over just in time to see his anger filled black eyes, from Ron, to back to the original silver color that I loved

He reached down and pushed a strand of hair that was in my face behind my ear

I saw him glance at Hugo for a moment before returning his eyes back to me

*Draco's POV*

I looked at Hugo he knew what I wanted to do, again, I couldn't help but wonder why I felt a weird connection to this kid.....he gave me a nod slightly and I scooped Hermione up in my arms

She laid her head on my chest and I felt my heart beat increase and I was sure she could feel it

I tried to calm down as I heard her speak "thank you Draco....you saved us both" she looked at me and I could tell she was on the verge of tears

"Don't worry about it Hermione" I said

She felt perfect in my arms. Just like she was made for them...I never wanted to let her go, but I knew I had too at some point

Just not anytime soon

"Well me and Hugo better go...." but she made no move to get out of my arms

"Where are you going to stay? You can't go back to him"

"I have to Draco" she said slowly again like she didn't want to "Hugo and Rose need a home"

"No Mum!" Hugo yelled "you can't go back! And I'm not going!" Hugo yelled "mommy he will hurt you again..." He said with tears in his eyes "Rose wouldn't want you to go back either" this time he let a few tears slip out of his eyes before wiping them off and erasing any trace of them being there

He was just like his mother.....he hated to show weakness

"Alright we will stay at the Leakey Cauldron until we Rose gets back from Hogwarts....then we have to go home" she said while she turned slightly to face him

Hearing her say that made me realizes that I wasn't going to let that happen "no" I said simply

Hermione and Hugo looked at me with a confused look on both of there faces until Hugo's face lit up with realization,

'I guess I'm not the only one who feels this weird connection' I thought

I looked back at Hermione "No. You won't EVER go back to him, and no you aren't stay at the Leakey Cauldron" I smiled "your going to stay at the manor with me" I looked at Hugo "both of you...please....stay with me?"

Hugo still had a smile on his face as he mouthed the words 'thank you' over and over again

Hermione smiled....

But then as soon as it came....it was gone "what about your parents?" She asked slowly... "They wouldn't let a mudblood and her half-blood child stay in there home" she she frowned

"Don't call yourself that!" I practically yelled

As soon as I said it I regretted it....her eyes shown with fear 'DAMN IT!' I yelled in my head she had gone so long with being abuse like that and I just brought it all back....

"I'm sorry....so so sorry"

She reached up and touched my face as tears filled my eyes....I was so stupid
