Something Unexpected (A Dramione Story)

Chapter 25

Draco’s POV:

‘What if she doesn’t wake up?’ I said going from the one end of the waiting room to the other end.
‘Malfoy can you please just sit down? You’re frustrating me.’ Ron said.
‘What if she doesn’t survive it?’ I said ignoring Ron.
‘What if we were too late?’ I said.
‘Mate sit down!’ Blaise said.
‘What if…’ I started.
‘Draco, this isn’t helping her and if she was here she would laugh at you.’ Harry said.
I looked at Harry who was sitting with his arm around Ginny’s shoulders to comfort her. I nodded and sat down next to Blaise.
‘Thank you!’ Ron said.
I rolled my eyes and started to move my legs.
‘Bloody hell Malfoy! Stop moving!’ Ron said frustrated.
I wanted to stop but I was just too worried. I couldn’t stop moving. They were trying to rescue Hermione from death. I knew the St. Mungo healers were doing the best they could to safe her, but what if they were really too late?

*Flash back*

‘Draco?’ I heard behind me.
I turned my head and saw my mother behind me.
‘Wha-what happened here?’ She asked concerned while she fast ran towards me.
‘He tortured her, I- I don’t know what to do! She’s dying! I can’t lose her!’ I said.
‘Did you came here alone?’ She asked.
‘No.’ I said.
‘Go apparate to St. Mungo’s hospital.’ She said.
‘What about the others?’ I asked.
‘I’ll tell them to come when they come here.’ She said.
‘What about father?’ I asked.
‘I’ll handle that one too.’ She said.
‘Go fast, before it’s too late!’ She said.
‘Thank you.’ I said and I apparated.
We were in the hospital and a few witches were looking at us.
‘Help us!’ I said.
They ran towards us and they took Hermione with them. One witch led me the way to the waiting room and said I had to wait here. After a few minutes what seemed like hours Blaise, Harry, Ginny and Ron arrived. I wanted to open my mouth to tell them what had happened.
‘Your mother told us.’ Harry said and he sat down on my right.
Ginny sat down next to him and Blaise sat down on my other side.
‘The only thing we can do now is wait.’ Blaise said.
‘Yes.’ I said.

*Flash back finished*

‘Is she okay?’ My mother asked out of the sudden.
I looked up and saw her coming towards us.
‘We don’t know that yet.’ Harry said.
‘Are you all okay?’ She asked worried.
‘Yes, thank you.’ Harry said with a small smile.
‘But not because of your husband.’ Ron snapped.
‘Ronald!’ Ginny said warning to her brother.
‘What? It’s true!’ He said.
Ginny gave him a deadly glare.
‘Lucius hasn’t really changed since the war.’ My mother said softly.
‘But most people did!’ Ginny said looking at her brother.
Ron rolled his eyes.
‘Can I do anything?’ My mother asked.
‘No unfortunately the only thing we can do is wait.’ I said.
She nodded.
‘If you need anything, send an owl.’ She said and she went away.
We waited for hours.

‘Draco? Draco wake up.’ Someone said shaking my arm,
I opened my eyes and Ginny shook my arm.
‘What? Can we come to her?’ I asked sitting up.
‘Er-.’ Ginny said.
I looked at her and saw she had tears rolling over her cheeks.
‘Something happened?’ I asked.
‘Well er…’ Ginny started but then she started crying again.
‘Ginny?’ I asked.
I looked around and saw Harry and Ron looking at the ground.
‘What?’ I asked.
‘Her-Hermione didn’t survive it.’ Harry said.
‘Not funny.’ I said.
‘He’s not joking.’ Ron said.
‘Hermione died just  a minute ago.’ Blaise said.
‘She can’t! She can’t be gone!’ I said.
‘But she is.’ Ginny said crying.
‘She can’t she’s not allowed to die.’ I said.
‘You can’t change it.’ Harry said.
‘She died and we can’t change it.’ Ron said.
‘She can’t!’ I said I felt tears rolling over my cheeks.
‘She can’t be dead!’ I said.
‘Come, then you can say goodbye to her.’ Blaise said.
I stood up and walked with Blaise to a room. We entered and there was Hermione laying on a bed. I ran towards the bed and packed Hermione’s hand. It was cold and she was unnatural pale.
‘Why?’ I said.
‘Why her? Why not me?’ I asked.
‘Don’t say that mate.’ Blaise said.
‘Why didn’t he take me and killed me instead of her?’ I said.
‘Draco!’ I heard in a distance.
‘She’s dead and you can’t change it.’ I heard behind me.
I turned around and saw it was my father.
‘YOU.’ I yelled.
‘Don’t speak to me like that!’ My father said.
I walked towards him and out of the sudden he disappeared. I walked towards the waiting room and there were Harry, Ginny and Ron laying on the ground with their eyes open.
‘I got rid of the problem.’ My father said.
‘What have you done!’ I said breathlessly.
‘Like I said solved the problems, there is only one left.’ He said.
I turned to him and he held his wand up at me.
‘AVADA KEDAVRA!’ He shouted.
‘Draco, Draco! Wake up!’ I heard.
‘MALFOY!’ I heard someone else say.
I opened fast my eyes and saw Ginny, Harry, Ron and Blaise above me.
‘What?’ I asked.
‘You were screaming.’ Ginny said softly.
‘Are you okay mate?’ Blaise asked.
‘Yeah don’t worry about me, just a nightmare.’ I said.
I wiped the sweat off of my forehead.
‘But there is news about Hermione…’ Harry said.
‘What? How is she? Is she still alive?’ I rattled.
‘She’s alive, but not very strong.’ Harry said.
‘If you had waited one more minute she would’ve been though.’ Ron said.
‘Can we see her?’ I asked.
‘Yes, but one a time.’ Ginny said.
‘So you can go first.’ She said with a small smile.
‘Thank you.’ I said softly and I stood up.
I walked towards the room where they took Hermione and knocked on the door.
‘Come in.’ I heard softly from the other side of the door.
I opened the door and walked in. There was Hermione lying in a bed.  She was pale and didn’t look great.
‘Hee.’ She said smiling.
‘Hi, are you okay?’ I asked worried coming closer.
‘Yes, here sit down.’ She said smiling.
I sat down on the chair next to her bed and packed her hand.
‘So what happened?’ Hermione asked.
I told her the story and she looked at me with widened eyes. At the end a few tears rolled over her cheeks. I stood up and hugged her. She put her arms around me and she sobbed.
‘It’s okay.’ I said softly.
‘Thank you.’ She said against my chest.
I laid next to her on her bed and she had laid her head on my chest.
‘No problem.’ I said.
‘I can’t live without you, so I had to safe you.’ I said.
Hermione looked up at me and smiled.
‘That’s so cute.’ Hermione said.
‘No one has ever said that to me before.’ She said.
‘Well it’s true.’ I said softly.
‘Draco…’ Hermione said.
‘Yes?’ I said looking down at her.
She looked into my eyes and smiled.
‘I- I love you.’ She said.
‘I love you too.’ I said.
I leaned forwards and I fell her soft lips against mine.

Hermione’s POV:

I looked around the room. One of the witches who worked here told me where I was. I was in St. Mungo’s, but I had a few questions left.
1 How did I get here?
2 Who brought me here?
3 Why am I here?
4 What happened?
and 5 where is Draco?
With that last question I started to panic a little. What if Draco was wounded too and I couldn’t remember why? Or how? Where it had happened?
Then someone knocked on the door.
‘Hee.’ I said smiling when I saw to my relieve that it was Draco who walked in.
‘Hi, are you okay?’ Draco asked worried coming closer.
‘Yes, here sit down.’ I said smiling.
Draco sat down on the chair next to my bed and he packed my hand.
‘So what happened?’ I asked.
Draco told me the story and I looked at him with widened eyes. At the end a few tears rolled over my cheeks. I could remember everything till the point I closed my eyes. Draco stood out of the sudden up and he hugged me tightly. Though he hurt me I didn’t want him to let me lose. I put my arms around him and I started to sob.
‘It’s okay.’ Draco said softly.
‘Thank you.’ I said against his chest.
Draco had laid down next to me and I hid my face into his chest.
‘No problem.’ Draco said.
‘I can’t live without you, so I had to safe you.’ He said.
I looked up at him and smiled.
‘That’s so cute.’ I said.
‘No one has ever said that to me before.’ I said.
‘Well it’s true.’ Draco said softly.
‘Draco…’ I said.
‘Yes?’ Draco said looking down at me.
I looked into Draco’s eyes and smiled.
‘I- I love you.’ I said.
‘I love you too.’ Draco said.
Draco leaned forwards and then I felt his soft lips against mine. I felt butterflies in my stomach, but then I started to get headache and my energy level was really low. Draco pulled away and looked at me.
‘Are you okay?’ He asked worried.
‘Yeah just tired.’ I said.
‘Shall I go?’ He asked.
‘NO! No please stay.’ I said.
‘Okay, don’t worry.’ Draco said softly.
He pressed me close to him and I laid my head on his chest. I closed my eyes because I was pretty tired and I heard Draco’s heartbeat through his chest. I smiled to myself and with Draco beside me and his arm around me I felt safe, as if nothing could happen to me.
