After a War ((Old Copy))

Chapter 13 Book 1

After A War

She felt safe, warm, like the world had faded away and all she had to do was hold on. She needed him to not hurt anyone, to not feel the urge to snap at anyone he saw, to not snap at her. She felt like the world had folded in on her, it grabbed her heart and threw it around from Draco to Ron, but Draco grabbed her heart and ran while Ron was too slow to keep up. She had fallen in love with the death eater that was forced to be bad, that was forced to attempt to kill Dumbledore, that had to argue with his father as his mother cried watching the dark mark tattooed to his arm and mark him as a servant of Voldemort. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and she never wanted to let go.

"I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear.

"I shouldn't have asked you to change." She replied, letting go of the hug and holding him at arems length.

"I shpouldnt have put you in a position to make you want me to change." He said. She smiled at him.

"I love you." She whispered as she hugged him again.

"Never let go." He whispered In her ear, sending a tingle down her spine with thewthew warm breath on her neck.

"I won't." She whispered back. They stayed in silence for a few minutes.

"Hermione! Draco!" Somebody yelled. Hermione looked at Destiny standing by her friends.

"Who's that?" Draco asked.

"Destiny, she's helping us with Fred." Hermione explained as she pulled him towards the group of friends waiting.

"Fred? I thought that was George? Has he been pretending to be the other the entire time?" Draco asked.

"No, Fred is alive and a ghost but nobody but me knows so keep it quiet." Hermione said. They arrived at their friends.

"Bella said she knew nothing about a bomb in the great Hall." Neville said.

"I have an idea but we need to go back to the castle." Hermione said.

"But we're not allowed in the castle right now." Ginny said.

"Soince when do we follow rules?" Harry asked.

"Never, let's go!" Luna said happily as she held Neville and Hermione's hand. They held hands in a circle and appeared in the gryffindor common room.

"Why are we here?" Everyone asked Hermione.

"Whoever put that bomb in the hall had a reason, it couldn't have just been a prank. George why would you do if youy were alone in the castle?" Hermione asked.

"Ruin the prefect bathrooms of course." George said.

"Then let's go." Hermione said leading the way.

"Why do you think that this bomber has the same mind set as me?" George asked as they walked.

"Just a guess." Hermione said. A red wolf walked up to them and turned into a human. Maya stood up straight and smoothed her robes.

"Iv been roaming the castle and I found something." Maya said.

"Lead the way then." Hermione said happily. She really wanted to tell Maya that George liked her but that was for another day. Maya took them to the prefects bathroom. Water leaked through the bottom of the door. It opened and they walked into thre flooded and disgustingly dirty room. Out stank like death and the only positive thing was that there were no actual dead bodies in the room. Something sprang up from inside one of the stalls and laughed hysterically. It met their gaze. More specifically,it met Georges gaze.

"Fred?" George asked.

"George?" Fred asked. He floated down to his brother and hugged him tightly.

"How?"

"Well obviously I'm not alive but I thought I ended up in the future when I couldn't find anyone I recognized but Mcgonagall but we all know she's gonna live forever." Fred said happily.

"I'm so glad your here." George said as he tightened his grip on his dead brother.

"Nice to see ya Fred." Draco said. Harry, Ginny and Hermione were already in tears. Ginny had wrapped her arms around both boys.
