Blood Red, Snow White | Dramione ✔

16. The Movement

Harry, Ron, Ginny, Blaise, Theo, Luna, Pansy, Lavender, Neville, Daphne and Draco all stood outside the hospital door waiting anxiously for the healers to come out.

Draco and the experts had finished brewing the potion just the day before. There was a 75% chance of the potion working, and the other 25%, well let's just say that Draco didn't even take it into account. He was absolutely positive.

The door opened and two healers stepped out. The air was suddenly so thick that Draco found it hard to breathe.

Healer Brandon clamped a hand on Draco's back and shook his head. Draco watched him as he sighed and then pinched the bridge of his nose. Draco didn't have a good feeling about this. Not At all.

Harry stepped up.

"Did it work?"

Draco was searching for the healer's face for the 'Surprise. It worked!', but found none.

The tension was thick.

" Speak up, you", Ron growled.

Healer Brandon narrowed his eyes at him and then turned to Draco.

" I'm sorry Draco."-Draco's heart stopped.-"but we couldn't save her. It's like as if she doesn't want to come out of it. We tried, but...", he trailed off.

"What do you mean you couldn't save her?", All heads turned to see a very angry redhead whose wand hand was clenching and unclenching.

"It means we couldn't save her from the coma. Otherwise, she's alive. For now. "

Harry let out a shaky breath. He had lost too many people in this war. He couldn't lose her. Not her.

Draco felt a hand on his shoulder but he didn't turn to look who it was.

Tears welled up in Pansy's eyes as she saw how heartbroken Draco looked. She couldn't imagine herself being in his place. With Blaise in Hermione's. No, no she couldn't.

Draco felt a person embrace him but he didn't respond. He just stood there with his arms hanging limp on his sides. The person was Theo. He rubbed Draco's back and Draco thought he heard him sniff. Because Theo and cry would never go together.

"She's going to be fine you know.", said a dreamy voice. Draco's head turned up and saw Luna standing in front of him, her hand on Theo's shoulder. No matter how crazy people thought her to be, Draco couldn't help but feel comforted by her words.

" She's waiting. For you."

At this, all heads turned towards her so she continued.

" She needs a reason, Draco. A reason to come back. Something worth coming back for. And it's you."

Draco shook his head.. "S-She doesn't l-l-". He was interuppted by a very fierce looking Neville.

" Don't even think about completing that sentence. I saw it Malfoy"

Draco raised his brows in question.

"In her eyes."

"What did you see?", Blaise drawled.

" Him.", Neville pointed towards Draco.

" I saw you. And only you."

Draco was quite confused. He knew Longbottom was just trying to make him go inside the room and speak to her limp form.

She couldn't possibly love him, could she?. No, no she couldn't. She wouldn't.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts and then looked around. All eyes were staring at him.

" Fine."

******

Draco inhaled sharply when he saw Hermione lying on the bed. Her complexion as pale as his own and not a hint of color on her face. Her oh so beautiful eyes closed and her big mouth closed. Her hands resting on either sides of her thighs.

Draco made his way over to the bed and sat down beside her. He took her hand in his own and realised how small and....fragile she was. Draco held it carefully as though afraid it might break at any moment. He then kissed her palm and then each one of her knuckles. And then held it against his chest. His heart.

He wanted to speak but he couldn't. Words weren't forming in his mouth like he thought they would upon seeing her. He didn't know where to start.

"H-hermione. Hermione.", he repeated her name. And each time she didn't respond, his voice broke a little.

"Please don't leave me. Not now. Not ever."

"Please", he begged.

" Open your eyes. Just once. Just tell me you're in there. Just show me a sign. It's so hard without you. I haven't even spent so much time with you, but somehow between hating you and becoming friends with you, I fell for you. I fell for you hard. So Damn hard that it hurts. Here." He pressed her hand to his chest tightly.

" I finally felt complete when the war was over. When we were free. When you were free. But then you left. All of a sudden. "

Draco sniffed and willed himself not to cry.

" These past 5 months have been nothing less than torture for me. You know Harry proposed to Ginny and she said yes.. Blaise and Pansy are engaged too. Ron and Lavender, and Theo and Luna are dating too. It's just Longbottom who's too afraid to ask Daphne out, but practically they are a couple too. And then it just leaves me alone.", he chuckled half heartedly.

"Please come back."

"I want to apologise for my past. I want to seek redemption. I want to take away your pain. I want nothing but to have you all for myself. I want you Granger. I need you."

"Don't leave me alone in a time like this. I won't be able to make it. I won't. Everybody dies but that doesn't mean that you shut yourself out. Please don't do this to me. Your parents wouldn't want to see you like this. Please open your eyes. Please. ", tears were now flowing through his eyes.

" I love you Hermione Granger and I'll do anything in my power to bring you back.", with that he got up and was about to lower her hand when he felt it twitch. He thought he had imagined it so he lowered it and placed it gently on the bed. And that's when she gasped. And the monitor beeped.

Hermione's POV

I ran and ran as fast as I could, into the woods, and away from the Dark cloud that followed me everywhere I went. I grabbed a tree trunk for support and panted. My knees were hurting and my feet were bloodied. I don't know how long I've been in here or how I even came here, but I want to go back.

I see a bright light in front of me and I become hopeful. I run towards it and it gets further away with each step I take. I slow down and that's when I hear someone talking. To me.

"I want to apologise for my past. I want to seek redemption. I want to take away your pain. I want nothing but to have you all for myself. I want you Granger. I need you."

I hear this and my heart picks up pace. It was him. He had come for me again.
I run towards the light again but it still goes further away. I cry out and reach out my hand and that's when I was hit with a blinding flash of green and I gasped, letting life slip out of me.

With ease.
