Pura Relevium: Pure Relief 

Chapter 02

Hermione saw a bright light once she opened her eyes. She blinked. The memories of the previous day flooded into her mind, informing of Voldemort's defeat. Then she remembered.

"Draco!" She cries as she sprang upright on her bed.

"Hermione!" Ginny shouted appearing at her side, wrapping her arms around her best friend.

"Thank Merlin you're ok. You passed out on me." She said in a rush.

"Ginny...Draco... Draco he..." Hermione whimpered.

"He's alive! He survived Hermione. He survived."

Sobs of relief erupted through Hermione's body.

"I need to see him" she said getting out of her bed, realizing that she was already in the infirmary.

"But you need to rest!"

However, Ginny knew that there was no point convincing Hermione and silently lead her to the bed where Draco laid, in a quiet conversation with Harry.

" Draco!" Hermione cried as she raced towards her boyfriend wrapping her arms around his neck.

The silver-eyes boy draped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his warm embrace.

"Mione..." he whispered as he kissed her.

" I'm going to kill you when you get better." Hermione threatened through her tears of relief.

Draco raised his arms in mock surrender before hugging her again with a contented sigh. A laugh sounded from behind them and they turned to see Harry with his arm around Ginny.

"Well you seem to be in trouble mate." Harry said." She actually has a pretty solid punch."

"Tell me about it. I had first hand experience in the third year. I think she actually might be the death of me."

Hermione rolled her eyes. Draco laughed and moved aside letting Hermione sit on the bed beside him.

The doors opened and Kingsley Shacklebolt, the newly appointed Minister of Magic entered the room accompanied by Professor Mcgonagall, the newly declared headmistress of Hogwarts.

" I've been informed by Mr. Potter that you, Mr. Malfoy and the rest of the Slytherins were in our side all along." Shacklebolt said.

Draco nodded his head in confirmation.

" Unfortunately, we still have to put you through a trail and view your memories through a pensieve to declare you not guilty."

Draco nodded his head again. He had expected this.

"Minister, my parents?" he asked I surely and Hermione gently squeezed his arm offering him support.

"Lucius Malfoy was sentenced to life in Azkaban. " he replied. "Mrs. Malfoy is under the care of the headmistress as she deemed it would be unwise for her to have her trail before your complete recovery."

"Thank you professor" Draco whispered his voiced laced with gratefulness.

"We'll leave you to rest."

It was late evening when Draco woke up again. He looked down and smiled when he saw the sleeping form next to him. Hermione's infamous bushy hair spread wildly around the pillow. To Draco, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever set his eyes upon.

His smile faded as he remembered the matters that he still had to take care of. The war maybe over but he still had many responsibilities to uphold. Sighing he got out of the bed and looked around for something appropriate to wear outside.

Hermione woke up just as she finished dressing.

"Draco, where are you going?" She asked confused.

"I have to take care of some things, my love. I'll be take soon ." He said leaning in to give her a kiss.

"I'll come with you she said as they broke apart.

Together they walked through the corridors of Hogwarts till they reached the Slytherin common room. The rest of the Slytherins had been confined there till their trails as a security measure by the ministry.

As soon as they enters Draco was attacked with hugs.

"Don't you dare scare us like that again!" Yelled Pansy.

" Sod off Blaise!" Draco yelled as Blaise attempted to kiss his cheek.

Theo looked thoroughly relieved as he hugged Draco.

The banter soon wore off as Draco grabbed Theo's arm and lead him out of the common room. The others followed them knowing without asking what was going on. Theo held his breath as Draco dragged him through the never ending halls fearing the news he had for him. He prayed that she was alive and well.

"Draco... Is she...Is she alive?" Theo whispered.

Draco's answer was cut off by the sneering snark of Cormac Mclaggen who seemed to be on patrol with a guard.

"What are you traitors doing out of Azkaban?"

"Mclaggen, I have better things to do than argue with you about this." Draco smirked confidently at the guard who stepped aside and let them pass.

"How..." Mclaggen said turning red in the face.

Draco simply smirked and walked right past him. The group came to stop before the Room of Requirement. Draco entered the room.

Theo after taking a deep breath and sending out a silent prayer followed him inside.
