Hermione stopped just outside the Great Hall's closed doors.

"I'm sorry, what? True love? That's crazy, like completely and utterly crazy. I don't love him, that's ridiculous really. He's Draco. I mean, sure he's sweet and kind and understanding and really attractive and adorable and considerate and I'm rambling aren't I?" Hermione's cheeks flushed pink as she stared at Harry incredulously. 

"Hermione, he's dying and he needs to marry his true love. And that would be you. The soulmate spells confirm it. Unless you're not Hermione Jean Granger I'm pretty sure you're the only one who can save Draco from his impending doom." He looked Hermione up and down. "Draco Malfoy might have been an arse in the past but people can change. Bloody Hell, we all changed. So if you walk into these doors, you will get married. When you walk out, you will be Hermione Malfoy. But if you choose not to, Draco dies and you have to live with that. It's your choice but a choice that has to be made in less than ten hours because Draco dies tomorrow."

Hermione's chest stung with the thought of losing Draco. At that moment memories flooded her head. She thought of how Draco never used her and how when she was with him, he made her feel safe. Draco was never one to judge, he was always scared of being judged. The video Draco made for her, he had said he loved her. And  she realized she loved him too. 

"I'll marry Draco, Harry."
