kinda sad one shot!
Hermione's screams echoed all throughout the Malfoy Manor as Bellatrix dugged her knife through Hermione's wrist, writing the word
M U D B L O O D
Draco ran to the room where his secret lover was lying on the floor with a forming pool of blood that was lying on the floor beside her.
Ever since she found him in the Myrtle's bathroom crying, they have been seeing each other a lot and have been each other's crying shoulder. One night, Draco finally asked her if she would be his girlfriend and Hermione was more than delighted to hear this. She agreed and they have been secretly dating since. Draco told Hermione about his task about killing Dumbledore and him taking the dark mark and to his surprise, she stayed by his side, not leaving him alone even once.
And now, here he was - watching the girl he loved being tortured by his deranged aunt. Though they haven't said the three little words to each other yet, they both knew that they both loved each other so much and no word can ever describe their feelings.
"Stop! Get away from Hermione!" He screamed from the top of his lungs.
"Oooh, look who we have here? Friends with the mudblood here, are we?" Bellatrix said, her lips curving into a disturbing smile.
"Don't. Call. Her. THAT!" Draco shouted, punctuating every word with a crucio thrown at his aunt.
He was about to bombard his aunt with more crucios when Hermione spoke, coughing up blood because of the crucios she took earlier.
"Draco," Hermione breathed, "don't."
Draco looked at Hermione who he thought looked - even in the midst of her torture - beautiful as always. Beautifully broken.
Hermione was his angel, his light, his savior.
And she was telling him to not kill his aunt, so he obliged and ran to her instead when Lucius pointed his wand at Draco's back.
"No!" Hermione cried.
"Ava - "
"Expelliarmus!" Narcissa said as Lucius' wand flew straight into her hands.
"Cissy?" Lucius and Bella both looked shockingly at Narcissa who was also shocked by her sudden action.
"Bloody hell..." Ron muttered as he saw what had just happened.
While Lucius and Bellatrix were distracted, the golden trio, Luna along with Draco, and some other prisoners tried to escape.
"Petrificus Totalus!" Draco said as he directed his wand at Lucius.
Lucius was so shocked about how his wife had the audacity to do that to him that he wasn't able to react so the spell got to him.
Ron did the same to Bellatrix as both of their frozen bodies fell to the floor.
Hermione gave Draco a weak smile as Draco carried her weak and bloody body in his arms. She knew he would've used an unforgivable if he wanted to, but he followed what Hermione had reminded him of and so he used a much lighter one instead.
Draco kissed Hermione's forehead before Dobby apparated the six of them to a house, somewhere. They decided to bring Narcissa along as she had no where to go. Both Ron and Harry felt pity for Draco and Narcissa when they witnissed how they were controlled by Lucius so they agreed with it.
"Love, I am so so sorry. I tried to get to you as soon as I can but I had to go free Weasley and Potter and Luna and the other prisoners with Dobby. I'm sorry, Mi. I should've done it sooner and now you're hurt and – "
Tears formed in Draco's silver eyes.
"Shhh. Dray, I'm alright now that I'm with you and I would've probably been dead if you didn't come rescue me."
Draco held her tighter as he cried into the crook of her neck.
"Shhh...It's alright, love. You're okay, I'm okay. Everything's going to be okay."
"I-I love you..." Draco said as he tucked a stray piece of Hermione's hair behind her ear.
"I love you, too."
Luna was happy, but not surprised since she did walk in on Draco and Hermione cuddling one day. They also told her everything since they knew Luna wouldn't say a word to anybody if they told them but she was still just as happy for her two close friends.
Narcissa was proud and happy as she saw the glint in Draco's eyes as he heard Hermione say the L-word back to him. Narcissa was just proud that she raised her one-and-only son to one day grow up, fall in love, and eventually start a family of his own.
Ron was happy for Hermione as she finally moved on from him. He could finally tell them about how he proposed to Daphne. He knew that Hermione deserved someone better than him and he was glad to see she has found someone already and he was ready to give Draco a chance if he makes her that happy.
Harry was happy for his best friend as he saw how happy she was in Draco's arms despite the fact that the war was still going on and not one person knows what's going to happen tomorrow or the next second.
All Harry knew was that at least if they lose the battle and Voldemort ends up killing him, at least he leaves his loved ones happy.
