Draco's PoV:
I rushed to his side and pried the silver chain off before it could do anymore damage. Severus immediately digging around in his cloak looking for his healing potions while my mother ran a diagnostic charm over him to check for injuries. I breathed as I see the long list appear in front of his mother. Who then explained that most of those injuries had been from his childhood which had been already been healed by Madame Pomfrey. Hades was barely moving his breathing was shallow, his fur matted with blood parts missing that had scarred and scabbed over. I look at the pitiful sight of my mate, seeing him like this makes my heart bleed. Some people are going to die! And I will make sure of that.

A week later...

I sat beside my mate holding his hand, his wolf form had bee to weak and as soon as we had gotten back to Malfoy manor he had changed back. I kept telling him that everything was going to be okay that the war was over and Dumbledore had been wiped off the face of the planet. Knowing that he was dead and that my mate was going to live was enough for me.

Uncle Sev is still not taking the fact that he was taking from him right under his nose. It broke him to see his son like this, but I understand and it isn't his fault no matter what he thinks.

Voldemort... or Tom as he says I should call him, no that we are practically going to be family. Has been trying to comfort his mate, he has been driven up the wall sitting out the ministry laws and protection rights, stripping them down and rebuilding them. All the students where sent home from Hogwarts for an extra long holiday. Some were ecstatic to get away... only to find themselves stuck in the Malfoy dungeons. Cough Cough... Granger Weasley and Weaslette Cough cough...

Just then I felt a twitch. I look up to see Hades' ginger had just twitched I sent my ferret patronis to my mother who burst in and stared to run tests she then told me that he would wake up any time soon, of course she went to tell the dark lord and Severus who not even 5 minutes later were down to see their son.

2 days later...

I was still sitting beside Hades' bedside, I couldn't leave him in case he woke up. That would be the worst thing, me leaving him here alone and him waking up alone. I was still holding his had and hadn't let go for the past 3 days. My hair was a sight my breath smelt bad and don't even get me started on the sight of my clothes. The house elves were continuing to bring my food to my bedroom where Hades was resting. I blink trying to keep my eyes open but it was no use and I gave into the darkness of sleep.

When I woke up I couldn't feel my hand in his and I shot up only to find I'm on my bed. Hades was now sitting propped up by a couple very puffy pillows. He looks down at me only to smile a weak smile, before looking back at the book he had in his hand. Sitting up I look over at him only to meet his beautiful dusty blue eyes. I take in the sight before I lean forward and kiss him softly on the lips. He immediately blushes and looks away trying to hide his face from me. I smile and start to look over his shoulder at the book he was reading.

A month later...

Oh Merlin and Morgana everything has to be perfect, I would be taking Hades out of the manor for the first time since we rescued him. And I was so excited... but that wasn't there only thing I was planning on doing. I tuck a small box into my pocket hoping he would like it. Yes I was going to ask the dark lord's son for his hand in marriage. Well... how did the dark lord take it, uhmm that's a story for another day. I decided on bringing him to a muggle restaurant that was kinda... no, really expensive, but it was worth it, the food was certainly amazing.

I stood outside the restaurant waiting for Hades to arrive, his dad would be bringing him, at least it wasn't his father, I might of had a fit if he was to show up. Finally Hades and Severus get here and as I wave Sev off I look down at my little submissive, he looked perfect. He wore a simple yet stunning outfit; ripped jeans, a white shirt with it's tail untucked and a tie hanging a little loosely around his collar. I offer my hand to him and we walk in and are lead to a booth over by the window. We order and finish our meal before ordering dessert in which I smuggled the diamond ring into.  (Picture up top)
I watch silently as Hades ate his dessert, I could barely take my eyes off him, just then I look down to my ice cream only to hear a spoon fall to the floor. I breathe in a shaky breath and get down on one knee. I look up to see his expression, he was standing there dumbfounded, "Hades Severus Riddle, will you give me the honour of marrying you?" He looks at me shock becoming over run with tears of joy which were now streaming down face.

"I...I, YES,Yes a million times yes!"
