A story in which Draco and Hermione run away with wone another and six years later, Gryffindors find out. I started this two years ago, and thought I would attempt to bring it some life!

"Speaking of," Hermione started, she reached into her pocket and plucked the purple mesh bag from its resting place in her pajamas. "What does this mental contraption say to do?" She pondered with a facial expression that could only describe the events of their morning.
She untied the drawstring and uncinched the opening, plucking the card from the bag. She read the note once, proceeded to do a double take and read it again. Draco watched her eyes intently and when he noticed them furrow, he made his inquiry's, "what?" She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, she held the card in-between her pointer and her middle finger flicking her hand in his direction,
"You need to burn all that dried mistletoe in the back yard." And with that he cautiously took the paper and watched as she shook her head, walk into their bedroom, and close the door. Finally, he looked down at the note, and right below the instructions of how to use the crystals and the sage lay this message in a loopy and whimsical script written in purple ink,
These things may prevent Nargles, but once a home is infested, the only known way to eradicate them is to rid the home of mistletoe as this is where they breed and find shelter.
Draco slowly lowered his hand from eye level, and if on cue, a certain orange cat waddled his way into the room, sat by Draco's feet, looked at the note which had the words facing him, and looked inquisitively up at draco. How? Said the furball
"I have no idea." Draco responded in jest.

She looked down at her plate. She wasn't hungry at all. She didn't want to eat, but she had to. She had to be here for Melody. Melody needed her. Or she needed someone. Someone that could take care of her. She didn't eat at all.
After the feast, Draco waited outside the Great Hall. She walked towards him. He noticed and began to speak before she could. "Hey, I'm sorry for all those years and so are my friends. We just didn't know any better then because we were raised that way."
"Like I said, I already forgave you." She answers him. "Now, do you want to go to our common room and dorms?"
"I would like that." He answers with a small smile. "You didn't look surprised when McGonagall said I was the head girl. How come? I wasn't on the train ride you couldn't have known."
"McGonagall told me on the train. Because you weren't there and she thought it was necessary for me to know before the announcement in the Great Hall. And besides, who else could be head girl? You have the highest scores in every subject! I can't even beat you!" He answered desperately, but it was obvious that he was acting like it.
"Come on. It's on the seventh floor. It is hidden behind a painting. It's near the Room of Requirement" she points out. "Wasn't that destroyed by Crabbe?"
'He can't know that it still exists. He'd find out about Melody...'She thought."Yeah, I meant, where it was." She say with doubt in her voice. He must have noticed because he looks at her with a raised eyebrow.
"What, did I say something wrong? " Hermione asks him. "No, but you weren't sure. That's not like you at all."
"War changed us all, that includes me" she sighs.
