Chapter 1
Hermione´s Pov:
The War Was Finally Over! Harry Had Killed Voldemort but that didn´t mean all the hurt and pain was gone . No, the war may have been over, but the pain was just beginning. I slowly dropped my wand from my hand and walked away from it, leaving it behind. I didn´t want to be anywhere near that life-ending machine and right now I didn´t care if I ever used magic again. Those lives I killed, sure they may have been our enemies, and sure they may have deserved it. But I didn´t want to be the one to do it I sat down on a pile of rubble and looked around, Everyone mourning for thier loved ones. I closed my eyes Gently, hoping that this was all just a bad dream.
¨Hey¨ I hear a voice say.
I open my eyes and look towards the voice. ¨Hey¨ I repeat back.
Ron sits down next to me, so close our thighs were touching.
¨Please tell me this is all a dream, A really bad dream¨ I Pleaded him.
Ron's Pov:
Hermione´s words hit me. She was hurting and I couldn´t help her. I couldn´t take the pain away I wish I could take her pain and transfer it to me, but I couldn´t, and it pained me. I slipped my arm around her waist and she layed her head on my shoulder. I felt so useless like…… like a weasley….. I just pulled Hermione close to me.
Hermione´s Pov:
I felt Ron wrap his arm around me so I layed my head on his shoulder my eyes drifted to the dark sky and I closed them feeling the wind brush against my my face. A tear Trickled down my cheek as I thought about all the people who died during the war, Lupin,Tonks,Snape,lavendar, even poor little Collin lost his life in the war. I quickly opened my eyes to the sound of Mrs. Weasley screaming. Ron and I quickly stood up and ran to Mrs., weasley, picking up my wand on the way. Once we were over with the rest of the weasleys, I was about to ask what was wrong when I gasped in horror. Fred was kneeled next to a body and Ginny was sobbing into Harry's chest. I stepped forward and saw that the body lying there was no other than George Weasley.
¨Well let you say goodbye¨ Mrs. weasley said.
The rest of the weasleys as well as Harry slowly walked away, but I stood there not wanting to leave Fred alone.
¨Georgie wake up! it's not funny anymore¨ Fred said through his sobs.
I kneeled down and placed my hand on Fred's shoulder ¨Fred……¨ I Said tears swelling up in my eyes.
¨Hermione he's not waking up! Tell him to wake up!¨
I slowly closed my eyes ¨Fred…George H-he's Gone¨. I Stuttered. I never stutter , only when I´m scared , but I haven´t been scared in a long time
¨Don´t Say That¨ Fred said sounding a bit annoyed. ¨THE JOKES OVER GEORGE¨ Fred screamed. ¨Please….Georgie ¨ he said in a soft voice, leaning onto George ,sobbing into his chest.
I looked at Fred before looking at George's pale lifeless face. I felt like crying but for freds sake I fought the tears ¨Fred I know how you feel I-¨ I started to say but Fred snapped his head to me which shut me up ¨You have no idea how I feel My brother is lying here not moving, not breathing. you have no idea how that feels you don´t have a family¨ Fred said angrily..
My breath got caught in my throat at his words. Fred slowly turned his head back to his brother. quickly stood up and walked away at a quick pace. I kept walking and didn´t stop until I was far enough away that no one could hear my cries. I sat on a pile of rubble once more. I pulled my knees up to my chest then tucked my head and bawled my eyes out. I was going to sob until I couldn´t anymore. I had held back the hurt for so long that I couldn´t hold it in anymore. I let the tears flow down my cheek. I heard the sound of footsteps coming near and I wiped my wet cheeks, which only smeared the blood that was all over my face
¨Granger? ¨ I heard a voice say and I looked up to see who it was coming from.
Chapter 2
Fred´s Pov:
I watched Hermione walk away and mentally slapped myself. How could I say that to her? I at least had other family, she didn´t, she was all alone. I looked at George one last time.
¨Wait for me Georgie¨ I said before closing his grey dull eyes.
I stood up and looked around for Hermione but she was no where to be seen. I rushed over to Ron,Harry, and Ginny ¨ Have you guys seen Hermione?¨ I asked all three of them and they all shooke thier head. I sighed and walked away. I´ll just wait for her to come back, give her time to calm down. She´ll come back……..right?
Draco´s Pov:
I was walking, looking down at my feet, trying to avoid all the dead bodies around me, when the I heard sounds of a female crying and I looked over to see Hermione
¨Granger?¨ I asked trying to make out who it was.
Hermione looked up as I spoke. ¨What do you want Malfoy?¨ She asked.
I slowly walked over to her and sat beside her. I expected her to push me away but she scooted closer to me. I started to shake a little as I put my arm around her. I was so scared she was gonna hex me but she didn´t she layed her head on my shoulder and I sighed in relief.
¨Um…I´m sorry about that… Ahem¨ I said and she sighed.
¨I know¨ she said.
I patted her head stood up and stretched ¨Come on… I want to show you something¨.
I put my hand out to her. Hermione smiled gently and grabbed my hand. I held her hand tightly and started to walk north. Iheld her closley, I fet strange towards her, I felt as if I had to protect her. I continued to walk with a smile on my face , but at the same time I felt terribile for doing all the things I did. I felt Hermione rub her thumb over my knuckles and I looked down at our hands.
I made a small smile ¨Close your eyes, please¨
Hermione to my suprize obeyed and my smile grew even wider. I heped her walk down the stairs and stood in the middle of a white rose field. I looked at Hermione as she gasped in awe.
¨D-Draco it´s beautiful¨ Hermione said and I smiled widley.
¨I come here when I´m sad It makes me feel better!¨ I said
Hermione smiled as she looked at me.
I smiled back and looked around¨ I´m sorry for the things I´ve done to you guys¨ I said and looked away with tears in my eyes¨ I have feelings, I really do….They…..They made me like this, I said.
I felt hermione hug me and my heart felt like it was burning. I then started to sob
¨Everyone Hates Me!¨ I sobbed out
¨I don´t Hate you Draco¨Hermione said.
My eyes widened and I hugged her tightly, sobbing.
¨Don´t cry¨ she said rubbing my back.
¨Okay ¨ I said wiping my tears away and smiling.
¨There´s that dashing smile¨ Hermione said
I smiled proudly as I laughed,
I see Hermione smile ¨ I believe your a good guy when you wanna be¨"Hermione said.
¨Thank you that means alot, I´ll try harder next time,¨ I told her.
I see Hermione crouch down and pick up a white rose. I look at her then sit down. She sits down next to me and puts the rose behind my ear..
¨Thank you¨ I say and smile at her.
¨For what?¨ Hermione asks me.
¨For everything…. I want to become a better person now¨ I told her.
¨I can help you with that Draco¨ Hermione told me and I smiled.
¨How can I do it?¨ I asked her as I tilted my head.
¨You have to show people your not Souless¨ she said
I sighed and let go of her hand.
Hermione´s Pov:
Draco Malfoy, I thought he was nothing more that a heartless snake, but he wasn´t. He was so much more, he had a heart under all those scales.
I looked at Draco as he let go of my hand and sighed
¨Hey it´ll be okay it´s not your fault¨ I said while rubbing his back.
¨Hermione-¨ Draco started to say but I cut in.
¨NO! Draco it´s not your fault and don´t let anyone tell you otherwise¨ I said to him and saw him smile gently.
¨Your something else Granger¨ Draco said, which caused me to smile.
I looked behind me and saw Darkness and sighed. ¨ I should probally get going before they come looking for me.¨
¨Yeah you don´t want Weaselbee to go into cardiac arrest¨ Draco said with a chuckle.
I stood up from my spot on the ground¨ Goodbye Draco¨ I said as I walked out of the beautiful rose field and into the horrible war zone.
Fred´s Pov:
I was so worried that what I said had affected her so much that she wasn´t going to come back. I sat down on the hard concrete covered in Rubble as I hoped for her to come back. I finally saw Hermione come into view and I sighed a breath of relief. I quickly got up and swiftly walked over to her. As I neared closer I saw that she had a small smile plastered on her lips. I was about to run up and hug her, but before I could get to her Harry, Ginny, and Ron were in front of me, Hugging Hermione before I could blink and I turned and walked away.
Harry´s Pov:
I saw Hermione and quickly ran to her Ron and ginny close behind. As soon as I got to Hermione I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her. She slowly wrapped her arms around my back. I knew Ron and Ginny were Death glaring me, but I didn´t care I was so scared Hermione wasn´t gonna make it through the war, but she did. I slowly let go of Hermione and looked around at our dead friends and shook my head.
¨This is all Malfoys fault if he would´ve stood up to his father, Maybe, maybe collin would be alive, Maybe, Snape would be alive, Maybe George would be alive¨ I said.
Hermione´s pov:
I felt hurt and I didn´t know why Harry´s words felt like I just had my heart ripped out of my chest. I closed my eyes gently
¨You Okay?¨ Harry asked me.
¨I´m fine¨ I responded and opened my eyes.
Harry´s head quickly turned to the side and I looked too. I saw Draco walking away with his mother and father.
¨Let´s end all the Malfoys right here, right now¨ Ron said bitterly pointing it at Draco.
Chapter 3
Fred´s Pov: I saw Harry and Hermione Hugging and I….I just felt so Jealous and I don´t know why. Hermione´s with Ron and Harry´s Gay. So I don´t know why I was jealous, I don´t even like Hermione, I don´t think.
Hermione´s Pov:
I saw Ron pull out his wand.
¨Ron….He´s not worth it¨ Harry said, but Ron didn´t lower his wand.
I slowly and quietly pulled out my wand and pointed it at the Malfoys ¨Protego"I whispered putting a protective over Draco, Narissa, and Lucius before putting my wand back at my side.
¨Crucio¨Ron shouted firing his at the Malfoys which had no affect on them.
I smiled at the result and looked at Draco noticing he still had the white rose behind his ear.
¨Someone must have used a protection spell on them¨ Ron said, seeming quite frustrated.
I heard Harry sigh ¨We don´t need anymore dead bodies right now¨ Harry said.
I looked over to Ginny who hadn´t said a word. I started to walk over to her but she shook her head and walked off. I sighed as she walked off.
¨Give her time ¨ Ron said.
I nodded and Looked around. ¨I´m gonna go for a walk¨ I told the boys.
¨Hermione you already vanished once and I was so worried, Please Don´t go¨ Ron said grabbing one of my hands.
I closed my eyes and sighed, ¨Ronald, Please ¨ I said jerking my hand away ¨Now is not the time¨ I said and walked away.
Ron´s Pov:
Hermione jerked her hand from my grasp and walked away. I watched her leave and sighed.
¨Don´t worry mate she just needs time¨ Harry said patting me on the shoulder, but i wasn´t so sure.
Fred´s Pov:
I saw Hermione walking by herself and I swiftly ran to catch up to her¨Her-¨I started to say.
¨Forget about it Fred¨ she said cutting me off.
I grabbed both her shoulders firmly and turned her around to face me. I looked into her eyes.¨ No Hermione I won´t forget about it I hurt you, I didn´t mean what I said and I truly am sorry¨ I said to her
Hermione´s lips went up into a smile and I smiled back at her.
Hermione´s Pov:
Fred Weasley was an immature prankster, I never knew when he was joking or not, but right now as he looked into my eyes. I knew he wasn´t joking, that he was being sincere.
´you were just upset¨ I told him.
¨But I shouldn´t have tsken it out on you¨ Fred said to me.
I wraped my arms around Fred as he did the same.
¨ What are you doing¨ I heard a voice ask.
