章 48: Chapter 47

‘Avada Ke-‘ and then the wand Pansy was holding flew out of her hand just at the same moment as Draco threw himself in front of Hermione. Hermione stood there for a few seconds with her jaw dropped and her eyes wide open. ‘What the hell dude!’ she said helping Draco up. Pansy looked around her and then her eyes fixed on one point. ‘Are you all right?’ Draco asked placing his hand on Hermione’s cheek. ‘I’m not the one who threw himself in front of me.’ Hermione said. ‘Are you okay?’ she asked. ‘I’m fine.’ he said. ‘Sure?’ she asked. He nodded and then stepped slightly in front of Hermione. ‘Why did you do that?’ Pansy exclaimed. ‘You were going to kill her.’ a man in dark ropes said. ‘Yes, and your point is?’ Pansy said. ‘Maybe we’ll be needing her.’ the man said. Hermione raised her eyebrows. ‘Uncle? Is that you?’ Draco asked. ‘Hello Draco.’ the man said. ‘Who’s that?’ Hermione whispered. ‘Rodolphus Lestrange.’ Draco said. ‘Bellatrix’s husband.’ Hermione said. Draco nodded. ‘What are you doing here?’ Draco asked. ‘Keeping this stupid girl from killing the both of you.’ Rodolphus said. ‘Thank you.’ Draco said. ‘Now go.’ Rodolphus said. Draco nodded and fast grabbed Hermione’s wrist, pulling her after him. When they were in front of the doors of the castle, Draco pulled the cloak over both of them and they walked in. ‘We’re going back to our own time.’ Draco said. ‘Good idea.’ Hermione sighed. Hermione placed the necklace around both of them and before they knew it they were back. Draco pulled the cloak off of them and folded it. ‘I’m going to bring this back to Potter.’ Draco said. Hermione nodded. ‘I’m going to our common room.’ she said. ‘I’ll be right there.’ Draco said. Hermione nodded and started to walk up the stairs. She said the password and walked in, sitting down on her chair. After around thirty minutes Draco walked in. He walked over to her and sat down in his chair. ‘Why did you do that?’ Hermione asked. ‘I’m tired.’ Draco said. ‘I mean jumping in front of me, you could’ve died.’ Hermione said. ‘Otherwise you would’ve died.’ Draco shrugged. ‘And I don’t think I could live without you.’ Draco said. Hermione blinked. ‘Draco.’ Hermione said taking a deep breath in. ‘You can’t expect me to just let you save my life every time you get the chance and when your life is in danger I can’t try and save yours, because that could mean “the end of mine”.’ Hermione said. ‘Is he really going to discuss this stupid thing?’ Hermione thought. ‘You say you wouldn’t be able to live without me, but you proved you could.’ Hermione said. Draco raised his eyebrows. ‘No I didn’t.’ Draco said. ‘Yes you did, I wasn’t there for weeks and look at you! You’re still alive.’ Hermione said. ‘That’s different, I knew you would wake up.’ Draco said. ‘When you’re dead you can’t come back.’ he said. ‘When you are, you can’t either.’ Hermione said. Draco looked over at her. ‘Draco-‘ Hermione sighed. She shook her head. ‘I care about you too and it would break my heart if you weren’t around anymore.’ Hermione said. Draco nodded. ‘I’m serious.’ she said. ‘I know.’ he said. Hermione looked back at the fire. ‘I’ve got a bad feeling about Rodolphus, I don’t get why he let us go.’ Hermione said. ‘He’s my uncle.’ ‘Still, and he said something like we don’t need her yet.’ Hermione said. Draco looked over at her. ‘Sure he said that?’ ‘Yes, I’m positive.’ she said. ‘Maybe you’re just tired.’ Draco said. ‘Draco I don’t thi-‘ she started. ‘Just go to bed and try to get some sleep. It was a long day.’ Draco said. Hermione frowned. ‘Whatever.’ she said and she stood up, walking over to her room and closing the door behind her.
