Chapter 49
Draco ran, not to save himself but to look for Hermione. All of this is his fault, if he just didn't tell Hermione about that stupid dream everything would be normal. None of this would have happened. Everybody was in danger because of him. Draco carried on running until he saw Scarlett.
"Scarlett. Have you seen Hermione?" Draco asked.
"Yes she put protection charms on me because I don't feel safe and then she went that way." Scarlett replied pointing the way Hermione went.
"OK thank-you. And you will be fine Scarlett trust me." Draco said running of the way Scarlett had told him.
Draco then started to walk Hermione would probably be fine. She would probably be protecting someone else. Draco went out of his thoughts because he had almost tripped over a body. He looked down to see whose body it was and to his shock it was Hermione's.
Ginny bent down to Blaise.
"Blaise please don't be dead." Ginny pleaded. "Please just be faking it."
Ginny knew he wouldn't be faking it because he was really bleeding.
But weren't the killing curse meant to give a painless death. Unless they knew other spells that they didn't that they created by themselves. Ginny slowly started crying. She didn't love Blaise but he was still her friend. She was his friend right? Ginny went sat down right next to Blaise. How could she check if he was alive or dead. He can't exactly wake up on command. She got hold of his hand. Pulse! That's how I can find out if he is alive or not. She put two fingers just below his wrist to check his pulse. She could feel a pulse luckily.
"Thank Merlin for that!" Ginny said letting the breath out she didn't know she was holding. "At least you're alive."
Ginny stayed with Blaise and put protection charms over him and moved him behind the tree. They hopefully wouldn't get spotted there.
Draco was in shock. Hermione could be dead because of him. He should of just followed her to keep her safe. That was the plan somebody always protect Hermione. Someone had to always be at her side to make sure she would be safe. He was meant to be the someone at her side and he wasn't there. It was his idea so why didn't he go along with the plan. She could be dead and it could be his fault. What would everybody think. Draco felt his heart shatter. He really did love her and he didn't understand why. They had broken up for her safety and they had only been dating for around a week. So he couldn't understand why he felt this way. He was brought up to hate muggle-borns and people who associated with muggles so why did he love her. He didn't know what it felt like to love someone but he was sure it felt like this. She certainly looked dead. Draco wanted to cry but he knew he shouldn't. He put an protection spell around Hermione to make sure she was safe if she wasn't dead and woke up.
Draco walked away and kept looking back over his shoulder. He really wanted to stay with Hermione but he had to attempt to kill Obscurum. He really really hated Obscurum now. Draco kept walking now full of anger. He wondered who killed or tried to kill Hermione. He didn't know why but he thought that the wizard who had captured and tortured her killed or tried to kill her.
Draco carried on walking and saw Cogere. Cogere was smiling evilly at him. 'What if she had tried or killed Hermione.' Draco thought.
"Ah. Well if it isn't Draco the Mudblood lover!" Cogere said with an evil cackle at the end of her sentence.
Draco didn't respond he just stood there his eyes turning a dark grey with hate.
"Oh yes I know something your beloved Mudblood is dead!" She said cackling.
"You would be a what a muggle would call a Wicked Witch." Draco said no emotion in his voice but hate.
"Hmm so you are a blood-traitor aren't you." Cogere said as a statement.
Draco just didn't respond but inside his head he was killing her. He truly hated her. He looked at her wand discreetly. She would probably be able to do wand-less magic anyway.
"Expelliarmus!" A voice shouted which Draco knew as Harrys. Cogere's wand flew into Harrys hand.
Cogere gasped and turned around.
"GIVE ME MY WAND BACK NOW!" Cogere shouted.
"Nope." Said Harry cheekily.
"Snap it Potter!" Draco shouted.
"NO DON'T SNAP IT!" Cogere shouted a worried look in her eyes.
Harry did what Draco said and snapped the wand.
"NOOO!" Cogere shouted.
Before their eyes Cogere was holding her face and was struggling. Cogere was screaming and fell to the floor still screaming. She was dying. She was really dying. Cogere's body or what was Cogere's body turned into ash and smoke and blew away.
"She's dead." Draco said astonished.
"So that is what we have to do we need to take that mans wand." Harry said.
"Yeah we do but he is going to be harder to get to." Draco said. "We will have to go the same way so we can take his wand. But it has to be when he isn't suspecting it. And he might know wand-less magic."
"There is that." Harry said.
"Should we go this way?" Draco asked.
"Lets go ahead." Harry replied.
They walked and walked and walked.
They had walked for around an hour now.
"It shouldn't be this hard to find a wizard." Draco said.
"Wait. Shush." Harry said.
Draco looked where Harry was looking and he saw Obscurum. He was torturing what looked like a 5th year.
Obscurum stopped torturing the 5th year with pleased satisfaction with wand-less magic.
Obscurum turned around but didn't see Draco and Harry.
"Expelliarmus." Draco whispered. Obscurum's wand flew into Draco's hand. "Got it."
"Obscurum started torturing the 5th year again with wand-less magic.
Draco tried to snap the wand but it didn't.
"Ugh its like it is made out of steel." Draco said.
"Really?" Harry said. He took the wand off of Draco and tried to snap it. It was like it was made out of steel. "We will have to do a spell." Harry whispered.
They tried several spells but they didn't work.
"Ugh this is hopeless. He is going to realise he doesn't have his wand soon" Draco whispered.
"Wait let me try this. Diruam." Harry whispered. The wand softened.
"Where did you learn that?" Draco asked.
"It was in one of them books we were studying for this war." Harry responded.
"Why didn't you share it?" Draco asked.
"I didn't share it because I didn't think it would be useful." Harry said. Harry tried to snap the wand and it indeed snapped.
At first Obscurum showed no pain. Until he reached for his wand. When he realised it wasn't there he understood what was happening. He held his face he didn't know how someone knew how to kill him. He fell to the floor and turned into ash and blew away with the wind like Cogere.
The other people in cloaks started to turn into ash and blow away too, or they fled for their lives.
"We did it." Draco said. Draco then remembered Hermione. "I have to go Potter."
Draco ran towards where Hermione was and he saw her moving her arm. Draco rushed by her side.
"Are you OK?" Draco asked. Hermione slowly opened her eyes.
"Yeah I think so." Hermione said and started coughing.
Draco pulled Hermione into a hug.
"I'm glad you're OK." Draco said. They continued hugging.
Ginny looked around and couldn't see any wizards or witches in cloaks. She looked down at Blaise. Looking if he had woken up again. He had his brown eyes looking up at hers.
"Why did you take that curse." Ginny said.
"I know I would never have a chance with you so it wasn't because of that before you think that. It's because I just didn't want you to get hurt Potter would have gone mad that his fiancé had been badly hurt." Blaise said with a smile.
Ginny hugged Blaise. "Thank you but you still don't have a chance with me." Ginny said.
"OK as long as I am invited to the wedding its fine." Blaise said.
"Of course you are you just saved my life." Ginny said.
Draco and Hermione were still hugging.
"Hermione can I tell you something." Draco said.
"Yes what is it." Hermione said looking at into Draco's eyes.
"I love you Hermione." Draco said.
"I love you too." Hermione said.
"I don't care what my father thinks I want you in my life." Draco said.
"I want you in my life too." Hermione said.
Draco leaned closer to Hermione until their lips met.
The war was finally over. They could be together at last.
