Another important point, Hermione Granger defeats Lord Voldemort . This was taken out of the trash! So it is sort of out-dated. This was written before the second book, shortly after the first book, The Sorcerer's Stone. I can't wait for the
fifth one to come out. Whoo hoo! Love always!

Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters, besides Hermione's guardian angel who is nameless at this point belongs to Ms. J.K. Rowling! Thank you! Again I do not own any of the characters except for her Guardian Angel!

Love Will Last Forever

Open up your heart to me
And say what's on your mind, oh yes
I know that we have been through so much pain
But I still need you in my life this time.
 

Draco Malfoy sat beside Hermione's bed. Her pale skin shown in the moonlight of the darkened Hospital Wing.
On the very end of her bed sat a pale figure that shimmered in the moonlight. Her wings, white and glimmering, the
solemn face that gazed down at Hermione's body and her blue eyes.

His eyes were red with tears. He knew.. somehow he knew that it was her time to leave. Harry Potter, Ron
Weasley, and Pavarti Patil were in the corner sitting down, their eyes were drooping with lack of sleep. Draco's
eyes closed as he sighed, gripping her hand even tighter.
 

And I need you tonight
I need you right now
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong
I really need you tonight
 

Hermione's eyes slid open, as if she were about to talk to them for the last time. "Draco... I love you so much..."
She said. "I.... want you to know that I'll always be there .... for you." Her eyes slid blissfully closed, and Draco
panicked. Pavarti got up and ran to her body.

As he held her limp body tenderly against his chest, his tears flowed silently down his cheeks and onto her hair.
An aura of serenity surrounded the entire wing, and it began to fog. "I.. love you too ... Hermione... Don't leave
me..." Draco sobbed, through his pain and tears.

"Draco, I'll never leave you. I promised you that." He spun around to see Hermione's ghost standing behind him.
"I've defeated the Dark Lord for the final time. It is my turn to leave this world behind me."

"But...."

"You will grow up to be a fine young man. Enjoy the rest of your life. I'll always be waiting for you. " She floated
slowly to where he sat, clutching her corpse as if it was a protection and a consolation. She held out her hand, and
he tried to reach for it, to feel her touch.
 

I figured out what to say to you
But sometimes the words they, they come out so wrong, always they do
And I know in time you will understand
That what we have is so right this time

And I need you tonight
I need you right now
I look deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong
I really need you tonight
 

As his hand met hers, it slipped through it. The coldness of her touch sent shivers up her spine. A tear showed
on her pale complexion, as she suddenly realized they could never feel each other's touch again. Angela turned
silently away and made her way to Pavarti.

"Pavarti, I'd like to thank you for the kindness you've shown me. We'll be friends forever." Pavarti nodded, as
she kept the tears within her. "Harry, Harry, Harry... Keep strong and true. It's been a pleasure to have been in
school with someone as heroic and brave as you." She glided over to Ron.

"Well, I must thank you..." She paused as Ron fainted from fright. "Ermm... Nevermind that. This is the end.
Draco, that locket around my neck, keep it. I would have wanted you to keep it. Tell my parents, that I loved
them. Perhaps we will meet again. Promise me this, Draco. Live on your life as if I had never interfered. Marry,
have kids, and one day.. up in heavan.. I will see you again." Her guardian angel was waiting as the doorway
up to heavan shown brightly, illuminating the entire room. As Hermione slowly walked toward the bright beam
of light she looked back. Draco was still clinging to her body, "I will never forget you, Draco Malfoy. I'll love
you forever." With that last note she disappeared up into heavan.
 

All those endless times we tried to make it last forever more
And baby I know
I need you
I know deep within my heart
It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right
I really need you, oh
 

Some years later, Draco sighed. He emptied out the drawers of his home of many years, Hogwarts. He was
engaged to Pansy Parkinson. The memories of his true love, though he had long forgotten her name had floated
back to him recently. He took out the final pair of boxer shorts, and glanced quickly in the drawer.

There sitting in the dust that had accumlated in the bottom of his drawer, he found the golden locket. A memoire
of his love, Hermione Granger. Her name was engraved in beautifully written cursive, and inside was their pictures.
Forever. Draco looked toward Heavan and he could sense she was looking down upon him. Waiting for his time
to come and stay with her in blessed eternity.
 

I need you tonight (I need you, oh I need you baby)
I need you right now (It's gotta be this, it's gotta be this)
I know deep within my heart
No, it doesn't matter if it's wrong or it's right
All I know is baby
I really need you tonight
 
 
 

Afterthoughts: Well what did you guys think of my first actual Draco & Hermione fanfic?!? I think it was rather
good except Hermione died. Don't worry the next one will be so much better. I personally thought it was an
awesome start. I am starting a website called the Draco Project which will be a series of fanfiction and fan art
that is centered on my favorite character. Of course you can send in your fanfics :P Please visit. Thanks! Oh
please review. Maybe I might write a sequel.
