chapter 11

Graduation and the after party was an exciting time. Draco and Hermione managed one more visit the day before their last night in the castle. Neither had said goodbye then, Hermione knew she would have started crying. She had been very truthful with Draco. She didn’t think she had fallen in love with him, but she did feel strongly. Very strongly.



She walked along the train. She didn’t have prefect duties, she just wanted to get out of the stuffy compartment she and her friends shared. She felt a wave of sadness fall over her as she came to the compartment that she had first started her game with Draco in. Again it was open and empty.



She entered and sat down. As she let her head fall back she stopped fighting for control and let a few tears fall.



A click brought her attention back and she saw Draco had entered and closed the door. He locked it and closed the curtains then held out his arms. She went into them and let the tears fall. “You should have told me it meant more to you.”



“And pressure you?” She said, lifting her head, but not letting go of him. “I couldn’t do that to you. Its not wise to dream about things that can’t happen.”



“Can’t or won’t. You said so your self the future can’t be predicted.” He said, brushing away her tears.



“How easy for you would it be with me in your life? Think about it. Right now it’s just a fantasy and I got too attached that’s all.”



He looked down at her. “I feel the same way and I hate that I won’t see you.” His pained look broke her heart.



“Draco, if you can find a way for us to meet, owl me and I’ll be here for you, but don’t make it hard for yourself. Don’t try and make something happen that can’t.”



She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered to him. “I couldn’t stand it if I got my hopes up and nothing came of it.”



“I understand.” He whispered back holding her. Moving one arm she reached into her pocket and pulled something out, then slipped her fist into one of his hands.



“Here, you keep this.” She said closing his fingers around something. She lifted her head and kissed him. The salty tears mingled with her kiss but he didn’t care. He returned all the passion he felt for her in this kiss. He cupped the back of her head and plunged his tongue deeply trying to gain as much of her as he could, memorizing her taste and feel.



All too quickly she broke the kiss and left the compartment in a hurry. When she was gone he made sure the curtains were still closed and looked in his palm. It was a chess piece. She had given him her queen.



He sat down and let his tears fall. there was no reason to keep them in anymore.



The End



A/N: I haven’t decided whether or not to write a sequel but I don’t think Draco and Hermione are quite done
