Shattered hearts and broken paths

Severus Snape hustled Hermione into his private quarters. "Draco's been in here waiting for you too." He said as he pulled the door closed behind himself and watched Hermione pull Draco into her arms.

It wasn't until Hermione kissed Draco that he looked in the other direction and seen his beautiful wife sitting in the chair he was sitting in no more then 2 minutes ago.

"Evy? Evalynn?... Is that really you?" Snape almost broke into tears. "What are you doing here?" the wall holding everything back broke, tears filled his eyes and he was overcome with joy.

"Sev, hun, slow down. I have been released..." Evalynn spoke as she stood up and went to hold her lover.

"How did you manage to get released?" He asked, wondering what his daughter and wife who where recently reunited for the first time in 17 years have gotten up to.

"Well, I told Voldemort I would side with him, On one condition..." Her voice trailed off, this was going to be the hard part.

"What condition?" He asked. he knew he shouldn't have, but he needed to know.

"On the condition that you and Hermione remain safe and alive, But, I have to take you to him to be held prisoner." She said.

"How is that going to work when I have to deliver Harry Potter to him?" Severus asked.

"Oh... I don't know.." Evalynn responded.

"I will work this out Dad.. We are going now, I am exhausted." Hermione said glancing at Draco and then giving her mom and dad both a hug before departing hand in hand with Draco.

"Young love. Do you remember that?" Evalynn said as she smiled at Severus and watched the two young kids retreat towards their dormitories.

"Yes, I do, Very much." He said as he pulled his wife into his arms for a searing kiss. Tears where still rolling down his cheeks but he didn't care, he had his love in his arms, it felt like it had been so long.

"Race yah!" Darco said once they where inside the safety of their dorms.

"Not fair, you had a head start!" Hermione pouted as Draco raced up the stairs towards his bedroom.

Hermione followed quickly, trying not to step on the clothing that Draco had ripped off and left laying in her path on the way up to his room. "Feisty tonight aren't you?" She asked as she stood in the door way and seen Draco already naked and laying on his bed.

"Well I was worried about you, you know. And now that you are back, I am relieved and also needs to be relieved of something else as well" Draco said while wiggling his eyebrows in what he thought was a seductive way.

Hermione sashayed her hips as she walked into the room, slowly peeling off her robe and clothes. She climbed into bed beside Draco and was immediately flipped over onto her stomach.

Draco climbed onto her back and sat on her butt and started rubbing her shoulders, working out the knots.

"Mmmmm" Hermione groaned as Draco worked at her tense shoulders

Draco trailed kisses from her neck all the way down her spine, stopping just above her bottom, then worked his way back up again. He stopped at her neck and kissed it and then started licking and nibbling on her ear.

He whispered into her ear. "I never want to be away from you again."

Hermione struggled to roll over so she could look into his gray/blue eyes. They where the color of a frozen ocean.

"I never want to be away from you again either." Hermione replied as she ran her hands up Draco's back and pulled him down on top of her for a kiss.

"I like this" Draco said as his hands wrapped around her.

They held each other for a few moments, each wondering how their relationship had progressed so far.

Draco pulled back and slid down Hermione's body and stopped between her legs. He took a deep breath and inhaled her scent, he never wanted to forget it. His tongue darted out and tasted her sweet heat. He never wanted to forget her taste. His hands trailed up her body and kneaded at her subtle breasts. He never wanted to forget how soft she was. Her hands caressed his shoulder blades. He never wanted to forget her touch.

He licked at her wet folds watching her wiggle, loving the way she moved from his touch. He licked and sucked and nibbled playfully until she came. When she screamed out in passion, Draco wiped off his mouth and crawled up along Hermione's body.

She looked into his eyes, her honey brown against his winter ocean blue. A smile played across her lips and she pulled him down on top of her, "Make love to me Draco." she whispered into his ears.

Draco kneeled back and placed the tip of his cock into Hermione's wet folds. He pushed in slowly, until he was in all the way.

"MMMMM" Hermione moaned.

Draco groaned as his thrusts grew quicker and deeper. Hermione moved her hips in rythm with him, their timing together was a beautiful thing. The way his hips met hers, The way they moved, and touched eachother, the way their kissed made them hotter and hungrier.

They both came at the same time, an earth shattering orgasim, them both screaming out in passion.

They cuddled for a little while then Hermione rolled onto her side, Draco right behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist. He kissed her back and inhailed her sweet scent, the scent they made together. Their scent. He drifted off to sleep, not remembering the things that where to come. the horrors that may take place.

Mika, Tam, Taylor and Blaze sat in the Heads Common room with Draco and Hermione. Harry was on his way, along with Dumbledore, Snape and Evalynn.

"This is going to be a pretty complex plan you guys. We need to make sure we all know what we are to do, and do it properly. One wrong move can jepordize the whole plan." Draco said while waiting for the others.

There was a knock on the door and the remainder of the meeting party walked in to the room. They all sat down in the empty chairs and looked from one another to the other.

"As you all know." Dumbledore started "This is very important, we need to work together and watch out for each other." He looked around the room, everyone nodded.

"Harry, Severus will not be taking you to Voldemort. The last meeting Draco and Hermione had with him brought up something he hadnt thought of. You will be kidnapped by the four newest Death Eaters and be brought to Voldemort." He sighed. He wanted to be there. He needed to be there.

"Hermione and Draco, Evalynn and Snape will already be there. Snape should be in a back room somewhere, Hermione and Draco will know where he is being kept because they are in his inner most circle so far."

They sat, discussing the plan, everyone knowing exactly what they had to do, where they needed to be to have the most successful attack.

They all left the room at different times. Draco, Hermione, Snape and Evalynn sat and looked at each other. Time was ticking. This was it. They only had 2 weeks to go.

Evalynn and Severus Snape where getting ready to head off to HQ so Sev could be held prisoner by the sadistic lord.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione and Draco stood back to back, Hermione using her hand to help decorate the great hall for the dance later on this evening. The enchanted ceiling was a light blue with falling snowflakes. On the right side of the room there where round tables set up. Enough for every student to sit at, Blue and white table cloths covered them. The house elves had the plates and place settings set up.

The stage was being assembled by the unknown Band that was being brought in. Know one had heard of them yet, they where a new wizard band. Just getting started.

The floor was changed to a polished black floor. The room looked enchanted. Perfect for a winter ball.

"Time is ticking my love." Draco said as he held onto Paige's hand.

"I know, I am getting very nervous." Hermione, as Paige replied.

"Its all down to 6 students, 2 adults, and Harry Potter, the 9 of us, against 50 of them." Draco said. He was nervous and he knew he should not keep bring it up, but he couldnt help it.

"We have it all figured out. We should go now, we need to get ready now. We need to go and get ready for the dance, we need to make our appearance. Need to be there." Hermione said as she pulled Draco by the hand out of the great hall and towards their dorm.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco stood at the bottom of the stairs. It was like deja'vu He was standing their in navy blue pants, a light powder blue shirt underneath a navy blue blazer and a blue tie. The color of his suite brought out the color of his eyes.

His hair was not gelled, but dried and left, falling in every direction. He looked handsom.

The door to Hermione's room creaked open. One leg stepped out, a bare leg with white high heels strapped to her foot. White lace wrapped up to her knee. She stepped out. A pale blue dress, the same pale blue of Draco's shirt. She had a white bow, that tied around the chest of her dress and hung down the back.

The top of the dress was strapless, and Hermione's hair hung in soft curls down her back and on her shoulders. She had dusted a light amount of make up on her face. Light blue eye shadow on her eye lids.

She descended down the stairs, Draco extended his hand to her when she was still about 3 steps up. She took his hand and he guided her gently towards the door.

The dance had started half an hour ago. They where late because Draco was intent on having Hermione one more time before they set off to the battle. They could come out alive, or not at all. They hoped this would go very well.

"You look amazing." Draco whispered into Paige's ear as they walked down the corridors to the great hall.

"You look pretty amazing yourself." Hermione replied as they came to the door.

The lights where off, the music was slow and there was a soft glow from the enchanted ceiling and candles from the tables. Couples where dancing.

Hermione spotted Tam, Taylor, Mika and Blaze, they where sitting with their dates, they all looked nervous. They nodded in understanding that time was ticking when Paige and Draco entered the room.

The whole room stopped dancing and watched as the exchange student was guided gently onto the floor by the Slytherin prince. He had his princess and they looked damn good together.

Harry watched. He thought it was a show. But watching how Paige or Hermione looked at Draco and the look he had in his eyes back at her, there was definitely something more there then they where letting on to be.

He looked over at Ginny. She didn't know what was going on, She had no idea that tonight may be their last night together.

He grabbed her hand and whisked her off onto the floor, Dancing gracefully to the music.

The clock chimed 8, one more hour, Harry thought to himself.

"Its time to go." Draco whispered into Hermione's ear and they headed off to talk to the headmaster.

Taylor, Tam, Mika and Blaze nodded at Harry he knew the time was coming.

Harry pulled Ginny into his arms for a long passionate kiss.

"Ill be back." He said as he walked out into the Hallway to be escorted by the 4 new death eaters to face the biggest moment of his life."

"Harry wait, I need to tell you something." Ginny said walking down the hallway behind him. She had an idea that Harry was going off somewhere on some crazy suicide mission.. "Harry, I... I...."

"Not now Gin" He couldnt bear to hear it, couldnt let her say she loved him, not until he came back, if he came back..

"But Harry." She cried...

He was gone, he walked into the darkness out of her life, and into the darkness.

Tam, Taylor, Mika and Blaze where in the abandoned class room waiting for him.

"Ready" Blaze said, taking charge of the group being the oldest.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The room was dark, Everyone was in black cloaks. Paige and Draco where sitting beside Voldemort. Evalynn on his other side.

Voldemort smiled as he seen Paige and Draco enter the room hand in hand. He thought to himself. Possibly a child from my newest most faithful members. How excellent.

Evalynn seemed a little upset. But she knew her husband was safe, and that her daughter would be promised a life of freedom.

There was a pop. Four cloaked and masked figures appeared out of thin air in the center of the room.

They released Harry and stepped into their positions.

War

It was upon them.
