Haunting Love

between lies and the truth

"We shall start heading to the hallways you know we must patrol." Draco said.

"You go ahead of me, I still have to finish drying my hair." She said in surprise. "Deja Vu." She whispered.

"Okay." He said.

"It wasn't deja vu it's happened before I can't tell when." She said to herself.

She put her hair up in a ponytail and ran after Draco.

She saw him, every second getting closer. Getting closer to nothing. She walked next to him when she catched up.

"Such a hurry to catch up to me." Draco said his head up high.

"What if I lost y.." she rethought the words. " We obviously have to patrol together. I ran because what if I couldn't find you."

"Sure, keep lying to yourself. I know you still love me, but guess what I don't." He said loud and proud.

"Please take me back." She said mockingly. " I want to be with a person I don't love forever."

"Stop lying to yourself." He said.

"As if." She replied.

He pushed so sudden against the wall and pinned her against it. Her heart raced.

"Really."

"Why are you pinning me against the wall." She pushed him away.

"I love you." He lied.

She walked away.

"Hermione let's be just friends." Draco out of the blue told her.

Draco Malfoy you want to be friends. I'm afraid we can't go back to friends. It's to late for that.

"It's to late for that Draco. We can't be friends anymore." She said.

"Why is that." He asked.

"Please don't ask why." She said

"Why can't I." He asked.

"I'm afraid that if you ask I'll tell you." She told him.

"Is it that scary to know why we can't be friends."

"We can't be friends because there's something that won't allows us."

"If you're talking about Astoria she's totally okay she even suggested you as godmother yesterday when she came back from where ever she was."

"It's no that." She said.

"What is it then."

"I can't tell you." She said.

They walked in silence. The awkward type of walk where it's better not to say anything.

"Will you becoming to my wedding." Draco asked.

"I'll try." She lied.

"Really."

"When is it." She asked.

"Few weeks after graduation."

"Cool."

"What are you going to do after graduation."

"Leave." She replied.

"Obviously." He said.

"And you."

"Well I have enough money to not work but I want to do something. Probably the next defense against the dark arts teacher."

"Amazing." She said.

The walked all over Hogwarts. They found themselves in one of the balconies.

"The stars are beautiful." Hermione said.

"They are."

"What are you going to call your baby." She
Asked.

"I know it's going to be a boy it's always a boy, his name will be Scorpius."

"Are you really sure it's a boy."

"If it's a girl Arachne."

"What's up with you name your kids animal names."

"Names matter, it will give them strength."

"Your weird."

"Oh sure what would you name them."

"Leo and Amare."

"Leo is a animal name."

"Well I'm sure he's going to be a gryffindor."

"We're done here let's head back." Draco suggested.

"Sure."

They walked all the way back to the dorm. In the dorm door Astoria kneel down.

"Did she forget the password." Draco said.

Astoria stood up when she heard Draco's voice. She turned around. Both saw her smiling with tears running down.

"Draco... Hermione." Astoria said.

"We had to patrol today that's all." Hermione quickly said.

"Did Draco tell you, do you want to be the godmother." Astoria asked.

"Yes he told me but I'm afraid I can't."

"Please Hermione you're the only one I can leave Scorpius too."

"What do you mean leave." Draco and Hermione both said at the same time.

"I mean if there was ever a day I need to go somewhere. Scorpius will be safe with you."

"So you already know it's a boy." Both asked.

"As a mother I know he's going to be a boy." She smiled.

Everything seemed odd to Hermione.

"I'll be traveling a lot, I'm not sure I'll be able to be there for the ceremony." Hermione said.

"That doesn't matter. I can get the form and write you as the legal godmother. Please just be godmother."

"I guess I'll be the godmother." She said.
