How Could an Angel Break my Heart?

By Green eyes

Chapter 1

'I heard he sealed it with a kiss. He gently kissed her cherry lips. I found that so hard to believe, because his kiss belonged to me.'

You can't choose who you love and Hermione Granger was no exception. She never meant to fall in love with Draco Malfoy. She tried everything but to fall in love with him. Over her school years she didn't love him no way but when he joined the Order of the Phoenix when they were at War that's when.

She remembered the night him and his family came to number 12 Grimmauld Place. They arrived in the early hours of a full moon and were soaked from the rain. Narcissa Malfoy, his mother who normally was well made up was bare faced and her eyes were red and puffy from constant crying. His father, Lucius Malfoy looked tired and not entirely there while Draco look tired and slightly taken back by his parent's decision to go to the Order.

When they arrived Hermione was in the kitchen. She didn't sleep well during the War and often was up. She was shocked to see the three Malfoy's at Grimmauld as were many others. As soon as they arrived with Professor Snape, she contacted Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall and started to make tea.

She remembered the night vividly. The Professors arrived and she was asked to join the meeting as she was already up and they needed her to take an oath with them. She joined them at the table in her night wear, a simple virginal white night grown which reached her thighs and showed off her ample cleavage. Most of the men noticed Hermione's attire, Draco sure did. Professor McGonagall noticed this and handed Hermione her black cloak to cover her from the males in the room.

Hermione sat at the kitchen table with the Professors and the Malfoy's and listened to Lucius explain why his family had turned to the Order. Draco had been ordered to kill Professor Dumbledore and Narcissa had been ordered to share her body with the Death Eaters which made Lucius's blood boil and Draco feel sick at the thought of his mother being used by those animals they called humans.

Professor Dumbledore was wary of the Malfoy's; Lucius has been faithful to Tom for many years and he needed an oath to ensure that Lucius wasn't doing this to help Tom. Lucius took an oath as did Narcissa and Draco. They all promises faithfulness to the Order and its cause and they did.

As it was late that night the Malfoy's stayed. The three Professors left and Hermione showed them to their rooms. Lucius and Narcissa stayed in Narcissa's old room when she use to stay at the Black House while Draco stayed in his late Uncle's room which was Hermione's room as well due to the house being full.

Draco and Hermione walked into the room together and went to their separate beds and lay down. Hermione couldn't sleep and neither could Draco. They both laid in silence for near an hour before one of them spoke.

'I bet you think were cowards to come crawling to you.' Draco said with venom.

'No I think you're brave.' She said as she turned in her bed to face him in the darkness. 'To admit that something you so strongly believe in is wrong take courage, I don't think you or your family are cowards Mal...Draco I think you're brave.'

'Great, you make us sound like a bunch of Gryffindor.' He said which made her giggle. It was then that he first realised that he loved her laugh, it was comforting.

'Draco, you will never be a Gryffindor.' She said softly.

'Good, I can't stand red.' He said.

'Duly noted.' She said. 'Will they not notice that you aren't at Malfoy Manor?'

'The Dark Lord believes we have gone to my Uncle's house for the night.' He said.

'You're Uncle?' she asked confused.

'Severus...Professor Snape. He's my Godfather, didn't you know that?' he said.

'No.' Hermione said. 'I didn't know that.'

'Well now you do.' He said roughly. 'I'm going to sleep.'

'Oh alright then. Goodnight Malfoy.' She said softly and got no reply.

The next morning everyone in the order was introduced to its newest members. Not everyone took it well but after listening to Professor Dumbledore they all seemed to accept that the Malfoy's were on their side and they would be around a lot more.

The following months saw the Malfoy's staying at Grimmauld more. Hermione would often wake to find one Draco Malfoy asleep in the bed beside hers. They would wake up and go about the day without once talking to each other.

It wasn't until one hot and humid night in August when Hermione and Draco became closer than just friends of sort. Both couldn't sleep in the heat and both laid in silence waiting for the other to talk.

'Fucking heat!' Draco mumbled as he pulled off his grey sleep top baring his muscular chest to Hermione. Hermione blushed at his bare chest in the moonlight and sighed into her pillow.

'How can you sleep in that?' Draco said as he laid back down on top of his black silk covers.

'Sleep in what? I'm wearing my lightest night dress.' She said as she crossed her arms over her chest and looked up at the ceiling.

Draco only grunted as he started shuffling in his bed. Hermione wondered what he was doing and then heard something hit the floor.

'What was that?' Hermione asked.

'My shorts.' He replied.

'Are...you naked?' She asked.

'Yeah...does it make your nervous Granger? Never seen a naked male in your life?' He said smirking in the darkness.

'No!' she nearly shouted.

'Wanna join me?' he said nearly laughing.

'No I don't thank you very much.' She said as she turned towards the wall making her nightdress ride up giving Draco a clear view of her nude bum.

After that night Draco started to make his move. Hermione 'Mudblood' Granger was one hot piece of arse. He didn't care about her blood status...too much all he cared about was tapping that. Hermione, herself didn't notice his advances however Ron and his brothers did. Harry didn't seem to notice all but he was too wrapped up in his own problems and Ginny.

Halloween night was the turning point for Draco and Hermione. They went from kind of friends to nearly lovers. Hermione was in the kitchen at three o'clock in the morning when the Malfoy's arrived. Lucius was carrying his unconscious wife while Draco looked tired and his eyes red and puffy as if he had been crying. Hermione immediately contacted the Headmaster, the professors and Hogwarts Nurse Madam Promfrey who rushed to Grimmauld.

Narcissa Malfoy had been held under the Cruciatus Curse for nearly five minutes, people had been known to go crazy under the curse for that long however Draco's mother was a lucky one. Severus Snape had produced his new potion which he was piloting and thankfully it worked. Draco's parents were taken to Hogwarts to stay for the night therefore Poppy would be able to watch Madam Malfoy while Draco was to stay at Grimmauld.

It was four o'clock when Draco and Hermione ventured up to 'their room'. They both laid on their separate beds and stared at the ceiling.

'Hermione...' Draco said softly.

'Yes.' She replied turning towards him in the darkness.

'Can you...don't worry.' He said as she turned away from her in his bed.

Hermione looked at Draco as his back shook. She knew he was crying. She slowly stood up and walked over to his double bed. She climbed over his shaking body and held him to his chest whispering comforting words. Draco clung onto Hermione as if his life depended on it and that is how they fell asleep.

The next morning Hermione and Draco woke spooned together. Draco was curved into her body holding onto her waist tightly while Hermione was snuggled deep into chest, her nose snuggled deeply into his neck as if she was breathing in his scent.

As the moved away from each other they both blushed. They looked at one another and soon found themselves attached by the lips. The kiss seemed to last for ages and as they pulled back they both turned crimson red.

'I should...go...need to get ready.' She said as she sat up and started to climb over him to get out of bed to find herself pulled down on top of him and his lips on hers again. His hands were everywhere and anywhere which made Hermione moan with pleasure. She loved the feeling of his hands running down her back and cupping her bum.

The pulled away when they heard commotion outside their door. Soon enough harsh knocking sounding on the door.

'Mione! Mione! Get up! Harry's missing!' Ron shouted impatiently and soon enough he barged in to find Hermione stood in the middle of the room with Malfoy led in his bed trying to hide his erection.

'What you doing in here?' Ron shouted.

'This is his room as well Ronald. Now what do you mean Harry's missing?' she said.

'He's gone. He's not here and Ginny can't find him anywhere, I think he's gone to his parent's graves again, you know today's...well it's the day they died.' Ron said.

'Let me get dressed and we'll go find him.' She said as she pushed Ron out the room.

Draco and Hermione were once left alone again and in silence they quickly got ready for the day ahead and left.

Hermione didn't see Draco for another month after that. He once sent her a letter in the middle of the night to tell her to inform Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall that Professor Snape had been injured and their personal healer was looking after him but that was all. It wasn't until late November she saw him next.

She was sat on the windowsill reading a muggle classic when she felt arms wrap around her body and a chin rest on her head. She knew who it was and she relaxed back into his broad chest.

'How are you?' she said quietly.

'I'm alright. How are you?' He said as he pressed a single kiss to her head.

'I'm alright too.' She said.

'I'm going to be staying here for a while now.' He said softly.

'Really?' she asked confused. 'Why?'

'My father and my Uncle Sev faked my mother and I deaths.' He said as he looked at Hermione.

'Surly they would know that you're still alive?' she said worriedly.

'No. Severus and my father have implanted fake accounts of our deaths in their mind for the Dark Lord to see.' Draco said. 'We'll be safer here and my father needs to concentrate without worrying about us.'

Hermione only nodded and looked into Draco's grey eyes. She reached her hand to his cheek and stroked his cheek. He caught her hand in his and brought it to his lips; he placed a kiss to her hand and then pulled her to him and kissed her like his life depended on it.

In the doorway stood a silent Narcissa Malfoy watching her son with his love. She knew he was in love, he hadn't told her but she knew. She was his mother and had been for the last 19 years. She watched the two together as they spoke softly to one another and then watched how her son kissed her and pulled her to his body as if he was seeking her warmth and comfort. She smiled softly and she closed the door giving them privacy.

For the next five and a half months Narcissa and Draco stayed at Grimmauld. Draco and Hermione struggled to keep their relationship secret. Hermione even managed to have regular conversations with Draco's mother and formed some sort of friendship if you could call it that.

The War soon progressed and in May it came to a head. Harry Potter, the boy who lived finally defeated the Dark Lord. Many died in the Battle of Hogwarts, many injured physically and many mentally scared. By the end of May, Draco and his mother had moved back to the newly decorated Manor.

Throughout the summer Draco and Hermione often spent one night a week at an exclusive hotel where they would spend the whole night together curled into each other. Hermione lived for those moments. Throughout the summer she took her NEWTS however Draco didn't, he went straight into the family business with his father at Malfoy Holdings. The Malfoy's had come out of the War favourably. They were seen as heroes due to the fact Draco and Lucius were spies for Dumbledore. Lucius once again was a powerful man in society and his family and wealthy were restored.

In the September, Hermione turned 20 and began a job in the Ministry alongside the Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt. She loved her job and life was going perfect until one day when she opened the Prophet.
