What If..?

Chapter 14

"I can't believe it, it's time to go home for the holidays already!" Harry had just finished packing his trunk and was sitting on his bed, waiting for Draco to finish.

"Right? It's like tomorrow we'll be graduating from Hogwarts, time is going by so fast."

"Tell me about it."

"Alright. I think I've got everything I need packed up. Let's go." Draco reached out his hand for Harry to hold, then they left the castle.

They hopped onto the train, walking to near the back, before finding an empty compartment.

"Here's one!" Harry pulled Draco inside. "You think Hermione and Ron will be able to find us back here?"

"They always somehow manage."

"Hey guys!" Ron walked in, obviously joined by Hermione.

"Speaking of which.." Draco muttered with clenched teeth.

Harry chuckled.

The four of them all put their trunks up, then sat down as the train started moving.

"You two are obsessed! Do you always have to sit cuddled like that?" Hermione growled, annoyed.

"..Yes." They said in sync.

"You need a break! You know what, Ron, go switch seats with Harry- no you don't have to cuddle with Draco- just switch for the rest of the ride!"

"Sorry mate, but she's terrifying." Ron started to stand up, holding onto the wall for support.

Draco tightened his grip on Harry's waist, refusing to let Harry up.

"DRACO! For Merlin sakes, it's only ONE train ride!" Hermione half-yelled.

"So, can I sit back down now, or-?" Ron stood awkwardly.

"NO! You're still switching, we just have to get Harry from Draco's grip first."

"I really don't see the big deal, Hermione. It's not that bad." Harry leaned in to Draco's chest, getting more comfortable.

"You two need to learn how to survive without each other!"

"Technically, we went 11 years, I think we're fine." Harry was getting more amused by the minute.

"You've forgotten how to be more than a foot away from one another, I'm trying to help you get started!"

"What's your problem with them acting like that? There really isn't any problem." Ron sat down, against Hermione's wishes.

"My problem is that they are getting too attached! I'd be fine if they weren't acting like that every time."

"Just leave 'em be, Hermione."

Hermione gave them all a disapproving glare, before picking up a book from next to her to read.

Draco and Harry were satisfied that they didn't get separated.

And Ron was just proud that he could help.

...

"Do you really want to seperate them?" Ron leaned over to Hermione after Drarry had fallen asleep.

"I just want what's best for them. I actually think they're quite cute together, but some day they might unfortunately part. I just want to remind them how to live without each other."

"I don't think they're going to get separated till death."

"Maybe not even then." Hermione smiled knowingly.
