Still Alive (Book 4)

The Best Kiss of All Time

Draco Pov
The room burst open.
'Malfoy'
'Potter' he curtly replied. 'Any ideas how to get me out of this shit?'
'I talked with zabini'

Draco rolled his eyes.
'Well, of course. Where's Hermione?'
Draco had been expecting her but.. but maybe she truly hated him..

'She- uh to be truthful I don't know- she just dissapeared—'
'You aren't being bloody serious there.. How could you let her go?'

'Most probably she is trying to free you of the charges having a good amount of authority as minister of magic.'
'Yeah maybe' though Draco didn't believe it.

'What if you are' Potter asked sadly.
'I am what? Sent to Askaban?'
Potter nodded.
'That won't happen' Draco said.
'What if you lose the case?'
Draco remained silent.

'You have thought this out haven't you? You are going to escape—'
'Yeah'
'What's the plan?'
'If I lose the case, then I escape and you cover up with lies.. And keep it a secret—'
'Point is how will you escape?'
Draco smiled
'Leave that to me'

'And then what? What's the point to stay in hiding?'
'I am going to start a new life.. Forget everything—'
'Even Hermione? She loves you, you know—'
'She doesn't. We broke it off anyways. And yeah, even her.'

Few moments of silence passed.
'Best of luck with that' said harry.
***
It was the final say..
Draco's hands and legs were tied against a chair in the centre of the room were the trial went on..

'So minister' the green looking wizard said 'I think this much proof is enough?'

Hermione hesitated 'I- but it still does not say why disarming—'
I got what she was doing.. Buying me time..

Of,course as friends...
'Minister he was helping death eaters in illegal deeds- the vanishing cabinet—'
'What's the proof he called the death-eaters?'
'Auror Weasley has reported us his criminal antics—'

'Then call him' she said expressionlessly.
'I said call him' she said.
'But you couldn't possibly doubt me.. very well. Give me another five minutes' The man went and walked out of the room.

Hermione's flickered to Draco for a second.. but Draco understood.
It was just a few seconds till Hermione snapped the chains..

Crack!
Draco grinned as the chains cracked.
His eyes met with her for a short moment before she looked away..

'He's getting away! Catch him.'
Chaos struck as the people casted various spells on him but all of them disappeared in thin air.

Draco ran till he reached the end of the door.
'Thanks' he said.
'No problem. Quite easy blocking those spells.'
Their eyes met.. the last time maybe.
Grey met green.

'Goodbye'
Draco nodded to the boy.. the boy who he owed his life... the boy whose life he had made miserable .. the boy who had forgived him for all that had happened.. the boy who had a big heart..

Once  he was envious of him, but now saw better. Now he was grateful.

'Keep it a secret'.
Potter nodded.
'I will'.
***

It was the first time.. in his life, well not the first maybe just about the billionth and one..
Draco Malfoy felt restless.

He didn't have a choice. All magical means- were inspected by the ministry.

He was driving at quite some speed.. Some badass car this was.. he didn't know which- of course he didn't.
He watched the speedometer reach 200 kmph.

He checked the rearview mirror.
Two cars were behind him.
One.. Weasley with some Aurors..
And the other that green haired man, and someone else he could not see...

Just enough to see.. her bushy hair outside the window.
With one hand outside the window he tried his best to counteract all the curses headed his way..

All was going fine until Weasley hit the bullseye..
Till one hit the.. he didn't know what but the next thing he knew was the speedometer hit 450 kmph and not moving.

Horrified, Draco watched as a bridge came nearer and nearer..
Nothing his wand did stopped the bloody car..
He wondered whether he should jump out.

No.
Yes.
No.. 1..2..3
He took his decision..
He jumped out and crashed against the road his nose bruising in a horrible way..
He wondered if this was voldemort had been through..

Both the cars stopped as Draco's car took crashed against the railing making the bridge shake..
The car retreated then crashed again.

'Make it stop' Said an Auror about whom Draco didn't care a fuck about.
'It will kill us all' hissed another.

'I don't know any reverse spell..' weasley scratched his head. 'Its bewitched'

'Who in the name of hell made you an Auror?'
'My thoughts exactly' Draco muttered still laying in the ground blood spreading all around him.

'Draco'
It was all that took for Draco to cure him..
That voice..

'Draco are you ok?' A voice came rushing kneeling by his side.
'Uh huh'
Draco didn't care about the argument of the Aurors anymore.. It was Hermione to him that mattered the most.

The bridge started bending..
Draco could almost see it happening..
'Draco I wish I could have done something.. I am so sorry- I'
He cut her short with a kiss more passionate then ever.

And Draco could definitely say one thing..
It was the best kiss. The best kiss of all time.

Ship #Dramione had finally sailed..
