"Is there any way we can stop it?" Hermione asked, tears in her eyes. "He knows we're together... why would he do this?"

Draco took his girlfriend's hand. "I tried to stop him, but we can't. There's blood magic in the contract. If we delay it, both Astoria and I will die."

Hermione fell to her knees in grief. "It can't be delayed? Draco?"

Draco joined her on the ground, wrapping his arms around her. "I love you," he whispered softly.

Hermione knew that he did, but it wasn't enough. They would have to end things.

"I'm sorry," Draco cried.
