It was a dark and gloomy morning in London.The sky was cloudy and it seemed like there was going to be a heavy down pour.There were not many people who were outside during such an important day as this.And all the shops had pink ribbons and hearts all over.There were only a few pairs who were outside enjoying a day dedicated to them.

A woman was walking briskly in the busy main road.She flinched at the sight of the decorations in the coffee shops and closed her ears when near discos which played romantic slow music and enjoying.She turned towards a street where the number of shops and buildings decreased.Soon there was a light screen of mist that surrounded her.

The place was really gloomy and there was no one.The sight of the crosses ahead would creep anyone but that was exactly where the brunette was heading to.She entered and made her way towards the other old crosses with the names of the people enjoying eternal sleep beneath the ground inscribed on them.She stopped at one end where there was a faily new tombstone,compared to the others.

She knelt in front of it.She brought out a stick from her bag and whispered something,swishing the stick.A warm glowing light appeared on it's tip.The light was enough to read the name inscribed on the stone.

RIP.
Ronald Billius Weasley.
Born 1March,1980.
Died 14 February,1999.

Tears filled the lady's eyes.She flicked the wand and a beautiful bouquet appeared at the bottom of the tombstone.She waved her wand and the light disappeared.She spent a few silent moments near the tombstone.The rustling of leaves in the wind and the sound of birds flocking their wings filled the atmosphere.Then the lady opened her eyes and went to a nearby bench and sat down.

Another tall man appeared out of thin air near the graveyard's gates.He made his way towards the last column where he stood in front of a tombstone.The blonde too took a wand and flicked it and light appeared in the end.It was enough to see what was written on it.

RIP
Astoria Malfoy(Greengrass)
Born 10 December,1982.
Died 14 February,1999.

A few drops of tears fell on the white tombstone.He placed the boquet of white roses he had bought on the white marble and turned to leave.He went and sat on the bench.After a few minutes of silence,both of them looked at each other.Just a look flooded the memories of the dreadful past in both their minds.

Same day,just a year back...

"Hey Ron!!Wait up"shouted the cheerful witch.She was in her room for the past two hours,getting ready for the feast.She wanted to surprise Ron with the stunning dress she had got for this special day.She had gone to more than ten shops to buy the stunning navy blue drees with a silver lace and sparkling white stones adorning it near the neck.It was a floor length one too.

Her hair,she had thought,to straighten it and leave it free.And after wearing the dress,she took her wand and pointed at her drees,with an excited smile.She and Ginny had found a spell that could make anything shine.She waved the wand over her dress as she muttered the spell.A minute later,she was looking like a star,shining so brightly with the sapphire necklace on her neck.

"Are you coming out or shall i come in?"asked Ron from the outside.She giggled and opened the door to see a very smart but agitated Ron."What the hell...."he started but on seeing the most beautiful Angel in front of him,he became speechless.He was really stunned.Behind Ron were Hermione's parents.Both of them were awestruck too.

"My girl looks soo gorgeous!!"said her mother as she hugged her.Her father looked at her with a proud look."So.."started Ron."Oh yes!!I don't want to delay you.Have a happy time."her mother said as she joined her husband.As hermione went with Ron to the door,she turned and said
"Happy Valentine's day!!"to her parents.They smiled.

The moment they were out,they made sure no one was seeing them.Actually,no one was there in the small street.So both of them held hands and apparated.They appeared in a big hall full of people.All pairs.All students from Hogwarts.They had all planned for a get together.The hall was beautifully decorated and everyone was in their best.

They saw a few familiar pairs.Neville and Luna.Dean and Lavender.Seamus and a hufflepuff girl.Blaise and Pansy.Draco and a slytherin (the only married couple)McLaggen and Cho...the list was endless.And who could miss the star couple Harry and Ginny who were surrounded by people?All of them paved way for the new couple.All of them stared at Hermione and Ron.Both of them were breathtaking.

They began talking.There was music and food and what not.Then a slow music played for which all the pairs started dancing slowly.The lights were dimmed and it was like being in heaven for all the couples.Mainly for Hermoine.It was the best day in her life.Ron was totally blissful.A scream was all it took to cause panic.

All of them got alert.They pulled out their wands.A woman who was dressed in green and whose dress was soaked in blood came into the hall .Ron and Hermione were close to her.A hooded figure came in.It murmured a spell pointing to that lady.Ron came in between and shot a spell at the hooded future.But he was late.A powerful green jet of light hit him on the chest and it was so powerful that it passed through him and hit the lady behind.

Before anyone could react,the figure vanished."ROOOOOOOOONNNN!!!!!!!"shouted his pair.He was immediately taken to St.Mungo's.There,they proclaimed him dead.He was hit with a stronger binding killikg curse that hit him,passed through him and hit the lady behind him.Hermione lost her lover.Her lover died.

So did her love.

Hermione came back to the present.Her eyes were moist.Exactly a year back,she had experienced her happiest and saddest day of her life.Her eyes met the blonde's eyes.She could see the similar pain.Similar terrible fate.

He looked into the mirror.He saw a stunning man in white shirt,black coat and pant with blonde tussled hair standing,with a green tux.He heard a click.He turned to see his love life.Astoria Greengrass.No.Astoria Malfoy.He grinned on thinking that he was indeed lucky to have such a beauty as his wife.

She was wearing a green strapless dress which was full length.It had red lace on the waist area and a beautiful white rose,her favorite flower.She wore an emerald necklace.Her black hair was in a bun with a few strands on her face,loosely hanging.A breathtaking beautiful fairy.They both hugged."You look so beautiful."he said."You say the same thing every day."she said.

They heard a knock on the door.A small boy of the age two with blonde hair and dark brown eyes was carried by the house elf."Scorpius dear!"said Draco as he lifted him.He smiled."Mum and dad will be back in an hour or two.Binx will take care of you."Astoria said.Draco and Astoria apparated to the big hall.

The party was going smoothly.Only that Draco was being stalked by someone.Someone he doesn't remember.Then when he tried to confront that person,he heard a familiar scream.He rushed to see Astoria covered in blood.A hooded figure cast a spell on her.Ron came in the middle and both of them dropped down.So did Draco.When he woke,he met with the fateful news of his wife.

He had lost his lover.His wife,lover died.

So did love.

He came back to reality when felt a pair of brown eyes seeing him.Drops of tears came running down his cheeks.He couldn't control the feeling of emptiness.He knew what Hermione had gone through.Both of them sat on the bench for a few minutes.Both knew their feelings couldn't be expressed by mere words.Both had lost their faith in love.Their love had died.Hermione got up,glanced at Draco who curtly nodded.Then she left for the burrow.This was the first time she met him after the party.

Draco sat there for a while lost in a pool of thoughts.It started to rain.It was the first time he had seen her after the party.He walked for a distance and apparated.Both of them were not friends nor they were enemies.They behaved like strangers.Both their lives had taken a twist after the party.

Both of them never realised that love never dies.It is always the reason why we live.Things we have lost have a way of coming back to us.Sometimes,things we get are better than the ones we lost.
