Walking towards Draco, where he stood against the wall, hands in his pockets, and kissing him was not in the plan outlined by Ron and Harry, but Hermione took creative liberty in deviating. It was not in the plan either, the words that beelined straight from her heart to her mouth, without stopping in her brain to consider what she was saying. "Once I saw what was really there, it became abundantly, undeniably clear that I will never be anyone else’s ever again. I fell for you, Draco. And I want to trust you, to believe that you aren’t going to hurt me, but I know you will and I'm still not planning to pull my parachute. You can yell at me, you can have your opinions about my blood status, you can push me away, hell – you can light me on fire if it will keep you warm."
