What happens when Draco Malfoy turns up on Hermione Grangers doorstep late one evening. Will she help him or turn him over to the ministry, after all he is partly responsible for the headmasters death?

"Very soon though we were half way throught the year and I was no closer to achieving my mission than I was at the beginning. I became panicked and frantic. I hardly ate and was lucky to get and hour of sleep a night. I became desperate and attempted many half thought plans that ended up falling into the hands of fellow students. The end of the year was drawing to a close and I just couldn't do it, I couldn't complete the cupboard in the Room of Requirements. I was going to fail and my mother was going to die."

How had this happened? Lucius kept screaming over and over again in his head. He was so furious he could hardly see straight but that didnt stop him from destroying every last worthless object in sight.

No, no, no, no, no!
This could not be happening. No way in hell!
But this is hell isn't it, Hermione thought to herself as she run out the front door of her house, and the devil himself is standing right in our front yard!
