Chapter 1
Your Tears Burn My Heart
Story takes place when Bellatrix is torturing Hermione
Hermione screams fill the entire manor. Her high pitch scream shatters the heart of Draco. Draco, the one person that no one would think their heart would shatter over Hermione's screams. Everyone thought they hated each other. If a normal person would hear their fierce arguments they would think the same. But no, Draco loved Hermione. He loved her with a thousand suns. The moment he saw her on the first train to Hogwarts he fell in love. Fell in love with those chocolaty brown eyes, that thirst for knowledge, and her bubbly personality. Hermione may not be the wildest card but she did know how to have fun. And oh Merlin her beauty. He never knew how gorgeous she really was until the Yule Ball. He was breathless that day and wanted to immediately rip himself from Pansy and take her into his arms. Where he knew that she would fit perfectly. Only thing is, she would never know how much he loved her. And why would she, here he was watching silently at her getting tortured by his psychotic aunt Bellatrix. He wanted to do something, anything. If only he would speak up to his aunt. Hermione looked up at him with eyes full of desperation to do something. To make the pain stop.
"Aunt" he whispered.
She didn't hear it was muffled by the screams of Hermione.
"Aunt," he said a little louder, "Stop."
Once again she didn't here.
He did the only thing that came to mind.
"EXPELIARMUS!"
Bellatrix's wand shot out of her hand and into Draco's.
Draco was scared shitless. If his aunt could kill her cousin and not care she would easily kill her nephew.
The look in her eyes told him that he would be punished. Severely.
"DRACO! GIVE ME MY WAND THIS MOMENT!"
"NO!"
"Why not? You want to save this filth, Draco? Don't end up like a blood traitor like Sirius. You're one of us now, a Death Eater and she is a mudblood she deserves it. Hand over my wand now and you won't get hurt."
"How about her? Will you hurt her?"
"What do you think Draco?
He walked slowly to Bellatrix and held out his hand to only shout out
"PETRIFICUS TOTALUS!"
Bellatrix's body went rigid and fell to the floor before Draco and the shock on Hermione's face was a sight to see.
"Draco"
The sound of his name on her tongue sounded so good. Sounded like it was made for her to say.
"Hm?"
"Why? Aren't I a mudblood?"
"No, you're not, nowhere close. I only say that because I'm a Slytherin and I have to say that or I will be disowned by everyone else."
"Go now Hermione, leave and get your friends they're downstairs and don't tell anyone about what happened and one more thing."
Draco took out his wand and held Hermione's arm. The minute he touched her arm he felt a shock. Hermione felt it too. The tingling sensation of Draco's hand touching her arm. It felt meant to be. He preformed the Glamour charm on the word 'mudblood' that Bellatrix wrote. It hurt his heart knowing that she would have to live with that. Live with the fact that she would always feel like she was lower than the purebloods when in reality she wasn't. She was the brightest witch of their age. Draco began to turn around and modify his aunt's mind before she would kill him and hunt down Hermione until she grabbed his arm.
"Thank you, Draco."
"No problem, love."
And he walked away leaving Hermione in awe because of the words he just uttered.
