AN ENCOUNTER WITH

DRACO MALFOY

A/N my take on what could have happened in hbp

Hermoine granger walked in the darkned halls of hogwarts during the night . it was 12 am after curfew and she just couldn't sleep ,she had a lot on her mind and she was on verge

of losing her sanity .Where it came from she never knew the sudden jealousy of ron and lavendar ,harry's secret book and the secret of half blood prince and war . War the word itself scared her she didnot knew what to do she was surprised none of friends were taking this seriously she tried to gather D.A togather but failed after what umbridge really did with them.

she wanted everyone to trian and in a combat both phsyical and mental because as soon the war hits noone will able to protect himslef or herslef from it they should atleast self defence.

but noone was intersted in why prusue the plan when noone's intersted ?

As she made her way to left where it led to astronomay tower she was a dark figure going upstairs curious and wand out she followed the figure until it reached the very top . she just came through the door and brought her inside of tower as it was pitch dark she couldn't see she bumped into something ,that something was hard and stiff ,it didnot move or made a sound , hermoine decided to use her hands , she felt hair and skin through it , still the person didn't flinch or yelled at her for doing something implusive.

Hermoine lit her wand and spoke " lumos" the wand lit up and in bright light she saw the shadow of draco malfoy or what was left of malfoy .

"MALFOY ! what are you doing here ? what happened ? what's wrong? are you ok ? malfoy, malfoy , malfoy can you hear me "? hermoine began to panic . she never saw draco malfoy in such a pathetic state he was sitting down with knees hugging his chest and he seems to be well shivering altough he was wearing his black suit and all he still couldn't stop shaking . His eyes were deep red as if he spent hours crying and his blond hair was falling in forhead , cold sweat was breaking through his skin and his breathing was shallow .He didnot acknowledege hermoine as he just hugged his knees much tighter as shaking was worsening . hermoine didnot know what to do expect wait and watch which seemed to be only way . but slowly she was getting impatient she softly touched his hand which was ice cold that made only situation much more worse as his blue grey eyes filled with tears .

" BUT I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT TO BE ! I NEVER WANTED TO BE ! LEAVE ME ALONE PLEASE ! " draco malfoy screamed at her touch . hermoine yanked her hand away and could only stare what he was saying she had no idea she decided to speak now "malfoy please ... "

" what do you want from me ? what have i ever done to you ? i have been a good son to you throughout my life , what do you want ? why should i be like you ?" draco spoke to her with a look of demanding answers from her . hermoine blinked her eyes son ? what is he saying ? what is he talking about ? who does he think he's talking to ? this confused hermoine more and it frightened her .

Draco started sobbing his sobs were soft and almost like whispers . tears fell down and touched his lips , hermoine then flet very sorry for him , she gently brushed those away.

" please mother i don't want to , please he's cruel and evil just like father , he has no morals and he's hungry for power ,i will be the priah mother everyone will hate already hate me. i will have no life no school no ambitions nothing i will just be nothing harry potter cannot save me , ron weasley will kill me , bliase and pansy will abandon me even crabbe and goyle have joined him too they have nothing to do and hermoine granger she...will only depise me more " draco spoke agian with a haunted look in his eyes and sobbing agian .

Hermoine was surprised again she never expected draco to say that or anything regarding her and her friends , hermoine put two and two togather draco was reliving in a memory , she read it in books where human pshycology was concerned people who are under lot of stress and pressure are bound to crack at some point . With tears in her eyes she saw draco malfoy break again and agian . " no she won't " she said refusing to let him break " you donot want this and yet you sound like you are being forced but mind you i don't whole truth so i can't properly say for others as for me i can't hate you " she gently placed her hand in his hand and squeezed it . what made her say that she donot know but right now she wanted to hlep him as much as she want to save the world from this ugly war . draco 's expression changed it now turned into a silly grin a kind of grin that appears only when someone is dreaming hermoine edged a little from him his look scared her .

" you know what potter ? you did the right thing , you did right thing by refusing my friendship , because if you did you would have died long before this and i would have been cause of your death " he said it with a foolish expression

God now he thinks she's harry ? hermoine could only let him go on the shock was taking over him now and now he was trance and he could come out of it until he decided to come.

hermoine wondered wether draco malfoy has lot his sanity now because going to person to person wasn't normal infact none of this was normal.

" potter " he spoke agian " iam sorry ok ? iam sorry for everything , iam sorry for putting you in hell , iam sorry to weasley even though i don't like him much and iam truly sorry to granger too tell her will you ? i now realize what your life must be like no wonder you have coming through iam sorry for everything potter , for your parents , your childhood . your friends , iam really really sorry harry " his eyes filled with tears agian.

Hermoine swore she heard her heart break . the tears she had been holding spilt and fell down her eyes , she couldn't speak only cry just cry he was apologising and in this state hermoine wished she could do something her breath stopped and she just put her fist in her mouth to not to actually make a sound . draco however was in other world he didnot speak

his eyebrows knitted in fury another mood swing hermoine thought miserably she wondered who was now in his mind and who would he make out be

" so you are a deatheater " draco whispered to her dangerously " you lied didn't you ? dumbledore defended you,yet you lied . you are triator severus that's what you are you are fooling everyone and i should hand it to you pray tell how can you save me from him? i know you made that vow for me but you didn't need to that because i will die i will be killed your acts can't save me snape " he spoke dangerously low his hand curled into fist and his face was red , hermoine thought of best of this and spoke " no you would't die you won't be killed i promise you will be saved i ... i will save you " she promised him only for his deaf ears , mixed thoughts were jumbled in her mind she wanted to save draco yet snape was a deatheater .

draco let out a shrill cry and clutched his arm as he was being tortured his body shook and he began to sob agian " PLEASE PLEASE STOP ! PLEASE " draco started screaming and shook .

hermoine flung her arms to calm him down this halluciation or memory or whatever was the worst one he just couldn't stop crying he didn't calm and continued to shake as if he was in great pain

" PLEASE ,PLEASE STOP NO, NO , NOT HER , SHE 'S INNOCENT " he cried out agian

hermoine could only hold him

" NOT HER , PLEASE NO NOT MY MOTHER TAKE ME HURT ME JUST NOT HER" draco's screams continued like a prisoner who's forced to lie on coals .

hermoine could only cry for him

" ALRIGHT FINE, FINE I WILL DO IT I WILL TAKE THAT VILE THING! LEAVE HER PLEASE PLEASE ! " draco's screams worsened . hermoine wondered what really happened with his mother . someone or voldemort has threated or tortured him by using his mother as a tool he just couldn't stop shaking she tried to calm him agian .

"draco its ok they are not here noone is going to your mum please just please relax " hermoine stroked his hair as she spoke as he slumped down and cried agian burying his nose on her neck " iam so sorry sorry sorry sorry " to who he was apologising she knew not but decided to stroke his hair as this seemed to calmed him. softly hermoine sang some muggle nursury rhyme . this used to soothe her when she was in panic attack . she hummud the tune and stroked his hair again draco seemed tired his eyes were dropping and he was quickly falling asleep hermoine stroked his hair again and again " so ...sooo...so ...rry he ...her ...her ...mione " and fell asleep . hermoine jumped , his broken whisper shook her to the core and her bones absorbed she closed her eyes and replayed his whisper his whisper so sweet and sincere which he really sounded she knew he was halluciating and this disappionted her she wished she could wake him up that she forgived him tell him she will hlep him but she doesn't want to ruin his sleep .

as day approached she woke up and saw frist lights of sun she turned and saw draco who had tightly wrapped himslef through her body ,she knew someone might be looking for them. she stroked his face and hair and kissed him gently as in not to wake him up . he smiled . his dreamy smile made her heart clench and she squeezed his hand for one last time

" don't you worry " she said " i will save you no matter what and if nothing hleps i don't really hate you " she whispered and this time she meant it.

severus snape woke up and groaned there was constant knocking on the door and he made his way he opened his door to find hermoine granger standing with draco malfoy leviating above her " i believe i have something of yours " she acknowleged him stiffly .placed him in his bed and wrapped him in quilt . an act he had seen before through someone else about 20 years ago . :"just so you know the world isn't really black and white there are grey shades too all we can do not to quick judge anyone who clearly made a mistake and never had chance to improve it " with this the girl headed out and severus snape sat down remembering the same sentence lily evans said same thing to him 20 years ago .

my frist dramoine i never wrote any dramoine before and i love them to bits ... what do you think ?
