She goes off to Hogwarts, as ignorant of what happens at home as always. And someone notices her behavior changing towards the opposite sex… Draco Malfoy. He notices how she has always been open, yet protective of herself towards boys and men. And he slowly falls in love with her. And he slowly awakens feelings in her she didn't know even existed.

Prologue-

He took another drink of whisky and gently set the bottle on the table. He loomed over her as he began to fiercely remove her clothes.

He entered her with a sly look on his face, Hermione cringed at the pain. Sweat was around both there bodies by this point, only, it was all his. Hermione lay under him, with her eyes closed thinking of her friends back at Hogwarts; she gets to see them soon! She thought. All the while she was trying to ignore the pain. He had been doing this since she was only 5 years old, and she was now 16. And that didn't include the beatings that went on daily.

When he was finished he looked over at her with a smile, and left with a wink after putting his clothes back on. The room was muggy and smelt of seamen, whisky and sweat, nothing new. Hermione pulled over the thick covers, and began to cry under her own breath.

Chapter One

She stood up and looked into her bed room mirror, naked. She was looking at all the scars she had grown to love over the past years, and all the fresh cuts she would be sure to love. She then walked into her bathroom and sat on her linen basket for a few minutes, before she walked over to her shower. She then turned on the water, and let the heat, and steam, cover her body.

She finished buttoning her jeans, grabbed her shoes and went downstairs to the sitting room. She sat down on the seat across from her mum.

"Hermione darling, you missed breakfast this morning. Are you feeling alright? You're going back to Hogwarts today! Aren't you happy?" Her mother said with a concerned look upon her face.

"I'm happy; I just didn't get much sleep last night. I'm so excited to go back to school!" She responded to her mother with a false smile across her face. But when was the last time she was happy, truly happy? 11 years ago, before Richard had ever came into her life?

"Well, you have your bag waiting for you in the car. Best be off if you're to catch the train to Hogwarts. Gerry! Time to go to the train station!" Her mother yelled to her father as she stood up and entered the front hallway.

"Alright Miranda, I'm just grabbing Richard! Be there in a moment!" Her father called back as Hermione and her mother walked out the front door, and walked over to the car.

Her mother sat in the passenger's, and Hermione sat in the seat behind her mother.

"Oh, I'm going to miss you Hermione dear. You're sixth year at Hogwarts, oh it's gone by so fast. You're already 16… practically a woman." Her mother said as her eyes watered, about to let out a tear.

"Alright Miranda, were ready." Gerry said as Richard and he entered the car. Gerry sat next to his wife, and Richard next to Hermione.

"I'm really going to miss you, Mione!" Richard said as he gave Hermione a tight hug, and kissed her cheek.

"I'll miss you to, Ricky." Hermione responded as she turned her head and looked out the window.

About a fifteen minutes later they arrived at the train station. It had been utter silence in the car. They all stepped out of the car to bid Hermione farewell.

"Oh, your sixth year at Hogwarts, Just imagine! My beautiful girl, all grown up." Her father said as he gave her a hug and kissed her hand.

"Now, did you pack everything dear? Don't want to get to school and notice you've forgot to pack your positions book." Her mother said as her eyes filled with tears.

"I have everything mum. I'll be back for Christmas, you can see me then, I will right you every week if I can. I love you all; I'm going to miss you!" Hermione said as she gave her mother and father a farewell hug.

"I'm going to miss you Mione, I love you, ah, and I'm going to miss you at night… Goodbye, love." Richard said as her parents sat back into the car, and waited for her cousin to say his farewell.

He gave her a quick kiss on the lips so her mum and dad wouldn't see. And then he gave her one last hug and a kiss on the neck, and he walked away and got into the car.

Hermione's face had a look of disgust on it as she whipped her lips.

They drove away, and she was free… until Christmas at least.
