An Author's Note: Hello! I just wanted to make a quick little note before you started on my story. The story takes place after the war. And the students had come back to Hogwarts to help rebuild and continue taking their classes. And there are two point of views in the story which are, Draco and Hermione. After all this is a Dramione. It is for mature audiences only as it does have cursing, violence and sexual themes.

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, they belong to the fantastic author that is, J.K. Rowling.

And now, I introduce you to my story:

Slytherdor

A Dramione Fanfic

Chapter 1: Rebuilding Hogwarts

Draco Malfoy was a changed man. He no longer believed in the whole blood purity bullshit his father, Lucius always tried to brainwashing him into thinking they were so much better than any other lower blood families halfbloods and mudbloods alike. His father fell shortly after Potter finally finished off Voldemort for good. And most of his followers had either fallen with him, switched sides or in Azkaban. Draco was surprised he didn't end up being sent to Azkaban after all, he was a former Death Eater only because of his father, of course. He was always kissing Voldemort's ass. Which was ridiculous considering the whole blood purity. For fuck sakes, Voldemort himself was only half-blood so why should my father and all the other purebloods like us have to worship some half-blood? Voldemort preaching about taking down muggles and mudbloods getting rid of all the lowlife piece of shit lower blood status witches and wizards. I had had enough of it. And I was sorta glad that my father had fallen soon after, he died in Azkaban. Some people were still living in fear that Voldemort would come back somehow, but we all knew that after all of the horcruxes were destroyed there was no way of him ever returning.

After Hogwarts took a bad beating during the battle, McGonagall had assigned the lot of us to help rebuild the castle. It was still 7th year, most of us all had our school work done after we had a memorial for all that had fallen in the great battle. All of the houses were mixed in together in groups, everyone was getting along surprisingly. In the group I was assigned to had Potter, Weasel-be, Loony Lovegood, Lavender Brown, Weaselette, Blaise, Pansy, and Granger, of course. The lot was getting along apart from Weasel-be and Granger, they weren't talking because he was back together with Lavender. I would sometimes see Granger looking over at Weasel with sad eyes. Apparently, in 6th year Ron was with the Brown bird and Granger had some crush on him, funny I had always thought she had liked Potter more than that bloody ginger. I scowled every time I caught Granger looking over to Weasel. What exactly did she see in him? That fiery head of hair, shit spells, and nasty short temper? I didn't understand it.

I had grown tired of denying my true feelings for Granger, I had liked her for years I just couldn't pursue her like I had wanted to since my family against muggleborns so, I had to act like I didn't like her. Calling her a mudblood especially stung every time I'd call her it. A flash back came to Draco's mind. "You filthy little mudblood!" Draco spat at Hermione Granger. She tried to hide the tears to not give in to his taunts and give him the satifaction that he actually hurt the Gryffindor Know-It-All. "You foul loathsome evil little cockroach!" Hermione growled back proud of that sentence. They had forgave each other after Draco ended up switching sides. He came back to reality and shook that thought out of his mind. He didn't like hurting her feelings seeing it truly did hurt her.

"Oi, Malfoy!" Blaise shouted at me, which took me away from my thoughts as reality set in.

"Yeah?" I turned to look over at Blaise and Pansy helping Weaselette and Loony rebuild one part of the towers on the east side of the castle.

"Drake, we need your help lifting this big rock up so we can attach it back on." Pansy called to him.

"Oh, alright. I guess it would make sense that you lot would need me being as I do have more power." I joke, even though I was quite good with my spells.

They all rolled their eyes at Draco and Blaise replied, "yeah, yeah.. Just come over here and help us."

"Okay, one, two, three!" Draco and the others yelled, "Reparo" and the giant rock lifted into the air and reattached itself to the rest of the tower.

Draco smirked proudly. "See? If you didn't have me here you wouldn't have gotten that up there." Draco spouted at them.

"Oh, please Malfoy. If you weren't here we would have just asked Hermione to do it." The weaselette retorted.

"Where is Granger? I haven't seen her in awhile."

"She's probably up in the library." Loony said quietly.

"Or in the Gryffindor Common Room. Why do you wanna know anyways, Malfoy?" Ginny answered.

"I was just wondering, what difference does it make? She should be down here helping you lot instead of having me doing it. I need a break. I think I'll go have some lunch. See you Blaise, Pansy." They nod at me and I walk around the castle's main entrance.

I decided I wouldn't go off to lunch first. But go have a look in the library for Granger. The lot didn't need to know why I was asking about Granger, it's my own business can a bloke not ask about a person in the same group? Did I not apologize from all the shit I did to them in previous years? Potter ended up forgiving me after having to save my ass in the Room of Requirement I was quite surprised he'd be so easily forgiving but I was glad. Weasel on the other hand still got his trousers in a twist saying how mad Potter was so easily forgiving and accepting of me. Figures. He'd spat insults my direction any chance he'd get, which is fine I knew I riled him up so it was a bit of fun. Just as long as he kept out of my way. I was glad when I found out he was back with Lavender. That made it easier for me, I would have thought that is if Granger was around more.

I finally reached the library and I skimmed the rows of bookshelves and tables until I found Granger sitting alone at one of the back tables. She looked upset but nevertheless buried in a book. She flipped through a few pages of her favorite book, Hogwarts: A History. I didn't want to admit that I saw a lone tear slowly sliding down her cheek and that it bugged me, I hate to see Granger upset. So, I decided it was best to look through a few bookcases to find a book to read, as well. I didn't really find any interested but I soon hear a quiet shuffle and a chair scooted against the floor. I walked back to the table where Granger was sitting and the table was vacant.

"Damn," I said quietly so no one could hear me and turned around to walk out the entrance of the library and followed the hallways toward the Gryffindor Common Room, and that's where I saw her sitting on one of the benches in a corner out of sight where nobody would really see her unless they were actually following her. She was crying her eyes out. My heart clenched up, I hated whatever it was that made her cry. All I wanted to do was go and comfort her but I wasn't sure if it would be right considering who I am.

"Bloody hell," I mumbled in a low voice making sure she couldn't hear me. I walked over to the bench where she was, I guess she didn't hear me as I sat down. I lightly grabbed one of her arms towards me, it must have startled her but she didn't pull away. So, I pulled her to my chest and she wrapped her arms around me as she put her head on my shoulder trying to fight back the tears with no avail. I lightly stroked her chocolate curly hair that was no longer bushy anymore. She sobbed quietly, taking breaths every few minutes and sniffling.

"It's alright, Granger. I'm here." I say to her trying to comfort her. She sniffled, again but doesn't respond.

There was a random loud bang at the end of the long hallway that seemed endless. It made Granger jump. But she ignored it and took another deep breath then exhaled before saying, "Malfoy?"

I wasn't sure what to say because I've never been one to comfort people, but I replied with a "Mhm?"

And she released her arms around my neck, backs up so there is more space between us and looked up at me. "Why did you come here and hold me?"

Fuck! What do I say? I clear my throat and said, "Well, you looked sad and I didn't see anyone else around to comfort you and I thought you needed someone to talk to."

She stares at me questionly and asks, "do you wanna know why I'm upset?"

"That's why I came over here." I smile at her.

"Remember when Voldemort was at large still before we came back to Hogwarts this year?" She asks.

"Of course." I answer.

"Well, I decided since he was going to try to rid the world of muggles I went to stay at the Burrow with the Weasley's,"

I shift uncomfortably, but she doesn't notice and she continues. "But before I went to stay with them I felt it would be better to erase my parents' memories of me and take them to a safer place where they couldn't be harmed by him or any of his minions. And after that whole battle, I still haven't got a chance to go where they are staying to bring them back home. And they haven't got a clue that they even had a daughter. And ontop of that because Ron has been acting so cold to me because he's back with Lavender."

I shift, again this time she notices. "What?" She asks.

"Nothing, it's just you can go to after the year is over to bring back your parents, it's not like it would matter right now anyway since you're still at school. I'm sure they would be missing you terribly while you were here if they weren't under the spell. So, in a way it's a good thing plus you did do it with good intent, Granger. And about Weasel with that Brown bird, don't even worry about it. Eventually, he'll realize what a prat he is for breaking your heart and he'll be running back to you with open arms and apologies."

She was looking down at the floor after I brought up her parents but she looked back up once I brought up the weasel.

"Doesn't seem like he puts an effort into actually wanting us to be friends at all, anymore. Thanks to that bitch." I look up at her, surprised that Granger would ever cuss.

"Wow, Granger. I'm surprised you would talk like that. I like this side of you."

"What? I'm just being honest, that's how I feel. She always was a slag." I chuckle, this is definitely a side of her I've never seen, I really like it.

"That's true, I'd hear she had wanted to shag me, but I had no interest in her whatsoever."

"Because she's a Gryffindor?" She looked at me with curious eyes.

"No, just not into types like her." I answered honestly.

"Types like her, what slags? But I thought Pans-" She cut off short afraid she would offend his housemate and he'd get mad considering they use to be together at one point.

"You thought what about Pansy? That she was a slag?" She nodded.

I chuckle a bit. "Well, I'll admit she was a bit like that Lavender girl, yes. But believe me, after being around Blaise and I, she changed. I mean she was worse in the years before but she's gotten better being with Blaise, now. He's a good mate, he treats her right. They aren't that much affectionate when it comes to being out in public but in the Common Room, they're quite different than you think Slytherin's would be."

"Weren't you two together at one point?"

"We were but it just didn't work out that way plus like I said that was back when she was a bit more of a slag so, that's all she ever wanted and I gave in just to shut her up." After saying that, I look over to Granger staring at me. Fuck... Maybe, I shouldn't have told her that. Everyone said she was still a virgin and that's one of the reasons why weaselbee got with Brown to begin with. Then I hear Granger sniffle quietly like she's trying to hide it. I shift closer to her to try to comfort her, again and I wrap my arm around her and tuck a loose curl behind her ear.

She buried her head in my chest and starts to sob, again. "It's alright, Granger. It's alright. Ron doesn't deserve you." She shifts out of her position after I say that, and I immediately regret it.

"How do you know that he doesn't deserve me, Malfoy? Where the hell do you even get off on telling me who deserves me?"

"Because he doesn't treat you right, Granger. Look at you! You're a mess, crying over him. Is he the one whose here in my place? No, he's not."

"Why are you here, Malfoy? You use to hate me and call me names. All you ever did was insult me and my friends! And now, you're here. Out of nowhere. I don't get it! What do you want from me? Is this some sick joke?" I looked at her stunned by all of her accusations.

"No, Granger it's not. And I've apologized many times for insulting you and your friends. And I never hated you. I'm just trying to make a point about how it just goes to show what a real prat Ron has been to you. He always had Potter and you cleaning up his messes. And this time, Potter's not around dealing with this. I'm not even sure why you even try or want to be friends with him if he's going to act like this towards you. It's not worth it. Look, I know it's none of my business I'm just trying to show you that it's not worth it. You need to not dwell on this. It's not like you can avoid them. Like I said, he'll get rid of her eventually. Then he'll realize what a mistake he made after treating you like this."

Granger's face looked so shocked. It's like she had never heard the truth before. I guess she hadn't realized that a stray tear seeped it's way down her cheek then she blinked and wiped her eyes on her sleeve that's when she spoke up. "Yes, you are right, Malfoy. This isn't any of your damn business."

"Bugger this." He got up from the bench and started up the hallway. He couldn't believe after all that trying to convince her how Ron treating her wasn't right. Alright then, Granger next time something happens and it's Weasel-be's fault don't expect me to be around, he thought. He was just about to turn the corner to go have lunch, he heard foot steps behind him that made him stop in his tracks. He turned around to see who was running up behind him.

A/N: And cue in dramatic music. "DUN DUN DUN!" Haha

So, I left a cliffhanger as you can tell.

Who is this mysterious person behind him?

And wanted to get your opinion on this first chapter, if you think I should continue it or not.

I feel like some of the puncuation is off, if it is please, forgive me. I don't have any spell checker or puncuation checker because I am using WordPad, at the moment. It's what I use to write all my stories. And I have notepad on my computer, as well I just can't stand notepad.

I also wanted to point out that I have first 7 chapters done. I'm currently in the middle of writing Chapter 8.

But I need to go back and re-edit all of the paragraph lines of each chapter because they're completely off.

Anywho, I hope you enjoyed reading this first chapter. I feel like the first chapter and last chapters are always the most difficult for me to write. ~VampireQueenBrittany
