Draco's POV
Why did she have to follow him? Why him? He walked as fast as he could down the corridors until he came to the wall where the entrance was. Draco was surprised to find Granger sitting there crying to herself. The moment she noticed him however, she stopped. He tossed an apple and a flask of pumpkin juice to her. She just looked at it like it was a large snake.
"You need to eat."
"And what if I don't want to?" She was just being stubborn.
"Then you can starve to death for all I care. At least I bothered to try. I'm not going to tube feed you."
"Then let me go."
"See Granger, I can't do that. If I did, you would go and tell everyone what you saw. Now, being a Slytherin, I choose myself over others."
"And, seeing as I'm in Gryffindor, I choose others over myself. Therefore, I wouldn't do something that would embarrass you like that. So you can let me go and I won't tell a soul."
"Ah, but Slytherins are also cowards, so I won't take that risk."
"You do realize that you just called yourself a coward, right?" She was sort of amused.
For the first time in a long time, Draco laughed. Then he did something that he, wouldn't have considered just a moment ago. He found the key and unlocked the girl. She looked triumphant and confused at the same time.
"Why did you let me go?"
"I honestly don't know."
"Thank you."
"Don't say that." She turned to leave. As she opened up the door he started thinking. It's really easy to talk to her. I always expected her to be one to judge, but she didn't. I wish I had someone like that. Then he realized that he did. HER. He flung the door back open and ran down the all after her.
"Granger! Oi, Granger!"
"Yes, Malfoy?"
"Will you meet me…in the Room of Requirement…tonight?"
"Why?" She sounded skeptical.
"Well, I…Well I don't know that either. It's just that you're really easy to talk to, and I need someone like that right now…" She nodded and gave him slightly sad smile.
Hermione's POV
Why would Malfoy want to talk to me? It must be some type of trick. But he sounded serious... I don't want to here anything that might haunt me the rest of my life though, and knowing Malfoy, anything he's kept a secret is something that will...but what if he genuinely needs my help? Then I'll help him. No matter what. No matter what he needs to tell me, I will be there for him...It's final. I have gone COMPLETELY bonkers.
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
