"They tried to kill me when I said I wanted out." Draco tells them

"But why, I thought you liked to hurt…" She looks at Tonks who shakes her head then whispers

"Now may not be a good time to mention anything, he looks in real bad shape." Tonks tells her

"Well what should we do with him, we can't take him back to headquarters, the others would finish the job. We could take him to my house; it's only a few houses down. If the neighbors ask we can tell them that he fell of his bike. My parents our out of town for the week so they won't mind." Tonks and Hermione load Draco on their shoulders and carry him to the house; lucky for them they saw no neighbors on the way. When they get in the house, Hermione cast a levitating spell on him and moves him up to her room.

Carefully she removes his clothes and starts to heal his wounds. Tonks leaves to make it look like nothing has happened.

Covering Draco with a blanket, Hermione goes down stairs to make something to eat. For she knows that he's going to be hungry when he woke.

An hour goes by and Draco wakes to the smell of food. He gets up and looks around, he sees a picture and notices Hermione as a little girl with her parents. He tries to get up, but feels cool air touching his body in a place it didn't usually touch. He looks down to see himself naked, and wonders were his clothes were. Instead of finding clothes he finds his wand and produces clothes on himself. Draco tries to stand and walk to the door, only to stumble into the door. He is able to regain his balance, and walks down the stairs. He follows his nose to the kitchen were food was waiting for him. Hermione looks up from her book and greats him with a smile.

They spend a quite time eating then, as Hermione clears the dishes she spins her wand a points it at Draco. A spell is shot through the air and hits him in the chest. Binding his legs and arms; she points his wand at his face.

"So what are you really doing here Malfoy, I know you don't really want to be good, you've been calling me a Mudblood for to long."

"To keep up my image, do you really think that I like picking people? Besides I don't like the entire killing they want me to do, I can't stand it. Why do you think when you healed me you didn't see the dark mark."

"I thought you've had it since sixth year."

"It was a tattoo that my mother had me remove at Christmas. She's the one who doesn't want to see me dead. She's the one who told me to leave. Right know she's being tortured on my were about." A tear runs down his face

"What about your father I…"

"To hell with my father, he could rot in hell for all I care. He's one of the ones who attacted me" Rage feels his eyes were sadness once was.

"Malfoy I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"That's right you didn't know! You don't know shit about me." The rage has not left yet, but it wants to. Draco hates that he has to yell at her, but his own father beat him.

"Malfoy you can't go to headquarter, Harry and Ron are there and they would kill if they saw you. Tonk's went back after we got you here so it would look like nothings wrong."

"Fine we can stay here at your house."

"No we can't, my parents will be home tomorrow." She thinks for a while then realizes she has an apartment on near headquarters. "We could stay at my apartment, it's in the middle of London, next to Diagon Alley."

"Fine lets go."

"Not just yet I have duty tonight and everyone knows I'm here at home for one more night. If I go back know they will suspect something." We have to stay here for now, we will leave when my shift is over." She looks up and into his green eyes, but doesn't hold the stare for long. "My shift starts soon, so you'll be on your own for a few hours. Stay away from the windows and if anyone comes touch the picture of my parents and me as a young girl. It should send you right to my apartment. It's safe there, no one can get in but me and now you."

"Is there anyone that should be coming by?"

"Not that I know of, but just in case you want to be careful. Harry or Ron could come and check on the house. If they do then there's a hide away behind my closet that not even they know about." She tells him

"Thank you Granger, I mean Hermione."

Half an hour later Hermione leaves for her duty, leaving Draco to himself in the house. He finds the bathroom and showers, conjures himself some new clothes. after he's done he walks back into Hermione's room, and hears a noise down in the living room. Remembering what Hermione says, but wanting to see who's here he goes down the stairs and sees
