Thank you for the review BloodRed 321. Your words given me hope what I've written wasn't a fail.
Let's see what magic I can do to redo this one!
Draco's P.O.V.
I've never thought that I'll be trapped in the infirmary with a Gryffindor sitting beside me. She was chewing me out again for not eating. But how can I be hungry? I feel empty. "Draco!" She hisses out and I've darted my eyes away from the angry female. "Please just eat. I'm worried about your health! Come on it's your favorite isn't it?" Hermione giggled as she tried to comfort me. I don't know why she is doing this. It's scary. Help.
Normal P.O.V.
Draco has been in the infirmary for about two months. Not that he was physically injured anymore. But the whitish blonde's mental state was still iffy. It was getting better even if Draco didn't trust Hermione fully yet. "I've told you, Ganger, that I do not want you calling me Draco." His voice was ever so light barely audible and Hermoine hugged the frighten male.
"Don't worry about that Draco. Trust me. I'll be here for you." The female was able to feel the trembling male's breath hitching. Pomfrey told her not to do physical contact, but Hermoine thinks it'll be better to show the physical contact so that he doesn't think getting beaten was normal and being shown gentle touches was odd. Draco didn't fight the need to lean into the warm embrace. Draco let out a gentle sigh as he relaxed into her chest and the single thought of "If only she is a man." Draco had a faint smile as he slowly dosed off since he was extremely tired still.
Hermoine sighed softly as she thought of how adorable Draco was snuggling up to her like a kitten. She was going to lay him back down on the pillow when she looked towards the sound of footsteps and stood before exiting Draco's closed curtains. Hermoine had her wand out and glaring at the intruders. When she realized who they were she glared even more before hissing out her words with venom. "What are you two doing here?" Her face fully red with anger as she remembered their last talk.
"Hermoine, I don't like the idea of you being alone with th-" Ron began but stopped when his girlfriend glared daggers into his soul.
"Finish that sentence Ron and see what you'll get." She hissed out before looking at Harry for his excuse of being here.
"I don't trust him Hermoine. Be careful." Was all Harry said before looking at Ron who nodded.
"Don't come back here. Not unless you are going to be helpful." Hermoine's voice was full of disappointment and sadness that her two beloved people were not being who they normally are just because of who someone use to be.
Neither boy replied as they left and the female just shook her head violently to reduce the tears building up. It made her curls shake as well. "You shouldn't have done that," Draco's voice muttered as Hermoine sat beside him again. "I hear the door open," Draco said carefully since it was a habit to wake up when more than one was in the room. He also can tell if it wasn't Hermoine, McGonagall, and Pomfrey.
"They'll live," Hermoine replied softly and brushed Draco's hair out the way. "You are going to eat later Draco. Right now sleep and build up your strength." The female's smile made his heart clench since it was filled with sadness. Nodding Draco closed his eyes so to please the brunette and was asleep before he even realized it.

Draco's P.O.V
I watch as Hermoine walks towards me with a wide smile and I felt frighten when all the eyes were on us. I didn't return the smile not because I didn't trust her. But because I feared she'll be ignored because of me. I haven't told her of my trust towards her yet, in fear of it'll backfire on me. I just wanted to keep this fragile friendship for however long I can get until Harry and Weasley take her away. Soon she had arrived and wrapped her slim arms around my neck and pulled me into a tight hug before letting go.
"Draco! Come and sit beside me!" Hermoine said before taking my hand without getting my reply. I followed anyways. Not that she was giving me an option.
"Hermoine is this okay?" I asked and only gotten a smile in return. She didn't reply as we went to the table. At the end, I've sat there while she sat beside some first year. From the corner of my eye, I can see Harry and the rat looking at us with pure anger.
I slowly began to eat since the last time Hermoine made me write an essay about not eating. She is frightening but in a good way. It just shows she cares about me. As we ate McGonagall call for our attention and the students looked at her.
"Students, since there's a lot of threats towards Draco," The old female sent a heated looked towards the house. "From the Slytherin's house they'll be reduces Three hundred points. As of Draco, He'll be going to Gryffindor. This never really happen but for the safety of Draco I'll allow this once. Hermoine Ganger will be there beside him so beware that I have an extra eye on Draco!" McGonagall ended the speech and then I looked at Hermoine.
"You knew?" I asked stunned and the female nodded without any making a sound. It made my heart tighten. She'll lose all her friends for this.
"Yeah I've been informed and that's why I brought you to the table. From now on we can eat together and we'll be safe and sound." Hermione said softly. I didn't know what to say. She was being so nice to me. I felt warm. Very warm inside. I felt loved by someone I can consider my sister.
Harry's P.O.V
I can't believe that Hermoine and Malfoy are getting along. He seems to be good enough for Hermoine to trust him. But why is it I feel like he's planning something? Clearly he isn't stupid enough to be planning something evil right? And the fact that he'll be living in the Gryffindor's dorm will be a bit...odd. Whoever heard of such thing? I can't believe I'll be residing with Malfoy and to make things worse he'll be sharing with us since we have an open bed! Ugh!
Normal P.O.V
Harry and Ron were getting dressed after a tiring night. Draco hadn't done anything to them in their sleep. He was there sitting by the window starting out to the beautiful night. Draco was already dressed and was now brushing his teeth before going downstairs.
"Harry what if Hermoine is right? What if Malfoy isn't the same Malfoy." Ron said for only Hary could hear. Ron was never an understanding person, but today he thought of how sad Draco had looked and how twitchy he had become by just a single look.
"What the hell Ron! He was a death eater! A death eater killed your brother!" Harry hissed and the look on Ron's face showed anger.
"Yeah, but Malfoy wasn't the one that killed him! If you go back to think about the war all Malfoy had done was nothing but made an easier path for us!" Ron got up to brush his own teeth.
Shocked at the words Harry groaned at the thought of both his best friends were going to try and become Malfoy's friend. He, however, wasn't falling for it. As the time went by all four were on their way to breakfast. Harry was lingering behind just a bit as he watched Ron apologize for his rude behavior and Draco nodding nervously as Hermoine looked pleased. As they arrived at the great hall Draco took in a shaky breath.
"What's wrong Draco?" Hermoine asked before looking into the hall. It was showing a picture of Draco being bent over and getting fucked. But not just anyone it was of his father doing such things to him. Just frozen there McGonagall was walking to breakfast herself and gasped.
"Merlin!" She sounded horrified before taking Draco into a tight hold. "It's alright sweetie, I will find those who had done this!"
Draco hadn't even realized he was crying nor that he was refusing what had happened. How could he have said, 'Yes. I was raped by my father when he found out that I am homosexual?!' Draco was just trembling as the painful memories returned.
After the picture was gone and Draco was outside by the lake along with Hermoine. Everyone went on eating. "Draco...Do you want to talk about your feelings?" She whispered and then went on to explain about getting a journal. Something to jot down his thoughts and feelings.
"Will that help me?" Draco asked softly feeling safe beside his friend. Safe for her to know he was gay.
"It'll help some, but there are times when you'll have to talk to an actual person." Hermoine smiled and lean her head back onto a tree behind them.
Smiling wickedly from afar a certain female began to plot of how to make Draco's life worse.
It isn't too different. Just added here and there, corrected some spelling. Let's hope this on is better too!
