Never Thought I Could Feel Like This

A Hermione and Draco love story.

Draco looked at her stunned. "I take you into my house, stop the Dark Lord from killing you and ask me why? You do not need to know! You ungrateful little Mudblood!" He yelled at her. Hermione swore the whole house would hear. Draco picked up her shoe and pulled out the bag. "What is this, tell me now!" He yelled at her again.

Hermione looked down. "That's my bag that I had for traveling it has undetectable extension charm on it, you can look inside if you want it's just books and potions, clothes, and such." She said to him quietly.

He looked inside seeing there was nothing that she could use to be harmful in there he put it back on her bed. "You are allowed to keep this." He said.

For the first she noticed his hair was not slicked back it was all mussed up around his face. He must have gotten up not to long ago. "Thank you." She said quietly to him.

"Do you really want to know why you are still here, why I asked the Dark Lord to keep you alive?" Malfoy asked her.

Hermione nodded curtly, afraid he would lash out on her if she spoke again.

Draco looked away from her feeling a bit ashamed of himself. "You saved me, with Potter of course. Weasley has already been saved, the Dark Lord will not kill him he too much of a hero, he's strong and powerful the Dark Lord could never kill such an asset. Yet of course he would of killed you but he favors me he would accept that you might even be useful in telling him how you learned what you did, therefor I was allowed to save you. It was all I could do to, to get even with Potter." He said, then he looked at her. "Now I must be going if you need anything call upon an elf you can't leave the room there is a bathroom through the door. Tonight you will be leaving the room so you better wash up and put something nice on the Dark Lord is visiting and he will want to make sure our little Mudblood is behaving." He said slamming the door.

Hermione stared at the door starting to cry again. She missed Harry and Ron they were her best friends and she would probably never see them again. Well she knew she would never see Harry again, she might see Ron if he was as Malfoy said in the Dark Lords favor.

Hermione stood up and walked into the bathroom it was spacious a nice bath with serpent legs she noticed there were green towels. Everything seemed to be green every little thing. She filled the bath with steaming water that was not too hot but just right. She slipped in this was her first time being able to really clean her self in months it felt wonderful. She cleaned her hair and then she cleaned the rest of her self off.

Hermione relaxed loving the warmth of the bath. The bath water turned cold, she got up and wrapped herself in a towel, wrapping her hair up as well. She looked in the wardrobe finding a suitable green dress that looked like it would fit. She put it on along with underwear and a bra. She let down her hair. Great she thought now I can't do anything to fix my hair without a wand at least I can brush it. She took the brush that was on the table and brushed through her hair.

There was a knock on her door. "Come in." Hermione said as she saw a house elf walk in the creature looked pitiful, it was like her a prisoner in this house and yet it was still serving her.

"Here is your food, Master Draco said you would be needing a lunch and thought you would not ask for it." The house elf said.

"Why thank you." Hermione said uncovering the food that was on the table, it smelled delicious. "What is your name?" She asked the house elf.

"Aspen." Said the elf. Hermione decided the house elf was a girl. "Well I must be going I was also told just to deliver your food and go." She said as she quickly left the room.

Hermione looked after the elf. She finished her food quickly, it had tasted wonderful, just some pasta with bread, and another cup of tea. Yet still the best food she had in months.

The rest of the day she spent reading waiting for Draco to come and drag her to Voldemort. She was in the middle or reading A History: Of Hogwarts. When Draco burst into her room. She quickly closed her book and stood up.

Draco looked her over. "That will have to do Mudblood." He said as he grabbed her putting her hands in shackles and taking her down the stairs.
