« Yes .. I .. » she put a hand on his forehead and remembered everything. The newspaper, the death of his mother, Draco cried when she fainted.
« My mother .. she died. I left London, and she died because of me. » She burst into tears and trembled a little. Draco sat beside her and took her in his arms again. « I think she'll end up crying when I'm here. » he thought.
« What I am supposed to do ? And how my father is now ! » she yelled, « I have to apparate in London.
« Hermione is too dangerous. »
« But I have to see him ! I have to ! »

After dinner, Draco was in the guest bedroom's bed and sent messages to Blaise with his cellphon when someone knocked on the door. He shouted "Enter", the door opened revealing Hermione wearing a nightie, hair tied in a loose bun that suited her so well. He put his phone on the bedside table and sat up. Hermione approached the bed and sat on it.

« Huh? »
« Why are you nice to me? » she repeated, « you comfort me, you .. kiss me on the cheek or forehead. You make me hugs. Why ? You're not supposed to hate me? »
« I do not hate you, » he answered directly. « I was raised to detest you because of your blood because you're the best friend of Potter, but I wanted the sorting hat to put you in Slytherin so I'll have a reason to be your friend. But I've never hated you. Instead I wanted to be your friend. »
Hermione affected by his speech went over to him and put it under the covers. She put her head on his chest and wrapped an arm around his belly. She closed her eyes and said.
