Chapter 7: In which Draco gets a letter and cold feet
Four days later, after the green-eyed monster showed his face in Draco, the former got a letter from his very angry father. Very angry indeed.
Draco,
I am very disappointed in you, very disappointed indeed. To asscociate yourself with that... Mudblood! How dare you disgrace and drag the name of Malfoy through the mud by befriending a filthy, dirty, disgraceful to our race Mudblood and also friend of Potter´s. The person who killed one of the most incredible wizard of all the times, The Dark Lord, and sent your father and uncle Rodolphus into Azkaban. And she helped him, the filthy slag, she helped Potter. I, as your Head of House, order you to cut all of your ties with her. But because you have to take care of that little bastard, Potter, now that his incompetence has brought him almost helpless.
Also, please inform Blaise of the same things, although from his own father who is unfortunately, unable to write his son himself since he lost the privilege of sending letters due to misbehaiviour.
Your Father,
Lucius Abraxas Malfoy
Draco read the letter twice and then the trance and general state of happiness broke. He then remembered: he was a Pureblood. He did not associate with anything lower that a Half-blood, Mudblood not even considerd in the affair, no matter their title. Not even the Most Brilliant Witch of their Age. And he was going to act on it.
Two days of insulting and ignoring her later...
Hermione´s POV
I didn´t know what had gotten into Draco lately. There weren´t any times when I´d find him asleep with Harry on the couch after Quidditch practice, or chatting lightly and laughing with Blaise at the kitchen table while drinking coffee,or even talking to her without adressing her as ˝Mudblood˝. It hurt at first, having used to him being nice and sweet to her and Harry, but then she got used to it again and she thought it had been a mistake getting used to the nice Draco Malfoy. She was now calling him ˝Malfoy˝ or ˝ferrety-thing˝, but nothing worse, she was just too hurt by ˝Mudblood˝ to respond otherwise. She did still have Blaise and Ron and little Pansy( she was soooo cute and easy to love) and Harry.
Now she as having nightmares every night, and Blaise would come to comfort her every now and then. She was growing quite attached to the charming, dark Slytherin. He was always there for her, helping her and even choosing her over Draco when he first called her a ˝Mudblood˝two days ago. He had moved in her room together with Pansy so they did shifts every night when the little ones woke up. IF Draco was in any way disturbed by this arrangement, he didn´t show it. He was just grateful not to have to wake up. Also, Hermione slept better with Blaise in her room, actually managing to catch some sleep inbetween shifts and nightmares.
She went into the kitchen to fetch herself a hot cocoa mug and saw an already opened letter adressed to Mr. Draco Abraxas Malfoy 2nd. As she read the lines written in an elegant and arrogant way by Lucius Malfoy, she understood Draco´s sudden change of heart.
Author´s Notes: Hi, guys! I really tried with this chapter, but I didn´t have much inspiration. First of all for your questions:
-No, for the Blaise-Hermione shippers this is not going to happen in this story
-No, Hermione and Draco will not become an item in the next 2 chapters, but afterwards
Okay so hope you enjoyed and please review! Kisses, Mxxx
