***As promised another chapter! I hope you like it guys!
Hermione was walking towards the dungeons. It was late but she wanted to see her father and talk to him. She hadn't seen him for over a week in private and she missed him. She was happy someone could say. Few days ago she had talk with Harry and he was still with her. He had accepted her and he had said that no matter what he would always be with her. She was feeling lucky for having such friends. She turned around to a corner towards her father's chambers. Suddenly she heard voices. She moved closer and realized that they were coming from her father's room. She stopped and leaned her body to the wall. She touched her head to the wall and waited to hear who was talking.
''Why don't you understand? I have to do this alone'' One of the voices yelled and Hermione realized that it wasn't a voice from an old men but from a boy. She couldn't see the movements or anything else but she could easily imagine the look at her father's face and someone raise his voice to him.
''Do not speak like this to me boy. I am here to help you.'' Her father said angry.
''He chose me, why can't you understand that. I am a Malfoy. I don't need your help.'' Draco said and Hermione gasped. He was chosen for what? Voldemort had chose Draco Malfoy to do what? She was puzzled. It is probably that reason that made Narcissa Malfoy to ask for help from her father. She was scared for her father but for Draco as well. Narcissa Malfoy was right. He was just a boy not a grown man. What in the world Voldemort wanted from him?
''Shut up Draco. If you want to do it by yourself then do it. But know one thing. I will be there to protect you. I don't care if you want it or not I will be there. Now get out.'' Her father said and Hermione immediately run from her place and hide to a corner. She heard the door open and after few seconds she saw Draco walking outside. He walked in front of her but he didn't saw her. Hermione shut to the corner for awhile. She didn't know if she wanted to go to her father or if it was better to go back to her common room. After few minutes she decided to go back to her common room. She was not in state to see her father. She was scared that he would understand that she heard something. She was walking now towards her common room and was thinking if it was right to tell Harry about Draco Malfoy but she decided against it. She knew that her father and Dumbledore knew what they had to do. Both of them were great wizards after all. She arrived at her common room and walked inside. She saw her best friends and went and sat with them.
''Hey guys'' She greeted them with smile
''Hey Mione'' They said in union and each of them gave her a smile. After an hour so while Ron was watching the fire and Hermione and Harry were reading in silence Harry asked ''Have you ever heard of this spell 'Sectumsebra'?'' and show the book to Hermione.
''No I haven't'' Hermione responded ''Why didn't you gave it back?'' She asked him with a frown
''Why would he Hermione? After all he had become top at Potions.'' Ron said but when Hermione glared at him he looked away
'I want to know who's book is this.'' Hermione said and went to take the book but Harry stood up and walked away
''You can't. It's old and worn.'' Harry said while trying to protect the book from Hermione
''Old and worn'' Hermione asked and moved towards Harry and he moved towards Ginny. She found the chance to take the book from Harry.
''It's in the property of the half blood prince.'' Ginny said and looked at Hermione
''Who?'' Hermione asked
''The half blood prince'' Ginny said again and threw the book to Harry who caught it and went and sat again to his place. Hermione then went and sat beside Harry again.
''Are you angry with me for wanting to know who's the book was?'' She asked him in a whisper
Harry looked at her and gave her a small smile ''Not at all Hermione, don't worry yourself.''
''Thank you! I think I am going to bed. Goodnight guys'' Hermione said and walked towards her dorm.
''Goodnight Mione'' They boys yelled behind her.
The next morning Hermione had a free period while the boys had practice.'' She was walking again at the Hogwarts corridors when she saw Draco on the floor. She moved closer to him and saw that he was clutching his stomach. She realized that he was in pain when he cursed. She took few more steps and kneeled beside him.
''What's wrong Draco?'' She asked him when she put her hand to his arm
''Why do you care Granger? Leave me alone.'' Draco said and hissed in pain
''Please let me help you. At least let me help you go to Madam Pomfrey.'' Hermione said with worry filling her eyes.
''I don't need your – Shit'' Draco cursed and felt something hot in his hands. He knew that it was blood but he didn't want Granger to see it.
''Draco please'' Hermione said and felt hot tears rolling down her cheeks
Malfoy looked at her shocked. He couldn't believe that Granger was crying for him. Suddenly pain ran through him and he cursed again ''Shit''
Hermione couldn't take it anymore. She looked closely and saw blood to his stomach. She gasped ''Draco you are bleeding. You need to go to Madam Pomfrey now. Come on'' Hermione said and helped him up. She helped him put his arm around her shoulder because she had to hold his weight for him. She started to walk fast but she was wishing deep down that she would walk quicker. They were few meters away from the Hospital wing when she felt very heavy and fell with Draco in her arms. She panicked when she saw that he had closed his eyes ''Draco, Draco please open your eyes. Come one Draco, we are almost there. Please open your eyes, please, please. Please Darco saty with me. Please, please'' Hermione was saying while shaking him slightly.
''I am- sorry Granger, I- can't- anymore'' Draco whispered and closed his eyes
''NO'' Hermione cried and clutched Draco tighter to her arms ''Please help me. HELP. PLEASE'' She yelled and suddenly she saw Madam Pomfrey coming outside from the Hospital Wing.
''Oh Merlin, what happened?'' She yelled
''Please help him. No time for explaining.'' Hermione said with tears rolling down her cheeks rapidly. Madam Pomfrey cast a spell and in moments Draco and herself disappeared and appeared to a bed to the hospital wing. Immediately she started to heal every wound and she ordered her assistants to give her the potions which were needed. Hermione was left in a state of shock but she managed to stand up. She walked towards the Hospital Wing while clutching her robe which was covered in Draco's blood near her body. She walked inside and saw all the medi witches above Draco's wounded body. She didn't dare to move closed. She was afraid of what she might see.
''My dear, what happened to him?'' Dumbledore asked her suddenly from behind
Hermione turned around and looked at him ''I – I don't know professor. I found him in the corridors and helped him towards here. But – on our way here we fell and I suddenly ealised that he was unconscious. Then I yelled for help and Madam Pomfrey came and now he is here like – like this and I am scared, so scared about him sir'' Hermione said while looking to the ground with her hands upon the blood to her robes. The tears had once again started to fall.
''My girl are you okay?'' Severus asked his daughter when he saw the state she was in. He moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her.
''I think I am dad'' She whispered and closed her eyes when she felt the heartbeat of her father. She was startled when Dumbledore spoke
''How is he Poppy?'' Dumbledore asked and Hermione took a deep breath when she saw the look Madam Pomfrey was giving to Dumbledore. She was scared for Draco. She didn't know why but she was feeling hurt. She thought that she felt something pulling her towards him when she touched him. But she was scared for her father as well. What about the unbreakable vow? Would he die if Draco dies as well? She didn't know what to think anymore and for that reason she concentrated to Pomfrey who hadn't answer yet. She took a deep breath again and said ''Madam Pomfrey please answer'' She was pleading to someone for her worst enemy. What had happened to her?
'' We have done the best we could. He is healing but I don't really know when he is going to wake up. I am sorry.'' Pomfrey said and went back to Draco to check again on him.
