After he woke around five, Draco went to search for where he saw Hermione. He finally found it, two hours later, but couldn't find a trace of her. He even went through what would have been the barrier, nothing. He admitted defeat and started to walk towards where he thought his camp would be.

After four more hours of walking, he made it back to his campsite. He was beginning to wonder if he had just imagined seeing her and just fell asleep deep in the woods. Doubting himself, he thought about what could have really happened. He could have gotten so desperate to see her that when he sat down to relax towards the end of the night, he fell asleep and dreamed of her. He shook those thoughts out of his head. He knew he had seen her and had been so close he could have touched her. Wishing that he had, he began to pack up.

Once everything was all packed he realized that he didn't know where he was going to go.

I could always go back to school and say that my trip was over. But then they might have already realized that my mum wasn't the one who said I could go. With no other choice, he decided that he would risk going back to Hermione's house to find another forest to try.

When he arrived, the house looked exactly as it had the last time. He walked up to the front door and proceeded to cast Alohamora on the lock and heard the door unlock. As he opened the door and stepped inside, he saw that absolutely nothing had changed about the house. Nothing had been moved, nothing had been touched, no one had sat on any of the couches. It seemed strange that her parents weren't here. He shook it off and went to the stairs. He walked into Hermione's room and immediately knew that he hadn't imagined seeing her last night, she smelled exactly like this.

He looked at all of her pictures and realized that he had been to all of these forests besides one. Underneath the picture was a caption, "Dad and I camping in Dean's Forest". He took one last look at the picture and dashed out of her room, down the stairs, and out the door. Even though it seemed like no one had been home in weeks, he didn't want to risk them coming home now. As he apparated to the forest in the picture, he thought of how Hermione must have felt to see him after he had hidden his feelings for her with hatred.

Hermione's POV

How could Malfoy think that I would ever want him to comfort me?! He has been nothing but mean to me throughout our whole time at Hogwarts! And now that I'm on the run, he decides to show sympathy? Hermione couldn't make sense of it.

"He did seem like he genuinely cared about me. But he was always calling me a mudblood." She was pacing in their small tent and pivoting every time she changed her mind about Draco. "He didn't try to hex me or even go to grab his wand. But he also didn't apologize for six years of tormenting me."

"Hermione, Draco is a spoiled, self-centered twat. Why would he be out here in the forest in the first place? He is probably looking for people who are hiding as to not get arrested, like we are." Hermione had to agree with Harry on the spoiled, self-centered part, but after how Draco acted towards her, she doubted he was doing anything for Voldemort out in the woods.

"But he was just so...nice! It doesn't make sense why he wouldn't have grabbed me right then and turned me in. He's never cared about how we felt before, but it was different this time."

"He probably just wanted to wait until you had your back turned and then attack."

"But then why did he even walk up to me in the first place? Why didn't he just attack while I was vulnerable and couldn't see him?"

Harry didn't have an answer for that one. Usually Malfoy wouldn't have thought twice about attacking Hermione, but this time he didn't even try to.

"Harry, he even gave me an opening to hex him. He didn't even try to go for his wand when I got mine out. I don't think he even knew that I had taken my wand out! Does that sound like someone who was ready to attack?"

"Well, I guess we just hope he doesn't tell anyone that we are out here." That was the end of the conversation for Harry, he went back to his list of places to look for Horcruxes. But Hermione couldn't stop thinking about it. Malfoy hadn't tried to attack and an attack didn't seem to be on his mind. What is he up to?
