Chapter 11: Visitor

-----

Hermione, Harry and Draco whipped around to see Lucius Malfoy.

"Draco, what are you doing with a mudblood and the boy who lived? Not to mention Muggles."

Draco glared at his father.

"Follow me, Draco."

Draco reluctantly followed his father out of Dumbledores office.

"Draco Malfoy, I cannot believe you would associate yourself with a dirty mudblood, the boy who brought our master down, and the MUGGLES. MUGGLES, Draco, Muggles. Our sworn Enemy besides Potter."

"FATHER" Draco shouted, "they are people, as are you and I. We all have rights, and I have learned that even more than before these past few weeks. I don't care if I am 15 years old."

"Draco Malfoy--"

"NO! Stop it father. I do not care what you do anymore, if I have friends, it doesn't matter. Those people in there are my friends, no matter what you say!" Draco turned and walked away towards the common room.

"Draco, do not walk away from me."

"Father, you taught me how" Draco hissed and continued on his way.

------

"Aunt Mary, are you ok? You do look awfully pale."

"Oh, I'm fine petunia, just a little nervous, and tired."

"Well," Dumbledore said, "You are welcome to stay here for as long as you wish"

"Oh no" Uncle Ben began. Dumbledore held up a hand to silence him.

"I insist. Miss Granger, would you please show your aunt and Uncle to the guest tower."

"Yes, sir" Hermione answered. "Come on." Hermione gestured towards her Aunt and uncle. They got up and followed hwer out of the office.

"Sir," Harry started, "What about the potion, will it be ready soon?"

"Within the next 3 weeks Mr. Potter. I suggest you and Nicolette go to bed. Tomorrow should be a long day."

"Yes sir" Harry and Nicolette said in unison, turned and left the office, leaving the aged man to his thoughts.

-------

"Harry, are you listening to me?" Hermione asked her friend.

"What...yes I am."

"What did I just say?"

"Ummmm..."

"Thats what I thought. I am going to bed. Good night, Harry." Hermione turned and headed for her room. She opened her door and Draco was sitting there.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione gasped in shock. "You scared me half to death"

"Sorry. I just wanted to ask you something."

"Ok. What is it?" Hermione walked over to the sofa to sit next to him.

He looked down for a few moments and muttered something that she couldn't comprehend She just kind oflooked at him and asked him to repeat himself, buta little louder.

"I wanted to know if you forgive me for everything"

"What are you talking about?" He had gotten her confused.

"For everything. All that teasing, and bothering you and your friends. Tonight whenI was with my father, I realized that I've been a total asshole, and now I don't blame you for tottally hating me."

"Draco, I've never truly hated anybody. Everybody has one good thing about them. Yours was just buried so that no one could find it."

"How true you are."

Hermione looked into the silver eyes, that had once shown no emotion, and now held the most emotion in the world.

"Hermione..." Darco said in a very low voice.

"Yeah?"

"I think I love you."

Hermione just gaped at him for a moment, until he leaned down and kissed her. She was shocked at first, but it didn't take her long to fall into the kiss.

----

Hermione woke up the next morning to the voice of Harry.

"What the hell is this?"

"What?" A voice behind her said. Hermione whipped around and saw Draco there. He smiled at her. "Good Morning"

"Morning," she smiled back. She turned towards Harry. "We were just talking, we must have fallen asleep thats all."

"Mmhmm. Well, Hermione. You have a visitor...and he don't look to friendly."

"I'll be down in a moment."

Harry turned and left the room. Hermione turne back to Draco and smiled. "Good morning"

"Hi."

Suddenly, Hermione's door open and there stoodthe outlineof one of the worst men alive.
