Draco had seen Hermione rush out of the Room of Requirement and followed her up until she ran into the Gryffindor common room. He knew where she was most likely going, so he took the alternate route to get to their secret place on the roof. Once he got there, he opened the door quietly, not wanting to frighten her. He saw her with the knife in her hand, sobbing as she cut more than she ever had before. He watched for a few more seconds until she finally put down the knife and Draco could find relief in the fact that she most likely wouldn't hurt herself anymore tonight.

He closed the door, thinking maybe he should be there comforting her, but he knew there was something bigger he must do. She was officially out of control and he couldn't help her alone. He needed to get help from the two closest people in her life. Harry and Ron.

Draco walked down the stairs and through the corridor, very aware that he was in the girl's dormitory corridor. He walked down another flight of stairs and stepped into the cozy looking Gryffindor common room, delighted to find the exact two people he was hoping to run into.

"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" Harry stood up right in front of him. "You're not supposed even be able to get into the Gryffindor common room, much less enter through the girl's dormitories." Draco noticed that Ron had his wand out and Harry had his hand in the pocket that undoubtedly held his wand.

"I came to inform you of something, something I need your help with" Draco didn't touch his wand, not wanting to seem like a threat to them.

"You need our help with something?" The look on Ron's face showed nothing but disbelief.

"It's about Hermione" Draco pleaded, hoping they would just hear him out.

Harry stiffened, sensing that something was wrong and Ron lowered his wand. Both of them sat in one of the extremely comfortable looking chairs by the fire. Draco followed suit and gazed around the empty common room. He then looked at the two guys and proceeded to tell them everything from the very first night he discovered Hermione after being abused up until tonight and everything he witnessed on the roof.

"Well, we're going to help her" Harry stated simply.

"Of course, but how" Ron looked like he was thinking hard.

"We're going to start by confronting her. If we can get her to realize that she's not at fault, but admit that she needs help, that's a start" Harry looked determined.

The three of them continued to talk for another half hour until Draco finally decided it was time to leave before anyone came down. Harry and Ron stayed in the common room, waiting for Hermione to come down so things could begin to get better.
