Chapter 14:

Draco shut the door behind them as they entered her room. Hermione paced back and forth muttering uncontrollably to herself. She threw up her hands at one point and began to pull on her hair. Draco didn't have a clue as to what had her so upset. He needed to comfort her and no matter what it was she wanted, he'd do it. 'It's not like it has anything to do with the wizarding world all the fuckin way out here.'

"So, are you going to talk to me or would you like to pull out your hair some more?" He joked, hopping to lighten up the foul mood she was in. She let out a loud snort and turned on her heels. She seemed to be getting ready to charge like a mad bull, but instead she began to cry.

"Oh it's just terrible Draco. All this time it was happing and no one knew. What if he's hurt or scared or worse, I have to help him Draco. I have to go to her and get the stone and then I have to go save him!" Draco stared at her in utter confusion. She had been talking but nothing she had said made a bit of sense.

"Ok love let's take a deep breath. Calm down and take it from the top. One thing at a time, ok?" Hermione was so upset she didn't even realize he had called her love. Taking thirty deep breaths and claming herself down she took a seat on the bed and started from the top with two little words.

"Harry Potter." Draco stared at her in disbelief. 'What the fuck could that mother fucker have to do with this?' All at once he became very unhappy and very uncomfortable.

"Go on." He stated in a shaky voice. Hermione told him about her dream, what Glitter had said it meant, and what she was going to have to do to save Harry. Draco the whole time looked very unimpressed with her. Every time she said Harry's name he would back farther away from her. When she had finely stopped talking, she looked at Draco with big brown eyes.

"What did you mean in your dream when you said you knew what he did to me? Or even how do you know what he did to me? Hell, how do you know what day he committed his unspeakable crime?" His voice was harsh and filled with hate. He was so angry with everything at that moment that if looks could kill, no one would be left alive.

She looked to the floor as she spoke in a soft and somewhat frightened voice.

"Elwood gave me a position to help me understand you better. I saw you and Harry fighting on the Quiddittch pitch. I recognized the fight you two where having. It was the most fearsome one you two ever had. The only thing was, this time I heard what you two were saying to one another. I heard him say he raped you Draco." Draco gave out a loud growl at her final words.

"DON'T SAY THAT! DON'T YOU EVER FUCKING SAY THAT! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! YOU GOT ME HERMIONE! DON'T EVEN THINK IT!"

"I am sorry I...I didn't mean to upset you. I won't say that, but it still won't change the fact it happened. Draco please let....." She was cut off.

"YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT! GODS HERMIONE I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COUNT THE NIGHTS IT'S HAUNTED ME AND NOW YOU THINK JUST BECAUSE WE'RE FRIENDS YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO SNOOPING AROUND IN MY PAST! WHAT ELSE DID YOU SEE?" He was bright red in the face and there was some spit forming at the corner of his mouth and his eye's looked as if they were going to pop right out of his head. Pissed off was an understatement for what he was.

"I didn't see anything else Draco, I swear. Please calm down your beginning to scare me. I just wanted to help you and now, I need to help Harry. Please don't hate me for this, please." When she looked up all she saw was the door slamming hard behind him.

He wasn't going to help her. He was too pissed off at her for snooping around in his past. She felt hot tears spring to her eyes. He must hate her more then ever. He had trusted her and she just went ahead and looked into his mind without his permission. She was such an idiot. The door flew open at that moment and he stood before her. He didn't look as mad but he didn't look too happy either.

"It means a lot to you to save Potter. It means the world to you doesn't it?" He asked in an angry, but gentle way.

"Yes, Harry is my best friend and I would die for him Draco. I would do anything for him. I was going to leave sooner or later anyway. I guess it's just going to be a lot sooner then later."

"And there is nothing in the world I could tell you or even ask you that would change your mined?" he asked hopefully.

"No. Harry means more to me then anyone else." Hermione looked at Draco as he slumped against the door frame. He looked very sad and there was no trace of anger in his face anymore, just sadness.

"You are my best friend Hermione and just like you would do anything for Potter, I will do anything for you. I just hope going back in time won't ruin our new friendship because I am about to throw everything good in my life out the window just to help you." With that said Hermione jumped to her feet and ran over to him. She didn't hear his sadness, only the words that he would help her.

"Oh Draco if you weren't such a git, I'd kiss you," she joked as she jumped in to his arms hugging him tightly.

"You could kiss me because you love me," he said half joking, half hoping.

"Love you?" She looked up into his gray eyes and found something she had never seen in anyone else.

"HEY!! IF YOUR GOING TO EAT NOW IS THE TIME!!" Mark yelled from the top of the steps. Draco let her go and headed for the dinning hall. He called back:

"Last one there is a ferret!" Hermione was going to be it for she just stood there staring at his retreating back. 'He loves me?'
