Summery: Can Draco solve his relationship with Hermione as well as murders… AT HOGWARTS? R/R! Criticism wanted. NO flamers though! (PG13- later violence and cursing).

When Draco arrived back at Hogwarts he met one of his friends, Goyle, in the hall. "Draco, I've been looking all over for you." Goyle grunted. "I need help with my homework."
Draco glared at him and as he walked by muttered something about being too stupid to do your own homework.
He made it to Slytherin Common Room and entered. He took a seat in an unoccupied chair in a shadowed corner.
Before he even got a chance to choose what to think about, his hawk- owl swooped in and dropped a letter on his lap. Draco opened it. It was from his father. It read
'Dear Draco,
I got a letter from a girl named Candi Riddle' ("Damn her!" Draco thought.) 'Saying that you and that mudblood may be breaking up. You'd better, because if you don't I won't hesitate to kill her and you! Damn you, Draco! You destroyed the family name. Malfoy used to be a respected surname of high expectations. You should be ashamed of yourself for-'
Draco crumpled the letter with one hand in rage, not bothering to read the rest. He jumped out of his chair, the letter still clutched in his sweaty palm, and hurried out of the common room. Only two people glanced up at him as he stormed out. They were used to him being in a bad mood, and he always seemed to be in one. Draco hurried out of the castle and onto the grounds. It looked as though it were going to rain. Draco didn't know exactly why he assumed Candi was there. He headed towards a group of fifth year girls, one of which, was Candi.
"I need to talk to you." Draco hissed as he pulled her away from the other girls, who snickered.
"Yes?" Candi asked innocently.
"Why did you write to my damn father?" Draco demanded.
A wide smile appeared on Candi's face. "Well, I thought he deserved to know-"
"It's none out your damn business what he deserves!" Draco exclaimed.
"Why not?" Candi hissed. "I only did it for the sake of the Slytherin reputation-"
"Reputation my ass! What does my father have to do with the 'Slytherin reputation'?"
"I advised him and his wife in my letter to beat some sense into you, but I guess your skull is too thick for anything to go in." Candi snapped.
"At least I have parents to beat sense into me." Draco said smugly and quietly.
Candi's face went white and raised her hand to slap him, but Draco caught her wrist as her hand came an inch close to his face. Draco shoved her against a tree and moved in closer so his face was only inches away from Candi's.
"You'd better keep your mouth shut." Draco whispered. "Or I'll make sure you can't stick your nose into other people's businesses, permanently!"
Draco walked back up to the castle leaving Candi against the tree. Her friends circled around her, questioning.
As Draco was walking to his common room, he bumped into Hermione. They both stood there and looked at each other.
"Are we or aren't we?" Draco asked.
"Are we or aren't we what?" Hermione asked confused.
"Together."
Hermione hesitated. "Do you want to still be a death eater?"
"Right now... no." Draco muttered.
"Well then, we can still be together..." Hermione said slowly.
"Thanks." Draco said and her kissed Hermione on the cheek. He walked the rest of the way to his common room, went to his dorm, laid on his bed and almost instantly went to sleep.
