A/N: Hey Hey! Firstly I apologise for the complete lack of update, but here is one! With more to follow!

Chapter 10

Fran sat on her bed, thinking. Thinking about her parents, their marriage, her whole life, it was all a scam. They were the perfect little family.

One father, rich, good ministry job, respectable, death eater and incredibly loyal to his master, loyal over his own family.

One Mother, pretty, loyal to her husband, unhappy and empty with no heart.

One daughter, intelligent, well mannered, attractive, popular and screaming to escape.

Escape her family, her life, her future, who she was becoming.

She was everything people thought they wanted to be but she would give up her whole life to be Hermione Granger for a day. She hated her, but everyone assumed the hatred stemmed from her friendship with Harry. No one would ever understand that her hatred stemmed from envy.

Fran lay down on her bed as she heard someone enter the dorm. She assumed it was Pansy, god she hated Pansy nearly as much as Granger. She closed her eyes in a vain attempt to convince Pansy she was asleep but they flew open as she felt someone sit on her bed and a soft voice say, 'Are you ok Fran?'

She sat up immediately recognising the voice and flung her arms around his neck. Instinctively Draco put his arms around her and said softly, 'Fran, don't listen to him, he was angry at you, he didn't mean it!'

Fran smiled, a sad smile, and said, 'But its true isn't it, I'm the daughter of a murderer, and I've been trying to convince myself that he isn't, that he just goes off to the ministry every day!' She sighed.

'I don't know what he had to do with the war I was only a baby. How many people did he kill? What else did he do? I don't know anything Draco!' Draco looked at her as she poured her heart out to him.

She added quietly, 'You know what makes it worse, he's a coward, he wouldn't admit that he had anything to do with Voldemort!'
