CHAPTER 2. Reasons
Once Draco was settled in Hermione's room they both sat on her black silk covered king-sized bed reading books by muggle authors.
Hermione was crying. Draco noticed this
"Hermione, why are you crying?"
"It's this book. It's just so sad" she said showing him the book.
"Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume. It doesn't sound sad. What's it about Hermione?"
"You just called me Hermione. Ha. Any ways its about this girl, Davey, her father was murdered in a raid on their store. And now her life can never be the same so her mother, brother and herself move to New Mexico with her aunt."
"Where?"
"A place in America. And there she meets a boy named Wolf and gives her this Tiger Eye because her nickname is Tiger Eyes and then he runs away it's so sad."
"It doesn't sound sad."
"Boys" she muttered under her breath

3 days after Draco's arrival at the Grangers home, Hermione and her guest were sitting on the floor in Hermione's room playing with her glass, muggle, chess set, when Mrs Granger called from the kitchen,
"Kids! Dinners ready! Do you want it in your room"
"Yes!" Hermione answered for the both of them
"O.K." came the response
"So Hermione, why can't you sleep on the floor?"
"Promise not to tell anyone?"
"Yeah"
Hermione turned around and lifted her shirt to reveal about one hundred scars on her back.
"Hermione how did you get them?" Draco asked with concern
"Um. my uncle beats me. This was at the start of the holidays, when I got off the Train my uncle was there to pick me up. He took me to his place and well did this."
"Did he rape you?" Hermione turned back around as he said this
"No," tears started to fall "But he has before."
"Oh Hermione. I'm sorry"
"Why should you be? You didn't do it." Tears were streaming down her face now
"I don't know, but it's the only thing to say" he said wiping the tears away with his thumb
"So why cant you sleep on the floor"
Draco turned around and took off his black muscle shirt to reveal one very long bleeding cut. From the base of his neck to the small of his back.
"Basically the same reason."
"Draco it's bleeding" she said as she reached to trace it. She stopped at the sound of his voice
"I know, I can't stop it. Lucius did it. Second time this month. That's where I got the black eye"
"Oh Draco"
*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#
Hermione and Draco were in the bed. Lying normally staring at the TV.
"O.K. Hermione I still don't get this thing" Draco said trying to work the remote control.
"O.K. Draco it's called a TV it is a muggle invention and its there to entertain."
"Hermione I know that but how do you use it?"
"M'Kay. Give me the remote," she said sitting up
"The what.?"
"What you're holding"
"Oh, here" he said passing her the remote
"O.K. you press these little buttons to change the channel turn it on or off, and turn the volume up or down. O.K.?"
"Ok I think I get it now"
"Good now turn it off I wanna go to sleep"
"Ok I know how to turn it off" and with that he turned it off and the room was dark.
"Draco. " Hermione said rolling over
"Mmm-hmm"
"Promise not to tell anyone 'bout what my uncle Hugh did ok?"
"I've already promised that"
"Thank you"
