Ok for those of you who don't know (Fee) a 'cat o' nine tales' is an old weapon that looks like a whip only with 9 pieces of leather instead of just one, and sometimes the leather had steel on them. Ok good. Here we go.



Chapter 4. Horses

Hermione woke up the next morning to find a body of pale white skin. Right then she automatically thought of Hugh.

"No no" she said as she slipped out of the mans embrace

"Hermione" Draco had woken up "what are you doing?"

"Oh my god" Hermione jumped back onto bad and into his outstretched arms "Oh my god I thought you were Uncle Hugh. I thought he raped me again" tears again started steaming down her face

"Hey" Draco said as he tried to calm her down again in his warm embrace "Hey its Ok. He's not here. It's just Draco, just me. Shhhhhhhh its ok."

A week after Hermione's nightmare, Hermione, Draco and Jemima were all sitting down at the table for breakfast.

"So what are you two going to do on this fine Saturday?" Jemima asked

"I was thinking we could go out onto the paddock and see Fading Light, Evening Dream and Tender Heart."

"Who.?"Draco asked looking kind of worried

"My horses"

"Horsees" Hollie said as she came into the dining room in her pyjamas.

"Yeah, I'm gunna see my horses today."

"Oh" Draco said as Hermione and her little sister continued their conversation "damn"

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

After Draco and Hermione had breakfast they went out onto Hermione's paddock were her three horses came to greet her.

"This is Fading Light," she said petting the golden horse "Evening Dream is the black one and the white one is Tender Heart."

"They're beautiful"

"Thank you. Which do you wanna ride?" she asked as she hopped up on Fading light.

"Me ride? No. I cant "

"So there is something the great Draco Malfoy cant do"

"Oh, I can ride them just not well" Hermione began to laugh, "Fine I cant ride at all"

"Ok then. Hop up on Tender Heart, the white. She is the most gentile, unless you wanna hop up here with me?" Hermione asked with an innocent face.

"I think I'll take the second option," he said hopping up behind Hermione.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

After about an hour of riding Fading Light Hermione and Draco got off so they could have some lunch.

When they got to the back door Hermione stopped. Draco ran into her.

"Hermione what's wrong? Whose the man with the broad shoulders?" he asked with concern in his eyes.

"Hurry get back on Fading Light"

"Why?"

"Don't ask just get back on"

"OK" and with that Draco and Hermione got back on her horse.

"Hermione what's wrong" Draco asked again when they had stoped after about 10 minutes of riding.

"He's here"

"Whose here Hermione?" Draco asked, again concern filling his eyes

"Uncle Hugh"
