They met off and on for the next two weeks. Finally one night when they
were kicked out of the library for being too loud (a first for Hermione)
Draco asked...
"Hey Hermione wanna come up to my room. I mean to just talk not do anything, well unless you want to. But umm ohh never mind."
"Draco why are you so nervous, yeah I will come with you."
"OK, great. I got something that I want to tell you anyway. I know you have been dying to know how my leg got broken that night."
"I wouldnt say dying'" she smiled at him.
Of course I have been wondering why.
Its killing her.
They arrived at the Slythering common room entrance, a painting of a rather drunk looking man.
"Let me go in and see if anyone is still up. Then I will come and get you."
Draco walked in (fairy lights) and seconds later his head appeared.
"Come on its ok."
Hermione and him walked silently up to his room. When they walked in it was a room just like Hermione's (they got their own rooms because they were head girl and boy). Exept of course his was decorated in green and her's in deep red.
"My lady," Draco motioned to a green love seat.
"Why thank you kind sir," she said while taking his offer.
Draco sat down beside her and started to explain the whole story....
"Ok Hermione the reason I broke my leg is because Snape had me take something into Nocturn Alley. I had to take something that was illegal for him to sell, being a Hogwarts teacher, to a pawn shop. Dont get me wrong Snape has left the Dark Lord forever, but he still had a few items that he cant just throw in the trash plus they were very valuable and lets face it he is only a teacher. Every once in a while I will take different items down there. Well that particular night I was walking back and I got stopped by three, well I dont know exactly what they were. They were hooded and I could not see a thing, but they told me that I had to give them all of my money or they would kill me. I told them that I did not have any money and they just laughed. They told me that they saw me take something in and come out with a lump in my pocket. So they disarmed me and broke my leg and my wand and they took Snapes money. On my way back I stopped at Mr. Ollivanders and he fixed my wand for me (I had my father pay him afterwards) then I somehow got back up to the castle. Mr. Ollivander tried to help me but I told him that it wasn't that bad and that I could make it back to the castle. The reason that I didn't tell Dumbledor is that I was afraid that Snape would get in trouble. He is not doing anything wrong, he just wants to get rid of anything that reminds him of his old life. Of course he trusted his secret with his favorite student. I go ever so often, it just so happened that I got hurt that time. I told Snape and he said that he would put a charm on me next time. One that only lets the people that I want to see me, see me. I will be safer so you dont have to worry. Hermione are you ok you are being really quiet."
"Yes I am fine. I just thought you were going to say something like you were wandering around in the Forbiden Forest wrestling with werewolves or something like that. I would have never thought..... I am just glad that you are ok. So how much stuff does Snape have left?"
"Not that much. What do you mean by you would have never thought, you would have never thought what?"
"I would have never thought that a teacher would purposely endanger a student by sending them to Nocturn Alley on a school night none the less and by himself. I would have figured he would have had more sense than that."
Hermione looked up at him with conscern in her eyes. Malfoy just wrapped her up and held her for what seemed like an eternity. Then he whispered in her hair.....
" I would never do anything that would take me away from you. I could never hurt you like that."
Hermione just looked up at him and their lips locked automatically. Hermione laid on his chest and they fell asleep in each others arms.
