(A/N) Ok, so the spacing problem is more or less fixed, but now hoe do I get my italics to show up? I've seen it done in other fics.

(A/N-The words in italics will be in brackets for now, just until my italics start to work.)

"You two don't have to worry about what he says, you are safe from anything that he would try to do to you while you are at Hogwarts, and I will try my best to protect you while you are away when the holidays roll around," said Dumbledore. None the less, Draco still held on to Hermione tightly. As the walked away from Dumbledore, they decided to go strait back to there room, and not go to their next class. They knew Dumbledore would understand, and that they could catch-up tomorrow. Hermione didn't even put up one of her "We really should go to class" fights either. She new the Draco was upset and that he needed her to be there for him.

"It will be alright you know, Dumbledore will protect us as best as he can," said Hermione.

"I know, but I can't bear to think of all of the things that he could do to you, and yet I can tear my mind away from the ideas. It hasn't been easy to live with Lucius for my whole life. If I wasn't everything he wanted me to be I would be punished."

"Is that why you put up all of the walls around yourself? To protect yourself?"

"I guess so; I've been building them up since I was little though. Every time I showed any emotion, he would hurt me and my mother," at this, the tears began to flow freely down his cheeks.

{A/N-cue lights and music. *LOL* just kidding. But seriously, if you don't already know, this song belongs to Mandy Moore, and is not in any way mine.}

(I'll always remember, it was late afternoon, it lasted forever and ended too soon, you were all by yourself staring up at a dark gray sky. I was changed.)

Hermione held Draco to her. Nothing else, just a warm and affectionate hug.

(In places no one would find all your feelings so deep in side. It was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes. The moment I saw you cry.)

"This position feels so good inside," said Draco through his tears.

"Haven't you ever been hugged or held before?" asked Hermione.

"No," replied Draco.

(It was late in September, and I'd seen you before. You were always the cold one, but I was never that sure. You were all by my self staring up at a dark gray sky, I was changed.)

"It's not that my m mother doesn't l love me, it's just that any sign of emotion in m my family is punishable by my father."

(In places no one would find all your feelings so deep in side. It was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes. The moment I saw you cry.)

"The things, the beatings, all of the pain he caused my mother and I. I learned not to cry, not to do anything to upset him. A and now he wants me to be a death-eater just like him, and I'm scared Mione. I don't wasn't to serve You-Know-Who, I w want to fight for the side of good," said Draco through his tears.

"You have to go to Dumbledore Draco, he can help you," Hermione said while stroking Draco's hair.

"He'll never want to help me, not after all of the bad things I've done and said around this school, He probably will hand me over to Lucius, and then I'll be forced" to truly become a mini him."

"Then you really don't know Dumbledore Draco, he will help you I know it."

(I wanted to hold you; I wanted to make it go away. I wanted to know you; I wanted to make you everything, all right.)

Inside Hermione's heart was breaking. How could anyone have been so cruel to her precious angel? And how could she have possibly hated him so much for the last six years? She was glad to be the first girl to bring true love to his dark and lonely life. She just wished it hadn't taken them six years to discover each others person hidden deep inside.

(I'll always remember. It was late afternoon.In places no one would find.)

They stayed like that for the next few hours, Draco pouring his heart out, and Hermione comforting him. All those years of holding back the tears had finally come to an end. And to Draco, it felt like a warm blanket of relief to not have to hide is true self from at lest one person in the world any more. (A/N- did that make any sense? If I didn't then I think that you know what I was trying to say)

(In places no one would find all your feelings so deep in side. It was then that I realized that forever was in your eyes. The moment I saw you cry.)
