Disclaimer: I can't believe I have to write this every time, oh well! I OWN NOTHING! There!

AN: ok, ummmm I noe the last 2 chapters were confusing, but here is where most of it will be explained! I think anyways, I'm sry about the shortness of the chapters, but I can't write for too long, my fingers get tired! ( - _ - ")

Chapter 4: Explanations

Hermione was beginning to worry, about both Ron AND Draco. She had gone back to her bedroom as soon as Ron left. She then said one or two healing spells which she used on Draco. Some of the scratches were healed instantly, and his blood stoped flowing, but there was one thing she couldn't fix.

She could not heal the wound that was on his left arm, his skin looked like it had been engraved in, and there was only one corner of what looked to be a symbol.

Being the smart person that she was, she thought quickly, and once she saw that symbol, she knew what it was; it was the 'dark mark'! (AN: hehehe, wat did u all think was gonna happen?)

"Oh my god, wat were they doing to you Draco???" she whispered, "Where is Ron?! He should be here by now!!!" She was now getting very worried about him.

-------------------O--o--O-----------------

Ron on the other hand, was trying hard to get a good amount of air into his lungs. Some had used the full body binding charm on him, and had put a silencing charm on him as well, so he couldn't scream.

Ron was in a small room, a room that could only fit 5 people maximum. IN the far corner he can see a figure, blond hair shimmering by the light of his wand.

"WHAT!? This can't be right? Wasn't Malfoy bleeding to his death before?" Ron thought to himself, he was beginning to feel extremely confused by the second.

The figure who looks like Malfoy began to walk in Ron's direction. As he was walking up to Ron, his figure began to change, his light blond hair is turning into a light brown colour, his height change, he was getting taller in a matter of seconds, his grey eyes turned to a dark brown.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!! KRUM?!?!!?" Ron screamed. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, in the Daily Profit, they stated that Victor Krum, famous Quidditch player was dead!

"Yea that's me, look don't look so surprise." Krum answered, in a low husky voice.

-------------O--o--O------------------

Hermione was still waiting for Ron on the cold bathroom floor, next to Malfoy.

Draco was beginning to gain his consciousness. His eyes were heavy, and his sight was sort of blurred. The first thing that he saw when his eyes focused were beautiful amber eyes staring at him, he then realised who it was and tried to spoke, but she did first.

"Oh Draco! You're okay." Hermione said, she was still upset, but she wasn't sure why, "Draco I thought - I thought - well I thought that you were.gone!" at this tears began to reform in her eyes.

Draco was motionless on the bathroom floor, Hermione, one of his "worst" enemies, was crying over him, well a lot of girls cry over him but that was because he dumped them, or something along those lines, he didn't expect anyone to actually be crying over him because of the fact that he was about to die. As he was thinking of this, a smirk began to form on his pale face.

"What - what's so funny?" Hermione asked him, she was quite confused.

Draco realising this was the dirty mudblood got up all of a sudden. He was heading for the door, when the door closed in his face, Hermione stepped in front of the door, to block his way, he wanted an explanation, Draco could see it in her eyes, he could push her away but he was to tired to do so.

"Oh shit!" he shouted, "Why the fuck are YOU in here for you mudblood?!" his face was beginning to scowl.

Hermione was surprised by this act, because well c'mon she just saved his life here!

"Oh nothing Malfoy! I just came in here and saved your life that's all! Nothing important!" She said, trying to hide the hurt that was left inside of her.

"What? Hang on, you saved MY life?!" He was sounding very cool at a time like this, "Why on earth would I need savi-" Then he saw the pool of blood that was all over the cold floor, and for the first time in his life, he was speechless.

"What did happen in here?" he asked Hermione with awkwardness.

"Do you really want to know or are you just playing around?!" She answered with a question.

"Look I'm serious, what happened?!"

"Well fine. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to have a read, when I saw the Slytherin door slightly opened,"

"Wait, the Slytherin door was open?" Draco interrupted.

"That's what I said didn't I? Or weren't you listening?" Hermione didn't wait for an answer and continued, "As I was saying, I saw the open door and was about to get in, but then I heard a sound coming form the boy's bathroom, well I knocked on the door, and you answered, then few seconds later I heard this loud scream, and that's when I went inside and found you bleeding, there was blood everywhere! It was horrible Draco, you could've died." Her voice trailed of as she said this.

Draco was once again stunned by what he was hearing, he almost died. He didn't remember answering to Hermione. What happened before he screamed was still in his mind, he wanted to tell Hermione but wasn't sure if he should. He could tell she was worried about him. Oh and when have they started using their first names?

"Look, Hermione, listen to me. I cannot believe I am telling you this! Alright, well you out of all people should know that my father is a death eater right?" he questioned her and she nodded, "Well he wanted me to become a death eater as well, but I refused, so he sent one of his many death eater friends to come and get me, and take me to the Forbidden Forest, where the ceremony will take place, I was in the bathroom about to have a VERY late shower, when I heard the window crass. I peeked outside, and there was Krum, Victor Krum standing right outside the door, he pushed me to the ground and tried to get at least half of the dark mark on my skin, so therefore I would have to go to the ceremony no matter what, but I hexed him, and the spell rebounded and hit me."

Hermione was very surprised by the sudden wave of trust, but then again, she thought to soon, as soon as she was about to question him, his voice was at it's usual venomous self, "The only reason I'm telling you this is because apparently you saved my life!" he spat.

"Look, it couldn't have been Krum, he's DEAD Draco, dead!"

"Well apparently not! He's half dead, so you're partly right." he explained, "hmm like usual! Listen Granger, you'll be dead before you know it if my father found out about this, or if anyone else found ou-"

His sentence was cut short by a terrified squeal from Hermione, "Oh no! Ron! Malfoy, Ron came in here when he heard you scream, he left about 15 minutes ago! He should be here by now! Malfoy what should we do?" a terrified Hermione was leaving the bathroom, but stoped immediately when she saw a half beaten up Ron sprawled on the common room floor.
