Chapter Two: Reason to give up.
Hermione was wondering the halls, she felt she needed to do this, she just didn't know why.
She soon found herself at the top of the astronomy tower.
Draco Malfoy was the only other person there, and he was leaning out the window and looking out at the forbidden forest almost longingly. He looked so serene and the wind blew strongly at his white locks. She felt the same breeze moving her chocolate hair.
She held her hair out of her face so she could still see him.
Harry was right when he had said that Malfoy had changed, She had noticed it in these last few weeks.
It had started out oddly enough, he often gave answers that meant very little. He was the only person in the school who even challenged his marks, and she was very positive that they had dropped greatly.
He then gazed off into lala land and never seemed to know where he was.
He then appeared to become a zombie.
To top it all off, he started slashing his housemates and sticking up for the people he used to insult.
Just the other day, Pansy had started beating Mione up, to dumb to use spells. Draco put her in a body bind and helped her off the floor.
"I give up. Why are you here, Granger." He sighed, breaking her out of her retrieve.
"I don't know." She answered truthfully. He snickered.
"I guess we can all say that."
She walked over to his side and looked out the window. "No, for you it's not the proper question."
He broke his gaze with the forest, "What would be the proper question then Granger?" she was amazed, he didn't even bite. Normally he would, but now he seemed to just be making conversation.
"Why aren't you here Malfoy?" she responded.
His eyes widened. "Not."
"Your not here, why?" she looked him in the eye. "And whoever you are, what in the hell did you do with Malfoy?" She glared at him.
Draco sighed and looked out the window again. "I haven't left Granger. Not yet."
"No, you are gone." She looked out the window. "I don't know who this person is who walks around in your skin, but he's sweet, nice, and gentle, he rights wrongs and he acts chivalrous. He never plans he isn't cunning, and he doesn't give a damn!"
"Granger, I'm Still Malfoy, I've just given up, and I don't see the point in trying any more."
She stared at him in shock. Then slapped him.
The slap could be heard though out the halls and everyone looked around for a second, stopping what ever it was they were doing to listen, they didn't hear any more and went back to whatever they were doing.
"Nothing, Draco Malfoy, I repeat NOTHING is worth giving up living." She growled at him.
"Why do you care?" he spat back.
"Because you're scaring me." She whispered. "What happened to you that night Draco? Every since then you haven't called me mud blood and it's driving me nuts."
"I went running in the forest and met someone."
"A girl."
"Female definetly, Girl, lady or hag, no clue." He sighed. "I just decided that I wanted to see her face."
"That makes no sense. If anything it should give you a reason to keep trying."
"No, it's the reason I gave up. I can only see her if I give up everything."
"Draco, don't."
"Why the hell not!" he slammed his fists of the stone, causing them to bleed a little.
"Because it seems like your using it as an excuse to hurt yourself, to almost punish yourself, your using it and an excuse, so it really doesn't seem like you truly want it." She summened badages and fixed his rist."
"I should be gone by now." He grumbled.
"Then why aren't you?"
"Dumbledore insisted I gave him a month before I left."
"Maybe it is for the best?"
"No, everyday I look out there and it gets worse, I feel it pulling on my soul."
"You're obsessing, over what, a curiosity."
"Oh it's more then a curiosity. Definitely more." And he grinned in almost a mad way.
Hermione left, mainly out of fear.
She needed to talk to Harry and Ron.

Short I know, but it gets the job done.
This will be my shortest fic, maybe six to eight chapters long, so I hope you are enjoying.
