Chapter Twelve : A Letter to Daddy

The rest of lunch went by and they had a splendid time. They talked about numerous things. Hermione had now finally realized that Draco did change. Or maybe he didn't. Maybe this has always been Draco Malfoy but it just didn't come out till now. Who knows? All she knew was that she likes him.

Hermione then went to her afternoon classes and during Potions passed Ron a note.

Ron,

I can't stand you being angry with me. Please meet me in the common room before dinner. Please, couldn't you just agree to disagree with Draco? Not even that, couldn't you just be happy for me and not be angry with me.

Please show up, I miss you!

Love,
Hermione

Ron took the note and stuffed it in his pocket. As the class came to an end Hermione saw Ron reading the note as he left class. He didn't seem angry or upset. Hermione went up to the common room and waited for Ron. Finally after 15 minutes of waiting the common room door opened. Ron came in, followed by, DRACO?

"Draco what are you doing here?" asked Hermione in a surprised voice. Before he had the chance to answer Ron spoke.

"I brought him here. I want to see if he really cares for you. If he does then fine, I'll agree to disagree. But I'm only doing this for you Herm." said Ron. She couldn't believe him! He was the greatest. She was so proud of Ron.

"Thank you so much Ron!" said Hermione as she hugged her best friend.

"So, Weas-- Ron how are you going to have me show that I do truly care for Hermione?" asked Draco as he put his arm around Hermione's waist.

"Well, I was thinking you write a little letter to your father,0" said Ron as Draco froze. "Inform him about your new found love, shall we say?"

"That's not the smartest thing for me to do, who knows how father would react." said Draco in a desperate way trying to get out of it.

"But if you truly care about Hermione you wouldn't let your father get in the way, or would you," Ron said while looking back and forth at Hermione and Draco.

"You don't know what my father's capable of," began Draco but then he looked over at a disappointed brown headed girl. "Fine I'll write the letter, but only to show how much I care for her." said Draco. He knew that he was risking the safety of not only himself but of Hermione, the last person who he wanted to get hurt.

He grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill out of his bag. His stomach churned. He knew how his father would react, and he wasn't looking forward to it either. He was harsh, cruel, and cold, and Draco knew it. If he found out that his son, his own pureblood wealthy high status son was in love with a mudblood, he would go absolutely insane. Draco dipped the quill in the ink and began to write:

Father,

I can not hide this any more. I have deep feelings for Hermione Granger. I do hope you understand, because this will never change no matter what. Please do not be mad at me.

Your Son,
Draco Malfoy

He handed the letter to Ron, looking away as Ron read it.

"Well then, its good enough for me," Ron said stuffing the letter in his pocket. "I'll take it to the owlery right away," he paused for a moment looking at Draco unable to believe that this was actually happening, "I guess you really do love her," he said.

Draco nodded and slowly walked away, dreading how his father would react. He knew what his father was capable of. He's seen his father kill a man for no reason at all, and he was a pureblood. Who knows what he would do to Hermione.
