A/N: Thanks for all who reviewed!
Chapter 04
Harry went down to the common room to find Ron waiting for him so that they can proceed to the Great Hall and meet Hermione. When they arrived there, Hermione wasn't there. So they just guess she slept in because it was a weekend. But when she didn't turn up 20 minutes after breakfast Ron got worried.
"Where do you think she is?" he said
"She just slept in, stop being a worry wart already" Harry replied
"Yeah, but look over there" nodding his head at the Slytherin table "Malfoy's not there either, what if somethings happen?"
"I hope not" Harry replied.
After breakfast, they decided that they will ask Dumboldore if he knows where Hermione is and if she was just in a meeting or anywhere last night. As they approached Dumboldore, they noticed that the usually bright and twinkling was kind of, dim.
Frowning, Harry approached the professor and asked, "Um, professor, is something the matter?" bringing the headmaster out of reverie.
"Oh Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, I didn't see you there, oh yes everything is quite fine, but…" he trailed off.
"What is it?" Ron asked
"Oh, nothing really, so is there something you wanted?" Albus said smiling at them.
"Yeah, were just going to ask if there was any meeting last night, because I think Hermione slept in" Harry said grinning.
"Ms Granger is at the hospital-" but was cut off by Ron who shot out of the Great Hall before any body can say Firebolt.
"What do you mean hospital wing? Is she hurt? What happen?" Harry said panicking
"Mr. Potter, I assure you Ms. Granger is perfectly healthy, she is just there accompanying Mr. Malfoy"
"Malfoy?" Harry asked, shocked
"Yes, and please understand and I think Ms. Granger will give you the details if Mr. Malfoy agrees" the headmaster said
"Er, sure"
"Now go on and catch up to Mr. Weasley before he causes chaos"
"Damn! Thanks professor!" Harry said before taking off to the hospital wing.

Ron immediately took off as soon as he heard Hermione being in the hospital wing. What is she's hurt? Or sick? iWhy am I worrying about this?/i Ron asked himself. iBecause you like her, you git!/i Its true that Ron fancied Hermione since 4th year. He was completely jealous when she decided to go with Viktor Krum at the Yule Ball.
He hurried off as soon as he caught sight of the mahogany doors.

i"Draco!" bellowed Lucuis
"Yes Father?" Draco asked
"Tell me, did you lose the Quidditch match to The-Boy-Who-Lived again" Lucuis shouted at his son
"Y-yes f-f-father" stuttered Draco
"You disgrace!" pulling out is wand and waving it, sending his son flying to the wall, hitting it hard
"I'm s-s-sorry…" Draco murmured
But Lucuis didn't hear it, with another waved of his wand; a whip appeared on his left hand and used it on his son with a sneer on his face. Draco tried to protect himself the best way he can but he ended up lying on his stomach while his father whip his back.
Trying to ignore the pain and not give his father the satisfaction, he stifled a scream. But more pain and suffering came and it was to intense and with that…
He screamed/i
***
Hermione jerked up awake when a screamed pierced her ears. She gasped when she saw Draco Malfoy, The Prince of Slytherin, pale as a sheet and trashing on the bed, his face drenched with sweat and his face screwed up with pain.
She shook him hard to wake him up, to end his nightmare. Draco's eyes suddenly flew open and backed away from Hermione, his eyes wide. Hermione didn't know what to say, Draco Malfoy looked so different, infront of her she seeing a young man with fear and anguish in his eyes, not the ones that she sees when she sees Malfoy, his eyes are usually filled with cruelty and malice.
"Shhh, Draco its alright, its over" Hermione said softly
Draco jerked his head looking at her, as if looking in her soul. Then to Hermione's surprise, tears were glistening his eyes.
"H-h-hermione" he said, his voice cracking
"Lucuis, won't hurt you anymore" she said
"H-h-how did you know?" he asked, shocked
"We saw the scars Draco, and he shall pay only me, the headmaster, Professor McGonagall and Snape knows" Hermione said
"Please, don't tell anyone, I don't want anyone to know, he will kill me" Draco said pleading.
"Don't worry Draco, I won't" Hermione said
"Promise?"
"Promise" Hermione said opening her arms and Draco went in them burying his face on her neck, sobbing.
Hermione muttered comforting words to Draco while she rubbed his back for comfort. Suddenly, the hospital doors opened and it revealed a very shock and angry Ron.
