CHAPTER 7- A STORY OF THE PAST
LAST LINE: But Draco was standing at the bottom of the stairs. He looked hurt and angry.
NOW:
"I told you to be careful. You didn't listen to me. Hermione why didn't you listen?" Draco said darkly
" Whats the matter? You Knew I was going for a walk with him. If you didn't want me to then you should have said no. What
have I've done to hurt you? Nothing."
"You don't understand. You let him kiss you. He will never leave you alone. He will think you belong to him."
"Yeah and thats a bad thing?"
"I will try all I can to protect you from him, but I can't always be there. You have to understand, He is a powerful man,
much more than I, He can have anything he wants. Do anything he wants. And no one will be able to help." Draco stepped
closer to her. He placed his hands on her hips and pulled her closer. She thought he was going to kiss her. But he didn't,
he stared into her eyes deeply.
"I don't want anyone to hurt you. I wan't you to be safe. If you chose to be with him then, I will not do anything to
stop you. But I will always be there if you ask." He kissed her on her forhead and walked away.
Hermione trusted Draco with all her heart. She went to her room. She stayed there for a while, just thinking about what
Draco had just said. But she didn't know the candle had started to burn..
***
Constance walked into Dracos room.
"Master, Master Draco... Oh there you are. Are you allright Sir?"
Draco had his head in his hands on his desk.
"I'll be fine thank you."
"Is it about Miss Hermione. I am worried also my Lord."
"It's just that she is a wonderful person, I made a mistake along time ago, I called her mudblood and other horrid names,
Before I got to know her. Now I can't have her heart distroyed by someone who I introduced to her."
"May I ask you something as a friend?"
"You may ask me anything as a friend because you are a friend to me." Draco lifted his head to look at Constance.
"Thank you. Do you love her my Lord."
"I do not know what I feel at the moment, but I can honestly say, I love her more than anything that I have ever loved."
"Then you love her and Don't want her to get hurt. You must tell her soon." Constance bowed and left Draco alone.
***
Hermione was sitting by the inside pool. She was paddling her feet. Constance walked in. It was 10:00pm, Constance had
finished her work and Draco had dismissed her for the night.
"Miss, May I talk to you?"
"Sure," Hermione walked over towards her and sat in one of the chairs next to Constance, "Whats the matter?"
"Well I don't want you to think I'm poking my nose into your buisness, but I want you to understand that Draco is not being
selfish. He really cares for you. Now I have watched Louis and Draco grow up with each other but I have also watched a
girl grow up. I am going to tell you part of the story, you must listen to it carefully and then you will understand.
"OK, lets go into the lounge and sit by the fire." Hermione stood up.
Hermione and Constance walked into the lounge and sat in opposite chairs so they could see each other.
"Draco and Louis had grown up along with a girl named chole. She was always pretty. Anyway they all had there 12 birthday.
But Draco had a secret which he only told me about. He had feelings for chloe. Louis had a softer heart than Draco and
if he had feelings for a girl his father would be happy for him. Anyway Louis was a good friend to Draco so Draco decided
to explain how he felt to Louis. But Louis went behind Dracos back and told Lucius everything Draco had told him.
Lucius became cruel to Draco, this brought out hate. This hate Draco had, had taken over his feelings for chloe. He hadn't
seen Louis or chloe until his next birthday. His 13th birthday came and well so many things happened. Draco will explain
other parts of the story when he is ready but..OK...Lucius was not there for his 13th birthday so Draco was able to be
himself, he had a wonderful day until Louis joined in. Louis had never been told to hate anything, he had been to many
deatheaters meetings because his father trusted him. He was sly and could punish someone easily without the use of a wand,
just with his mind...
"Yeh, but Draco was always cruel when he was young its only been these last months he's been...well nice."Hermione butted
in.
"Draco has never been the kindest of people but thats because of his childhood. Anyway Draco and Chloe had so much fun by
the end of the night they became more than just friends they sat on the ground and kissed. Louis saw all this and his
hatred took over him, He steped out of the shadows and... Chloe died."
Hermiones eyes had gone soft, "She just died, just like that..."
"Draco told me the story and never went into details, like I said Draco will explain when he's ready.." Constance stood up
and put her hands on hermiones shoulders and looked hermione in the eyes, "...Please miss, please don't let him have your
heart, you deserve so much more than him.."
