I've Been Living A Lie

~* Hello everyone, I just realised two important things: 1. I haven't written anything for this fic in a while, and 2. It's supposed to be a Draco/Hermione fic! Geez! What's wrong with me! I forgot all about the whole Draco being in love with Hermione thing! Tee hee! This is a very random chapter (dedicated to Auburn who seems to like my random chapters). *~

Chapter 8 ~ A Teeny Bit Of Draco

Draco Malfoy had been informed about recent events. Recent events including Hermione being a death eater, and turning Harry into one as well. He liked the new Hermione even more than the old one!

'Professor Snape, can I go see Hermione in Azkaban?' Draco asked in Potions. The Gryffindors, especially Harry, stared at him, shocked and confused. Let me remind you that only he, Harry, Ron and the teachers know that Hermione is in Azkaban. Who knows how Draco found out?

'Why?' Asked the Professor.

'Yeah, why?' Jeered the Gryffindors.

'Well, due to recent events of Veritiserum being inserted in my drink, I haven't been able to lie, and everyone found out in public display that I'm in love with Hermione Granger, so I figure I'll be able to make her good again.'

'What's he talking about Professor? Is Hermione in Azkaban? Is that why she's not been to classes?' Pansy Parkinson asked Snape.

'Don't listen to Malfoy, he's deranged.' Harry muttered across the classroom. A few people laughed.

'He must be deranged if he's in love with Granger!' Blaise Zabini yelled out for the whole class to hear. All the Slytherins burst out laughing, and some Gryffindors were trying to decide whether or not this comment was funny, and whether it payed out more on Hermione or Malfoy. A few of them managed a small giggle.

'I am not deranged! And you all know that I can't lie. . . so you should believe me when I say that Hermione Granger is in Azkaban because she's -'

'ER HERM.' Harry coughed loudly. 'That is quite enough of your nonsense rambling Malfoy.'

'Yeah, now is a very good time for you to shut up.' Ron added. Lavender nudged Ron.

'Is Hermione really in Azkaban?' She asked. Ron remained silent and tried to concentrate on his Potions work. Lavender nudged Ron again.

'What?' He asked, staring needles into Lavender.

'Is Hermione in Azkaban?' Lavender asked bravely.

'I'm not going to dignify that with an answer.' Ron replied.

~***~

'So it's settled, you can go talk to Hermione.' Professor McGonagall was saying to Draco Malfoy. 'You may have a chance to bring her back to the light side.'

'Does this mean I get to try before Harry does?' Malfoy asked hopefully.

'Indeed it does Mr Malfoy, however, if you fail, Harry will no doubt be able to break her.' McGonagall replied. Draco smiled.

'Ha ha, I get first go at her.' He taunted.

'Mister Malfoy, this is serious business you're dealing with, Hermione Granger is a Death Eater, and she must not be taken lightly.' The Professor said sternly.

'Yes Professor, I understand,' Malfoy said slowly.

'Alright then, you may head to Azkaban. You must use the fireplace in the Entrance Hall to travel to the Azkaban Lobby. A witch there will escourt you to the cell in which contains Hermione.' McGonagall explained.

~* Yes, there will be more chapters! I'm terribly sorry for the delay on this one, but the next one will definitely be up much sooner than this one was! In the next chapter, Draco visits Hermione. You'll have to wait to find out what happens there! *~
