Chapter 9: The Hatred
Harry rose to his feet and looked at Hermione as though she lost her mind. "Hermione, you know that we are your friends but are you expecting us to suddenly be friends with someone we hated practically our whole lives?" Hermione massaged her temples in frustration. This isn't going well, what am I going to do.
"'Mione? I want to know something. If you don't mind." Ron asked calmly.
"What?" Hermione asked. Ron looked behind her and stared at Draco then turned his gaze at Hermione.
"Do you love him?" Ron asked. Hermione can see in his eyes that he didn't want her to say yes.
"Yes, Ron, I do." Hermione said without hesitation. Harry through his hands in the air and sat back down.
"Great, just bloody great!" Harry exclaimed. Ron just sat there watching Harry silently. "Malfoy?" Harry said glaring at him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draco was surprised that Harry called him into this. The whole time he watched the scene unfold and could see Hermione was having a tough time talking through to them. He knew better then to bud in and he just sat back watching Hermione frustrated and agitated.
"What?" Draco said calmly. Not once looking at Harry but he knew Harry was glaring at him.
"Do you love Hermione?" Harry asked. His tone had soften and Draco could tell that he didn't want his friend hurt. Hermione swung around watching Draco carefully. I never plan to hurt her.
"I love her with all my heart, Potter." Draco said smiling at Hermione. Harry's jaw dropped staring at him with disbelief. Ron never looked at him but he was also in shock by the way he stared at the ground.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He loves you! He loves you! Hermione's mind started racing in her head. She turned around to see the shocked expressions on her their faces and she couldn't help but smile.
"Well now that is cleared up, can you explain to us why he's hiding from Voldemort?" Ron asked resentfully. Obviously, he wasn't happy with it at all but she could care less. Hermione gazed at Draco waiting for him to answer the question.
"Basically I didn't want to become a death eater. The day I left Hogwarts my father forced me to see his Lord and the ceremony began. As the dumb ass started scraping the mark into my skin I had only one chance, to apparate and run for it." Draco said smoothly as though no of it was bothering him.
Harry snapped his head at Draco. "He's after you! He's close!" Harry's eyes were wide open in terror. "He's going to kill you!" Hermione gasped in shock and shook her head. No, he can't kill him!
"How do you know that?" Draco said. He got up and stared at Harry.
"You see this bloody mark!" Harry pointed to his head. "Well obviously that's how I know." Then he looked at Hermione. "That's the reason why we came earlier, Hermione. To tell you."
"But me and Harry never knew it was him." Ron added angrily looking at Draco. Hermione shook her head in disbelief.
"What..what are you going to do?" Hermione stared at Draco. Hermione bit her lip holding back the tears that were about to escape.
"I don't know yet." Draco said.
"Bloody great. Your ass is in trouble and you get our best friend involved." Ron shouted. Draco glared at him before turning his direction to Harry.
"What else do you know?" Harry looked at him confused.
"Nothing else. Why?"
"I need to know how close he is." Draco hissed. Hermione took his hand, she didn't want him to get angry or frustrated at a time like this.
"Listen Harry, Ron can you leave us alone? It's been along day." Hermione asked. Harry and Ron nodded before Harry pulled her over.
"If he does anything or so much as lay a hand on you, tell us." Harry whispered into her ear. Hermione nodded and the two apparated.
-------------------------
Draco left the comfort of Hermione when he heard a tapping on her window. He looked through the blinds he noticed an owl was waiting. 2 in the morning, god! Draco opened the window slide and the owl flew in throwing a parchment at him. He glanced at the weird black tape across the parchment. He knew it was for him and decided to read it.
Draco Malfoy,
How long did you think you can hide from your father? Do you honestly believe that I'm going to give up that easily. You humiliated me! Oh by the way as you read this letter I had enchanted the parchment to track you down. So by the end of this sentence I'm on my way.
"Shit, shit shit." He looked over at Hermione and before he even made another step towards her a dark shadow seeped through. The broom thudded on the floor waking Hermione up. Lucius glared down at his son and swiftly grabbed him by the neck.
"You pathetic excuse for a son, hiding away from me! How dare you! And to sleep with a mud blood. DISGRACE!" Draco gasped for a breath of air as his father tightened his grip. "You disobeyed your Lord and he has a beautiful punishment for you." He glared at him as he through him across the room. Hermione's eyes opened and screamed in shock. She tried to reach for the wand at her night stand.
"STUPEFY!" Lucius screamed and Hermione fell frozen on the bed. Draco flung himself at his father knocking him over. As he swung for a hard punch his father pointed his wand at his heart.
"Crucio!" Draco fell back enduring the agonizing pain. It ripped his mind apart as he screamed, his father frowned at the scream and kicked him. "You've become a disgustingly soft!" Draco looked up at his father with so much hate in his heart for him but his mouth wasn't able to say the words that echoed in his mind. Lucius smirked and lifted the curse. "You will report to our Lord. As much as I wish to kill you on the spot, I promised him to bring you in one piece." With that Lucius shouted an incantation that wiped the room in darkness.
-------------------------
Hermione groaned in pain as she lifted herself up from bed. The last thing she remembered was Draco's father knocking her out cold. She looked around the trashed empty room and felt tears come to her eyes. He taken Draco. God what am I going to do! Hermione tried to raise her body but only fell back feeling numb. Hermione's head spinned painfully as the world became pitch black leaving her only to feel the tears that stinged her cheek. He's gone and I can't do anything, he's ...
