(A/n as I write this story and events happen in my life I'm starting to slowly slip back in to my once in a while depression that I thought I got over. Then I realize I'm writing this story, because there is still a bit of depression left. This isn't the only reason why..its just seems life has changed..and it sucks! 0h, I planned on updating the day Harry Potter 5 name out, but I lost track of time and I was lost in fanfics! We're skipping 5th year and going to the 6th year train. I didn't want to something when the book is out. Ok bye.

Thank to my reviewers:

Disclaimer: Check out Book 5! It's out. I'm all late. Order of the Phoenix. No I don't own this stuff. I only own the plot.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Of all people I never though that Draco Malfoy would be the one I could trust. He wasn't fully one of my close friends since most of my time here at Hogwarts. The frequent "mudblood" insult really bothered me. It would take a while for that wound to heal before I considered Draco as a close friend. Its been a year since we began this "notebook pass" thing. It's now the trainride to 6th year. Ugh!

I had decided to get a compartment all to myself since Harry and Ron had one with their girlfriends, and I didn't feel like watching another snogg session. The fact that they were happy and I was miserable made me even more depressed. So I went and found a compartment at the other end of the train were hardly anyone sat. I just needed to be alone. I needed to write. I had to escape all the turmoil and stress the train was full of. I shut the door and charmed it so only those feeling the same way I did. The moment I knew no one was around I cried. I cried my eyes out.

Then at that moment I saw the door open. Draco Malfoy stepped in and quickly stepped out upon seeing me. I knew he had hated me and I hated him. After our notebook switch last year, I felt I could relate to him. He turned to go and I yelled "Wait." in a soft voice. He turned around and had a sad, gloomy, lifeless look on his face. I felt his pain. I knew he was suffering. He came in and sat down. Then I realized only people whom as much depression as I did could open the door. At first I thought it wasn't working and quickly forgot the charm. He looked as if he was about to break down. He slowly sulked to the window. He knelt on the bench and opened the window. It didn't bother me at all to see my former worst enemy sharing a compartment with me. I knew this wasn't natural and by the look on his face and how he stood he looked so sad. There had to be something wrong so I spoke first.

"Hello....Draco." I said and didn't dare meet his eyes. I cast my head down and slowly and sadly said the greeting. He might have seemed a little startled because he didn't speak for a while.

"Hermione.."he began before almost bursting into tears. (A/n I know 00C but if you knew what his father did, you would be like this to.) "I'm so sorry once again."

"Draco..it's ok. Please don't cry." I said as I still hung my head low.

"No it's not ok. I've treated you like scum of the earth for 4 years now. I never felt right about it. Seeing you in the halls with all those people..I felt jealous. Last year we were closer I just didn't feel any difference, only a slight friendship and no evil remarks. I don't expect you to really forgive me. I'm such a bastard." He whispered. I gathered a lot of strength and endurance before lifting my head up and speaking normally.

"Draco, the wound in my heart is still there. The hate you've out toward me and I towards you will probably never go away. I am willing to forgive you. Just please tell me what's on your mind before I start crying with sympathy and compassion for you."

"My father, he abused me over this summer. I don't want to talk about it now. Maybe some other time ok?" he said slowly. I nodded slowly and curled up close to him. I felt myself drawn to him. He held me in his arms as I cried. Thinking of my father and the things that happened this summer. He whispered quietly to me. "What's your story?" he stopped crying.

"My father did the same to me. I don't know if it's the same as yours did to you. I feel so..so violated every time I see him. I know you probably don't want to here this so I'm going to stop here." He twirled his fingers in my hair. I felt so safe and comforted. I knew it was so sudden for us to be so close, but I didn't care. I don't think he did either.

We held onto each other until we fell asleep. Then suddenly the train come to a stop, and there where screams and people running down the corridors. We woke up abruptly and upon realizing that we were sleeping on each other scared us. We looked out the window and saw Death Eaters flying around. Actually Draco did. I didn't know what they looked like. He held onto me and we tried to escape our compartment. Suddenly the Death Eater closest to our window began t bang on it. I screamed and he hushed me. We opened the door slowly and standing right in front of our door was..Luciuos Malfoy.

"Father?" Draco asked. At this moment Luciuos grabbed our arms and separated us forcefully. I cried and reached out for Draco and he reached for me. Lucious threw Draco on the ground and he attention focused on me. I was scared and I stopped crying. I quickly mustered courage and said with a smirk on my face.

"What are you going to do Malfoy? Huh? You can't kill me. Ever since Voldemort died you have become powerless." I taunted as I backed up. Draco took this opportunity to grab his wand and freeze his father. Lucious fell to the ground and Draco hugged me and made sure I was ok. I melted into his arms and cried. The other passengers managed to get rid of all the other Death Eaters. We struggled to throw Lucious out the window into the countryside. After that we wet back to sleep until we got to the castle.
