A/N: Ok hi there again, I'm gonna take so long to write this but... wait, I see light at the end of the befuddled tunnel (I noe im weird don't worry). I have asked Zuvalupa and the-mpreg-spirit to help me write this chapter. huggz them both

Now, WARNING this story contains some really sad, gross stuff, so if you're not into sad things DON'T read on... well do read on but you get the drift right. Ok onto the story

Last Chapter – Dumbledore and the crew arrive at the hospital and convince the nurse (biatch) to let them see a very injured Draco sheds tears. Hermione gets asked to spend the night by none other than Draco Malfoy himself...

Chapter 5 – Narcissa's Ending.

There was an awkward silence as Hermione sat there, not knowing what to say to him. Draco could do nothing but lay there staring into space, silently without showing emotion grieving for Narcissa, his dearly beloved mother.

"Granger" he whispered quietly, tilting his head so he could see her.

"Yes Malfoy?" she replied, shivering as a draft passed through the room (the door was slightly open)

"I err... i wanna say thank you" he said in a sincere calm voice, something Hermione had never heard in him before.

"Why Malfoy, im flattered, and did you know i think that is the longest thing you've said to me without calling me mudblood" she said, smirking.

"Don't worry my little mudblood, it wont happen again."

"I am not yours Malfoy, and if i were you i wouldn't say it or i might get suspicious and think you like me or something!" she said shifting her chair closer to the top of his bed. He gave her a daft smile and she returned it warmly, realizing that she didn't really know him at all.

That's when their conversation hit off. They talked about so many things (not one word of Harry though). Draco told Hermione about the time that his mother took him, Crabbe and Goyle on a picnic and they swam starkers across the river during summer and ended up getting pecked by the gooses on the other side.

"Malfoy" she said.

"Yes Granger" Malfoy said, sipping some water she was giving him through a straw.

"Please, all me Hermione, it is my name and I prefer to be called that" she said smiling, returning the cup to his bedside table.

"Ok...Hermione, call me Draco, I despise the name Malfoy, so forever more, just call me Draco... I have no last name." he said followed by a heavy sigh and an 'ouch'.

"Draco, does your mother know what Lucius is doing to you?" she said wondering whether his mother loved him enough to try and stop his father.

He felt the burning sensation of tears well up behind his eyes. He looked at her; her face looked somewhat sad. "Hermione, my mother is... d-dead" he said, breaking into small gasps for air. Bringing up the fact that his mother was dead was not too good for Draco; he was never really given the time to mourn her death properly as his father already believed him weak and said it was unmanly.

"I-'m so sorry Draco, I never knew" she whispered coming closer to him, as he maneuvered the bed to sit him up (slanty not full up).

"It's not your fault" he stammered, a tear falling from his bloodshot eyes; onto his ever so pale cheek. She moved forwards, to the edge of his bed and sat on it. Her hand slowly moved up to his face, wiping away his tear.

She looked into his once steel grey eyes, now a soft grey. She seemed to get lost in his gaze, as more tears welled up they began to fall continuously from his eyes. The great Draco Malfoy was crying, a thing she thought he was incapable of doing. She pulled him into a sort of hug. (a/n the bandages and the wounds made it hard you see)

He sobbed into her shoulder, releasing all his bottled up emotions, he had, had for such a long time now.

He cried for a whole 30 minutes, her shirt was soaking wet but she didn't mind, somebody needed her, that was all that mattered.

"Draco. Umm, do you want to talk about this, get it all out of your system?" she said placing (friendly) soft kisses in his platinum blonde hair.

"Hermione, (sob) I d-don't want you to feel sorry for me and seem as if I am a nuisance" he said pulling back (only a little coz she leaned in).

She stared into his grey eyes, "Draco, it's ok, I don't mind, if anything I am here for you, I will listen" she said this with purity, she was a true Gryffindor.

FLASHBACK

"Dad! Where are you? Dad!" Draco yelled walking through Malfoy manner. He heard screams and sobs coming from the dining room and went to investigate.

"Narcissa, you will pay, death is the only way out for you"

"No Lucius! No!" His mother's voice pleaded and he opened the door.

"YOU, g against everything we have taught the boy, you shall pay the price of betraying your kind!!!''

There was Lucius, slowly digging knives into Narcissa's throat, crimson blood flowing out onto the floor as Draco entered the room.

Draco gasped and Lucius looked up and Dropped Narcissa, her now limp and bleeding body landing on the marble floor.

"NOOO" Draco screamed gasping for air as his world tumbled down around him. His mother, the only true person who loved him was... gone.

Draco rushed over to his mother and hugged her tightly, tears falling down his pale cheeks.

"Mother, please mum, wake up, PLEASE?" he the tears kept falling as Lucius's shadow dawned upon him.

"Leave her Draco!" Lucius said coldly, his voice full of disgust and malice.

"Wh- why did you that?" He asked pleading looking up at Lucius.

"Y-you killed her" he lay his mothers body down gently, stomping towards Lucius with a look to kill the dead upon his pasty white cheeks.

Lucius's eyes widened with horror as he realized what he had done.

Lucius picked up one of the knives, it's silver blade shining in the light, reflecting of the crystal chandelier. He lowered it down to his side as Draco neared him, he swiped at Draco's face, bleeding for the cut he swore at his father.

"I HATE YOU... YOU BASTARD", Draco screamed, his tears were uncontrollable, as he lunged at his father.

As he pounced on his father, Draco, as much as the anger flowed through his veins, couldn't bring himself to hit his father. Lucious raised his fist, beginning to hit Draco now, first Narcissa and now his heir, Draco.

"Why??" Draco's heart was full of questions that needed to be answered as his father beat him. He looked into his father's grey like eyes filled with tears. "Dad??".

He continued to beat him as Draco had no guts and energy to challenge his violent father. Lucius levitated him up and out of the house, port-keying him to Hogsmede.

Then he went blank as he past out, in anger, depression, sadness

END OF FLASHBACK

"Draco what's wrong baby" she cooed.

"I err, oh Hermione it's all my fault" he cried.
