Stranger at my Door
Chapter 17
Unexpected Visit
Hermione spun around toward him so fast that he was surprised she didn't get whip-lash.
"You," she said, pointing, "This is all YOUR fault!" The anger was coming off of her in waves.
Draco's eyes returned to ice as his eyes met hers. "I didn't ask for this any more than you did," he countered, feeling the same anger. He knew he had to get out. If he didn't he might do something he regret. Something his father would do.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Hermione demanded.
"I'm leaving," he growled. He didn't know why he didn't just kill her. Maybe it was his father's plan- or maybe, just maybe it was because he couldn't. Not because he didn't know how, but because he didn't want to.
"No, I'm leaving," she said stubbornly and ran out the door.
~*~*~
Hermione was furious. So furious that she forgot about everything. About all the fun events, about her sketch diary, about her parents. All she could remember was the distrust of her best muggle friend, the pain in her boyfriend's eyes and the disbelief in her friend's. Then there was the evil smirking face that she risked it all for.
All these things flashed past her eyes as she ran down the stairs. The memories blinded her as she bolted outside into the storm.
~*~*~
Draco stared at the door where Hermione had just been and stood up. He turned toward her bed just as his father appeared. Draco flinched but instantly regret his action.
"Was that a flinch, Draco?" Lucius said, emphasizing the word 'flinch.'
"No father, you're seeing things in your old age," Draco drawled, his heart colder than ice.
In a flash Lucius's wand was out and Draco was on his knees in pain.
"How dare you disrespect me, boy!" he said in a dangerously low voice and stared him straight in the eye.
Draco matched his stare but closed his eyes as another wave of pain coursed through his body. Lucius saw this as a surrender and put his wand away.
"We've been watching you," he said coolly as if nothing had happened. Draco grimaced inward but showed no emotion outside, just stood up and prepared for what he knew was coming. "And we like your idea." Lucius turned his back and started pacing, a new plan forming in his head. Draco just stared at him in disbelief.
Lucius whipped around, pointing and Draco's expression was back to his normal bored look. "I always knew you were a smart boy! I raised you well." Draco snorted but Lucius didn't catch it. "How you got sloe to her and made her believe you cared was impeccable! Things would have been twice as easy for us if that Weasley hadn't gotten involved. But I like how you isolated her from everyone. Now that her friends hate her, there'll be no one for her to turn to except you! And when she does you can just laugh at her as you hand her to us!" Lucius stopped, slightly out of breath but continued, "I'll tell you, at first you had us worried, but we see what you're doing now. Brilliant, my lad, brilliant!" His expression hardened, "Just remember that in the end you have to hand her over so don't get too attached," he sneered.
With those last words he was gone.
Draco sighed and slumped onto the bed.
