A/N: Hello there. Sorry to keep you waiting. Here's the eleventh chapter.

Disclaimer: blah

Correction: I made a mistake in the chapter before this one, Hermione was not at the scene. The scene of Harry and Ron's crime was in the three broomsticks at hogsmeade. Yes, draco was there and he didn't have three witnesses only two. I'm so sorry about these last minute changes, but the plot will fall right away if I hadn't made these changes. So please bear with me. hope you guys understand. Thank you so much!

"Hermione, I'm sorry to tell you." Draco said quietly seeing the shocked expression on Hermione's face.

"Draco, you don't need to be, it's not your fault." Hermione said not looking at him

"Hermione, Harry and Ron were under a curse."

"Draco, why did they kill him?"

"I said, I'm going to tell you."

"Then stop blabbing nonsense and tell me!"

"Well, they did that because they thought it was me."

"I don't understand."

"Let me clarify this matter. Harry and Ron were under a spell, a spell my father had done. He's been after me since the incident that happened just this summer. He brought me to one of his death eater meetings. And I refused. Then Vold---you know who, called me to set the next dark mark. I refused. Then my father got shocked. I apparated to my manor and got Narcissa and left for a muggle town where Luscious wouldn't dare visit now that he is a death eater. He knew I was going to hogsmeade to get a gift for Narcissa's birthday which is this month. Then there were hardly any students there except for Potter, Weasley, Longbottom, me, Finnigan and Thomas. Potter and Weasley's eyes suddenly turned red. I knew father was around, I could feel it. And then Potter shouted out the avada spell and hit Longbottom who was blocking me. Finnigan and Thomas just ran and left hogsmeade and left me there with a dead student and two possessed murderers out to get me possessed by luscious.

Flashback at the incident:

"Mistir Malvoy! How nice to zee you! I haven't zeen you in ages. How is you mahazer?" The French man told Draco as Draco entered the shop.

"Mahzer?"

"Mahzer...you know, yoh mahzer."

"Mazher?"

"Mazher, wive ov yoh Fajsha."

"Oh! Mother! She's fine, it's her birthday this month and I'm bent on buying her a gift that'll calm her down from her panic."

"Whay, yoh mazher fanik?"

"Well, father set off to start a life without us. Personal matters."

"ah yah, yoh fajsha got ahnatha wive."

"no. nothing like that, another matter."

"ok. So what vill yoh bhay?"

"I'll just see first."

"okhay! I vill vee hat tha bak, iv yoh nid mi." the French man said as he left to go to the back.

Then Draco got the item and paid for it and then left for the three broomsticks.

"One butter beer." He said

"size?" the man asked

"venti." He said looking at the board at the back

[I'm taking the theme of starbucks here.]

"ok, name please?" the man asked again

"Draco."

"how do you spell it, sir?"

"D-R-A---------"

then Draco heard a bang on the door, it wasn't a violent knock. It was hit with a rock [oohh! It rhymes!]

Draco said the two last letters of his name and went outside to check and saw Harry and Ron standing outside with red eyes and in their muddy Quidditch uniforms.

Then Harry pointed his wand at Draco and Draco stood shocked.

And then he saw Harry mutter something.

Then in the nick of time, Neville was there sitting in front of Draco and then stood up to walk out and then it hit Neville as Draco fell backwards with a fat assed Neville on him.

Finnigan and Thomas just ran out of Hogsmeade getting all panicky.

Then Draco disarmed Harry and Ron and ran to the castle.

End of Flashback.

BACK TO REALITY NOW, PEOPLE.

"Oh," Hermione said reaction-less.

'she's obviously in shock' he thought.

"Hermione?" he said

"Hermione?" he said again

then he started waving his hand frantically in front of her face.

"Hermione!"

"Ya?" she finally replied.

"Are you okay?"

"Why would I be? I mean, my friends just killed a student!"

"Think of the bright side, you don't have to tutor that Neville dude anymore."

"But I have to tutor two more idiotic dudes, not only in studies but also in common sense and presence of mind!"

"whoa, you're burning up." He said calmly.

He let her rest and take the day off.

She was crying the whole day in her room.

And he would cut some parts of classes to come and bring her school work and to cheer her up a bit by telling her all the mishaps that happened in divination.

But there was this one time that he came up not bringing her the school work due, but flowers and a little something to eat.

Then he left her with a small peck on the cheek.

Hermione sat on her windowsill after eating.

She cut most of the stem of the daisy Draco brought and used it as a bookmark in her diary.

She usually writes while saying aloud what she writes, but then she decided not to this time.

She was a Catholic so she closed the diary and started to pray.

"Dear God, please help Harry and Ron. Help them avoid curses and spells that would hurt them and other people. But I'd like to thank you also for Draco.------"

Then Draco was now leaning on his left arm on the door frame of Hermione's door and listened to her pray and to watch her stare into the starry night.

"thank you for giving me someone who cares when the rest of the world has gone out. Thank you for everything you gave me, I hope you can take care of Harry and Ron. Oh yah! I forgot, my mom's been hooking me up with several guys over the summer and none of them have been right for me. Please please, please help me find the right one! Ok, I am putting my trust in you and I am putting my love life in your hands. When this prayer is done, the first guy I see will be that guy for me. Even when I wake up in the morning. Please, Lord, Please! The first one I see, no exceptions. But now, I'll just try to see if you can really work miracles. I'll turn around and see if 'he' is there."

Then Hermione turned around just to see who was standing in her doorway.
