She woke to the sound of a door creaking open. She had no idea how she could have fallen asleep she was practically hanging, her hands in handcuffs, cutting deeper and deeper into her wrist, blood running down her arms. She had also attained more bruises over her body and she couldn't stand the pain she was feeling emotionally and physically. She opened an eye painfully and looked at the man that was standing before her. There was no look of remorse in his eyes, only pain and anger. He surveyed the damage he had done, it wasn't enough yet.

"P-please...just end it I don't want to feel any more....I don't want to live any more...Just end it" She finished sadly

"No...You will feel the pain I feel until that pain goes away" He stared into her eye that was open.

"You don't think I don't feel for my mother... l-let alone th-the fact that h-half of my f-friends died a few m-m-months ago" She said before the tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"Your friends?" He inquired

"Yes" She replied wearily.

"I don't care" He recovered turning away and walking back out of the door turning the light off as he went.

It was then that she decided to pay her last tribute to the ones that had been lost. She was sure she wouldn't make it through this adventure. She didn't have Harry, Draco or Ron when she needed them most. She was sure that she hadn't eaten in 3 days and her wrists were bleeding steadily as though they had been slit. The end would come soon she could feel it. Her tears rolled down her cheeks as all her energy drained away slowly.

Hermione slowly woke and became accustomed to her surroundings, she was back in her bedroom, but her body still ached incredible. She wondered why she was back in here; her father must have brought her back in here while she was unconscious. She heard a tap on the window and slowly and painfully went over to let the owl in. Hermione retrieved the letter and opened it.

Hey Mi,

How come you haven't written back? I expect you are having a good time, but don't forget us ok? So are you coming to the Manor for dinner tonight or are you staying with your parents. I hope nothing is wrong. If I don't get a reply within two days I'm coming to see you. I look forward to your reply.

Love you forever

Draco

She turned to see her father standing in the doorway looking livid.

'OH SHIT' She thought.

"Give that....to me" He said breathing loudly.

She handed it to him and she saw the predicament he was in. If she didn't write back they would come for her.

"What are you waiting for? Write back you dirty whore"

She grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill before sitting gingerly down at her desk. She could feel him breathing down the back of her neck as she thought what to write. She had the perfect plan, she just hoped Draco would realize.

My Dearest Draco,

I am having a great time here with my parents. I didn't realize how much I missed them. I am almost as much fun with my father as you had with yours. I will not be coming to dinner, I am simply enjoying myself too much here. I will see you as soon as I can. Give my love to Harry and Ron

With all my love

Hermione

She handed it to her father who read and re-read it. When he was convinced that there was no hidden message gave it back to her. She tied it to Hedwig's leg and watched as he took off out of the window. She hoped with all her heart that Draco would realize and help her.

Draco was sitting in a large armchair reading a magazine, while Harry and Ron played chess. Ron winning every single time. He noticed tapping on the window and leapt up it could only be from Hermione. They all thought it strange that she hadn't written back yet, they weren't worried they just expected her to be having a good time with her parents. He coaxed the owl inside and took off the letter. Hedwig immediately flew over to Harry and landed on his shoulder. Draco opened the letter

'Having almost as much fun with her father as I did with mine' He thought to himself,

"Oh my god I think Hermione is in trouble"
