When Hermione opened her eyes she was greeted by a very happy Madam Pomfrey.
"Oh thank heavens you're awake," she said
Hermione smiled at her and said hello then she tried to sit up on the bed. Unfortunately, her entire body was still throbbing with ache so she surrendered and collapsed back down.
"Your body is still weak Miss Granger you really need to just lie down and rest, Mr Malfoy should be back soon" she continued.
"He didn't leave did he ?" she questioned.
"No, Not at all he's just sat here all night, i was kind of worried he had not eaten anythin, and this morning he rushed out he said he needed to get you something and speak of the devil" she laughed as she saw Draco strolled in.
"Hey girl your awake" he gently said as he walked over and sat on her bed. She stared into his eyes, the were warm not the usual cold emotionless ones. "Look what i got you" he lifted a small paper bag up inside was a box of strawberries. They were her favourite.
" Oh thanks , erm...Draco about last night.." she stopped considering if she should continue.
" You will do it right ? " he was beginning to worry... what if she refused ?
" I..really...I...need...." she stuttered.
Draco gently placed his finger on her lips and smiled, " I'm here remember" .
She just nodded.
" Wait Draco i know i'll forget all this , so i wrote a letter , a letter to myself, maybe i'll remember you....but i might not please forgive me if i don't i...." tears began to brim in her eyes, she was frightened you could tell.
" I will never blame you Hermione ...never, now you remember that even if you don't remember me ." he pulled her into and hug they broke apart and he gently placed his lips on hers and embraced it with his , this would be their last kiss for this mememory
" Herm..Herm" coughed Mdm
"Shall we begin?" she asked
They broke apart and looked up at her then to each other , the read each others eyes
"Yes" they both repied in unision.
Carefully handed her a vial of sleeping potion..." Draco.....i love you" and she slowly driffted of to sleep.
Draco felt a cold hand grip at his heart, she wasen't going to remember all the times they have had, all he could do was hoped that she would survived......he didn't dare ask for her love.
" Your turn Mr Malfoy" continued Mdm Promfrey as she ushered him neighbouring bed.
In a gulp he drank the vile liquid, all he remembered was Mdm Promfrey muttering a spell befor he was engulfed into a world of darkness.
* Dream*
He found himself standing in a black room where he saw a little girl in a corner crying. He walked over and knelt down " Hey you..whats wrong?" she didn't answer him but looked up and starred staight pass him. Her face was like a porceline doll, her body so fragile, as though touching her would cause her to shatter. He hair was a brown mass of locks, her honey brown eyes filled with tears. He got up and turned around to see what she was staring at.
As if on cue, the door flung open revealing the dark figure of a large man holding a beer bottle. " Where is it, girl?!" he shouted, eyes searching frantically around her room. She did not dare answer her drunken man whom she called her father. " I 've told you many times not to lie haven't i ?! " he roared. His eyes now landed on her. She burried her head into her arms as he approached her. " Its not here," she stuttered. " Your bloody mother has spolied you wrotten, after I'm done with you she'll get it ,"he said in his deep, deadly voice. He grasped her hair and jerked her head upwards, forcing her to meet his cold grey eyes. She gasped in fear. " Which after she'll be nowhere near to save you ever again?" he asked, knowingly. An evil smile crept onto his thin lips. Inwardly, she winced. She refused to answer him, out of anger, he picked her up and threw her to the ground. She lay on the damp floor, sobbing.
Draco saw this and ran forward to stop the man , but to his suprise he ran right pass him.
"No.." he muttered he turned and tried again but of no use.
" Hermione..! " screamed a voice from the door. This made Draco turn back to the little girl. He was skocked and stunned, that young frail girl was Hermione,
"No it couldn't be" he cried
" You bastard what have you done to her " she cried, She was a lady who Draco presummed was her mother.
He sniggered. She got on her knees and took the young girl into a hug. "What has he done...Hermione talk to me ?!" she whispered, "Mommy..." the girl mutterd before she fell unconciousness. " Don't you dare talk to me like that!" he said, eyes burning with fury. He raised his hand and slapped her right across her cheek, forcefully. The impact left her sprawled across the floor. " I've called the police, we're not taking your crap anymore." she said as she picked her daughter up, just then, police sirens were heard approaching. " You'll pay for this" he shouted before he dropped the bottle and ran out.
Draco stood there dumbfouned. Was this the childhood that she was brought up in? But he seemed loving her "father" who he knew, seemed so loving and was most definilty not this man.
He stood there and stared at the mother and child, his heart felt so painful , who knew she had grown up in a childhood just as bad as his.
Suddenly, he felt a gush of wind and his body seemed to rise and blend with the moving air, the picture seemded to blur, and soon he found himself on a lonely street in London.
He saw a young lady ...at least 9 years of age . Walking down the deserted street. Draco followed her to a little mobile home and followed her through the metal door.
"Mommy..Mommy I'm home" she shouted just enough to echo through out the small metal junk.
"Ah..Hermione, your back" smiled her mother as she hugged her daughter.
"Mommy look what i bought for you, for your birthday" the young child exclaimed as she held up a small bag.
The curious mother took the bag to hand and opened it carefully . Inside contained a small punnet of strawberries.
"Hermione...where did you get the money from" her mother asked worriedly.
"I..I've been saving, i know how much you love to eat them but we could never aford it so....anyway do u like it mommy ?" she asked as she beemed a cheeky smile.
" Of course...i do " and she gave her a big kiss.
Draco looked carefully at the scene before him. The two were poor yet happy. When he was young, money was everything, without money there was no happiness or so he thought.
"Oh thank heavens you're awake," she said
Hermione smiled at her and said hello then she tried to sit up on the bed. Unfortunately, her entire body was still throbbing with ache so she surrendered and collapsed back down.
