"Draco," said Hermione. "There's been something on my mind the last couple days."
"What is it?" asked Draco. Hermione got off the couch and walked to the fireplace before answering.
"I don't think I love you," tears filled her eyes.
Draco couldn't believe his ears. "What do you mean to say?"
"I don't think we should be together anymore," said Hermione, trying her best to stop the tears.
Draco got up. "You-you can't be serious! I mean I love you!"
She turned to face him. "You can't possibly love me Draco."
"And why not?" demanded Draco, his eyes started to water.
"Because you're a pure-blooded Malfoy!" cried Hermione. "And I'm just a filthy little mudblood! You're going to remember that and break my heart when I'd fallen hard for you."
He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He whole word was falling apart all over again. He shook his head. "I'm a pure-blood, yes, but I don't want to be like my family. I love you for who are. I'm not going to hate you because of what you are."
"You say that now, but what will happen later? When your father comes back?" cried Hermione.
"Hermione," Draco said soothingly.
"Look! I'm sorry! But I don't love you!" cried Hermione. She ran out of the house.
Draco stood there, staring blankly at the fire, but not really looking at it. He couldn't believe what she said to him. Just yesterday she had told him she loved him. Was she lying? Did she really mean it when she told him she didn't love him?
Thomas apparated right in front of Draco; scaring the living daylight out of him. "Where's Herm- Draco, what's up?"
"S-She dumped me!" said Draco.
Thomas couldn't believe what he was hearing. "She dumped you? Whatever for?"
"I'm not really sure," said Draco.
"What did she say?" asked Thomas.
"She told me it wouldn't work out because I'm a pureblood and she's a muggle-born," said Draco. "She thinks I'll turned on her if my father gets out of Azkaban."
"What did you tell her?" asked Thomas.
"I told her I'd never do that to her and then she said that she didn't love me and fled," said Draco.
"But you know, she's probably right to say it would never work. You of all people know what Voldemort wants. He wants all muggle-borns dead. She didn't want you to live feeling you couldn't have protected her more because you were her boyfriend. Without her in your life, you wouldn't live through that guilt," said Thomas.
"I'd still be feeling the same with or without her," said Draco.
"Well, I don't know what to tell you then, mate," said Thomas. He got up and left the room.
