I would

His face shows this is something he finds hard to talk about. He doesn't know how to explain doesn't feel he should have to tell her, but he knows he will. She deserves to know.

Hermione's just standing there waiting wondering what an earth his is excuse is. She thinks it will be something stupid. She wasn't expecting what she herd next.

"For my whole life, until I came to Hogwarts I lived in fear of a group of Muggles. They were a gang of 14 and 15 year olds who lived near me. I didn't go to Muggle School until I was 10. I only went because some weird legal people found out and said I had to go. My parents didn't want to cause a fuss incase someone found out we were wizards and my parents couldn't home school me because of there work."

Hermione couldn't believe Draco had been to a muggle school she though his parents would do anything to get him out of it , but the way Draco had said work had made her think that they didn't really care what happened to him.

"Before I went to school I would look out of my bed room window and see the gangs in the street. I saw some terrible things that they did , smash up cars , beat people up ,I saw one boy almost beaten to death."

Draco turned away for a second trying to block the image of what he could remember as a small black heap stained with blood. A boy curled up on the ground.

"One day coming home from school they saw me. They started calling me the posh boy because they knew where I lived , each day they would follow me home form school and I became more afraid that I would be one of there victims. All they ever did to me was throw a brick at my window but never did it again because the window had an Repelling spell on it. A girl in my class didn't show up for school one morning and I herd from some older students she had been raped by the gang. I didn't know what that meant at the time. My parents changed my school soon after."

Hermione could sympathize with what he was talking about, she had never been a victim herself but saw fights were she lived.

"Why do you hate all Muggles? Those were just a group of idiots? There not all like that." She said in a soft tone she appreciated how hard it was for him to talk about this.

" I don't know" he looks at the floor "My parents always Forbid me to be with Muggles and told me never to talk to Mud-Muggle borns" He corrected himself mid word " I was afraid I would meet Muggles like that again so I did as they said"

He pauses and considers what he is about to say "I guess, I just got a reputation at Hogwarts for being against Muggle borns and went with it."

"But you could change you could………" he cut her off "Hermione if it was just me maybe I could, but around my friends now it's automatic, if I changed I would lose my friends. And on one from another house would want to make friends with a Slytherin and you know it." She knows he's right, a small voice in her head whispers "I would" but she says nothing.

There's more , I could have finished it in this chapter but I thought that was a good place to end it.

Thanks goes to Camilla and Savay-of-F12 for staying with this Fic!
