Chapter Seven

Draco woke up in the hospital wing a couple of hours later to find Hermione's head on top of his chest and her eyes were closed. One of her cold hands were wrapped around his and the other gently lay on his chest under her tired head. Her slow soft breathing told him that she was asleep.

Oh, bloody hell! He thought as tears filled his soft gray eyes. What is she doing. People can see.

She woke up to his soft sobbing and looked at his torn face. He was looking the other way and didn't notice that she was awake.

"Draco?" Hermione said with a tired but excited voice. He slowly turned his head and looked at her beautiful face.

"Hermione!" He tried to sit up but instantly fell back down onto the pillow because a shock of pain went through his neck and spread through the rest of his torn body. He lifted his hands and touched the bandages wrapped around his burning neck.

"Draco, what happened to you?" She asked as she placed her gentle hands on his shoulders to make sure he wouldn't try sand sit up again.

"Oh, Hermione." He looked into her chocolate colored eyes. " It was horrible. As much as I want you here, you can't be near me. What if someone sees?"

"Draco," She hesitated. "The whole school already knows."

Draco wanted to scream but he knew the pain would be unbearable. He just looked her hard in the eyes.

"Why?" He asked.

"A couple of hours ago, I woke up. It was like nothing ever happened."

Draco remembered Voldemort saying that he would have to kill his Hermione if Voldemort woke her from her deep sleep. "Just like he said." Draco mumbled.

"Like who said?" Hermione asked as she looked into Draco's deep empty eyes.

"Promise not to tell anyone?" He asked as he grabbed Hermione's cold hand.

She looked at him and said honestly, " I promise."

"I was so scared." He started. His eyes filled up with tears. "Voldemort got to me. I was with him and he made a deal with me."

"What kind of a deal? Is it bad?" Hermione started to ask questions but stopped because Draco opened his mouth again and spoke.

"He told me that he would wake you up if I promised to kill you." He looked into Hermione's eyes and she knew he wasn't lying.

"What?" She whispered as her eyes widened.

He slowly got up and she let him. His face was about an inch away from hers. "I will not keep my promise with him Hermione." His eyes filled with more tears and he stared hard into her frightened eyes.

"How did he find out about us?" She asked after a couple of deep breaths that didn't help to calm her frightened body down.

"The ring Hermione." He said the second after she stopped talking. "He was watching us through the little heart ring."

"Oh, bloody hell!" She mumbled. "And it was Peter and Bellatrix who came and took the ring from me right?"

"Yes."

"And we are doing out best to catch those two." Said a deep warm voice. Hermione turned to find Dumbledore standing right next to her. "Draco, Hermione. I would strongly advise you two to be very careful now that Voldemort knows about you being together."

"Is he up to something?" Hermione asked. Draco turned away, not wanting her to see the look on his pale face.

"I sense something horrible is going to happen, yes." Dumbledore said slowly. "So please be on you best guard, especially you Hermione." Dumbledore pulled a chair out of the air that seemed to have just appeared out of nowhere and slowly sat down on it next to Hermione and looked at Draco.

"Would you be willing to tell me the whole story Draco?" He said with a twinkle in his eye telling him that he could trust the old headmaster.

"Do you promise not to tell anyone?" He asked.

"Yes, I will not tell anyone and I am sure Hermione here would not either." Hermione nodded.

Draco looked at them and closed his eyes. "Ok, but it will be very hard." He put a hand to his bandaged neck again and opened his eyes. He started the story and Dumbledore and Hermione sat there and listened.
