Draco smirked as Hermione cried for hours and was actually rather relieved when she fell asleep in exhaustion. Draco stood up, not bothering to remove Hermione leaving her to the fall to the floor. The fall woke Hermione but only for a moment as she went straight back to sleep afterwards. Draco looked down at her restful body and smiled slightly, it was very slight but there all the same.

"Your father said that as you can't leave the girls sight you have to eat down here" A soft voice spoke from the entrance and Draco turned his head to see his mother in the doorway with a tray of food for him. Draco very rarely saw his mother but he loved it when he did. Slowly he made his way over to her and took the tray from her.

"Thanks mum"

"No problem dear, how is she? Has she woken yet?" Narcissa looked beyond Draco and down at the girl lying on the floor like a pile of rags. She couldn't understand how anyone could be so cruel as to do something like that to such an innocent girl, least of all her husband. Snapping her out of her thoughts her son spoke.

"She's fine" Draco said, as he saw the look on his mothers face, he continued, "She woke up and has just gone back to sleep before you came in" he paused for a moment to move his hair out of his eyes before adding, "I'll take good care of her, don't you worry"

Narcissa smiled at her son, he was better than his father, she knew that. If he had been younger she would have swooped him into her arms and given him a hug but as he was older she knew he would hate it so she decided against it. Narcissa gave him a small nod, looked down at the girl and then turned around and walked out of the room.

A smirk appeared on Draco's face, he never thought lying would be so easy, but at the end of the day it was only his mother, it may take a long time before he managed to lie to his father but he would love it when he finally did. With all the grief his father gives him it would be the sweetest revenge to be able to fool him with lies.

Draco took the tray and walked over to the wall. Settling down Draco glanced over at Hermione and saw her breathing in and out slowly, her face looked so peaceful and so unlike Hermione that he actually had the urge to touch her but he didn't, he would have to keep himself to himself or things could get ugly. A small sigh escaped his lips as he turned away from Hermione and picked up the sandwhich that was on the tray. Ham and penut butter, his favourite, trust his mum to make him that. A smile spread across his face just as he lifted the sandwhich and took a bite.

"NOOO!" Draco jumped as he turned to see sweat falling down Hermione's face and her body was shivering, something wasn't right and he couldn't help but feel worried but once again he did nothing for there was nothing that he could do. Draco guessed that she was probably dreaming about the kidnapping but he couldn't be so sure. Hermione was shaking vigourously now and Draco new that he had to do something, he couldn't just sit there and watch.

Taking a deep breath Draco got up and made his way over to Hermione and as he went to shake her to wake her up his father walked in. Seeing the scene before him he walked over to Draco and pulled him up by the collar of his shirt, nearly strangling Draco.

"What do you think you are doing?" Lucius asked powerfully moving his face closer to Draco's as he did.

"I was... i was hurting her" Draco said quickly, "She was making a lot of noise and she was getting on my noise so i was bending by her to hurt her and make her stop the noise"

Lucius stared into his son's eyes with disbelief but he doubted that his son would lie to him, "Don't do anything like this again or you know what i'll do" Lucius said angrily before dropping Draco onto the floor and exiting the room. Draco rubbed his neck where Lucius had grabbed him.

"Why did he do that?" Draco turned to see Hermione sitting up looking at Draco worriedly, "You didn't even do anything and your his son" Hermione muttered before summing it all up. Gasping Hermione raised her hand over her mouth and suddenly felt extremley sorry for Draco but she couldn't say anything and so she wouldn't.

Draco ignored Hermione as he continued to rub his neck knowing that sooner or later Hermione would start to ask questions. Just as he had thought Hermione had ignored her instincts and started asking questions.

"Why haven't you told anyone?" Hermione asked as she sat up and leant against the wall.

"Shut up" Draco said as he stopped rubbing his neck.

"He could kill you"

"I said shut up"

"But..."

"Shut up mudblood before i curse you"

Hermione opened her mouth to protest but then thought against it and closed her mouth. She had no idea that Lucius could be so cruel. She knew he was cruel but not cruel enough to hurt his own son. Hermione could only imagine what he did to Draco and she didn't like it one bit. Sure Draco wasn't the nicest person in the world but now she knew why. No one deserved to be treated like that.

"Can you just answer one question please?" Hermione asked after making her mind up fully, she just had to know the answer to this one question and she would leave him alone.

"You can ask but i'm not promising to answer"

"Why do you want to be like your father when you grow up:

Draco let a sigh escape his lips as he looked towards Hermione, "I don't, but if i let the family name down who knows what he'll do"

"That's horrible!" Hermione exclaimed shocked to her bone.

"Don't" Draco said as he stood up and looked away from Hermione, he had no idea why he was pouring out to her on the first place, "You have no idea what it's like and i don't want your sympathy"

Hermione nodded, she respected his request and wouldn't pester him about it anymore for she knew she didn't know what it felt like. Even though he had asked for no sympathy she still couldn't help but feel sorry for him but if he wanted no sympathy she would just keep her thoughts to herself.

Hearing footsteps near the entrance Draco turned to Hermione, "Pretend to sleep now" he whispered quietly but loud enough to hear. Without arguing Hermione lyed down and closed her eyes just as an unexpected visitor entered.
