A/N: I was going to wait a while before posting this chapter but i just couldn't stop myself! I'm having such a good time writing this fanfic and i just hope your all having just as good time reviewing it!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. The characters belong to the wonderfully talented J.K.Rowling.

"Your father told me you were down here" Came a very familiar voice as the visitor walked further into the room, "Been treating IT right?" she asked referring to Hermione who was lying on the floor with her eyes closed.

"Well I haven't been sitting here doing nothing" Draco responded, "I don't want to be bored now do I? I mean why leave a perfectly good toy alone?"

A smile appeared on the woman's face. "This girl deserves all the beatings she can get" she replied, "She tried to help save Sirius Black, it's a shame I killed him really isn't it" When she said Sirius Black you could hear the distaste in her voice.

"You didn't kill him," Hermione murmured in her 'sleep'. She couldn't just sit there and listen to Bellatrix talking like that, She just couldn't.

Bellatrix turned and looked at Hermione, "What did you just say?" she asked venomously.

Hermione opened her eyes and glared at Bellatrix hard in the eyes, "I said you didn't kill him" she replied angrily.

Without any warning whatsoever Bellatrix moved over to Hermione, lifted her foot and kicked Hermione in the stomach making Hermione clutch it. Why did everyone feel it was necessary to kick her there?

"That's what I thought you said and if I was you I wouldn't say it again because if you do you'll receive more than a pathetic kick" Bellatrix gave Hermione an icy glare before walking back over to Draco, "You tell me if she say's anything and if I find out that she has and that you haven't told me I think a word with your father will be in need"

Draco nodded, "Yes, I will do that for you and I will not lie to you or keep anything from you" Draco said looking at Bellatrix straight in the eyes.

"Very well, I must go now" Bellatrix gave Draco a small smile before turning around and walking out of the room, leaving an icy silence amongst Draco and Hermione.

Once Draco was sure that Bellatrix had left fully he turned to Hermione, "What the hell was that about?" Draco asked.

"It doesn't matter" Hermione replied as she continued to clutch her stomach. She didn't understand why she had to go through all this suffering. Why didn't they just kill her like they did her parents?

"Yes it does" Draco replied moving closer to Hermione pulling out his wand in the process, "I told you to pretend to sleep and you opened your mouth and spoke, you disobeyed my orders Granger and I don't like being disobeyed." Draco was now a few centimetres away from Hermione with his wand pointing at her heart. "Tell me why you spoke or I don't know what I'll do"

"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand" Hermione said her breathing getting shorter as she looked at the wand in Draco's hand. She knew what he was capable of and she didn't want it to be used on her.

Draco's face tightened as he glared down at Hermione, she wasn't going to get around him that easy. He had no choice, if he didn't do this it would happen to him and he wasn't going to take that risk.

"Densaugeo" Draco said and as it did last time the spell happened immediately. Hermione moved her hand towards her now rapidly growing teeth. She stared in horror at Draco whose face showed no emotion whatsoever.

"Th… Thof!" Hermione cried glaring at Draco, she couldn't even speak properly, how did he expect her to say anything if she couldn't even say stop?

"Finite Incantatum" Draco said clearly, his wand pointing at Hermione. Her teeth stopped growing but to his horror and Hermione's they didn't shrink back. Draco lowered his wand as he looked at Hermione, "Sorry"

Just by looking in Hermione's eyes he could see her disbelief and anger at him. What had he just done? Why did he just do that? He knew that last time he had done that she had, had to go to Madame Pomfrey to sort it out. Draco searched his brains for all the healing spells he knew but none of the ones that came into his head would have worked for this. He couldn't just give up; he couldn't just leave her like that.

Hermione kept her hand over her mouth. Wishing and wishing that her teeth would shrink back. How could Draco do that? They had been getting along so well… hadn't they? Closing her eyes Hermione fought back the oncoming tears, she knew Draco wouldn't know the spell to make them grow back, she did but just telling him it wouldn't help him.

"Son" Draco spun around to find his father in the doorway. Lucius was wearing his cloak but his hood was down and his mask was off. Why did he have to come in now? He would know the spell that Draco used, call him weak and he will also know if he takes it off. "Where is she" Lucius asked referring to Hermione as he walked further into the room.

"Right there" Draco said moving out of Hermione's way so that his father could see her but he reacted in a way completely different to what he thought he would react like.

"What have you done Draco?" Lucius raged angrily as he moved closer to Hermione who had closed her eyes tight scared of what Lucius might do.

"I…I…I" Draco stuttered nervously. He never knew how to respond to his father when he was angry with him. Especially when he didn't know what he had done.

"How can I take her to the dark lord looking like that?" Lucius asked turning to look at Draco, "What do you propose I say to him Draco? What do you propose I SAY?" Lucius shouted pulling his wand out of his pocket and pointing it at Draco.

"I…I…I" Draco could smell his father's scent as his father walked closer and closer to him. Only once before had his father used his wand against Draco and that time he had almost killed him and if it wasn't for his mother he would have. "Father…"

"What Draco? What is it? Got a plan? Got an apology?" Lucius roared now inches away from his son's face.

This time Draco was lost for words. Nothing he said could save him from the agonising pain he was about to receive. No words could but someone else could. As Lucius pushed his wand against Draco's throat, Draco dropped his wand discreetly and kicked it towards Hermione. Hoping that she would do something or he may not survive much longer.

Feeling something hit her arm Hermione opened her eyes to see a wand lying by her side. Looking towards Draco and his father she saw the scene and saw that Draco was without a wand. He wanted her to save him but what could she do to save him? What could she do? Seeing Lucius' wand go deeper into Draco's throat she grabbed the wand stood up and pointed it at Lucius.

"Any last wishes before you die Draco?" Lucius whispered viciously into Draco's ear but Draco didn't say anything. A smirk appeared on Lucius face. This was it, the thing he wanted to do for sixteen years was finally happening.

"STUPEFY"
