Working on a new story… but still continuing this one…
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I only own the plot.
Chapter 14
Many weeks past since that day at the Quidditch pitch. The Slytherins and Gryffindors had every class together except Herbology, so Draco and Hermione were paired up in every class. Most of the classes were advanced so you learned from each other and the teachers just stared at you. The dances passed and Draco, Hermione, Terry, and Justin were hanging out. (Justin threw a fit but got over it quickly). Hermione stopped talking to Harry and rarely talked to Ron. The golden trio died and the Slytherin prince was missing in action so their group was also slowly deteriorating.
"Now that Voldemort is on the rise again we have to night shifts. As prefects you are obligated to do this" Draco said
"Dumbledore has asked us to have prefects from different houses go to patrol" Hermione said
"Now pair up with a person not in your house now" Draco said sternly
"Okay." Hermione says taking out a quill and parchment. " Terry Mawkson and Julia Gonalds ( Ravenclaw and Gryffindor)…Avida Carkile and Blaise Zambini….(Ravenclaw and Slytherin)… Juliet Madison and Peter McGowin (Hufflepuff and Slytherin)… Samantha Trout and Ginny Weasley (Hufflepuff and Gryffindor)…
"At least you can do that right" Draco said with a smirk
"Shut up Malfoy." Hermione said
"Shut it Granger! I don't have time for your nonsense so there are nine floors needed to be covered and not to mention the outside grounds for now. So Terry and Gonald's you get floor 6 and 4. Aviada and Blaise gets 2 and 7. Juliet and Peter you get 9 and 3. Samantha and Ginny floor 1 and 5. Granger and I will get floor eight and the outside. We will also double check what you checked after your shifts are done."
"Starting tomorrow you will finish your homework and after the curfew (10:30) you will start patrolling until midnight. You will report anything and everything to us. Got it?"
Every body nodded
"Okay then. Your next meeting will be a 2 weeks. It will be to plan for the Christmas ball. If there are no further questions this meeting is adjured" Draco said as he watched everybody leave
Hermione stayed behind to clean up the mess with Draco. Dumbledore told them to so they did so. Over the last couple of weeks Draco and Hermione became close. They were like best friends.
Draco pulled up his sleeve to pick up candy wrappers and soda bottles. He forgot to wear the band and before he knew it he was throwing trash right in front of Hermione which revealed his wrists.
Hermione stared at it for a second.
"Draco Chad Malfoy get you arse over here and show me your wrists!"
"Hermione not now. Just finish this and I will explain later okay?"
"You know…fine…"
Hermione's thoughts
These weeks have been hard. I mean dealing with Harry and not to mention my powers… I mean Draco is always there to help me… and now he's a cutter? I can't help but to feel as if he's hiding something…right now I really need a friend and I'm happy that I do…one that actually cares… back to Draco here… A cutter…a drinker? Somehow I'm not surprised… I mean looking at all the things he had to live through… I remember that night...where we talked about his father... that abusive guy… that's the reason why Draco never hit girls… because of his father… he hurt his mother…and now he's like a genuine guy…I really did judge him wrong….
"It's done Hermione. We can go and talk now… Let's head to the tower okay?"
"Yea sure…
Btw: Draco didn't tell Hermione about his powers yet.
