NICE REVIEWS to nobody…  you all must not love me but I will write anyway…

Disclaimer: I don't own anything cept the plot.

Hermione woke up the next morning in a full sweat. She'd been having the worst nightmare and she needed to get out of her room.

'It's not true…that won't happen again…I promised myself it wouldn't happen again…So it won't…' She thought to herself as she pulled on her cloak and headed for library.

She checked the time on her watch. 5:30 am.

'It'll be fine…I just need to get away for a while…' she thought as she sped off toward the library.

She approached the library door and flung it open on accident.

'I didn't mean to open it so hard… I really didn't… Is madam Pince here?' She checked around, 'Nope. Good. I just need to relax by myself anyway.'

She found a chair by the fire and sat down in it. She stared at the fireplace. She took her wand out of her pocket and pointed at it lazily. It lit up with roaring flames.

She stood up and browsed through the books on the shelves deciding on 'Beowulf'. She plumped back down on the soft armchair and opened the book. Her eyes were moving so fast back and foreword on the page that she didn't notice a tall figure sit down beside her.

"Why are you up so early?" a deep voice questioned her.

"Huh?' Her head snapped up as she looked around to find her intruder.

"Oh. Hello Draco. How did you find me here?"

"I heard you screaming earlier and I got up to see what happened and I saw you walking out of our room so I followed you…and yah."

"oh. Okay then."

"So…?"

"So what?"

"So what happened last night?"

"Recurring nightmare… Wanted air… found here."

"Hmm. Recurring dreams or nightmares mean you have only experienced them before…"

"And?"

"And, so what happened?"

"Nothing…it's just….nothing."

"No no no no. you're not getting away that easy. Your screams pierced the night… what happened to you?"

Hermione sighed and stood up. This was a battle she HAD to win… He couldn't know… He's not allowed to know…

"Mione…baby… you can tell me… I won't judge you…" He whispered into her ear as his arms wrapped themselves around her.

"I can't…"she said as the first tear fell.

"Hermione! Don't cry… I'm sorry…Tell me when you're ready.."

She nodded as he kissed her neck.

She turned and sat down in her armchair again.

Draco pulled a book off the shelves and sat in his chair again.

"My father rapes me." Hermione whispered.

Draco looked up at her, not sure if he heard her right. Tears were streaming down her face in buckets while he got up and hugged her.

"I'm…so…sorry…" he whispered into her hair.

"It's okay."

"No… No it's not" He said as he picked her up and left the library with her in his arms.

"Where are we going?"

"Back to our rooms"

"Why?"

"Because the library isn't the place to be to talk about this…"

He arrived at the portrait and pushed it open, and walked to her room to lay her on her bed.

"I'm sorry this has happened to you… and I promise that while I am alive… I will keep you safe."

She looked up and kissed him. He layed down onto her bed and pulled her on top of him. She bent down and kissed his neck leaving a trail of wetness along his jawline.

"Draco….?"

"mmmhhhmmm?" he grunted huskily.

"I…I think I love you…" He sat up and looked at her. Evaluated her beauty. Her truth.

"I love you too." And he kissed her gently before laying down to sleep once more.

I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better
And I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
A family in crisis that only grows older

Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken but I am hoping
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me is dying and
These are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart

And I wear all your old clothes, your polo sweater
I dream of another you
The one who would never (never)
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me, that's what I needed

So why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go!

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me
Cause these are, these are
The confessions of a broken heart

I love you,
I love you
I love you
I...!
I love you!

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth...
Did you ever love me?
Did you ever love me?
These are...
The confessions...of a broken heart

Ohhh...yeah

I wait for the postman to bring me a letter..
