Chapter 7

I pulled her closer enjoying the taste of her lips, the feel of her body against mine. It was the best feeling in the world but as quick as it started it ended.

She pushed me away. I stared at her as she got off the broom. Why was she leaving?
"I got to go Draco," she muttered as she started walking off.

"No wait, Hermione!"

She kept walking, ignoring me. I ran after her and caught her arm pulling her to me and into another kiss.

I refused to let her go. I loved the taste of her lips. I love her body against me. Her hair and her scent drove me wild. I never wanted her to go.

She struggled against me but I kept hold of her. Finally she relaxed and started to kiss me back. I let my hold on her slack off a little. I intertwined my fingers in her hair and stroked the back of her neck.

I was in heaven and I never wanted to leave it.

We stayed like that for ever it seemed like when I finally had to pull away from air. She shrugged me off and muttered, "I have to go."

"Hermione-"
But she was gone. I stared after her sadly. I've never felt this strongly for a girl. I've only gotten to know her in two fuckin' days.

I walked to the lake slowly and thought about why she was so quick to run away. Then I remembered:

"My father…She thinks of me like my father. Damn him. He ruins everything for me."

"You shouldn't talk about me that way, Draco," a voice in the nearby brush spoke softly.

I felt my throat constrict and sweat form on my brow. I looked towards where the voice had come from.

A tall, lean figure with a dark cloak and blonde hair like mine stepped out of the bushes. He walked towards me leisurely.

Even though the man was as tall as me, he still towered over me. Those eyes, with the fire that Hermione had in hers, bore into me. They again brought back memories I had either forgotten or had blocked out of my mind. I wanted to look away but I knew that would just bring on more severe punishments.

"You were kissing my Mudblood," He spoke yet again softly.

My Mudblood, those words made me want to retch all over him. He had no right… He did not own her…

I just stared at him and spoke in his tone of voice, "What are you doing here?"

"Why… Visiting…," he said with an evil smirk.

"I won't let you hurt her."

"She's not yours Draco… she's mine and your friend Josh's. She's quite good even though she resisted it. Her screams were-"
"Shut up bastard," I yelled slapping my father across the face, "I WILL NOT let you treat her the way you did Mother!"
My father stared at me with his hand on his cheek. I then realized that what I did… was the stupidest thing ever to do. His eyes were ablaze and his face was contorted in the most gruesome of ways.

I took a step back and started to run as fast as my legs could move. I heard his footsteps behind me and my heart beat was faster. I ran into the castle and up the stairs to Hermione's and my dorm.

I didn't care that I had a cramp in my side and my leg was in pain. I was terrified. I no longer heard his steps when I entered the building but I didn't care. I got into my dorm and stopped so I could catch my breath.

After I did so, I headed up to my room and lay down in my bed.

How could I be so stupid! I hit my father! I can't believe I did that. Now he's gonna find a way to get me back… and it won't be good.

I sighed and closed my eyes so I could try to think. I ended up drifting off into an uneasy sleep.

"NO! STOP!"

I jumped up hearing Hermione's cry. I grabbed my wand quickly and ran, stumbling, to her room. I threw the door leading to her room open. My breath got caught in my throat.

My father was hovering over Hermione kissing and biting her neck, drawing blood from his biting. He was violating her as she writhed underneath him.

"Get off of her!"
I dove and knocked him off of Hermione. He hit the floor hard and I scrambled on top of him to hold him down. My face was contorted in the same way his was earlier. I held my wand in a shaking hand in front of his face.

I wanted to kill him. I wanted to cause him pain. I wanted his payment for the torture that he caused my mother and me. I just couldn't bring myself to kill him.

I saw a smirk cross his face slowly as he murmured, "You can't do it… You can't kill me, can you?"

I just stared at him. I heard our dorm room door open and close and the rushing feet of people.

Lucius shimmied his way out under me and fled out onto the balcony. I got onto Hermione's bed to try to calm her down just as the door leading to the common room burst open.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape burst into the room. I looked up at them all.

They were frozen with their mouths agape. I looked down at Hermione who had passed out. It took me a while to realize why the teachers looked so shocked.

Here I am ruffled and practically hovering over an unconscious, naked, bloody Hermione. I groaned to myself and opened my mouth to tell the story but I got pushed off the bed by Snape.

"DRACO! How could you do something like this," Snape yelled at Draco griping him by the front of his collar.

"I-I didn't do it!"
Dumbledore picked Hermione up, careful to keep her body covered and carried her out. McGonagall followed close behind. Snape glared at me.

"I never thought you would end up like your father… You may not go near Miss Granger until I say it is ok… I will place a spell on her room to alert me when you enter her room. I can't believe you would do this Draco… disgraceful."
"He picked me you and shoved me into the bathroom. I stumbled and hit the floor. I didn't get up immediately, I had no need to. I let me head hit the floor.

Stupid…
