"Miss Granger…a word if you please?" Snape asked Hermione quietly, this followed by a raised eyebrow from Ginny. He rose from his seat and stepped to the door, all the while Hermione had her eyes on Draco, unblinking and glazed.
'Miss Granger?" Snape asked once more, when no answer came he looked over to Ginny, who shrugged her shoulders and moved closer to Hermione.
"Sweetie? Darling can you hear me?" Ginny inquired softly, "Can you hear me?" Ginny raised her hand to touch Hermione's shoulder when, without warning Hermione seemed to have shot out of her trance and teeth bearing, eyes flashing she shoved Ginny to the ground.
"WHAT- ARE YOU INSANE?" Ginny yelled from the compartment floor, blood trickling from her brow. Snape swiftly knelt beside her and healed the wound. Even through the noise Hermione, slipped back into her trance-like state and settled her eyes back on Draco.

Draco's P.O.V
'Noise…white noise…' Draco thought through his musing, 'They don't know…I give up…I-I just give up…' He watched while the train sped past, fields, country lanes and woods, all insignificant in his cluttered thoughts, tears fighting their way to the surface.
(FLASHBACK)
"Father?" an eleven-year-old Draco sounded from the entrance to his father's study, "you called me, sir?" Draco asked gently, afraid he was going to be scolded. He jumped a foot or so back when his father snapped at him from in front of the fireplace.
"COME!" Lucius spat, his face half hidden in shadow, giving him a hollow, skeletal appearance. Lucius motioned to the chair he stepped towards.
Draco respond quickly and moved to the seat his father loomed over, he had been dreading his meeting with his father and keep a slow pace as he walked to the room, he was late and he was going to pay.
"Father I ap-" he was cut short by his fathers hand restricting his air, he gasped, eyes wide trying to drag in oxygen. He dared not lifted his hands and try to pry his fathers hands from his neck. After a few painfully long seconds, lucius released his neck and took a step back. Draco could hear the blood rushing to his ears, a flow of anger, fear and distress.
"There are no excuses Draco, you're late." Lucius said darkly and began to circle his sons chair, "You think you can put off what you are sure to receive, you incompetent little maggot!" He hissed and smacked Draco's head from behind, earning a loud 'thwack' in the quiet room. "I assume you have not told your mother of the nature of our little meetings, it would be quite unfortunate for her to find out, you understand that?" He said sinisterly into Draco's glowing ear.
A chill crept through Draco's body, as he sat there, being circled by his father, like a seal, trapped by an ominous great white shark. He felt his father's heated breath wash over his ear, suddenly aware of how close Lucius really was.
"ON YOUR KNEES!" Lucius screamed into his ears, a throbbing left behind.
"Father!" Draco cried fearfully, "Father please…not again!" he begged as, in a state of annoyance Lucius grabbed him by the front of the robes and forced him to his knees.
"You will not grovel until I say you can!" Lucius said with a deranged cackle.
(REALITY)
"…INSANE?" He only heard this last part, and turned around to see his potions master crouching beside his fiancée. Yet again, Hermione's eyes were plastered on his face, unblinking and absent.
"What?" Draco asked seething, as she continued to gawk at him his anger increased ten fold, "What are you looking at you disgusting piece of vermin?" He hissed as she continued to stare at him, then a sense of foreboding washed over him as there behind the glassy surface of her eyes a glowing red began to form, menacing and feral.
"On your knees…" Hermione said in a smooth droning voice, "…Until I say you can…" Draco's eyes grew wide, and clumsily he got up from his seat, eyes never leaving hers.
"How did you-" he asked, though his words were hard to come by and he stopped completely horrified. He groped behind him, found the door handle and slid it open; he fell backwards, but scrambled up, robes tangling him in a heap.
"Mr Malfoy? What's the matter?" Professor Snape inquired, watching the usually composed man in front of him become a complete mess. He hoisted himself up from beside Ginny and walked over to the blond.
"How did you find out?" Draco asked, his eyes searching Hermione's, "how?" he got up and shot back into the compartment knocking his potions master over with his shoulder. He grabbed Hermione by the shoulders and shook her violently, this seemed to work as groggily Hermione's eyes came into focus and began to process her surroundings.
