Chapter Four
Sitting in the library, Hermione was quickly loosing track of time. But she didn't care. She wanted to make sure she figured out this letter and placed all the pieces together. So, once again, Hermione read the letter:
----------------------------------------------Reads Letter--------------------------------------------------------
NOTHING MATTERS (she noted how this sentence was written the messiest compared to the rest of the letter, as though he was in rush to write it down, get it out of him)
What am I suppose to do? … Theres nothing I can do!
I wish… No. Scrap that. I don't wish, no point in wishing, not when you are stuck.
Engulfed in the Darkness,
I can not breathe.
Hatred left its mark,
I can not dream.
Engulfed in the Darkness,
There is no light.
Hatred left its mark,
There is no choice.
Hidden behind the burden,
A world falls apart.
Hidden behind the burden,
A heart is torn apart.
This is such bull shit. I have to stop being such a freakin baby by writing mudblood poetry and being weak. Its time to toughen up. Okay. Its time to make a plan,
First I will go
-----------------------------------------End of Letter---------------------------------------------------------
Hermione felt the tears threatening to come out behind her eyes once again. She has already determined that she would not cry. Its not that Malfoy is someone worthy of pity…
But then why do I want to cry every time I read his letter?It just feels like there isn't any hope in the world for him. A life without hope and love is what is causing my tears, not him.
There is more going on then I know. More that I need to understand. But I can't show this to Harry and Ron. I just can't. They hate him so much already… but then again.. so do I… Hmm… okay, well, I already decided I was not going to show it to them earlier today before I met up with them at lunch. I will figure out what is going on in my own way.
Looking back at the letter, Hermione was going over the information it gave her…
"Engulfed if the Darkness"… Voldermort. He is clearly the darkness
"Hatred left his mark"… As much as I wish it weren't true… this confirms it. Draco is a Death Eater and we are in trouble.
"its time to make a plan".. He is up to something.
Something serious enough to make him feel trapped by a "burden".
But his words… it sounds as though he is forced to do something against his will. He needs help. I can't just throw him to the dementors. I will figure out the full story first.
BUT how? She screamed to herself He doesn't even like you! He doesn't deserve your help. He has always been an egotistical pureblood ferret. However, this is a challenge, and there is always more than meets the eye.
While Hermione was continuing her internal conflict, she began to pack her things into her bag. Turning around to leave the library, she found herself pushed hard onto the floor.
I never even heard him come in! Hermione thought while she looked up and saw a ferocious looking Malfoy stand over her.
"You took it! You took my letter yesterday. GIVE IT TO ME" Draco shouted while his voice shook with anger.
Oh Merlin. Oh Merlin. So much for helping him! I need help!
"Well! Give me my parchment. NOW" Draco saw that he was scaring her. He was happy about it. Stupid Mudblood read something that was personal to him. Nobody has ever seen him write. He doesn't even like writing to people. It's a good thing he didn't start writing his plans on the parchment. She interrupted him before he had a chance.
"I'm sorry. I didn't…." Hermione was shaking while she stood up and had a wand pointed at her face.
"Save it bitch." Draco said with a little less force. Wow, he thought, she actually looked sorry… No, she is faking. Just like she did with Professor Umbridge, except this time she is trying to trick me. "You know nothing and will tell no one anything. GOT IT?"
"Yes. But… Draco…" Hermione didn't even know what she was going to say. It didn't matter either way, he saw his parchment on the floor. He quickly grabbed it as though she would try to take it back and left.
What now? Hermione thought to herself.
Authors Note: Okay, i know this may not be the greatest chapter... Things are building up slowly between Hermione and Draco in this fanfic. I hope to follow most events in HBP and add things that may have not been written in the book because while the book is following Harry (for the most part), this fanfic follows Hermione and Draco :)
But i promise to work in scandalous behaviour while keeping it as plausibleas possible:) We are know how hot Hermione and Draco love scenes can be :)
Please keep reading and reviewing if you have any ideas, or thoughts, or anything :)
