Chapter 7
Decisions and Memories Part 2

While Draco disappeared into her cauldron; Hermione peered into the foggy water, and felt her body pull into it.

She was whirling through images when she finally stopped and landed in a meadow, when she noticed Draco looking about the age of twelve. He was running at full speed in sweats.
Following him was his father Lucius barking orders at him, "Keep it together, Draco, come on, run! You'll never get anywhere like that boy!"

Draco's body had sweat drenched through his clothes when Lucius ordered him to stop.
"Do your spells now!" He yelled, shouting over the gusting wind.
Draco whipped out his wand in slick movement and stood in the "stance position", and started doing his training, "Expelliomous! Ordecuv! Revatious! Lumocono! Slactay!"
Meanwhile the wind rustled, and it started to rain. Lightning streaked the sky, while thunder rumbled though the dark gloomy clouds. Draco's hair was slopped to his forehead, by now he was soaked.
While Draco was screaming out his spells, they were hitting a barrier that sucked them in. One spell rebounded and flew back to hit him.

He landed on the ground panting because the wind got knocked out of him and he felt sick to his stomach. Lucius came over and dragged him to his feet while Draco's hand swiped against a sharp rock and it started gushing blood. Lucius slapped him across the face then he shouted, "Reflexo!" And Draco flew in mid-air while he screamed in agony from the pain his father was causing him.
"Now you get it right or I'll double you're training and you'll have no dinner! Next time the punishment will be worse!" Lucius screamed at him while Draco plopped to the ground.
"Yes father," He replied stiffly. He whipped his back towards Lucius and Hermione could see his face full of hatred and rage.
She felt herself whirling again into a dim room where Draco was standing upright. Lucius was sitting at a desk.

Draco looked about his normal age of seventeen.
"As I was saying Draco, I'm expecting you to get the dark mark soon. Then you will lead in my footsteps, you remember your training." He ordered.

Draco was clenching his teeth.

"Is something a matter about that?" He said in a dangerous tone.
"I simply won't do it," Draco replied calmly.
"What do you mean? Oh yes you will whether you like it or not!" Lucius yelled. "How many times do I have to go through this?"
"I won't, I won't!" He screamed at him with hatred expecting the worse.
"You have no choice, you're leaving for school today, and you will expect it!" Lucius screamed back and said a spell to pin Draco against the wall. He walked over and jabbed his wand at Draco's throat. Lucius's eyes flickered, but Draco showed no fear.
"I could do it you know, you would be out cold, and I wouldn't give a damn you arrogant bastard! I've done it before, so don't tempt me," He said icily. Lucius removed his wand from his son's throat, "Now go to your room, and get ready to leave for King's cross." Draco stalked off and slammed his father's office door, Hermione followed him up to his room, and his door leaded to another slam. He said something along the lines of, "Silencio." Hermione figured it was a sound spell. He strapped on his boxing gloves and hooked up his punching bag. Music blared from the stereo.
Draco was screaming and cursing as he struck the punching bag blow by blow.
"Son of a bitch!" He screamed. Hermione's cheeks were stained with tears. Draco yelled and punched while he sobbed.

She wanted to hold him to comfort him, but she found herself whirling in to a series of visions this time.

One was Draco cutting his arm with a sharp blade, one had Draco sprawled out on the floor spitting blood out of his mouth and bandaging up his bloody arm with his father standing over him, and another had him with a couple of friends.

Suddenly at the exact moment the two teenagers shot out of the two cauldron's, along with many other students in the room.
After that, the bell rang indicating that the last class of the day was over. Hermione rushed out of the room not wanted to confront with Draco.

Millions of thoughts were rushing through her head, along with Draco. By now she was out on the grounds when a song kept playing in her head.

The wind rustled with a blow that swept her hair to the other side of her head. She couldn't believe that Draco had similar problems to her, why did he hide himself? They couldn't possibly be together; it would be too awkward.
"Hermione!" He called from across the grounds. He began a steady run and stopped right in front of her.
Hermione turned away, "Why are you so keen to be with me?" She demanded.
"Your not like everybody else, you don't try to be either. You're sexy and intimate, your right for me and I don't care what anybody thinks." He caressed her cheek
"No!" She cried. "Leave me alone! Go find someone else."
Dazed and hurt looking he backed off. "What kind of woman are you Hermione? Can't you see I've changed? You've seen my goddamn memories, and that's why I did change! And don't you deny it because I saw your memories too!"
Hermione let out a long sigh.
"You don't make sense, you returned my kisses, you responded in every way you could, and now you draw away and pull the virtuous act!"
There was a long pause. One thing that Dumbledore said in their letters was that they had to attend the dance together. Draco thought that Hermione was thinking that right now.
"You remember that we had to go to the dance together?" She asked.
He nodded.
"Well, maybe I do like you, and we have to go to the dance because Dumbledore said, and it's in a couple of days..." She seemed to drift off.
"Yeah, we'll take it slow," Draco replied.
"Yeah…slow is good," She murmured.
