Hermione left Draco alone and confused, went down to the common room and left through the doors and up the stairs to the fourth floor corridor. She was so lost in Draco's words, did he really mean what he was saying? Hermione just couldn't be sure, but she did trust him more that she did before that year.

There's only one thing I can do to be absolutely sure he is telling me the truth, Hermione thought. I'll have to give him some veritaserum, it's the only way. But even if he was telling the truth, Hermione didn't know how she felt about Draco, but if she was positive he was telling the truth, she thought that she might be able to figure out her own feelings. Hermione was at the end of the corridor and about to turn around and go back to her common room when she spotted Harry.

"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed, ran up to him and hugged him. "Thank god, I really need someone to talk, lets go somewhere where we can be alone."

"Yeah, sure follow me Hermione," responded Harry.

Harry led Hermione into a nearby empty classroom, they went in and took seat in two chairs that were just sitting there. Once they were both seated Hermione began to tell Harry EVERYTHING! When Hermione finished explaining every lastdetail of what had happened since she had gotten to school Harry stood up and took out his wand.

"What are you doing Harry?" Hermione questioned, but Harry pointed his wand at her and ropes flew out attaching her to the chair. Hermione tried to move but he chair had been magically cemented to the floor.

"Harry, what the hell are you..." Hermione started but drifted off when Harry form slowly began to change into, Lucius Malfoy, Hermione then gasped loudly.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Hermione screamed, "HELP, HELP, SOMEONE HELP ME!"

"No one can here you, your stuck and have no one to protect you," Lucius said, pointed his wand at her, and a gag sprang out from it and was stuffed into her mouth, she then began to cry.

"You want to know why, don't you, well I'll tell you," Lucius said. "Well you just told me almost everything I needed to know, but it's just not enough."

Lucius walked over to her and took out a bottle of veritaserum, he pulled her gag off, held her mouth open and let two drops of the vile potion drop into her mouth and down her throat. He stood there for a second or two before he began to ask her questions.

"My first question is, do you love Dra..." Lucius started but didn't finish because someone came bursting through the door.

"STUPEFY!" Draco exclaimed and the spell came firing out of his wand, knocking his father off his feet and leaving him stunned.

"Draco!" Hermione cried.

"Oh Hermione, are you okay? I thought I heard you scream so I came rushing to were I heard the sound, then when I reached this classroom I heard my father and you whimpering. Oh what was he trying to do, what happened?" Draco told Hermione.

"He was trying to find out why you wanted to be Head Boy so badly and why you have been acting so strange, so he transfigured himself to be Harry and I told him EVERYTHING that has happened between us since the beginning of the school year and then he transfigured back into Lucius, tied me up, then gave me some veritaserum. He then began to ask me a question but you came in and stunned him," Hermione said still acting under the veritaserum.

"What question did he ask you?" Draco said, now intrigued.

"He asked me if I loved Dra, but he didn't finish his sentence, I assume that he was going to say Draco," Hermione answered,

"Hold on one second," Draco began then pointed his wand towards the still open door and said, "Accio veritaserum antidote." A small vile flew into the room and landed in his hand a moment later, he then gave Hermione to drops of the potion.

"Wow, that feels better, I hate unwillingly being under the power of veritaserum, but don't you want to know the answer to your fathers question?" Hermione asked.

"Later, but now lets just go back to the common room and relax, but first I must bring my father to Dumbledore. I'll meet you back in our room when I'm done," Draco said, magically lifted his father and left the room.

Hermione went back to the common room to wait, once Draco returned Hermione was sound asleep on the couch on the Slytherin side of the common room. Droco gently and quietly lifted her up and then took her safely up to her bedroom. He laid her on her bed and pulled the sheets over her, he then kissed Hermione softly on the forehead, whispered goodnight and left the room.
