Chapter two… The memories…

Hermione was asleep in her bed when her dreams took her back to the memories she had been running from, and the night that started her life on the run…

"Draco, wait where are we going?" Hermione said to the boy leading her. She had made a big choice to be with him instead of her friends.

"Just a little further Hermione, keep up. There are some people I want you to meet." And they continued running, then Hermione saw a little house, she stopped and looked at him.

"Draco, why are we going to my parents house?" she was so confused, he took her hand.

"Just trust me." and they finished the climb up the hill. Draco knocked on the door and when the lady opened it she noticed it wasn't Mrs. Granger, her mother. She took a step back but Draco held her hand tighter. She looked at him with confusion in her eyes.

"Come on, just come inside." She nodded as she fallowed him into the house. She then saw the grangers sitting on the couch, Hermione ran to them, grateful that they weren't hurt. She then turned to face another couple, she had no idea who they were, but Draco was standing by them and one other man… Severus Snape. Fear didn't come into Hermione's eyes but hate did. She despised Severus even though Draco was no better then him. Draco saw the look in her eyes and her right hand had disappeared in her sleeve. Draco knew she was getting her wand out from a little pocket she put in it.
"Hermione, These are the people I wanted you to meet." Draco noted that her hand didn't move out of her sleeve and her gaze didn't drift off of Snape.

"I already know him and still don't like him!" Hermione stated, Snape looked at Draco.

"Hermione, Draco is trying to tell you something listen to him." Mrs. Granger said and Hermione nodded. She then sat down next to her parents.

"Hermione, the Grangers, well they aren't your real parents." Hermione jumped up and looked at them, she waited for them to tell her it was a lie. But that never came.

"He's right Hermione, I'm truly your aunt, my sister works with Voldermort and she didn't want you to get hurt so I took you in. That is your mother and father." Hermione was so shocked as she turned to look at the other people, it kind of made since but she wasn't ready to see it that way now. She took a deep breath then said…

"Okay well if that's why I'm here then why is he here?" She pointed to Snape.

"Because there is one more thing…" Draco started but he knew it would hurt Hermione even more then this… he wanted to be the one to tell her but he couldn't.

"The boy you ran off with has bigger plans with his life and was just using you for information." Snape said coldly… Hermione's heart broke, Harry and Ron had been right, she just didn't want to believe it. Draco turned to look at her, she shook her head like this was all one bad dream… It can't be true…she thought but the words wouldn't come out. Snape smiled, like he could read her mind he lifted the sleeve to Draco's robe.
"Hermione, It is true! He has been playing you from the beginning." Hermione went to flee when she saw the dark mark on Draco's white flesh. She wanted to get away but Draco grabbed her arm as she past him, she turned to look at him.

" Let me go! You have lied to me, I trusted you, and you lied to me! I lost my friends…" then her thoughts went to Harry, Ron and Ginny… "I choose you over my friends that had been threw everything with me. How could you hurt me so bad?" She asked him. Her tears didn't fall and she wouldn't let them, she was in the presence of 4 Death Eaters and hated every last one of them. Her real parents for giving her up to be a Death Eater, Snape for killing Dumbledore after he trusted him with his life, and Now the man she loved, who she thought loved her… she pulled her arm out of his grasp.

"Hermione let me explain…" Draco said fallowing her out of the house. She shook her head no, she was trying to figure out how she could be so stupid. "Hermione I love you!"

"You love me? You lied to me!" She said with hurt in her voice "Explain to me anything you did that wasn't a lie. Was it all to get information from me?" he lowered his head

"Not everything was a lie, I really wanted to run away with you, just you and me, not having to choose sides. But Hermione my father already had my life planned out for me. We can still be Hermione." She shook her head, she had told him many times that she would rather die then help Voldermort, and still he stood in front of her telling her if she joined him helped Voldermort then she could be with him… but she would be fighting for everything she didn't believe in, everyone she cared about.

"No Draco this is your path, and we know where mine is… Which means our paths wont cross again the way we wanted them to." she said taking a step back away from him…

"Hermione know what your doing first, If you leave now the next time we meet will be in battle." Snape said and Hermione nodded, she took a deep breath then said

"I have no family, I lost my friends, my heart is now gone, this is the way it ends." she then vanished. Draco knew that she was saying a spell in her head.

Hermione woke up in a cold sweat… how could she ever forget that. And one of the main reasons she was on the run was now in her living room. She took a deep breath and let it out. She opened her night stand drawer and took out a envelope, then turned on the lamp. It had been years since she had received it in the muggle mail. She took out the letter inside it and opened it up. She remembered writing the letter Harry. She then read the letter again…

"Hermione,

I am sorry to hear all of that and I know why you can't come back. I would never ask you to. I wish you wouldn't have had to go threw all the pain you did. I am glad to hear that you left Draco instead of turning, and that there was no real harm in the information he got from you. But you didn't need the heartbreak. At this time the war is going to get worse so I don't think it would be a good idea to keep in touch right now, I promise I'll find you once the war is over.

Harry"

She folded the letter up and put it back in the night stand. She decided to get ready for work early so she wouldn't have the chance of waking up Draco. She got dressed and grabbed her purse and keys but before she walked out she grabbed her wand out of its hiding place in her bedroom. If he was going to try anything she would be ready. She then left.
