Hermione did not feel uncomfortable, but she felt good to be in the arms of a person she loved... wait... "I DO NOT LIEK HIM!" she thought... "She has to keep her inner feeling in from now on.." The clock read.. 2:30 AM...

"Were you ever beaten or tortured by you father?" Hermione asked Draco. She felt him stiffen beside her. "You don't have to answer, but really..." She remembered that she couldn't like her..."WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE SAME BAD AS ME TOUCHING ME!" and then she suddenly got up..

"I'm sorry, but you were screaming my name as if I was dying so I came then you came to hug me, I was tired so I laid down and down you came with me.." Draco innocently said.. "And yes.. You are the only person beside Blaise who knows.." He gave an innocent smile..

"Oh.. Well.. Sorry for yelling and I wish you would have told Dumbledore, he could have helped you..!" Hermione replied.

"You don't know what it's like to have a father who beats you.."

"You don't know what it's like to be free of those beatings.."

Draco decided to change the subject.."I know you like me.."

Hermione panicked.."NOW YOU ARE NOT GETTING PERVERTED!"

She dragged Draco back to his room... and went back to sleep.

Then... about 2 hours later, Malfoy came back again now asking "why don't you like me..."

Hermione answered..."The only way I'll love you is if you can treat me properly. The only way I'll love you is if you come to the good side. The only way I'll love you is if you can love me back. The only way I'll love you is if you can handle your dad, then I will know you are brave enough to show people that you love me. The only way I'll love you is if you can actually do those things. Draco, I believe you can and I believe that one day I will love you, but right now.. I cannot because you have not done the things I have just said!"

Draco nodded at each point and vowed to himself that he will do those things. "I will promise you that one day, I will complete them, but I already love you back."

"I meant by acting it..."

Draco said to Hermione, "But your friends.. The school.. MY friends.."

"Defeat your father and show the world that you can be my lover, as for my friends.. If they cannot support me with the one I love, they are not my friends." Hermione said firmly.

They soon went to their own beds.. Before Hermione fell asleep, she saw a ginormous hawk flying outside her balcony. She was too tired to shoo it away...

Draco's POV

I don't even know if I can actually defeat my father.. After that, I can easily go to the good side, the dark lord cannot get to me without my father. I really love her but I do not know if I can show it because this is my first time actually loving a woman that she is in my every thought...

My thoughts were interrupted when the door slammed open and my father came in. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hermione run in through the bathroom. I yelled "GO HERMIONE!" .. She stayed and was stupefied by my father. Lucius looked at me in the eye and said smirking.."Is this the pretty girly you were trying to flirt with tonight... I think she knows about your troubles now that you fucking told this bitch."

I ran toward him and punched him, but was soon beaten by his cane! I was hit bye the Cruciatius Curse soon enough and taken away by floo network.

Hermione was left there still stupefied, I was sure she would be found, but would she be safe now that my father knows about her? I left so worried...

When I got to the Malfoy Manor, my mother was tied up right in front of me! She had a gag and she was bleeding everywhere... WHAT DID MY FATHER DO TO HER!
