Draco was sitting in his room, looking over all of his photo albums, of his family, friends and Hermione. In all of her photos she looked so happy with him, but things this year had changed they fought more and more and he felt like she was slipping away.

'I guess that's good, it will make all of this easier on her' Draco thought to himself.

He didn't know how he heard from all the way up in his room, but he heard someone coming through the portrait downstairs. Draco shot up out of his bed and raced to his door. He slowly opened it and saw Hermione waiting down the bottom of the stairs.

"We need to talk" She said slowly.

Draco's could feel his heart racing, she was going to end it; he knew she was…why else would she say we need to talk…he slowly exited his room and closed the portrait behind him. He walked down the stairs and joined Hermione in the common room on the couch.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Draco asked calmly.

"I know it's probably nothing, but are you cheating on me with Sacha?" Hermione asked seriously.

"What! No! What would make you ever think that?" Draco said quickly.

"You spend a lot of time with her, and I saw you with her tonight" Hermione said.

"When?" He asked.

"When you were walking around the castle, you put your arm around her, forgive me if I'm just being jealous but that does look a bit suspicious" Hermione said honestly.

"I guess it would have, but she said she was cold I put my cloak around her that's all" Draco said.

"That's all you were doing?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"Of course, I would never cheat on you Hermione, I thought you would have figured that by now" Draco said.

"I'm sorry, my head just jumps to conclusions I guess" Hermione said with a small laugh.

Draco smiled at her and kissed her with all the passion in his soul, it was going to be so hard letting her go.

Draco and Hermione had fallen asleep together on the couch that night, it was almost 2 in the morning and they had been asleep for almost 3 hours. Draco shot up in his sleep; his whole body was covered in sweat. He looked down at Hermione and got up carefully trying not to bump or wake her. He walked up to his room and out onto the balcony. His mind had been playing over the conversation with his father, the things he said and asked of him, and the one almost impossible task which he would have to complete. Draco sighed, he wished he could just run and tell someone, anyone what they wanted him to do, but then they would surely kill her. Draco nodded to himself; this was the only way he could keep her safe…for now anyway. He walked back down into the common room and sat on the sofa across from Hermione, he sat there until morning just watching her sleep whilst tears rolled down his cheeks, as every moment passed, his fathers orders seemed to get harder and harder, more impossible every second, but still he knew he had to do it, no matter how impossible it seemed, he couldn't risk not doing it. He fell asleep at about 7 am just before Hermione got up. She looked over at Draco and decided against waking him, he looked pretty tired, and instead she went up to her room and got dressed, and then headed for the Gryffindor common room. When she arrived there she saw Louise not looking very happy.

"What's up Lou?" Hermione asked.

"Nothing just got my timetable" Louise said angrily.

"What you're only getting your timetable now?" Hermione asked in shock.

"No not that kind of timetable, Snape went off and made me a lovely detention timetable, bloody idiot, its like he thinks I don't remember every weekend for a month" Louise said.

"So you have to go Saturday and Sunday?" Hermione asked.

"Yep, almost all day too, I don't have to go in the morning but after lunch its just me and the slime ball" Louise said heatedly.

"Until what time?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Um, 11:30!" Louise screamed after scanning her new timetable.

"That's like 12 hours!" Hermione said.

"Exactly! 12 hours of practical jokes with the greasy haired git! For the rest of the month!" Louise screamed happily.

"What? You're not serious are you? You're going to play jokes on him? You'll be in detention for the rest of the year!" Hermione asked.

"Hermione, there is only a month left of the year, he is already keeping me in for that time, and after that we are out of school so he can't do anything about it" Louise said plainly.

"One month! Gosh it has gone so fast, the good and bad" Hermione said.

"Yeah it really has, come on lets go inside, I have like 5 hours until my first detention, I need to prepare!" Louise said and they headed in.
