Hermione walked out of the Hall and straight to her dorm room. She could feel people watching her, as if..they knew. But how could they know. Who knows, maybeshe was getting paranoid.

Hermione said the password and walked into the common room. She lyed down on the couch. Hermione thought about today, well you could hardly call thata day, it was still about 7am. Hermione thought about how many people were staring at her, while she was walking down the corridor. Did they really know? Or were they bluffing or something. Hermione had no idea, but one thing was for sure, she was definetly confused.

Hermione felt so stupid for some reason, like she was missing something, she didn't know what was going on,she felt as if therewas a higher causefor everything...What was it. Hermione just couldn't put her finger on it. She felt..used. A singletear fell from her eyes.As Hermione thought, her eyes began to droop and she fell asleep.

Draco walked into the dorm shortly after Hermione had fallen asleep. Draco walked past and stared at Hermione sleeping. "Haha, you stupid naive girl, how could you think, for one moment...That you are a pureblood.."

Hours later Hermione awoke and found that it was now 3pm. "Holy crap I slept a long time...". Hermione rubbed her eyes. It was then she found a piece of paper on the ground, it was addressed to her. Hermione picked it up cautiously and opened it.

Hermione,

I'm going to make this letter brief. Consider this a must do..Your Third task is to kill Harry Potter, haha, it's not going to be easy is it. But you've killed already, and you have beaten up Potter once before, so this might now be as hard as you think. And just know, that you cannot back out of this task. you will give up everything as you know it. You really aren't the brightest girl of your age you know.

Think hard Hermione. everything you thought, is wrong, dead wrong. Such a mighty Deatheater like Melissa Florence would never date a man like your father, he's pathetic. Haha, are you feeling confused? Angry? Just so you know, if you fail to kill Harry Potter, you will lose a whole lot more than you think. You know why, because of that symbol on your hand. You know it's true. The great Hermione Granger has been fooled! What about wheneverybody finds out, nothing will seem to matter, this is why you must complete the task.

P.S
When you fail to complete the task, the brand on your hand will make you mine, yeah like I said before, I will control you. You have until Midnight tonight to kill Harry Potter.

Draco

Hermione read over the letter time and time again, nevertheless the more she read it, the more she felt herself panic.

Is Draco lying to me? No, he's not one to lie. The bastard. He set me up. I never was a pureblood and I never will be. When I get my hands on him I'll rip his throat right out. How could I let him munipulate me like this! I'm so stupid! I can't believe I fell for his little trick. The letter was him all along, he staged this oh so well. So he's not as dumb as I thought, would he tell everyone? What if i get expelled! No I'm going to go to Azkaban! Oh no..I've killed..Im a murderer. FUCK! And to make it worse I'm practically going to be his slave if...If...I don't kill Harry. What am i going to do? I'm such a fool! Thought Hermione.

"I HATE YOU DRACO MALFOY!" screamed Hermione in anger and frustration. Hermione fell to the ground and bawled her eyes out. She had been decieved. Hermione had no idea of what to do. On one hand she could kill Harry Potter and not go to Azkaban or be Draco's slave, and everybody wouldn't know anything or...She could go to Azkaban, be free of Draco and everybody would want to kill her.

"Hmm...choices..choices" said Hermione scarcastically.

Hermione stood up and wiped her eyes. She grabbed her wand and walked out of the dorm. And Hermione just thought of something. Even Snape could've been in this! Oh my god! They all fooled me! What...what if Professor McGonagall isn't..really..um..Professor Mcgonagall! They could be using Polyjuice potion! Oh My god! What have I done...What am I...going to do.

Hermione was thinking so muchthat she didn't even notice somebody walking towards her. She bumped right into the person ans they both fell over. Hermione hit her knee asshe fell. Shemoved so that she was sitting down.She rubbed her knee in pain. She looked over to seewhoshe had bumped into and it was...

"Harry Potter?" Hermioneyelped.

"Uh yeah.." said Harry confused atHermione's strange behaviour."Look Hermione..we need to talk..Did you hurt yoursef?" said Harry as he got up and offered a hand to her. She took it and he helpedher up. Hermione didn't answer to his question.

"Like I said, we need to talk..." said Harry again.

"Talk? No we don't we don't need to talk at all.." blurt out Hermione.

Harry sighed. "Hermione, you really have been acting very strange. And I know this is kinda late but...I'm really sorry about everything I've done to you. And knwing that Seamus Finigan had just been murdered I want to let you know that you are important to us, ya know, the gang. The people you used to be hangin out with. And then, you changed. Look I'm so sorry about the Lavender thing, we're over now. And I really just want to be friends now. Like the old days...remember? We had so much fun..."

Hermione couldn't take it. It was just like he was beating a stick in her face, this was so painful. She would lose almost everything if this boy lived. Hermione started crying again, right infront of Harry.

harry was a bit supprised. "Hermione? you okay? It's alright...I wanted you to react, but not like this!" said Harry, a bit releaved. . Hermione grabbed onto Harry and hugged him. She pulled out her wand and said between gasps"Harry, I'm...sorry..."
