"Hermione, what's gotten into you," Draco asked. Hermione looked at him and it was at that moment that he noticed that all the emotion that she had once had in her eyes was gone.

"Nothing, it's what's gotten out that's making me this way. I don't care about anything anymore. The only person that I need or want to care about right now is me," Hermione said. She looked up at Draco and saw nothing but pity. Hermione turned away from Draco and looked out the window.

"I'm always here for you, Hermione," Draco said. Hermione turned around and looked at Draco.

"For how long, until we go back to school, and then what? You go back to treating me the same you've treated me for the past five years. I'm not willing to take that chance," Hermione said. She then saw hurt in Draco's eyes.

"Why are you acting like this? This isn't you," Draco said as he walked toward Hermione. He put his hand on her and felt her jerk away. Hermione turned and looked at Draco, she tried to put rage into her eyes, but she couldn't. Somehow Draco seemed to be the only person who she cared about right now.

"I am tired of not being able to control anything that is going on in my life. I couldn't control my parents death, I couldn't control Ron getting arrested, I just want all of this to stop," Hermione said as she looked into Draco's gray eyes.

"We can't control other people's destiny. We're not supposed to be able to control stuff like that," Draco said as he put his hand on Hermione's shoulder again. Hermione took a step forward and then fell into Draco's arms and let out a huge sigh.

"I know that, but I just want everything to slow down. The only thing I understand right now is that I can only trust me," Hermione said as she looked back up into Draco's eyes.

"That's not true. You can trust me, I told you I'm always here for you that's not going to change now that I understand you more," Draco said as he looked down into Hermione's eyes. He saw her eyes start to water and he leaned in and slowly kissed her. Hermione's hand slowly moved from her side to Draco's cheek as she deepend the kiss, then the tear fell down Hermione's cheek. Draco broke apart from her and wiped her tear away.

"Give me a chance to prove that you can really trust me. When we go back to school, I'll come around you and your friends. I want to be with you as much as I can. You are the best friends that I have never had, and one day I want you to be more than just a friend," Draco said. Hermione looked at Draco with disbelief.

"Don't let me down," Is all Hermione said. She layed her head on Draco's chest and they stood there in that spot for a couple more minutes. Draco ran his hand through her hair and tried to comfort her as much as he could. He knew exactly how she was feeling right now. She was afraid to let anyone near her now that she lost the people she loved the most and one of the people she trusted most was in jail.

There was a tap on the window and Hermione turned to see an owl outside the window. She walked over to the window and opened it. The owl flew in and landed on Hermione's bed. Hermione walked over and untied the letter around the owl's leg and opened the letter and started to read it.

Hermione threw the letter down on her bed and tears started to run down her face like crazy. Draco picked up the letter and read it. It read:

Dear Hermione,

We are very sorry to be the one's to tell you this, but we just found out recently that one of your friends, Bren, died in a car accident last night. He got into a fight with his dad and left his house to go to his mother's, on the way there an eighteen wheeler didn't yield when it was supposed to and ran into Bren. He didn't make it to the hospital before he died. We thought you would want to know.

Sincerely,

The Banks

Draco put the letter down and looked at Hermione. How is it that one girl could have so much bad luck in so little time. She lost her parents, her best friend, and another best friend in less that a month. He sat down next to Hermione and wrapped his arms around her. Hermione just layed her head on his shoulder and let out all her frustration that had build up inside of her.

"Hermione, I am so sorry. I never know one person could deal with so much in so little time," Draco said softly.

"It seems like every time I try to pick myself up I get knocked back down. Does God hate me right now, or am I supposed to learn something from this," Hermione said in-between sobs.

"God doesn't hate you. You probably have to learn something from all of this. If I had to take a guess, it would be not to mess up your life or do anything to end it, "Draco said. Hermione looked up at Draco and gave him a small smile. She wiped her face and then looked back up at Draco. They held a gaze for a couple of seconds and then Hermione pulled Draco's face toward her and kissed him.

Draco didn't try to fight this. He was starting too really like Hermione and he would do anything right now to help her anyway he could. He felt Hermione start to move position and he moved back for her, as she threw her leg over the other side of him. Then she slowly started to push Draco down on the bed. Hermione broke the kiss and looked into Draco's eyes again.

"Hermione, is this what you want? I don't know if this is right, not with the state you're in," Draco said.

"I don't know what I want. Right now I just want to be with you," Hermione said as she moved back down and kissed Draco again. They sat there for a couple of minutes just kissing, with their tongues moving together, until Hermione started to move in a grinding motion. Draco went along with what she was doing. Their hips where moving in sequence together; Draco started to work up a sweat. Hermione stopped kissing Draco and they locked eyes once again.

"Hermione, I love you," Draco whispered. Hermione still had her eyes locked onto his and she was moving up and down.

"I love you too," She said. Draco moved his hands up to Hermione's hip for a split second and then moved them up the seam of her shirt. He sat up and took her shirt off of her and started to kiss her neck. Hermione moved her hands to the bottom of his shirt and pulled it off too. She pushed him back down on the bed and his hands started to move down into her pants.

Draco flipped to that he was on top and Hermione was on the bottom. He looked down at her and then he started to unbutton her pants for her. Hermione sat up and started to unbutton Draco's pants too. His pants dropped to the floor as soon as they where unbuttoned, but Hermione had to make Draco stand up so that she could pull her pants off of her. When she stood up Draco started to kiss her and pulled her pants and underwear off of her at the same time. Hermione pulled on his boxers and they fell to the floor too.

Draco took off Hermione's bra and then pushed her back on the bed. He kissed her again, but this time when they broke apart he looked down at her and asked," Is this your first time?" She shook her head no. That was all he needed he thrusted himself inside of her and started to move in and out slowly. He started to get faster. Hermione started to move her hips in motion with Draco. They where both panting heavily and Hermione was starting to moan. Hermione flipped them over and started to move in the same motion as Draco. Draco put his hands on Hermione's hip and sat up and started to kiss her neck.

Hermione was starting to moan louder, and Draco was starting to get really sweaty. Hermione started to scream out Draco's name as she was reaching her climax. Draco suddenly turned so that he was ontop and took himself out of hermione and let himself loose on the bed.

"Shit, I forgot a condom," Draco said. Hermione looked down and sure enough there was no condom on him.

"Do you think you pulled out in time," Hermione asked. Draco looked at Hermione.

"I don't know," Is all he could say.

That's all for now. HEHE, I'll update as soon as I can.
