"Granger? Granger?" The voice was getting louder and louder and yet I couldn't move, speak or anything. I felt numb, like my legs were about to collapse from beneath me. The voice kept calling my name, but then it stopped too. I felt someone's hand on my shoulder.

"Granger? Hermione!" It was Malfoy. And? I didn't care. It was only him. My legs hurt.

I woke up, in a small room. It was covered with empty vials which were littered on the floor. I tried to get up.

"Don't, I have a headache" I heard Malfoy say. I turned my head and saw him on the other side of the room, with vials in his hands.

"What?" I asked, and then the pain hit me. My head was sore. I laid back down and it seemed better.

"We have a headache" He corrected, still not looking at me.

"What happened?" I asked as I tried to find any objects that would point out where I was.

"The broom was cursed Granger, and were at the shack I brought you to on the way to the train station" He said answering my question. My knees were hurting me too. I rubbed them, in an attempt to make the pain disappear.

"Be careful Granger, are you forgetting I feel the pain too?" He asked, still working on his potion.

"I'm sorry?" I said. How was I meant to reply to that?

He laughed.

"Shut up" I snapped back. Why was he laughing? I was trying to be nice.

I tried again and this time I got out of the bed, pain free.

"What curse was it?" I asked. He still wasn't looking at me.

" I'm not sure, what curse it is, but I can tell you what it was suppose to do, the curse on it, is designed to make you sleepy or even sleep" He said, mixing the batch he was working on.

"And?" I asked. What was harmful about that?

"Granger, if you mix a sleeping potion with the ingredients used in the potion Snape made for us, it can kill you" Draco said as he stood up and gave me a potion, "Drink it, it should wash away the stuff I couldn't get out of you"

Someone tried to kill me? Who? Ron?

"Who would do that?" I asked.

"Not who Granger, it was an accident" Malfoy said as he watched me drink the potion.

"What?" I said. How could it be an accident?

"Granger, if we don't have sex, we die as a result yes?" He said, waiting for my confirmation, "This is a sign to do something, Death is starting to plan our death Granger, we won't make it by the end of this week, that means we have 3 days Granger"

I took everything in. Death doesn't just murder people; he makes it look like an accident in most cases.

"What are we going to do?" I asked, realising that I only had 3 days to go.

"What do you want to do Granger?" He was asking me. He was putting this decision down on me. How was I meant to do this? How was I supposed to choose life or death for two people?

"What if we do it by chance?" I asked, how else was I suppose to do this?

"By chance?" He repeated.

"Do you have anything to write with?" I asked. He nodded and went and got a parchment and quill. He gave them to me. I ripped up two pieces and write on each of them. Yes and no. Yes, to have sex and no that we would hold it out until death came upon us.

I then pulled out my wand and duplicated the papers, ten of each. They were now scattered across the floor. I placed a charm on them, making the writing invisible until we picked one. I waved my wand slightly and the papers shuffled themselves.

"Pick one" I said, staring at the pieces on the floor.

"You" He said.

"No, I came up with the idea, you pick one" I said. I didn't want to do this.

He agreed reluctantly. He began walking around, looking at the pieces carefully. This was it. After today our fates would be chosen.

"Granger, before I pick we have to agree to some terms. If I pick no, I'm not going to wait around until I die, I'd rather get it done and over with, so if I pick no, I'm going to drink a poison, tomorrow night" He said. I had to think. He was going to poison himself. Did I want to do that too?

"Ok, then we might as well both do it" I said slowly, "what if it says yes, I don't think I could have sex with you, when we had the urges we weren't in our right state of mind, but now because of the potion Snape gave us, I don't think I could do it"

He began to think.

"An anti potion, it will reverse the effects of Snapes potion and bring the urges back, then it should be easier" He said as he began walking around, trying to pick the paper he wanted.

I nodded, now I just had to wait until he chose a paper.

"I can't do this" He said after a while. I sighed, what we were going to do.

"Were just going to have to think of something else" I said as I went and laid down back on the bed. He sat on the floor, his back resting on the edge of the bed. What other way could we do this? I had to go outside; the fresh air would help me think.

"I'll join you" Malfoy said as he got up and then helped me. I could get use to this mind reading business. He led the way. We came up to a door, which he opened. I walked out, with him behind me. It was beautiful. I didn't know where I was, but I felt safe. The grass was green, the sun just above us. Once I had absorbed the scenery, I went back to thinking.

"Malfoy, why hasn't Ron tried anything else?" I asked, surprised that the dealer wasn't trying anything.

"They can't do anything, once Death gets involved" Malfoy replied.

"So, is Ron back to normal?" I said hopefully.

"He was probably back him to normal when you confronted him in hall" He said very amused.

"So, I was yelling at Ron when he was really Ron?" I asked very embarrassed. Poor Ron. He wasn't acting, he was actually confused. I scared him, thinking he was the dealer. Crap.

Malfoy nodded and started laughing, very loudly. This wasn't funny. How was it funny? Then everything went serious again.

"What are we going to do?" He asked, "Were going to have to do this today"

I nodded, slowly. We were silent once again. This seemed to happen a lot. I got fidgety. I took a deep breath, turned and faced Malfoy; he gave me a funny look. I then walked back to the room, where the papers were. I bent down and grabbed one. As soon as I touched it, the ink appeared.

I felt Malfoy behind me, holding his breath.

"Were going to need ingredients for the potion" He whispered, behind me.
