Ok recap of last chapter...
Hermione was facing away from him and asked, "Draco..can you hold me?"
He cuddled up next to her and held her tightly and she leaned in towards him. "Hermione?"
"Hmm..." she made a sound to show she was still awake.
"What were you dreaming about?" She did not answer so he assumed, by her slower breaths, that she had fallen asleep. Draco closed his eyes and remembered the night he had left...
"I hate you and I wish you weren't my father! How could you do these things to me!"
"Draco do not speak to me in this tone! There will be punishment!"
"I'm leaving, father, I'm going to go stay with Aunt Josie. I can't stand being here a moment longer!" Draco's father went up to him and slapped him, then shoved him across the room and he fell to the floor.
"You're not leaving, you little prick, until I'm ready for you to leave!" and his father moved towards him as Draco tried to back into the wall...
A single tear fell down Draco's face and into Hermione's hair, and he fell asleep.

"Hermione..come into the living room for a minute...your father and I want to speak to you..." Hermione's mother's voice spoke softly.
"Did I do something wro–" Hermione could not finish for her father had slapped her across the face and she went sliding across the floor.
"Your mother has informed me that while I was at work you have done nothing but disobey her! Is this true!" Hermione's face was drenched in tears.
"N-n-no!" Hermione was completely choked up.
"She is lying! Look, you can tell! That is all she does now, is lie! You don't want her disobeying us, do you? You don't want her to end up like your brother, do you! You are just going to let this brat control you!" Hermione's mother was speaking in an insane tone.
"No. She won't end up like my brother! I won't allow it!" and he began removing his belt and moving towards Hermione as her mother watched just laughing insanely with a smirk on her face.
Hermione Bolted for the front door and she ran far. She kept running, and running, deep into the woods she lived by. Finally, she came to a stop after she was terribly tired. She felt as if she had been running forever. She was still close enough to home to where she could hear her father shouting her name, "Hermione! Hermione! When I find you, you will be sorry!"
"Hermione began to cry harder and harder, and then she felt her father's belt hit the back of her head...

""NOOOOO!"
"What! What? What is it? What's wrong!"
Hermione was hysterical. She was crying and shaking and muttering things that Draco could not comprehend. "Draco?"
"Hermione, it's ok. I'm hear. It was a dream."
Hermione's eyes looked as if they would fall from her skull. She laid back down and Draco laid back down beside her and wiped her tears away.
"It was a dream?"
"Yes, everything is fine. Look around. We are in your room, safe."
"It was so real..."
"But it wasn't. Just calm down. Everything is ok."
"Everything is ok..." Hermione sounded so distant and frightened.
"And it's Saturday so we are going to go to Hogsmeade."
"Hogsmeade..." Draco held her close. What had she dreamt about? Well, I won't ask. I don't want to upset her.
Hermione calmed down and an hour later they were in Hogsmeade.
Draco held Hermione's hand as they walked. She was shaky and confused. What's going on? She thought to herself. Draco and I are holding hands, he slept in my room last night, I have been dreaming that my parents were evil psycho parents when they were very respected dentist...what's going on?
"Hermione, I would rather us be in Diagon alley if you don't mind? There are a few things I need to get. That they don't have here." Hermione suspected the main reason was that people from school were staring at them and talking about them. We are not the normal couple after all... Couple! Did Hermione just address her and Draco together as a COUPLE! Hermione let go of Draco's hand but he just took it back without saying anything. We are not a couple. I am not even sure if I can call us friends!
They walked into Diagon alley after a little while and Draco walked them both down Knockturn alley, mostly avoided by good witches and wizards, which was right off Diagon alley. "Draco, this place gives me the creeps..."
"It's fine. There is only one store I want to go to."
"Draco-"
"If anyone tries anything I'll hex them. Don't worry." and he pulled her into a little shop that looked like it had been closed down. The sign had faded and was hanging by one nail. The paint was peeling, and inside, the wallpaper was pretty much lying on the ground. There was broken glass on the floors, toppled-over chairs, and the counter was so dusty it looked as if NO ONE had even stepped into the little shop in ages. They were even leaving foot steps in the dust on the floor.
"I don't think anyone is here..."
"No, it's a secret place. They don't want too much attention."
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Hermione screamed as she turned around to see a very tall, thin, pale man. His face was long and ghost-like.
"Ah, Mr. Fregery." Draco actually knew this guy? He is so...creepy!
"Well, Draco, it's nice to see you again. It has been a while."
"Yes, well, with school and all..."
"Your staying with your aunt, correct?"
"Yes, I am. Has my-"
"Yes, your father told me. He rather misses you. But ah well. The usual, I assume?"
"Yes, the usual." Draco now seemed uncomfortable from speaking of his father. He held on to Hermione's hand slightly tighter.
"Draco, what exactly is the usual?" Hermione asked curiously and slightly intimidated because of the man who ran the shop.
Mr. Fregery answered instead, "The usual, Miss, is something grand. Something amazing!" he handed Draco a box. "The feel, the looks. The power!"
Hermione was now hoping Draco was not going to open the box but draco cut in "Chocolate frogs." and he opened the box to reveal the chocolates.
Hermione sighed with relief but then, "you brought me into Knockturn Alley for chocolate frogs! Why couldn't we get them in Hogsmeade? I almost pissed my pants thinking it was some kind of dead body parts from a sacrifice!"
Draco laughed, "what in the name of Merlin gave you that idea? Mr. Fregery is a bit obsessive over the Chocolate frogs, but it is only because he owns the factory! This is the factory we are in right now. It looks like no one has been in here so no one knows where the secret factory is."
"That is ridiculous..but why did we have to get them here?"
"I like them straight from the cauldron, that's all"
Hermione rolled her eyes and turned to leave as Draco asked Mr. Fregery a few questions, when she saw a woman passing the window. She looked familiar. Something was so strange...Something Different..it was...
Her mother.
