Blaise sat down in the sofa together with Hermione, while Draco had gone to fetch some tea.
" when is the trial ?" Blaise asked quietly
" a couple of months away" hermione answered, though it was barely audible as it had only been a whisper.
Blaise was shocked to say it at least, the Hermione Granger every slytherin had looked up to and secretly liked as she was actually hot was not to recognise, she looked hollow, pale and broken. There was no fire in her eyes anymore, there was not a light spring when she walked, it was almost as if for every step she took she was closer to an execution machine.
" well here is tea, please just give blaise your purse and he will get a guest room ready" Draco said
Hermione shaked her head and took a tighter grip around her purse. She could not trust them, boys was not something to trust, they would lie and cheat and not appreciate anything.
Draco shared a look with Blaise, whoever had managed to break Granger was good. Really good, non of the ones in slytherin had managed to break her and they had been horrible to her. Draco suspected that it had with Harry and Ron to do, and it was not to stick under the carpet that Tom Riddle the third was any better.
" Granger look up" Draco said
Hermione did not listen and still kept her eyes at the door, almost as if she would expect Harry or Ron to come burst into this very room.
" Hermione please look up" Draco said again, a bit softer.
Hermione glanced up quickly before she looked at the door again.
" good, please look at me, I would like you to look at me when I talk" he said before she had her eyes at the door.
Blaise stood up " I have to go to work, you stay here with her Draco" he said and was out of the door.
It sounded like something one would say, but Hermione heard that it actually was an order. It was strange she had never guessed Draco was the submissive type. She had thought he was more dominant.
" I'm a switch, I like to control but I also like the comfort of being controlled, Blaise even though it seems like he is one of the submissive types he is actually a dominant type" Draco explained as he guessed what had just gone through her head.
Draco bent down and looked at her as if she was nothing more than a four year old who did not listen.
" Hermione look at me" he said and smiled slightly.
There suddenly was a knock on the door, and Draco panicked as he heard the voices outside.
" mr Malfoy open up, in the name of the law"
Draco panicked even more and without thinking threw a spell at Hermione, she was now a four year old with dark brown straight hair.
" shit what have I done" he kept muttering to himself as he went to the door. He gathered himself and opened
" you used long time mr Malfoy is there anyone you are trying to hide ?"
" if you have not noticed my house is rather large, and other than that no I don't, but what I have is a four year old who needs my attention so if you please would tell me what it is you want "
" ah only that we are looking for Hermione Granger and it's not allowed to hide her, but who's child is it ?" The man said
" it's a friend from America who needed someone to look after his daughter now can I go ?"
" ah yes sure mr Malfoy have a nice day"
Draco closed the door and ran to his phone.
" blaise we have a problem, hermione is four, she will have the manners of a four year old but still remember bits of when she was 22 " Draco said
" that is a problem, how was even hermione when she was four, I bet she was as goody two shoes as she was at school, but how did it happen ?" Blaise asked and rubbed the bridge of his nose, he felt he started to get a headache
Draco filed him in on what had happened.
" well try to take care of her and we will find a solution, just write down what I say now " blaise said
When Draco had gotten of the phone with blaise he had a piece of paper with the counterspell, he placed it on the coffee table, and went to get milk . Kids liked milk did they not, his cat had always done and cats where almost like kids when it came to behaviour they did what they wanted.
When he came out of the kitchen he saw Hermione with the paper in her hand.
" put that away young lady and we can go find a book"
" no I wanna watch tv "
" what's a tv ? Come on don't joke with Me, let's go find a book" Draco took a step closer and watched with horror as hermione had ripped the papers to pieces. And ate it.
But what had shocked him the most was that Hermione bloody granger had said no to a book.
