Hermione was drawn awake from voices and fast footsteps coming down her hallway. She sat up and hid on the other side of the wide bed when the footsteps walked up to her door. Lying half under the bed on the floor, she figured out quickly, was not very comfortable.

Not a breath could be heard though, except for a door slowly opening. Hermione heard soft footsteps, and she thought that they sounded familiar. It couldn't be him, she thought, he is still at Hogwarts.

She heard a sigh and then the bed squeaking as the person sat on the other side of the bed.

"I miss her…" A deep voice mumbled in the dark silence.

Hermione felt a jolt from the deepest part of her body. She moved a little to her side to help her discomfort. She heard a soft noise emitting from the body above her, and another squeak as the person got up. She worked up the courage to move out of the undercarriage of the bed.

Inch by inch she moved until she could breathe freely. Hermione let out a long sigh, but soon regretted it.

The same tear-touched voice wavered to her side of the room. "Who's there?"

She heard footsteps walking over, and so she closed her eyes as tightly as she could. They stopped right at her feet.

"Hermione?!?" The voice inquired.

Hermione felt a tear roll down her face, as she remembered that the last time he said her name, it was in anger and remorse.

"Yes…Yes, I am here, Draco." She answered weakly.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Blaise or something? How did you know where my room was? I want you out of here." The sadness had fallen from his voice leaving only irritation and annoyance in its place.

"Wait…"

"Wait for what? You weren't going to wait for us. I was love with you, but you just throw my love away like it was trash…like it was nothing to you. Is that true?"

"No, never is that true. I would never hurt you."

Draco yelled, "You already have! Can't you get that into your know-it-all brain?"

Hermione shook as her tears fell down her face. All of the stress in her life and all of her issues suddenly fell on her shoulders like a 5 ton brick.

"I'm so sorry, Draco, but you have to trust me. It wasn't me that said all of those things to do. It was a replica of me."

"Sure it was, and you're going to tell me that I am Prime Minister."

"No, I am not. I will tell you that it was your father behind this, and not me. He took Polyjuice potion, and made himself look like me. He kidnapped me, and was holding me hostage."

Draco stared at Hermione for a moment, while his face turned a pale pink again.

"I know my father is evil, but he wouldn't do that…"

"He did."

"I'm sorry Hermione. I didn't think he would do something so horrible to you…to me. Some great father he is."

"I'm sorry Draco."

"Don't be sorry. What happened to him though?"

"Please don't get mad at me, Draco…" Hermione's voice wavered in fear.

"Tell me what happened to him, please?" Draco pleads.

"I knocked him out…he was telling me that I was going to poison the family line, and that I was really dumb. I honestly don't know whether or not, he is still living."

"Oh my god, Hermione. Did you really do that?"

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. He deserved it. I just hope he is dead."

"Are you sure? I didn't mean to…my anger just took over me, that's all. Please don't get mad."

Hermione's felt her tears streaming down her face before she looked down at the floor. She shook her head, so her hair would fall into her face. She stared at the floor for a while before she saw a puddle of her tears in front of her.

Hermione saw another teardrop fall a few feet away. She looked up to see Draco pick her up marriage-style and place her on the brass bed so she was sitting up against the headboard. He sits down next to her and stares at her for a minute. A single tear falls down his face before he speaks again.

"Tell me if you love me, Hermione. If you don't, then I'm sorry I have asked you. I won't ever bring up these feelings that you find distasteful and unpleasant again. If you do love me, then I hope you will tell me so." Draco laid his hand gently on her tearful face.

"Draco…I love you with all of my heart. I will never leave you again, and I never did it the first time. I have missed you so bad, in the little time I have been separated from you."

"If you love me so much, then…would you think about taking me back?"

"Of course, like I said before. I never left you."

"Nor did I leave you." He replied serenely. Draco's eyes locked with Hermione's for an instant. She felt tears flowing down her face again, but this time in pleasure.

"I love you." They both said at the same time. Hermione could feel a blush going to her cheeks, and so did Draco. They sat together for a moment before they heard the door open dramatically.

In the door frame was Lucius, looking angrier then ever.

"Listen, you mudblood slut. Stay away from my son!" He bellowed.

Oh! It's another cliffhanger, but do not fear. Issie is here! insert me with a superhero suit on I will have to leave to save my poor readers for more pain. I will come back with another chapter soon! Issie trips over her cape, and then flies away.
