1st January 1999.

Hermione sat down for the first time in 7 hours, she sighs and looks down at her new maid's outfit that Mr Malfoy had gotten her, Mrs Malfoy had told him not too but he still did, it was like one of the old style maid dresses, it was black and white, it went to her thigh and showed her cleavage, she hated the clothes, but at least she got fed, clothed in some good clothes when she wasn't working, she had a nice place to sleep and was sort of treated nicely, she couldn't think about Ron or Harry without crying, she was sometimes hurt but she knew that she would get through it all. After a couple of minutes she felt like crying, she had heard Mr Malfoy talk about the new law, the one where all Muggleborn's and Blood Traitors have to marry a Pureblood at the age of 20, she only had a year left, and then she would be forced to have two children, it just wasn't fair, Mr Malfoy had somebody in mind for Hermione, which she hated, a couple of more minutes later and Hermione feels that she is not alone, she is right, she turns around to see Draco Malfoy, he looks pitiful, she suddenly gets angry. "Hey Malfoy I don't need your looks of pity or horrible smirks, just leave me alone." Hermione says angrily, she then stands up and starts to leave the room, but just before she reaches the door Draco grabs her arm roughly and pushes her against the wall, Hermione is used to this as it happens all the time with Mr Malfoy and his guests, but this time she was scared, she had never seen so much anger in his eyes. "Listen Mudblood I didn't give you any looks of pity, I would have tired to be nice, but your too filthy for kindness." Draco says angrily and venom in his words, but she shakes it off but is still breathing heavily. "I didn't think you would go so low as to touch my filthiness, so why don't you just run off and play good little deatheater." Hermione says with just the same amount of venom in her words, he moves closer to Hermione, for a moment she stops breathing as he starts to bring his lips closer to her lips, but let it all out after he walks away, she sighs and walks away from the room.
