Key: When Using Diary
Hermione's thinking
Hermione
Other Person

They had five hours. Five hours to buy a new wardrobe of clothes. That included muggle clothing and robes. They also had to change up some gold into muggle money - but they should be able to do that relatively easy. Hermione had enlisted Harry and Ginny's help and they were to set out tomorrow at lunch - which meant today, she had to settle with Jeans that were too big and a baggy top, not as bad as Draco she thought, as he ended up in Harry's clothes that were far too small for him. "I bet it was Ron." Hermione sighed before answering, "What did you promise earlier?" now it was Draco's turn to sigh, "I promised to be nice to your friends. But are you really friends? He didn't even say hello to you earlier. He stared at your cleavage for a minute then went back to chess. I promise to be nice to Ginny, but until I see that he's really your friend, I'm not going to do more than ignore him" Hermione sighed in defeat, "He's taking the break up hard. Why do we even need robes?" Draco thought on this for a minute, for dinner I guess. That's the only time we use them now, right?" Hermione nodded in agreement before heading off to bed. Not until she had messaged her friend in the diary though. She saw that she had a missed message.

You there?
He's probably not there anymore, worth a shot though right.
I'm here now...
Oh hey again. I'm fairly certain you are the right girl.
What does that even mean?
It means that you don't know how beautiful you are.
Stop avoiding the question.
How dare he try to flatter his way out of this. Damn slytherin!
It means I dropped the diary on the desk on purpose.
But I found it on the floor.
I was just testing you. Had to make sure you weren't someone like, merlin forbid, Lavender
Do you want to carry on with the questions?
you've already used up nine, I've only used up eight.

I've only asked six
You also asked me if I was there - calling me Slytherin Boy Person. And just then you asked me two questions.
Sneaky.
Hey, You did it to me. If you had to be in a different house, which would you choose?
Ravenclaw, I shouldn't have answered this, after all it's not a yes/no answer, hbu?
What does hbu mean?
How about you. Btw you just used up a question...
Oh Merlin! Again. I would pick Gryffindor, I shouldn't have answered this, after all it's not a yes/no answer...
Funny, but why?
I never wanted to be a Slytherin. But if I wanted somewhere to live, I had to be in Slytherin. It's what my father told me before I started. I detest the man. The hat actually wanted to place me in Gryffindor, how life would be different if I hadn't asked for Slytherin.
The hat struggled deciding on where to place me as well, it was between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.
And yet, you're not even a prefect...
That was mean.
I was joking.

Have you got a boyfriend?
That was a rather personal question
Not currently, no.
Do you see yourself having one anytime soon?
That's a tricky question, I like someone, but they don't like me back so I guess not.
Who do you like?
You'll tell him
I won't, honest.
I can't answer that question, I'm not sure if I even like him.
Is it Harry Potter?
No! We're just friends.
Oh. Is he hot?
I guess so, he's very toned.

Hmm. I'm very toned.
Oh here we go.
I don't know what you mean...
Of course you don't. So do you have a girlfriend?
No, Not at the moment anyway, I'm planning on having one soon though.
Is she a Slytherin?
No, actually she's a Gryffindor, not a prefect though - before you ask. Not smart enough to make it.
Sounds a lot like Lavender...
How dare you! I would never!
Never trust a girl who shares her name with a plant right?
Exactly!
Didn't stop you going out with Pansy?
Do i hear jealousy?
I don't even know who you are.
But I know who you are...
Uh-Oh.

So who do you want me to give the Diary to?
What do you mean?
You told me that this diary was intended for someone beautiful. Who do you want me to pass this on to?
I want you to keep it, obviously.
Do you give these to lots of girls then?
What makes you say that?
You're clearly playing me here.
How so?
You planted this for me to pick up. I bet you're with the rest of the Slytherins laughing at my expense.
I would never do that to you. I'm in my dorm. Alone. Don't believe me?
I'm not overly convinced.
You're not playing by the rules are you?
I guess not.
Will you accompany me to the Ball?

You're out of questions.
Surely you can answer that one...
Nope. You've already pointed out that I'm not playing by the rules. I've still got 4 questions though.
Damn, Do I get some more questions tomorrow
It would be against the rules to answer that question, I will however, tell you that I'm busy tomorrow, you can ask me questions every over day, how about that?
Sounds great, 3 questions left.
Are you really counting that as a question?
Yes, that too. You've only got 2 questions left now.
Why do you want to take me to the ball?
Because I like you. A lot.

What do you like most about me?
That's a tough one. Bravery? - although Gryffindors are supposed to be brave anyway, maybe your Intelligence, though Ravenclaws are smart - not as smart as you, Perhaps your beauty, I mean there are some pretty girls in the school, but I can't take my eyes of you. Loyalty? You're loyal to your friends even when they don't deserve it. It could be the fact that even when everything is turning to shite, you will try to make it better. In fact, I don't have a favourite part of you. I just like YOU.
I have to make sure he's talking about me, and not some random Gryffinor. Maybe Ginny? - She catches everyone's eye right? She's in seventh year as well now that we've doubled up.
Who am I?
I'm afraid you're out of questions...
Please, I need to make sure it's me you're talking about.
It definitely is.
Just say my name.
You say mine.
I don't know yours... yet.

Hermione climbed into bed after taking off Ginny's clothes. She was asleep almost instantly. Draco however had more trouble in his dorm as he struggled to pull the - far too tight - Jeans down, and the tight shirt off. After ten minutes of intense struggle he had the shirt off but the jeans were stuck at his ankles. Oh well, he thought as he climbed into bed, that's tomorrows problem.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! I didn't go in your vault! Please AAAAAAHHHH! I didn't take anything!" Draco jumped up after hearing the first scream and ran out of bed checking the time as he went. 1:27. He tripped on his way out of his room. "Damn Jeans!" He dragged himself back onto his feet and jumped to Hermione's room.

"Hermione! Hermione, It's okay. Nobody's going to hurt you." She was still screaming, his words doing nothing to help her. "Hermione!" He shook her shoulders lightly, noticing the cut on her forearm MudBlood It was pouring with blood as she screamed. He remembered the day at the manor. He remembered hearing her screams of agony. He remembered hearing his Auntie torture her. remembered throwing up, the screams filling his ears. He had to listen to his auntie brag afterwards. That had been enough to make tears sting his eyes. He'd been crucio'd once before, and the pain was unbearable. He wanted to die. He couldn't begin to imagine having that agonising pain X10 as well as having MudBlood Carved into his arm. That cut would never heal. It wouldn't even scar. It would always look how it did when his auntie had first carved it.

"Hermione it's okay. She's gone. She can't hurt you." He pulled her into a hug, she stopped screaming after a minute. The crying stopped after another two and he realised she was awake. "Did I wake you?" She whispered. "I was already awake." She shook her head, her hair stroking his face as she looked up, "I know you're lying. I'm sorry I woke you, I must've forgotten to Silencio the door." He stopped hugging her and looked at her for a moment, "You mean you have these every night?" She turned away before whispering her reply, "Yes" He stood up before explaining what he was doing noticing her worried expression, "We need to get your arm cleaned up." She pointed to the set of draws beside her bed, he looked through each one, making note of what they contained.

The third one down was filled with medical supplies including a needle. "Have you tried stitching it?" She nodded, "It doesn't work. They sink into the cut and i have to use the needle to fish them out" Draco could only imagine how painful that must be. He sat next to her on the bed, laying her down and holding her arm, and carefully wiped away the blood, "You have to spray the wound so it doesn't get infected." He searched through the drawer pulling out a bottle of green liquid. He measured out the bandage ready to put it on straight after he'd sprayed to minimize the chance of infection.

"How many sprays?" she held up three fingers and he held out his hand for support. She took it, which he regretted the second he sprayed the green liquid onto her cut. She screamed out in pain and squeezed his hand hard. He heard cracking as he sprayed twice more and clamped the bandage down.

"I'm so sorry." She said softly. "It'll heal" He said looking down at his hand, which he suspected was broken in more than three places. "Please stay with me Draco? I promise I won't scream again." He nodded before climbing in bed beside her, "Good because i don't think my ears could take it." He joked but not of them laughed. The moment was too intense. He kissed her forehead as he lay down clutching his broken hand. "Night Draco." He smiled to himself. "Goodnight Hermione."

"What the fuck is going on here?!" Ginny shouted, waking up both the Gryffindor and the Slytherin. Harry stood beside her wand raised "I second that!" Draco looked around the room before realising where his broken hand was. He quickly removed his hand from Hermione's breast "I am so, so, sorry. That was an accident. Please don't hit me!"

He pleaded edging away from her until she smiled, "I think I did enough damage last night" He laughed until Ginny cut into the conversation "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! YOU GUYS HAD SEX?!" She fainted, Harry managed to catch her last second - glaring at Draco. "We did not have sex. She had a nightmare, I helped her out - she broke my hand in multiple places, I stayed with her just in case."

Harry looked at Hermione sympathetically, "Bellatrix?" He asked his voice now soft and full of warmth. She nodded slowly - teary eyed. He ran over to her side of the bed - dropping Ginny in the process and pulled her into a hug. "You should Probably get some clothes on." Draco nodded in agreement climbing out of bed and falling flat on his face "DAMN JEANS!" He shouted.

AN: Didn't want to make it too angsty - so I ended it on, what i thought was, a lighter note.
