Author's Note:
Thanks for reviewing, guys!
Sorry for the late update, we had our mid-quarter exam so I can't do the story.
Chapter 4
The moon shined and it lighten up the whole room and Hermione was still cleaning potion bottles when she asked Draco saying, "Are mudbloods and purebloods could never be together?" She looked at Draco after saying it.
"Of course, they shouldn't be—"Draco was cut off when he saw Hermione's expression changed, she looked at Draco with lonely, hopeless and lifeless eyes. He regret saying all those things. "I think they can be together. That's why there are halfbloods, look at Professor Snape, he's a good wizard, r-right?" Draco gulped as he stated it. But it didn't changed her aura it was like there was no life existing in her very soul and she looks like the most fragile object in the whole world, one touch and she would break-apart. He moved uncomfortably and he accidentally bumped into a table and a book fell it opened the back of the cover, when he picked it up he saw a name written on a black ink and as a thin script. "Hermione Jean?" Draco asked.
"What do you mean by Hermione Jean?" Hermione asked back. She need to because she didn't want him to know the truth.
"Your complete name is Hermione Jean Granger?"
"I—Yes." Hermione said.
"Familiar. I think I heard it somewhere?"
"Really? Well, I don't think so. Maybe, when they sorted me."
"Maybe." Draco said.
"It's a bit a late, we need go." Hermione said to keep him from knowing the truth. "We don't have practice tomorrow because I promised Ron I will watch at his Quidditch practice. So, yeah.
"Okay, good."
"Good bye." Hermione said with a small smile plastered in her face. Draco just nod.

He can't sleep, he's sure he is wide-awake. Draco was still thinking of what happened earlier, Granger was acting a bit odd and plus, her eyes were so weak. He was staring blankly on the wide deep green ceiling. It makes no sense, nothing would happen if he just stare blankly at the ceiling, he needs sleep.
Hours later, it was already midnight but Draco still can't sleep, he can't take it. Hermione keeps flashing on his thought. He finally surrendered, he stood up and grab his robes, then snick out of the common room. He kept on walking until he reached it. It stood before him, the door to the room, to The Room of Requirements. The huge door opened, and Draco eventually felt peace. He saw a King size bed in the room and the walls look like they were real stars. He lay down calmly on the soft bed and then a music played from a far.
"Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight"
The song said, it was so gentle and soft that made Draco sleepy, easily.
"For you know, once even I
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep for fears
And to give a kiss goodnight"
He felt his eyelids become heavy. He tried to fight his sleepiness but he can't.
"Well, now I am grown
And these days have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close"
A thought flashed before he fully fell asleep.

The strong rain tumble down their roof, and lightning came as well as the thunder crashed. He tightened his hold on his thick blanket to lessen its noise. Thunder clapped and it made him jumped, not noticing the tears streaming down his pale frightened face. Suddenly a pale man with long silver hair came, it was Lucius Malfoy, and little Draco rushed to his father and hugged his legs. Lucius carried him and lay him into bed. He cast a silencing spell around the room. He sat on the corner of the bed and he sang to him.
"Little child, be not afraid. Though thunder explodes and lightning flash, Illuminates your tear-stained face, I am here tonight.
Little child, be not afraid.
Though storm clouds mask your beloved moon
and its candlelight beams, still keep pleasant dreams.
I am here tonight.
And I hope that you'll know...
Everything's fine in the morning,
the rain'll be gone in the morning,
but I'll still be here in the morning."
He sang beautifully to Draco that made him stop from crying. Every time a strong thunder will clap he would be there, every time, but everything changes through time.

The time has come for Draco to come to Hogwarts and Narcissa was very proud of him, she told him everything about Hogwarts and how it works, but Lucius was not satisfied with it, he wanted Draco to study in Durmstrang Institute to keep him away from the influence of mudbloods, but his desire failed. He tapped Draco with his walking stick and said, "Don't you dare make friends with mudbloods, don't dare make our name filthy as them. Remember Draco we our Purebloods, we are superiors." Lucius said, harshly and Draco had no choice but to agree, but his father was right, they're superiors. "Yes, father." After that, he came to his mother and kiss her goodbye and then he flee to Hogwart's train.
When he entered the train, he accidentally bumped into a bushy-haired girl, it was so odd for Draco to find her the most adorable girl. "Uh—huh" Draco said.
"Oh! Hi. I'm Hermione Granger, and you are?" She said with a friendly and excited tone.
"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy." he replied.
"You're a Malfoy?" She said, surprised.
"Yes?" Draco said.
"Nice meeting you by the way, I have to leave."
"Wait—" But she was already gone.
