***Hello everyone! Wow it's good to be free. I had a hell of a day today. So many studies. I started at 8:00 in the morning and now it's 10:00 in the night. I am not going to say anything else. I will leave you to he chapter! Love you all! Bye! :)

Meanwhile at the Malfoy Manor, Draco was sitting at his bedroom and he was waiting for the Dark Lord to call him. He hadn't slept all night. He didn't know why he would be called. Snape had told him that Voldemort was happy with his work at Hogwarts. He remembered the previous night when he had come back from the day with Hermione when both Lucius and Voldemort had used the cruciatus curse on him. He didn't know why he was punished but Draco guessed that today he would learn the reason. That's why he couldn't really sleep. The effects of the cruciatus curse on his body didn't help him to relax and sleep. Suddenly a knock was heard and Narcissa Malfoy walked in the room. ''The Dark Lord has requested your presence'' she said and walked out of the room followed by the Draco. When they arrived at Lucius study, Narcissa knocked and when Voldemort called 'Enter' they walked inside.

Voldemort stood up and Draco bowed. It was always like that. Voldemort walked around him and moved his wand and Draco kneeled down by some force.

''It has come to my attention that you are in relationship. But the girl is unacceptable.'' Voldemort said and looked at Draco with a cold stare. He then turned to Lucius and said ''Did you know Lucius that your son is running behind a mudblood?'' Voldemort said and Lucius looked angry while Draco gasped and widened his eyes. His only thought was about how Voldemort learned about Hermione.

''My Lord may I?'' Lucius said and Voldemort nodded. Lucius took out his wand and looked at Draco ''Crucio'' he yelled and Draco started to shake on the floor but he didn't scream. He couldn't show them weakness. After few more seconds Lucius lifted the curse and kicked Draco ''How could you do something like this Draco? How dare you even touch a mudblood Draco?'' Lucius yelled but was stopped by Voldemort

''I will say this only once and you have to decide very quickly boy. You are going to break up with the mudblood or I will kill her and her pathetic excuse of parents. Imagine how amazing would be tosee them tortured and killed Draco. Imagine how your stupid mudblood would scream for mercy for her parents. How she would scream for me to not hurt them. So I will ask you Draco. What do you prefer? Do you want me to kill her and her parents or do you prefer to break up with her?'' Voldemort asked with hid cold glare.

Draco took a deep breath he said without even thinking ''I will break with her my Lord. Pease just don't hurt her'' Draco said and bowed

Voldemort smirked and said ''Very well Draco. I will want to hear from my spy that the mudblood is heartbroken. Am I clear?'' He asked Draco who was hardly holding his tears back

''Yes my Lord'' Draco said

''Very well you may leave now'' Voldemort said and Draco left.

When Draco walked inside his room, he went and sat at his bed. He put wards to the door and looked out of the window. His thoughts drifted of to Hermione. Memories of this year with her came rushing into his mind. He remembered the day when she found him nearly unconscious and helped him towards the Hospital Wing. He remembered how he was hearing her voice. He remembered when Dolohov had cursed her but he remembered and how he and Severus had taken care of him few weeks later. He closed his eyes and came back to reality. He opened them again and looked at the moon and the stars. It was not full moon but it was near it. He thought of her smile. And he remembered when he had made her laugh. Her laugh was melodic like nothing he had ever heard in his life. But her touch was the best thing. Hermione could make him relax only with her touch. He remembered how many times, he had fallen asleep in her arms while she was caressing his hair. He sighed. How could he tell her that he wanted to break up with her? How would he do something like this? He was in love with her. He couldn't just go in front of her and say 'we are through'. But if he didn't he would be forced to see her pain. He would be forced to see her tears, to hear her screams. He knew that Voldemort would kill her and her parents if he didn't do what he was told to do. He knew that the Grangers weren't her real parents but that didn't change that she had grown up with them and that she loved them. What would he do? Would it be better if he talked to either Severus or Dumbledore about this? But what if Voldemort learned that he had talked to someone? Then Draco was sure that Voldemort would kill Hermione without hesitation. He sighed again. How could someone know that he was with Hermione? Who could be the secret spy who knew his moves? He looked once again out of his window and saw the dark sky shining by the moon's light. It was the only thing that made him smile inside the darkness of the Malfoy Manor. He would every night look out of his window to see the light of the moon and that made him realize that there is always light in the darkness.

After and hour he had decided. He would break up with Hermione. It was the only way to protect her. He had to do it for her. He just hoped that after all this he would be alive to tell her how much he loved her. If she accepted him back after all this. He drifted of to sleep with Hermione occupying his dreams.

No one had noticed a blonde woman outside of her son's bedroom. Narcissa Malfoy had seen the change at Draco. She was very glad that someone had managed to keep her son alive through all this. When she heard that a girl was the reason she was even happier. She didn't care that her name was Hermione Granger and that it was a muggleborn. The only thing she cared about was her son's happiness. When she heard what the Dark Lord requested from Draco her heart broke in million pieces for her son. She only wished that this girl will continue loving her son no matter what. She knew that Draco loved the girl. And she would make sure to let the girl know that if needed.
