***Hello everyone! I am sorry id didn't gave you an update yesterday but I had some work to do. I hope you like the chapter!

''Stay out of this Blaise, it does not concern you.'' Draco said, stood up and sat at his bed

Blaise looked at him angry ''I thought you loved her Draco. You were happy with her. You told me that with Hermione you felt free. You told me that you would sacrifice everything for her happiness. How can you now tell her that she was nothing to you but a game? How can you break her heart like this when the only thing Hermione has done is to offer you happiness?'' Blaise said while shaking from anger

''You don't understand Blaise. Leave me alone'' Draco said and looked down

''Then please make me understand. Tell me what happened Draco.'' Blaise said and looked at his friend

Draco took a deep breath ''I had to do it. I couldn't stand seeing her in pain and then killed. I know it's selfish but I couldn't. He would have killed the Granger's first and then Hermione.'' Draco said and tears started streaming down his face

Blaise kneeled down ''Draco, please tell me that he doesn't know about-''

''Yes he knows Blaise. Voldemort knows about me and Hermione. He had a spy follow my every move and he learned that I was with Hermione. '' Draco said and looked desperate at his friend

''Draco you have to speak to Snape. He is the only one who can help you right now.'' Blaise said and sat beside his friend

''Blaise, I love Hermione. I don't want her to get hurt. I can't bear to lose her. At least now I see Hermione and I know that she is alive. I can't do anything else.'' Draco said and put his head to his hands.

Blaise put his hand to Draco's arm and said ''I will help you mate. I promise. I will find a way to help you''

''I don't know if you can Blaise. I have destroyed everything I had. Hermione was the only person who could make me feel in paradise and not in hell. She was my light. I destroyed her. The only thing she will want to do now is to forget me forever.'' Draco said and shook his head

''Draco, Hermione is not like that. Hermione loves you very much'' Blaise said and pat his friend at his back.

''I hate all this Blaise! Why couldn't we be normal teens? Why do we have to live in pain. In a war we never chose. Why do we have to choose sides? Why?'' Draco said while looking at Blaise with tears streaming down his face.

''I don't know Draco. I really don't. The only thing I want to do is to forget all this. I just want to leave peacefully but if Voldemort don't die then no one will leave in peace anymore.'' Blaise said and looked at the floor.

Meanwhile at the Gryffindor common room and up to the dorm Hermione was sitting at her bed watching outside while playing with the ring in her hand. She wanted to take it off but she couldn't. Better she didn't want to. Deep down she knew that Draco didn't mean any of the words he said. He was looking pale and hurt and she knew that he loved her deeply as Hermione loved him back. Tears started to roll down her cheeks again. Suddenly someone knocked and Hermione whipped her tears.

''Come in'' she said and looked at the door. When the figure walked inside ''Dad'' Hermione whispered and gave him a small sad smile

Severus sat at her bed and caressed her cheek ''How are you feeling?''

Hermione closed her eyes leaned to her father's touch ''I will be fine daddy, don't worry'' she said and opened her eyes and looked at him.

''Tell me what happened Hermione'' Severus said and Hermione started to explain to her father what had happened the previous night at the Room of Requirement.

Severus whipped his daughter's tears.'' Oh sweetheart.'' He said and hugged Hermione

When they pulled apart Hermione said ''But dad, deep down I feel like Draco never meant what he said. He always said that he loved me. He even gave me a ring with protecting charms. I just can't believe so easy that all these things were a game. I just can't'' Hermione said and took a deep breath and looked at her father.

''Maybe you are right. I can't believe that Draco would do something like that without a reason. I know that he loved you deeply. I could see it in his eyes.'' Severus said and again caressed his daughter cheek. ''You want me to go and talk with Draco?'' he asked Hermione

''No daddy, you don't need to. I hope everything turns back to normal soon.'' Hermione said and hugged her father tight. Severus kissed her head and after a while when he felt that Hermione had fallen asleep he leaned her head to the pillow, kissed her again and left her to sleep. He walked downstairs to the common room and saw that Harry and Ron had yet to go to sleep. He coughed and the two boys stood up immediately. ''She has fallen asleep. Take care of her.'' He said and when Harry and Ron nodded he said ''Goodnight'' and left

Harry and Ron sat again at the couches and looked at the fire. No one was speaking. But Ron broke the silence ''You think that we should go and check on her?'' he asked Harry

''No, let her sleep. We will see her tomorrow. Let's go to sleep as well.'' Harry said and the two walked up to their dorm to sleep. However neither one of them slept that night. They wanted to make sure that if Hermione woke up she would have someone beside her.

Meanwhile at the Slytherin dorms, Draco was laying at his bed while looking at the ceiling. He couldn't sleep. When he was closing his eyes he was seeing Hermione laughing. A single tear fell from his eyes and he closed them and opened them again. He sighed and turned around to the other side of the bed. He was silently praying for Hermione to realize the truth and forgive him for those things he said to her.
