"How could you say that?" Hermione said, a stern look taking over her face. She didn't want to put off the person who had offered her help and shelter after she had been left pretty badly burned and in the snow, which had frost bitten every inch of her skin that the book hadn't charred.
Moody looked her up and down "How could I say that? Dear girl I have been puttin' wizards and witches in Azkaban since before you wer' bern" he said his exaggeration of his O's and R's prevelant as he became annoyed "And if I know one thing it's that death eaters are nothing but bloody thirsty killing machines"
"You've got it all wrong" Hermione pleaded "Draco can be an insufferable pervert with a dark sense of humor but he never means to hurt anyone". A shiver ran up her spine as she said those words; the image of Draco defiling her so pleasurably making it's way into her brain "At least not within reason".
Moody chuckled "Oh girl, I can sense your aura you know. It's all over the place." He touched her forehead "You're at crossroads"
"Damn straight I am at a crossroad!" Hermione snapped pulling away from him "I have the choice to either hunt down an Amulet that I may or may not find, while Draco is being killed or hunt for Draco putting my own safety to the side. I love Draco, but I don't know what to do!"
"If you really loved that git, the thought of the crystal never woulda even entered yer' pretty little mind!"
Hermione looked up at him. He was right. If she really loved Draco, she would drop everything and run to save him. Tears began to sting at her eyes. Why was she always crying so much? Oh yes. She hadn't had a comfortable day since her parents died and she was very nearly disected.
Moody gave Hermione a pitied look "Sometimes the mind can outweigh the heart you know. And it wouldn't surprise me if a witch as headstrong as you would let herself outthink herself out of truly falling in love"
"But I do love Draco"
"But are you in love with him?" Hermione could see why he had the nickname old mad eye as the out of place eye seemed to stare directly into her soul
"Wh-What's the difference?" Hermione stuttered
"Love is natural, it's what keeps people in packs and safe among one another. Yet love can be so easily abandoned if the circumstances fall wrong" Moody's tone changed with that sentence almost melancholicly
"What do you mean?"
"Being in love is when you put others before yourself not just as stepping stones to help you achieve what you want"
"But I would have given anything to save my parents. Does that mean I am in love with them?" Hermione tried not to smile triumphantly
"Yes" Moody said "Being in love has such a negative connotation nowadays. Back when I wer' a young lad, you could be in love with anything. Mayble it's different in the muggle world. But here, in our world, love and being in love are vastly different"
Hermione tried to speak but was cut off
"Wizards are catching on though. I have lived long enough to see a younger generation of wizards hit on young witches for weeks, before saying they love them just to sleep wit em' and vice versa."
"OKay this is great and all Alastare, but it is kind of important that we find Draco!" Hermione nearly shouted
"Looks like the brightest witch of her age can think with her heart" Moody smirked at her. And he was right. Without even thinking about it, Hermione chose Draco. Not the crystal, but Draco Malfoy. The young boy who bullied her relentlessly during childhood, and made her feel awful about herself. This was the boy who she was about to risk everything for.
"Well we oughta be going if we want to find him soon" Moody stated pushing himself up from his chair
"But Alastare you can barely walk, and how would you even know where to go?"
"I have that covered" Moody winked and staggered into his kitchen "I just have a quick call to make first".

Draco's body hung limply from a blackened brick wall. He opened his eyes to a cold dark room illuminated by only a fire in the middle of it, and Ron Weasley standing about 4 inches from his face.
"So sleeping beauty has woken up" The redheaded wizard teased as he poked one of Draco's wounds causing him to flinch.
"Fuck....o-....fff" Draco tried to say
"Now that's not very nice" Ron smirked
Draco could feel pain from every inch of his body. His eye throbbed and there was blood running from his nose. There were scrapes around his entire body and he could feel his right shoulder was dislocated and atleast a few ribs were broken.
"Well you and your little witch sure do know how to kill a mood" Ron hummed "So I guess I am going to have to have a change of plans. No doubt Hermione will come looking for you, and given she has the right help she will find you. However, by the time she gets here you will just be alive enough to watch your beloved witch be killed"
Draco coughed, blood flew from his mouth mixed with spit and mucus. "Leave her alone"
"Oh Draco Malfoy. The toughest wizard around. Has all his little lackeys to back him up. Now look at him. Chained to a wall because the witch he loves didn't have the courage to take her torture like a man, and spare you. Guess the feeling of love isn't all that mutual" Ron shot Draco a fake pout
"Shut... shut... shut up, weasle-bee. You're just sour because you'll never know what it feel like to have Her-Hermione love-ya-you"
"Oh save it" Ron said "Hermione doesn't know how to love, all she knows how to do is think, and considering the fact she is in this situation at all shows how inadequate she can be at that"
"She is smarter than you will ever be"
"Shut it!" Ron snapped and faced the dangling blond wizard, almost lifelessly swaying before him
"You knew you could never best Hermione, that's why you're doing this. Because you could never admit defeat to someone who you don't see as pure as you."
"Crucio!" Ron yelled and sent Draco sputtering with his words and his body vibrating with pain
Draco spat out more blood, tears beginning to stream down his face but he still continued "Your family always tried to act so much better than mine. But you always had the same morals.You always just pretended to be Hermione's friend, because she was the only one who would stand to be around your pathetic ass!"
"Stupefy!" Ron screamed and draco's head shot painfully against the wall behind him as he lost consciousness
*******
It had been atleast 30 minutes. And Moody had been in the kitchen alone with someone for 30 minutes. He made a call, the doorbell rang, and then Moody shut the door to the kitchen leaving Hermione in the dark on who he called.
She was beginning to pace. She could feel that Draco was still alive but she wanted so desperately to be with him. Her face burned. She was in love with him.
Moody finally opened the kitchen door and Hermione's jaw just about dropped. It was Harry Potter.
Harry looked like a bloody mess. His hair was in every direction, his eyes seemed shallow and his lips with crusted with dead skin.
Before Hermione could even say anything Harry wrapped her up into a hug. "I'm so sorry Hermione. I'm so sorry I didn't believe you. Ginny told me you were crazy and I believed my ex-wife"
"Ex-wife?" Hermione said
"We divorced after I found her journal entries about her and her pureblood friends trying to kill all mudbloods. Ron was the leader. I should've believed you. I should-
"It's okay Harry" Hermione said "But if you really want to make it up to me, I need you to help me find Draco"
"What do you see in him" Harry scoffed forgetting for a moment the situation he was in
"I could ask that about Ginny, but Draco has been nothing but helpful to me since I have been stuck in this mess"
"Alright. Fine. When we save the git, I am sure he can enlighten me on how wonderful he is he always seemed to have a fine talent for that-Ow!" Harry yelped as Hermione punched him
"Do you even know where to go?" Hermione asked impatiently
"Yes, but you're probably not going to like it"
