Chapter 20

Hermione lay awake far into the night. There were too many thoughts and questions swirling in her mind to even attempt to close her eyes.

Why did they sleep at all? They were daywalkers, like the fictional vampires from the muggle book Twilight. Thank Merlin they didn't sparkle. She didn't think she could have handled that. The vampires in the book didn't sleep. But those vampires were entirely fictional.

Everything that she'd ever read about vampires pointed to the fact that they were creatures of the night. Was that supposed fact completely wrong? She really wanted to get her hands on a book so that she could learn more about what she'd become. It seemed dangerous to stay ignorant of the things she could or couldn't do.

The fact that she could now read the minds of those around her really threw her for a loop. She hadn't expected to be able to do anything out of the ordinary. She wondered if there was something that Draco could do that other vampires couldn't do.

She glanced at the blond sleeping beside her. She furrowed her eyebrows as she studied his features. He really was a handsome devil. She wanted to know more about him but he was so distant and aloof. She thought that it was probably a product of his upbringing. She hoped that maybe she could thaw his icy façade over time. Time was all she had now.

Her eyes traced the contours of his face as he slept on, blissfully unaware of her scrutiny. She wondered why she couldn't read his mind. His was the only magical mind that she hadn't been able to read. She wasn't sure if it was because she was mated to him or if it was because he was her maker. She wanted to know the circumstances of his own turning. She wanted to know who his maker was. Surely they were all tied together now.

She sighed as her thoughts turned to her friends. She would tell them Dumbledore's carefully constructed story, but she hated the fact that she had to lie. She didn't want to mislead her friends but it was too dangerous for them to know the truth. At least for now.

She could only imagine their reactions when she told them that she was tied to Malfoy. Ron probably wouldn't speak to her for weeks. Harry was a little more level-headed. She hoped that he could see sense.

She was also worried about her control. She hadn't been in a situation where she had to be without Draco there to stop her from hurting someone. She would never forgive herself if she hurt one of her friends.

She worried all night until dawn and was drawn from her musings only when Draco stretched and opened his eyes. He took one glance at her and she thought she saw his eyes soften as he regarded her.

"You didn't sleep, did you?" he asked.

She shook her head in response and looked at the wall across the room sullenly.

"Your afraid of what your friends will say?" he pressed.

"Not so much of what they'll say," she replied as she walked to the closet. She gathered her clothes and walked back into the main room. "It's more that I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself. I'm afraid that I'll hurt someone."

She stood there, trembling under his flinty gaze. She couldn't read him at all at this point. She was almost disappointed that she couldn't feel his emotions through their bond. She wondered why he could close himself off like that and she couldn't.

"Come here," he said finally.

She set her things down on the desk and walked slowly over to him. She sat on the bed next to him as he sat up. "You're very controlled for someone so new. You managed to feed and not kill for your first hunt."

"But," she argued weakly. "I wanted to kill him. He smelled so good…"

"Shhh…" he cut her off. He squeezed her shoulders gently. "As your maker, I command you not to feed from anyone within the grounds of Hogwarts."

Draco Malfoy may have been a prick and an asshole most of the time but at that moment, Hermione felt like she just might kiss him. Instead, she reigned herself in and replied with a quiet, "Thank you."

She smiled shyly and gathered her clothes before retreating to the bathroom to clean up. She shut the door, her emotions chaotic. She didn't know what to think of her maker/mate sometimes. How could someone who was so callous and cruel be so gentle and understanding? There was more to Malfoy than meets the eye.

She showered and dressed, having to alter her robes as they didn't quite fit properly any longer. She was going to have to get new clothes. She hadn't gotten much taller, but her figure had definitely changed. She had curves now that she didn't have before.

She left the bathroom and noted that Draco was already dressed. She felt warm under his gaze as he assessed her appearance. She noticed his eyes linger on certain spots.

"Nice work on transfiguring your robes," he complemented as he reached out and fingered her hair. "The next time we go hunting, we'll stop at Diagon Alley and I'll get you some new ones."

"That isn't necessary," she said as she stepped away from him. She spied her book bag in the corner. When did her things get here?

"Of course it is," he replied haughtily. "I'm responsible for you now. I will see to it that you have proper things."

Hermione could feel from the tension coming from him that it was no use arguing with him. He was as stubborn as her. She nodded her acceptance as he opened the door.

"After you," he said as he ushered her out the door.

She wlked down the hallway, side by side with Draco. She could do this. She had to.

End Note: So, any thoughts? It's good to see that Draco is not a complete asshat all the time. Leave me a review, lovelies, and I'll see you Tuesday.
