Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and signalled for Snape to sit down, he took a seat next to Draco and patted his arm reassuringly. “So Professor, what is the plan?”
“I think that Mr Malfoy should be moved to the separate accommodation that is sometimes used for the Head boy and girl for his own personal safety, I will contact Remus later this evening and let him know what the plans are, as for yourself Severus you will need to be even more careful around Voldermort, we can not have him finding out about Draco. As for you Miss Granger, I applaud you in doing this, tonight you have shown a very high level of acceptance and have managed to help a young man who is in severe need for help but if you are to be seen around together, it would be advisable to pass it off as partners for homework or something” Dumbledore said seriously.
“I can take care of that Professor, I will put the class into groups tomorrow and make sure Miss Granger and Mr Malfoy are together”
Draco sat studying Snape curiously, never once had he thought about he was working for the other side, it was nice to know he was not alone. Snape looked at him questiongly before he spoke “I didn’t know you were on the other side Professor, I always thought you supported the dark lords plan”
“I have never been on his side it has been a pretence well at least since before the dark lords fall, I am so sorry Draco that this happened to you. I have stood aside watching so many horrible things, one of the worst was the night I saw Lucius holding you down while the mark was burned on to your skin, can you ever forgive me?” Snape asked.
“Yes of course, you couldn’t do anything if you had they would have killed you” Draco smiled softly.
“Severus would you take Draco to his new room, I will make sure your belongings are moved for the morning. Miss Granger may I have a word?” Dumbledore asked as Hermione nodded at him.
As Draco stood up he threw a look at Hermione, a look of longing passed between them before he walked out. Hermione turned towards Dumbledore “What would you like to speak to me about Sir?”
He leaned forward onto the desk “He is going to need all the help he can get Miss Granger and I know you will be capable of that. You will need to speak to Harry and Mr Weasley, they will not be as accepting as you have been but they will come around”
She nodded “Of course, I will help Draco in everyway I possibly can, I care about him, more so than I thought”
He looked at her carefully, knowing much more about what would transpire between the pair but not wanting to give to much away “I understand Miss Granger, before you go I would like to give you a piece of advice, don’t be afraid when it comes to Draco, the boy cares about you more than he knows and will never hurt you”
She nodded confused at his advice but then it was Dumbledore, his advice always had meaning behind it even if you didn’t understand it straight away. She stood up to leave, she would speak to Ron and Harry tonight, she was determined to make them understand, as she got to the door Dumbledore spoke “Oh and Miss Granger, Draco’s password is Angel” she smiled widely as she acknowledged him and skipped off down the stairs to her common room.
Heading into the Gryffindor common room she took a deep breath before finding Harry and Ron sitting on the couch in front of the fire. Ron looked up and saw her before jumping to his feet “Bloody hell Hermione, where did you go? We were getting worried”
“Something happened with Malfoy tonight” she said quietly.
Ron whipped out his wand “What did he do to you? I will seriously hurt him”
“Oh Ron sit down and behave” she scolded, giving him a fierce look he took a seat “It’s not what you think, I came across him in the bathroom tonight, Harry your right he does have the dark mark but its not his choice. He wants to help us, I took him to Dumbledore, he wants us to help him”
“WHAT???” Harry yelled “Help him….never, I need to talk to Dumbledore. This is all a ploy to spy on the order”
Hermione could feel anger boiling inside of her “That is not true Harry, you didn’t see him alright! He was so lost”
The two boys snorted in laughter “Haha Malfoy lost…Hermione he is playing with you” Ron laughed.
“SCREW YOU” she screamed at the pair, they looked at her in alarm “You have no idea what your talking about, I saw him, he asked me for help. Does that sound like the Malfoy you know? No it doesn’t and I for one am not going to turn my back on him, he asked for help and I’m going to give it to him”
She moved towards the exit of the common room, she needed to get away from them just now, it was unbelievable…ok maybe Draco had done some shitty things in the past but they couldn’t let that go. “Hermione, where are you going?” Harry asked softly behind her.
She turned to look at them, the disappointment shining in her eyes “I need to get out of here just now, maybe when I get back you will be a bit more receptive. Please for me?”
Harry looked thoughtful while Ron shook his head violently “No way Hermione, as far as we are concerned he has made his bed and now he has to lie in it”
She shook her head in disgust and walked out to the corridor, fortunaly as a prefect she could walk the halls without worrying about being caught. She began to walk with no real direction pondering over the nights events…the feeling’s he had set off in her when they had kissed were magical, Christ what was she doing thinking about Draco Malfoy that way? She knew the answer straight away, she had always secretly liked him but he would never give her the time of day.
Before she knew it she was in front of the room Draco had been put in… she looked around in confusion, how had she ended up here? Should she go in and check on him or just go back to the common room, she stood for a few minutes fighting internally about what to do when she realized that she really was the only person he had right now who he could talk to. She decided to just go for it and see if he was alright “Angel” she whispered as the door opened for her. Her heart fluttered and she suddenly felt nervous. Taking a step inside she made her way to the common room, it was dark apart from a fire burning, narrowing her eyes she realized that Draco was sitting in front of it on the floor, just staring into the flames. She walked over to him quietly and laid her hand on his shoulder.
He jumped to his feet grabbing her arms, his eyes frantic with fear until he realized who it was in his arms. He visibly relaxed “Jesus, you gave me a fright, I didn’t hear you come in”
She smiled apologetically while taking in his appearance, he looked shattered as though he had been going without sleep for weeks, his eyes were bright red through crying but even with all this he was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you, I just wanted to see if you were ok. I can go if you like”
He took a seat in front of the fire again and patted the seat next to him “No please stay Hermione”
She smiled at his use of her name and took a seat next to him “Are you ok Draco?”
He sighed heavily “I hope so, I guess I am still worried that there going to come after me, I mean I cant stay here all the time, plus what about my mother? I know she doesn’t want to stay with the death eaters”
Hermione studied him in the light of the fire and reached over to take his hand “It will be alright now, no-one is going to come after you while you’re here and for the times your not here I promise you will not be on your own, as for your mother talk to Snape or Dumbledore maybe they can help”
He smiled at her and raised her hand to his mouth, he kissed the back of it causing a shiver to run through her “I won’t be on my own, does that mean your staying with me?” he gave her a cheeky wink causing her to chuckle “But seriously, thank you for tonight Hermione, there’s not many people who would have helped me like you did”
“It’s fine Draco, I’m glad I was able to help you”
They sat staring at one another for a few minutes before he asked “So not that I mind but what are you doing here?”
She blushed “I had to get out of my common room. I told Harry and Ron, I think Harry will come around but Ron is being stubborn. It really annoyed me and I had to get out and somehow I ended up here”
Draco leaned forward slightly and touched her cheek softly “I can understand their problem, lets be honest I have been a right bastard to them, they will hardly want to help me however I have to thank Scar head and Weasel bee because they sent you to me”
His fingers traced a pattern on her cheek and she leaned into his embrace watching him carefully, a number of emotions running through his grey eyes…fear, confusion, satisfaction and one that looked like Love…nah that was wishful thinking on her part she told herself. “Draco I….” she began to say.
His fingers traced her lips prompting her to stop “Shh Hermione, you don’t need to say anything” he stared into her eyes a little longer before whispering “What is this pull I feel to you? I have felt it the moment I met you”
She looked at him in surprise “I feel it to, always have” she looked at him quickly before leaning towards him and pressing her lips to his. She felt the hand on her cheek continue to stroke her cheek until it moved into her hair pulling her closer to him. Their lips moved in synch as his tongue ran across her bottom lip, she opened her mouth and let him in. She wrapped her arms around his neck as his free one wound its way round his waist, she let him press her to the floor so she was underneath him, her hands slowly moved down his back, resting on his hips.
He pulled back suddenly and looked down at her “I don’t understand what is going on here but I want you to know that I will never let anything hurt you Hermione. This is going to get messy, Voldermort will know I have defected and if anyone knows about my feelings for you they will come after you but I would die before anything happens to you”
She looked at him shyly “You have feelings for me?”
“Yes you silly girl, all the teasing was me trying to hide how I felt about you”
“I thought you hated me, especially when you called me a mud blood”
He looked away in shame “I apologized for that tonight, I am sorry for ever saying that but I was having to keep up appearances” He moved off her and lay on his back, she rolled onto her side and wrapped an arm around his waist “Am I strong enough to do this?”
Balancing on her free arm she looked at him “You are strong enough Draco, you proved that tonight just by asking for help. If you weren’t you would have attacked me in the bathroom this evening. However you need to talk about your feelings, get it all out, the more you bottle the harder this will become. You have made the right decision though, moving to the right side”
“I know, I still feel like a traitor though. My father brought me up to think all muggleborns and half bloods are inferior and should not be allowed to be part of our world. I can honestly say I believed this right up until our first year when I saw a pretty witch running up and down the carriages asking about some boy Neville’s toad. Obviously I didn’t know you were a muggleborn then and the moment I found out, I began to re-evaluate all my father had taught me especially when I saw how intelligent you were. That Christmas I spoke back to my father about how his beliefs were wrong, god he made me regret that, he broke my wrist by sending me flying into a wall, I had never seen my mother so upset, this was when she admitted to me that she felt the same way as me, her sister had married a muggle and was turned away by her family. My father told my mother she could never speak to her again and tried to poison her mind with his rubbish, fortunaly she never actually listened to him, that’s why I want to help her, she deserves a second chance…my father on the other hand I think is to far gone. Since that day on the train, I have watched you grow more and more beautiful Hermione, so many times I wanted to break down my barriers and come talk to you but then you started to hang around with Potter and Weasley, I was so jealous I felt the need to be nasty… I am so sorry, I never meant any of it”
He looked up at her to see tears falling down her cheeks “Oh Draco, I never knew you felt like that. I am sorry for the way I treated you”
He smiled at her “You don’t need to apologize and you’re the only one who knows any of this”
“I promise not to say anything”
“I know you wont” he yawned suddenly.
Hermione looked at him once again thinking how tired he looked “Are you sleepy? You look tired” She sat up and grabbed a couple of pillows and a throw that was on the couch and arranged them around their bodies.
“I haven’t been able to sleep since I got my dark mark but suddenly I feel tired” he yawned again.
She stroked his hair “Go to sleep then, I will be here in the morning”
He looked at her with fear in his eyes “Do you promise to be here tomorrow?”
“I will be here always…. I promise I wont leave you” she continued to stroke his hair as he fell asleep before whispering softly “I will never leave you, I love you” Damn Granger your in deep she thought, but she couldn’t care less….she was in love.
A/N Again I know this moving pretty fast but these two really do care for one another and there is underlying feelings from both that have never been shown before.
