Hermione woke up the next morning, head pounding and her eyes sealed shut from crying. She was sweaty from bad dreams all night. She decided to take a shower. She put a silencing charm on her feet so she wouldn't wake up Draco when walking by him to get to the bathroom. She had fallen asleep with the time turner in her hand. It was still tight in her grasp as she made her way to the bathroom. When she walked past Draco, he was fast asleep in his bed, hair ruffled. He looked a right mess. If she hadn't known any better she would have said it looked like he had been crying the night before. She pushed the door softly until she heard it click. She went over to the mirror to examine herself. She looked bloody horrible. Her hair was beyond tangled and her face was swollen from crying. She looked like she was hungover. She looked down at the item in her hand, turning it over and examining it in her palm. Had Draco done this? As some sort of sick joke? There was no other logical explanation. No one knew where they were. They didn't even know where they were! She could feel anger bubbling up inside of her. She would have a word with Draco later. She just needed to clean up first. When Hermione turned around to the huge bathtub, she looked for some more muggle bath products but couldn't find any. Of course she wouldn't. A Malfoy had set this house up. She rummaged through the insane amount of potions in the cabinet beside the bath. She decided on detangling and smoothing potion, a moisturizing potion, a cleansing potion, and a rejuvenating potion. She drew a bath and put some oils in it, making the whole bathroom smell of honey. She quickly undressed and stuck one foot in, testing the water temperature. It felt nearly perfect so she put her whole body in. She laid in the water for what felt like half and hour and decided to put the potions on. She grabbed the cleansing potion and put it in her hair and then rubbed it on her body, automatically feeling the potion cleaning her skin and hair. She submerged into the water and came up when she was short of air. She dropped some of the detangling and smoothing potion into her open palm and sat the potion beside the tub. She then put the potion into her hair, running her fingers through it. It instantly was tangle free and felt silky. She picked up the moisturizing potion and put it into her hair and decided to rub it on her body as well. Her skin felt insanely smooth. She then picked up the rejuvenating potion and dropped some in her hands, then gently rubbed it on her face. She could feel the puffiness leave her eyes. She felt much better than before and somewhat relaxed. She stood up, grabbing her wand and saying a quick spell to drain the bath and then said a spell to dry herself off. She picked a silk robe off the wall by bath and put it on herself. The silk against her smooth skin felt amazing. She gathered her things in a quick pile and set them by the door. She walked to the sink to grab the time turner, remembering made her stomach hurt. She was starting to get mad again. When she got to the sink she turned to walk back to the door but something caught her eyes in the mirror. Her hair was curl free and there was no frizz to be found. It was quite long now that it wasn't curled up, coming down past the middle of her back. Her face was beautiful, looking almost like a doll. She wondered if she had grown up in a pureblood home, if she would have looked like this her whole life. Doll-like. She looked away. Hermione was not vain at all and usually didn't spend much time looking in the mirror. She tightened her grip on the time turner in her hand and grabbed her things. When she opened the door, Draco was not in his bed. She looked around the room and he was no where to be seen. She walked quickly over to the bedroom door and shut it, locking it with her wand. She went to the dresser and looked through her clothes. Somehow Narcissa had managed to get her clothes here so she put on a sweater and jeans.
Draco was in the kitchen, rummaging through the cabinet for something to eat. He did not know how to make much. He had always had a elf to do the cooking for him. He opened up a cabinet with a cooling charm inside of it and picked up a jar. He instantly recognized what was inside as pickles. He didn't much care for pickles but he was starving. He opened the jar with speed and ate a pickle very fast. He had woken up to the smell of honey wafting under the bathroom door and knew Hermione was taking a bath. He had slept in very late, considering the events of last night. He heard the bedroom door close a minute ago and could now hear it opening again. He heard Hermione's foot steps and busied himself with the cabinet. He felt bad about last night. He had hated Hermione his whole life, and it was because she had muggle parents. But she was a pureblood witch. He lashed out at her last night because he was so confused. He thought until this point he had hated her. But did he really hate her? Hermione hated him. That was for sure. His thoughts were cut short when Hermione came into the kitchen door way. He turned around to look at her but was startled. When he first saw her, she didn't look like Hermione at all. He could see now that it was indeed Hermione but she looked gorgeous. Her hair was long and had a slight wave to it. She didn't have makeup on but she was beautiful without it. Something was different.. He mentally slapped himself. Just because he knew Granger wasn't a mudblood anymore didn't mean they didn't despise each other. His eyes had only lingered on her for a total of about 3 seconds but hopefully she hadn't noticed he looked at her a little longer than he usually did. She looked like she had been furious when she waked in but now he saw something that wasnt anger.. Fear? Who knows. She looked lost in thought and then he saw recognition in her eyes once more, and the anger was back. She was holding something in her hand. Draco looked down to see what it was but Hermione had already chunked it at his face. He hadnt made a sound but it had hurt.
"Nice throw, Granger" he knew saying stuff like that riled her up. He could already see her getting angrier. He didnt know what made him want to make her more mad right now, but he couldnt stop himself sometimes, it wad like a instinct. He bent down and picked up what she had thrown, his eye throbbing. When he put the metal object in his hand, he didnt know what it was, or why Granger had thrown it at him.
"Dont act so confused Malfoy. Im not playing these silly games with you anymore. Why the hell would you leave something like that? What kind of sick joke is that? What are you even hinting at?" Draco had no idea what she was talking about. He was still observing the object in his hands. It was small compared to his big hands.
"What is it Granger? I'm not playing any games with you, I really dont know."
"It's a time turner. You have seen one before, have you not?"
Draco suddenly remembered have seeing an object like this but not knowing what it was at the time. But he had saw it around the Dark Lord's neck..
"Yes. I have actually, but I didnt know what it was. I didnt leave this for you. Where did you say you found this?"
"It was left for me at the door. I didn't see anyone outside. Only a package with my name on it."
Draco looked at the time turner. He didn't know if it looked similar to the one around the Dark Lord's neck. He didn't pay attention at the time. Did he know they were here? Fear suddenly rose up his throat and he could feel it strangling him, a hand around his neck. Draco was no match to him, especially with no wand. And if they ran, how far could they make it before they would catch them?
"Granger, you got this when?"
"Last night, why? What's wrong? Someone must know where we are but why would they leave a time turner-"
The rest of Granger's rambling was cut off by his own thoughts. Was that the wind he heard outside or was someone on the porch? Was he being paranoid?
"Granger, shut up for a second. Do you hear that? Listen, on the porch."
She was very silent, listening outside of the small house. She looked at Draco and nodded her head. What was he so scared about? Did he know something she didnt? She had tried to tell him about the person she had been seeing, but he hadn't wanted to listen to her.
"Cast a spell to silece our feet. Now." Draco whispered.
Hermione whispered a spell at their feet. Draco bent down and started walking towards the bedroom, and she followed him. Draco kept walking until he stopped in front of the bathroom door, and he looked back at Hermione to make sure she was still there.
"Shut the door silently behind you and lock it." Draco whispered. Hermione shut the door behind her and locked it, also casting a silencing charm on the room. She stood up straight.
"What's going on Malfoy?"
"Not now Granger. Get in the bathtub."
"What?! Tell me whats going on!"
Draco crossed the distance between them in no time at all and put his hand over her mouth. His hand was so big though, it covered the whole lower part of her face.
"Get in the bathtub, dont speak again." She nodded her head and pulled away. Walking to the bath and getting in it. Draco followed her into the bath and sat on the opposite side.
"Turn the light out."
"Nox."
She was awake for what felt like hours and hours. It had only been about one in the afternoon when she got out of the bath. Draco never laid down. Sometime during the night, or what felt like the night, she finally drifted off to sleep, nightmares following
