Hermione's POV

" 'ten high-security prisoners, in the early hours of yesterday evening escaped, and of course the muggle prime minister has been alerted to the danger we strongly suspect that the breakout was engineered by a man with personal experience of escaping from Azkaban. Notorious mass murderer, Sirius Black. Cousin of the escapee Bellatrix Lestrange' "

Theo was reading today's daily prophet and there were a few things I'm going to say about it.

One. I know Sirius Black had nothing to do with it because someone mentioned his name last night and I had a vision of what he was doing at that time; drinking tea in his house

Two. he absolutely loathes Bellatrix Lestrange and certainly would not help her escape

"that's utter bull Theo, Draco are you ok?" he rushed out of the great hall

I remembered what he said about his aunt before 'she's a crazy woman, I'm ashamed to call her my aunt, I'm glad she's in that hellhole'

"I forgot..."

I followed him out of the room, knowing I'm one of the few people able to calm him down. He walked into the boy's bathroom; I was hesitant to go in until I heard some kind of glass smash

"Draco? Are you ok..."

the mirror was smashed and he was sitting on the floor, there wasn't a trace of tears but there was anger and distress written all over his face, his hand was bloody and had shards of glass in it

"Draco... let me heal it?" I sat beside him, slowly reaching for his injured hand and successfully retrieving it without him flinching away "you don't know she's going to come back to you Draco..." I whispered, using my wand to clean up the blood

"yes, I do. She always comes back to my mother, she's a crazy witch but sentimental when it comes to family"

"she wouldn't hurt you though, would she?" he shook his head in no as I started pulling some of the glass from his knuckles

"I just... I really, really can't stand her. I cant have her around me, im scared"

"scared she would hurt you?"

"no... scared I'm gonna end up like her" I wrapped his hand in a bandage I had conjured, I haven't learnt how to heal wounds like this just yet

"listen Draco" I reached my hand up to his cheek so he would look at me "you will never be like her, you will never be some crazy death eater because you are Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Prince, you don't answer to anyone and no one can tell you what to do nor who to be, because that's not who you are" his face looked almost as innocent as a child in pain

"I love you"

"I love you"

I moved my sitting position onto his lap and kissed him gently, smiling faintly

*

"I'll make short work of this. Bombarda Maxima" the whole wall blew up

Umbridge had called us for an 'emergency meeting' turns out she just wanted to be a sadistic bimbo and blow up the room

"get them!"

everyone started to grab and push people out of the rubble, pulling them out of the room and to the DADA classroom to receive their punishment immediately
