Stay By My Side ✅ (Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy)

Hatred

I decided that i wanted to try and do something different with this chapter... so I included a point of view from somebody other than Hermione and Draco. :)

And also, i can't believe that this story has reached almost 56k reads... that's just amazing and i am so grateful to everyone who shows support.

Hermione POV

“W-What do you…. Mean?” I couldn’t quite process what was happening. My eyes quickly scanned our surroundings in desperate search or something or someone, but nothing was there. The only people present in this corridor was Blaise and I. Of course, I left dinner early. Now I regret that so much. His grip tightens around my wrist causing me to flinch.

“I think you know exactly what I mean.” He tells me in a casual voice.

“But I didn’t do anything!” I cried. I considered screaming but I knew that outcome wouldn’t be a good one.

“Oh but you have. You and him have.” He slightly moved closer towards me as he spoke in a low voice.

“I’m sorry but this is…. This is between you and him. I want no part of it. I’ll do anything you want me to but please, just let me go and I won’t tell anybody about this.” Knowing that he was referring to Draco, there was a hint of fear in my voice but I couldn’t conceal it properly. Draco had warned me about Blaise, I remember it clearly. I thought nothing of it until now. And now I was a lot more scared than I was before. I don’t think the incident with Crabbe and Goyle can match up to this one. There was something about right now that paralysed me with fear. I knew that I was capable of breaking free from Blaise and making a run for it in this very moment, but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. All that I could see and focus on was Blaise’s dark eyes and twitching smile.

“Must be a slow day for you, Mudblood.” His fingertips dig into my wrist in a very tight squeeze. A low whimper escapes my lips. “But you see, in order to get back at him, I must target you. Have you any idea what it’s like to lose somebody you love?”

“Yes.” I answer in a flat voice. “I know it’s not easy but you but you can’t do this. It’ll only make things-“

“Make thing’s worse? Yeah I’ve heard that already. But you don’t get it, you know nothing. Making you suffer will make him suffer and I will do anything for that to happen.”

Silence loomed between us for a moment and his grip loosened. My hopes of fleeing were destroyed when he squeezes again, only this time it was harder.

“So… y-you’re going to hurt… me?” I stutter in a state of fear for whatever might happen.

He smirks at me. I could of sworn I seen some excitement in his eyes. “You’ll see.”

Ginny’s POV

I let out a loud and heavy sigh. Harry and Ron sat bickering over Quidditch which is a topic I lost interest in a long while ago. Usually I’m more than happy to participate in talk with my brother and Harry but I felt worried, worried for Hermione. She never leaves dinner this early. She definitely seemed like she was in an odd mood today. I just hope it wasn’t anything to do with Malfoy, I still stood firmly by my statement that things wouldn’t end well if he messed with her in any way. I guess I was just protective like that. Hermione has always been like a sister to me and the thought of any prat hurting her caused my blood to boil. I gave my Brother a dissatisfied look when he wasn’t paying attention, recently he has hurt Hermione in a lot of ways and I was mad at him, really mad. But I couldn’t hold any grudges against him because after all he was my flesh and blood, whether I liked that or not.
