Chapter 11

For music here!

POV. Hermione

"I'm being summoned!" he said
'What? How can you be so sure?'
"Because my sign hurts.You should go away, it's probably too dangerous."

'But what about you? Are you gonna be okay?'

'Yess just go, I don't want to put you in danger!'
'But..'
'Granger pleasse..'

'Okay I'll go. I am coming back in 1 hour!'

Please! be careful.
Even though I must hate you, deep down I was concerned and I cared about you.

I said to myself.

POV. Draco
I was summoned.
Why was I suddenly summoned now?
I knew that I could disappear in 1 second and that you-know-you could see where I was and with whom.
That's why I sent Granger away. If you knew she was alone with me, he'd hurt her. I was sure.

Granger walked out of the infirmary and I disappeared a few seconds later.
Once I was out of the infirmary, I felt a chill.

Where was I? I thought to myself.

Then I heard my father's voice and that of a few others.
I stood half a meter in front of a large door that was slightly open.
I took a big breath and walked towards it. Hoping it doesn't go wrong.
Once I was inside I heard the Dark Lord say;

'Hello Draco
How nice to have you here.'

'You don't look very well.'

I swallowed and said:
'I know.'
'What is going on?'

"I have an assignment for you."

'For me?'

'Yeah for you, what did you think then?'
'I need someone and she's at your school. It's a smart mudblood.'

"Does anything come to mind?" He said.

"Do you mean Granger sir?"

'Yes, I mean her.'

'what do you mean and why do you need her?'
"It's none of your business."
'You must kidnap her'

I wanted to say why but I kept my mouth shut. I knew why he needed her.

"You already know why or not?" He said

'I- is she the one I have to kill to become a real death eater?'

'I do not know yet. But she's a good choice.'
"But I need her for other reasons that you don't need to know."

"So I have to kidnap her and bring her here?"

"Yeah, and if you screw up, you know what will happen."

Then it will be my death.

"When should it happen?"

'During the yule ball it can go unnoticed.'
"You have to keep a close eye on that mudblood."

'Okay'

'You can go Draco'

I walked out the door thinking only about Granger.

I can't kidnap her.
But I can't die either.
I didn't know what to do.

It was best to be the mean old Draco to her again.
But that was also difficult.
When I see her it is hard to ignore my feelings.
I just don't know what my feelings are with her.

When I got back to the infirmary, Granger wasn't there yet.
Luckily, there is still time to think.

I had to start hating her again, that's what I tell myself every time. But I just couldn't.
Why do I have that irritating feeling.

How can I kidnap her if I'm going to be nice to her? That certainly fails.

There was only one thing.
Holding on to hate her until this war is over.
I had to do something like a promise spell. I was not able to do it in the past.
But I have to wait with the spell until I see Granger. So I could be nice to her one last time.

10 minutes later I heard someone walking this way.
It was Granger.

"Malfoy!"
"Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm okay."

'What happened?'

"There wasn't much just that I'll be told who to kill in a few days."

I lied. I couldn't tell her what really happened. Not now.
I totally forgot about the wounds. I need help with the wounds to heal.

And miss Pomfrey isn't here. I need to wait with the promise spell.

I had to be here for a maximum of 3 days.
So that was okay.
I had to rest enough but I could apply the remedy myself to my wounds so I didn't have to stay there any longer.

"Draco?"

'Huh'

'Are you there?'

'Yes, I'm here. I was in my thoughts for a moment.'

'I thought so.'

'It's getting late. Why don't you go to sleep?'

"I just had to see you, to make sure you're all right."

'Oh'
'Well I feel good so you don't have to be here anymore. You can go to sleep.'

'Okay.'
"Then good night Draco I mean Malfoy."

"You don't have to say Malfoy every time."
"Draco is good when we're alone."

"Okay then the same goes for you."

"Well then, sleep well Hermione." I almost blushed.
"Good night Draco."

She walked out of the infirmary.
Why do I always get myself in trouble?

I went to lie in the infirmary bed.
My wounds were still hurting but when Hermione is with me, it's less.
She really did something to me.

I was still deep in my thoughts and finally fell asleep.

--------------------------------------------
The next morning
--------------------------------------------

'How are your wounds?' Asked Gregory

Gregory and Zabini came by.
They heard that I was in the infirmary after they didn't see me again in the evening and wasn't in the breakfast room.

'My wounds are fine. I am a tough guy.' I said with a smile on my face.

They looked at me like I was joking.
'What? I mean it!'

'Yeah yeah.'

'Do you need anything?' Zabini said

'No thanks.'

I was about to say something but saw Potter and Hermione come in. shit!

"What are you doing here?" said Zabini.

"We are helping your friend from his wounds." said Potter

'Why? Where's Miss Pomfrey?'

'She's gone. She went on a trip and said to us that we were in charge to help Malfoy.' said Granger.

'DRACO Babyy!! What happened to you?!'

Shit! Pansy.
