Our Scars - A Draco And Hermione Story

Chapter 3

Hermione -

I woke up early. I wanted to have time to finish my homework so that I can help Malfoy this evening. I was going to grab my wand from my desk when I saw a ring on my nightstand.

Malfoy's ring.

There was a note under it. The paper was really beautiful. It had a rose drawing in the right hand corner.

Thank you for helping me.

- DM

I slipped the ring on and my heart fluttered. It made me feel warm. I was so happy to be helping someone. Especially someone like Malfoy.

...

I got to Potions class before I even saw Malfoy. "Ah Granger! You'll be partnered with Malfoy today."

I guess Malfoy got there even earlier than me, since he was already sitting in his seat. "Hi." I said as I sat down next to him. "You're wearing the ring. People are going to start making rumors." He said with a smile.

"Oi! Granger and the death eater?!" Seamus sneered. I whipped my head around and stared at Seamus.

How. Fucking. Dare. He.

"You're a disgrace to wizards! You never should of come back! Fucking death eater!" Seamus yelled.

Malfoy's face tightened. He held onto his dark mark arm.

"Just get the fuck out of this school!" Seamus yelled again.

Malfoy briskly walked out of the room.

Without thinking, I punched Seamus square in the face.

Draco -

Seamus was right. I never should of come back. The whole time I'd been here, people had been saying things about me. Saying things to me. The only people who didn't give me looks were Granger and Weaslette.

I ran up the stairs to the astronomy tower. So many bad memories here.

I looked down. A tear fell from my eye and I watched it fall all the way to the grass below.

I wonder what it would feel like to die. To not have to worry. I could be light and free. There's no one left to live for. If I died, who would even care? Not my friends. Not my parents. Granger doesn't even know me. She would get over it very quickly.

This is where it all started. So this is where it should end too.

I was about to let myself fall, when I heard a voice.

Hermione -

After I punched Seamus, I ran out of the classroom. I need to find him. I saw a drop of blood. Acting on full impulse, I followed it all the way to the astronomy tower.

That's when I saw him. His figure. He was standing on the railing. Barely balancing.

"DRACO!"

I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I pulled him back and forced him into a hug.

Hot tears flew down my face as I listened to him sob.

"Draco...you were going to end your life?"

"I-i suppose so. I just .... Thought no one would care."

"I would care! Don't ever do that again! You can talk to me Draco!"

"Draco?" He whispered
