A/N: This chapter is so short lol-

Hermione's P.O.V:

I feel really tired after the day I just had, people were all asking if I was ok or not, I didn't even hit the ground! I walk into my room shivering from Rowena's stare, the other founders need to start staying up more, they sleep through the whole day! I see Malfoy sitting and reading a book, a muggle book.

He looks up when I walk in. "Uh-..." I start, unsure what to say. I sigh. "Thank you, for today." I say giving him a small smile, as much as I hated what he did to me I'm not stupid enough to not thank him after he saved my life. He stares at me as if in shock for a bit. I nod feeling awkward and lean back on the heels of my feet and then rock back forward. "See you..." I say and turn away.

"Wait! Hermione!" Malfoy calls. I freeze. I turn slowly. "Can you atleast hear me out?" He asks and for a second I'm confused about what he's talking about until I realise he wants to talk about us and our friendship, he's been trying to get me to listen to him for a while now and I guess I could do that, he just saved my life, saying no would be wrong.

I sigh... "Malfoy whatever you're going to say I hope you realise that it's not easy to forgive someone who betrayed you, someone you trusted more than anyone, you were that person for me, I trusted you more than anyone and you betrayed me..." My voice cracks and I look to the floor, even after all these years he still makes me feel like this and I hate it, I hate how he can make me cry without saying anything and how he can make me smile with just one look.

"Mia..." He whispers and he steps towards me and I step backwards. "Talk or I leave..." I say looking back up at him. "I-... I did it because of my father! If he found out I was friends with a muggle born I don't know what he would have done, to me or to you! I was scared! I was 11, Mia! I wanted to make my father proud of me and I wanted him to stay away from him! He was 'friends' with Crabbe and Goyle's parents and those two tell their parents everything! I'm sorry I hurt you but I just wanted to protect you because, because..." Tears fall from my eyes as he talks, I never even thought of the possibility that he wanted to protect me from his father...

"Because what?..." I ask through my tears, he looks up at me in the eyes. "Because you were the only person I felt I could be myself with, the only person that understood me, the only person who liked me for me..." He says. I walk up to him and pull him into a hug. He wraps his arms around me and we both stay like that.
