I will wait ~ Dramione ON HOLD

Chapter 11

"WHAAAT?!?!?" Draco and myself screeched. Another pain coursed thorough my body I couldn't help but scream and fall to the ground. "Hermione" Draco yelled and ran to my side, picking me up gently and walking towards the couch only to scream out himself and fall onto the couch in pain bringing me with him. Shit he's heavy "sorry love" he grimaced.

"It's fine, are you ok?" I said.

"Been better" he said bluntly, picking himself up, laying me and himself on the couch.

"Oh Draco how could you forget about the marking?'' Cissa said, almost slightly disappointed.

"But mother, that's only for purebloods''

"Ahhhh" my screams interrupted him, Draco looked at me with concern and pulled me close "mother Hermione is a muggleborn" Draco said confused, gently stroking my hair.

"Well I'm pretty sure she's not, it's a Malfoy tradition the marking only takes place when the two purebloods relationship has been approved by the mother, I just approved and the marking has begun.'' Cissa stated. I'm guessing bluntness ran in the family. Shit this was horrific, it felt like my back was on fire. "Mother" Draco said weakly.

''Ok Draco ill go see her 'parents' and see what's going on, just don't try and move you'll be here for a while, look after her Draco." Cissa said before she apparating.

"Draco what's going on?" I said weakly.

"I don't really know love" he said.

"The marking?" I was so confused.

"Oh yes, it's a Malfoy tradition, when a Malfoy has truly fallen in love a bright light emits from the family tree remember the family tree, I think I told you last year" I just nodded weakly "well yeah, so the family tree glows so the mother of the house calls a meeting, probably why we are here today, and then she approves or disagrees, if she approves the marking can begin. This is pretty much the binding of the souls, you get a tattoo that changes with your moods and thoughts, kind of like an metamorphus (not kill me for my awful spelling) and the twos minds are linked, so you can talk without speaking and all that. And I think that's it' he said running out of breath.

"But I'm not a pureblood" I said still confused.

"I know sweetie, I'm sorry but I don't know." He said sadly.

"It's not your fault, I'm sorry" I sighed.

"Don't apologise sweetie, are you ok, and don't lie I know you too well" he said with a bit of a smile.

"I don't know how to respond to that" I said smirking.

"Mione..." Draco groaned obviously knowing I was in pain.

"Worse than cramps, less than crucio, happy?" I sighed.

"Not when your in pain" he said kissing my forehead.

"Do you have any ice cream?" I asked after a comfortable silence.

"Ice cream, if you feel the same as me, which you probably should, you will want to chop your back off and you're asking for ice cream?" Draco said laughing slightly.

"I'm hungry" I said shrugging.

"Petal" Draco called laughing. A young house elf appeared in a punk frilly dress. "Master Draco... Oh master Draco what is wrong are you ok what can petal do for you and your friend" petal practically yelled when she saw us.

"Petal, we are both fine, don't worry" he said giving the elf a hug ''but could we please get some chocolate ice cream please?"

"Oh course master Draco" petal said apparating away.

"Oh my goodness she's so cute" I screamed.

"Please stop calling my house elf cute, I'm just short of crying here please let me regain some of my manliness." He said.

"Sure sweetie" I said teasingly eating my ice cream.

"Urrrrggg what's taking her so long?" Draco whined.

"Dray, calm down, I'm sure she'll be back soon" I reassured.

"I know I just can't stand to see you in pain" he said kissing my forehead, stroking my hair. Another stroke of pain raced through me I couldn't help but scream out in pain. "Hermione?!?" Draco yelled with a start, "what's wrong sweetie, what can I do?"

"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG I WANT TO CHOP MY GOD DAM BACK OFF AND YOU ASK ME WHAT'S WRONG?" I yelled in pain. "Dray, in sorry, I didn't mean it, it just hurts" I said tears streaming down my face.

"I know sweetie, I just hate seeing you in pain, is there anything I can do?" He said sympathetically.

"I don't know, why won't it stop?'' I cried.

"It's always worse for the non-Malfoy, if I could I would take the pain instead of you, I can't stand this" he said crying himself pulling me closer.

"I love you Draco" I whispered.

"I love you too sweetie" he whispered back.

Dispite the discomfort, I was bloody tired so I succumbed to sleep the last thing I see was Draco kissing my forehead.

~~~~~~~

"Mione, Mione?" Draco whispered gently.

''Yeah?" I muttered opening my eyelids seeing his beautiful face, grimacing in pain.

"Are you ok?" I asked scared if the answer.

"I'm fine sweetie but I think there is something you need to know." He said his gaze not quite meeting my eye. Oh crap, I'm definitely scared now. "Dray.... What's wrong?" I said cautiously.

"We'll I don't know how to tell you this, my mother is still a little bit emotional about it but she gave me all the details, thought it better I told you." He gulped.

"Draco just spit it out'' I said probably a little to harsh. "We'll you parents aren't really your parents" he said.

"WHAT?" I yelled probably bursting his ear drums. "I'm sorry sweetie, that's why my mother took so long. You're adopted. When she was 16 Nymphadora Tonks had a very drunken one night stand" Draco gulped.

My heart was breaking not only was I adopted, my mother was dead "with who" I said very cautiously.

Draco gulped, oh crap could this get any worse? "James potter" he whispered.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?" I screamed.

Draco just wrapped his arms tighter around me letting my tears fall freely. "Snape was jealous of James so he spiked his drink with a drunkeness potion where you don't know who you are or what you are doing. But because he didn't want to fail he spiked two, Tonks ended up with the other. Then well you know you happened, and there she was with a baby and no clue what she was doing. So she took her mothers advise and put you up for adoption. She told the muggles the full story and put a charm on you to make you appear normal for the muggle world. She also told them the reversal spell for the day when you found out the truth. And I think that's it, I'm so sorry sweetie" he said sympathetically wiping my tears away.

"Did lily and Remus know?" I asked through the tears. Draco just chuckled why the hell would he freaking chuckle??? "You're so sweet, you just found out you are a part potter and the first question you ask is die lily know? Yes she knew, James ran to her the next day with the memory and dropped to his knees and cried like a girl, although he never knew who spiked the drink. James didn't want to hurt her like that. And yes so did Remus, but he didn't know it was you."

"Ok now I don't feel so bad" I sniffed.

He chuckled again. "Stop Merlin dam chuckling dray'' I laughed. Sorry sweetie he said gently kissing me on the forehead.
