Falling for my opposite

Chapter 8: Love Hurts

Draco watched in agony as his own blood tortured the one he loved. He was in no position to help. How could he? He was chained up and sure these chains had some kind of spell on them. His father wouldn't make it that easy to escape. He laid back, defeated. He couldn't think of anything. He tried to close his eyes and block out the noise but it was probably the only thing to be heard for miles around. He too, was in pain. His pain, though, was emotional. He felt a sort of empathy for Hermione. She deserves nothing of what he'd gotten everyday growing up. The constant torturing and punishment. It wasn't the torture you're probably thinking of, smacks and screams. His father would always make him do things against his will. He would make Draco torture others when he was feeling spontaneous. Crucio was his favorite spell in the book, by far.

*Clink*

He thought he heard something. but he couldn't hear very well over Hermione's cried of pain. "Stop!" He found himself yelling. His father froze and turned to him, looking a bit taken aback.

"You're not talking to me, right boy? I know bloody well you're smarter than that. Poor thing, having to watch his mudblood dirty friend be tortured. Draco, don't you know this is what they deserve, what they were born for? They ruined the wizarding bloodline. They deserve this."

Draco was absolutely furious. He had an overwhelming urge to get up and tackle his father, give him a taste of what he's been dealing for years. He knew better though. He knew that would only make him as bad as his father, and that's the last thing he wants. Not to mention, he can't do much chained up. Draco tilted his head to catch his breath and instead caught Hermione's eye. He felt a sense of calm wash over him. Every time he looked into those beautiful brown eyes he couldn't help but smile. He gave her a reassuring smile and looked back up at his father. If there was any good time to show him how he really felt, it was now.
