Lies, Love and Blood
When I woke up that morning I didn't know the horrible things that would occur today. I knew Ron's words were ones that could get us all killed. "Take me! Leave her!" Ron screamed. "If she dies under questioning, you'll be next! Blood traitor is next to Mudblood in my book!" Bellatrix yelled. Her screams rocked Malfoy Manor. I whimpered and heard Ron yelling my name. The black, old Manor got very quiet as Bellatrix began to shriek at me. "What did you take from my vault?!" She screamed. Bellatrix was known for using whatever she had to do,to get people to tell the truth. And of that I was even more scared. Though stupidly I shouted at her."We didn't take anything!". She screamed in frustration yet that didn't stop her from getting even angrier at my constant screams and pleads. Her next words were probably so loud everyone in England could have heard. "I don't believe you! CRUCIO!" I scream and yell louder than I ever had. This was worse than when I almost died from Death Eaters in my 5th year. I started to sob and I felt so much pain and am so weak that I collapsed to the ground. "We didn't take any- any- anything!" I sobbed loudly. "LIAR!" Bellatrix shouted. Consequently a pain goes into my arm. A knife goes into my skin. I scream and squirm in pain. One cut after another. I sob in terror and pain.
"STUPEFY!" A familiar voice shouted and Bellatrix flied backward. Someone grabbed me and I yelp. "Shut up!" "Malfoy?" I asked quietly. "Granger, be quiet." Then he grabbed something, and I am unable to make out what he grabbed. "What did you-" He clamped a hand over my mouth. "Shut up!" I felt the familiar twist and turn of my body as we apparated. I fell to the ground as we arrived. I whimpered as blood began to trail down my arm. "Granger...are you ok?" Malfoy asked me. "Mudblood." The word tasted sour and made me cringe as I remember the first time I was called that.
"At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way on the team! They got in on pure talent!" I say boldly. " No one asked for your opinion, you filthy little mudblood!" Malfoy said with a big, smug grin. I glared at him knowing he took accomplishment in hurting me.
"What]?" he asked me showing his sudden concern for my words. I showed him my bleeding arm. The word MUDBLOOD trails my arm, now coating in the crimson liquid. He gasped. But I can't tell if it's because he suddenly cared or is shocked that this is all the crazy lunatic did to me. "I'm sorry." Malfoy said,showing me that he may suddenly care for me."For what, you didn't do this." I told him softly. " No,but I should have stopped it sooner.But don't forget, just because I saved you once doesn't mean you're not a Mud-muggleborn." I tilted my head up at his words. " If I'm such a disgust to you, why would you risk your life to save mine?" I question. "Don't worry about it, Granger." I sigh then asked, "How are we going to live in the woods?" Malfoy scoffed. "You think that I came unprepared is offensive, Granger." He scoffed once again. Malfoy picked up something and threw it at me. I gasped. " My bag!" I screeched. I lunged forward, opening the bag and reaching into it. First I grabbed my Tent in a can that I got from Diagon Alley before I left with Harry and Ron. I tossed it at Malfoy and he went to set it up. Moments later the tent is up and he walked back over to me. My hand finds it's way back in my bag. I smiled since I felt a small vial and I yanked it out to find my Essence of Dittany. The cap is off in seconds and I sucked some liquid up and started squeezing it out on my arm. Of course, its hurts so I hissed at the pain. Malfoy looked over at me sincerely though clearly he doesn't care. He never has so why would he have started now. And for a little Mudblood who he hated. "STOP!" I yelled at him. He's taken aback at my sudden rage. "Stop looking at me like you care and then acting as if i'm just a pathetic little Mudblood! If you want to tell me something tell me the truth not some twisted lie!" I shrieked. Malfoy huffed an angry breath. "Fine! You wanna hear something real? I LOVE YOU! I have since 3rd year and I couldn't tell you! Because why would you like a Pureblood who you hate? So you may think I don't actually care but I do! Above all of this you hate me,as I said! You feel nothing for me! Haven't you seen how much you mean to me? Why do you think I saved you? God haven't you realized it by now?" Malfoy shouted at me. I stood in front of him shocked and speechless. My mouth opened to say something but nothing came out. "I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll be back." And he left. I suddenly remembered Ron and what he told me the night he told me he loved me.
"Ok so Mione, I uh I've been wanting to tell you that...I Love You." I laugh. "I love you too Ron." He smiles at me. "But Hermione know whatever happens you can always be with someone else. I want you to be happy with whoever it can be with." "Thanks Ron."
I don't have feelings for Malfoy. He is just a egotistic prat who only thinks of himself. He's probably just trying to mess with my head.
*********************************1 WEEK LATER*********************************************
"Look Granger, we both know this isn't working. I'm gonna try and take you somewhere safe with people you actually want to be with." I shifted in my seat looking at his platinum hair and saddening face. It's more beautiful than I remembered. Then a thought entered my head. One I hope will stay there. But it doesn't. "I want to stay here." I slowly said. " You want to stay here. With me?" Malfoy said slowly. "Yes. Is that a problem? Cause if it is you can take me away. I don't want to intrud." He shook his head. "No. No its not a problem. You can stay. And can I tell you something real quick?" I nodded. "I'm sorry about what happened a few days ago. I should have just kept it to myself." I took a deep breath. "I'm actually happy you brought this up. I wanted to tell you that... I think I love you too." His eyes widened and he moved a little closer to me. "Really?" Malfoy asked questionably. "Yes. I have seen the worse and best of you. Well close to it. But anyways I've always been told to be with who makes me happy and I think thats what this is." Malfoy chuckled and then stopped."What about your friends? Potty and Weasel? What about them? What will they think?" I grabbed his hand. "I don't care what they think. They were the ones who told me to be happy no matter who it is with. The only thing i'm concerned about is your parents." Malfoy shook his head. "I don't care what they think. My mother loves me and accepts me for whoever I love and she knows I love you and she doesn't care. My father on the other hand is a different story. But nothing matters unless we're together." I smiled. "Always."
