Just Go For It

Chapter 43

Hermione and Draco were looking down at the book speechless.

"Do you understand what this means Draco. They could be alive!" Hermione said shocked.

"They want to harm everybody that I love." Draco said to himself with his hands on his face. Even though Draco said it to himself Hermione heard him.

"What do you mean they want to harm everybody that you love?" Hermione asked.

"The dreams that I have been having are why Daphne, Theo and my Mother are hurt." Draco said to Hermione with emotion in his eyes.

"Draco I can sense that there is something you aren't telling me." Hermione said her eyes wide and curious.

"They said... I better break-up with you or my family and friends will get hurt. And my latest dream was if you don't break-up with her then you will get killed." Draco said with worry.

"Draco why didn't you tell anyone? You should have told Dumbledore." Hermione said.

Draco could see where she was coming from he should have told Dumbledore once he started having these dreams. He was tempted to tell him on New Year but he didn't. Draco looked down at his feet.

"I know I should have I just couldn't tell him I had to try to kill him the other year remember if it wasn't for Potter stopping Snape then Dumbledore would have been a goner." Draco said lifting his head up but not meeting Hermione's eyes.

"I wont tell Dumbledore if you don't want to." Hermione said looking at Draco's sadness.

"Thank you. I'm just scared that you will get hurt." Draco said.

"Draco you know we can break up if it means that much to you." Hermione said looking at Draco who looked more said than before.

"I don't want to break up with you though." Draco said now looking at Hermione.

"If you are sure that I might get hurt or killed then it's best we break up and if it is fine then get back together." Hermione said looking into Draco's stormy grey eyes full of emotion and sadness.

"If you think it's best." Draco said.

Hermione nodded.

"So we've broken-up." Draco said.

Hermione took a deep breath and then replied "Yes I guess so. I promise not to tell anyone about your dreams."

"Thank you." Said Draco attempting a smile.

"We can still be friends right?" Hermione asked.

"Yes we can as long as I get to be as close as you as I can." Draco responded.

Later that day around 6:30pm. Everybody who was there for the holidays were having their tea. Draco kept on sneaking a peak at Hermione who wasn't really eating anything like he wasn't eating anything.

"So you've really broken up." Blaise said.

"Yes we have." Draco said sadly.

"You shouldn't have I would have gotten closer to Ginny." Blaise said sternly.

"Blaise when did she become Ginny and you wouldn't have had a chance with her because she is engaged to Potter." Draco said.

"I don't have a chance with anyone. Wait can I date Hermione?" Blaise asked hopefully.

"What so me and Hermione break up and then you want to date her." Draco said.

"Yeah she is the hottest girl after Ginny." Blaise said.

"I know that Blaise please don't make me feel worse than I am already." Draco said putting a hand on his own forehead with his elbow on the table.

"You didn't break up with her because things weren't working did you?" Blaise asked Draco.

"No I feel like I'm heartbroken." Draco responded.

"Did she break up with you?" Blaise asked.

"No I...do you want to know the truth about what happened?" Draco asked.

Blaise nodded.

"Well I kept on having these dreams about me being trapped in a small room and then there were two voices. A girl voice and a boy voice. They kept on saying break up with Hermione or your friends and family will get hurt. But ignored them. I carried on dating her. And when Daphne got hurt I thought it was just a vogue bludger nothing serious and then when Theo got hurt and then my Mother I knew Hermione wasn't safe. My latest dream was about me having to break up with Hermione or they will kill her. So we had to break up for her safety. Because if she died I would be truly heart broken." Draco said to Blaise with emotion in his voice.

Hardly anybody was in the hall now.

"It's 7:30 we should go back to our separate dorms and common rooms." Draco said.

"OK take care mate." Blaise said.

Draco walked to the common room alone.

When Draco walked in the common room he couldn't believe his eyes Hermione was on the floor withering in pain while a wizard was over her torturing her.

The wizard was quite bulky and had a square shaped face. His eyes were almost black and his nose was chunky and long and his mouth really pale with yellow sharp teeth. On his chin you could see uneven stubble the colour of coal. His hair was black but with some grey hairs. His arms were muscly and his legs too. He was around 7ft tall.

The wizard stopped torturing Hermione a minute when Draco walked in and gave Draco a yellow toothy smile. Draco looked down at Hermione and she was crying lightly her eyes begging Draco to help her. The wizard grabbed Hermione around the waist and then disapparated with her. Leaving Draco staring where they were standing.
