Chapter 12 : Hurt

Hermione x Draco

I don't own Harry Potter

Chapter 12

(Hermione's POV)

I woke the next morning with a slight headache from crying myself to sleep. I was right when I feared that Draco would turn out to be a jerk again. I can't believe that I feel for those tricks. I tried to talk to him last, but he wasn't interested in anything that I had to say, and basically wanted me to leave him alone. I sighed and got up and went to the bathroom and got cleaned up. Once I was done I dried my hair and put my uniform on and headed down stairs and saw Draco was headed out as well. 

"Draco can we talk?" I asked.

"At this current moment I don't have anything to say to you." He said and continued walking.

"Draco I don't understand why you are so upset for." I cried.

"Forget it I am going to get Breakfast." He said and stormed off before I could say anything more.

I swear he could be so frustrating. I made my way to the Great Hall and joined the teachers up front next to Draco, but he wouldn't even look at me. It wasn't a shock that he didn't want to though. He was really angry with me at the current moment. After eating I headed to my first class and I immersed myself in my studies. I was ready for this day to be over with. I wanted to go to talk to my friends and maybe start some research. There had to be something that could help me. I thought back to when my mother told me everything about our history to see if I missed anything that she told me. 

Flashback 

"Hermione Dear, it is so nice to see you." My mother said.

"It is nice to see you as well mother and father." I said.

"Are you settling into your life well?" My father asked.

"Yeah for the most part. Me and Draco still don't get along." I replied.

"In time you might find that you care for him." My father said.

"I doubt that." I laughed.

"Give it time, you may find that you care for him." My mother said.

"I will try to get along with him, that much I can promise." I replied.

"That is beside the point and can be discussed later, was there a reason that you called us here." My mother asked.

"I have noticed that there are somethings that you are hiding from me, and I can't figure it out. I won't deny that I feel a connection with Draco, and I can't explain it." I said, and my father sighed.

"We were afraid that this would happen." He said.

"What are you not telling me?" I demanded, and this time my mother sighed.

"When wizards first started appearing, many sought ways to be more powerful. Some drank unicorn blood, and keep in mind this was before the order was created, drank dragon's milk or blood, or any other type of fey blood." My mother started.

"What are trying to say?" I questioned.

"Well among those families was our family. Our ancestors chose to drink dragon's milk. Our first ancestors could speak to dragon's and they granted them access to milk them and drink the milk. It made them powerful and gave them heightened abilities. We stopped drinking the milk after an ancestor crossed a line, one of them killed a dragon and drank their blood." My father replied.

"How does this tie into the connection with Draco?" I asked.

"Well you see in drinking the blood this caused a tie to form with other wizards, but only ones that drank dragon's blood as well. There were only two families that had done that, The Malfoys and the Lestranges. It was rare, but once in while between the three families one would bear a son, and another would bear a daughter and the two would share a connection. They would be wed when they grew up, because they were mates." My mother continued.
