Malfoy's Secret - EDITING

|chapter six|

Malfoy Mannor

Everyone immediately went quiet and looked at Hermione. She nearly had a panic attack from what she said. The usually calm and retained Gryffindor was now frantic and pacing in the middle of theliving room. She was horrified and completely shocked that she would soon be recruited. Questions and questions began to flood her mind...

What if someone sees the mark?

How will Harry and Ron react?

Whos side would I fight on?

How would we keep this secret?

Why me? Why me!?

Then the worst possible question came into thought..

What if I die?

The second she thought of that question, everything went black.

"It would be dangerous for all of them!"
"We don't have a choice."
"We can run away!"
"He's made his decision and we can't escape now."

This was all Hermione heard from the conversation taking place. She couldn't hear the rest due to her headache kicking in. She sat up and looked around. She was on the living room couch with Draco, who was asleep next to her. "What happened?" She asked herself. And then, she remembered.

The brightest witch of her age will be recruited as a deatheater. She didn't know when, but she would definitely have the mark etched into her skin. And if it was going to happen to her...

It would happen to all of them.

Hermione couldn't stand the thought of it. Her best friends, her lover, and her own twin would subject themselves to the Dark Lord and whatever horriable plans they had. She was scared for herself but most of all, she was scared for the truth being revealed.

Hermione was about to get up and join her friends and their parents, when she quickly noticed that Draco had woken up. She saw him open his eyes and smiled to herself. He saw her smiling and quickly kissed her on the lips. The two of them laughed before Draco spoke again.

"Finally you're up." He said. 'Finally, what could he mean by finally?' She questioned to herself.

"You were out for several hours Hermione. After you were pacing for a few minutes, you were kocked out. I picked you up and laid you on the couch while my mother went and got you an ice pack for your head."

'That would explain my massive headache'

"Belive it not, you have been out nearly all day." Hermione got a little frightened from learning she has been unconscious for nearly a full day. Draco saw the hint of worry in her face and softly brushed her cheek."Don't worry love, you didn't miss much." He assured her. "The whole day, the families have been in the dining room discussing what the Dark Lord had told Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass about his plans for all of us..." The usual confident, relax Slytherin suddenly became very tense and frightened. He paused and looked down before finishing his sentence.

"...becoming deatheaters."

The two sat in silence for a fee moments before looking into eachothers eyes. Hermione noticed something very different and strange about Draco's usually open, grey-blue eyes.

They were filled with tears... Seeing this made her cry seconds later.

Hermione hugged him so tight that she was scared he would leave him forever if she didn't. The two dat like that for a while before Hermione spoke again.

"We will be okay Draco, I promised." He pulled away from her and cupped her face into his hands. They smiled to eachother and shared a passionate kiss that lasted for what seemed centuries. Draco then pulled away and brushed the hair out of Hermione's face.

"Mia Lemorda Zabini," Draco began. "Promise me, that no matter what happens, we will always have eachother." Hermione smiled. "Draco Scorpius Malfoy," she playfully mocked. "I promise that we will stay together no matter what happens." The couple kissed one last time, for a longer period of time then before. Once they finished they stood up and held hands.

"Lets go greet our parents."
