Malfoy's Secret - EDITING

|chapter seven|

Malfoy Mannor | Dining Room

Hermione and Draco walked into the dining room to see both of their families, along with the Greengrass family and Theo. They were in the middle of a discussion before the two of them walked in. Narcissa saw them and instantly stood up.

"Hermione dear, how are you feeling?" She said while walking twords her. "I'm fine Narcissa. My head hurts a little bit, but other than that, I'm alright." Hermione assured her. She knew very well that Narcissa cared for her very much. Hermione was the first girl that Draco ever had feelings for and Mrs. Malfoy always knew, that Hermione would be the one. Narcissa gave Hermione a soft smile before leading her to her seat. Hermione sat down, Draco sat right next to her.

"Draco and Hermione," Lucius began. "While you two were away, we have been discussing what the Dark Lord has planned. The two of you, along with Blaise, Astoria, and Theo will be receiving the Dark Marks on New Years Night."

Hermione shivered at the thought...

"We understand that it will be difficult to hid your marks," Lucius continued. "But no matter what happens, no one is to know about any of you becoming deatheaters. Especially you Hermione."
She nodded her head is response. She was to lost in thought to pay fully attention.

'I'm going to become a deatheater...'

Everyone sat in silence for a few moments before Theo had something to say.

"MERLINS ASS!!!! We need to get back to Hogwarts!" He exclaimed. Narcissa almost knocked him up side the head.

"Theodore Nott!! Watch your profanity! And calm down! I sent an owl to Severus explaining that Hermione was unconscious. He said that it would be alright if you snuck into the castle around 10:30pm." Mrs. Malfoy explained.

Theo turned bright red and sat down while everyone else tried not to laugh. Eventually, everyone failed and burst out laughing. It was moments like these that showed the true side of everyone.

While the whole world thought the people sitting at the dining room table were cruel, vial, killers, they were just people who have to do what they need to survive. If doing whatever the worst wizard on the world asked them to do, they would do it. To keep themselves safe, and to keep their loved ones safe.

"Bye mom and dad, I promise to see you guys soon!" Hermione said while being engulfed into a hug by her parents. "And I promise not to get in any more trouble with Gel-Boy over here." Blaise said nodding his head twords Draco. Draco heard him and rolled his eyes, paying him no mind. Once all the goodbyes were said and done with, Astoria, Hermione, Draco, Blaise, and Theo began their trip back to Hogwarts.

Hogwarts School | 10:00pm

Everyone had been asleep and in their dorms by now. There wasn't much need to be concerned about getting caught. But just to be safe, they all went separate ways back to their dorm room. Except, Blaise stayed with Hermione.

"How are you feeling about all of this, Mia?" He questioned her. "I'm horrified Blaise." She began. "What if Harry and Ron find out? How would our classmates react to us being on the Dark Side during the war? What if one of us is killed??" Hermione atarted to panic and Blasie immediately hugged her to try and calm her down. "Don't worry Mia," Blaise started. "I promise you, all of us will be fine, trust me sis." He assured her. Hermione smiled and nodded her head.

"You get some rest Mia, it's been a long day." Blaise said. Hermione nodded and started heading twords her dorm. Once she arrived, she whispered the password and quietly walked into the empty common room. She went up to her dorm, got dressed into her night clothes, and began to fall asleep. Before she did, she reached for something under her pillow and held it close.

Draco's scarf.
