That night she couldn't sleep, she had too many thoughts in her mind. She couldn't believe Draco hadn't told her something so important and yet she understood why.

Was that the reason why Draco was acting so wierdly towards her? It had to be.

That damn ferret and his daddy issues. A hurricane of emotions went through her mind all at once. She didn't even know what she was supposed to feel

Sad? Malfoy's father was the reason why he had stopped whatever had been going on with the two of them and because of him Draco wouldn't dare go near her again

Relief? Draco hadn't distanced himself from her because he didn't like her or because what they had wasn't real. The motive was an external factor that had nothing to do with the wy he felt about her

Anger? Hermione was so angry. She was so terribly angry with herself for spying on the boy, with Draco for listening to his father and to Lucius for putting his son though this

How could she tell Draco she knew without telling him she knew? He couldn't tell him it was her who sneaked in his room. He would've hated her for that and the consequences would have been terrible for their relationship

Then there was also the Ron issue. She was absolutely sure the boy wasn't going to behave like himself anymore. She knew him and when he was hurt or felt vulnerable, he did stupid things.

In the middle of the night a 'tock' at her window interrupted her stream of thoughts. She stood up and went to open it. Quickly, an owl with a letter in his mouth entered. His feathers were all ruffled and he seemed very agitated

Who sent an owl this late at night?

~ what the heck?! this must be a joke ~

Surprisingly there was no letter. Inside the envelope there was a little ampoule with water in it

"A tear"

Hermione stated examining the container. The curious girl decided to discover what memories it contained an she decided to do it immediately, so she silently snuck into Dumbledore's old office. She opened the ampoule and poured the tear in the pensive. She observed the tear fall in it and the dark shadows forming inside. She took a deep breath

"You can do this Hermione"

The girl told herself and dipped her face in, opening her mind to a kind of dreamy reality, just like when she had legilimensed her way inside Draco's mind

"Let me enter! NOW, it's fucking 3 am!"

Yelled a raging Malfoy

"Never Draco, if you won't marry me, you won't marry any other girl"

Parkinson answered furiously. They were what looked like the gate that separated the inside of Hogwarts from the outside. It was unlocked and Draco was standing on its edge. the girl pointing a wand at him. He scoffed, incredulous

"How many times do I have to tell you this... nothing happened between me and that, that MUDBLOOD Pansy!"

It was the first time the Slytherin hesitated before saying it and the girl noticed that. It was clear to her he didn't really necessarily mean or think it. In this type of situation he could've been thrown out of the castle any time and with the current weather it was a life or death situation.

She then looked at him examining his actions. She saw him get closer to the viper, in the way he always did when he wanted to achieve something. It was his way to persuade girls to do what he wanted, he was irresistible and he knew it damn well.

Parkinson seemed to falter and lowered her wand although when her eyes dropped she saw with the corner of them that Draco was slowly reaching out towards her pocket, where his wand was.

This time she didn't hesitate.

As soon as he grabbed the magical object, the girl pushed him away, but he was stronger and right when he had managed to grab her wrist, she flicked her other hand and sent him flying in the snow storm outside, with nothing more than his uniform to protect him. She then locked the gate. His wand had fallen somewhere in the snow

"Holy shit Pansy! LET ME IN! I swear I'm gonna fucking kill you! Do you hear me? I SAID I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL-"

"Professor you have to listen to me! He was out of his mind and I couldn't do anything to stop him! He said he would rather die than live without me!"

She screamed and then laughed darkly. Pansy proceeded leaving him there to freeze. Hearing that crazy laughter scared Hermione to death. Draco was hopping mad

"FUCK YOU!"

He desperately yelled and frantically started looking for his wand.

Suddenly a dementor appeared, the Gryffindor gasped watching the creature try to suck Draco's soul out. He reached for the black stick on the snow and managed to protect himself with an expecto patronum. Unfortunately his spell was incomplete and sent the dark entity away only after minutes. The boy ended up falling down in the snow, wand now out of his grasp. He was way too weak and the temperature was too cold for him to handle .

Then a glimpse of hope. His owl had returned from the Malfoy Manor and had stopped near him with the empty vial of perfume he had sent his mother and an empty envelope. He felt there wasn't much time left before his body gave up and so he hurried and grabbed the little ampoule, bringing it to his eyes. He put it back in the envelope with trembling fingers

"Go t-to G-gra-ng-ger"

The owl flew away and right after that his vision went black and Draco fainted.
