Hermione POV
I received a letter from Witch Weekly reporter, Sapphire, saying they would love an interview from both Draco and I, on the situation, and requested a date we could do it. So this morning I got ready and headed to McGonagall's office to see if it was possible to do it in Hogwarts Tomorrow evening.

I knocked on the door softly but also loud, "Come in." Replied her soft comforting tone through the door. I gently entered her office and walked to her desk as she said, "Good Morning Miss Gra... Zabini. How may I help you today?"
"Good Morning Professor. I was just coming to see if a reporter from Witch Weekly was able to come tomorrow evening to Draco and my dorm so we can completely clear up the issue from the Daily Prophet." I asked slightly nerves but with complete honesty lacing my voice.

McGonagall sighed and asked, "Hermione, I know it is important to you but may I think about it?" I nodded my head with a smile on my face and replied, "Yes professor I can also understand why you need time." She thanked me for the time and in return, I thanked her for seeing me and headed out of the office and started down towards the Great Hall.

As I was halfway to the Great Hall I felt fear and panic, as well as a panicky voice, filled my head.
'Mia, where are you? Are you ok? Are you safe?' Dray spat out questions as his concern filled him completely. 'Draco, my dragon, I am fine. I just talked to McGonagall to try and get a reporter from Which Weekly into the School so we can clear up this mess. I am just heading to the hall now.'

I continued down to the hall. I enter the hall just in time for the morning post. I sat down and began eating, all of a sudden a letter dropped in front of my face then two then ten. It carried on until I had like 30 letters and the majority of them seemed to be howlets. Let me just say I have never been so nervous in my life. I opened one and I heard the yelling voice of Molly Weasley and unfortunately, that seemed to make the others start.

They were yelling how a Mudblood like me should never have got such a catch with a well known Pureblood. It was even worse that we broke tradition in not having a grand, well-published wedding and that we kept everything a secret, even my pregnancy. Molly just seemed disappointed in me, as she was always a second mother to me, that I kept the wedding and pregnancy a secret from her.

Ginny could see how distressed, overwhelmed and embarrassed I got, she cast incendio at the letters to stop them. I saw McGonagall, as well as Blaise, Dray and my friends, head towards me. McGonagall just said, "Miss Zabini you may do it. Just let me know the details, will you!"
"Of course Professor," I replied nodding as Draco justed hugged me calming as McGonagall got everyone back to what they were doing.

Draco didn't let me leave his side until Gin pulled me away from him and sent him to his own lesson. I hardly paid attention to my lessons the person I shared the lesson with just doubling the notes with the Gemino spell. I headed straight to my dorm after lessons and wrote another letter to Witch Weekly.

'Dear Sapphire,
Is Tomorrow at 7 pm, ok for you?

Thank you for wanting to hear Draco's and mine's side about everything. Hopefully, I will see you tomorrow.

Sincerely Hermione.'

I sent the letter and went to lie down in Draco and mine room. I ended up falling asleep, I got woke up by a Ginny with food, then I spotted Draco, Blaise, Neville, Luna and Harry? in the room. I gave them a confused look.

"I brought you some food, Mione. The others and I are just concerned as you seemed to be in a daze all day long."
Ginny said with concern and uneasy flooding her voice. I took the food and began to eat it however I didn't eat much due to not feeling hungry that much. "I'm fine guys, just been thinking on the letters and some passed experience." I started to muttered the end of the sentences.

I knew they heard me but I rolled over and curled up into myself. I had a young Draco and his friends bullying me, a rude first year Ron making comments behind my back and the Malfoy Manor incident which lead to a permanent scar as well as the threats to my life.

Why can't I just have a break for once? Just a quiet day!
