Hermione's POV // Sept 26th
It's been six days since Draco went to his father and he's been different
spending every day with me he could and sat at the Gryffindor table at every meal, slept in my dorm, did anything I asked or wanted, hadn't acted like a Slytherin at all unless he saw that black-haired girl called 'Camila' in which he would glare and sometimes the occasional silent hex, he studied anytime I told him we had to without any arguments and we had been on four more dates
in any case
I was getting worried
at first, I thought it was cute like he's changing for me but now I think there's something wrong, he's also been extra nervous and tense, it's really starting to worry me
so, in the evening after dinner, I asked him
"Draco?" I closed my book to look at him
we were reading in my bed; he was laying with his back leaning on the headboard and I was laying on his chest
"hm?" he didn't look away from his book
"what's up with you?"
he closed his book and looked at me "what do you mean? I'm perfectly fine" he was lying I could tell because his face went paler and his pupils thinned, that's what happens when he lies
"you're not, there is something up I can tell" I sat up next to him and looked him in the eyes
"and what makes you think that?" he smiled but it was forced
"you've been way nicer and non-Slytherin lately, well since you got back from the manor anyway"
he frowned "look, I'll tell you everything later but right now? I need to talk to harry ok?" I nodded but once again I'm very confused by him he smiled again and kissed my forehead
"I love you" he sighed before leaving
Draco's POV, with harry in the library
"Harry?" I said walking in and seeing the familiar black-haired, messy-haired, ex-enemy's head
"yeah?" he answered standing up from the table he was sitting at
"I need to tell you something, but you have to swear to me on your life that you will never tell her, please this is the most important decision of my life" he nodded nervously "ok" I took a deep breath "so I went to Malfoy manor yeah?" he nodded again, even more nervously
"When I got there my father he... he threatened me well more 'mione really... he said that if I didn't obliviate her of all the good memories then he would um... kill her painfully he told me how... well remember that spell you used on me in the bathroom in year 6?" he nodded again, "he said he'd use that spell to make her bleed out until she dies but he'd also use crucio and a load of other spells and jinx's... so obviously I said I'd obliviate her but he gave me seven days... I'm gonna do it when I get back, but you have to promise to tell all your friends and everyone in the school... I'll do that... so you have to make sure none of the Gryffindors tell her"
he nodded while I explained the rest of the plan to him and he agreed, still a little confused but he agreed nonetheless
"ok, I'm gonna do it" I got up, my head full of doubts but I had to... for her, I was about to walk out when harry grabbed my arm
"it's gonna be okay Draco, don't worry this is for her own good" I nodded and turned to walk away when he called me back "no matter what she says... don't falter, remember why your doing it and remind her you love her before you do"
I nodded again and walked out of the library and towards Gryffindor tower where 'mione was waiting in the common room on the sofa. as soon as she saw me she jumped up and ran towards me
"Now tell me what's wrong, please" she walked us over to the sofa while she said this and we sat down side-by-side
"Okay, I'm gonna tell you something and you can't freak out and you also HAVE to let me ok?" I was pleading with her, seriously hoping she would listen and let me or it's gonna make everything worse
"ok?....." she was once again obviously very confused but soon enough she'll be upset, not confused
"ok" I took a deep breath again "when I went to see my father he threatened me about you, he said that... I have two choices... either I obliviate you of all your good memories of us or..... he kills you slowly and painfully, in front of me... I know how but I won't tell you because you've been tortured enough in that house"
I was trying to hold back my tears, I didn't want to seem weak in front of her, but it hadn't worked
"b-but you promised! You t-told me he wouldn't get between y-you and me!"
"I know but I can't stop him...I told harry to make sure no one tells you; he will make sure no one does, it's okay"
she was crying a lot now, I was afraid for her "n-no Draco! I refuse to let you do this! I love you and you're hurting me! You're breaking, not one but two promises, you would never hurt me, and your dad wouldn't get between us... he has" she was trembling, I broke her heart "p-please Draco don't, I love you!" I smiled at her... even crying and heart-broken she was the same Hermione I loved
"I don't have a choice baby" I wiped away her tears and kissed her on the forehead, tears starting to stream and my eyes forced shut, trying to clear my mind
"I love you 'mione, I always have"
she frowned "no, no Draco don't you dare!" she was crying too much to even speak properly now
"I'm sorry love"
"NO, DRACO DON'T PLEASE DON'T"
"obliviate"
