Harry, Ron, and Hermione ended up talking and catching up the rest of the night.
****
The next morning Hermione woke up to knocking on her door.
She got out of bed and opened the door.
"Hey......can we talk.....please?" Draco asked standing in the doorway.
Hermione looked at her watch. "Draco, it's 7:30 in the morning. Come back later." She groaned and started to close the door, but Draco it hi hand on it and stopped it from closing.
"No, I can't come back later! I haven't been able to sleep Hermione. I've been up all night trying to figure out how to apologize...." he said, looking more tired than Hermione had ever seen him.
She sighed and opened the door wider, so that he could come in.
He stepped inside and closed the door behind him, as Hermione walked back over to the bed and sat down.
"Can I please explain?" Draco asked nervously.
"I'm listening." Hermione said with a stern and straight face.
"Thank you...." he said taking a deep breath. "Okay, Hermione I do love you and I know I didn't tell you about the dark mark. I thought that you would freak out or something, I'm really sorry...... and I wanted to pull Bellatrix off you but my father, he used the stuplify charm on me, and I couldn't move.....I'm sorry...." Draco said.
Hermione could tell that Draco really loved her and was really sorry, but she didn't know if she could still trust him. He lied to her and he knew it.
"How long have you been a death eater, Draco?" Hermione asked in a shaky tone.
Draco hesitated, "um...for about a year and a half." He said slowly, clearly ashamed.
Hermione didn't know what else to say. She sat there on her bed, not saying a word for what felt like an eternity.
"I didn't want to though, you have to understand that." Draco said. "Please say something." He begged.
"Draco, you lied to me, you said that you weren't a death eater and clearly that was a lie....You've been lying to me this whole time."
"You act like I chose this for myself....like I wanted this life." He said, his voice getting louder.
Hermione just looked at him.
"Fine! Ive sacrificed everything for you, Hermione!" He paused, looking down at the floor. "I have to go....the Hogwarts express is leaving in an hour." Draco said in a low and hurt voice.
"You're going back to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked shocked.
"Yeah, it's the only place I can go... I'm clearly not wanted here and I'm not going back to Malfoy Manor." He said turning away.
Hermione let him walk away.

It was only thirty minutes later, that she realized she made the worst mistake she could possibly think of.
She got dressed and ran out of the bedroom.
"Where's Draco?" Hermione asked Fleur quickly.
"He left about fifteen minutes ago sweety, why? Is there something her forgot?"
"Yeah," Hermione said, "me, oh, and will you tell Ron and Harry to gather my things and send the to Hogwarts."
