A/N: Ok, here is the next one. Thank you for reviewing and yeah. Everything in bold is like what they are doing. So where Draco writes waggles eyebrows it means he is waggling his eyebrows. Also, where I put this symbol after someone talks about something they remember that means that it goes back and tells you what happened without them actually talking it so it can be more descriptive.

Hermione awoke to an owl making a lot of noise. It was Starry which meant it was a letter from her owl pal.

Dear Hermione,

I know it's an obnoxious name, that's the point! Why can't you call me Blonde boy or Sexy Sam? They are so much better choices for names! I didn't want to use the web mike just in case you were asleep- so I decided to let Starry wake you up! Use the web mike as a reply. It would be good to use during detention! Waggles eyebrows in bad behaving manner! As for trusting me- sometimes its easier to trust someone who is a stranger because as far as you know they have never hurt you. I already know what a computer is thank you very much and I also know that that description didn't help. As for that riddle, who could figure that out?

- Sexy Sam

Hermione laughed at his comment about the name and the riddle. She grabbed her mike and turned it on.

Draco Malfoy heard the piercing scream that electronics often make as soon as he woke up. He put the head phones on and said grumpily and tiredly.

'Hi.'

'That's for making me wake up with the owl!'

'I guess I deserved it… not!' there was something about his voice that seemed so familiar.

'Yeah well your letter made me laugh… a few times. I guess it was sort of… worth it? I dunno.'

'Well these mikes can make really loud noises, can't they?' Hermione laughed, softly and quietly. Draco longed for her to do that once she found out who he really was.

'You're telling me. Once I was on the computer, chatting to my friend and my boyfriend was in my room, asleep. It scared the living daylights out of him and then he dumped me!'

'You're kidding!' he laughed. It felt so good to be able to get along with her.

'Nope! But that was before Hogwarts. Are you honestly telling me that you can't figure out that riddle? You're dumber then I thought!'

'Hey! No, I can't work it out. Happy? Now tell me the stupid answer!' he sounded like some cute little schoolboy who couldn't work out a math problem. She laughed again.

'It was in the day! The torch was for my friend so she could check on the animals in the dark! Duh!'

'Who could figure that out? Anyway, can you tell me why you were so sad yesterday?'

'Well… ok. But please, don't get offended or tell Harry, Ron or Draco Malfoy.' It shocked him to know that she didn't want him to know. But he had to find out. A million questions pounded in his head but this was the one he had to know the answer to.

'Ok then.' It hurt to not tell her the truth, but it was the rules.

'To tell you the truth, well that morning Lucius Malfoy paid a surprise visit to my house…'

Hermione was so excited. She was finally going to be able to go back to school! It was hard to leave her parents along with the muggle world behind but it was usually worth it. Her magical doorbell (from hogsmeade- dongs and then snow falls when someone is about to enter her room in any way- including apparating, portkeys and floo powder) sounded.

Malfoy's Dad, Lucius apparated into her room. A look of total fear flashed in her eyes.

'Why are you here? What do you want?' she had asked two simple questions.

'I have been informed of what happened in the summer between you and Ron Weasley.'

'Why can't I date him? What's wrong with that?'

'He is a pureblood. You are a mudblood. They do not mix together at all. You are to stop dating him immediately!'

'No!' and he struck her across the face.

'I expect you to do as I ask. I have ways of getting into your room unnoticed. Stop dating Ron Weasley!' it was so hard for her. Lucius left, and the snow disappeared.

Later that day, aboard the Hogwarts express, in the prefect compartment Malfoy had teased her that the mud in her blood was showing with the bruise on her face. She had slapped him and sat in a compartment with Harry, who questioned her when all she wanted was some privacy. Then, when she got off the Express, Lucius pulled her aside again.

'You haven't dumped him yet, and you slapped my son. He can't help if you're a mudblood. Meet me later tonight for your punishment.' So, her face embedded with tears she had entered the common room.

'… and well, that's it. You know the rest.' Malfoy was furious with his father. He knew he had to do something before Hermione was entirely black and blue.

'What was the punishment?'

'I didn't go for that. I was too scared. That's why, if you have noticed, I haven't walked to class alone since.'

'We had better go to bed now, we have that charms exam tomorrow. Goodnight, Hermione.'

'Good night Stupid Sam!' so she went to bed, feeling light headed and as if a hippogriff had flew off her chest.

Draco Malfoy knew he had to do something about his father. He decided to talk to him tomorrow.
