Also a little note before I start this chapter, I hope you guys enjoy and please do Review. It let's me know if I'm doing something right or wrong even! Some nice constructive criticism would be great! Also characters may be a little OCC but oh well it's my fic and I like the way I've written it! And sorry if this chapter may be a little short, it's finals week for me so I'm a little preoccupied with that haha but school's almost over and then I can focus on writing more!

=============================================================================================

Hermione didn't dare look back for Malfoy, she was too afraid he would stare at her with a look of disgust, I mean being saved by a insolent mudblood, how despicable! She decided that if she pretended to stay behind and help Hagrid clean up, Malfoy would be gone before she turned around for sure...wouldn't he? She sighed at her predicament and silently cleaned up some of the papers that had been strewn about all over the ground when everyone had jumped away in fear of Buckbeak. When she heard a shuffling of feet behind her, she found that her fears had been realized. Buckbeak quickly caught wind that Malfoy was still sitting there and his eyes snapped up to meet him. "Do ye just like to provoke the beast Malfoy?" Hagrid roared. Hermione sighed and turned around to face Malfoy. He looked slightly pink and his eyes were darting to look anywhere except Hermione's. Buckbeak's beak appeared over shoulder as she stared at the oddly placed Malfoy. Hermione placed her hand on Buckbeak's beak and gave him a calming touch. "Don't worry Buckbeak, the mean old Malfoy isn't going to hurt you." Malfoy turned a little more red and looked up into Hermione's eyes. "Um...Granger, I just wanted to tell you something." Malfoy said as Hermione's jaw dropped. Malfoy looked nervous to actually speak to her. The Draco Malfoy was nervous to talk to her? "Alright." She answered, a little weary of being close to Malfoy again. She stepped away from Buckbeak and walked over to Malfoy.

They walked together silently for a moment, out of the forest. Malfoy turned and his eyes instantly landed on Hermione's and she gasped in shock. His eyes...she had never noticed before, but they sparkled...they were beautiful. Wait, what? Draco Malfoy's eyes we're not beautiful! She shook her head and looked slightly away from him." What is it you want Malfoy?" She asked. She saw all the questions Malfoy wanted to ask, flash across his face. Why had Hermione saved him from Buckbeak? That mostly likely was the one on the very top of his mind. But that's not what left his mouth. "I'm sorry." That was the last thing Hermione Granger would have ever thought she'd hear coming sincerely out of Draco Malfoy's mouth. But she wasn't just going to let him get away with just that. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Malfoy. "Sorry for what?" His eyes widened and returned them to searching the floor around him. Hermione growled and advanced towards him. "Did you really think you could just waltz up to me and apologize without owing up to all the things you have done!" She pointed her finger onto Malfoy's chest and gave him the meanest look she had ever given anyone. "Know this Mister Draco Malfoy, I am like a hippogriff, I do not forgive and I do not forget!" She turned away from him, her hair flicking away from her as she stalked back up to the castle.

At dinner that night, Hermione sat at the end of the table by herself. She felt alone without Harry. For goodness sakes she would probably even enjoy Ron's company right now. Her food that she had placed before didn't seem to look appetizing to her at all. She sighed and looked around the Great Hall. Her eyes connected almost instantly with the same blue/silver ones that seemed to have been staring at her all day. She quickly looked back down at her soup and took a few spoonfuls, before she found the all too familiar feeling of tears stinging at her eyes. She truly was alone right now.

She watched the Great Hall slowly empty, her eyes still completely stuck on her now cold soup. She then heard the wood on the bench opposite of her creak and she instinctively looked up. "Please just leave me alone Malfoy." She sounded utterly defeated. "I will leave you alone once you let me explain myself." Her eyes snapped to his." For the last time Malfoy, I am done! Completely and utterly done! This damn war continues to linger on me and I just want it all to go away! I can't take it anymore!" Her voice range out amidst the empty hall. She quickly looked around to make sure that no one had heard her little outburst. She let her voice drop and whispered to him," Besides, like I said before I have no real want or need to make amends with you Malfoy! I was tortured in your home, while you sat there and watched! Do you think I didn't see you there? You proved what kind of wizard you are, what kind of wizard you always will be." Draco scowled." What the hell was I supposed to do Granger?! Yes excuse me auntie dearest while I save Potter and his mudblood friends while you let Voldemort kill my mother. You don't think Voldemort had things held over my head too Granger? I... wanted to help you...I did, but once this mark was seared onto my arm there was nothing more I could do. You realize if I would have helped you, he would have been able to find me. He would have killed me...he would have killed all of us." Draco shoved his face into his hands, trying to bury the pain of the memories away. "Do you think it was easy living in that hell hole? My own home invaded by the world's most feared wizard. The continuous mind inspections, and the constant tingle of the cruciatus curse. I would have done anything to just get away from it all, but I knew what was at stake. However, I also knew what would have been at stake for you if you would have been held captive in my manor. That's why I let Potter disarm me. I couldn't let that happen...not to you. Especially after I had already done so much to hurt you." Hermione gasped and tried to find his sparkling hidden eyes. He lied and lost his wand...for her? Why? For what reason would Draco Malfoy have to protect her? He hated her, there was no way he was telling the truth. But then she heard it, the very faint sound of silent sniffles coming from the once strong boy she had known.
Hermione is one of the few 7th years that is coming back to Hogwarts to finish her last year she is more than unhappy to see that Draco Malfoy has also decided to continue his schooling.Hermione doesn't believe that Draco has changed but things may change when a certain hippogriff, who's been permitted back onto the grounds, forgives Draco.Hippogriffs never forgive and never forget.
