Pt. 2 to Secret. Once again the idea is from @JulzLovDraco4Eva. This one didn't link for some reason, it did in part one. This half much more than half.

Their dance of love had been a well-kept secret. Later in the year, Dumbledore had asked her to keep an eye on Draco, she had quickly accepted and the very next day Draco had the incident with Buckbeak. That night she visited him in the hospital wing, it was then that they made it official, boyfriend, girlfriend, that sort of thing. Of course, they were still a secret but a secret with a title. 

Three blissful years few by and Draco had a new problem. Well, a problem he always knew he had, but one he had to face now. His parents, mainly his father, were pressuring him to become a death eater.

-------------

"Draco," Lucius glared. "It's time for you to become a man," 

Bellatrix giggled. "Yes Draco, prove to us you are worthy to be the heir, "

He wasn't even sure why Bellatrix was here, his mother was not close with her sister. Either way, she was here, cackling, which freaked him out. "All we need is your arm," 

He relented, backing away, which backed him into the wall of their drawing-room. "Can't I wait till a graduate?" 

"The war is growing Draco," His father said shaking his head. "It's now," 

He looked out the window, he was scared. Bellatrix was a better Legimence than he was an Occumence. He made sure to turn his face icy cold, they couldn't know. 

"What is holding you back," Lucius snapped, he had become impatient. "Whatever it is, it doesn't matter, the Lord is the only thing that matters," 

Draco shook his head. "No," 

That simple word, when many would understand, it didn't exist in this family. 

Bellatrix's face fell, almost pouting. "No? Then I'll pull the answer out of you," 

He could feel her attack his mind. Draco snapped his eyes shut as if it would prevent her from getting to what he feared. 

Suddenly her face was enraged, he couldn't see it, but he knew it as she shrieked. 

"What," His father asked, cold eyes snapping to his sister-in-law. 

"Draco has a girlfriend," She cooed, grabbing Draco's jaw. 

"Who," 

She cackled, by now Draco had his eyes open. "The mudblood bitch, one of the golden girls," 

She threw the boy to the ground.

----------------------

When the year started again he didn't tell Hermione what had happened. He knew she wouldn't look at him any different, but he didn't want her to worry. Some nights when it was them hidden away she would trace his death eater mark, telling him how it wasn't his fault. A month into the school year he showed her his task, the vanishing cabinet. He didn't want to do it, but she told him its ok, she understood, and hopefully they would too. When it's just them it felt like nothing else mattered, he just had to hold onto that. 

The year progressed and so did the vanishing cabinet. Draco tried to slow it as much as possible, telling his father it was hard work and it would take a while. But they began to get impatient. As time passed even the first years knew something was gravely wrong, though it wasn't said out loud, the gloom was a layer of fog. 

In the spring the four were looking for Horcruxes, meanwhile, Draco had been called home, the vanishing cabinet on pause. At home Draco was under careful watch, never to be alone, even at night. They weren't risking him escaping, they knew he wasn't entirely loyal. He could only use a specific bathroom since it had no windows, and one of the death eaters always waited outside.

---------------------

It was around Easter when things turned. Harry had just triggered the Taboo curse on Voldemort's name and the four were surrounded in seconds. They each gave fake names, Harry as Vernon Dursley, Ron as Barney Weasley, Hermione Penelope Clearwater, and Evangeline as Kate Bishop. (Yeah I did it.)

Although when identified by Draco, Bellatrix knew better and took Hermione on her own. The other three fought hard, but these were teens against much more powerful wizards. They were cast to the cellar while Bellatrix had her 'fun'. 

Knowing their relationship they tied Draco up, they forced him to watch every second of it, not even letting him close his eyes. 

"This is what happens when you fuck up Draco," His father growled as Hermione was being crucioed. "Don't act like the vanishing cabinet is that hard," 

The rest could hear her screams all the way in the cellar, pounding against the door, to no avail. 

What seemed like hours, and probably was, they let Hermione have a break. Although she looked physically the same her inside burned like the sun. She couldn't breathe but she could hear Bellatrix taunting Draco as he cried, his shirt soaked as the couple got tortured. "Please," He would say now and then. But that would only fuel the angry witch.

-------------------

Hermione wasn't sure what was going on but she felt herself be lifted as Draco was still sitting in the chair, tied up. "Sweet sweet girl, it's just too bad it ends here," Bellatrix laughed. 

Hermione saw a glint out of the corner of her eye and tried to get out of her grip. Suddenly her feet gave out as pain erupted on her forearm. She didn't know what the insane woman was doing but it hurt too much to look at. Draco screamed but it sounded so far away. She looked into his eyes, tortured, unable to do anything. She looked at what Bellatrix had been doing.

To her horror, it was that awful term. 'Mudblood' had been messily carved into her arm. 

"You will always have a reminder of what you are," Bellatrix said standing up, not without kicking the defenseless girl. Suddenly Hermione heard a struggle, she wasn't sure of what was going on but she heard a thud, a rather loud one. Then more fighting with much swearing involved. Hermione closed her eyes as she was getting picked up, gently this time so it had to be Draco.

He buried his head in her hair. "I'm so, so sorry," 

She could feel Draco moving about. Alohamora was whispered and a door swung open. 

----------------

Hermione was completely knocked out when her friends were set free. Eva blanched at the sight of her best friend. "What did you do," 

"It was my aunt," Draco pleaded as he searched for their wands, the three hot on his tail. He wasn't moving very fast with Hermione in his arms though. When he found them he handed everyone their respective wands. It was then that Bellatrix had caught up with them, Draco's parents too.

"Draco," Bellatrix called catching everyone's attention. But her attention moved to something else. Dobby had arrived to rescue Harry and company. 

"Dobby," Lucius snarled. 

"Dobby has come to set master free," The elf cheered. Everyone grabbed onto Dobby as he apparated away, not without Bellatrix throwing a knife, killing the elf on the other side.

They walked silently back to Hogwarts, getting Hermione to the hospital ward as soon as possible. Once they got back and got Hermione help it was time to answer some questions. The three had agreed to wait for Hermione to wake up but they were getting impatient.  At the moment Ron and Draco were staring each other down, the other two rather nervously watching on. Draco who had been holding Hermione's hand looked away as he felt a squeeze.

"Poppy!" He called. The witch came over as Hermione opened her eyes. All five looked expectantly at Hermione. 

Her eyes darted between her friends, her boyfriend, and Madam Poppy. "What happened,"

"Well dear, Bellatrix got a hold of you," Poppy relied as if telling the weather. Eva grabbed Hermione's forearm to show her what had happened. Her eyes widened as the memories came back. 

'Mudblood' had been carved into her arm. Hermione at this point remembered everything, the pain, Draco's screaming, everything but the departure. 

"How did we escape?" 

"Dobby, but he died as well," Harry explained. 

Ron was ready for some questions. "What's going on with Draco," 

"Oh...." Hermione winced. "Well that's a long story," 

"We have time," Eva said pointed. 

"Well remember in first year when you told me not to look at Draco?

Eva's eyebrows raised. "Yeah,"

"Well, I didn't follow you orders," Hermione continued. 

Draco who hadn't been told this part was understandably confused. "Mia, what are you saying," 

"Well on our first night, after we arrived I had been staring at you, but Evangeline said to stay away from you," 

Eva threw her head back and laughed a hearty laugh. "Well, I can't blame you, he's not bad on the eyes," 

Harry laughed too. "If only Cedric heard that," 

"Oh we have conversations on who is hottest, I think Draco is in the top 3," Eva said making the room erupt in laughter as Drac blushed.

"Why?" Ron asked, they were severity off topic now. 

"Well, sometimes we get bored," Eva shrugged. "Back to those two," 

"Right, well Draco had eyes for me too," Hermione blushed and squeezed Draco's hand. 

Draco took over. "I didn't say anything because of my family, pureblood ideas and all that bullshit. They would have killed both of us," 

"They almost did," Hermione muttered. 

"So in third year we both wanted to research Occumency, for the same reason, each other," Draco continued. "We ran into each other, choosing the same night to get the book from the restricted section,"

"Then we confessed feeling for each other," Hermione added. "But we didn't make it official after the buckbeak incident," 

"Thats the gist of it," 

"Alright," Eva nodded accepting their story. 

"I don't exactly like this but I accept it," Ron said. 

"I've seen what your family does to you," Harry said. "And I know you are nothing like them," 

"Welcome to the golden group," Eva finished. 

--------------------

Well @JulzLovDraco4Eva I hope this was what you hoped for. I tried to stay as much with your request as possible. 

Also guys I need a better name for their group, something with golden but not golden group, suggestions would be great.
