The first time Draco had ever been afraid for her that Hermione remembers was at the manor. In his own home, his family around him. The perfect pureblood, gazing down at the filthy mudblood whore, and looking so horrified by what his aunt was doing to her. She remembers the tears glinting in his eyes, and she remembers hating him for daring to cry them. But even back then, so long ago when she'd been Granger and he'd been Malfoy and they had despised each other, he'd still been afraid for her. He'd still cared enough to let her escape, despite the consequences he knew would be inflicted upon him for his failure to bring Hermione to Voldemort.
