"Please, Draco, I can't do this anymore. Just leave me alone," Hermione said trying to shake the tears away. He took a step closer and she backed up against the wall. He looked into her dark eyes and saw that she meant it.
"All right, Hermione. I'll leave, but know this," he said gently. "I'll be here for you whenever you need me…I'm not giving up on us." He reached out to wipe away her tears, but caught himself, he turned away and left. She watched him go and slid down against the wall and cried.
As she sat on the train with her friends the next day, she told them about the breakup. She told them how she felt broken after what he had done, and how she couldn't look him in the eye anymore. Harry allowed her to lean on his shoulder and rest, after not being able to sleep that night.
Draco sat on the train staring out the window, thinking about how he had screwed up. If only I could've explained that she was a cousin and nothing else, he thought. How could I've been so stupid? He got up and began to walk towards the same spot that she always sat with her friends. He froze when he saw her sleeping on the seat and Ron and Harry on the other talking. She looked peaceful, like she always did when he was nearby. And he was always ready incase she needed him to comfort her. He stood there the rest of the ride to Hogwarts, just incase she needed him, then when the train stopped he ran back to his section so she wouldn't notice him.
She got off the train and breathed in the cool night air, she somehow felt empty inside without him. Her last year of Hogwarts and already she felt like it wasn't anything like what she used to call home. A part of her was missing. She and her friends began to walk towards the carriages when Draco walked by. He froze for a second and said, "Hermione, please, can we talk?"
"Draco…no. It's over, now leave me alone." She said, pain crossing into her eyes.
"Hermione. Please…"
"No."
He reached out for her hand when Harry said, "Just stay away from her, Malfoy!"
He looked at him then back at Hermione, nodded then left. They turned to look at Hermione to make sure that she was okay, but before they could say anything, she said, "I'm fine guys, I think I'm going to walk instead. Meet you up there…"
"But Hermione…"
"I just need some time to think and be alone for awhile." They nodded then left without her.
She walked through the forest, it being a shortcut to the school. It then began to rain harder and harder, she then began to regret going alone. She could see the school as she grew closer, just then she was pulled from behind. A hand over her mouth and then she was thrown hard to the ground. She moaned in pain as she hit the corner of a root with her back. She began to get up when she was kicked in the ribs and knocked back down. She was then flipped over and the attacker was on top of her tearing off her sweatshirt. She struggled against him, but he was too strong and now had his hand around her neck choking her as he squeezed harder and harder. She was then backhanded across the face, causing her vision to slightly blur.
Draco didn't see Hermione in the Great Hall, but just figured that she was getting settled in, still tried from the trip. Little did he know that the love of his life was being raped at this very second.
Her attacker got up afterwards and straightened himself then pointed his wand at her and used the Crucio curse. She fidgeted in pain, begging him to let her go, he finally released the curse and knocked her out cold then went to the feast.
