Starting Over

"Oh Harry, I'm so sorry." Hermione sobbed into his chest.

A few minutes before hand she had burst in to his flat, crying, with red marks covering her arms, face, legs and the rest of her body. Her clothes had been ripped and torn to shreds and she was holding a broken wand in her shaking hand.

"Hermione, it's ok." Harry said soothingly rubbing her back lightly, "It's ok." He said as Hermione placed her head on his shoulder. They stayed sitting on Harry's sofa for hours as Hermione cried and Harry comforted her, just by being there. "Hermione, who did this to you?"

"P…Peter." She sobbed harder.

"Pettigrew?" Harry asked Hermione shook her head.

"No he was my boyfriend." Hermione hiccupped trying to stop her tears.

"You were dating Ron's pet rat?" Harry asked a little scared of what her answer might be.

"No! My ex-boyfriend's name is or rather was Peter Bundi."

"Hermione what happened, start from the beginning." He placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Ok, here we go. I was walking home from 711, I was taking a shortcut through an ally way. He saw me and came up to me, we were still friends, and he walked me home. I trusted him to leave, forgetting he never gave me his key to my flat back, when I closed the door and walked to my bedroom. I started to get ready for bed and I heard a door creek open, thinking it was the wind again. I ignored it, so I was starting to fall asleep when Peter came into the room. I thought he was a muggle, well I was wrong. He used The Cruciatus Curse and The Imperius Curse with my wand and he forced me to have sex with him and he, well did this." She gestured to her bruises and cuts all over her body, "While he was punching me, he broke my wand, but apparently he wanted to make a clean job of it and he taped my wand and attempted to kill me but the wand backfired and killed him instead. So I ran here and here we are." Hermione explained, "Um Harry do you mind if I get a glass of water?"

"I'll get it for you." Harry said and walked in to the kitchen. A few minutes later he walked back to her with a glass of water and Tonks.

"Harry why is she here?" Hermione asked.

"Hermione dark magic was used against you, you were raped, and look at yourself." Tonks sat down next to her. "Now listen to me and do not protest it'll just make my job that much harder."

"Fine." Hermione muttered, as Tonks waved her wand over Hermione's torso casting a morning after spell on her to make sure nothing would happen, she also cast a spell to clean her cuts and erase her bruises.

"Now to the paperwork." Tonks started to pull rolls of parchment out of her wand and she stared to fill them out. "Alright now I need that wand from you, Hermione. I'm sorry but it's evidence."

"I understand, Tonks." Hermione muttered handing over her wand.

"Well I'll get going and I will see the two of you soon." Tonks said and disapparated

Hermione moved in with Harry in the following week. Sooner or later one thing led to another and Harry and Hermione started dating.
