I'll Be Here.

Disclaimer: if I was an author, I would be writing books, not fanfictions.

(Hermione POV)

Hermione was just crouched in an abandoned hallway, shielding her head in her lap and sobbing her heart out. Her shirt was torn, her body was decorated with cuts and bruises and her throat was raw from screaming. Two hours ago, she was a happy virgin girl. Now she was a damaged slut. Her purity was stolen, and she was disgusted with herself and her friends. Ha! What friends they are! She rubbed her neck and wrists, where Harry had roughly held her against her will. The she burst into tears again as she felt the pain if Ron slamming into her, like a knife. It was painful. She had no one now.

Absolutely no one.

(Draco POV)

Draco had just been walking through the halls, to clear his head, when he heard something. He stopped walking and listened. It sounded like weeping. He frowned and rounded a corner where he was horrified to see Hermione Granger crouched on the ground, sobbing her eyes out. He took in her appearance: rustled hair, torn clothes and shaking shoulders. He growled. How dare someone touch his Hermione. He had loved her from the time she broke his nose. He knew that she took no crap and refused to be weak. He slowly made his way to her,nuts shoes clicking on the stone floors. She heard and her head whipped up. Her eyes widened and she whimpered, scurrying away from him. He knelt next to her and took in her tear stained face. His heart broke for her. He raised his arm to touch her shoulder and she tensed, yet he did not move his arm.

She relaxed into his touch and screwed her eyes shut, tears again cascading down her face. A gut wrenching sob escaped her mouth and he gently held her to him, his hands around her shoulders. She sobbed into his robes and snaked her arms around his waist.

"Shh…it's ok…I'm here…you're safe…" He cooed in her ear, stroking her hair. His own eyes became watery but he willed them away. He held her, never to let go. She calmed down and gently pulled away.

"Why are you helping me?" She whispered, her voice hoarse and cracking.

"Because, unlike others, I care for you. More than you know." He answered. She looked at him shocked before hugging him once again. Draco was ecstatic. It was a start from all the hateful things he said and did. He reluctantly pulled away and cupped her cheek.

"Let's get you cleaned up." He said, helping her up. She held her shirt together with one hand and slung one arm around Draco's neck since it was still hard enough for her to walk by herself. He placed his arm around her waist, trying not to touch her tender spots. He led her to the bathroom and gently set her down by the bath. He reached to take off her shirt, but she whimpered and shied away.

"I need you to let me help you." He pleaded. She reluctantly took off her shirt and Draco looked murderous. Her back was littered with bruises and scratches. He conjured up a cloth and wet it with the water from the tap. He gently rinsed her back and his heart broke when she hissed in pain. He hates seeing her like this. He was going to murder the people who had done this to his Hermione.

Woah. His Hermione? He was way to possessive.

Draco led her to her dorms and knocked on the female door. The red head answered the door, looking shocked at seeing Draco here.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She hissed.

"Just dropping off a friend." He whispered. Hermione came from behind him, still in her torn clothes and her ruffled appearance. Ginny gasped before gathering the girl in her arms.

"Who did this?" She asked harshly. She looked accusingly to Draco. "Did you do this?"

"No. He didn't." Hermione's timid voice answered. They both looks to her. "But if I told you, Ginny, you wouldn't believe me."

After Draco took his leave, Ginny carefully dragged Hermione into the dorm and sat her down.

"Who did it? And don't lie. You have no reason to." Ginny pressed. Hermione screwed her eyes shut.

"Harry and Ron."

Hey guys! So starting a new story, but I am working on Two J's, One H, don't you worry about that! Hugs, kisses, butts, nuts and coconuts.

Until next time, my pretties.
