hello everyone
what the hell happened in that chapter? NO!!!! HERMIONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Through Ron's Eyes
"HERMIONE!" someone was screaming. Hermione's eyes opened slightly, but only saw ruble around her and on top of her, "HERMIONE! WHERE ARE YOU?"
Who could be calling her? Who possibly survived? Maybe it was Harry coming abck to save her or maybe it was the dreaded Angel of Death coming to take her away. It did not matter to her, she attempted to call out for help, but for some reason her voice would not come out. Her voice was caught in her throat and she could not yell for help.
"HERMIONE, ARE YOU ALIVE?" asked the voice again, "BANG ON SOMETHING TO TELL ME YOU'RE ALIVE!"
That Hermione could do. She picked up a nearby metal rod and knocked it against the ground and the person came running to her aid. Surprisingly the person who rescued her was not Harry, but Ron.
"Oh my god," he siad hugging her, "Are you alright?"
She pointed to her throat and tried to tell him that she could not talk to him which now brought her to tears.
"Oh sorry," Ron said hugging her, "We will get your voice back I promise. Does anything seem broken or injured severely?"
Hermione looked all over her body, but only burns seemed to appear on her body. She shook her head no and Ron helped Hermione out of the ruble, but even then Hermione attempted to speak. Still, nothing would come out.
"We need to get you out of here," Ron said taking her arm, but before they disapparated Hermione ran to where she was had been buried and started to search for Harry, but she found nothing.
"Harry isn't here," Ron said as Hermione started to cry. Ron took Hermione in his arms and disapparated to his house.
"Are you alright?" Mrs. Weasley asked as Ron brought her into the house.
"Let her breathe," Ron said taking Hermione up to his bedroom, "I'm going to get a rag and water and clean you up alright?" Hermione nodded her head as Ron went out of the room and Ginny came in.
"Are you ok?" Ginny asked hugging Hermione, "I heard what happened. You must've been really brave to go into that burning house to save Harry. Where is Harry?"
Hermione threw her arms in the air trying to explain to Ginny how the house exploded and how Voldemort came into the house before the "bomb" went off and all of it brought Ginny to tears. Then she tried to talk and explain to Ginny that Harry may be dead.
"H-H-Harry i-i-i-is d-d-dead," Hermione managed to say. Ron walked into the room and was amazed that Hermione could speak. She started to cough and several black objects flew out of her mouth and onto the floor, most of it ash from the smoke. Her lungs and throat were so damaged by the smoke she did not talk like a normal human being, but she finally had her voice back.
"Can you heal it for me?" Hermione asked in a raspy voice and pointing to her throat.
"I'm not sure," Ron said taking out his wand, but Hermione shook her head.
"No offense, but I need a professional," she said as Ginny laughed. Suddenly a figure apparated into the room and startled them all.
"Malfoy?" Ron asked as Hermione nearly jumped on top of him with a hug.
"I heard what happened are you alright?" Draco asked Hermione. Hermione showed him some minor burns on her body, but she shook her head and said, "My voice is a little messed up, but I am fine."
"Thank goodness," Malfoy said as Ron and Ginny stepped back and looked at each other in amazement.
"When did you start talking to him?" Ron asked folding his arms.
"After my parents' funeral," Hermione said as Ron gave him a glare that was not of Draco's liking.
"Do you have a problem, Weasley?" Draco asked pushing Ron out of the room.
"Yeah, I have a problem with you dating Hermione," Ron said shoving Draco back. Draco fell onto the floor and Ron laughed, "That's what happens when you mess with Ronald Weasley." It was at this point at things got out of control. Draco got up and jumped on top of Ron and started punching him across the face. Hermione tried to pull them apart, but they would not budge and then the worst happened; things got so out of control that both Ron and Draco rolled down the stairs and hit the landing so hard that Ron and Draco wound up with bleeding heads and bruised knuckles.
"Stop this now!" Hermione yelled as she and Ginny ran down the stairs and watched as Ron threw himself onto Draco and they both went through a glass door and into the backyard, but this time neither of them got back up. Hermione and Ginny ran threw the broken door and aided the boys, but they were unconscious.
"You take Draco and I will take Ron," Hermione said to Ginny as they dragged them to opposite sides of the house.
"Where am I?" Ron asked later that night. Hermione was wiping sweat off of Ron's forehead as he laid still on his bed.
"You are in your room," Hermione said as Ron felt his head and it was still bleeding, "You need to rest."
"Where is Malfoy?" Ron asked angrily trying to get up and run out of the room.
"He's in the other room with your sister," Hermione said as Ron got up and ran angrily to the door, but Hermione sealed it with her wand, "You will sit down or I will knock you out again."
"If he does anything to my sister..."
"He will do nothing," Hermione said as Ron tried to get to the door again, but this time Ron was prepared. Hermione tried to block his way, but Ron deflected her spell and ran out the door.
Ron knocked on the door to the room with Ginny and Malfoy, but no one answered.
"Ginny? Malfoy?" Ron asked banging on the door, but by this point Hermione came out and dragged him into the room and shut the door again and locked it with a very heavy charm that only she could undo.
Meanwhile in Ginny and Malfoy's room, Malfoy had Ginny on the floor in fear about what he was going to do to her.
"If I expose myself everyone will still love me," Ginny said getting to her feet and throwing a wad of cash at Draco, "if you expose me, then everyone will hate you."
"You're willing to expose yourself to save who?" Draco laughed and walked out. Ginny had told no one about her prostitution: she did not dare tell her family, Hermione, or even her brother, but if Draco Malfoy threatened to kill her, threaten to take away her men, and threaten to kill his own girlfriend she had to tell someone even if that meant being scrutinized the rest of her life.
