A Single Tear
Chapter 3
"DRACO!" she screamed, they had come, to destroy them, to get the information they wanted. She screamed and screamed as she watched him being tortured. She couldn't bear this she screamed again so loud that another one them turned on her, "Crucio!" the figure yelled. Then and there she experienced the worst pain she had ever felt. "Tell me where it is!" they screamed at him. "I'll never tell you, you took over my life for years even threatened to kill me, but you just couldn't could you? There is no way I will ever tell you anything, ANYTHING!" he yelled to them. "Well how about we torture you r little miss. mudblood over here hmm?" "Crucio!" "AHHH Draco, I love you Draco, AHHH!" she screamed as they cast curse after curse upon her. They turned to her and asked her "Where is it?" "I don't know, I don't know! AHHHHH!" there was another scream.
They took a knife and cut a deep line in her arm, then another and another, starting to form a letter. They kept asking her where it was but her only reply was I don't know. She shrieked in pain and when the person got up she silently wept, single tears flowing down her face looking at her arm, in her own crimson red blood spelled out the word 'mudblood'.
"How dare you touch her! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!" Draco shouted. Hermione lay on the floor in pain Draco could not handle it he had to help her.
"I'm going to ask you one more time boy, where is it." It wasn't a question it was a statement meaning tell me or we'll hurt you both.
The one with the knife walked over to him and made a deep, crisp, singular cut. "tell me where it is and I will stop." They told him, but he refused to tell them.
More cuts were made in Draco's arm, and he howled in pain, Hermione wanted to help but felt to weak to even whisper. Sometime later the man got up and etched in to Draco's arm were cut similar to Hermione's, but instead in his own crimson red blood spelled out 'blood-traitor' a single tear slipped from his eye, he looked at Hermione and tried to smile but was in too much pain, he mouthed the words "I love you." And she did the same.
They both woke in a cellar, no light no windows, just silence. "Hermione, are you okay?" Draco moaned. "I'm fine Draco, are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine I guess, but I'm sorry that this is happening to you because of me." "Draco it's okay." She told him. She then crawled over to him and gave him a long hug and a kiss.
When four death eaters burst into the cellar. "Awe how sweet." One of them said. "Get up." said another. They dragged Draco away from Hermione across to the other side of the cellar. "Tell me where is the wand!" One of them yelled at him. "I'll never tell you, never. Torture me all you want I will never tell you." Draco said. "Well I guess we'll grant his wishes then wont we." Then suddenly two of the death eaters walked up to Draco and Yelled "Crucio!" "AHHH!" It was worse than anything he had ever felt before. "DRACO!" he heard Hermione scream.
When they finally decided to stop Hermione went over to Draco and helped him sit up. "Draco when they were torturing you I couldn't look and I saw a passage in the corner do you think we can escape?" Hermione asked. "I don't know but we can try they won't let up Hermione they are just going to make it worse."
She showed him the passage and they crawled into it, it was a short passage but they soon saw daylight , when they got out they were in the middle of the forbidden forest. This was part of the forest Hermione knew so she led Draco back to Hogwarts.
When they got inside they collapsed they heard someone yell for Madam Pomfrey or any other teacher, they both passed out and woke in the hospital wing. "Draco, Draco, where are you Draco?" She kept saying his name with no reply, Madam Pomfrey came over to her and told her that he was still sleeping and that she should rest, she lay her head back on the pillow and fell asleep.
