Draco knew the second that Hermione spotted Weasley because she came to a stand still and started shaking. He looked over Hermione's shoulder and saw that Blaise was looking at her in concern. He looked back Hermione and leaned his head over to her. "You can do this Hermione. I know that it is hard but you can do it. Blaise and I are right here by your side and we're not going to let anything happen to you. Come on just take a couple of steps and we'll be at the table and able to sit down."
Hermione shook her head and then looked at both Blaise and Draco. She could see the worry and concern in both of their eyes. She took in a deep breath and let it out as she made her feet start moving again. "I'm okay you two. Just don't leave my side."
Blaise smiled as he looked at Hermione. "I knew you fancied me. Don't worry Hermione nothing could pull me from your side. I do love you so."
Hermione snorted as she let both Draco and Blaise help her sit down. "Blaise don't let your other half hear you say that. I don't really fancy making her mad at me when we just started getting along in the last couple of weeks."
This time Blaise snorted as he sat down on one side of Hermione and Draco sat down on her other side. "She would gladly share me if it was with you and you know it Hermoine."
Draco snorted. "Blaise back off while you are ahead. And Hermione we know how much you want both Blaise and me."
Hermione chuckled and relaxed even more as the easy banter between them calmed her nerves. She smiled at Pansy when she sat down across from them. She felt several pairs of eyes on her and she turned her head to looked around and she wasn't really surprised to see all of the Slytherin table staring at her, Draco, Blaise and Pansy in shock. She shook her head and turned back towards Draco, Blaise and Pansy. "Hello Pansy. How are you doing?"
Pansy chuckled as she too looked around and noticed all the Slytherin's looking at them and then turned back towards Hermione. "I'm doing good Hermione. How are you doing? And it looks as if we have shocked the whole of Slytherin. Well actually it looks as if we have shocked everyone excluding Dumbledore."
Hermione chuckled and nodded. "That it does but right now I don't really care."
Pansy nodded. "I can't really blame you there. They will all eventually get over it or they can deal with Blaise and I. Are you sure that you're okay Hermione? You are awfully pale."
Hermione sighed but nodded. "I'm fine Pansy."
Pansy nodded but didn't say anything to Hermione instead she turned towards one of the Slytherin's close to them and snapped "What in the bloody hell are you staring at?"
Hermione bit back a chuckled but tensed when she looked up at the head table. She paled slightly when she saw Snape glaring at her even though his eyes showed his shock at seeing her sitting at the Slytherin table. She swallowed hard and then looked at Dumbledore and listened as he gave his welcoming speech and introduced the new teachers for this year. She couldn't help but smile when she noticed that Remus was back as the DADA Professor again this year. She watched in silence as the first years were sorted. She let out a breath she hadn't been aware she had been holding when it was announced that it was time to eat.
She smiled at Draco and Blaise as she put food on her plate. "See I'm going to eat."
Draco smirked. "Good girl."
Hermione rolled her eyes but didn't say anything. With a little smile on her face she started eating.
One of the sixth year Slytherin's on the other side of Blaise sneered "Why is a Gryffindor sitting with us? She's going to taint us."
Draco set his fork down and stood up and walked to the boy. "I'd keep your mouth shut if I was you. Talk like that again and I'll hex you into next week."
The boy swallowed hard but nodded. He knew then that whatever the reason since Draco just stuck up for Hermione that the whole of Slytherin would also. He changed a look at Hermione and when he saw that her face was pale he felt bad. He also felt a rush of protectiveness for her. "I'm sorry Hermione."
Hermione shook her head and looked around Blaise at the boy. "It's alright Brent."
Blaise snorted and said "You may think it is Hermione but it's not. However for you we'll let it slide this time. But if Brent or any of the others dare to speak of you like that again they will get what Draco just promised Brent."
Hermione couldn't stop the slight smile that rose to her lips in thanks to both Blaise and Draco. After giving them both a smile and a slight nod she went back to eating. She could feel eyes on her and knew that they were coming from behind her but she chose not to look to see who it was.

Ron couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Hermione walk into the Great Hall with Blaise Zabini and Malfoy. His mouth dropped open in shock as Hermoine sat down at the Slytherin table. He turned back towards Harry with his eyes as black as coal but he didn't get the chance to say anything just yet because Dumbledore started talking. Once Dumbledore was finished and it was announced that they could eat he looked at Harry again with anger in his eyes. "What in the blood hell does Hermione think she is doing sitting at the Slytherin table? She belongs over here with me!"
Harry narrowed his eyes at Ron's tone of voice. Before now he had been sure that Ron was acting the way he had been as a result from the war but now he had to wonder if it was or not. "Mate she can sit where she wants to. And what do you mean she belongs to you? Have you even had any contact with 'Mione in the last two months?"
Ron glared at Harry. "I helped us win the war so of course Hermione belongs to me. Who else would she belong to? And no I haven't talked to her in the last two months. She is just upset about what happened between us. She is probably just trying to make me jealous. I'm going to go and get her now."
Harry kept his eyes narrowed as he watched Ron stand up and stomp towards where Hermione was sitting. He wasn't sure why but he too stood up and walked around the Gryffindor table and over to the Slytherin table and stood silently behind Ron. He wasn't sure why but he had a feeling he was about to learn something that he wished he had knew months ago about someone he considered one of his best mates or even a brother.

Hermione was talking to Draco, Blaise and Pansy when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned her head to see who it was and paled. "Get your hand off of me Weasley."
Ron squeezed Hermione's shoulder hard. "'Mione what in the bloody hell do you think you're doing sitting at the Slytherin table? Get your ass over to the Gryffindor table. NOW!"
Draco could feel Hermione shaking with each word Ron spoke. He turned his head even as his right hand went to his wand. "Weasley I'd get away from Hermione now if I were you."
Ron ignored Draco and pulled Hermione's shoulder back hard causing Hermione to cry out in pain. Her looked down at her and smirked. "Get up now."
Draco stood up and pointed his wand at Ron followed by Blaise, Pansy and the sixth and seventh year Slytherin's who were sitting close to them. "Leave Hermione alone Weasley. It's the last time I'm telling you."
Ron snorted but once again ignored Draco. Instead he ran his hand to the back of Hermione's neck and squeezed it before putting his hand on her rob and yanking it forcefully towards him causing Hermione to cry out in pain even louder when she fell off of the bench. "I told you to get up. Why don't you listen to me Hermione?"
Harry gasped and shouted "Ron what in the bloody hell do you think you're doing? Let go of Hermione now."
~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~
Snape was quietly talking to Dumbledore when he heard Harry shout "Ron what in the bloody hell do you think you're doing? Let go of Hermione now."
He quickly looked around and his eyebrows rose when he saw not only Draco pointing his wand at Weasley but Blaise, Pansy, Harry and several sixth and seventh year Slytherin's and even a couple sixth and seventh year Gryffindor's. He looked at Dumbledore who was also watching the scene and stood up. He wasn't surprised at all when Dumbledore and Minerva also stood up. As the made their way down the stairs their way was blocked by students who were starting to stand and move closer to see what was happening. He heard Hermione cry out in pain and he wondered what had happened to her. He started pushing his way past the students followed by Dumbledore and Minerva but he stopped when Dumbledore pulled on his robs. He looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Why did you stop me?"
Dumbledore shook his head and sighed. "We are close enough for right now. While I don't want any of the students to get hurt I'm hoping that we can find out what exactly happened to Miss Granger. I only know what Lucius told me and that wasn't much."
Minerva and Snape both sighed but nodded just as Draco said "Leave Hermione alone Weasley. Haven't you done enough damage to her for a lifetime?"
Ron turned and snarled at Draco. "Stay out of this Malfoy. This is between my woman and me."
Snape's eyebrow rose at Ron's statement but he didn't say anything. When he heard a gasp he looked over some of the student's shoulders who were standing in front of him and saw that Hermione was struggling to get to her feet. As he looked at her he saw how pale she was and he was tempted to ignore Dumbledore's request and go to her but instead he just stood there waiting to see if she was able to get up.
~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~
Hermione struggled but managed to get herself up off of the floor even though her body was racked with pain. Once she was standing even though she was scared she turned towards Ron. "I am not your woman nor will I ever be Weasley. Now get away from me and leave me the bloody hell alone."
Ron's eyes widened at Hermione's words and he brought his wand out and pointed it at her. "You are mine Hermione. Who else would want you after what we did a couple months ago?"
Hermione gasped and paled and then yelled "You made sure nobody else would want me when you not only forced me to have sex with you but when you scarred me!"
Harry who had his wand pointing towards Ron gasped and then screamed "YOU RAPED HERMOINE? HOW COULD YOU?"
