'...You know the consequences'

Oh, yes. Yes she did.

It wasn't like any other punishment she'd ever experienced.

It was a long stream of punishments. For two days, she was locked up in her room without food and drink. Then she was thrown into the cellar for the next day. When she was removed, she was whipped and beaten every which way. Her clothes removed, until, finally, she was thrown into a bloody heap on the floor. The next day she was raped continuously. For hours on the go, her parents would torture her. Taking turns or both at the same time. Then she would be thrown into her room again and was starved for one last day. Then it was over. Until the next time at least.

With a pop, she arrived outside The Burrow. Finally, she was free. She could see her boyfriend at last. They had been having sex for a year now, but with him, it was something beautiful. He loved her. And she him. With thoughts of him still lingering in her mind, she entered the kitchen and was greeted happily by Mrs. Weasley. The plump woman drew Hermione up in a huge bear hug.

"Oh, thank goodness there's another girl here at last. Ginny and I were beside ourselves! Go up and see her dear," Mrs. Weasley said into Hermione's hair. Hermione retreated from the hug, grabbed her stuff and ran upstairs to Ginny's bedroom. When she got there, she found her boyfriend, her best friend and her secret lover. Only one person missing she thought. Harry.

That night, Hermione heard a tap at the attic window. She clambered out of bed, wiping sleep from her eyes. Looking out of the window, she saw a beautiful white owl. Hedwig! She opened the window silently and the owl fluttered in. Hermione grabbed the letter in the bird's beak and as the bird flew off again, she read the letter.

Dearest Hermione,

Meet me in the garden tonight at 12:35.

Love, Him.

Hermione squealed and looked at her watch. It was 12:30. She grabbed her dressing gown and brushed her hair then she apparated to her lover.
