Chapter 3. Saved By…. The Mark?

Hermione was dumbfounded that someone could enjoy hurting anyone as much as Draco Malfoy did. He was having quite a time beating the living hell out of her. She tried not to give him the satisfaction of hearing her scream even though she realized this just made him hit her harder. Eventually after a particularly nasty kick to her injured side she let out a little whimper.

"Am I finally getting through to you Mudblood?" Draco Malfoy asked her.

He was quite annoyed that he had to waste his energy on beating her when she obviously wasn't going to say the whereabouts of the bloody Order. Stupid loyal bitch. He was very annoyed indeed. He had spent the entire afternoon ruthlessly kicking and slapping her, he had seen her spit up blood since 2 o' clock, and she had still failed to utter a word, not a single complaint. There was no 'please stop' no 'ill do anything' and it was starting to downright piss him off. 'I wanted her to beg, to cry. Why isn't this working?' he thought. Then it hit him. Perhaps this type of abuse wasn't going to get through to her; maybe he had to use her in another way. Perhaps he had to make the clean little Gryffindor a little dirtier….

"Granger, I have an idea."

And for the first time Hermione Granger had been in the presence of Draco Malfoy she was scared, not because of the way he said those words but because of the way he slowly looked at her. He seemed to be examining her with some kind of expression she wasn't familiar with. It wasn't the proverbial egotistical, condescending look that went along with Draco Malfoy's arrogant face; it was more of a look of hunger, almost lust. Then Hermione realized what his plan was, his idea, he called it. Draco Malfoy was going to rape her, it was this or she told him how to locate the order and kill the love of her life…… she couldn't, no wouldn't tell him. No matter what.

Draco walked towards Hermione in a quick stride; he grabbed her by her upper arm and pulled her out of the cell. She saw him flick his wand at the door (no doubt magically locking it) and she tried to run, but his arms were too strong. He looked at her like he was a maniac possessed by a demon. He grabbed her face and roughly kissed her, she felt him bite her lip. She knew this was going to hurt. Draco Malfoy couldn't, no wouldn't be gentle with her. 'Well', she thought 'I'm not just gonna let him rape me with out a fight' and with that she slapped him across the face. This startled him and he loosened his grip, giving her a chance to run. She ran across his office and thought 'Great what now? God think you idiot!' She glanced at Draco and saw he wasn't chasing her, in fact he was standing in the same place he was when she hit him. He actually looked amused!

"Where are you going Granger? There is no way out of this office except for the door I happen to be standing by, and even if you did get past me its sealed shut with a spell I am positive you don't know." And then he laughed a cold, malicious laugh that was so threatening Hermione let out a whimper. She turned her head and saw his desk. She studied it, 'Maybe I can find something to stab him with….' Then she saw it, his wand, laying right there on the desk…. She quickly looked at him and noticed he saw it too, they both lunged for it but Draco was way too far away to get there first. 'Yes' she thought, 'I've outsmarted him!' as soon as she placed her fingers on his wand she heard the words "Expelliarmus!" she almost chuckled, then she realized the wand was flying out of her hand! She looked over at Draco, completely bewildered as she saw him twiddling the wand in between his fingers. 'Oh my god,' she thought 'how in the hell-'

Draco's words pierced through her thoughts.

"Don't hurt yourself Granger, that's what us Dark Wizards like to call wandless magic. My father taught me two years ago. Now Granger what were you going to do with me once you got my wand, huh?"

"I'll tell you what I was gonna do, I was gonna remove your dick Malfoy, well what you have of one…."

This enraged Draco more than anything she had said all day, how dare she insult his… ahem… manhood.

"Well Granger, I hate to inform you that you were unsuccessful. And trust me; I plan to show exactly how much of a dick I have…. I believe you are going to regret that comment you just made."

'gulp' Hermione was seriously worried as Draco advanced towards her once again, this time faster and with the look of lust gone, replaced by pure hatred. This was going to be terrible. Tears already filled Hermione's eyes as Draco wrapped a handful of hair around his fist and slammed her up against the wall. He locked her lips in another, painful kiss, and she yelped and gasped for air as she felt his tongue exploring the inside of her mouth.

Just as Draco started to shove his hand up her thigh, he recoiled in pain.

"Ow fuck!"

Draco groped at his arm and Hermione saw his dark mark burning a disgusting ember red, like hot steel as he pulled up his sleeve. She slid to the floor silently thanking god. Draco looked positively disgusted at his misfortune.

"Alright bitch, get up"

Hermione slowly stood up and felt relief rush over her as Draco shoved her back in the cell. 'I suppose this is better than rape'.

"Don't get too comfortable Mudblood, I will be back from my meeting shortly," he chuckled "then we will continue….."
