Disclaimer: So… I am sitting here at the computer typing… because it is raining… I was going to go outside and do stuff today with one of my roommates but then it started raining and we are supposed to get tornados. Now does that sound like JK Rowling, who is in fact the owner of Harry Potter? Well I suppose she could be sitting at her computer typing… but doubtful that she is in Terre Haute, Indiana waiting for a tornado. I also doubt that she stayed up all night last night typing out a paper over reading programs for ENG 310!

A/N: Hey ya'll! Yes, I'm a hick… I know. But anyways… I was wondering if anyone wanted to be a beta-reader? My sister usually does it but she doesn't always have access to a computer when I need my chapters edited! Reply in a review and tell me if ya do! Thanks!

Innocence Gone

Chapter3: Revelations

Hermione woke up to the clanking of dishes from the kitchen. She stood up and walked into the kitchen because she was suddenly very hungry. Everyone stopped talking as she walked in.

Harry broke the silence. "Hey Mione."

"Hi Harry."

"Sit down Hermione and help yourself." Molly Weasley said as another plate and chair floated to the table. "Your parents sent your trunk here and said you could stay here for the rest of summer break if you want to."

"Thank you. I will if that's all right with everyone."

"Of course it is. Isn't it kids?" Mrs. Weasley asked. There were many "yes's" and "of course's" said.

"You are always welcome here Hermione." Fred stated.

"Thank you. Throughout lunch Hermione kept glancing at Ron who was staring at her but would glance away when she looked at him. After everyone finished with lunch, Hermione followed Ginny upstairs to her room.

"You can sleep here. I put your trunk under the bed. You can change into your clothes, I'm sure you don't want to be in my pajamas anymore." Ginny stated.

"Thank you Ginny." She opened up her trunk and found a light blue tee-shirt from her last year in muggle school, and some jeans. She stripped off her pajama top and Ginny gasped. Hermione turned around holding her shirt to her chest to see Ginny staring at her bruises.

"Do you hurt a lot?"

"I'm sore. But it hurts more on the inside than the outside. Oh Ginny, I don't know what I'm going to do." She exclaimed as she pulled her tee-shirt on. "I feel so different, like I'll never be clean again. And Ron was ignoring me during lunch. I just don't know what to do."

"Hermione. I'm not going to pretend I know what you are going through. I know everything must seem different but we are all here for you. You may have changed because of an unfortunate experience, but you are still our friend Hermione. We are here for you no matter what happened or happens. I think you should go talk to Harry and Ron though, they are worried about you."

"I know. They need to know what happened. I suppose I can go talk to them now." Hermione pulled her jeans on and brushed her hair back into a clip. "Thank you Ginny, for everything." She walked out the door and walked to Ron's room to knock on the door.

"Come in." Ron yelled. Hermione came in the room and sat down beside Harry on his bed.

"Hi guys. Can I talk to you?"

"Of course Hermione." Harry replied.

"I bet you guys are wondering what happened to me." Ron looked up sharply from the blanket he was picking at and then looked back down.

"You don't need to tell us Mione. But if it makes you feel better…" Harry faded off.

"I do need to tell you. I can't keep secrets from my best friends. It all started with my family's reunion. It is so hard to keep it from your family that you are a witch. I was getting so tired of trying to hide it, so I went on a walk. My wand was locked in my hotel room, so when two men cornered me in an alley, I couldn't do anything." Hermione pulled her knees up to her chest. "I couldn't get away and then they ripped my clothes off and… and… they… they…they... r-r-raped me." She started crying uncontrollably.

Harry reached out and wrapped his arms around her. "No matter what happens to you we are still your friends. Everything will work out. Right Ron?" Hermione looked over at Ron who was staring out the window not doing anything. She jumped up and ran out of the room. "Ron! What are you doing? Hermione was hurt and all you can do is ignore her?"

Ron slammed his fist in the wall and laid down on his bed his arms behind his head looking up at the ceiling. "Why did this have to happen to her? She would have been fine if she had her wand!"

"I don't know Ron, but you just made her feel worse than she already did about it. You should go talk to her."

"I wouldn't know what to say."

"Just say what comes to you."

"I'm going to end up making things worse." Ron mumbled as he got off his bed and walked into the hallway to Ginny's room to knock on her door.

"What do you want?" Ginny asked.

"I need to talk to Hermione."

"Well she isn't in here. I would try by the pond. She goes there when she needs to think."

"All right. Thanks Ginny." Ron walked down the stairs and outside to the pond. "Hey Mione."

"Go away."

Ron sat down on the grass beside her and wrapped his arms around her. She turned in his arms and returned the embrace. They sat there for a while before they let go.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there."

Hermione looked up at him shocked. "Ron, why would you have been there?

"I don't know. I just wish I had been there. I could have stopped anything from happening."

"Thanks Ron. I wish you had been there too." Hermione said sadly.

"It just makes me so mad that something like this would happen to you. You are a sweet, smart girl, and a witch!" He slammed his fist down on the ground. "Ow!"

"What happened to your hand?" Hermione asked as she raised it to examine it.

Ron looked down at his knuckles with a sheepish look on his face. "Oh… I made a new hole in the wall in my bedroom."

Hermione looked up with a look of sad happiness on her face because she knew he cared. "Come on." She took his handand led him to his mothers healing wand.
