Chapter Four- Taken

The next morning I woke up warm again thanks to Draco. I loved sleeping beside someone after all these years of sleeping alone after being raped. The least they could have done was cuddle with me when they were finished with me. I was cleaning cum out of me at ten years old…how sick was that?

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I was out of toilet paper, so I reached under the cabinet, and then I paused. Tampons. When was the last time I used those? Just last month right? So it should be soon. Shit. It's been two months.

I finished going to the bathroom and saw Draco was still asleep. I ducked out of the room once dressed and went down to the infirmary. I saw no one in there. It was probably too early for her to have come. Thank god. I went and rummaged through the many drawers until I found a pregnancy test. It was a blood test. I opened it up and pricked my finger and let the blood drop onto the paper.

Fucking shit. Pregnant. I was only 15. My father and Mother had me on the pill, but once I killed them, I didn't have access to it anymore. They had a potion here in the wizarding world, but it was only for adults. I didn't think it was even safe for someone my age to take. Well did this even change anything? I would just have to work faster. I could get through my list before the baby came, couldn't I? What if I were killed though? Did I still want to die now that I was making a life?

I vanished the test and slipped out of the infirmary before anyone came. I met Draco on my way back up. I had hoped he'd still be sleeping. Should I tell him? It was his kid. But he was only 16. Maybe I should just abort it.

I shied away from that thought. I didn't want to do that. What if Draco wanted me too? I fell silent when he smiled at me.

"What's wrong, Hermione? Why did you leave this morning?" He asked me like I was dreading.

"I'm pregnant," I whispered and quickly walked away. He didn't come after me until I was almost out of sight. Then he gripped my arm, and I was too worried to look at his face. I hid mine. Things were different now. I felt like a different person all the sudden. But I wasn't. I wasn't anything.

Draco had a look of wonder on his face when I finally managed to look at him. I was surprised of course, but I wasn't fooled.

"I gotta go," I mumbled and ran, but he easily kept pace with me.

"It's gonna be okay. I'm not going anywhere." He told me breathlessly. That was exactly what I needed to hear.

I decided then it was us against the world and we would never give up on each other.

"Okay, Draco. Okay." I said, and he hugged me close. I heard footsteps behind us and saw Ginny and Blaise coming.

"So, I'm pregnant," Ginny said, and I couldn't help it I burst out laughing.

"Same," I said, and she blinked surprised.

"I need you to help me do it today. My mom will kill me if she finds out." She begged. It was a Saturday, and Ginny told me she was expected home.

"Well, let's go. Draco?" I asked. He nodded, and we went to the room of requirement to get supplies. Ginny wanted this to hurt. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were competent magically so we would all need to go. I think Ginny felt better for it.

We used a portkey because Mrs. Weasley had one ready for Ginny every weekend. Ron wasn't going this weekend. I hadn't seen them hardly at all this whole year. They abandoned me when they learned I killed my parents. They didn't believe the truth. I saw them in classes, and Harry was even partners with me on the second day. We tried to be normal. We failed. His parents were taken from him before he could even walk. He could never understand why I would voluntarily hurt them let alone kill them. I tried to tell him what happened to me but he cut me off and wouldn't speak to me after that. He didn't want to hear the truth and Ron was just as bad. He adored his parents, and I took a certain level of pleasure knowing he would lose them today. I knew I was a bad person. I was evil but not by my own making. We were all evil. The thing we did….it felt good, but my conscience ached. It wasn't enough to stop me. Not even being pregnant would stop me.

We walked off the grounds to the portkey, and all leaned down to touch the boot. I wondered why they wanted Ginny to travel home this way, but I figured it was because it was the most uncomfortable way to travel.

We all landed on our backs on the property. I heard Molly call for Ginny to get her ass inside. Oh, I would enjoy this. Ginny had a look on her face that mirrored mine.

"Let's have some fun!" I whispered, and she grinned. The boys shared a look, and I knew they knew they were there just in case we needed help.

We sauntered into the home and Molly froze upon seeing all of us. She probably didn't recognize Blaise, but the rest of us she would. I wondered if she would know why we were here but she just put on a smile.

"I didn't know you were bringing friends, Ginny. I'll get some tea going." I raised an eyebrow at Ginny.

" I don't think so, Mum." She said and pulled out her wand. She waved it in a circle and Molly was bound at the wrists. So we were really going through with this! I thought there was a chance she would change her mind. I had almost changed my mind. I had loved my parents despite their shortcomings. Molly opened her mouth to call for Arthur, but Ginny shoved a towel into it.

" This will hurt Mum. I hope you can appreciate that. You know how you always told me that pain was healing that it would teach me what I needed to learn. How it was a beautiful thing. I will only ask once. Where is my baby?"

I shot a look at Ginny. Baby? Blaise looked just as surprised.

"Ginny," I said.

"My father got me pregnant. I wore glamours throughout school and gave birth at home. I never saw her again. What did you do with her?" Ginny said to us. Blaise grabbed her Mum by the throat, "Answer that question." He took the towel out of her mouth.

"We put her up for adoption. A nice family took her." Molly said looking afraid for the first time.

"Who took her? I want their names!"

"The Abbott family," Molly said, and Ginny turned to me.

"I want to slit her throat with one of your knives." I pulled the cloth case out of my bag and rolled it out on the table for her. Molly tried to run, but Blaise grabbed her by the hair and slammed her into a chair. Draco got on the other side of Blaise, and they held her fast to the chair. At that moment Arthur walked in with wet hair.

"What is going on here?" He made a move for his wand, but I disarmed him before he could. I pointed my wand at him again.

"Take a seat," I said firmly. He looked at us all and did so. He thought they would live. He was wrong. He was a rapist! Ginny brought the knife to her Mum's throat, and Arthur gasped.

"Ginny!"

"Hermione. Kill him for me." She whispered. "Are you sure you want me too?"

She shot me an irritated look, "No I mean are you sure you don't want to do it?"

Her look cleared, "Yes. My anger is towards her. She made him do it, but he didn't say no. Kill him. However, you want but make it quick." She ordered, and I raised my wand again.

"I hope you rot," I told him, and he got up to run.

"Avada Kedavra!"

He dropped like a stone. Ginny let out a sigh. Molly started to cry. Then Ginny brought the knife back and sliced her throat wide open. Blood sprayed all over Ginny and then everything was quiet. Ginny turned to me, and I saw tears in her eyes.

"Did you feel sad when you did it?" She asked me.

"Yes, but I wasn't sad they were dead. I was sad that they made me do it. They made you do this, Ginny. Don't feel anything but relief. Right guys?"

"Right." They said. Blaise came and hugged Ginny despite being covered in blood. Ginny hugged him, and I smiled at Draco.

"I saw we go eat."

So we took our clothes off and vanished them before putting on the new ones I brought. It was decided that we would not claim the murder. If they found out it was Ginny, she could get away with it because the abuse was documented. But our involvement couldn't be discovered. I wasn't sure it wouldn't be but thought it was unlikely.

"After we eat we're getting my daughter," Ginny said, and I nodded.

"I have a house, you know," I said casually. Ginny looked hopeful.

"And?"

"We're both expecting. It's a big house. Why don't we all live there? I've been emancipated. You can do that too. We all can."

Draco looked hopeful, "How did you do it?"

"Claim abuse. I had proof, but your word might do it too. Do you know how to create a false memory?" I asked him and Blaise. They shook their heads.

"I'll show you. It's pretty easy actually."

"Did you do that?"

"For some of it. After a while, the memories showed me just laying there not fighting. I thought they would think I wanted it, so I created ones where I was still fighting and crying and say no."

"Sweet. We can live how we want them." Blaise said.

"I want us to promise each other that no matter what we will never hurt one another. Our friendships and relationships are not tainted with what we do. We'll never raise a hand to each other. Promise right now." I said looking around.

"I promise." They all said without hesitation. Ginny ate like she had never eaten before and I wondered what emotional abuse she had suffered. Some of what she said sounded so twisted. I hadn't ever had to deal with that.

We all finished eating and then I looked up the Abbott's address. They lived not too far from Ginny's house, and I thought that was likely why they had taken in the baby. Maybe they suspected who's it was. Or maybe Molly spun a story that Ginny was a whore and didn't want her child.

We rode our brooms there, and it was about four when we arrived. Ginny looked up at the house with hope.

"I've wanted her back so much."

"How old is she?"

"Probably four months. I haven't been able to keep up with time lately. How long has school been in session?"

"About four months."

"Then she's a little over four months. I had her two weeks before school started. I've probably missed so much."

"Not as much as you think. Let's go." I said, and we walked in the front door.

"Are we killing them, Ginny?" I asked. She shook her head.

"They took care of her when I wasn't able to. They live. But we'll use force to take her. Just no killing. Do you know how to wipe memories?"

"Yes, I do," I told her, and we crept further into the house. It was a nice little home. Small but obviously expensive. We found everyone in their dining room. Mr. Abbott jumped up, but when he saw who it was, he sat back down.

"You can have her. Molly said it would be temporary anyway. Until you were done with school this year."

"Mum took her from me. I never wanted her to go anywhere. What did you name her?"

"We haven't. I thought that was for you to decide. I am terribly sorry for what's happened to you. We….we're sorry we didn't help you. Is there anything I can do?" He said, and Mrs. Abbott looked at us in the same way.

"If someone comes asking you if I was home today, say no. Say no." Ginny said, and they looked alarmed.

"That's what you can do for me. Since you let me be hurt when you could have stopped it."

Well, Ginny and I were almost the same person.

"You were never here, and we gave the baby up. They deserved it, didn't they?" He asked.

"Yes," Ginny said and swept around the table to her daughter. She picked her up out of the bassinet and looked at her with a look of pure love. She kinda looked at Blaise like that. I suddenly wanted to hold my own baby. But I would have to wait.

"You can have everything to care for her. Where can I have it sent?" He asked Ginny. Ginny looked at me.

"This address. None of the rest of us were here either." I told him after writing down the address.

"Correct. I am sorry for your suffering." He said, and they walked us to the door. Mrs. Abbott look sad to see the baby go but I think she knew Ginny would come.

We then had a problem. We couldn't ride brooms with the baby. At least not without some thought I conjured a carrier that wrapped around your body and helped Ginny settle her daughter into it. She moved around a little to make sure it was secure and then we were in flight.

We got back to school, and I wondered what Ginny planned to do. We still had to go to classes. What would she do with her daughter?

"I'm gonna take her with me where I go. Under glamours and silencing spells."

"It just might work," I told her, and I peered into the blankets to get a better look. Ginny smiled at me and looked down too.

"How bad was giving birth?"

"Fucking horrible. But once she was out, and I saw her it was all worth it. It will be worth it Hermione. For both of us. Something good out of all the bad."

"Something good," I said and kissed Draco. We got Ginny settled in and decided we would all stay in the room of requirement in case she needed anything. She was a new mother. She might need help with something. Blaise and I helped Ginny breastfeed, and she took to it well. I wasn't sure I would like anyone but Draco sucking on my nipples, but I would do it for my baby.

We all fell asleep, woke up three times to a crying baby, and then it was morning. Ginny fed her daughter, and I asked her about a name.

"I have no idea. A name is so important. What if I curse her for life?" She said jokingly. I didn't think she was joking though.

"Well, what do you wish you were named?" I tried. She raised an eyebrow, "I liked the name, Marybeth."

"There you go. I think that's perfect. Innocent sounding."

Ginny hummed a little and smiled. "I think so too. Marybeth. Hi." She said looking down at her daughter.

"Would you like to go see if they stuff is at our house?"

"Our house?" She asked surprised.

"We are a family. Always and forever. That's a promise." I told her, and she hugged me.

"You know I've yet to hold her. Do you mind?" I asked hopefully. She passed her over without hesitation. I was in awe. This was a little baby! I hadn't felt this way before.

"She's so beautiful Ginny. You did a good job."

Before Ginny could reply there was a sounding boom in the room of requirement. Someone was trying to get in. I put a shield around Ginny and the baby. Draco and Blaise pulled out their wands, and I took the lead. I felt Draco's hand trying to pull me back, but I ignored him.

"WHO'S THERE!" I yelled. No answer, just the pounding for someone to get in. I cast a revealing spell and saw two Aurors blasting at the wall. They didn't know how the room worked. It wouldn't let you in with intent to harm the inhabitants.

"What do we do?" Ginny asked sounding scared. I hated that. I wanted her and that baby to be safe. She was important to me now. They all were. I had to save them from who ever was coming. I ran out of the room and sealed the door behind me.

"You're fucking with the wrong people!" I told them in a hiss. They looked surprised to see me.

"You!" They said in a shocked whisper. I frowned. What did they know about me?

"You're coming with us." They said and tried to bind me. I disarmed them before they could and snapped their wands in half. The look of horror on their faces brought joy to my heart. I could only imagine if someone did that to my wand.

"If I were you I would walk away before I slaughter you!"

"You'll never finish that list." One of them said.

"Who are you? I want a name!"

"I'm Aira. This is Taryn. What happened to you was horrible, but it gives you no right to murder innocent people."

Well, now I had their names, "Innocent?" I repeated. They looked wary of my tone.

"They raped me! Everyone one of them. How do you know about my list?"

"We just do."

I raised my wand, "Stupefy!" I stunned them both and dragged their bodies into the room. Ginny was in the corner still within my shield.

"They won't say how they know about my list. Do you think someone heard about it?" I asked frustratedly.

Blaise kicked them in the ribs a few times, saying they should have something to remember us by. I was cool with that.

"Are we killing them?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I want to go into their minds. I've done it once before on my mom. Just keep stunning them if they wake up. It won't take long. We need to know why they are coming after us and how they know about the list."

I closed my eyes and pointed my wand at Aira. She seemed to be the one in charge. I whispered, "Legilimens."
