A Couple Days Later

Ron looked up as the lock to the door clicked. He watched as Mr. Malfoy stepped out buttoning his shirt and smoothing out his hair. Mr. Malfoy saw Ron sitting on the floor and cocked an eyebrow at him. Mr. Malfoy smirked at him and then walked off. Ron quickly stood up and went in.

"Hermy?" he whispered looking around. "Hermy?"

All he could see in the dim light was blood. Blood was splattered on the walls, the ceiling and across the only chair in the room. There were also small puddles of blood here and there.

"Hermy?" he said louder.

A tiny whimper came from the darkest corner of the room.

"Hermy!" Ron rushed over and helped Hermione to the center of the room. "Hermy, are you okay? What did you do?"

Hermione coughed and spat out blood, but didn't say anything. Instead she started shivering uncontrollably.

"Here." Ron pulled off his shirt and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Can you tell me what happened?"

Hermione shook her head.

"Bitsy!" Ron called. "Bitsy! Hurry!"

There was a loud crack! and the house-elf appeared.

"Master Weasley?" Bitsy squeaked.

"Please, Hermione's hurt." Ron said. "We need to help her."

Bitsy nodded and quickly disappeared.

"It's okay." Ron stroked Hermione's hair, which was soaked with blood. "Bitsy will heal you."

Bitsy appeared a few minutes later with bandages, Healing Potions, and some food and water. Just then a bell rang.

"I will care for her." Bitsy patted Ron's arm. "You go. You is being rang."

"Thank you Bitsy." Ron quickly left the room.

"I know you have already been down to see Miss Granger." His master greeted him. "Lucius came to see me just after he had finished with her."

"Please m-master." Ron bowed. "W-What did she do?"

"She did nothing." Voldemort smirked. "But she was being punished for young Draco's actions."

Ron frowned.

"It seems that Draco was suspected of trying to help you and Miss Granger escape." Voldemort said. "And Lucius chose to punish Miss Granger rather then his own son. Draco denies trying to help you of course, but his innocence could only be proven by one act. He dealt the first blow."

"The first blow master?" Ron asked.

"Well, the first and second." Voldemort nodded. "He was made to beat her into submission. And then he was made to . . . how do you young people say it? . . . fuck her? Draco was forced to fuck her while his father and several others watched. She was mostly unconscious though."

"A-And the screaming?" Ron cringed.

"The screaming came later." Voldemort shrugged. "When the actual punishment began. I believe . . . Mr. Goyle . . . used a white-hot poker for his part of the punishment. Hmm?"

Ron tried to control his gasping breaths.

"You may return to her now." Voldemort waved his hand. "She lost a lot of blood and Mr. Nott Sr. doesn't believe she'll live that long. I think you should spend what little time she has left, with her."

Ron nodded and with another bow, left the room. He raced back to Hermione's room.

"Bitsy?" he asked as he walked in.

"She will be okay." Bitsy nodded. "She is sleeping now. She needs Blood Replenishers every two hours."

"Anything else?" Ron asked.

"Food and drink." Bitsy said. "She is not eating. She won't."

"She won't eat?" Ron frowned.

Bitsy shook her head.

"Okay." Ron sat down next to Hermione and cradled her in his arms. "I'll try to get her to eat something"

"Do you need anything else Master Weasley?"

"No, thank you Bitsy." Ron said. "I think we'll be okay for now."

Bitsy nodded and disappeared with a soft pop!

Ron sighed and slid down to lay next to Hermione. She flinched slightly when he accidentally touched a dark purple bruise on her left arm. He wondered if someone would be coming soon to see if she had "died" yet.

"Sing Ronnie." Hermione murmured.

"Sing what?" he asked.

"Sing . . . Yesterday." She whispered.

"Okay." Ron nodded. "But you sleep."

Hermione nodded slightly. Ron took a deep breath.

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday . . .

Oops! I forgot to say that I don't own 'Yesterday' (by The Beatles) either. And I don't. But it is a good song though. Okay . . . so that's the it of chapter 6. I hope you liked it. Please review. Please? I'll love you forever-n-ever! Please? Thank you!
