Thanks for all the reviews! I know The characters are really OOC But I just think the events should have affected them differently.
Hope you still like it so far!
I do not own Harry potter
Draco POV
Grinding my teeth I look at Hermione; her cheeks covered in tear tracks. I could feel the anger rising in me - How could Krum; a guy twice the size Hermione was hurt her. Squeezing my eyes shut, I release a breath before gently holding her left hand in both of mine.
"What happened?" My anger was obvious in my voice but I tried to cover it in hopes to not frighten her.
Hermione looks at me intently before she wipes her cheeks quickly. "After Ron and I argued... I was left sitting on the stairs crying; thats how Viktor found me. He asked me what was wrong - I saw no fault in telling him.. So I did. I told him how Ron had acted and what he'd said. I was too distracted to notice how he reacted until he grabbed a fistful of my hair." I watched her screw her eyes shut. "He ended up dragging me into a classroom." She looked at me; Her eyes wide and innocent. "He was so angry Draco.. and I had no idea what I'd done wrong. He was screaming and shouting at me.. But I couldn't really understand him, his accent was so thick. I understood him saying I was suppose to be on a date with HIM, that I shouldn't care what the 'Red Headed Baffoon' Said to me, That it was stupid to cry when I was lucky enough to be on a date with HIM. Then all of a sudden he slapped me - I was so shocked that I just started at him. He started kissing me.. groping me - I tried shoving him away but he just threw me against the wall and pinned my arms above my head. Every time I tried screaming he'd hit me anywhere he could reach; face, stomach, chest. He got more and more frustrated with me when he couldn't undo my dress so he just... ripped it right down the middle of my chest. I tried wiggling away but he just kept re-adjusting his hold on my arms. He lent in and kept whispering what he was going to do to me... I managed to knee him while he was distracted and he shouted. I got to the door before he fisted my hair again and yanked me back. I screamed as loud as I could and he was hitting me and shouting at me to shut up." She takes a shuddering breath. "He pulled out his wand... and I was so scared. I was screaming at him; telling him how sorry I was when the door was flung open and Severus was stood there... He Stupefied Viktor." She let out a laugh. "Severus was so shocked - he stood staring at me for a couple of minutes before he came and helped me. He fixed my dress and helped with the bruises so no one else had to find out then sent me off to bed. You must know how Severus is.. Can't show he cares."
I sat staring at her stupidly. I didn't know what to say. She was beaten and almost raped by Viktor fucking Krum but was saved by my godfather.
"Oh... Hermione. I can't believe Krum did that.." I tried to reign in my anger. "Did you tell Potter? or Weasel?"
I was surprised when she scoffed. "Of course not! They'd have killed him! I couldn't let them get into that much trouble because of me." She turned her head and gazed off into space - Looking lost in thought.
Something about her look set alarm bells ringing in my head. Had she told me everything? Taking a deep breath I decide to ask. "Hermione? Is that - Is that everything?"
She turns and looks at me in shock before letting out a roaring laugh causing me to jump in my seat. I stare at her wide eyed. "Is that everything? Oh Draco, how I wish it was."
Frowning I look at her intently. The spark that use to be ever present has vanished from her eyes, her face looks paler and her whole demeanor looks dull and depressed. "Will you tell me? You don't really have to, I just.. I want to understand.. I want to be able to help you. I - I care Hermione." I mentally growl in frustration at my self. I'm turning into a fucking Hufflepuff.
I smile slightly as her face softens and her eyes sparkle a little. "Draco.. Do you remember in 5th year.. when your father got taken to Azkaban?" I nodded slowly - My face portraying my confusion. "Did you ever find out why?" Thinking back I realise I had no fucking Idea why it happened. I scowl and shake my head resulting in her taking a shakey breath. "I'm sorry it happened that way Draco... See.. It started when Harry had a dream of Arthur Weasley being attacked at the ministry.. Turned out it wasn't a dream - that night Arthur was attacked by Voldemorts snake; Nargini. Thanks to Harrry telling Dumbledore about his dream; they were able to save Arthur."
I blinked in shock. My stomach twists in guilt - I vaguely remember the weasel clan leaving school early before Christmas and rumors where that a weasel had been injured.
"See.. Dumbledore explained to Harry that he had a connection with Voldemort but he didnt know if Voldemort was aware of it so he immediately arranged for Harry to take classes with Severus - To help block Voldemort from seeing inside Harry's head. Remember when we got caught in Umbridges office?"
I sneered at the memory - Umbridge really was a bitch. Indicating that I did, I motioned for her to continue.
"Well.. Me and Harry were there because he.. had this vision of Sirius.. apparently Voldemort had him at the ministry and were going to kill him. Harry being Harry wanted to save him. I knew it was a trap.. I suggested we floo the headquarters but before we could Umbridge came in. There wasn't really a weapon in the forest - it was just Hagrid's half brother Grawp. After we got away from Umbridge we bumped into Ginny, Ron, Neville and Luna." She giggles quietly. "We rode the threshals to the ministry -" Ah that's why she giggled. It was common knowledge that she hated flying. "Obviously when we got there... Sirius wasn't. Unfortunately for us a group of death eaters were.. Including your father. They wanted a prophecy orb but it was Harry's prophecy so no one but Harry could hear it. We ended us running.. Most of us got caught... Harry dropped the prophecy. The order came, Sirius with them - Voldemort knew about the connection he had with Harry and he manipulated it. Dolohov hit me with some curse.. Pretty much caused my chest to explode.. and I was out for the rest of it - I woke up in the hospital wing a week later. I woke up to find out that Bellatrix had killed Sirius, Dumbledore had fought with Voldemort and the ministry finally accepted that 'The dark lord' was back." When she looked at me fully - her eyes were full of sympathy. "I'm sorry Draco but the ministry saw your father.. the knew he was a Death eater."
I sat and stared at her. She ended up in a battle at the ministry of magic? My father was there? That was the reason my father went to azkaban the first time? THATS why He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named decided to punish him by using me? Dolohov almost killed her? My emotions were running haywire and I don't know how to handle it.
I quickly stood up. "I'm sorry.. I - I... Have to go for a walk.. Im sorry." I didn't wait for her to reply. I fled from the common room, practically running down the hallway.
Sorry it's so short but I had to rush it! Hopefully the next chapter will be longer and better!
