Love Is A Terrible Thing.

To Love Is A Sin.

To Be Loved Is A Curse.

Jealousy is Love

A sound from the door of the bathroom made them stop and look in its direction. It was an owl with a fat letter attached to its leg. It was Hedwig. Hermione was confused, Harry was safely in the school, and he could just come and see her…couldn't he? She was about to move away but Draco held her by the arms tight. "Forget Potter. Let him walk in here himself and see." She frowned at him and punched him in the shoulder.

"You're only using me to get Harry jealous? You're pathetic!" She yelled and tried to get her arms out of his grip and then spit in his eye when he didn't let go. She grabbed her school robe and flung it on and raced out of the bathroom with Hedwig trailing behind her.

Once safely in her room, she pulled the huge, heavy latch and locked the door. She ripped open the letter fiercely. She'd had a crush on Harry since she'd stopped denying her feelings back in her third year, at one point she was confused as to which boy she liked: Ron or Harry then she had a deep meaningful conversation with Harry one day and she was his. She sat on the bed and read the letter; fat droplets of water were dripping from her ringlets and her curved nose.

Dear Hermione,

I had to leave as soon as possible, Ron's with me along with most of the members of the Order and we're you-know-where and forming a plan to get the latest Horcrux. We would've come and gotten you Mione but the older members advised against it saying that Hogwarts needed a strong smart witch like you to defend them if something should happen to the school while we take our leave. McGonagall's with us along with Lupin and half the staff at the school although they brought in reinforcements (people's magical parents) to help defend the school so don't worry. I carry the weight of leaving you there, I honestly wanted to burst into your room and hoist you on my shoulder and take you out of there, at least then I would've known if you were safe. Write back, love you Hermione.

Harry Potter

She read the letter and instantly felt hate for those who told Harry to leave her behind and then jealousy at the fact that they're off searching for Horcruxes, she was smarter than (if not all) them. She threw the letter down onto the floor then picked it up again and smoothed it out, before placing it in her dresser drawer and she paused over the locket she'd forgotten about. She picked it up and opened it. The picture of the boy inside smiled at her with a smile that would melt a million hearts. His green eyes looked into her brown ones and she felt the need to touch the boy's face. She didn't let Harry know she'd taken one of Colin's pictures and put it in the locket she inherited from her grandmother; she was afraid he'd think she was a stalker.

The robe was soaking wet and clinging to her and it was getting cold and she feared getting sick from it so she took it off and quickly wrapped a towel around her body, carefully avoiding the mirror in her room. She hated to look at herself in the mirror and she knew she'd judge herself. But she didn't know why.

As she grabbed her fresh undergarments from the drawer she caught a glance of her arm. She sank to her knees and felt tears well up and hated that he did that to her. It was her neighbor; he used to be her best muggle friend before he hit puberty and instantly felt the need for sex. He never went all the way with her but he forced her to do things to him and he would bind her and cut her and she couldn't scream because he would cast a spell on her, yes, he turned out to be a wizard but he'd gone to Durmstrang or some such place. She couldn't erase those memories of him holding a knife over her while she was on her knees pleasuring him. She'd hated him more than she hated herself for allowing herself to be caught in his web. This all happened last summer and the one before when she'd 'grown' up and he obviously noticed. He drove her to the point where she hated boys with all her might. During her family reunion near the end of the summer she refused to allow her male-relatives to touch or come near her, she was even afraid of her father.

The reason she never told anyone was the same as when you're bullied and you feel 'ashamed' or something like that and you don't want to tell anyone what someone else has done to you. She sat on her knees for a while trying to get rid of the summer, every time she closed her eyes she would see him laughing at her or torturing her. She'd sought out therapy for herself and the treatment got her to the point where she could be in the same room as the opposite sex and allow them to come within a few feet of her.

She decided in that moment that wouldn't take bull from men anymore. She got up and finished dressing in a huge sweater and sweat pants, hiding her figure and she began to get to work. She first transported Draco's bed back to his room and then she placed locking charms on every entrance to her room and then decided to get to work on her homework that she was behind in. Even the sharp pain in her stomach didn't stop her so it eventually subsided but for Draco it only got worse.

He saw his bed back in his own room and then slammed the door to his room and made sure she heard it. He dropped his half naked self onto the bed and put his arms behind his head and though about how much he blew it right then. He tried to ignore the pain in his stomach but it only got worse to the point where he was doubled over and yelled to his room.

"What do you want?" A slight wind blew his hair around and he saw the specter form, only it wasn't Gwen, it was Sam Slytherin. Draco looked at him, confused.

"I need to show you something of her past but it is against our rules so we must act quickly. Come." He said quickly and then he materialized them out of Hogwarts, to a warmer climate and some muggle neighborhood Draco didn't recognize. Sam walked up the front steps and through the door. No one was home but they could hear a man yelling and a girl crying from some distant place in the house. They followed the noise downstairs and past the basement into a cellar-like room. There was a young man standing naked with his wand and a knife pointed at a girl with brown hair.

"Suck it whore!" He yelled and used the imperious curse on her and she unwillingly did what he commanded. It was Hermione and she was naked and bruised and tears and blood were mixed. While the boy was busy with his orgasm Draco saw Hermione trying to reach for a knife while the boy was distracted with his eyes rolling into the back of his head. Unfortunately he saw her grab the knife and he commanded her to cut herself and she did so. Draco wanted to rip this guy limb from limb and teach him a lesson in torture. Draco's eyes unexpectedly filled with tears as he saw the girl he loved forced to do vile things and still get punished for it.

The young man then tied her to some pipes and traced every curve of her body, he'd put a gag in her mouth so she wouldn't make noise but she was still whimpering. He slapped her across the face and began to harshly suck and bite at her breasts. She tried to kick him but couldn't move her foot and he then put one hand on her hip to hold her steady and then came closer, rubbing himself against her and she cried harder. There was noise upstairs and the boys' parents were calling him upstairs for some brunch. He put one finger against his mouth, "Shhh." He told her with a wicked smile across his face. He then put a silencing charm on her and then walked out cruelly, leaving her naked, cold and bruised.

Draco walked over to her and put his hand on her cheek, surprisingly it didn't go through and his warm hand came into contact with her cold cheek. She raised her head, but didn't look directly at him as if she knew he was there but couldn't see him. She was mumbling something inaudible.

"I don't understand." Draco said to Sam.

"She thinks you're an angel there to help her."

Draco looked into her desperate eyes and he heard Sam move to stand beside him and he leaned in and whispered in Hermione's ear.

"Just breathe."
Draco watched in amazement as she inhaled, shutting her eyes and then opened them again with a newfound determination. She wiggled her wrists and bent her long fingers to try to undo the knot and when she was successful she then pulled off the gag and undid her legs. She grabbed her clothes and pulled them on and tried desperately to find her wand. Suddenly the boy was back and was standing in the doorway. "It's in my pants, if you want it you know what you have to do." He said simply, leaning against the doorway. She walked over calmly and Draco guessed that she always managed to get free and then she had to do this. She knelt down and undid his pants freeing his erection. He wasn't wearing any underwear (shocking) and she had to reach behind his manhood to her wand and he shoved her face against his manhood and forced her lips open. As she unwillingly gave him a blowjob she seized her wand and cast a stunning spell on him. She kicked his stiff body and spit on his face before running out of the again-empty house.

Draco was back in the present and the pain was gone, he understood now…even though she was here she still had to suffer in front of men. He got off his bed and made his way to her room. He knocked on the door and she yelled for him to go away. He knocked again.
"Granger, please. Open the door."

"No."

He was about to kick the door down before he took a breath and knocked again. He kept the same pace of knocking until she swung the door open, startling him slightly. "What?" She asked. He seized her by the lips and gave her the most passionate kiss he could muster, one that showed how much he cared for her. He kept both hands on either side of her face and he felt her hands encircle themselves in the hair on the back of his head and he felt her run her fingers through his blond hair, making it stick out at the back. She kissed back and she surprised him by warm water entering the corners of their mouths. He broke the kiss and saw that she was crying; their lips were touching but not kissing and he let her cry against him and she pushed him away but he kept taking a step towards her.

"What…do you want?" She said in between sobs and covered her face and backed into her room and sat on her bed. Draco followed her and shut the door; he saw the letter across the bed but didn't try to read it. He sat beside her and put his arm around her, or at least he tried to at first, she slapped him away and then he did it again more slowly.

"Just breathe…" He told her, not meaning to sound like Sam. She shot her head up to look at him in surprise and confusion.

After a few minutes she calmed down but still asked if he could leave her room. He did so and took one last look at her before going to his room and letting himself fall onto the bed. He drifted off to sleep, alone. He found himself wanting the warmth of Hermione beside him; it didn't help him sleep so he lay there with his eyes focused on the top of his four poster bed.

Hermione stood in front of her mirror and put her hand on her bare stomach and gave her mirrored self a look of concern. She traced her scars and wondered how she would explain it to people back in the muggle world (or the wizarding world for that matter) if she ever went to the beach or some sort. She felt something, the back of her neck prickled with the feeling someone was watching her. She turned around to see Guinevere Gryffindor sitting on her bed in her beautiful white dress. She gave Hermione a smile and Hermione stood with her mouth open like an idiot. Seeing spirits, going to the past, acquiring scars because of some bond, she seemed to be going crazy.

"Do you know what you must do to end your suffering and his?" She asked, getting off the bed and circling Hermione. She folded her arms across her chest and stood waiting for Hermione to answer.

"You want us to kill ourselves?" Hermione asked sarcastically, hoping Gwen would not say that that was the solution.

"You need to open your hearts, express your thoughts and express your physical love." Hermione snorted at this.

"So this is a ploy for me and Malfoy to have sex is it? Well you can bet your title that I will never, ever sleep with him."

"That is not what I said. And if you do so without true expression then you will surrender your soul to the Darkness. Surrender only to yourselves."

Hermione walked towards the window and looked out at the night sky. "So, are you going to show me a memory?" She asked, hoping to see Sam again. She turned to face Gwen and she smiled at Hermione.

"Yes. Come with me." She extended her hand and led her through the portal. When they stopped spinning Hermione looked at her surroundings and took everything in. They were not in the Head's Dorm but in a smaller version of it, there were no windows and one bed in that room and there was a door that led to what was probably a secret passage. Sam was standing there in only an underwear type of clothing and Gwen was also in a thin, dress-like material that was soon taken off by Sam. He held her hands and put his forehead to hers.

"It's been hurting me ever since you left for classes." The shadows from the candles were doing wonders to his already gorgeous features.

"I had a feeling as well, what does it mean?" She whispered and Hermione then noticed their stomachs bore the same scars that she and Draco had. Sam trailed his hand down to Gwen's scars and held her to him lovingly. She kissed his lips sweetly and he set her down slowly onto the bed in a sitting position while he stood. His broad back was to Hermione and his slim hips were angled towards the love of his life as he put his hands on her hips. She kissed him deeply and crossed her arms behind his neck.

He leaned forwards, causing her to move backwards onto the bed and she smiled against his lips. He was soon on top of her and all they did was kiss sweetly and slowly. Hermione wondered if teens in the centuries before had a not-so-demanding sex drive. If this scene was replayed in modern times people would be ripping off each other's clothes and roughly make love. This was sweet and intimate, just the way it should be. Gwen in the scene, kissing Sam, looked uncomfortable as he looked into her eyes for approval. She sucked her lips in and then let them slowly puff back out in decision. She parted her blood-red lips to give an answer but Sam put one finger against her lips to silence her and he got off the bed and rolled the thick sheets down. She climbed under the covers and he got in and she snuggled up against him with her left hand on his chest and his left arm around her. She let her head rest against his chest and he put his chin on the top of her head. She put her leg across his hips and muttered something to Sam that Hermione just barely caught: "I'm sorry."

"I love you." He simply replied and they snuggled closer still before drifting off to sleep. Hermione's heart melted for Sam and she yearned for the boys in modern times and wished they would be exactly like him.

She turned to Gwen who took her hand and brought her back to her time. Hermione said nothing but went straight into Draco's room and found him sleeping. She slipped under the covers and slept in the same position Gwen had been in and snuggled against the man she was starting to think she was in love with.

Gwen strode in the modern day Head's Dorm and her fingers lightly brushed against antiques that were modern for her time and she turned to face the giant Window. She looked at the exquisite art of the stain glass that formed murals but her gaze fell upon the Slytherin crest. Then quite suddenly she was flooded with memories of her first day of seventh year. The year she met Sam and the year her life changed forever…
