Chapter 9

"The Broken Vow"

While walking back home Hermione felt at ease for the first time since the war. Paul made her felt that way, or maybe this is because of the imprint but whatever it was, she really like it. She still doesn't know what Paul is to her but hopefully she will find the answer soon.

Paul already leave after she insisted that she can handle herself and she knows that it hurts him to leave her but at the end he still did what she wants and for that she is very grateful to him. She also knows that she is being selfish but she just hope that someday she will be able to pay him for everything he does for her.

Hermione stop on her track when suddenly she felt a burning sensation on her wrist were their DA coin hung there as a bracelet making her hiss almost out of pain. During the war not many DA member survived that's why after the war she made a special spell so she will know if any of the remaining member are in danger and where she can trace them.

Hermione eyes widen when she saw Luna's name on her coin, and she didn't like it when the coin starting to form a red mark on her skin. Without thinking for a plan Hermione closed her eyes to start tracking Luna and when she succeed she apparated right away not caring if somebody will see her.

She apparated in a old and dark manor and she hated the amount of dark magic that linger arrounds. She hates the aura that the place is giving to her, it shouted extreme danger and promised pain, but she is a Gryffindor and she will never back down from anything.

She made a vow before to never again loss someone important to her . She just wish that her magic will cooperate this time and make everything easier for her."

With every caution that she learned from the war, Hermione slowly and carefully approached the building but not before asking George for help using her coin and asked him to come as soon as he can bringing enough back up.

If she didn't like the feeling outside it was nothing compared to what she feels inside the manor, it look like that it has been abandon for a long time and it is the kind of place that horror movies used but she is so sure that whatever creepiness this place bring, it was nothing but reality.

Hermione stop on her track when she heard a loud scream of pain that belongs to Luna, and before she could think of anything she was already running towards the noise, her body is in verge of panic, she doesn't want to think what's happening to her friend.

She feels her own fear to loss somebody again resurface, she doesn't know if she can bears another death especially if its Luna who's oddness gives her a sense of old belonging that despite everything, despite the horror of life, something still remain same, that the war didn't manage to still from them…Luna's uniqueness.

The sight that she saw when she opened the door almost made her stomach turn upside down. Luna is in the floor with nothing to cover her very pale and battered body and someone on top of her doing things that no one was supposed to do without Luna's consent.

Luna is crying between her shouts but the stranger just kept on racking her body while laughing insanely as if enjoying every bits of Luna's agony.

Hermione raised her wand towards the stranger ready to cast any spell that can destroy this monster only for someone to magically get it to her.

"It seems that Gryffindor princess finally arrived!"

Hermione shivered involuntary at the venom of that familiar voice and it take all her will not to show any emotion upon seeing Rabastan Lestrange, only then did she noticed that the room was surrounded by a lot of missing death eaters.

"Surprise!surprise! Did you miss us Mudblood!" Mcnair said with venom that followed by the laugh of his comrades.

"Let Luna go!" She's scared and she can feel every inch of her body reacted at the sight of this despicable men, and she now realized how stupid she is for coming here without planning nor contacting anyone right way for help, it seems that she adapted Harry and Ron's trait of acting without thinking and to think that she was always tell them how stupid they were for acting out of instinct, if they were here they might threw her owns words at her.

"Feisty! Aren't you Mudblood!" Hermione was trying to think of a escape she even tried to use wandless magic but her magic really wasn't cooperating with her.

"Just let Luna go! I am what you want. Right?!" Hermione fought the urge to flinched when Rodolphus grabbed her hair not too gently then forced her into a kneeling position at Luna's side making her see what they were doing to her closely and she couldn't help but tremble out of pity,disgust and extreme anger.

"L-luna!"

"Look everyone the mudblood is crying!"

Hermione didn't care if they laughed at her the only thing that mattered to her was Luna who had already stop screaming and seems to averted herself into reality. "L-luna…Luna."

This time Hermione flinched when Mcnair grabbed her again and pulled her away from Luna and towards his comrades who started to walk towards her.

"Your friend is very feisty but your screams are more lovely so let us hear your beautiful voice!"

Hermione fell to the floor as someone pushed her down roughly and before she could think of anything she felt the familiar sensation of cruciatus curse on her body, but she will be damned if she would give them what they wanted.

"Scream mudblood!"

She felt another cruciatus and Merlin it was very painful but she would never scream even though her body was almost convulsing out of pain.

"Very brave mudblood as expected of a Gryffindor although your other friend was much more fun, his screams were really melodious."

Hermione eyes widen when she saw another DA member's coin and she was very sure that it belonged to her friend Dean Thomas judging by the soccer ball key chain along with the coin. It was similar to the key chain that he gave her when she saved him during the war.

"Damn you!" Hermione cursed them with so much hatred only for them to laugh at her..

"We are not finish with your friend, mudblood!"

Hermione want to just closed her eyes and sleep hoping that by the time she opened them again she would find out that everything was just a nightmare, a very bad dream but when she felt another cruciatus curse and a hot liquid that splashed onto her skin that she was sure was not hers. She opened her eyes only to see Yaxley cast a cutting spell on Luna who didn't even flinch.

" You know,we did to her what we are doing to this Lovegood girl!"

"Shut up!"Hermione said menacingly, she could literally see red and then everything started to fade from her but she could still hear them clearly. She knows very well who they are referring, and she will not allow anyone to disrespect that "woman's" name in any way.

"Shame that Lucius isn't here to see this, just like last time we did it to that "woman"…"

That was the last thing she heard before everything turned black. She could hear screaming but she didn't care why, the only thing on her mind is to inflict pain on the monsters and to hear them scream out in pain that would bring her immeasurable satisfaction.

When the screaming stopped, Hermione finally saw her work. Blood was everywhere, the death eaters bodies were almost unrecognizable but right now they are were not important to her, Luna was the only thing that mattered. She crouched down beside her friend not caring that she looked a mess with the death eaters blood covering her.

It wasn't good Luna was very pale and Hermione almost had a panic attack when the healing spells didn't work, then it clicked. They had used a cutting spell on Luna that no magic could heal.

Why couldn't she save anyone! She was the brightest witch of her age but she couldn't even save a one friend! She was so useless! Why? Why were all these things happening!

Hermione's tears just continue to flow while looking at her friend and not having any idea to help her.

Why couldn't her life be simple? Why couldn't everything be just like when she was young her parents were always telling her that all pains are simple to fix and by just eating an apple doctors-…Oh Merlin, Doctors…muggle doctors they can help Luna.

She could feel her heart beating faster from the new found hope, but she didn't know any muggle doctors and she couldn't bring Luna to any hospital that would cause many problems... then suddenly Paul's worlds sprung to mind about the vampire coven that resides in Forks, one of them was a doctor! He could help Luna!

While Luna she gathered her new found magic and tracked the Cullen's and when she sensed them she apparated quickly but not before casting a spell that would hide the smell of their blood, she was already tired and she didn't want another confrontation from anyone.

Rosalie POV

The whole family was resting peacefully at the house, Emmet and Jasper were playing video games, honestly boys will be boys. Esme was in the kitchen doing something she didn't want to know, Carlisle is busy in the family library while Edward was playing the piano with Bella besides him and Renesme in her lap, and lastly the dog or aka Jacob Black who was a constant visitor in their house along with Seth but of course she didn't mind Seth he was an adorable kid but thank god that Leah girl still despised them enough that she wouldn't enter their house unless it was between life and death. They were not with them today because they were at the Reservation busy doing things that she was not interested.

Ever since their problem with the Volturi finished, everything turn out to be perfectly fine but to her husband's point of view it was described as boring. Though sometimes she couldn't help but agreed with her husband, not that she would ever tell him that.

There was a loud "pop" sound just outside. They all vaulted outside as fast as they could to see what caused the noise, she never expected to see what she saw. A girl covered in blood holding onto another girl, this one unconscious. Although they were both covered in blood Rosalie couldn't smell any. When the girl look at them and she saw her eyes, Rosalie swore that what she saw in this girl eyes was the most pain she had ever seen, including her transformation into a vampire.

They couldn't see her face clearly because it was covered with both blood and dirt.

"P-Please help my friend, I'm begging you."

They remained immobile not really knowing what to do.

"Please…I can't loss her…too."

When Rosalie saw the girl tears her body move on its own, not waiting for his family's decision she was already running towards the girls side and helping her with her friend.

"What the hell are you doing standing there, we need to help them!"

The Cullens were woken from their stupor due to Rosalie's loud voice and as fast as they could they were bringing the two girls inside to help them.

"No, I'm fine, help Luna." They all heard the girl say but they refused to believe her especially due to the amount of blood she was covered in.

"I don't know if you noticed but you are covered in blood." As always Emmett pointed out the obvious.

"Its not my blood."

They all stopped when they heard that but resumed immediately.

Edward and Carlisle helped the unconscious girl while the others were outside waiting. Bella and Renesmee returned to in their home as Bella and Edward didn't want their daughter seeing this.

"You can take a bath upstairs and Alice will lend you some new clothes." Rosalie kindly told the girl who was just sitting on the floor and hugging her knees for support. But the girl only shook her head.

"Come on, Your friend will be fine."

The girl looked at her and Rosalie's heart shattered when she saw the extreme pain in the girl's eyes.

"She will be fine r-right?"

Rosalie smiled much to the astonishment of others who were watching the interaction with so much interest.

"Of course she will, Carlisle is great doctor." Rosalie hoped she was right because she would hate to see what would happen to the girl if something happened to her friend.

With Alice they guided the girl upstairs.

"I wonder what happened to them." Alice said while they were waiting for the girl to finish taking a bath. They were all very curious to find out what happened but she choose to remain silent, from her own experience she knows that it was never easy to tell a very painful experience.

When the door of the bathroom opened, Alice and her stood up to look at the girl and Rosalie couldn't help but admire the girl's beauty, she looked so innocent like an angel but what made her sad was the haunted look in the girls face making her look like a very wounded angel.

The girl was so young, she was even younger than Rosalie was when Royce raped her, what monsters would do this to the two girls?

Then Rosalie heard it again the same popping sound before they found the girl and unconsciously her body become alert Alice besides her mimicking her actions which didn't escape to the girl's observation.

She didn't know what was happening but she would do anything to protect the two girls…
