Chapter 10 Caught
I pleaded with Draco to stay with me that night, and he agreed, but when Ron and Harry walked in and saw me laying on his bare chest, they got the wrong idea.
"Hey!" They shouted in synchronization. I jerked awake and looked up to see them staring at me with wide eyes.
"What are you two doing in here?" I asked pulling the covers over Draco's sleeping form.
"Why is he naked in your bed!" Ron asked, but Harry was still speechless.
"He isn't naked Ron! Do you think that after a torture session, I would be horny as hell? Come on? I just wanted him to stay with me. Now get out." I snapped, angrily. They were so nosy!
They backed out of the room and I heard their feet pounding down the hallway quickly.
"Horny as hell? And you didn't inform me?" I looked back at Draco who looked wide awake.
"And here I thought you knew everything." I smirked, but my leg started stinging and I felt suffocated with my jeans pressing on the wound.
I hurriedly pushed them off, ignoring the pain the action brought. Draco seemed too afraid to even look at my face.
"Hermione I was just kidding…" he said, embarrassedly.
"I know, but my leg hurts, my jeans were pushing on the wound every time I moved. " I said, lying my head back down on his chest.
I let my fingers trace the scars that were scattered over his chest, and he shivered.
"Stop that!" he moaned, his voice deeper than usual. I traced my finger up higher, circling around his nipple, but never touching it. He moaned before grabbing my face and kissing my bloodied and bruised lips.
My tongue mingled with his and I shifted my body, carefully, on top of his. It was really an innocent position, since I was hovering over him, not touching. We were just kissing, even though I was lacking my pants.
Draco's hands moved down my waist, thigh, and then settled around the crease in my knee. His thumb was tracing circles around the outside of my thigh and I relished in it. My strength reached a point and I had to lower my body down, so I was lying on top of him, lining our bodies up perfectly. He groaned into my mouth and I felt his arousal touching my lower abdomen. It excited me, but I knew we wouldn't be doing anything more than this, because of my injuries and because I would be so terrified. Draco was a very good distraction; he always had been.
"Miss Granger, oh dear Merlin!" I pulled away from Draco in surprise and saw Madam Pomfrey holding a bag and looking scandalized in the doorway.
"Yes?" I asked breathlessly. She narrowed her eyes.
"When you are …done I will be outside the door." She muttered and closed the door behind her.
I laughed happily and moved off of Draco, careful not to move my injured leg too much. They had been bandages hastily it seemed but they still hurt horribly and now Draco couldn't distract me. I pull the covers off of us and Draco whined in protest.
"Grow up you big baby." I muttered and he smirked, his eyes still glowing from a few moments ago.
"We should do that more often." I said smiling at him, affectionately.
"If we hadn't been interrupted would you have gone any further?" he asked hesitantly.
"Nope, not ready for that, but I didn't mind….." I trailed off grinning at him, and he actually blushed.
"I didn't mind either." He said, huskily, reaching for my body again. I giggled, but accidentally moved my leg the wrong way and cried out.
"Shit, sorry." He murmured and kissed me before leaving the bed.
"Hey come back here you." I said, and he winked at me.
"She's ready for you." Draco said opening the door. Oh, duh, I had already forgotten about her.
"About time." She muttered.
"Well that's three times now that you've need my help. Are you going for the wizarding world record?" she asked, teasingly.
"Maybe." I said mysteriously. I should be traumatized but I in reality just so relieved to be home again.
Draco slipped back onto the bed and took my hand, a innocent gesture, but Madam Pomfrey frowned at us.
"You shouldn't be fooling around like that." She said.
"We were just kissing." I informed her honestly, because that's all we had been doing.
"That is why you are both half naked." She said sarcastically.
"My pants were hurting the wound so I took them off, and he always sleeps with his shirt off." I said, though I didn't know if the last part was true.
"Okay fine, but it didn't look too nice, Miss Granger."
"Holy Fuck!" I screamed when she did something with her wand to the stab wound in my leg. She looked at me sharply, while Draco was struggling not to laugh.
"Shut the hell up, Draco. This hurts." I grumbled, with my eyes starting to tear up.
"Such vulgar language in you young people; this is why I do not make house calls anymore!" she said and finished healing me.
"It will be sore for two days but shouldn't hurt too much for you to walk." She said before leaving the room.
Draco burst into laughter and I smack his arm before wrapping my arms around his neck.
"So much for your undying support." I huffed, teasingly. He shivered, though I didn't know why. He kissed my throat and down my neck.
"Good Lord you are at it again!" Madam Pomfrey said from the doorway, sounding appalled. Dumbledore was right behind her, looking amused.
"Maybe we should lock the door." I said, seriously to Draco. He was flushed, looking at his feet. I wasn't embarrassed that much. I was enjoying Draco's discomfort too much.
"Yes, Headmaster?" I asked, with my body still, inappropriately close to Draco's. I traced a finger on the back of his neck, smiling widely when he jumped.
I burst out laughing and felt happier than I could remember being. Even with the death of my father, I was still happy. My father and I hadn't been close, but I loved him and i felt a tiny ache in my chest everytime I remembered my mother and him. I just didn't want to grieve right now.
"Well after you've dressed I think we should inform the rest of the order of what had happened to you." He said, eying Draco's flushed form.
"Mr. Malfoy I suggest you help her and come down with her as well." They left with that and Draco glared me half heartedly.
"You are a monster." He muttered. I placed kisses along his jaw line, smiling when he closed his eyes and his whole body tensed.
"This is fun." I commented, slyly. This was all knew for me, since I've only dated one person in my life.
"Yes, it is." He sighed contently when I hugged him closer to me. He was extremely warm, next to my bear arms and legs.
"I think I like this knew personality." He said, smirking smugly.
"Hey don't get used to it, this can be a good thing…or a very bad thing." I whispered, and to put an emphasis on bad things, I trailed my hand across his bear abdomen, tantalizingly going down lower until I skimmed the waistband of his pants. I think he stopped breathing for a moment, and when I moved my hand back upwards he let out a ragged breath.
"Shit, Mione." He moaned, sending shivers up my spine. I enjoyed bringing this reaction out of him.
"Like I said, good things and bad things." I murmured into his ear, my teeth nipping onto the soft flesh of his earlobe.
"You're a torturer." He exclaimed, moving his head to kiss me, deeply and fully.
"Well well look at this." I squeaked aloud when Ginny's voice interrupted my kissing and his wandering hands.
"Mione's getting busy." She giggled. "I wondered why Dumbledore looked a little green." She said and I flushed, the embarrassment coming back.
"Gin!" I exclaimed leaning away from Draco's kisses.
"They want you downstairs to tell us what you told them while you were gone." She said, her eyes tightening a bit as she said it.
"I didn't tell them anything!" I snapped angrily. Ginny looked doubtful but left us to it. I grabbed my blood filled pants and shoved my legs into them. Draco put his hands around his waist in a soothing manner. I leaned back into his chest.
"They don't believe I didn't tell them everything." Stated, feeling like I could cry.
"I know, but I understand why. You could be ashamed for betraying Potter." He said and tensed in his arms.
"Do you believe me?" I asked nervously.
"Yes, I do. You haven't lied to me except for…" he trailed off, I nodded guiltily.
"Let's go down and see how much convincing they need." He murmured in my ear and then slipped his t- shirt on. I frowned.
"What?" he asked self consciously.
"I liked you better without the shirt." I said, pouting. He smiled widely and pulled my body flush against his.
"I shouldn't boast your ego so much." I said with a raised eyebrow.
"No, you really shouldn't." he said and pulled me down the stairs, where everyone was around the table in the kitchen.
"Nice clothes Mione." Ginny said right away.
I looked down at myself and saw they were still covered in my own blood.
"Well Gin let's put you through a torture session and see how well your clothes look afterwards." I said, defensively.
"Down tiger." Draco said in my ear, causing me to grin. Ginny looked ready to argue, but Molly, who was sitting next to her, put a calming hand on her arm. I really didnt know how I would survive anything like this without him.
"Now, I know you said that you told them nothing, Hermione. But I need you to know, that no one here blames you for what you told them. Tell us exactly word for word what they know." Molly said, sweetly. Dumbledore nodded his acceptance of her words.
"I told them nothing. I told them to fuck off and go to hell. I wouldn't betray Harry that way. Not even if they would have killed me." I said, looking over at Harry who looked upset.
"Mione how did you do it? I've been under the torture curse, it's beyond painful." Harry said.
"I thought about how many innocent girls, boys, and children would die if I gave him the information to win this war. Even babies would die and I couldn't bring myself to utter any words except insults." I said firmly.
"Thank you Hermione." Harry said sincerely. I smiled at him, but clutched Draco's hand more tightly. Molly, Dumbledore, and Remus still looked doubtful.
"Will you agree to take Veritaserum?" Dumbledore said suddenly. I felt a sting in my chest. How could they not believe me?
"Yes, I will, but I don't want anyone except you in the room." I said firmly. If this is what it will take for them to believe me then I would do it.
"Very well, let's go upstairs to your room."
"Will you come with me?" I asked Draco, fearfully. He nodded, and gave me a look that said 'of course.'
"Just sit and drink this. It takes a few moments to take effect." Dumbledore said. I resisted the urge to ask if he always kept Veritaserum in his robes. I drank the tiny glass bottle and took a few deep breaths.
"Tell me what happened after you were taken into your cell after your torture session." He said bluntly. I felt Draco tense up, but he didn't say anything.
"I was unconscious for three days and when I came too, the knife was still in my leg, and I couldn't get it out. I told Rockwood to do and he did. Then he told me what an abomination my blood was and how he was going to kill me parents." I said, feeling an irresistible urge to tell the truth.
"Did any Death Eater commit sexual acts on you?"
I felt my eyes widen and looked over at Draco who stared at me, expectantly.
"Yes." I whispered. It wasn't really true though! He was just sitting on top of me.
"What did they do?" Dumbledore asked relentlessly.
"He pretended to be Draco. He said that he was here to save me and then I hugged him, but then I knew it wasn't Draco. He didn't hug like Draco did. I pulled away and he climbed on top of me." I stopped myself from talking any further. Why had I asked Draco to come? Draco was clutching my hand so much that I was losing feeling in it.
"What next?" Dumbledore persisted.
"He said, "What? You'll be sweet on Draco, but not ole Rockwood?" I whispered.
"What did you say to that?" he asked, looking very sad.
"I said I would never be sweet on a Death Eater. Then I spit in his face." I added, helpfully.
"And that's all?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"I told him to go to hell." I informed him, though he just narrowed his eyes at my language.
"Well thank you Miss Granger I suggest you stay up here until the potion wears off. Just for an hour or two. I am sorry for not believeing you earlier, but in truth you did give them something. They now know that Draco is in our ranks, and about your can no longer return to school and I dont think you should either. We'll discuss it more later on." He said and left us alone.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Draco asked, sadly.
"I didn't want to dwell on that. I didn't think you would like to hear it. I wasn't violated or anything." I said, hoping to assure him.
"Is that why you decided to become more ….intimate with me earlier?" he asked, fearfully.
"No, we just haven't had time to explore that part of our relationship yet. I wanted comfort yes but I didn't mean to use you." I answered more truthfully than I would have liked.
"Oh sorry I forgot. Would you rather I not ask you questions right now?" he asked when he saw my upset expression.
"It's fine, just nothing you can use against me."
"Have you ever dated anyone?" he asked, hesitantly.
"Yes, Vicktor Krum." I said smiling in remembrance, the man couldn't even say my name right.
"Have you ever slept with anyone?" he continued watching my reaction.
"Yes." I said, and felt my eyes go wide. I had not slept with anyone!
"Who?" Draco asked determinedly.
"You!" I burst out laughing.
"You'll have to be more specific if you want an actual answer to that it seems." I said smiling.
"Alright have you ever had sex with anyone?" he rephrased.
"No, I'm saving that for when I'm married." I said. I felt upset he couldn't have asked that another time, but I wasn't angry with him.
"Do you want to have sex with… me?" He asked grinning, knowing that one would get him in trouble.
"Yes!" I said and glared at him accusingly. That was embarrassing and something he could use against me!
"Alright. Have you ever been in love?" he asked, curiously.
"Yes." I managed weakly. I had been in love with someone, but dear Merlin I didn't want to tell him who.
"Who?" he questioned.
"Harry Potter." I whispered and blushed to the roots of my hair. This was beyond embarrassing for me. Now he would like Harry and even less.
"When?" he looked more surprised than upset.
"Fourth and fifth year. I don't feel that way about him anymore." I answered quickly, but I could feel the potion wearing off. Maybe I hadn't taken the whole bottle?
"Is he the only one you've ever loved?"
I smiled evilly.
"Sorry the potion is gone." He frowned, thinking hard about somthing.
"Well answer." He said moving to sit closer to me on the bed. I felt afraid of him. How could I just say it if I wasn't sure?
"I don't know. Maybe." He looked relived that I hadn't said no straight away.
"That's good enough for me." He said contently.
"Will you stay again tonight?" I asked, carefully. I was sure I would have nightmares if he wasn't here beside me.
"Of course, I rather liked waking up with you." He murmured, his gray eyes softening as he looked at me.
"Same here." I said honestly relieved. I pulled him closer to me and kissed him on his nose.
"I do love you." I said, watching his reaction. He inhaled deeply before kissing me roughly on the mouth.
"Right back at cha." He said, smiling against my lips.
