Hermione awoke the next morning to a persistent knocking at her door. Reaching over, she snatched her wand from the bedside table and leaped out of bed before charming the bed sheets. As the knocking extended to a continual thumping, she leaped behind the closest cupboard and started to shiver remembering what the attacker had done to her. Making the decision to never let that happen again, she gripped her wand muttering, "I will be strong, no one will hurt me again!" as an almighty bang filled the air with noise.
Leaning further into the wall, she cautiously stuck her wand around the corner of the cupboard and muttered a series of curses that she knew would severely harm her attacker. Screaming the 'attacker' curled in a ball slowly forming transfiguring into an unidentifiable creature that was incapable of speech, it was a monster. Hearing the moans, Hermione considered it safe and peeked from around the corner of the cupboard and let out a blood curdling scream. In her grand bedroom was the monster, with four arms that never stopped moving, a sucky-thing on its face and white-blonde hair covering its entire body.
"Draco? Is that you?" Hermione asked as she cautiously stepped forward before leaping several back as soon as it moved a little. "Mmmmmmmm" the creature moaned at her looking at her with stormy-grey eyes. "Draco! I'm so sorry! I'll change you back in a jiffy!" she promised the creature while taking another five steps backwards and covering her face with her hands. She muttered the counter curses and shuddered as the creature shed its hair, lost a pair of arms and discarded the sucky-thing revealing Draco's face.
"What the fuck was all that about Hermione?" he blurted out insensitively as soon as the sucky-thing left his face. "You scared me with all of the knocking and the banging and the blasting" she timidly whispered as he forgivingly wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay Mione; I understand, just give me warning, okay?" he whispered in her ear and she nodded in response before breaking away from his embrace. "I have to get ready for class" she told him before grabbing her school robes and heading for the shower.
Taking off her pajamas and stepping into the hot shower, Hermione found a series of deep purple bruises covering her arms and she cried out in pain as the hot water hit them. Breathing deeply she grabbed the rose scented soap scrubbed at her sore skin, she felt dirty, she wanted all traces of him gone. The bruised handprints, the scratches made by him and more importantly the memories. She wanted them all gone and they wouldn't go. Stepping out into the cool air and getting dressed in her school robes, she heard raised voices that she instantly recognized as Draco's, Blaise's, Ron's and Harry's.
Creeping down to the common room, she saw a site that did not shock her in any way. Four boys were standing with their wands pointed at each. Harry and Ron were standing with each other, with their wands pointed accusingly at Draco, while Draco had his wand at blaise. Hiding in the shadows of the hallway, she listened trying to figure what they were fighting about.
"Why would I hurt my best friend?" Harry shouted while Ron turned his wand on Blaise also shouting, "One of you did it, I know!" Draco was now turning an odd shade of red and started to shout back, "I would never hurt Hermione! If you haven't noticed she is head girl and I am head boy. There is some kind of charm that disallows us form harming on another." Blank looks followed this, so he continued, "It was Blaise you idiotic Gryffindor's with courage but no brains!" all three wands turned Blaise as he started to back away, "I love Hermione, I had to make her love me!" he cried as Harry, Ron and Draco neared closer to him.
"Stop! You can't hurt him! It's against school rules! I am obligated to stop you" Hermione's voice echoed through the heads common room. "Hermione, he hurt you!" Ron replied with wide eyes and Harry and Draco backed off knowing that it would accomplish nothing. "We shall take him to the headmaster" Harry said with an air of finality, "No buts Hermione!" glaring at him she replied, "I was agreeing with you" and walked out of the portrait, leaving the boys to deal with her attacker.
