Hey! I'm back, did you miss me? Sorry for the long wait but school is swamping me! It's horrible! But break is here, yea! And Christmas in one day one hour and five minutes from when I'm typing this! Sorry this is a bit of a short chapter but I've had some writers block on this particular project. Probably from a lack of sleep (five hours a night for a few weeks until yesterday). Anyways, I hope you guys like it! And I really hope you review!

After hours of them watching her heal Hermione's visible wounds, Madam Pomfrey had to close the blinds and put a curtain around her to start on the… less visible ones.

"Oh Merlin," she gasped as she removed Hermione's clothing. Her body was one giant bruise if not one giant scab. She had many pelt wounds and also looked like she had been whipped; her leg of course, had been broken but the bone wasn't settable, she would have to remove the bone and regrow it. On her back it looked like a mixture of whip marks and bruise in the shape of something like an iron bar, and then there were the burns, they had burnt all of the hair off her back.

Also, Madam Pomfrey learned as she removed more of the clothing, she had been gang raped. There was immense bruising and cuts around her private areas and her pelvic bone was fractured. Her skull had two fractures and her nose was smashed in.

She had been tortured.

"It's just that… she seemed to know what was going to happen, but she did nothing to prevent it." Tears slipped down Draco's face as he said this. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't be wasting your time." He wiped his tears and made to leave.

"Sit," Robert Floyd, his therapist commanded. "You're not wasting anyone's time Draco, and it's good that you're crying. From what I understand you have never been allowed to cry before,"

"No, not really… But why wouldn't she try to save herself?"

"From what you told me it sounds like she as protecting her son. Speaking of which how is Adrien?" he asked.

"He's doing best as possible, he still doesn't understand why he can't go and see his Aunt and Uncle yet,"

"Well the custody battle was brutal and they shouldn't have tried to kidnap him from the temporary guardian." Robert sided with him.

"And he misses his mum, we go to visit her a few times a week, I go every day. I'll drop him off at the Burrow, the Weasleys and the Potters like to see him a lot, and he likes to see them. They're the closest thing to family either of us has now," Draco said.

"The Potters?"

"Ginny and Harry got married right after the custody battle, didn't I tell you?"

"No, but I believe that was when I was on leave? It's understandable that you forgot."

Draco nodded in agreement.

"So, how's work?"

"It's going pretty well, I like the flexible hours the hospital gives me as a lab technician, making all the potions and that. And the pay is good, although I'd say it's been enabling me to spoil Adrien. Although I do get to see Hermione every day, so that's a plus."

"And how is she doing?"

"She's stable, all her injuries have healed but she still won't wake up, but I hope she does soon, Adrien's almost four now I was planning on sending him to a muggle pre-school nearby where we live next year, I'd like her to see that."

"That would be nice," A timer rang in the background. "Time's up for this week, Draco, you've made good progress," he assured him. The two men stood up and Robert patted him on the back before Draco left the psychiatrist's office.

"Daddy!" the jubilant almost four year old ran towards him.

"Hey Adrien!" Draco scooped him up and gave Adrien a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh, Draco good. Can I talk to you in the other room for a minute?" Mrs. Weasley asked coming in from the other room.

"Sure, Adrien why don't you go and find Ginny,"

"Alright!" he said and sped off to find his Auntie Ginny.

"Draco, I think Adrien should see a therapist,"

"What!?" he hissed.

"He's angry and he's frustrated. He's been having fits lately and secluding him self from everyone else, and when he does join in he ends up lashing out at people!" she explained to him.

"This doesn't sound like Adrien at all,"

"I know it doesn't, he's been without his mother for more than a year, and for more than a year he's thought hopefully that she'll be alright in the morning, but now he's starting to realize that she may never wakeup and it's hurting him. Today while Ginny was taking a nap I found Adrien crying quietly in her room, Ginny had those muggle headphones in and didn't hear anything other than that Merlin-awful rock music… anyways, he was talking to her stomach,"

"Well she's pregnant; he probably saw Harry doing it and decided to mimic it, after all he's going to have a cousin in a few weeks,"

"He was telling the baby how lucky he was to have both a mum and a dad, and both of them biological,"

"He said biological?"

"Yes but that's not the point Draco! Adrien is depressed,"

"He's only four!" Draco reasoned.

"I know but he's depressed all the same! I really think seeing a child psychiatrist would help!" she told him.

He looked sadly down at his shoes. "Do you really think so?"

She put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I do,"

"It's my fault, I should've spent more time with him…"

"You spend plenty of time with him Draco! And when you're not there he's surrounded by family. It's not your fault Draco," she told him as if were obvious.

"Well then who's is!?"

"Gregory Burns'" she stated simply. "He's the one who's put your family through this."

"You're right, Molly, I'm sorry. I'll set up an appointment right away," he said sadly.
