chapter four:

hermione was lost in the ecstasy of their love making by the time both of them had come on each other. the hard part for draco was that he had to somehow clean her off without hurting her, and she seemed completely out of it. he had already wiped himself down, now he had to clean off hermione.

the easy part was the outside of her, which he just had to wipe off with a semi wet cloth. he felt bad about just leaving both of their cum inside of her.

so he took a soft cloth and wrapped it around one of his fingers. then he lifted her up so her legs were around him, and he slid his finger into her. the cloth must have felt weird in her because she fiddled and groaned. he didn't want to hurt her but he knew that he could be fertilizing an egg if she was on her period, or supposed to be soon, and he wasn't ready for a child.

he pulled the cloth out and repeated until no more cum came off on the cloth. he felt bad for fingering her with cloth, but he knew she wasn't ready for a child either.

soon after that, she was starting to come back to him, but she was acting as if she had been drugged. he sat her up and leaned her against his chest, putting her underwear and bra back on. he also donned his underwear.

when he was done and both of them were clean, he pulled the pillow under her head and put his head on the edge and snuggled into her. her back was to his chest, and he could feel her breathing. soon, she was fast asleep, and his breathing matched hers soon after.

when hermione awoke, she abruptly sat up, confused on how her undergarments had been donned. dracos arm was flung onto him, immediately waking him.

"baby?!" draco said, surprised she was up already. it was barely light out.

"how did my stuff get back on? and holy shit am i sore. what happened last night?" hermione said as her words were rushed and she laid down, trying not to sit on her sore butt.

"you got laid. hard and intense." was the smug answer she got.

"oh no. malfoy i'm supposed to start my period soon."

"uh..." draco tried to think of why this was freaking her out. then it donned on him. she could get pregnant. "oh." he whispered.

"babe, did you cum inside me?"

draco nodded, his mouth agape.

"shit. shit shit shit." hermione said, her hands running through her messy curls.

"hey, it's ok." draco said, moving beside her again. "you might not get pregnant, it's not a guarantee. it's ok, everything will be ok."

"but babe, what if i get pregnant?! we'll have a child, and we haven't even graduated school!"

"you have far surpassed hogwarts, a long time ago in fact. everything will be ok, you won't get pregnant from this, the cum wasn't in you a long time."

"..." hermione looked at him strangely. "how did you... get it out?"

"technically i fingered you again."

"oh."

"yeah... sorry."

"no, it's ok... so you... got it all out?"

"yeah."

"ok."

draco looked sheepishly at the floor, now ashamed of what he had done. hermione tilted his chin and turned his face towards hers. she looked him in the eyes and kissed him for a couple seconds.

to draco, it felt more than a few seconds. it felt like the world was spinning, leaving just the spot they were sitting immobile. he felt as though the world was warping, finally fitting a place for him. inside, it seemed as though something had clicked for both of them, something that would change everything.

for draco, it was his mental scars. it felt as though they had finally been stitched closed, like the blood flow had finally ceased and he was whole again.

for hermione, it was her image. she had found herself again, she knew what people had thought of her since the day she came to hogwarts, and it wasn't them thinking highly of her. but now, she felt as though she wasn't just a smart woman, she was a beautiful, important woman.

both knew that they were finally home.

home.

draco and hermione had both been fully clothed, and they were out on a walk. their hands were intertwined together and they were walking as close together as they could without tripping each other.

the forest was clad in different shades of greens. there were tons of small flowers and patches of longer grass than in other places. there were different sized bushes, shaped in all different sizes and different shades of green.

there were trees scattered about, and nests of small birds seemingly floating in the branches high atop the trees. the birds were singing their peaceful songs without caring about disturbing their furry neighbors.

there were squirrels climbing stop trees, through the branches and all around knots in the trees. the melody of the birds was so peaceful, it seemed as though they cared for no threat that could come their way.

hermione twirled in circles as she tired to catch as much of the forest in her line of vision as she could. draco took in the beauty of the woman standing by him, almost as much as the woman was taking in the beauty of the greenery that surrounded them.

hermione was shrouded by a seemingly bright light as the sun shined through the canopy the leaves of the trees provided. her hair was lit up, and she seemed to glow in the sunlight.

her hair glowed a dark red, seemingly almost mahogany in color. her eyes sparked with sunlight as she twirled in circles. her eyes tried to take in everything around her, and they bobbed up and down as they looked at every speck of green around her.

her shirt shined with glowing sparkles from the amount of sunlight the silk was catching. she was smiling, showing the bright white teeth that she portrayed. she looked happier than he had ever seen her, she looked peaceful even.

"'mione?" draco asked, not wanting to disturb the woman, but wanting to keep walking.

"oh draco, it's so beautiful here!" she said with delight.

"we could see more of the forest if we continued walking." he said.

she turned around and smirked at her boyfriend. "i know that, you git." she said as she clutched his hand again.

"so? c'mon, let's continue." he said, pulling her along as he slowly walked the direction they were going.

more and more sights revealed themselves to the pair as they walked around. bunnies jumped out of the bushes on occasion, startled by the footsteps that the pair made. the flash of white or grey would startle hermione, making her jump slightly, which draco laughed at every time.

their hands stayed intertwined the whole time, neither of them wanting to sever their hold on each other. each of them marveled in the sights before them, whether or not it was the person next to them or the greenery before them.

"ron!" they suddenly heard. it was a shout coming from somewhere around them, and it sounded like harry.

"harry?!" hermione incredulously whispered. she turned and looked at draco, tears forming in her eyes at the thought of having to see the two again.

draco filled with anger. he pulled hermione close to him, trying to make her feel as safe as he possibly could. "shh." he cooed, not wanting to have to see those two anymore than she did.

"ron!" the shout came again.

"mate shut up!" ron shouted back, in the opposite direction harry's shout was coming from.

"jeez sorry." harry shouted back.

draco and hermione stood as still as they could, not wanting to approach the two and not wanting to make any noise that could alert them of their presence.

all draco could think about was why harry and ron would still be here after their duel. wouldn't they have left? wouldn't they have gotten the message and left them alone?

then again, harry and ron had a reputation for not getting the message. they never left anything alone, especially not when draco was involved. they didn't trust him because of the fact that he was a slytherin. sure, there weren't many good wizards who came out of slytherin and yet here draco was, with the love of his life, a griffandor.

"ron i swear you better hurry your arse up before i come kill you!" harry shouted in ron's direction.

draco and hermione slowly moved forward, following the direction harry's voice was coming from. soon, they were standing behind a small grove of trees, seeing a tent and a fire. harry was sitting at the fire, impatiently tapping his toe. ron suddenly came out of the forest with some firewood, startling everyone.

"mate, it took you long enough." harry said, getting up and taking the wood from ron with a grin.

"oi shut up mate." ron said, getting closer to harry.

they both leaned in and kissed. it seemed as though there was tongue involved because ron's mouth opened wider and harry must have slid his tongue in.

hermione looked up at draco, shock written on all of her features. they had led her on all these years, they really fancied each other. she really was just a background character. she started shaking, her whole body seeming to vibrate as tears started streaking down her face.

draco felt the anger flooding every inch of his body as his girlfriend clutched to his body tightly. he could feel her tears through his shirt, which only angered him more. he couldn't believe that this scene in front of him was really happening. harry and ron were a couple, and they really had just led hermione on as a background character. she was just there to help with the cause.

harry and ron backed away from each other, ron licking his lips.

"oi mate, that's how to shut someone up." ron said, smirking at his boyfriend.

"oh shut up you git." harry said, faking anger. "you're lucky you're such a good kisser."

ron stepped up to harry, close enough that their chests were touching. draco wrapped his arms around hermione and cradled her head in the crook of his arm.

ron pushed his head closer to harry, their lips almost touching as ron whispered something in harry's ear. harry turned bright red and got a sheepish grin on his face as he passionately put his lips against ron's.

ron wrapped his arms around harry's waist, pushing harry closer into him. he kept smooshing his face into harry's, and his hands kept moving downwards. ron roamed harry's body with his hands, moving them up and down, trying to find an opening for his hands to slip through.

his hands quickly found the hem of harry's shirt, pulling it up and off harry. their lips parted as he took the shirt off, but ron immediately pushed back into a now shirtless harry.

harry wasn't brave, he was never quite the brave one when he liked someone. but ron, ron was being rambunctious with this new side of harry, the gay side.

ron rubbed his hands around harry's back, rubbing the tender spots. harry's knees went weak, all the while draco filled with more and more anger, and hermione cried harder and harder.

ron roamed downwards, finding harry's pant buckle and unbuckling it, practically drooling over harry. harry was weak at the knees, and ron was practically holding harry up.

draco quickly apparated out with hermione, trying to get her away from them as soon as he could. he brought them back to the tent and attempted to calm hermione down back at the tent. hermione eventually fell asleep and draco put her to bed so she could rest after the day she's had.

back at ron and harry's tent, ron had pulled harry's pants down and harry was now only in boxer shorts. ron was still fully clothed, which only made harry more lustful for ron.

ron undressed himself, trying to keep his lips against harry as long as possible. ron parted from harry and grabbed his hand and pulled him into the tent. ron laid harry down on the ground and yanked his own underpants down.

harry took his own off and looked at both his and ron's nude bodies. both of their penis' were hard, they were filled with lust for each other. harry's wasn't as long as ron's, but ron didn't care. size didn't matter to him, it was only one more thing he loved about harry.

"fuck me ron." harry growled with lust.

draco was so torn. the witch he was comforting needed him to be there, but he could go beat up the golden duo without hermione knowing. he didn't know what to do, hermione was the love of his life, but her safety and health depended on him, and he didn't know how to help her in this.

he decided that if hermione needs him right here, that's where he would stay. seeing what the two had done to her mentally, it killed draco. she was so fragile. one simple glimpse of them and she burst into tears, and it broke dracos heart every time.

draco was laying next to hermione, with her back to his chest and an arm around her waist, the other rubbing her neck gently.

it was hard to calm hermione down when she got bad. he had to take drastic measures to calm her down, she was breathing so shallow because of her crying. he had told her that she was his, and he wasn't happy that she was crying, so she has to stop. eventually, she had stopped and she wouldn't talk.

she had sat there silent, sitting in dracos lap while he rubbed her shoulders gently. she was staring at the side of the tent, occasionally sniffing loudly. draco understood her, he went through this too.

she was caught up in her trauma, fighting a mental battle against memories and feelings. he massaged her shoulders with gentle force, relaxing her. he could feel her shoulder muscles slightly relax under his grip, but he could still feel how tense she was, which wasn't normal for hermione when she was around him.

he made sure to be especially gentle around her shoulder blades, he knew those muscles could be tight and he didn't want to hurt her during this. draco could see the paleness of his skin contrasting against her slightly more colored skin and black bra.

she suddenly shifted, her body moving slightly away from him and out of his grasp. he didn't know what happened but he had a strong feeling that it wasn't anything he did.

"draco?" hermione whispered.

"yes, my love?" he replied quietly, trying to keep his voice as steady as possible.

"what's happening to me?" she said, tears welling in her eyes as she turned to face him.

"oh, baby girl, you're ok." he said as he pulled her closer to him. her legs wrapped around him and straddled his waist. salty tears dripped down her face, draco quickly bringing a hand up to wipe a the tears away.

"all it was was one glance, that's it, just one." she whispered, snuggling into his chest.

draco laid down, pulling her down with him. she unwrapped her legs and laid next to her. draco turned her around, putting her back to him and wrapping an arm around her waist. he wanted to make her feel safe in this moment so that she didn't have to be afraid of anything.

slowly, she drifted into a fit-less sleep, and soon after, he joined her. they both fell asleep, next to each other, warm together.
