A/N: Here's the next part! R/R! Love, peace and chicken grease! (Thanks to me friends at mainhall for that one!)
Chapter Three- Harry
Harry stomped into his room and flopped onto the bed. "Why does everything happen to me? I love Hermione, but I can't help her! I loved Cho, but she killed herself at the beginning of the summer holidays! Shit!" he ranted. Suddenly, Harry heard faint screams coming from Hermione's room. Then, they stopped. Harry ran into her room and saw Viktor sitting on her and punching her as she struggled futiley. Upon Harry's entering, Viktor turned.
"Vell, Harry is here. Look, Hermione! He thinks tha-" Harry ripped him off of Hermione and punched him in the stomach. Viktor punched Harry in the jaw. They began wrestling. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry saw Hermione reaching for the bedside lamp. Quickly, Harry rolled out of the way. Seconds later, the lamp came crashing down on Viktor's head. Harry struggled to stand up, but felt a sharp pain in his left leg, where Viktor had kicked him. Hermione went over to him and helped him to the bed.
"Stay here." said Hermione. "I'll go get someone."
Hermione limped to the door and out into the hall.
"You idiot! Hermione is hurt far worse than you and she just saved your ass, but here you are, lying in bed while she gets help for you! Stupid!" Harry thought bitterly. Hermione came back into the room with Tom, Ron, Lavender, Padma and Parvati. Hermione was being held up by Ron. Tom looked around the room.
"I'll fix your leg up, Mr. Potter, then we'll take Mr. Krum downstairs." Tom rushed over to Harry, who was attempting to stand up.
"Ron, lay Hermione on the bed. I don't need it." Harry said as Tom tapped Harry on the leg with his wand.
Ron set Hermione down on the bed and she promptly fell asleep. Harry glanced at Hermione.
"Padma, Parvati and I will stay here with her until the doctor comes back." offered Lavender, who could tell that Harry didn't want to leave Hermione alone. Harry nodded, feeling slightly comforted.
"Mobilicorpus!" said Tom, pointing his wand at Krum, who floated in the air and down the stairs. Harry and Ron followed. Once downstairs, Tom dropped Krum in a small parlor off to the side.
"Stay here. I'll go get a doctor and a few Ministry representatives. If Krum wakes up, feel free to beat him around a bit." Tom winked and Apparated out of the room.
Ron glanced at Harry. "Okay, now tell me what's going on."
Harry spoke sadly. "It's quite simple, really. All summer Krum's been beating Hermione and making her diet. Typical abusive relationship. He was starting to get really out of hand, however. Now Hermione's near death. Even one more blow could kill her."
Ron looked shocked. "Why didn't Hermione tell us?" Harry shook his head. "Because she was afraid. Afraid that without Viktor, she'd be alone, that no one'd love her. Afraid that Viktor'd beat her. Just plain afraid."
Ron looked at Harry. "You love her, don't you?"
Harry smiled. "Yeah, I do."
