Broken

Note : I gave up on "Dream Big" the plot was too common.
~*~*~
Hermione sat on her four poster, staring out the misty window. Her heart was heavy and her eyes filled with tears.
"Oh Crookshanks," she sobbed as she petted the cat.
"What is happening to me?"
The cat purred.
Hermione stood up and pulled on her shoes. She walked out of the cold castle and began to walk along the edge of the forest. A cold chill whipped against her back. It was so cold, her icy tears seemed to freeze on her face. She saw Hagrid's antediluvian cabin in the distance. She staggered towards the cabin and knocked on it's absconded door.
"Hella?" called a muffled voice as Hagrid opened the door.
"Why, Hermione," he said "What's the matter?"
"Oh Hagrid," sobbed Hermione, and she burst into tears.
Hagrid pulled Hermione into the cabin and sat her down at his table.
"Now," he said "Tell me whats your bother."
Hermione took a deep breath.
"Hagrid," she started "It's just that, well, I feel so alone. I haven't been doing nearly as good in school and I'm beggining to resent magic. I just want to go home. I have no friends!"
"What er bout' Harry and Ron?" cathecized Hagrid
"They are too busy with thier lives of being the best wizards of the school, to pay attention to ME" said Hermione in a resentful tone.
"Oh Hermione," said Hagrid softly as he gave a large hug.
"Now you get on back to school!"
Hermione smiled and started out the door.
~*~*~
"Now class," said Professor Flitwick. "Who can tell me the proper name of the 'watch charm'?"
Hermione thought hard. She had no clue.
Harry's hand shot up in the air.
"Timus Revelus Parton!" he said smartly.
Hermione frowned. What had happened to her? Everything was going so....wrong! She pouted in her seat until she heard the bell ring. She filled with relief.
~*~*~
"Oh hello Ron," she said quietly as he walked up to her after class"
He patted her on the back.
"You know Mione' you've been awful different lately,"
"Oh so you've noticed I suck at magic?"
"I didn't say that it's-"
"Ron Weasly! You have no right to be so rude!" she cried and stomped off in a huff.
"Wow!" Ron said to Harry later that day "What's up with her?"
"I don't know," Harry commented "She's been a pain like that all week."
"We noticed!" said Ron sarcastically.
~*~*~
Hermione tossed her bag on the floor, her books spilling all over. She didn't care. Her eyes filled with tears. She was no longer the best in her grade, she couldn't fly well, she didn't have a boyfriend, and everyone got mad at her so easily! She really needed something to do. She could think of nothing else so, grabbing her empty bag, she ran down to the Great Hall. It was there she saw him. Draco Malfoy. She stood around waiting for Harry and Ron to come in. When she saw them come in, she marched up to Draco Malfoy.
"Hello Draco!" she said very audibly
She put her arms around his neck and firmly planted her lips on his.
She silently snickered in her head. They would get jealous and be her friend again. She smiled at Draco and walked away. Ron and Harry stood in the entrace to the Hall, with their mouths hanging open.
~*~*~
Hermione sat on her bed, thinking. She just KNEW her plan would work. Harry and Ron would realize they'd made her go crazy. She laughed to herself.
Suddenly someone walked into the dormitory. She opened her curtains expecting to Ron or Harry, but to her suprise, there stood Draco Malfoy.
"Malfoy?" she said in shock
"How did you get that password?"
" I have my ways," he said softly. Then he laughed. A small laugh rising from his inner stomach, till it filled his lungs and burst out.
"I wanted to show you something," he said "Follow me."
Hermione followed him. She would do anything, even for Malfoy, if it meant getting back at Harry and Ron for what they had done to her. He led her to an upper classroom.
"Peek inside," he said slyly
She began to open the door, when Malfoy pushed her in and quickly performed a lock spell on the door.
"Malfoy what are you-" she screamed
"Shut up Granger!" he screamed as he performed a silencing charm on the room.
"I had no idea until yesterday that you wanted me," he stated satanically
"I don't want you in any way!" she yelled angrily
Draco pushed her backwards into a wall, holding her hands above her head. Without thought to her, he ripped off her robes and began to unbutton her blouse.
~*~*~
Hermione woke up. She was curled on the floor of an old classroom. The clothes on her were ripped and torn. He hair was a mess. At first she couldn't remember why she was in there. Then it all came back. Draco Malfoy, he had raped her. Her heart hurt. Why had he done this to her? Silent tears were pouring down her face. She pulled her robes on fully, as they were only on one arm. She tried to open the door to the room. It was locked.
"Alohamora!" she said softly. She opened the door and rushed to the prefects bathroom. She their repaired her clothing and took a shower. She ran upstairs to bed and fell into a sleep, almost drowning in her salty tears.
~*~*~
The next day was Saturday. The grounds were now covered in a thick blanket of snow. As it was December 24, everyone was excited and in a rush, getting ready for the holdays. Hermione didn't feel like moving, or breathing, for that matter. She wanted to die. Suddenly she heard a tap on the window. It was pig, Ron's owl. She opened the window. Pig fluttered around like a very fat butterfly and finally came to rest on the windowsill. Hermione ripped the letter of his leg and began to open it. She read it out loud to herself:
"Dear Ron:"
This wasn't to her, but against her better judgment, she began to read it.
"Meet me in the bushes TONIGHT at 6pm."
The handwriting was loopy and very feminine. It was anonymous. Ron was seeing a girl! Why hadn't he told her?
~*~*~
Hermione woke to a Christmas morning filled with hustle and bustle. By he bedside was a pile of presents. She didn't feel like opening them, but she did. She did get some nice things. She got a box of candy from Harry, a collar for crookshanks from Ron and her parents had sent her a nice book about dragons. She sank into her bed, reading until she fell asleep.
~*~*~
"Hermione?"
"Huh?"
"Hermione wake up?"
"Lavender? What do you want?"
"Wake up! You've been asleep all day silly!"
"Leave me alone!"
"Fine then, I will!"
Lavender stomped off in a huff.
Hermione opened her eyes and noticed a letter on the dresser. She never recieved letters. She unfolded it and began to read. She she screamed and fainted......
R/R please!
