When Snape entered Dumbledore's office, Malfoy was sitting in a chair with his head down. Dumbledore was staring at him with an odd sort of hatred in his eyes that wasn't seen very often by the kind-hearted headmaster.
"Ah, Severus, please explain what has happened tonight with young Mr. Malfoy. I tried to ask him myself, but he doesn't wish to speak with me apparently." Dumbledore said, quite more irritably than his usual calm self.
"Draco here attempted to rape one of his fellow 6th years. In the process, he slapped her hard accross the face and she was indeed bruised and bleeding." Snape said. He looked over at Malfoy and was pleased to see that he was shaking ever so slightly. It took a lot to wear down his oh-so-annoying confidence.
"I see. Who was the student?" Dumbledore asked.
"It was Hermione Granger."
"Oh. I see." he said again. "Well, this is a crime that definitely should not and will not be taken lightly." he paused and faced Malfoy, who was still staring at the ground. "I would appreciate it if you would bring your attention towards me Draco. I'm sure I'm much more interesting to stare at then some old tiles."
At this, Malfoy lifted up his head. Pure hatred filled his eyes as he stared at the headmaster.
"Well, I can't say thats better, but it will have to do. Mr. Malfoy, until we can think of a suitable punishment for you, this one stands. You shall have detentions with Professor Snape and Mr. Filch every night and you absolutely will not be allowed to go on any trips, Hogsmeade or otherwise. This is going to be no where near your actual punishment, so do not feel at all relieved. Until further notice, you are dismissed." Dumbledore said calmly.
Malfoy stood up and was about to leave when a hand was placed on his shoulder. "I shall accompany you to your tower, Mr. Malfoy." Snape said, his eyes flashing. "Goodnight headmaster." Snape nodded curtly. He led Malfoy over to the door and practically pushed him through it.
Dumbledore stared at the door for a while after they had left. "What a disgusting human-being." He shook his head and walked over to his desk. "What a disgusting human-being..."
~~*~*~*~~
As soon as they were out of range of Dumbledore's office Snape grabbed Malfoy and pushed him up against a wall.
"In my opinion, the headmaster was far too lenient on you. Rape is a very serious crime and should be dealt with accordingly. You will lose 150 points from your house." Then, upon remembering that he was the head of his house he re-phrased it. "Er, I mean 50 points." (A/N: Its a serious crime, yes, but it's still Snape.)
Snape's penetrating black eyes stared disgustedly at Malfoy's gray ones.
"In the morning, you will appologize to Miss Granger. Properly." Snape spat. Malfoy's face tinged pink.
"I will do no such thing!" Malfoy shreiked. He didn't mind being repremanded but he could not bring himself to do something to hurt his image.
"Oh yes you will. I may be the head of Slytherin but in your case I won't stop myself from taking off a thousand points if necessary. You're just so disgusting that I feel an exception can be made to my 'favoritism'" Snape spat. He was so intimidating that Malfoy had to back down.
"Fine."
~~*~*~*~~
Hermione woke the next morning rather earlier than usual. She couldn't go back to sleep once she woke up, so she decided to go to the common room. Her head hurt terribly and she wished that she could just go to sleep forever. She sat on the windowledge and stared aimlessly at the leaves falling down from the trees. About an hour later she stood up, and went down to breakfast. It was only about 8, but she really didn't care if she was the only one in the Great Hall. In fact, she would actually prefer not seeing anyone as she really was in no mood to talk. She felt violated and helpless. She hated feeling like this. She knew that what she was feeling would not go away quickly, and that made her feel even more helpless.
When she got to the Great Hall there were a few students there, most all of them female. The few males that were seated all stared at her as she made her way to her seat. She was used to this. Every guy always stared at her when she walked. At first she felt very uncomfortable, but she just ignored it now. She glaced up at the head table and all of the teachers were staring at her too. She shook her head and looked down at her food. She wasn't hungry. She didn't even know why she was there and couldn't really find a reason to stay so she just left, heading towards the library, without even touching her food. Everyone at the head table noticed this and all had worried expressions on their faces. All except Snape; he looked fairly unconcerned. Once again as she got up to leave all the male eyes followed her until she was out of view.
"She didn't eat anything Albus." Professor McGonagall noted to Dumbledore.
"I noticed that. Quite understandable. However, I do wish this isn't going to be an on-going thing."
~~*~*~*~~
Harry and Ron looked around the common room. They had been waiting for about 30 minutes for Hermione to come down for breakfast.
"Oi! Lavender!" Ron shouted as he noticed her coming down from her dormitory.
"Yea?" She yelled back.
"Is Hermione awake yet?"
"She's been gone for ages. I thought that she was with you."
Harry and Ron looked at each other. They always went to breakfast together. Oh well, they'd just meet her in the Great Hall.
When they got there they saw that she wasn't there.
"I wonder where she went." Harry asked, looking around the room.
"Library maybe?" Ron replied.
"Yea...Yea I guess."
"Potter, where's Granger?" Malfoy drawled as he entered the Great Hall.
"Not here. Why? What do you want with her?" Harry asked, a puzzled expression on his face. 'Since when did Malfoy call Hermione anything but Mudblood?'
"Oh well, I guess she's not here." Malfoy said. He wasn't going to go out of his way to appologize to the girl. He walked past them, elbowing Ron as he went by.
"I think we should go find her." Ron asked worriedly. Harry nodded in agreement.
~~*~*~*~~
At the library, Hermione realized that she really couldn't concentrate. She had looked at the House Points board (A/N: is it a board? Oh well, you know what I mean) earlier and noticed 50 points taken from Slytherin. 'Only 50?' she thought. That just didn't seem fair. Well, what did she expect. It was Snape. Although, Snape had been very cold towards Malfoy she noticed. I mean even if Malfoy did attempt to do something horrible, he was still Malfoy. Snape let Malfoy get away with everything. Maybe because of his experience with the death eaters he is very sensitive towards the subject of rape.
"Hermione!" Ron said as he and Harry spotted Hermione.
"Oh. Hi guys. Just doing some studying." She said, in a somewhat monotonous tone.
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you wait for us to go to breakfast?"
"I didn't eat it. I'm not hungry. Sorry." She replied.
"Why aren't you hungry? It's not healthy not to eat Hermione. I mean you're so thin already. What's wrong? What aren't you telling us?" Harry asked. He looked down at Hermione and noticed she had slight bags under her eyes. Her face was very pale and her cheeks were slightly flushed.
"N-Nothing. Its nothing. Don't worry"
"Hermione tell us." Ron persisted.
"Oh alright." She agreed. "But you're not going to like it..."
