(A/N: This story probably won't really stretch out much longer. I really have nothing too big planned but seventh year leads into my post-Hogwarts story which is in the works already and Seventh Year will be huge. Count on it. I probably wont write anything quite as long as The OOP&F: The Elementals except the post-Hogwarts story entitled 20 Years Later. In fact this chapter makes a couple of big time skips. Sorry if this disappoints any fans I have [SIDENOTE: REVIEW IF YOU LIKE THE STORY] but I just don't have all the time and effort to put into this particular story. Trust me though 20 Years Later and whatever I call Seventh Year will definitely make up for this. Thank you for all your reviews Arnen but there is not too much of a chance of an evil Harry popping up again… well a very small chance but it won't recur more than once and that time wont really last.)

Chapter 5

        It took Harry a couple of days to totally regain his power and start back to classes. It took Hermione a couple of weeks… and frankly, Ron thought, she still wasn't all there.

Hermione was keeping closed away from everyone really. She still stayed with Ron and Harry but hardly seemed like the old Hermione she still studied and got top marks in classes and that is where the similarities to the old Hermione ended.

Ron figured there might be some sort of… dare he think it… sexual abuse that happened during the ordeal as she hated doing things with him she once loved. He was glad he'd learned how to make those earthquakes.

He could become some odd beast called Tierra… He linked it with his sub-elemental ability as he'd never heard of this beast before. It was a rather large creature who was green and brown like the earth. It was almost like a golem except made out of ground and looked more like a squared troll... It could merge to the ground and flex it's muscles causing the ground to shake and open… he destroyed the floor and the Lestranges fell screaming (well screaming for being gagged pretty tight anyway) into the earth and then Ron had shut it back again and the Lestranges were buried semi-alive.

Harry was haunted by everything he saw… all of it with Hermione and the other directly related to Voldemort bits. Voldemort was making a potion now he said it would take several months for the other two ingredients to be able to be added… so for it was boiling unicorns' blood with Harry Potter blood mixed in. Harry had shuddered when he heard his blood was being added.

Harry still had the dreams of Voldemort brewing the potion and killing unicorns but he told no one… that wasn't going to turn out a smart decision.

It was now near the end of November and Hermione kept quiet. Ron still hated the Order for letting that all happen and Harry was turning into a paranoid nutcase.

Harry never seemed to sleep. He always said something about spies in Hogwarts. Drake also seemed more tired over the past few months but that was likely because of seeing his parents death over and over again. He saw every horrible thing he did as a member of Black Death… and he hated those days.

Donna had disappeared and Drake missed getting to talk with Donna. Rosalyn and Alexander seemed to have a strained relationship lately… and to Drake that was very odd.

November passed smoothly into December and Harry and Drake were getting better. Hermione still acted reclusive.

Ron had enough though and was going to break up with her soon. He didn't want too but she really left him no choice.

The middle of December came and Ron confronted Hermione.

"Hermione?" Ron says and she turns away from the common room fire.

"May we take a little walk?" Ron asks and Hermione nods and stands up.

They take a walk to the abandoned room near the library.

"Now Hermione… I need to know what happened to you. I'm your boyfriend and one of your best friends. If you won't tell me I don't think I can be either anymore. I mean if you can't trust my how can I believe you love me? And the whole trust issue packs a punch to the friendship as well."

"I… can't Ron. You don't get it." Hermione says her eyes getting watery.

"Of course I don't get it you won't let me get it Herm!" Ron says raising his voice.

"I told you I can't tell you don't you realize how I feel." Hermione shrieks at Ron the tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Again… how can I know how you feel you stay away from me." Ron says almost yelling  again.

"FINE! If you must know…" Hermione stops and shakes her head.

"Fine you leave me no choice… it's through 'Mione." Ron says turning on his heel and heading to the door.

"He raped me…" Hermione whispers.

Ron stops cold and turns back around to find Hermione's back to him. "What?"

"You heard me." Hermione says.

"What?" Ron says again.

"He raped me, Ron… all the time… horrible… torture, then interrogation, then rape, then sleep, then wake up, then rape… well more just abuse to… you know rather than him raping me…" Hermione says crying at the memories.

"Oh… 'Mione." Ron says walking over to her and hugs her letting her cry on his shoulder. "It's ok. He'll never bother you again."

"How do you know that? He might be looking right now…" Hermione says shivering.

"No. The Lestranges are dead. I used my secret against them." Ron says.

"You turned into Tierra… for me?" Hermione asks awed.

"Of course." Ron says.

"But that wasn't all of my story…" Hermione says.

"It wasn't?" Ron asks puzzled.

"I… I… my body… at first anyway… it… that is to say… my body… the nerves… uh… liked it." Hermione says waiting for all hell to break loose as Ron stepped back away from her.
