Draco skipped up the stairs to the Gryffindor tower. He casually checked his watch; it said 6:30. He was planning on suprising Hermione and walking her down to dinner. When he arrived at the Gryffindor tower, he saw a mass of students and teachers there. He walked up to McGonagall and asked what happened.
'You! Severus, Hagrid, take this boy to the dungeon! At once!' she screamed, pointing toward him. Snape and Hagrid swiftly walked to Draco and carried him off.
'
Whats going on? What did I do? My fathers going to hear about this!' Draco said, trying to hold back tears of anger and fear. Snape hit Draco in the head.
'Shut up, you filthy boy. You know what you did to that poor girl,' Snape said angrily, and hit Draco again. He winced in pain.
'Hermione? What happened to her? If Potter touched her, I swear-'
'Dont go and blame poor Harry for all of this. Hes the one that found her! You know you almost killed her? She was bleeding to death!' Hagrid screamed, which shook the corridor.
'What? I dont know any of what your talking about!' Draco shrieked. As they approached the dungeon, Snape ran to unlock the door. Hagrid threw Draco inside, and slammed the door. Draco clutched at the bars and started to cry.

In the infirmary, teachers and students waited for Hermione to awake; so they could know what happened and why they found her on her bed, naked, bleeding to death. They assumed it was Draco; that he raped her so hard, because he was the last person anyone saw her with.
'Alright, all you students that are here, go back to your dormitories. Theres no reason to be scared; Draco Malfoys all locked up,' Dumbledore said, but he was shaking. 'Why have these things been happening to this poor girl?' he questioned to himself.
At the sound of Dracos name, Hermione awoke. McGonagall, Snape, Dumbledore, Hagrid, and Madame Pomfrey rushed over to see.
'Wha-how did I get here? Why am I here?' Hermione asked, her voice hoarse.
'We were hoping that you could tell us,' McGonagall said softly to the weak girl. Hermione instantly remembered all of the days past events, and she cried out. 'I cant tell them it was Harry, but why am I in the infirmary?' she thought to herself.
'We found you on your bed completely naked, passed out. You were bleeding so much, and it appeared you had been brutally raped by someone. We thought it must have been Draco Malfoy, since he was the last one there. Poor Harry Potter, he came and told us that you were in that terrible state,' Dumbledore said to her, softly stroking her hair. Hermione gasped.
'No! It was not Draco, he did not do this to me,' Hermione started to cry. Dumbledore moitioned for Snape to go let Draco out of the dungeon since he was clearly innocent.
'I love Draco, he did not do this. Yes, I was with him this morning, but then he walked me back to Gryffindor, and he left, and thats when I saw-'
'Yes, yes? Who did this to you?' McGonagall asked.
'I ca-ca-cant te-tell y-y-you,' Hermione stuttered because she was crying so much.
'Why cant you tell us child, so we can expell him from Hogwarts and report him immeadietly!,' Dumbledore said violently. He was so angry that someone in that school could have actually done something as horrible as that.
Hermione thought fast. 'I cant tell them it was Harry. He will surely kill me then, and others as well. I have to think of them before me. If I dont tell them it was him, nothing else will happen,' Hermione thought to herself.
'No it wasnt a student. It was a man I had never seen before, and he apparated into my room and out of it. That is why no one could have seen him,' Hermione lied. Dumbledore and McGonagall exchanged glanced. They knew it was a lie, but they knew Draco surely did not do it.
'Alright, I shall make it so it is impossible to apparate into Hogwarts grounds. But things seem to happen to you when your in Gryffindor. Would you like to stay somewhere else for a while?' Dumbledore said to Hermione, awaiting her response.
'Yes, that would be wonderful. I should like to stay in Slytherin with Draco, where I feel the safest if that is alright,' Hermione said hopefully, that they would let her stay with Draco. They nodded in agreement.
'I will make you a new room in Slytherin, then. But, I do not know how long you will stay there. Perhaps until you feel safe in Gryffindor again,' Dumbledore said. Hermione smiled.

Meanwhile, Snape stopped by the dungeon to let Draco free.
'Good news, Malfoy. You are innocent, after all. Who knew,' Snape said smoothly, and unlocked Draco. Draco gave him a horrible look for slapping him before, and continued to walk briskly back to Slytherin.
'Oh, Draco?' Snape said as he followed. 'Im terribly sorry for..um..earlier. I just had no idea, please forgive me.'
'Yes, of course. Anything for you, Professor,' Draco said sarcastically. Snape smirked and was on his way.
Draco ran up to his dorm, and then he decided to go find Hermione to see what this was all about. He ran into her just as she was being escorted by Hagrid to Slytherin.
'Draco!' Hermione said happily as she tried to hug him, but he pushed away.
'What happened? Why did I get thrown into the dungeon?! I demand to know!' Draco said harshly. Hermione looked at him; the anger on his face made her sad.
'Im sorry about that. They thought it was you,' she said, looking down.
'Thought it was me that what? What happened!' Draco demanded. Hagrid looked nervous and he left them alone. He thought Draco would walk Hermione back to Slytherin.
'Um....' Hermione waited until Hagrid was gone to tell Draco what really happened. 'When you walked me back to Gryffindor, Harry was there. He brought me up to my room and raped me, hard. Hard enough that I bled, Draco, bled so much that it almost killed me. I passed out. I guess Harry told them he found me like that. They thought it was you that did it, since I was with you last. But Harry told me before he left me alone that I could not tell a soul, or hed come back for more, and kill you and Ron and others I care about, so I lied to them and told them a strange man did it,' Hermione said, running into Dracos arms, crying. Draco wrapped his powerful arms around her, and kissed her head.
'And Dumbledore said I could have a room in Slytherin to be near you, because thats where I said I felt the safest,' she said, still crying. Draco smiled gently.
'You-you really feel the safest with me?' He tilted her head up from his chest and looked into her tear-filled, bloodshot eyes.
Hermione smiled. 'Of course, Draco. I love you.'
'And I love you, Hermione. Dont worry, Ill get that Potter if I have to sacrifice my own life to kill him,' Draco whispered, carrying the crying, distraught Hermione back up to Slytherin.
