Draco carried the exaughsted Hermione up to Slytherin. He whispered the password, and entered the common room. The other Slytherins who were there instantly stopped talking as Draco walked through, carrying Hermione, who was now asleep; her head was tilted back. Draco looked so powerful then; carrying her like that. He had a look of sorrow on his face, but this look also submitted a defniate feeling of anger. The people in the room silently parted, forming a path in the middle of them. They watched as Draco carried Hermione not to her new dorm, but up to his own dorm.
Draco quietly opened the door, and layed back the covers on his huge bed. He gently placed Hermione there, and covered her. Draco kissed her on the forehead, and left the room to let her sleep. He closed the door, and locked it tightly shut. He slowly walked down the stairs, and entered the common room. Most of the students had either went to dinner, or had retreated to their own dorms. Draco walked to the green sofa, and sat down on it in front of the glowing fire. Gustof was sitting there, also. He was reading Hogwarts: A History. Draco looked over at the book, and smiled. He knew the book was Hermiones favorite. Gustof didnt even notice Draco sat down at first; he had his Muggle headphones on very loud.
Draco gently nudged Gustof, and he took off the headphones. They were blasting some kind of heavy rock. Gustof quickly turned them off, and closed the book. He smiled at Draco.
'What are you smiling about. Tell me, do you know what happened today?' Draco said, looking directly into Gustofs intense eyes.
'Of course, everyone was talking about it. How could i not have heard about what happened to Hermione?' Gustof said seriously, in that thick German accent. Draco shifted his weight; he was unconfortable being so close to Gustof.
'And tell me something else. Do you know who it was that did that to her?' Draco questioned, not taking his eyes off Gustofs. Gustof looked away.
'They thought it was you. I knew it wasnt you,' Gustof said, looking at the blazing fire. He was sitting very still on the sofa. Draco got up.
'You knew who did it, dont you?' Draco said, now towering over Gustof who was still seated. Gustof simply looked up at him, and shook his head. His jet-black hair shook as he did so.
'Bullshit,' Draco said, and briskly walked out of the common room, up to his dorm to think. Gustof watched Draco as he walked out. Yes, it was true that Gustof didnt know who had raped Hermione. The truth was, Harry never told him because he felt he couldnt trust Gustof yet. He knew that someone that evil could never be trusted.
**************
Draco must have sat in his dorm for hours, just thinking while Hermione slept. Gustof never came to bed, either. He rarely slept in that dorm with Draco. No one knew where he slept, but Draco suspected that he went roaming around Hogwarts all night. It was Gustofs nature to do so; he was very nocturnal. Since he was a child, he did not sleep at night. In fact, Draco had never seen him sleep at all.
It was pitch-black in the room, and all was quiet. It must have been nearing 12, when Draco awoke from his thought. Draco strained to see if Hermione was still asleep, and she was still lying there, snoring slightly. Draco smiled gently. His love for her was so great, and so real. Draco got up from his chair, and removed his clothing except for his boxers. He climbed into bed with Hermione. She faced away from him, and he put his arms around her protectively. Soon after, Draco fell into a deep sleep.
About 2 hours later, Hermione ubruptly awoke. She looked around to see where she was, and was almost startled to feel Dracos arms around her. Then she realized that she was in Dracos dorm, and how he carried her up there earlier. She smiled to herself. Hermione noticed that she had to use the bathroom-badly. She got up, but her whole body hurt. She made her way to the bathroom, and closed the door gently as to not wake Draco up. She did her buisness, but as she got up, she saw that she had bled some. 'Damn Harry, damn him,' she thought, tears swelling in her eyes. Hermione felt so unclean, so used. So confused, and angry. She flushed, and started to go out of the bathroom, when she felt the wind from the window brush her bare arms lightly. It was a cold breeze, too cold. She walked over to the small, only window in the bathroom, and cleared the green curtains out of the way. Hermione jumped back when she saw the window was closed, tightly shut. There was snow caked around the outside of the window; and it was snowing. Hermione quickly got out of there and shut the door, breathing fast and heavily. She layed back down, next to Draco. She must have dont it roughly, because she woke Draco up.
'Hermione-are you ok?' Draco asked as he rubbed his eyes, and yawned.
'Um, yes, it just that-'
'What happened?' Draco held her, sounding very concerned.
'I was just in there,' she said, pointing to the bathroom, 'And I felt a cold wind. I went to close the window, but it was already shut!'
Draco tried to calm her down, and kissed her face all over. 'This school is ancient. There are cracks in the walls, and cold winds do come in here,' he said trying to reassure her, but he was a little scared.
'But, just to be safe, wake me if you need to use the bathroom again,' Draco smiled at her, and she hugged him. He looked deep into her eyes, and he kissed her softly on the lips. She kissed Draco back, and caressed his exposed chest. Hermione soon fell asleep; as she felt protected by Dracos arms around her.
**************
The alarm woke them at 6, it was a Monday morning. Hermione stretched her arms, and got out of bed. Draco woke too, and he hopped out of bed but he was still tired.
'Good morning, my love!' Draco said, picking Hermione up, twirling her around, and bringing her back down to kiss her.
'Oh Draco, I love you so much!' she said as she hugged him with all her might, which wasnt that much might. Then, Hermione went in to shower. Draco waited by the door, just in case something happened. Hermione felt relieved after her shower. She did feel cleaner, and more happy. She also remembered Draco, which made a huge smile appear on her face. As Draco showered, Hermione dressed, and made herself look pleasant. She watched Draco dress, and when they were done, he walked her down to breakfast, hand in hand.
************
On their way down, they met up with Ron and Seamus.
'Oh, Hermione how are you doing? Weve been so worried about you!' Ron screamed as he ran up to hug Hermione. She almost fell back, but she laughed.
'Im doing just fine, Ron. Im glad to know someone other than Draco cared,' she said, playfully looking up at Draco, who smirked at her, and grabbed her from behind. She yelped and started to playfull hit him. He repsonded by kissing her full on the lips, and she put her arms around his neck.
'Oh, isnt this BEAUTIFUL?' Harry came up behind them, screaming. Draco gave Harry a look that said leave now. Harry laughed maliciously.
'Oh, what are you going to do, Malfoy?' Harry said, punching Draco in the chest. Draco stumbled back. As powerful of a wizard as Harry was, he couldnt punch for all he was worth. Draco returned the love by punching Harry right in the face, as hard as he possibly could. Everyone around could hear Harry's bones crack as he fell to the stone floor, unconsious. Hermione just stood back, gaping. She had no idea that Draco could fight like that.
'Come on, Hermione,' Draco said proudly as he put his arm around her, and they walked away. They didnt look back at Harry, who was bleeding all over the stone floor.
'Wicked!' Ron said, running to catch up with his friends.
