~
After a long goodbye (which was
full of lies and fake affection on Victors part) Hermione was on the train with
her parents, leaving Bulgaria to go to their home in Wales.
Hermione was quiet the entire time, which is very much unlike her, and her mother
caught it. "Hermione, dear, what's wrong? You have been so quiet! I was
expecting you to be halfway to talking my ear off by now." Her mom's small
joke was cancelled out when Hermione saw the worry in her mother's eyes, and
she could not bear to make them worry more, so she lied. "I'm sorry
mum," Hermione said in what she hoped was a sincere voice. "I just
find myself missing Victor already." "Ah, that is understandable
honey." Her dad said, with a twinkle in his eye. "So I don't suppose
you're real interested in the other men in your life?"
And with that, he pulled out a letter from his coat jacket, addressed to
Hermione, in what looked like Ron's untidy scrawl. "Oh!" Hermione
said, feeling more excitement then she had all break, and took the letter from
her father. It read:
Hey Hermione, Why haven't you been answering Harry's and my posts? Oh well, I'm
sure you where to busy with Vicky to remember your poor humble others. Anyway,
would you like to come finish break with us at the burrow? Harry is already
here, and of course Ginny misses you, and wants to hear about all the snogging you where doing. (On reading that, Hermione
blushed with shame and embarrassment) please come Hermione! We all miss you! No
need to return our post, just come! Yours, Ron.
"Oh mom!" Hermione said, with true happiness in her voice. "Ron
and Harry and Ginny want me to come to the burrow for the rest of break! May I?
I can get my school supplies in Diagon ally
too!" "Oh Hermione!" Her mother said, have sad, but half proud.
"You're growing up so fast; I don't know what to do with you! Of course
you may go, but please come home first, you need to freshen up and get more
clothes." Thank you mom." And with that, Hermione fell asleep, the
first peaceful sleep she had had in ages.
~
"Hermione dear, wake up!" Someone was gently shaking Hermione as she
groggily opened her eyes. It was semi dark out and a bit chilly inside the
train car. "Hermione, we're home, time to go home." "That sounds
good mom."
With that, Hermione hoisted herself onto shaky legs and walked out to the
waiting car in the station parking lot. After 10 minutes of driving, they
reached the Granger house. Calling it a house, though, would be a small
understatement. The grangers, unknown to everyone, where quite wealthy. Mr.
Granger Had been a Surgeon before he became a dentist, and he was a highly paid
and highly respected doctor of all forms. Hermione sighed with fatigue and
walked up the marble steps into her room, and without undressing, she fell upon
her bed and slept.
"uuaagghh"
Hermione let out a low groan when she awoke the next morning. "Mmm, what time is it." Looking over at the clock, she
read 10:25. With that, she got up and went to her privet bath, and
cleaned herself up.
Stepping out of the shower, she saw that her mother had unpacked all of her
makeup and hair things. Hermione smiled to herself, because now she could do
her hair and makeup the way she wanted, and no abuse would come at her. She
quickly combed and blow dried her hair, and stood in front of the mirror,
experimenting with the makeup. Finally after getting her face to look just how
she wanted, she took a step back and admired herself.
There was no doubt about it. Hermione was a knock out. Although she didn't
think so, all her features played against her just right. Her shoulder length
brown-blonde hair was still sleek from the makeover day she had earlier that
summer. Her lips where full and her nose was button-cute. She had a figure that
most girls her age would die for, and her eyes, well, her eyes where the color
of honey, soft and smooth. But her eyes could be the thing that could give away
the pain and secrets she held inside. Her eyes, which used to be alive with a
sparkle and a thirst for knowledge, where now dull. Hermione stepped closer to
the mirror and looked at them, then shrugged. "Who is going to be staring
into my eyes like that anyway? Victor never looked anywhere above the
neck." With that, she went into her room, dressed in another pair of fresh
blue jeans, and another long sleeved) V-neck shirt, and packed her truck; she
was going to see Ron and Harry!
*Ding Dong!* a very loud and out of tune doorbell seemed to shake the Weasly cottage, but that shake was nothing to the heard of
kids pounding to the door. As the door burst open, Hermione was swept away by
Harry, who along with Ron carried her into the kitchen without so much as a
"Hello". Then she saw Ginny. "HERMIONE!!!" Ginny said,
screeching at the sight of her friend. "Hi Gin! Hi Harry! Helllloooo Ron!" Hermione was teasing Ron, as he had
his shirt off, obviously was just dressing as Hermione came to the door.
Everybody laughed at that, and Hermione got a sudden feeling of uneasiness, but
the laughed again when she saw where it came from.
Harry and Ron where looking at her like she grew hippogriff wings. They where
looking at her up and down, then down and up. "Well you guys"
Hermione said, stifling a giggle. "Put your eyes back in, it's me your oogling at!" Then Ron spoke up. "Hermione! What
do you have all over your face?" The familiarity of that line struck fear
into Hermione's heart, and her eyes welled up with tears. "Oh
Hermione!" Harry said, gaining his composure, "Ron didn't mean it
like that! We know that's makeup, but what he meant was, if he's thinking the
same thing as me, you look gorgeous!! What happened?? My God Hermione, you look
like you bloomed into a beauty queen!" Harry, suddenly realizing what he
just said, blushed the color that Ron was most famous
for. Hermione, getting over herself, laughed at Harry's uneasiness, and hugged
her two best friends tight. "I've missed you guys, more then you will ever
know" "If you missed us so much," Ron said, looking flushed at
touching her with his shirt off. "Why haven't we heard from you in two and
a half months?" "Hermione looked down at her shoes, and said that the
owls that Victor used where all ill with a sickness that was going around the
owls of that region. "Ginny looked at her with a
weird expression on her face, but Ron and Harry nodded, indicating they
understood. With that, the four friends went outside (well, Ron went outside
after grabbing a shirt) and talked for hours.
That night, Hermione lay in Ginny's room thinking about her friends. Harry and
Ron had changed a lot as well. It looked as though Hermione wasn't the only one
who matured.
Harry's green eyes where brilliant as always, but this time he didn't have them
hidden behind his thick black glasses. No, He had told Hermione that, since Mr.
Weasly loved some package Harry gave him; He told
Harry he would do something for him, and asked Harry what he wanted. Harry had
decided he had had enough with his glasses, and because the durstlys
would willingly grow pig tails then help Harry in anyway, he asked Mr. Weasly to magically fix Harry's vision, and he did. Yea,
Harry definitely looked good without his glasses. He had also grown a lot as
well, standing a good 3 or 4 inches over Hermione.
Ron, on the other hand, had taken a fantastic growth spurt, standing a good 5
or 6 inches over Hermione. His Red hair had tuned a brilliant red- orange, and
his Blue eyes sparkled. But what Hermione was most surprised with was how good
he looked without a shirt. When she made the Helllllloo
Ron comment, she really was taken.
Hermione fell asleep, and dreamed of all the wonderful things she would be able
to do now, now that the shadow that haunted her for so long was gone.
~
Hermione woke with a start the next day. She had been awoken by the birds
chirping outside, and was wondering why Victor hadn't beaten her out of bed by
now, and then she looked over to the bed beside her and realized where she was.
Ginny was still asleep. Hermione grew faintly jealous of the peaceful
expression on her friend's face, like Ginny hadn't a care in the world.
"Of course she doesn't." Hermione said, somewhat bitterly. "I'm
the only one whose life has become hell." In a sense that was true. Her
friends had in fact, relaxed emesly since the fall of
Lord Voldemort.. Then Hermione heard a rough knock on
the door, and immediately curled into a ball and started trembling slightly,
simply from the memories and paranoia…Hermione was not supposed to be with Ron
and Harry.
"Hermione?" "Ginny?" A voice that Hermione recognized as
Harry's said softly through the door. Hermione didn't answer, she didn't know
why, but she felt she had to keep quiet. Someone then gently pushed the door
open, and there was Ron and Harry, looking around the room.
When their eyes came onto a very frighten looking Hermione, Their faces
immediately filled with concern. Harry was the first to make it to the bed, and
sat down beside her and Ron at the foot. "Hermione! What's wrong?"
Harry said, looking worried. "N-nothing guys, just a-a bad dream."
Hermione hated lying to her 2 best friends, but she couldn't risk putting them
in danger.
Victor was much bigger and more experienced with magic. Hermione sat up in bed
and immediately wished she hadn't.
"Hermione! What are those bruises from?" Ron said, indicating to her
shoulder, and running along her entire arm. Harry's eyes also flicked up to her
cheek where, without makeup, a yellow bruise was still visible. "Flying
accident." Hermione mumbled another lie. "And my dream was about my
flying accident."
Hermione thought herself very clever, able to pull two
lies together and make them believable, and she thought her two friends would
let it go, but they didn't. "Hermione," Harry said, looking at her
with a visible amount of doubt on his face. "You know how to fly a broom
perfectly well, how could you possibly have had an
accident?"
"Victor accidentally got a little rough in the air. Accidentally!!"
Hermione added the last word, when she say Ron's face get clouded. "And
you know how I am with brooms, I may be able to fly, but they just don't like
my very much." Hermione looked at them sincerely, hoping they would
believe it. And to her relief, their faces cleared up, and they smiled at her.
"Ok Hermione, just as long as you're alright now." Ron said, flashing
a grin. "Yea Herm." Harry added. "Oh, and you better wake up
Ginny and get dressed, we're going to go get our school things today."
Hermione brightened consirably and nodded, and with
that, the boys left the room.
Two hours later, Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione where in the magical diagon ally. Even though Hermione had been there many
times, it still didn't help the fact that Diagon ally
was the most Magical place out there, except for Hogwarts of course.
"Let's go to Florish and Blotts!"
Hermione said, with renewed energy and excitement. Harry and Ron laughed, and
Harry said. "Well of course Herm, but I can't understand why you of all
people would want to go to a BOOK store!" And with all of them laughing,
they walked into the store.
Hermione stopped dead when she walked into the book store. She continued
staring at a slightly hunched figure and immediately knew who it was, without
saying a word, she quietly and quickly tuned around and walked out of the
store, and up the street until she arrived at a tiny ice cream shop. "That
was close." Hermione sighed and sat down. "But not close enough,
Hermione dear." Hermione went rigid at the sound of the voice, she knew
who it was and was too afraid to turn. Victor was right behind her and without
drawing attention, grabbed Hermione's hair and led her to Knockturn
Ally.
Hermione knew better then to yell
out; she just kept walking in the direction of the dirty alleyway. Victor led
her into what looked like an abandoned broom shop. She could definitely see why
it was abandoned, she saw spiders and rats everywhere, and the air was as foul
as rotten eggs.
"Why are you with Potter and Weasley?" Victor asked in a voice that dripped
hatred. "I-I'm staying the rest of the summer at Ron's house, with Harry
there too." Hermione said this in a very shaky voice, but she refused to
break. "Slut!" He spat at her, and she felt humiliated. "You
whore, now you want to get it from two men? You realize I cannot tolerate this
Hermione; your stupidity has put your friends in a most uncomfortable position.
But I'm willing to let it go for now." He smiled at her, but she wouldn't
look him in the eyes. Then he did something that completely surprised Hermione
(although it shouldn't have) He slammed her against a cold wall and started
unbuttoning her jeans. "Victor!" Cried Hermione horrified, "What
are you doing?" "What does it look like I'm doing? Filthy Mudblood"
Hermione felt as if she had been slapped. He had called her many horrible
names, but never the wizarding word. It was true, The
Krum's are as pure as the Malfoys, but Hermione never
thought they where segregated against muggle-borns.
"Victor Stop!" But he didn't. Did he have no honor? Hermione realized
she was going to be raped-again. In a filthy broom shop no less. She listened
to Victors labored breathing and felt his hard-on press up against her leg.
He was still trying to unzip her jeans, being all wizard,
he had never needed to wear them. Finally he got them, and stripped everything
off of her. He then started to take his pants off, just his pants though. Then,
as suddenly and as painfully as the first time he had done it, he was inside
her. Hermione yelled out, Victor was always rough, but standing against a rough
stone wall was making her hurt even more. "Victor stop!"
Victor didn't stop. He didn't even acknowledge the fact that she was crying, or
even that she existed, besides what he was getting from her. He was roughly
playing with her breasts and biting her in various places. He was thrusting so
hard it's a wonder Hermione didn't start to bleed again. Oh the blood.
"What did I do?" Hermione asked herself again, just as all the other
times before. When will Victor ever be through with me? He has taken
everything- He has taken my virginity! My innocence! The one thing I held the
most valued in my life. He had taken my dignity time and time again; he had
taken my body, used it to his content, and thrown it away time and time again.
Victor had begun to pick up the pace, Thrusting and thrusting. She heard him
moan as he released inside of her. Hermione on the other hand, felt nothing. No
pleasure at all. Victor withdrew and looked at her, up and down. She must have
looked like a wreak, she was naked, and sweating, but
it wasn't her sweat, no, it was his. She was cold as ice. He spat on her again.
"Get dressed." He demanded and threw her clothes at her. Hermione
felt herself tremble, and she rehooked her bra, and
stepped back into her panties. She had just finished zipping up her jeans when
she felt herself go weak. "Hurry up pig!" Victor said cruelly.
"Maybe if you weren't so fat you could be quicker." He said this all
with a sneer that made Hermione want to vomit.
Hermione could feel herself blacking out. "No! I can't let him see me do
that!" But against all her efforts, she slipped into a peaceful, but
fighting darkness.
