Hey everyone. Here's chapter 2. I know chapter 1 was dark, but I think rape is dark. I got a review that was uncalled for. I mean, I wrote don't read it if you're sensitive. I think there needs to be a story explaining rape.

sAnDiE, I didn't tell you to review. I actually told you not to. I can't believe you wrote something so weird and mean. I was joking with you online and you took it out of hand. I just told you I had a story. By the way, even though you say it wasn't a flame, it was. I prefer if you didn't review anymore of my stories. Thank you. So, all that cr*p you wrote was mean and uncalled for.

Emma, thank you for leaving a review. I'm glad you thought it was well written. That means a lot to me.

Trancos, thanks for your review. I like how you gave constructive criticism. Rape is a touchy subject. When I was younger, someone did stuff to me that almost rape. He was older and it's hard to yell or scream or say no. You feel overwhelmed, and shocked. You're really smart. Ginny was in shock, and overwhelmed by the bigger Draco, and that's why she didn't protest.

Jubilee Black, ah! Someone who finally likes my story! Hehe Thank you for your kind review. Now as you requested, more of the story.

Learning To Cope

Chapter 2

Ginny stepped away from the tree she had been leaning on since Draco had raped her. The words "because you deserved it" kept ringing in her ears. Had she deserved it? Had she deserved to be raped?

Gingerly, she picked up her bra. Her nerves were making her fumble with it. A minute later, she had it on and all of the hooks done. Ginny's shirt had been ripped in half and her underwear were covered in cum. She put on her robe and zipped it closed. Quickly, she rolled her soiled underwear into her ripped shirt and tucked the bundle under her left arm. She put her bangs over her forehead in a way that they cover the gash she had gotten from being hit in the head with a bottle.

The sun was beginning to set. Slowly, Ginny started to walk away. Her thighs and vagina were sore. Making it difficult to walk, but she kept on walking. Out of fear. Fear of being caught. Fear of being made fun of. Fear of being raped again.

It was getting darker. Night would there soon. Ginny wanted to move faster, but she couldn't. She in enough pain as it was. Ginny saw a tall dark figure approaching the grounds. She stood where she was. Frozen by fear. The figure came closer and closer. It was Hagrid.

He looked over at Ginny and said, "What are ya doing out here? Ya should go inside before it gets dark. Don't want to break the rule, do ya?"

Ginny nodded and continued to walk towards the castle. Hagrid noticed her slow movement and the discomfort she seemed to be having. "Are ya a'right?" he asked her.

"I'm fine," Ginny said softly. It was barely above a whisper and she was trying to keep from sobbing right there.

"Are ya sure? You look like you could use some help getting back into the castle," Hagrid said.

"I'm alright. I just did some exercises before and my legs feel weak. That's all," Ginny lied.

"If you need any help I wouldn't mind." Hagrid offered stepping closer to her.

"No, no. I'm fine," Ginny said backing away. She knew Hagrid would never hurt her but she was still in shock from the rape.

Hagrid noticed she seemed a bit skittish and decide not to press the issue. Ginny walked away and Hagrid looked over at the fountain, which she had just passed. He noticed the notebook and textbooks there. "Ginny, are those yours?" he asked.

She nearly jumped out of her skin and said, "What?"

"The books," Hagrid said pointing to the books on the ledge of the fountain.

"Oh, yes. They are," she said and groaned mentally.

Hagrid went over and picked them up and walked over to Ginny. He handed her the books gentley. "Thank you," Ginny said softly.

"You're welcome. You best be going now. Before it gets dark," Hagrid said.

Ginny nodded and walked off clutching her books. Hagrid watched as she slowly headed towards the castle. From the way she had acted, he couldn't believe she was walking like that because of exercise. Someone must have done something to hurt, but now wasn't time to question her. She was in no state to answer questions.

It took Ginny two minutes to walk into the castle. It took her twenty minutes to make it to the Gryffindor common room. There Ron, Hermione and Harry were sitting waiting for her. "What took you so long?" Ron asked as she entered the room.

Ginny just ignored him and walked slowly and painfully away. Harry noticed the way she was walking and said, "Ginny, what happened? Are you hurt?"

She just continued to walk slowly away until she reached the staircase to the fifth years girl dormitory. Slowly, she went down it.

"I wonder what's wrong with her? Why isn't she talking? Did you see the way she was walking? Hmmm? She looked hurt," Hermione began to rant sounding like a concerned mother.

"Well, since she's not talking to us, we'll never know. Unless someone goes and talks to her in her room," Ron said.

"Who should go?" Harry asked.

"Hermione of course. I mean she is the only one allowed in the GIRLS dormitory," Ron said.

"Well, I could go, too and so could you. We could use my invisibility cloak," Harry said.

"Nah, I think it's best if Mione goes. You know how girls like to talk to other girls," Ron said.

"I guess. Will you go, Hermione?" Harry asked looking at her.

"I want to. I mean she is my friend, and my boyfriend's sister, and I really want to know what is wrong, but I don't think I should. You just saw how she acted. She's in no mood to talk," Hermione said.

"Please, Hermione. Try to talk to her. She looked really upset, and I want to know what was wrong with my baby sis," Ron said.

"Yea, please. I want to know what happened to her, too," Harry said.

Hermione looked at them both in disbelief and said, "Fine, I will try to talk to her, but if she doesn't feel like talking I am not going to make her."

"Thanks, Mione," Ron said grinning.

Hermione blushed and said, "Your welcome."

Hermione got up and made her way to the stairs leading to the fifth year's girl dormitory and walked down them. Unlike Hermione who was head girl, Ginny had to share a room with six other girls. It was not the first time Hermione had been in Ginny's room. She had been in it many times that year.

The room was empty, except for Ginny's bed. There she was lying. Her back was to Hermione. Hermione walked over to her and say down on her bed. Ginny felt the sudden weight on her bed and get nervous. "Stay away from me!" she cried not seeing who it was.

"Ginny, what happened?" Hermione asked feeling upset for her friend.

Ginny turned over. She was on her side looking up at Hermione. Tears were running down her cheeks and her eyes were red and puffy. "He. He. He." Ginny sputtered she couldn't bring herself to tell Hermione the horrible truth.

"He what?" Hermione asked nervously. "Oh, God. It must be bad if she can't even say it out loud," she thought looking over at the trembling redhead.

Ginny gasped for air as she cried. The words "You better not tell anyone what I did. It would kill your poor fat mother" kept running through her head. Her head was throbbing. The bleeding had stopped, but it still hurt. Madam Pomfrey could make it better, but that would be to embarrassing. How could she explain it? She could never push her bangs away from her forehead for the rest of her life.

The silence was maddening. Hermione couldn't take it. She had to know what had happened to Ginny to make her act like this. Gently, she stroked Ginny's back trying to comfort her. Ginny shot up bolt straight and said, "Don't touch me!"

From Ginny moving so fast her bangs swayed. Part of the gash was revealed to Hermione was looking shocked at Ginny's outburst. "What happened to you?" she asked looking at the gash on Ginny's forehead.

"Nothing," Ginny said nervously as she tried to put the bangs back where they were. Afraid her secret would come out.

"You're hurt. You have to go to the Madam Pomfrey," Hermione said.

"No! No, I'm not!" Ginny said histerically.

Hermione knew Ginny was hurt and she needed to see the nurse. She grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

"Let me go!" Ginny screamed.

It was a long walk to the hospital wing. Especially when you have to drag someone against their will while they're kicking and screaming. Ginny was causing a real commotion. The only good thing was all of the students were in their rooms. So no one could see the scene Ginny was making.

As they entered the hospital wing, Hermione said, "Madam Pomfrey, Ginny needs your help."

Madam Pomfrey walked over to Hermione who was holding Ginny by her arm. Ginny tried to pull away from her grip and said, "No I don't! I'm fine!"

Madam Pomfrey looked at the gash and said, "You do need my help. That's a nasty cut and it could get infected. Sit down on a bed please."

Ginny glared at Hermione and sat down the nearest bed. Hermione let go of her arm, but stood close to her. Looking as if she was standing guard of Ginny. Madam Pomfrey came over with tray. She poured a purple liquid onto a few cotton balls. She rubbed on them on Ginny's gash. Ginny squirmed, because it felt like burning. Madam Pomfrey placed gauze on Ginny's forehead and taped it in place with medical tape.

"I don't need it!" Ginny said and tried to rip the gauze off of her burning forehead. With that on her forehead everyone would know what happened to her Ginny thought.

"Miss. Weasley, calm yourself or I will have to restrain you," Madam Pomfrey said not believing her behavior.

Ginny nodded and Madam Pomfrey said, "Miss. Granger, may we talk in private?"

"Yes, Madam Pomfrey," Hermione said and got up. They walked over to the far end of the wing.

"How did she get that gash? It most have been traumatic. She is acting hysterical." Madam Pomfrey said.

"I don't know. I wasn't there and she won't tell me," Hermione said feeling bad for Ginny.

"Well, I think she is in shock," Madam Pomfrey said.

"What would send a person in shock?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, lots of things. With a case like her, it's hard to tell what happened. I doubt we will ever know unless she decides to tell us," Madam Pomfrey said.

"What should we do?" Hermione asked.

"For now, nothing else I am afraid. Just be gentle with her and try to calm. If she gets worse alert me immediately." Madam Pomfrey said.

Hermione nodded and went back to Ginny. "You can leave now," she told Ginny.

"I feel sore. I don't want to walk back to my room," Ginny said sadly.

"Lifteous en follous," Hermione said and Ginny floated in the air. Hermione started to walk to Hermione's room and Ginny floated along. They entered Ginny's room and Hermione helped her into bed.

"I'm sorry I acted so stupid," Ginny said crying.

"It's alright. Just tell me what happened when you're ready," Hermione said.

"Ok," Ginny said tiredly.

Hermione smiled and left the room. She headed back to the common room. Both Ron and Harry were sitting there by themselves. "What took you so long? You were there for three hours," Ron said.

"Well, I was right, she wouldn't tell me what happened. She had a cut on her forehead. She was hiding it with her bangs. I saw it and took her to the nurse. She had a fit. Then, she had a fit because Madam Pomfrey put gauze on it. Madam Pomfrey thinks she's acting strangely because she's in shock, but she doesn't know what put her in shock. She just told me to alert her if she keeps acting strangely." Hermione said and took a deep breath.

"My sister's gone bonkers!" Ron exclaimed.

"She had not. She's just upset over what happened to her. She didn't tell you anything that happened, Hermione?" Harry asked.

"She just cried and kept saying he. Whatever happened to her was so horrible she wouldn't say it out loud." Hermione replied.

"He, huh? I'll bet you it was Malfoy or one of his cronies. He's been meaner than anything since his evil father got sent to Azkaban." Harry said.

"Yeah, it probably was that stupid git," Ron said angrily.

"We don't know that for sure, " Hermione said.

"It was him. I know it. I just know he did something to Ginny." Harry said with fire in his green eyes.

"How can we help Ginny? She won't talk about what happened," Ron said.

"Maybe we should try talking to her again," Harry said hopefully.

"I doubt that will work. We'll just have to wait until she's ready to tell us what happened," Hermione said.

"Well, I'm going to see her now," Harry said as he got up.

As he walked away, Hermione said, "He's restless."

Harry walked in the fifth year's girl dormitory in his invisibility cloak. The room was dark. Harry found Ginny's bed and climbed. The curtains were closed. He placed a silencing charm on it and said, "Ginny wake up!"

Ginny woke up scared. "Who is it?" she asked scared.

"It's me, Harry," he said lighting his wand.

"Why are you here? I don't feel like talking. Please leave," she said politely.

"No, Ginny we need to talk," he said. His eyes were fixed on the white guaze that covered her forehead.

"No we don't. Leave or I'll tell you were in my room," Ginny said sternly.

"Oh, come on, Ginny. Hermione told Ron and me what happened when she came to talk to you. Why are you acting like this? What did Malfoy do to you?" Harry asked.

Ginny got nervous as Harry mentioned the name Malfoy. She tensed up and said, "It has nothing to do with Malfoy!"

"It doesn't?" Harry asked shocked.

"No, it doesn't. Now, sod off. I don't want to talk to you," she said.

"Ginny, don't be like that. Please, tell me what happened to you." Harry said.

Ginny refused to say anything. She wanted Harry to leave. She didn't want to talk about her rape. Maybe if she didn't talk about it, it would mean it never happened.

Harry placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "Don't be like that."

Ginny slapped him across the face and said, "Don't touch me! Get out of my bed!"

Harry just wrapped his cloak around himself and left the bed. He silently left the room and made his way to his room. The next morning, Harry got up early. He got dressed quickly and made his way to Dumbledor's office. It was easy to guess the password this time which was Chocolate Frogs.

Dumbledor saw Harry from his office and said, "Come in, Harry."

Harry came in and said, "I need your help."

"What is?" Dumbledor asked.

"It's Ginny. Something happened to her. Something bad, but she won't tell anyone. She's acting strangely now. Madam Pomfrey thinks she's in shock." Harry said.

"I see. Well, I will talk to her. Go and fetch her. I will talk to her now. See if I can help." Dumbledor said his blue eyes twinkling.

Harry smiled and said, "Thank you sir," as he walked out.
