Chapter 19

Healing

            He rolled off of me to his side panting. He looked at me out of the corner of his eye and began to moan to the ceiling. I couldn't stop from shaking; I was messed up for life.

"Granger, that was…great. I thought you would fight a bit more." He began to laugh shaking his head slowly from side to side. I wanted to move and run, but I couldn't, I felt cold and sick. I did what I could only think of, and that was to cry, loud soulful cries.

"Hermione! Hermione where are you?" I turned the corner, coming from the Gryffindor common room. I began towards the Charms classroom thinking that she still might be there looking for her favorite quill. I had given her that quill for Christmas two years ago. I opened the Charms door and went ridge with the sight I saw.

Draco Malfoy was on top of Hermione, obviously having sex, Hermione was crying.

"MALFOY! YOU GET THE HELL OFF OF HERMIONE!" I ran towards him and pulled him off of her.

"Hermione!" I said looking down at her, she was shaking. Malfoy was zipping his pants, prepared to leave the room. I grabbed him with both hands.

"You asshole, how could you? How DARE you attack Hermione." I withdrew my wand and pointed it at him.

"I'll kill you Malfoy, I swear." My voice was shaking. He wouldn't say anything; he just continued to stare at Hermione on the floor.

"STOP IT Malfoy! Stop looking at her!" I shrugged my robes off my shoulders and laid them on top of Hermione's half naked body. She had stopped shaking and her eyes were closed, but she was still breathing. I couldn't help but sob, Hermione was hurt.

"Stupefy." I said, Malfoy froze and fell to the ground as if he was a fallen statue.

I went to gather Hermione up. I fell beside her, pushing her hair out of her clammy face. Her eyes were opened now, staring into mine. She lifted her hand helplessly, she began to cry.

"I prayed for you…for…you…to…co…come…and…d…save me." She struggled to sit up and I assisted her. She stood up leaning against me. I lifted her to carry her to the Hospital wing. It seems like this year we've been in and out of the Wing more than when Voldermort was out and about.

 I levitated Malfoy in front of us, hoping for the worst for him.

"Ow…Colin…My side…" I was lying beside Colin on his bed. He looked at me with concern. My left rib was throbbing; I thought maybe it wasn't healed completely. Colin was helping me heal both physically and mentally. I actually felt like I was in love. He had my heart in his warm hands. He would hold me and whisper to me, he would sing something to me and he would tell me kind stories about how life would be with me in it.

"Colin, I love you."

"I love you too Ginny."

Little did he know I still had Draco's necklace in my pants pocket, holding it dear to me.

Draco was suspended from Hogwarts for the rest of the remaining year. His father still had connections. It was all bullshit to me. I was attacked, and so were Lavender and countless other girls. I wanted to scream, I had to see him next year, but, that was our last year. Harry cuddled me that night, rocking me, telling me about our plans after Hogwarts. He said we would live in a beautiful house with large windows and that we'd have twenty kids that we would love and take care of. He was healing me slowly and carefully. I feel asleep in his arms, dreaming about his thoughts.
