Crucio
It had been about an hour since Hermione's band had left. Draco didn't wake once, even when they were making a lot of noise. It was 7:05 on the nose and Harry and Hermione sat on the couch, waiting. "Do you think he'll really come," Hermione asked. "He might," Harry replied. There was a soft knock on the door, Hermione jumped. Harry squeezed her hand gently and stood up. When he opened the door, no one was there. Hermione whimpered and Harry whipped around. Standing in front of Hermione, grinning maliciously, was none other then Lucius Malfoy himself.
~Draco's POV~
I couldn't see anything, it was all dark, but I knew I was still in Hermione's house. "You won't touch her Malfoy," Harry said. 'Potter? What's Potter doing in my dream,' Draco thought. "Please Harry! Don't drag yourself into this," Hermione pleaded. "Moine, he'll hurt you, I won't let him do anyth" Harry's words were cut short and there was a loud 'Thud'. I could hear him laughing, my father I mean. "Harry!" Hermione cried. "Now for you, my dear mudblood," Lucius said, "CRUCIO!" There was a short silence, then I heard him yell the curse again, and Hermione's screams filled my ears. I tried to get up, but I couldn't. I needed to help Hermione, she needed me, but I couldn't even lift my eyes open.
~Hermione's POV~
Harry squeezed my hand softly and got up to open the door, but I was to busy watching as a man with silver-blonde hair and cold, hard grey eyes pulled off an invisibility cloak. I whimpered, I couldn't help it, I was so afraid. Harry whipped around, his wand pointed at Lucius. "Ah Harry, how nice to see you again," Lucius said smirking. "Get out of my house Malfoy," I said, mustering my courage. "Miss. Granger I presume? I have business with you," Lucius said coldly, turning to face me again.
"You won't touch her Malfoy," Harry spat. "Please Harry, don't drag yourself into this," I said, pleading with my eyes. "Moine, he'll hurt you, I won't let him do anyth" Harry was cut short as he was thrown backwards into the wall. He slumped to the ground, knocked out. "Harry!" I yelled, running over to him. Lucius was laughing, a glint in his eyes that I didn't like. "Now for you, my dear mudblood," Lucius said, "CRUCIO!" I fell to the ground, wincing in pain. White hot knives were stabbing me all over. He took the spell off and muttered it again. This time, the pain was tripled, I couldn't take it, I screamed, a loud piercing scream.
The pain stopped again and I lay on the ground, not daring to move. My chest heaved up and down slowly. My breathing ragged. "Now mudblood, what are you doing with Draco?" Lucius asked, wand still pointed at me. I didn't answer, I couldn't answer. It felt as though if I opened my mouth, I would throw up. "Answer me!" Lucius yelled. I still didn't answer. Lucius kicked my side and I flipped over onto my back, clutching my side. "A mudblood like you, should not be associating with my son, he unlike you, is a pureblood and I will not allow this to happen," Lucius said. I felt his foot clash with my face, right above my eye, I cried out in pain.
"Did that hurt mudblood?" Lucius asked. He kicked me again, this time in the ribs, I felt my ribs break, god did it hurt. He kept kicking me, I lost track of how many times or where, all I know, was that when he was done, I couldn't move, even blinking hurt. The pain was indescribable, I just wanted the pain to end, he should just kill me now, but no, I won't show him I'm afraid, and he won't just end my suffering, he'll make it worse. I could hear him laughing, and just for fun, he yelled the spell again, it almost killed me, if it wasn't for the fact that it stopped so quickly. I opened my eyes slowly, but even that hurt like a mother.
Draco stood in the door way, holding his wand in his wand hand, and his father's wand in the other hand. Draco glared at his father and walked over to me, he knew Lucius wouldn't do anything without his wand. "Don't you dare touch that piece of scum Draco Lucius Malfoy! Don't you dare," Lucius yelled. Draco ignored him and pulled me into his arms and rocked me. It felt so good to be in his arms again, I smiled weakly at him. "Wake Harry," I mouthed. Draco nodded and picked me up and placed me on the couch. He walked over to Harry and pointed his wand at him. "Enervate," Draco murmured.
Harry's eyes snapped open; he sat up and glared at Lucius. "Watch Moine, I need to take care of my father," Draco said coldly. Harry nodded and bolted to my side. "Let's get you upstairs Moine," he said. He gently picked me up and carried me into my room and laid me on my bed. "Don't let him hurt Draco," I whispered painfully. Harry nodded and quickly wrote a note to Dumbledore. 'It's a good thing Moine lives so close to Hogwarts,' Harry thought. He tied the note to Midnight's leg and told her to take it to Dumbledore and watched the hawk fly off. Harry could hear Draco yelling at his father; obviously Lucius was nothing without his wand.
I had fallen into a painful sleep and Harry was pacing. About half an hour later, Dumbledore apperated into my room. "What's happening?" Dumbledore asked. "Draco is dueling Lucius at the moment," Harry said, "Lucius also used the cruciatius curse on Moine and he physically abused her." Dumbledore's eyes were wild with fire and he ran out of the room and downstairs. "STUPEFY!" Dumbledore yelled. Draco came up a few minutes later, a few cuts and scrapes, but nothing more. "Is she going to be ok?" Draco asked Dumbledore. "She should be fine, once we get her cleaned up," Dumbledore replied. Albus took out some potions and started to pour them down my throat and on my cuts, I could feel them healing and I began to sleep more peacefully.
"I cleaned up the living room and Ministry officials took Lucius to Azkaban," Dumbledore said, "Mr. Malfoy, I need you to watch her." Draco nodded and watched as Dumbledore dissaperated from the room. "I have to go too," Harry said, "Ginny is probably worried." And with that, Harry also dissaperated, leaving Draco and me alone. Draco took my hand and kissed my forehead. "Please get better Moine," he said softly. He climbed into bed with me and wrapped his arms around me and fell asleep.
~A/N- Oh, if you were wondering, the kids were asleep with silencing charms on their rooms during all of this, guess I should have mentioned that huh? lol, oh well. R&R please!!
