Disclaimer: I'm in a good mood today so, No I do not own Harry Potter or any of it's characters. But I do own the plot. Don't sue me. Thanx

!#$%&

For the next five days I moped around Ron's appartment. Ron said I was depressed. Ginny's wedding was in three days now, so that put more pressure on me to get better. But you can't necessarily 'get better' from being depressed, can you? I needed to sort out my thoughts, and think about them, instead of staring at the back of my mind, replaying that night's events over and over until I started crying again. Most impotantly I needed someone to talk to. Sure, there was Ron, Ginny, and even Harry, but I didn't want to feel like I was complaining. And I sure as hell didn't want people feeling sorry for me, saying, 'Aww. Poor Hermione almost got screwed by Draco! Send her a fruit basket for me!' to their house elves. Although Mrs. Weasley had had alot to say about it once Ron told her the next day. She insisted that she Apperate right over to comfort me, but I refused, I didn't want anyone near me. I even ended shunning Ron out for the first two days. But I made up for it on the third night. (A/N: muahaha -winks-) Although it wasn't quite as romantic as we planned.

Ginny would be coming over soon, she had been coming everyday for the past four days! I felt so bad because her wedding was so close; Ron tried to see me as much as possible and called constantly from work.

I sat on the couch in silence, the way I liked it for the moment. I didn't want anyone to bother me. I started to space out, but shortly after that I heard a knock at the door.

"Hermione?" The person called.

I came back from my daze, and opened the door. Harry stood there with a bouquet of assorted flowers. He handed them to me. "Oh! Thank you!" I hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you so much!"

"What? For the flowers? No problem." He smiled. "Their from both Ginny and I."

"Well...for the flowers," I hesitated, I hadn't really talked about 'that night' to anyone accept bits and peices to Ginny while she was over. "And for saving me...God knows what could have happened." I paused and looked down at the flowers. "I've been meaning to ask; How did you and Ron know what was happening?"

"Oh.." Harry led me to the couch and sat down; I sat next to him. "Well, after Ron and I got in the car we saw you go off with Malfoy." His eyes gleamed with fire at the name. "Ron was furious that you'd actually go with him so we followed you to his house and stayed outside in the car. We actually used one of Fred and George's Extendable Ears that Ron had in the car. (Fred and George gave him one as a gift.) That's when we heard you scream and I went running; Ron got his foot stuck in a hole and tripped but so when I went back to help he yelled at me to just go get you..." Harry looked at his feet.

"Well I'm glad Fred and George are such pranksters! And that you and Ron are so caring..." My eyes filled with tears but I blinked and they were gone.

Harry clutched my hand, "Ron really loves you, Hermione. He doesn't want to loose you."

"I know." I sobbed. "I love him too. Alot. But I am just not myself these days. I wish I could just get over this. I feel so bad..."

"Don't feel bad, it's Malfoy's fault - not yours. Don't blame any of this on yourself." There was silence for about three minutes when Harry decided to change the subject. "Well I came over here in the first place because Ginny wanted me to tell you that you need to come over to try on your dress. And then tonight is the rehersal. Better get on some decent clothes."

"Oh." I looked down at my sweat pants and T-shirt. "Right..I'll be right back."

!#$$%&

The rehersal went well and before I knew it, it was the day of the wedding. Ron and I Apperated to the Burrow, and went our seperate ways to get ready. I still had traces of bruises, which I had almost forgotten about until Ginny gasped and ran to get her wand. "Hermione! Why didn't you get rid of those the next day! Or tell me about them atleast! I could have done it!"

"I forgot.."I mumbled. Which was the truth; I was too in shock to remember the pain of brusies everytime I moved my arms or put a hand on my face, because that pain just blended in with the pain I had inside of me. Ginny muttered a spell and my peachy skin was clearly visible without any traces of black and blue. I looked in a mirror (for the first time in days) and saw that the bruise on my face had also gone away.

I twirled around in my dress once and got my wand out. Within a couple of spells my hair was in beautiful, tamed locks that famed my face. And I had on a pinkish blush with my eyes outlined in a whitish-red eyeshadow, and finally maroon lipstick to match the dress. I turned to see Ginny almost done getting ready. Her pink dress was beautifuly made by Mrs. Weasley. Ginny's hair was in a curled bun and she had her bangs curled on the sides of her face. Her make-up was very light; She had a tiny bit of blush on her cheeks, and light pink eyeshadow on her lids. Then a toner and gloss on her lips.

After Ginny and the rest of the brides maids were done getting ready I snuck out of the room to go find Ron. I also wanted to talk to Harry for a quick moment. I gathered that they were in Ron's old room so I opened the door and there they were.

"Wow! Hermione you look beautiful!" Ron exclaimed, picking me up and lightly swinging me around.

I kissed him on the cheek. "And you look extra handsome!" I giggled.

"I see you got rid of your bruises?" He whispered, his face going serious.

"Yea..Ginny did it for me." I replied, walking over toward Harry, who was fixing his already straight tie.

"Harry... I know you don't want to hear this on your wedding day, but listen up. Think before you speak. Well, accept for when you're saying your vows. But you know what I mean. I know you're really nervous.."

Harry nodded and sipped on a glass of water. I walked back over to Ron and hugged him tight. "Never let go of me...I just want to stay like this forever." I told him.

"I won't; I promise you." He tightened his grip around my back.

"Hermione! Dear, it's almost time! Back to the girl's room!" Mrs. Weasley's voice came. I said good bye to Harry and Ron and went back to the room. Ginny was getting nervous too. I told her that I talked to Harry, and that everything would be fine.

The music started and I watched as the flower girl (Bill's five year old daughter; First Weasley granddaughter) and ring barrier (Fred's 3 year old son; First Weasley grandson) came down the isle that was made in the backyard. Everything looked beautiful, and the weather couldn't have been better. It wasn't hot, but just cool enough to be content while outside.Ginny and Mr. Weasley came next. I could see Harry shift his weight and gape at her beauty as she, smiling widely, came down the isle. I could tell by their looks that they had both forgotten about being nervous. Ginny reached Harry and the vows started. I hard a small cry and looked over to see Mrs. Weasley dab her eyes in the front row.

"Do you, Harry James Potter, take Ginerva Molly Weasley to be your loftly wedded wife?" Albus Dumbledore said. (A/N: LMFAO!!!)

"I do." Harry smiled.

"And do you, Ginerva Molly Weasley, take Harry James Potter to be your loftly wedded husband?"

"I do." She beamed.

"I now pronounce you man and wife." Dumbledore finished. "You may kiss your bride."

(A little something you need to know that wasn't mentioned)

On Harry's side was Lupin, friends from the Ministry, Neville, Colin, Dennis, Seamus, Dean, that whole possy.

On Ginny's side was Fred and George, their kids, Alicia and Angelicia, Lee, Katie, Bill, his wife, their kids, Charlie and his wife and kids, Percy and Penelope, their child. Also Parvati, Luna, and any other friend she may have had.

A/N: A little short but the next chapter is very exciting, and then the next chapter is the last one, but it is VERY long, and then I will have an Afterwords thing. Also, I need to find a way to fit in the memory being modified..I think I will do that right now. lol So here 'tis! (It's the next day)

The next morning I awoke beside Ron. I had totally forgotten Draco and all that had happened, all I knew was that I hate a great night and the after party was fantastic! I sat up and ruffled Ron's hair, waking him up. "Wake up sleepy head..."

"Nuh uh..." He mumbled. "S'too early..."

"No it's not it's 10:00. And your susposed to get up early on Sundays'."

"Well we-" He yawned. "-Got to bed at around 4:00...s'I think I need more sleep..."

I laid back down and snuggled myself deep in the covers. Ron wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck softly.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too, 'Mione."

Ten minutes later I had finally gotten Ron up by hitting him in the head with a pillow and starting a massive pillow fight, which ended as a ticking fight. I was sitting at the kitchen table across from Ron when the thought passed through my mind.

"Ron...Dra - Malfoy, told me that I had my memory....modified. In 7th year...What happened? Please tell me..."

He sighed and looked hesitant for a moment, but grabbed my hand and started talking. "I never wanted to keep it from you 'Mione. I wanted to tell you, even if you had had your memory modified. Atleast you had a right to know what had happened. 7th year, there was a war. Right on school grounds. Dumbledore managed to get alot of the students home by port key, but some he didn't. Anyway, I'm just going to tell you straight out...Lucious Malfoy took you from Hogwarts one night...He took you to Voldemort and demanded that Harry come fourth on the night of the war to fight for you. If he lost, both of you would be killed, and if he won, well then you would be set free. Dumbledore made all of these plans to try and get you back but one by one they failed. Eventually time ran out and Harry was on the field near the Forbidden Forest ready to fight Voldemort once and for all. You were back in the woods with the Death Eaters, so while Harry was fighitng, Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagal, Hagrid, and I went down into the woods to find you. Well, I actually stole Harry's invisibility cloak and came with them, but I helped just as well. We found you O'course. But you were in shock. They had had you under the Imperious Curse, Crucis Curse (A/N: I think that's what it's called..sorry I dun't have the book right now!), and Merlin knows what else. But we fought off the Death Eaters and got you. Harry did defeat Voldemort and the Death Eaters were put away for good. You were such a mess that Dumbledore just said to put a powerful memory charm on you, to make you forget everything that had to do with Voldemort in 7th year, and just make you 'remember' taking N.E.W.T.S. But really, the three of us never took them...Well, Harry and I did later, but you just got the grades. But you're okay now Hermione...please don't cry..I'm sorry."

I had a tear stained face now. How horrible this was all turning out to be. Like some sort of nightmare that I was never going to wake up from. "S-so. You're telling me that I was kipnapped by Death Eaters and tortured! FIRST I GET ALMOST RAPED! NOW I FIND OUT I GOT KIDNAPPED! What the bloody hell did I ever do so wrong to deserve this?!"

"Nothing..That's what I don't understand. We all did nothing, but befriend Harry. Not that I'm blaming him. None of this is his fault. But because we befriended him, is why we are the first his enimies get to. Please..I'm sorry. I don't want to see you depressed again. You are fine now, Voldemort is dead, and so are most of his Death Eaters. Please..."

Ron held me as I cried on his shoulder. I thought everything was going perfect in my life! Now it was just a whole pile of shit. Why couldn't my life be like the books? I wondered. Why couldn't just for once...Thing's be perfect.
