Chapter 2

I tried opening my eyes, but it felt as if I had sandpaper on my eyelids. It hurt like hell! I immediately

scrunched them together and moaned loudly. I felt like Captain Shit on Planet Hangover. I rolled over to my side and hit my

head on a table leg. With my eyes shut, I felt up the table leg and lifted myself from the ground. 'Where was I?' I

blinked fiercly as I opened my eyes and looked around the room. There was nothing but a red shag carpet and a few couches

in the center of the room. I looked at the small table next to me and saw a glass of blue liquid.

'Oh right' I remembered 'I'm in the room of requirement! And this must be a glass of (hopefully) Hangover

Potion.' I grabbed it quickly and downed it quicker. Immediately my head stopped pounding and my eyes cleared. I rubbed

my eyes again and winced sharply. Looking down at my hands, I saw that they were spattered with blood and were horrible

bruised.

'What happened?' I couldn't remember a thing from last night. What could have

happened?. He immediately said "Medeor". And the bruises and blood vanished

quickly. Looking about the room I thought quickly, "I need to find

Ron and Hermione."

Hermione lay sleeping on Draco's bed. After tending to her wounds, Draco rushed out of his room with an angry step.

'No woman deserved to be hit. Not even Granger.'

"So much anger in one person cannot be contained for long. So in order for one to relieve themselves of anger, they

must convert it into something else." Draco spoke outloud while remembering what his Father would say to him after every

beating.

'So much anger, I have to get it out' he thought resolutely.

Without thinking he walked over to the wall and punched it with one fist. And then the other. And then pounded on

it with both. He continued punching and hitting the wall until he felt the sweat drip down the side of his face. He reached

up to wipe it away and felt something slick touch his head. He looked down at his hand and found they were covered in

blood. He looked up at the wall and saw the cracked wall and broken wood splintering from holes. He muttered

"Repairo" and the wall returned to its normal state. Setting his wand down on the small table near the sofa he

walked into the bathroom to wash and clean the cuts from his hands and fist.

Harry walked up to Ron's bed and loudly whispered,

"Ron! Wake up!". Ron just grunted and rolled over onto his stomach. Harry grabbed his shoulder and shook it "Ron!

C'mon wake up. I think Hermione might be in trouble!".

"Hmmph - Teakettle wen 'toff 'gin" Ron mumbled into his pillow. Harry looked around the room wildly, 'What am I

gonna do?'.

"Ron!" he yelled "Luna is coming up the stairs!". Ron jumped up from his bed and whipped the curtains shut of his

bed.

"Don't let her in yet! I gotta get dressed!" Ron yelled through the drapes.

"Ron" Harry said "Luna is not coming, I had to get you up! C'mon, we gotta go find Hermione!" Harry grabbed Ron's

wrist and pulled him out of the room.

"What? she's not coming? You lied to me Harry!" Ron pointed at Harry with his free hand "You are a liar

Harry, I won't ever let you live this down."

"Yah . . . Yah" Harry muttered while pulling Ron down the hall.

Hermione felt the sun rays on her face and slowly opened her eyes. The ice pack that had been next to her face had

melted during the night and her cheek felt stiff. She walked over to the mirror and gingerly touched her face. Her cracked

lips hurt painfully but did not hold a candle to her jaw and eyes. Both eyes horrible blackened and a large goose egg on

her forehead. A large cut down her jaw and even a large cut on her ear. 'I look like a train wreck' she thought

sadly. And it was Harry that had done this to her. Harry. She had helped him through the countless adventures and even more

countless homework essays. But all this time, he had loved her. He only had to get sloshed off his ass to come clean

though. She stared at the mirror and saw the tears well up in her eyes.

"Oh Harry . . . why?" she began crying and held up her hands to her face. 'Why did it have to be like

this?'

Harry burst into Hermione and Draco's shared common room. Harry quickled looked around the room for Hermione,

'Where could she be? Maybe in her room, genius'

"Ron" Harry said turning to Ron at his side "Go look into Hermione's room and see if she is there"

"It doesn't matter whose opinion you get Harry, you are still a liar" Ron crossed his arms and looked at

Harry.

"Ron, shut up and go look" He pushed Ron to Hermione's door. Harry walked to the center of the room and heard

noises in the bathroom. He tried opening it from the Common Room entrance but it was locked. 'Well its too be

expected' he thought sarcastically.

"She's not in her room" Ron said walking over to Harry. It was then that Harry heard a sniffle coming from Draco's

room. Walking over to the open door, he looked in the large room and saw Hermione sitting on the floor. Her shoulders

racking with quiet sobs. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened and Draco walked out with his hands bloody and scratched.

Harry and Ron looked from Draco to Hermione and (thought) they put two and two together.

"You bastard!" Harry yelled at Draco. Hermione looked up from her spot on the floor at Ron and Harry. They both

gasped as they saw her broken and battered face.

"How could you do this to her?!" Ron yelled at Draco. Draco stood gaping at them from Hermione to Harry to Ron and

then back to Hermione.

"You think I did this?" he pointed to Hermione. Ron walked over to Hermione and helped her up from the floor.

"You're sick Malfoy" Ron spat at him, holding Hermione around the waist. Hermione clutched Ron around his shoulders

and steadied herself on the ground. Harry came around and held Hermione on the other side of her. Neither Ron or Harry saw

her flinch sharply when Harry put his arm around her waist.

"You will not get away with this Malfoy." Harry said angrily to Draco before walking out of the room with

Hermione inbetween.
