Ok people! Here is the next chapter! This one is written by Emma. I hope you all like it!
Does anyone even read the author's note? I dunno if you will but I feel like talking a bit here. It's a really cruddy day today. Its storming lots and the cat is hiding under the bed. The only thing on the TV is the Tennis (Australian Open), Rodger Federer and some dude from I think Greece (they wont show his name long enough for me to get the spelling of his name) are playing at the moment. They only just started so it should be a good match. (I am writing this note halfway through the chapter, so I might not be able to tell you the outcome of the game.) Federer never fails to disappoint!
In last nights game Hewitt (Aussie), was playing some dude who spat at him! I am so glad that Hewitt kicked his Arse! Go Aussie Go Aussie!
Anyways, on with the story!
Harry and Ron escorted Hermione back to the Gryffindor dorms. Their arms wrapped firmly around her the whole trip.
"I don't want you staying there with him 'Mione, he will just hurt you again, you can stay in the dorm with Ginny."
"I'll do no such thing Ron, I appreciate your concern but Draco didn't hit me."
"You call him Draco now, what happened to ferret, or Malfoy." The anger in Harry's voice was clear for all to hear.
"We're head boy and girl, Harry. While we are not the best of friends we came to an agreement that we would at least try to get along. We need to do a lot of work together and it would be better if we got along."
They reached the portrait of the fat lady and climbed through. There were a few first years in the common room, but they all ran out when Harry shouted for them to leave.
The trio sat on a couch by the fire for a while talking until Hermione fell asleep on Harry's shoulder. Ron was starting to feel tired himself so he made his way to the boys dormitories.
"G'nite Harry, are you going to stay here the night?" he yawned.
Harry slightly nodded his head so he wouldn't wake the sleeping Hermione.
After Ron left Harry sat there stroking Hermione's hair. Whispering to her, "Why are you protecting him Hermione."
Feeling rather depressed Harry carefully got up. Gently lowering Hermione back down on the couch. He crossed the room and tapped his wand on the slightly discoloured rock on the wall. A small compartment opened and Harry removed a bottle of scotch, a bottle of vodka and a glass. He crossed the room and sat by Hermione's head. He poured himself a glass, then another, then another. Eventually he lost count of how many drinks he had consumed. All he knew was the bottle of scotch was ½ empty and the vodka was ¼ empty.
He sat back and the glass fell from his hand. Smashing on the floor and shattering into millions of pieces.
The sound of breaking glass caused Hermione to stir. Her eyelids fluttered and as she woke she took in her surroundings. The sharp smell of alcohol and the groggy look on Harry's face made her eyes widen with horror.
"Harry, where did Ron go?"
"Hez in beud, whiii do you wannna fu…fuck himm tooo."
"What are you talking about Harry."
"Dat's why you called him Dray…Dray…co innit? You're fucking 'im."
"Harry, you're drunk. You don't know what you are saying." As she spoke, she slowly sat up and began to back away from him. She kept walking back until she felt the cool stone of the wall behind her.
"Why don't you love me!" Harry shouted as he threw the bottle of scotch at her head. She moved just in time and the bottle smashed right next to her. He strode over to her and grabbed her wrist pulling her to him. He kissed her brutally, and then threw her to the floor. She fell on top of the glass he had dropped earlier, cutting her back. She cried out in pain. Harry approached her and started to rip off her top. Hermione screamed out for Ron, but Harry silenced her with his lips.
He pulled back and continued to rip at her top. Hermione shut her eyes and cried, over and over again. "Please Harry, Don't."
He held his hand over her mouth to stop her cries from being heard.
"Shut up! You're such a slut. Your fucking Malfoy, you're probably fucking Ron and his brothers. You should be used to this." He lifted her head off the ground and smashed in back onto the ground. All she saw was darkness. He went to remove her bra when he was suddenly pulled off her by a furious Ron.
Ron punched Harry several times and left him lying and bleeding on the carpet. He crossed the room to Hermione and wrapped her in the blanket that was on the back of the couch. He picked her up and walked through the entrance, into the hall.

Draco sat outside the Gryffindor common room. He was worried that something would happen to Hermione. He looked up when he heard the door open and saw Ron walk out cradling something in his arms.
"He did it again didn't he?"
Ron simply nodded. Draco got to his feet and told Ron to follow him.
They made their way through the halls and into the head's common room. On the way in Draco changed the password and told the portrait he was to let no one in without it. Not even the headmaster.
Ron placed Hermione on the couch and Draco went to get the first aid kit and a wet cloth from the bathroom. When he returned he saw the Ron had removed the blanket from her body.
"Shit, he really did her good this time." Draco snarled.
"We should take her to the hospital."
"We can't do that."
"Why not, she needs medical attention."
"After last time I talked to Uncle Sev. and he told the headmaster. Dumbledore said that Potter would never do such a thing. And even if he did they couldn't do anything about it. They need Potter to stay in school so he can kill The Dark Lord.
"You are right though, she needs medical attention. I'll get Uncle Sev. to help out."
Draco strode to the fire and threw some floo powder into it. The flames turned green and Draco shouted down the line that Hermione needed medical attention.
The flames returned to their normal colour, a few moments later they turned green again and Severus Snape walked through the fire, his arms full of potions. He took one look at Hermione and his face paled.
"What happened this time?"
"Harry, he tried to… her tried to…" Ron stuttered
"From her state of dress I am guessing he tried to rape her, am I correct?
"Yes."
"I am glad you stopped this. I will heal her and then I have much to tell you all."
Roughly one hour laterThe three men sat around waiting for Hermione to wake. Eventually here eyelids began to flutter and her eyes open. She groaned as he bright light caused her head to ache. Professor Snape crossed the room and helped the girl sit up, he propped pillows behind her to rest on.
"Take it easy Miss Granger, you have a nasty concussion."
"What, What happened?" She asked. Confusion crossed her face as she took in the occupants of the room.
Ron and Draco both go up and sat beside her, one on either side. They each took one of her hands in theirs.
"Harry tried to rape you 'Mione." Ron told her, his voice wavering with emotion.
"Why is professor Snape here?"
"Mr. Malfoy informed me of your last encounter with Mr. Potter, I approached the headmaster but he was unconcerned. I told Draco if there were any more incidents to bring you here instead of the hospital wing, and to summon me if unable to heal you himself."
"Why do you care? You hate me."
"I do not hate you Miss Granger. There is something that you need to know. I was not supposed to tell you this until your 18th birthday. You are not a muggle born."
"I'm not?"
"She isn't?" Draco and Ron asked at the same time.
"No, Draco here calls me his uncle. Which is untrue, I am his godfather. I am however, your uncle."
"How is that possible, My parents aren't magic, they're dentists."
"You were placed in a foster home when you were five weeks old. It was a bad time in the ministry. The Potters had just been killed, my little sister and her husband feared that aurors would come after them, and that you might be hurt in the crossfire.
"The attack never happened. Death Eaters take care of their own, and we all did our best to protect your parents. They remained hidden from the public for all these years. But they do know what you have been up to. I am always keeping tabs on you for them."
"Why did Dumbledore not care what happened to me?"
"Dumbledore wants the power. He wants to rule the Wizarding world. Sees himself way up there with Merlin…" Severus looked to Ron.
"Mr. Weasley if you are unwilling to turn your back on Potter you may stay, if not I will obliviate you and you may be on your way."
"Harry tried to rape 'Mione. He is no longer my friend."
"Good, Christmas holidays being in a month, I believe it would be best if the three of you came to my family home. You will be safe there. And Hermione, I can introduce you to your birth parents."
Ok that's it. What do you think? I know there are a few clichés in it, but so what I DO NOT CARE!
I thank you all for your reviews and I hope that you will leave another one!
The next chapter is up to Sara!
