Chapter 8: What Happened when Hermione was Taken
"Well when we went down to the field to see if Ron was ok or if he needed our help I thought I felt someone slip up next to me, but when I looked around no one was there so I just assumed that it was nothing like the wind or something like that. When we got to Ron, Harry bent over to see what Remus was doing. Then I felt someone behind me so I turned around to see who it was. I was struck on the head with something, I don't know what but it wasn't very big but it was heavy. Since I couldn't see the person before they attacked I believe that they were under an invisibility cloak. The blow knocked me out and when I awoke I was in this house and Voldemort was standing in front of me, just watching me as I recovered my senses." Hermione paused, drew a small, shuddering breath and continued. "He told me why he had abducted me and I told him that we had been expecting it. He seemed slightly surprised at that but he continued on like it was nothing. Then he asked me to tell him what the prophecy had said when it got smashed in the Department of Mysteries. Of course I told him that I had no idea what it said because I was unconscious in the brain room. He said that I was lying, which in part I was, because I know now what the prophecy said." Harry cringed slightly; Ron and Hermione hadn't been very forgiving about the fact that Harry hid the prophecy from them. "But of course during the Department of Mysteries I was unconscious in the brain room, so I was partly telling the truth. Anyway he said that I was lying to him and I told him that I wasn't ever going to tell him what it said even if I did know. That got him really angry and he put 'Cruciatus" on me."
Harry felt his face tighten in fury and he squeezed Hermione's hand hard. Dumbledore also had an odd look on his face and Moody looked like he might start hexing everything in sight. Tonks was clenching and unclenching her hands so tight that her knuckles were white. Lupin didn't say a word but he moved closer to Hermione and gently placed his hands on the back of her chair.
"Well Harry taught me the Dark Arts well because I was able to throw off the curse after I'd say ten seconds. That didn't help his anger at all so he did it again and I threw it off and again and I threw it off. Each time I got slower and throwing it off though. I think that he did it about ten times." Hermione's voice had gotten steadily smaller and smaller and her face was a mask of pain remembering those painful moments.
Harry stood up and turned to Dumbledore his face a mask of anger but he spoke calmly, "Professor, she needs to go to St. Mungos now. She might have brain damage or something to survive it and throw it off that many times…" Harry's voice trailed off and he turned to look in awe at Hermione realizing how much strength it took to keep battling of an Unforgivable Curse. Hermione squirmed uncomfortably in her chair not appreciating all the gazes of awe she was receiving, since it was usually Harry who got that.
"Harry we will take Hermione to St. Mungos but right now I need to hear what happened so that I can hopefully prevent this from happening ever again. Plus I think that Hermione has lasted this long she can last a bit longer." Said Dumbledore watching Hermione with slightly narrowed eyes finally seeing how much power Hermione really did have. Harry nodded and returned to his seat but he kept a close watch on her to see if he could see any signs of her weakening.
Hermione sighed and picked up her story again, "Well that made him furious that a mere girl could survive what most grown wizards could not so he called one of his Death Eaters, I think his name was…oh darn I don't remember, to take me to a room to conduct something to me so that way even if he couldn't force me to tell him what he wanted he would get the pleasure of seeing me embarrassed to the highest degree." Hermione's voice was trembling and Harry moved over to the arm of her chair and wrapped his arms around her. She blinked several times trying not to relive that horrible time in her memories but continued bravely on with her story.
"It was only when we got to this room in the back of the corridor, when he locked it behind me and started to take off his shirt did I realize what Voldemort had meant by embarrassing me." She paused and tried to get her breath back but it was no use she was starting to sob and Harry only tightened his hold around her. "He reached for me and I pulled back which caused me shirt to rip off. That only made whoever it was happier and he once again reached for me. I ran away but only got trapped against the wall. I was so tired; that I didn't have the strength to keep fighting so right when Harry came in I had basically given up and was praying that Harry would forgive me about the fact that I let someone take control over me like that." Hermione now had tears streaming down her face at the thought that if Harry had arrived even five minutes late what might have happened to her.
Harry just hugged her even tighter then pulled back and forced her to look at him straight in the eye, "Moine always remember that no matter what I will always love you, always, always from the bottom of my heart, always remember that Ron and I are always here for you." Hermione nodded Harry brought her into a super tight hug wishing with all of his heart that Hermione would never have to go through something like that again.
Hermione suddenly opened her eyes from Harry's hug and turned to Dumbledore, "Oh my god! I totally forgot! Is Ron ok? Can we go see him?" Dumbledore smiled at this but shook his head, "Madame Pompfrey had him transported to St. Mungos for treatment. He received a terrible concussion from those rouge bludgers."
Harry's eyes snapped open at that, he turned and looked at Dumbledore, "Did you just say that those bludgers were rouge? Then that means that this was all supposed to happen, Ron getting hit then Hermione kidnapped right then." Dumbledore nodded at each of the points that Harry made remembering that he had had a run in with a rouge bludger in his second year.
"Ms. Granger I believe that it is time that we took you to St. Mungos for treatment as Harry mentioned earlier." Said Dumbledore, straightening up from his desk. "Maybe when he and you are recovered you can go see him or him see you whichever works out the best." Hermione and Harry nod as Harry bent down and gently scooped Hermione back up and into his arms. Dumbledore grabbed a handful of glittery Floo Powder and tossed it into the fire and it turned a shockingly, bright green, as green as Harry's eyes. Harry stepped into the fire and yelled, "St. Mungos spell damage ward!" With a crack they were both gone. Dumbledore grabbed his own handful and tossed it in, and then with another crack he too was gone.
