Chapter 15: The Order Of The Phoenix
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dumbledore with witches and wizards from the old Order of the Phoenix came striding down the stairs towards him down at the center by the platform.
"Harry were's Hermione?" Asked Dumbledore in somber expression...Hermione...Harry thought as he remembered what had happened. Why Dumbledore was there, wasn't important. Or how he found out they were there, Harry had no idea. All he needed to do was run to Hermione like there was no tomorrow...
"She's in some room with Malfoy...they went through the hall, up there..." He said quickly, pointing upward. Harry, Dumbledore, and the people from the Order of the Phoenix, including Lupin, Molly and Arthur Weasley went to where Harry pointed. Some of the wizards went to other rooms to search. They hurriedly opened a few doors, every time they did Harry felt anxious, to say the least, he wanted to find Hermione so badly, but at the same time he dreaded when he would find her, knowing the pain, Malfoy had caused her...
"No..." Her voice sounded raspy and dry from the coughing, yelling, and pain...as he was about to place his hand on her arm to pull her down again, the door bolted wide open...
Harry, and Dumbledore came rushing in...
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Yelled Hermione, the two men froze at the door. Harry seethed, breathing fast. His brilliant green eyes met Hermione's as she looked up. She saw his eyes and she felt a great feeling of foreboding rise in her...
The Weasleys, Lupin, Tonks, Mad Eye, and a few other wizards were gathered at the door when they heard her screaming too.
Hermione saw Harry standing on the spot. She quickly got off the bed, she felt dizziness rushing through her head and her body felt numb. Harry finally moved a couple hasty steps towards her, but he felt numb himself as he looked into her somber eyes. He didn't know what to do. It was hard to believe what had happened, but still, she was standing right before him, looking faint and Harry couldn't move his feet any further, he felt a shock in his heart.
She was breathing fast. Looking up at Harry she clutched onto the sheets. She took a few steps towards him, until she felt too weak to move anymore. She collapsed. Harry was feeling so angry, his eyes swelled with tears. He ran the rest of the way to her and caught her in his arms before she hit the silver carpet...
If only her pain could go away. Harry would gladly suffer it for her. He picked her up not knowing what to do...
"Here, give her to me. I will take her back to Hogwarts." Said an anguished Remus. He didn't want to let her go. He wanted to be with her more now than ever before! He had to. He had to be with her. His heart was very unwilling to give her away to be somewhere he wasn't. God it wasn't fair! Spotting Draco, he gave his Hermione to Lupin, knowing she'd be safe. Lupin took her and left...Harry rounded to Draco...
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Pain and sadness filled his heart even more and he took Malfoy by the neck, powerfully slammed him against the wall. Hitting Draco with all the strength he could muster, he then threw him onto the floor and gave five powerful kicks anywhere he could reach. His chest, his face, his legs were bleeding.
Harry clearly heard Mrs. Weasley gasp, but he didn't care. This beast was all that needed to be dammed. He needed to make him pay! For Hermione, his Hermione... Harry didn't stop kicking him until a few men from the crowd came to try and hold him back. They succeeded for a few seconds. But Harry being so angry and helpless broke free and instantly kneeled down aiming towards Malfoy's throat. Malfoy's face turned deathly pale and was gasping for air. He passed out. Then the men trying to hold Harry again got him back.
"Harry, stop. Hermione needs you and you can't kill Malfoy. For her sake. You can't go to Azkaban, but he will..." Said Dumbledore, and his word was always the way to go. He looked tired. And the rest looked aghast...Harry had a terrible headache coming...
Dumbledore told the Order of the Phoenix that they would go up to the Ministry of Magic, get a hold of Fudge, or the court and immediately tell them what had happened. He said they should take Malfoy there too, since he was unconscious and would get shipped of to Azkaban right away, as well as the rest of the Death Eaters.
"Harry, don't worry. I'll sort this all out. I need you to go back to the school, with Arthur and Molly...Harry listen to me, go now." Said Dumbledore to a very disgruntled and disturbed Harry.
Harry decided to go. He couldn't stand not being by Hermione anymore. He needed to make sure she was ok. She looked like she was about ready to die. No. He couldn't think that. God could not be that cruel to him. It just couldn't be possible...
Harry, Molly, and Arthur apparated to the front gates outside the School grounds. Harry ran to the large front doors. He needed to get to her. His legs wouldn't move fast enough. It was a matter between life and death...
When he reached the Hospital Wing, the first person he saw was Remus, standing by a chair.
Remus quickly went to him, "Harry please calm down. What I'm going to say will require your strength..." He sighed.
What on Earth was he talking about! Couldn't he just spit it out! Just then the Weasleys were coming in and Madam Pomfrey came to them. Harry couldn't see where Hermione was.
"Where's Hermione?" Harry urgently demanded. The Medi-Witch sighed...
"Well...I'm sorry, but the worst has come to pass." She said with tears brimming her old face. What on Earth were they talking about? It could not be what he was thinking...NO IT CAN'T!
"She's ok, but she was definitely abused, taken advantage of..." She trailed off. Mrs. Weasley gasped and Harry just realized she was there. Thank god, it wasn't what he was thinking of...of course they didn't know that Malfoy had raped her, but he did, he had seen it...He thought something else had happened, he preferred this over his Hermione being dead...That would be completely unbearable.
"I know..." he whispered. The others eyed him cautiously.
"Harry what do you mean you know?" Asked Mrs. Weasley.
"I saw it...through a crystal ball, Voldemort made me watch it..." The others looked horror struck, Harry looked down for a quick second feeling as sad as ever, though "sad" would be the understatement of the year. "Mam I want to see her..." Pomfrey led him to her behind some curtains.
"Is she ok? When will she wake? Will she be fine? Nothing's wrong, right?" Asked Harry frantically barely finding his voice, as he looked at her.
She looked so sad, she was unconscious, but you could still tell. Parts of her face were bruised. Harry could see that her arms were too. And he felt rage and sadness, thinking of the rest of her body...
"Harry. Please be calm. Trust me. She's been through enough pain." Pomfrey left and went to the others in the background and asked them where Dumbledore was.
After everything that had happened it was hard for Harry to stay sane...as this thought crossed his mind, Dumbledore himself was coming in.
"Poppy, will Hermione be ok?" He asked sadly.
"She will be fine..." Said the nurse.
"Harry I need you to come to my office." Dumbledore walked off with Harry behind him.
They approached they gargoyle and Dumbledore said the password. Then they walked in.
"Please sit." Dumbledore said calmly.
Harry felt horrible. Once again he had led his loved ones to danger, over his own stupidity. He felt guiltier than ever in his whole life. It was his fault that Hermione was now in so much pain. He couldn't look at Dumbledore.
"Harry the portrait on the wall of your dormitory sent a messenger to tell me what she had heard. She heard you yelling about your dream. Though some of it she didn't hear. She thought it was something serious and I quickly came to her to acquire her own version of what she had heard. That is how I came to know where you and Hermione were." Dumbledore took a tired breath and went on. "Harry, I know you feel guilty and angry at what happened." Dumbledore couldn't possibly know everything Harry was going through. It was hell penetrating his body, and he couldn't live on. But the world was still spinning, and he has to keep on living. It wasn't over yet.
"Harry I want you to know that whatever happens, you and Hermione can trust me and I won't ever judge you, or anyone else." Said Dumbledore solemnly. Still Harry could not look at him, he was merely gazing at his knees.
Why has the world rejected giving him happiness, wasn't everything that had gone wrong in his life enough? Everything was snatched out of his reach sooner rather than later. "Professor. I wish to go see Hermione...I have to." Dumbledore solemnly nodded and told him to send back the other members of the old Order up to his office.
Harry left his seat. Whatever Dumbledore, or anyone else had to say wasn't important in the least. Harry sprinted back to the Hospital wing
He came to rest by Hermione's bed. Madam Pomfrey had apparently already healed some of her bruises, because she looked better and was also wearing different clothes. Her expression was somber. But even through everything he felt at the moment, he somehow knew everything would be alright...
>>>>>
The day after what happened, Hermione spent it all lying in the Hospital Wing with Harry. The day after that Hermione was still in the Hospital Wing, but she was leaving this morning and Harry was still with her. She was growing tired of being in bed the whole time. She was still very weak, but back to her stubborn self. Saying she wanted to rest in her own bed. Anyway Harry would make sure she really did rest. And somehow he knew she was trying to be strong for his sake. But it didn't take away how he felt.
Ron had obviously found out what had happened, and practically had a heart attack, he had been with her the whole time with Harry, but this morning he had a Quidditch game, he was willing to cancel, but Hermione made him promise to play and win for her.
"Hold on Miss Granger." Madam Pomfrey said wearing an odd expression when Hermione and Harry were ready to leave. "I have results from your examination of last night..."
