Hermione heard whisperings. She could not make out the voices, or what they were saying. She felt herself lying on a bed. "Maybe I'm in Gryffindor Tower; yes I am just waking up."

She rolled over and blearily opened her eyes. She saw a fuzzy vision of a group of people standing over her. Her vision started clearing, and the blurred version of Madame Pomfrey was becoming more precise. She then saw Professor Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall. She quickly sat up, frantically and looked around the room.

"What's wrong? What happened? Where am I?" she questioned in a fast, confused manner.

"Calm down, Ms. Granger, please. You are alright, or you will be. Now, do you recall anything that has happened in the last 24 hours?" Professor Dumbledore said, with a pause. "Close your eyes and think hard".

Hermione had no idea what was going on. Nevertheless, she closed her eyes and sighed. She started remembering. It was the dungeon. There was Malfoy. And he pushed her. Suddenly, the vision became clear. She shrieked, once again.

"I am taking it that you remember the events which brought you here" Professor Dumbledore said softly.

Hermione gulped, as tears slid down her cheeks. She did indeed remember, and besides for the hurt she was feeling, she felt embarrassed.

"Please, Hermione, it is not your fault. I just have one question for you; do you know who did this to you?" Professor McGonagall spoke up at this point.

"It was, umm, it was, umm. Malfoy" she whispered.

"That is well one of the people suspected, but since you are the only witness, we cannot press charges against him. I am so sorry" McGonagall replied.

"Umm, Professors, can I ask you how I was found? Who brought me here?"

"Well, Ms. Granger, It was Professor Snape. He came to tell you that detention was cancelled for the night, and he found you passed out. He brought you here, and Madame Pomfrey did some tests which confirmed your state", said Professor Dumbledore.

Again a deep blush crept on Hermione's face. Life was so darn unfair. Why did this have to happen to her?

"Hermione, would you like Harry to come in now?" again Professor Dumbledore said in a soft voice.

"Ok." She said, with more tears streaming down her face in fright and frustration.

Harry walked through the hospital wing door cautiously. He did not know what was wrong. Professor Dumbledore called him aside. He quietly wondered why he was called out of Charms class, but figured it was something of importance.

"Harry, please don't, shall we say, freak out, but I have some alarming news for you" said Professor Dumbledore.

Harry braced himself, for news which he did not know what to expect.

"Harry, Hermione was raped in the dungeons last night."

"WHAT??!!"

"There is more news besides that. Hermione..."

Harry gasped, then stuttered and walked over to Hermione. He saw her tearstained face and just wanted to hold her and make everything go away. He stroked her face, and she turned to him.

"Harry." It was just a statement, a confirmation that he was there.

He just stood there, and held her hand. "How are you feeling?" he asked her.

"I am Ok, I just ." and the tears came down, harder and stronger than before. "Oh Harry, how could this happen? I am so ashamed, and hurt" she sobbed.

He hugged her and just let her cry on his shoulder.

"Hermione, I do not think any less of you, nor will anyone else. It was not your fault, and you should be looked upon as brave and courageous. I love you forever; you know that, don't you?"

Oh, Harry" she continued sobbing, his grip on her became tighter and she felt safer.

"Ms. Granger, we have some news to report to you." Madame Pomfrey said, and the two other Professors re-gathered around her.

"Because of your state, you are... well, pregnant."

"WHAT. I cannot. How? What? No., this is not happening, no." and she started to cry again.

"There is a potion which can stop the child from growing, it takes three weeks to brew, and can only be administered until the fourth week. So I will see you here in. 3 weeks. The 21st of October. Mr. Potter, I am sure you will accompany her, right?"

"Of Course" Harry said, whilst Hermione was slowly contemplating the information.

"Well then, Ms. Granger, you shall remain here until tonight, Mr. Potter can stay with you, he is not going back to any of his classes today." Professor Dumbledore said. "And if you need anything, I'm only an owl or floo powder away."

With that, He, and Professor McGonagall stood up and walked out the hospital wing door.

"Excuse me for a moment Mr. Potter, but Ms. Granger here needs a bit of, shall we say, attention. You will be able to see her in about 10 minutes", said Madame Pomfrey.

"Ok, "Mione, I love you, you will be fine." He said, and walked out to the chair area.

Madame Pomfrey drew the curtains around Hermione's hospital bed, and gave her a very full physical. From the shadows that Harry saw, he could tell that it was not very pleasant for Hermione. And when he listened carefully, he heard her softly cry a few times. She slightly shreaked in what sounded like pain. After what seemed like ages for both Hermione and Harry, she pulled open the curtains. Harry walked back up to Hermione, and gave her a hug. She sat up with difficulty and moved over for him to sit next to her.

"Well, I will be seeing you both I presume later, feel better" and Madame Pomfrey left the room.

Hermione just signed, and went to sleep on Harry's shoulder.
