"Professor Dumbledore?" Ginny hit the door loudly with her hand. "Professor Dumbledore!"
The door swung open and Dumbledore looked surprised at his visitor.
"Yes, Miss Weasley? What do I owe this most unexpected visit?"
"It's Hermione, sir."
"Ah...I think you had better come in, Miss Weasley."
Ginny was ushered it as Dumbledore closed the door.
"What is the problem with Hermione, Miss Weasley?"
"Ginny, sir, if you don't mind, Miss Weasley is too posh," Ginny acknowledged, looking into Dumbledore's eyes. He nodded, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Well then, what is the problem with Hermione, Ginny?"
"She seems, sir, quite depressed and I thought that she needed to see someone. But the counselor is reluctant to do much. I went a saw Hermione a little over an hour ago and she wanted a knife, not a life. I am a little concerned, Professor, that she might try and harm herself. I thought that it might have had something to do with her Uncle or Snape or Draco? But I don't understand what she yelled at me..."
"What did she yell?" Dumbledore asked, his twinkling eyes vanished.
"That she was nearly raped by Snape, has been raped by her Uncle and Draco wants a relationship, sir," Ginny replied earnestly.
"And you don't understand what she meant?" Dumbledore inquired. Ginny shook her head as Dumbledore sighed.
"What part don't you understand?"
"Well, I know about Snape, and Draco is a prat but I don't understand about her Uncle."
Dumbledore sighed again, and looked into Ginny's eyes.
"You must not repeat what you hear. Understand?" Ginny nodded.
"For the past two summers, Hermione has been raped by her Uncle. She has not told anyone for fear of what could happen. She has been going to the counselor for reasons that you probably don't know. However, I know that she has been forming a relationship with Mr. Malfoy that most do not realise. When Mr. Malfoy wanted to have a kiss from her, she hit back saying she didn't want a loving relationship and he left, somewhat distraught. It is my understanding that for the last few weeks she nor he have talked to each other and she has not got many places, yes?" Ginny nodded her head again.
"Professor? If you don't mind my questioning, how do you know this?" Ginny asked politely.
"Draco came to me a few weeks ago when this began. He explained everything he knew and understood. I agree that something must be done. Is there anyone you think she would talk to?"
"She won't speak to me. I don't think she would talk to Draco, but she might. Harry or Ron I don't think are wise enough to comprehend what's happening, and they'd freak with Draco. Padma, Parvati and Lavender might be able to do something but they don't know about her Uncle. I think Draco might be best sir," Ginny mused. Dumbledore nodded.
"Fill him in on what he is to do, Ginny."
Ginny stood, curtseyed and retreated from the room, hastening to get to Draco.

"He wants me to do WHAT?" Draco yelled.
"Talk to Hermione. Assure her you love her. Have a chat," Ginny summarised.
"But I'm not a counselor! My father is a Death Eater! The reason I was in hospital for a week was because I had had the Cruciatus and Seca used on me for so long I was unrecognizable! I couldn't Gin!"
"You have to Draco! You have to! Do it for Hermione! PLEASE?" Ginny sobbed. Draco looked at her and pulled her into a hug. Ginny couldn't believe what she was doing, let alone Draco but she allowed herself to be hugged.
"For Hermione," he murmured into her hair.
"For Hermione," Ginny replied. They parted, Draco holding onto Ginny's hands a few seconds longer.
For some reason, Ginny lifted herself up and Draco rushed to meet her mouth. They kissed and were surprised at what they did.

A/N: I understand the Ginny/Draco love for what it is, but is will not continue, don't worry! Erm...that was the conclusion and I hope that what Draco said a few speeches ago about why he was hurt answers a few questions! Thanks and review if you want another chapter with something that you want!
