Salt in your wounds

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry potter or any of the other characters or the places or anything this plot is mine but that's about it anything that you recognise is not mine either, although I'm pretty sure there isn't much.

Once again lost in his eyes I was in desperate need to update so I couldn't ask you to proof read. And I'll give you the one after the next sorry about my slackness.

CHAPTER

I'm sorry.

Hermione felt cold clammy fingers caress her naked body. She let out a whimper of pain and protests as he began a bruising kiss. His tongue forced entry into her mouth, he explored every crevice and corner with his tongue making her choke as he forcefully pushed it down her throat, so she couldn't breath.

Eventually he let her mouth go and began kissing down her body, occasionally biting down on her sensitive skin to draw blood. She let out yelps of pain each time he did this. Soon he lay on top of her as he bit and pulled at her nipples. She let the tears run down her face and would sob every time he bit her hard.

Without warning he plunged two fingers into her, she yelled out in pain as he seemed to scratch her insides. He grinned menacingly up at her as he pulled his fingers out and began pulling down his pants.

"No please don't! no, you cant, please don't do this." He looked up at her and glared.

"Shut up you stupid bitch" and shouted as he slapped her across the face.

He plunged himself deep into her breaking her barrier, taking away her innocence. He forced himself in and out of her moaning to himself, going harder to force more whimpers of pain and protest to escape her mouth.

"No, please, don't, no" the words echoed around the empty hospital wing, the words were followed by more sobs and slight screams of pain. "No! please don't no no no!" madam Pomfrey walked into the wing and looked around for the source of the noise, soon finding Hermione sweating and breathing hard, twisting around in her bed knotting up the sheets letting out painful sobs and pleas escape her lips.

"no don't touch me, don't please don't" she shouted trying to push off the nurse as she tried to give the girl a potion but she couldn't get it near her without it being knocked out of her hands and across the bed sheets.

Draco wandered around the school as he patrolled his designated corridors; he closed his eyes at the darkness. 'Why do so many things happen to those who had already been hurt?' he sighed and looked around the dark hall 'I wonder what would happen if I suddenly disappeared,' he let out a hollow laugh as this thought entered his brain. 'Pure and perfect happiness, no more would there be that nasty stain in society that was admittedly me'

His train of thought was broken as he heard loud swearing and hurried footsteps. Draco followed the sound and saw a group of four boys, two from Slytherin, one from Gryffindor and another from Hufflepuff.

"Don't touch him, why don't you pick on someone your own age?" the Gryffindor shouted at he two Slytherin. The taller of the two remarked back but Draco had already tuned out. 'Gryffindor's, always trying to play hero to the little people, but yet they don't even notice when one of their own is hurting' he thought in disgust before breaking up the fight that had turned into a all out punch on. 'Honestly! That's what wands were made for!' he felt like shouting as he held two of them apart.

"Come on," he growled as he led them to the hospital wing, the seconds years followed fearfully.

As Draco entered the hospital wing he heard a girl's voice crying out, the empty room was filled with the sounds of sobs reverberating off the walls.

"Please, no don't! Just stop please" the sobs and please echoed around not only the room but Draco head as well.

Madam Pomfrey came over looking stressed and a little worried when she saw Draco standing in the doorway she paused momentarily before noticing the small group of boys around him, she clucked her tongue in disapproval and started to fix them up quickly.

"Please..." the girl let out a louder sob and a small scream of pain. Draco slowly walked towards the bed and looked down at the tasselled body of Hermione granger.

"Granger" he whispered before raising his hand that hung limply at his side to touch the girls face. She let out another whimper, quieter then the others, draco caressed Hermione's cheek muttering calming words.

"shh... its alright, no ones going to hurt you, I'm here" soon Hermione's tossing stopped and she lay limply on her bed, her hand reached up and held Draco's that hand that was still placed on her face.

"Oh thank Merlin" madam Pomfrey gasped as she came towards the bed, and started to give Hermione's still sleeping form potions. "Thank you Mr. Malfoy, I think it best if you deal with the young boys now." Draco nodded diligently but didn't remove his hand from Hermione. "Really Mr. Malfoy, its time for you to leave, its late and you need some sleep, as do these boys." He nodded again removing his hand from Hermione's cheek. She let out the smallest whimper of protest before becoming silent again. As Malfoy reached the door madam Pomfrey spoke again. "oh, and mr. Malfoy, I do expect you to go to sleep, I'll be sending a house elf to cheek that you are." Draco nodded numbly before pulling the two Slytherin boys towards the dungeons by their shirt collars.

Draco stared up at the canopy above his bed, he rarely goes to his bed, he spends most his time wandering the halls or staring at the fire in the common room, he felt an over whelming urge to start drawing as he lay silently in the dark room, but he knew he couldn't Pomfrey elf would be here soon.

He stared at the canopy again.

Green.

Just like Natasha's eyes, beautiful emeralds, that shone when she laughed he sighed again remembering her smile, her laugh. He closed his eyes slowly and let the images of Tommy and his mother laughing and playing along with him. And then Natasha's more mature conversations with him when Tommy had gone to bed. 'Natasha, I really miss you' he thought right before the peaceful images were replaced by ones of their mangles and ravished bodies. And his nostrils filled with the smell of their death.

"This is what death smells like boy, get used to it, because you'll be smelling it a lot in your life you stupid ingrate!" her fathers voice rang through his ears as he remembered the night after he had found them, their bodies hung from the wall in the dungeon in his manor. His own father locked him in a room with the bodies of the only people who had ever loved him. For three days he was locked in there.

Three days of suffocating on the smell of their blood, looking at their cuts and wounds never being able to look away, never being able to touch or hold them. They didn't deserve this, it was too bad, the shouldn't have ever been hurt, it was his fault, if he hadn't run away none of that would have happened. 'But if you hadn't run away, you would never know what happiness was.' A distant voice replied in the back of his mind.

Draco sighed again opening his eyes.

"I'm sorry" he whispered "I'm sorry I ever met you, I'm sorry I ever felt happiness. Two perfect people shouldn't have been sacrificed for my happiness. I'm so sorry" he whispered hoarsely as his eyes slowly filled with tears.
