The Final Spell
Hermione gasped and whipped around to see the other Harry smirking evilly and push the three into the room. Whimpering she latched onto Blaise's sleeve. Lucius Malfoy was smirking as he raised his wand. Hermione closed her eyes tightly and felt herself being thrown to the ground. Blaise and Amy were on either side of her. A pair of cold hands pulled her to her knees and tied her up next to Draco.
Draco was squirming around trying to get to Hermione. "You evil bastard let us go."
The Death Eaters exploded in laughter. "No I don't think I will." Lucius Malfoy sneered stepping closer to Hermione.
Running a finger along her abdomen he poked and prodded it. Hermione winced in pain as he hit a particularly sensitive part. Draco was saying something incoherently and desperately trying to free his hands.
"Don't. Touch. Her." Draco said thrashing at his father.
"Oh I won't be the one to...touch her. That would be Eric's job." Lucius pulled back from Hermione and a young man who was about nineteen stepped forward out of the shadows.
Hermione whimpered and tried to move closer to Draco. "Ah Hermione so good to see you."
Draco gritted his teeth as he got a good look at the man in front of his girlfriend. He had gingery red hair and piercing dark blue eyes. He was about two inches taller than Draco and about ten pounds heavier. The man bent down and put a hand to her stomach.
"Our baby isn't it Hermione." Eric Corbindor murmured.
Hermione couldn't hold back her tears any longer and let them flow freely down her cheeks.
"Get your filthy hands off her." Draco snarled as his hands went lower on her body.
Eric pulled his hands off her and turned to Draco. Whipping his wand out faster than anyone could see he cried. "Crucio!"
"No!" Hermione shrieked as Draco writhed around next to her while screaming in pain.
"Finite Incatatem."Eric muttered ending the curse.
Draco sat against the pole breathing heavily.
"Draco." Hermione whimpered.
Eric's hands were on her stomach again and making Hermione sob harder. Blaise, who was on her right kicked out and hit his leg.
"Don't you dare touch Hermione." He sneered pulling his leg back to kick again.
Rolling his eyes Eric performed a curse Hermione couldn't hear but Blaise was suddenly unconscious. "You shouldn't mess with things you don't understand." He growled his hands squeezing Hermione's abdomen hard.
Hermione let out a cry of pain and her stomach was released.
"You don't even deserve to be in Hermione's presence after what you did to her." Draco growled managing to get one arm loose and wrap it around Hermione's waist without anybody but Hermione noticing.
Eric laughed lightly. "Really boy, what on earth did I do to her?"
"You ass-hole you raped her." Draco shrieked, holding Hermione tightly against him.
Eric turned back to Hermione with a cold glare. "You always were a wonderful actress."
Draco stopped struggling. "What does he mean Hermione." Draco growled letting his glare fall on her.
Hermione was shaking with sobs. "I'm so so...sorry Draco." She managed to get out.
"You never were raped were you?" Draco felt like his heart had just been torn from his body and shredded to a million pieces.
Hermione stopped sobbing so much. "Yes I was."
"No you weren't for god's sake woman." Eric had sat down in front of them and was rolling his eyes.
"Hermione." Draco said softly. "I want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
Hermione nodded and got her sobs under control before launching into her story.
"I met Eric when me and Harry and Ron and Ginny went on a summer trip to Sweden. He had been sweet at the time and seemed to like me. I kind of liked him back had never really felt what it was like to be liked back by a boy. I couldn't help it, I let myself be tricked. He asked me to be his girlfriend and I accepted obviously. We had been dating for a nearly a month and i began to really trust him. One night he took me out on a date and well on thing led to another and we were eventually in bed together." Hermione let the sobs rack her body before continuing. "When I saw his Dark Mark I wanted nothing more than to just get away from him but he wouldn't let me. In the end yes I did get raped."
Eric rolled his eyes. "Oh please, you wanted me the whole time."
"This is all very touching but we need a few more things covered before we kill you all." Lucius Malfoy cut in. "Except for Potter of course."
"I suppose a few more, shall we say introduction, are needed." Zabini had stepped forward with two people behind him.
"Jake and Nicole." Lucius introduced as each stepped forward in turn.
"Nicole!" Amy shrieked. "You...you...how could you!"
"Well maybe if you hadn't been such a bitch and ran off with these lackwits, I would still be your friend." Nicole snarled. "Except for Draco. He's no lackwit."
Draco winced in disgust as Nicole stepped towards him and ran a hand through his hair. He pursed his lips and tried to move away as Nicole bent over to kiss him on the cheek. Hermione's face turned red and she glared stonily at Nicole with venom. Nicole stood back and took a step to Hermione. Bending over she moved her hair to the side.
"I see the scar I proudly gave to you is still there." She smirked as she ran a nail over her scar.
Hermione seethed in pain and felt tears come to her eyes.
"Get away from her." Draco snarled, livid.
Nicole didn't look at him but pulled back and wiped her hands off. Jake stepped forward with a hand on Nicole's shoulder.
"Hello." He said sneering at them.
Blaise glared stonily at him and Jake glared back with the exact same look of disgust. Hermione remembered the last time they had seen each other and shuddered. They had gotten in a fist fight after Jake had insulted her. Blaise glared up at him and then spit at his shoes.
Draco suddenly squirmed free of the ropes and lunged at Eric. The two boys rolled around on the floor each trying to kill the other. Blaise had been able to get free, as well, and jumped into the fight to help Draco. In seconds Blaise and Draco were both on the other side of the room.
"Expelliaramus." Harry and Ron screamed.
They had both stolen wands from the two closest Death Eaters. Lucius Malfoy and Eric Corbindor's wands flew out of their hands into the outstretched arms of Hermione and Amy. Curses and hexes flew through the room and Hermione moved stealthily along the wall with Amy to reach Draco and Blaise. Both boys had retrieved wands and were fighting off as many Death Eaters as they could.
Draco barely looked at Hermione before pulling her to his side without missing a beat. Hermione grasped his hand and held on for dear life as she threw spells every which way. Hermione began wishing that someone would come and help them. They were greatly outnumbered and Ginny and Ron were already disarmed. Amy squealed as her wand went sailing through the air and into the hands of an unknown Death Eater. Blaise grabbed her and pushed her behind him for protection.
Hermione screamed as the bedroom door blasted open and in stepped more of the Order of the Phoenix. A gleeful smile came to Hermione's face as the tables were turned.
"Oi, you four." Hermione looked up to see one of the Weasley twins jogging towards them and dodging spells at the same time. "We have to get to the Ministry. All of the other Death Eaters are there and waging war. Move!"
Draco grabbed Hermione's hand and pulled her along with him. Most of the Death Eaters were already unconscious and being tied up. Harry and Ron and Ginny were ahead of them. Hermione didn't fancy catching up with them as Ron and Ginny didn't seem to forgive her. Hermione's heart however had pains going through it as Draco seemed to be avoiding her gaze. At a fireplace, in a room Hermione had yet to be in, everybody seemed to be flooing away quickly to the Ministry. Draco pulled Hermione off to the side.
"I don't want you to go, Hermione." Draco said bluntly with his hands on both hips.
Hermione scowled. "Draco I appreciate that you care so much but I am going whether you like it or not. I do plan on being part of the reason the Dark Side fell, thank you very much."
Draco's face fell. "It won't be safe for you or the baby." He whispered.
"I know but it will be worth it in the end." Hermione whispered putting a hand on the side of Draco's face and stood on her toes to kiss him fully on the lips. "Don't worry Draco I'll be fine."
Draco wrapped his arms around her in a loving embrace and buried his head in her hair. "Be careful."
"I will be. You better watch yourself as well." Hermione warned, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hermione it's your turn." Someone called from the fire.
Hermione kissed Draco again and turned to go to the fireplace. Draco followed behind her closely and watched as she swirled away in the fire. Hermione landed in the middle of the Atrium in the Ministry of Magic. Moving away from the fire she grabbed her wand and stuck it in front of her. Out of the fire stepped Draco and he jumped right into the battle. Without thinking Hermione followed him and began throwing hexes and curses at Death Eaters.
They had been fighting for nearly forty-five minutes, although Hermione didn't notice, when the fighting ceased as Harry and Voldemort began dueling. Holding her breath, Hermione backed against a wall and watched. Few people were still fighting but nobody paid them any heed. Hermione screamed despite herself as they both at the same time uttered the worst curse.
Two beams of green shot out form their wands and blasted into each other. Before she knew what was happening Hermione felt herself falling and everything went black.
