A/N: Whoo next chapter here for you. Does the title make you nervous? Good because I wanted it to ;)

Chapter 7: Uh Oh!

The next morning Hermione was the last one to wake up. She headed down the stairs to find Ginny, Harry, and Ron sitting by the fire. They had brought her a plate of her favorite breakfast which was sitting on the coffee table.

"Mornin' Hermione. Hungry? We brought you some food since you missed breakfast," said Ron.

"Yeah I am actually. Thanks guys." Hermione took the plate and sat next to Ginny. "So what's up for today?"

"Well I was just gonna hang out here," said Harry.

"That sounds cool. It'll be fun, since school is ending soon and we won't see each other as much." They talked and Hermione even played chess against Ron. (He beat her horribly, but it was fun.) They went to lunch together and Ginny even caught Hermione looking up at Severus and elbowed her laughing. They went back to the common room and talked when Hermione told them that she should head back to her room.

"Hey well we have to head that way anyways, why don't we walk you?" said Harry.

"Ok if you guys want to." Hermione grabbed her things and they all headed out. When they reached Hermione's corridor, she said good-bye to the gang as they continued on forward. Hermione looked up at her door to find none other than Draco Malfoy standing next to it. Hermione looked around for anyone that was around. She forgot all about her friends right down the hall.

"What do you want Malfoy?"

"Well seeing as your boyfriend gave me a black eye, I thought I would repay him. Do you think you can pass along the favor to him?"

"Go away Malfoy."

"Not this time, mudblood." He pushed her up against the wall and held her by the throat. He tore her shirt open and undid her pants. She tried to yell but he covered her mouth with his hand. He pulled her shirt completely off and threw it on the ground. She bit his hand and screamed when he let go.

"That won't do you any good mudblood. No one is here to save you this time."

"Think again Malfoy." Draco's head shot towards Harry, Ron and Ginny who had heard Hermione scream and came running. Draco let go of Hermione and she fell to the floor. He turned to Hermione again, who was trying desperately to cover herself up.

"What was Snape too busy, you had to have Potty and the Weasels save you this time?"

"What are you talking about Malfoy?" asked Harry. Ginny shot Hermione a look of terror.

"What you mean you haven't told them yet." He said to Hermione but then turned to Harry, Ron and Ginny. "You're little mudblood here is screwing Professor Snape."

"You're lying Malfoy. Get out of here before I curse you into oblivion."

"Fine. Seeing her like this is far better than what I had planned." Draco walked away grinning. Hermione couldn't force herself to look at Harry and Ron. Then the realization hit them.

"Hermione, how could you?" Harry asked but Hermione didn't know what to say. Ron and Harry started to leave but Ginny didn't follow.

"Ginny come on." Harry told her. Ginny looked from Harry and Ron to Hermione.

"I'm sorry guys. But I'm staying with Hermione." Hermione finally looked up.

"Why? She had…with Snape!"

"She's my friend that's why. And I'm ok with it." Harry and Ron looked mad as they stormed off. Ginny rushed over to Hermione and gave her a hug as Hermione balled into her hands.

Ten minutes later they were sitting on Hermione's bed talking. Hermione had thrown on a sweatshirt.

"It's ok Hermione. They just don't understand."

"But why did he have to tell them like that? I would have told them, I told you."

"They are guys and don't understand stuff like that yet. I don't think if Ron ever will though. Do you want to talk to Snape?"

"Oh my god! He doesn't even know that you know! Now Harry and Ron know. They'll probably tell everyone."

"It's ok. I don't think they'll do that. No one would believe them. They didn't even believe Draco at first."

"Why did you stay with me? Harry is your boyfriend."

"But you're my best friend. Boys will come and go but friends are forever." Ginny smiled and told Hermione that she would go with her to see Snape if she wanted her to.

"No I should go alone. Thanks though. For everything. I don't know what I would do without you Gin." Hermione hugged Ginny and headed to the dungeons. She knocked on the door which she hadn't done in months.

"Come in." Hermione walked in not knowing what she was going to do.

"Hermione what are you doing…are you ok?" He had noticed that she had been crying. She sighed because she knew she had to tell him.

"It was Draco. He tried to…he attacked me again."

"What! Are you ok? Did he hurt you?"

"No I'm fine. Harry and Ron stopped him. But then he-he told them. About us." Hermione put her head into her hands and started crying again. Severus just held Hermione.

"There's one more thing," she said after a few minutes.

"What's that?"

"Well I sort of told Ginny about us. But it's ok because she is ok with it." Hermione hoped that he wouldn't get mad. After he didn't say anything Hermione decided to speak. "You're not mad are you?"

"No I'm not mad. Well I am mad, but not at you. I'm pissed at Draco. I will have to speak to Albus about this. He was supposed to be followed everywhere. Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yes I'm fine. Just a little upset but nothing physical. I should probably go back to my room. I don't know if Ginny is waiting for me or not." Severus nodded.

"Yes. She is a good friend Hermione. Most people let alone friends wouldn't be so understanding. You're very lucky to have a friend like her."

"I know." She smiled at him and left. She headed back to her room and just as she had expected found Ginny there.

"I hope you don't mind that I stayed. I wanted to make sure you were ok."

"No, I don't mind. Ginny did I say thank you? For everything?"

"Yeah you did."

"Good because I meant it. Severus said that I am lucky to have a friend like you. And he was right."

"Well then he's a good man. So then you told him that I know?"

"Yeah and he said he's not mad. So what are you going to do about Harry? What if he's mad at you?"

"Then he's not worth it. I can stay as long as you need me to."

"No, I think I'll be ok. But thanks for the offer." Ginny gave Hermione a hug offering to stay again and left. Hermione looked around her room and sighed, realizing that she would soon be leaving Hogwarts. She didn't want to leave Severus. She thought maybe she could stay and then she would be with Severus and Ginny. Now that all her exams were over she had nothing to do but wait until graduation. Fortunately it was only a matter of days. Soon she wouldn't be a student anymore and then her relationship wouldn't look as bad. She still had to take into account the age difference between them He was 37 and she was 17. Although, technically she was a legal adult, most people would only see the difference. She lay down and dozed off to sleep. Fortunately for her it was a dreamless sleep. Who knows what she would have dreamt about, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know.
