AN: Bwahahahahaha. Yet another chapter! I surprised I posted…four chapters yesterday…I supposed I got a little hooked. )
Chapter Ten: Without you
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Draco led Sirius, Harry, Dumbledore, and Remus down the tunnel under the Whomping Willow, and stopped in front of the door. He tapped it once with his wand, and cut into his hand, dropping a bit of blood onto the "M" on the door. The door glowed a dark eerie green, and opened very slowly…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lucius stupefied Hermione and took by her arms. He looked at his comrades. "Go and open the door. I want everything prepared by the time I get there."
The men in black robes popped away.
Lucius grinned and traced a long, pale slender finger along her cheek. He spoke to her in a singsong voice, "We're going to have fun."
And with that, Lucius popped away, to his Manor. Lucius opened the front door, and unlocked what seemed to be an underground doorway. He dragged her body down very roughly; her head clunked on a couple stairs, on the way down.
He tied Hermione to a pole and brought her back to consciousness. He grinned evilly at her as she struggled against the ropes.
"Struggle all you want," he said dryly, "You cannot get away…or at least, without this." He held up her wand, and snapped it.
A single tear decorated her face. She remembered now, why she had "fallen asleep" in the closet. She whimpered against her will.
Lucius laughed, tossed away the Sapphire necklace with ease, and kissed her harshly. He was nothing like Sirius; Sirius was soft, and loving- not monstrous.
He proceeded to take off her bra, and licked everywhere bare flesh was. He bite hard in various places, and made her bleed- a lot. Lucius took out a knife and carved things into her abdomen.
Hermione screamed out in plain. She could feel the blood trickling painfully to her feet.
Lucius kneeled down, and sucked of, what blood remained on (the outside) of her. He kissed her mouthy with his blood stained lips and whispered huskily in her ear, "You'll never get out…no one knows you're her…I will always come back, and play. Eventually, you'll beg to have me…"
Lucius stood up, and chuckled. He walked away, followed by his comrades.
He did what he said…he came back every night, for at least fifteen years, and tortured her. And, if she ever "wanted him" it was because he brought water and bread…and warmth. Things she had to survive. She never wanted him carnally. She always wished Sirius would come back…
It had been almost a month since Lucius had not returned. She had been surviving on what water dripped down, and occasional crumbs, or insects she'd find…she wanted to stay alive…
Hermione heard something, and begged it was Lucius, or the Ministry, or something!
She kept her head bowed low, incase it was Lucius. He always hit her if she had her head raised…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sirius went down the tunnel first (after shoving Draco out of the way) and stopped at the bottom in shock. He saw woman, stick skinny, with long brown hair that was decorated with spider webs. Sirius went forward, not caring if it was a trap or what. He cupped the side of her face.
"Hermione?" He whispered softly.
The girl raised her head, and gazed into the man's great blue/grey eyes. A look of confusion spread on her face. She coughed.
"Sirius?" She managed to slur out.
Tears started poring out from his eyes, "Hermione!" He said while hugging her.
Hermione started sobbing, "SIRIUS!"
Sirius undid the ropes with his wand, and took her in his arms and kissed her cheek. She flinched. Sirius looked…a big bruise was on her cheek. He looked over her bare body, and noticed many cuts, and splotches of pretty colors.
Harry jumped over, "Hermione!"
Hermione smiled at Harry, "Hey Harry."
Remus joined the group and placed his cloak onto her shaking body.
"Welcome back, Hermione." He said smiling.
Hermione's face beamed, "Remus! I missed you guys…Lily, James, have they….?"
Sirius nodded glumly, "Hermione, you're back from where you started. You're supposed to be in your seventh year, but…you've aged…a lot."
A soft "Oh…" escaped her lips.
Dumbledore walked over, and herded them over back to Hogwarts. "Perhaps," He said, "We should get her to Poppy." He turned to Hermione, "I would offer you a lemon drop, but I seem to have misplaced them…"
Hermione smiled at the headmaster, "That's alright."
The boys took Hermione to the hospital wing, where she told them everything about the spell, and the necklace. Everyone was…shocked to say the least. Remus and Sirius shared a couple old jokes with Hermione, and laughed together. It was almost perfect. They were still missing Lily and James…
After about an hour, Dumbledore shooed everyone out, (aside from Sirius) saying that Hermione needed rest.
Sirius held her hand and ran his fingers through her hair, "I missed doing that."
Hermione smiled peacefully, and kissed his lips, "I missed you." She said.
Sirius nodded, "I missed you as well. I didn't sleep as well without my Hermione…"
She grinned, "Think after his we can go for a swim?"
Sirius laughed, "Of course," He said, "But won't it get you hair frizzy?"
Hermione pouted, "You said you didn't care."
He nuzzled her neck, "I don't."
Hermione looked at the ring on his finger, "I gave you that." She said.
Sirius nodded, "Indeed you did…I had something I was going to give you at the end of seventh year, but, you…disappeared."
"And what was that?" She asked.
Sirius pulled out a black velvet box, and pulled out a golden ring with several rubies incrusted in it.
"This." He said. Sirius smoothed back her hair. "Marry me?" He asked.
Hermione kissed him gently, "Yes." She said giddily.
Sirius slipped the ring on her finger and kissed the top of her head.
"I love you." She said lovingly.
"And I you, my Hermione."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom,
The children play. The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.
Without you, the breeze warms, the girl smiles, the cloud moves.
Without you, the tides change, the boys run, the oceans crash.
The crowds roar, the days soar, the babies cry, without you.
The moon glows, the river flows, but I die, without you.
The world revives,
Colors renew,
But I know blue, only blue, lonely blue, within me blue
Without you. Without you the hand gropes, the ear hears, the pulse beats.
Without you, the eyes gaze, the legs walks, the lungs breath.
The mind churns!
The mind churns!
The heart yearns!
The heart yearns!
The tears dry, without you.
Life goes on, but I'm gone.
'Cause I die, without you.
Without you.
Without you.
Without you
"Without you" Rent
Finis
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AN: Did that make anyone else cry?
