Chapter Fourteen.

The Avenger.

After attacking me Potter had decided, he was not yet satisfied and went to find Lavender to take her to "Make out hallway" a dark and secluded hallway with many darker spots for couples to enjoy themselves without being disturbed and you would not notice if you were not looking. Draco knew that this was where Potter would be and after disturbing three or four couples including Ron and Neville he finally found Potter and Lavender.

"Lavender leave," he commanded his voice full of rage," go find everyone else and tell them to leave i have some unfinished business."

"You can't tell me what to do!" he sulked giving him puppy dog eyes trying to bat her eyelashes out of leaving.

"Trust me Lavender you don't want to see what's about to happen," he told her grabbing Potter's arm in his iron grip as Potter had done to me as he tried t run away like the chicken he was.

"See what?" She asked giving Potter a confused doe eyed innocent look.

"Payback." was all he answered her. Getting the message, Potter joined in the conversation finally.

"Lavender leave pet, i believe i need to have words with this ferret son of a death eater. Just do as he says and get rid of everyone else okay dear?"

"Okay babe same time next week?" she asked to which he just nodded her head. She kissed him on the cheek, went, and removed everyone else from the corridor.

When everyone was gone, Draco released Potter and threw him against the wall.

"Why?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"I was only giving that slut what she wanted and what she deserved." Potter retorted. Draco curled his hand into a fist and swung it at Potter missing.

"She didn't deserve to be raped you pig!" he swung again connecting with Potter's stomach winding him for a bare moment and standing again to full height once he had recovered.

"She's a slut, I'm sure she enjoyed it," he smiled disgustingly before adding the blow that would drive Draco crazy, "girls get raped for a reason you know, that mudblood had it coming. If i hadn't done it I'm sure you would have, Daddy would have been so proud if you had," he taunted. White-hot rage filled Draco like nothing he had ever felt before and he wanted to kill Potter with his bear hands something he had never wanted to do. He hated inflicting pain upon others but now he felt differently.

"My father was the rapist, murder not me," he debated controlling the sea of rising anger inside of him.

"Sure what ever Malfoy you were always just like him this year you're just a pussy." Draco tried so hard but he was now pushed beyond the edge of caring and he let his rage consume him throwing a punch at Harry's face knocking him out clean with one hit but he didn't want to stop there and he began kicking him with all his might and when that didn't contain him he got down on his hands and knees and beat into his body venting the last seven years of anger he had felt towards the self righteous prick, for hurting then raping his one true love which he was sure would never love him in return.

"Mister Malfoy!" Snape called seeing the blonde haired youth leaning over a pile of broken and battered flesh the blood all over his face. He was doing a surprise patrol to catch out any students up to shenanigans they were not supposed to be up to but he had not expected to find the blood and gore scene before him. He was stunned at the violence the youth was displaying if not a bit scared. "Draco! Stop it you'll kill him!" Draco turned to look at him and he saw in him another man not the student he had loved like a son for the past seven years.

"That's the point," he growled his blood spattered hand ceasing for a moment before he began to shake the mass below him. Snape fearing for his and the life in Malfoy's hands pulled out his wand.

"You leave me no choice Draco, Petrificus totallus!" Draco froze in a full body bind and lay beside his enemy. Snape looked over the remmanants of the attacked student to see no other than Harry Potter. He picked Potter up disgusted at having to do so and muttered the counter curse for Draco. "Follow me Mister Malfoy," he said disappointed in the youth. He carried Potter to the hospital wing explaining the situation to Madam Pomfrey who looked at Draco and shook her head sadly before Snape led a stunned, mortified, sullen yet proud Draco to his office dungeons. He had done what he had told Hermoine he would do he gave her revenge.

"Never in my life have i seen anyone act so reckless, so immature, and so irresponsible with no care for the well being or even the LIFE of another human being! I should strip you of your Head Boy title straight away but seeing as you have been a son to me for seven years and never have i seen you behave like this I will give you a chance to explain yourself." Draco was shocked, as he had expected expulsion not this.

"Hermoine," was all he could say.

"I need more of an explanation than that!"

'I'm sorry professor I can't tell you what happened, it's a personal matter and i think it best if you got McGonagall to talk to her. It isn't my lace to tell you what happened."

"Very well Draco," he sighed, "but i am very disappointed in you. Never in my wildest imaginings did i think you were capable of such a horrific behavior. So alike to your father in all my life."

"Yes professor, I'm sorry professor."

"I expected so much more than that from you. Well i will give you Monday off and I expect to see you and Miss Granger in your common room after breakfast. We will inform Potter of this meeting and give him a chance to explain but i doubt he can remain conscious or is not brain dead let alone speak on his behalf. That is all dismissed."

'Yes Professor, Thank you professor, again I'm sorry professor," he mumbled as he left the room.

"Get out of my sight," was all that Snape could say in return.

When Draco finally made his way back to the dorm he decided to check in on me. He found me sitting on my sofa smoking a joint a bowl full of chop and my bottle of Jim beam in front of me with a row of dirty empty half-and-half shot glasses, which I had filled, with Jim Beam and cola tearing coursing their way down my cheeks freely. He rushed to my side and enveloped me in a big hug.

"Don't touch me," i pushed him away.

"Hermoine don't do this to me again."

"Do what?"

"Push me away."

"I feel so dirty," i laughed at my own comment, "I'm a mudblood I am dirty." He grabbed my shoulders causing me to wince which he loosened his grip and squatted down in front of the sofa and me his blue eyes searching my caramel hues.

"You are not dirty Hermoine; you're the greatest witch this school has seen in a long time. You may not have magical parents but they did have the most bewitching witch i have ever set my eyes upon. Potter is the dirty one, i found him groping Lavender after all he did to you, Hell I am even dirtier than Potter i just beat him to a pulp in your honor. Snape caught me and he like myself has never been so ashamed of me in my life. That reminds me McGonagall and Snape will be here Monday after breakfast, you have to tell them what happened."

"Malfoy I can't," I whimpered to him softly.

"You have to they'll expel me if you don't!"

"I didn't ask you to beat up Potter!"

"I did it for you!"

"No you didn't Malfoy you did it for yourself to take your anger out on someone for what happened to your sister so I don't care I don't have to and I won't justify or be accountable for your actions!"

"You know what FINE, look after yourself in the future you seem to be doing a great job of it by the looks of things," he bellowed before storming out of my room. I climbed into bed and before I knew, someone was tapping at my door to wake me up.

I pulled the blanket over my head when i finally awoke Monday morning groaning at the annoying tapping noise coming from my door like an alarm clock that would not shut up.

"Go away Malfoy!" i yelled at the shut door but instead found the culprit to be Professor McGonagall who simply opened the door and walked in like i had never answered.

"Get dressed Miss Granger and please come to the common room, this is not a request either this is very serious matter that needs to be discussed. Mister Malfoy says you have just cause for this and I want to hear what you have to say no hurry up," she turned and walked form the room leaving me to get up and get dressed.

I grudgingly got out of bed and pulled out my black t-shirt that read in white block letters "I wish my lawn was Emo then it would cut itself and pair of long black pants with some clean white cotton underwear. I had completely forgotten the state of my face and body so much so that when i saw myself for the first time since the incident i almost passed out. My head felt light as i felt at my swollen left eye and countless black bruises. I had, had a shower before barely being able to stand on my jelly legs before Malfoy had returned from "Avenging me" washing off all the blood while sitting on the shower floor and crying into my hands but all the bruises and cuts had remained. I was lucky all of my teeth had stayed intact though and was thankful for that. I had scrubbed my purple black and blue skin raw trying to rid myself of the dirt i felt all over and inside of me. I had deserved it i told myself. I pulled my hair into a ponytail before getting dressed not bothering to put make up on my face, as I knew it would be no help.

I finally got to the common room to find Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, a very sorry looking Malfoy and a smug looking Potter who looked in a lot worse a condition than myself...

Seems like just yesterday

You were a part of me

I used to stand so tall

I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight

Everything, it felt so right

Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong

Now I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

I would not give Potter the sick pleasure of seeing me cry. I stormed my way up to him and slapped him hard.

"Miss Granger!" McGonagall reprimanded me.

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

"How dare you, you prick! You are pathetic; you have become what we have fought against for all these years! You're no better than Voldermort!"

I told you everything

Opened up and let you in

You made me feel alright

For once in my life

Now all that's left of me

Is what I pretend to be

So together, but so broken up inside

'Cause I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

"Miss Granger, Explain!" Snape roared at me causing the last strings that had kept me together to snap.

"He raped me!" I yelled back even more furious causing Snape to look like a lost puppy, "The precious golden boy raped me, called me a mudblood, beat me and told me I deserved it! Well guess what Potter looks like you got what you really deserve!"

Swallow me then spit me out

For hating you, I blame myself

Seeing you it kills me now

No, I don't cry on the outside

Anymore...

I threw myself at Potter in blind fury hitting any part of him i could reach.

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

Draco wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me off Harry.

"I think we've heard enough," McGonagall sighed, "Take her to her room mister Malfoy and then come back so we can hand out the required punishments that we see fit.'

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

"Yes professor," he obliged before dragging me kicking and screaming to my room where he locked me in.
