chapter 11

Hermione headed back up to her room. She had Severus's trust and she was determined not to do anything that would lose it. Unfortunately Draco had other ideas.

"Go away Draco."

"Come on Hermione, what did I ever do to you?"

"You did a lot. You almost lost me the one I love, now leave me alone." He tried to stop her from going in her room by grabbing her arm but she shook him off.

"I said leave me alone Draco."

"Hermione I love you." Hermione looked at him and he looked sincere.

"I'm sorry Draco but I love someone else."

"Who?"

"Someone."

"Yeah right I think you're just scared." He had grabbed her arm again.

"What do I have to be scared of?"

"Of love. Of letting someone in. And of sex."

"I am not afraid of any of those."

"Then why won't you sleep with me?"

"Because, I don't love you." He let go of her arm and she walked into her room. She lied down on her bed and sighed. Now why couldn't I have done that before all this happened? She smiled and closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up the next morning she smiled thinking of how Severus trusted her. She got up and jumped in the shower. She headed to breakfast and smiled as she saw Ginny and Harry cuddling. Ginny was sitting on Harry's lap with her arms around his neck.

"Morning Ginny, Harry," Hermione said. She smiled when Ginny looked embarrassed and immediately got off of Harry's lap.

"H-Hermione I didn't see you there." Harry had gotten up and walked over to talk to Ron.

"That's ok. I'm just surprised that it took you so long." Hermione grinned and Ginny blushed.

"So…" Ginny said as if she was expecting something.

"So what?"

"So what happened with Snape last night?"

"Oh that. Well he seemed upset at first but then I told him that I didn't want any of it to happen and he said he trusted me."

"See? I told you he wouldn't hate you."

"But then Draco showed up."

"Uh oh what happened?"

"Nothing." Ginny looked confused.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I didn't let him do anything. I stopped him Gin." Ginny squealed and hugged Hermione. Hermione then looked up at Severus and smiled. 'I love you,' she mouthed.

He smiled and mouthed, 'I love you too.' When she went to her classes she didn't even notice that Draco wasn't there, until Potions. Hermione had arrived early like always.

"I'm gonna move your seat."

"What why?"

"Well your partner is why." Hermione was confused.

"I thought you trusted me."

"I do trust you. I don't trust him."

"Well if you must. So where am I going to sit now?"

"I was thinking up here in the front." He pointed to a seat right in front of his desk.

"I could make it work," she said smiling. She leaned up to kiss him but broke the kiss when she heard students coming down the hallway. Hermione took her seat and listened to Severus's lecture. After class she had dinner. She looked up at Severus hoping to catch his eye. When he looked at her she kept pointing to her head. He looked confused and Hermione was getting frustrated.

Why do you keep poking yourself in the head?

Finally! I was trying to get you to do this.

Oh why?

Well I have a surprise for you. I want you to come to my room with me after dinner.

And what might the surprise be?

You'll find out when you get to my room. She grinned and blew him a small kiss. After dinner she waited for him outside the Great Hall. She looked around and made sure no one was around. She took his hand and led him up the stairs. When they got to her room she leaned against the door so he couldn't get in.

"Wait out here I have to get ready." She leaned up and kissed him passionately, then slipped inside her room. She walked over to her dresser and took her shirt off. She turned around and almost screamed. Draco was standing by her door.

"Holy shit, you scared me." She realized she didn't have a shirt on and grabbed a towel off the floor to cover herself up. "How did you get in here?" she asked nervously.

"I have been waiting for you."

"Get out Draco." He looked different. His eyes were full of lust. Hermione was getting nervous. He didn't move.

"We need to talk."

"I have already said everything I need to Draco."

"Why don't you love me?"

"I just don't ok? Just leave." He walked over to her.

"Get away from me." He grabbed her arm but she pulled away. He took her arms again forcefully and this time she couldn't get out of his grasp.

"I know you felt it. I felt it too."

"Draco, what are you doing?" She tried to pull her arms away but he was too strong.

"I'm gonna make you feel it."

"Draco, please. You're hurting me." He pushed her up against the wall roughly and she gasped as pain filled her back. She was crying.

"Stop! You're hurting me. Draco, stop!" He was now holding her arms against the wall so hard she was sure she would have bruises on her wrists. He pushed her and she fell onto the floor. She tried to crawl towards the door but he climbed on top of her and turned her over so she was on her back. He was sitting on her. She tried to hit him but he grabbed her hands.

"Please stop!" she said with tears streaming down her face.

Severus was getting impatient outside. She was torturing him, making him wait like this. He thought she was toying with him until he heard something crash in her room.

"Hermione? Hermione, are you ok?" He got worried when she didn't answer. He opened the door slightly, stuck his head in and saw Draco on top of Hermione. She was crying and trying to push him off of her. Severus ran over and threw him off of her. He helped her stand up. She had to hold onto him to keep from falling over. She looked at Draco in disgust.

"See why I couldn't ever love you?" He looked shocked. He couldn't believe what he had just done. He ran out of the room leaving Hermione and Severus.

"I'm sorry," she said and put her head on his chest and began to cry again. She fell down but he sat with her. He just rubbed her back as she just sat and cried.

"It's ok Hermione. It's not your fault. It's not your fault."

"Hermione are you in…" Ginny had come to talk to Hermione and was confused when she saw the door open.

"Oh my god, Hermione! What happened?" She ran over to Hermione when she saw Hermione and Severus on the floor and Hermione was crying.

"Professor what happened?"

"Draco tried to rape her." Ginny looked shocked.

"Why?" Severus looked at Hermione who looked at Ginny, but still didn't say anything.

"Hermione why did he try to r-r…hurt you?" Ginny asked concerned.

"B-Because I wouldn't sleep with him. All those times he was just trying to fuck me."

"What do you mean all those times?" Severus said curiously. "I thought it was just the one time."

"Uh oh," said Ginny. She stood up and pulled Severus out in the hall with her. "Look Professor, Hermione told me all about it. Draco has been stalking her. He had some sort of power over her and she couldn't control herself. He would do things to her and no matter how much she wanted to leave she just couldn't."

"Then why didn't she come to me?"

"She thought that you would get mad at her and hate her. She never meant to do anything to hurt you. She loves you. She really loves you. Just go talk to her."

"I have never taken orders from a student, unless you count Hermione," he said grinning without knowing it.

"Too much information!" Ginny said covering her ears. Severus laughed.

"But…maybe it's time I start." Ginny smiled. She started to leave.

"Miss Weasley…" she turned around. "Thank you."

"No problem Professor."
