Unbreakable Potion
Draco led Hermione to the Head's dormitory. Hermione was nervous about living alone with Draco. Mostly because he was friends with Goyle. Hermione shuddered at the thought of Goyle.
"Malfoy, what are the precautions for our dorm? Can anyone enter if they have the password?"
"We can set it up where only certain people are allowed in. Why, is there someone you son't want to come in?" He asked as they rounded the corner. Hermione fought with herself. She didn't know if she should tell Draco the truth.
"No, I was just wondering if anybody could come in. Are we almost there?" She asked, changing the subject. Draco nodded. After another turn, the were nearing a portrait of all four founders of Hogwarts; Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. All four of them were smiling, even Slytherin.
"Password please," Slytherin said, taking a sip of butterbeer.
"Silver lion," Draco responded. All of them nodded and the portrait door swung open, revealing the common room. Hermione gasped. The room was breathtaking.
The common room was the size of Hermione's entire house. It had a huge library, from floor to ceiling with books. Hermione smiled, knowing she would be spending a lot of her time in there. Opposite the library was a fireplace, with enough space inside to fit the two of her. Directly in front of the fireplace was a coffee table, and only one couch. Hermione was confused.
"I asked Professor McGonagall for only one couch," Draco explained, as if he had read her mind. "Figured we could share one, its big enough for the two of us."
"Malfoy, something is seriously wrong with you."
"Why is it that if I do something nice, someone has to question it?"
"Malfoy, I'm not questioning you. I'm just surprised to see you being so nice. Thank you for being so thoughtful. Why don't we finish the tour?" Draco nodded and walked alongside Hermione. They walked to the far end of the common room. There was a beautiful oak grand staircase. It branched off into two more staircases, which led to their bedrooms. In the center was the bathroom. Hermione peered inside. There was what appeared to be a pool-size bathtub. There was also room for his and her towels. Each had room for their own things.
The next part of the tour was the tour of the bedrooms. Here, they did it separately. Hermione walked into her bedroom. It was totally beautiful. Red and gold were everywhere. The sheets and pillowcases were gold while the thick blanket was red. Hermione walked around, admiring everything, from the desk to the small bookshelf. She came to a door near her bed. When she opened it, she saw that it was a walk-in closet. All of her clothes were hanging up and her shoes were lined up on the floor.
Hermione walked out of the closet and saw another door. She walked out of it onto a balcony. It was large and looked like it went to Draco's bedroom. She walked over to the door and knocked softly. She was startled when Draco opened the door, buttoning up his shirt.
"What are you doing out there Granger?" He asked, leaving his shirt partially unbuttoned.
"I wanted to see how far the balcony went. Does your room look the same as mine?" She asked, quickly describing it. Draco listened, occasionally mumbling something.
"Well, my room almost looks like yours, only it's green and black. And instead of a bookshelf, I have a broom closet, to put my broom," he quickly added, noticing Hermione's expression.
"Oh, well, I think that I'll sit out here for a little while. It's a beautiful night." Hermione turned around when she felt a hand grab her arm.
"Do you care if I join you for awhile? I won't do anything, I swear."
"Don't swear, its bad for you," Hermione joked. "You can join me Malfoy. But we can't stay out long, classes start tomorrow."
"Do you know what class you have first?" Draco asked when they sat down.
"Double potions, with Snape. You know, I don't know why he's still teaching. He's too mean to everyone."
"He had a rough childhood I guess. At least that's what my father told me once. My father told me all about Severus Snape."
"Why did he tell you about Snape? What was so special about him?" Hermione asked, wrapping her arms around herself. The night was becoming colder for her.
"He told me that we would soon know the truth," Draco said. But he was partially lying to her. He knew the truth, but he was told not to share it. He remained silent.
"Malfoy?" Hermione asked, breaking the silence.
"What?" Draco responded.
"I want to tell you something. I've been keeping it quiet for two weeks now. But, before I tell you, I want you to promise me something."
"I won't tell anyone," Draco said.
"That, and that you won't try to hurt anyone. Especially this person. If he finds out, he'll hurt me."
"I promise Granger." Hermione took a deep breath. She was finally going to let it all out.
"Goyle attacked me two weeks ago." Draco stood up, visibly angry.
"Did he...did he force himself on you?" He fumed.
"No, but he came close to. I fought him off though. But Malfoy, I think that he'll try it again, here at Hogwarts."
"Goyle is too stupid to attempt something like that at Hogwarts."
"You're probably right." Hermione shivered. This time, Draco noticed.
"Are you cold?" He asked. Hermione nodded. Draco took off his shirt and wrapped it around her shoulders. This warmed her up.
"Won't you get cold?"
"I'm a Malfoy. Malfoy men don't get cold."
"Now, there's the Draco Malfoy I know," and love she almost added. But she stopped and mentally kicked herself. She was going to say something else when Draco said something that surprised her.
"I'm really sorry for calling you a mudblood all those years. I never thought about how much it hurt you."
"I accept your apology."
"Wow, there must be something wrong with you if you're so forgiving so fast."
"Mudblood doesn't mean anything to me anymore." Draco looked puzzled. Hermione told him the whole story. When she was finished, she looked at her watch and stood up. "It's late, and we need to get some rest for tomorrow. We have Double Potions early."
"Goodnight Granger," Draco said as she walked into her room. Then he remembered something that she had said. She said her mother's name was Abigail, but no last name. That name sounded so familiar to him. He stood up and rushed into his bedroom to look through everything he had learned from his father and the Dark Lord.
Draco was looking at one shhet when he heard a knocking on the portrait door. He walked into the common room and opened the door. Standing outside was Goyle. Draco had to resist pulling out his wand and hexing Goyle.
"What do you want Goyle? It's very late. You should be in your dormitory, sleeping."
"I came to talk to you. It's kind of important." Draco moved aside and let Goyle in. While he was shutting the door, Goyle hit him on the head, knocking him out. Goyle tied up Draco and then made his way into Hermione's room. He opened the door slowly. Hermione was already asleep, still in Draco's shirt. Goyle closed the door quietly and put a locking charm on it. He walked over to Hermione and gently touched her cheek.
"Not now Malfoy. Give me five more minutes." This caused Goyle to get angry. He threw off the comforter and grabbed Hermione's wrists. Hermione's eyes jerked open.
"Goyle! Get off of me! How did you get in here!" Goyle smirked as he climbed on top of her.
"Your new friend Malfoy let me in. I want to finish what we started." Goyle lifted Hermione's shirt. She tried to fight him off. But he threw his entire body weight on top of her. Soon Hermione grew tired. She began to scream however.
"Malfoy! Help me!" Hermione screamed as Goyle ripped off her pajama pants and panties. Then he tore off Hermione's bra.
"Malfoy is a little tied up at the moment."
"Draco! Help me!" Hermione screamed louder. Hermione began to cry as she heard Goyle unzip his pants. He was about to enter her when they heard banging on the door.
"Goyle, get your hands off of her!" Draco's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Draco help me! He's raping me!" Hermione yelled. Goyle reached up and slapped her hard acroos the face. Hermione whimpered. Goyle laughed as he forcefully entered her. Pain shot up her body and Hermione screamed.
"Hermione! are you alright!?" Draco yelled. Hermione kept screaming again and again until finally, Goyle stopped. Hermione curled herself into a ball. Goyle stroked her bruised cheek.
"You were okay Mudblood. Maybe if you had had some practice, it would've benn better." Goyle walked to the door. As soon as the door was opened, Draco rushed in, having escaped from the binds. He ran over to Hermione and wrapped her in his shirt. He held her in his arms, listening to her sobbing.
"I'm so sorry Hermione. I didn't think that Goyle was going to knock me out and tie me up. I'm sorry that he hurt you so much. He'll never hurt you again, I promise."
"He raped me. He's already hurt me. And you let him into our dorm. After what I told you, you still let him in here. How could you do that to me? I trusted you to protect me," Hermione yelled, punching Draco's arms. During his entire beating, Draco held on. Draco Malfoy kept holding on. Finally, Hermione stopped hitting him. Soon, the tears stopped. Draco looked down. Hermione was sleeping. He laid her down on her bed and covered her up. He didn't want to leave her alone, so he conjured a pillow and blanket on the floor. He slept on the floor, alongside the girl he used to make fun of.
The next morning, Draco woke up early so that Hermione wouldn't see that he had slept in her room. He went into his own room and gathered his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Hermione woke up to the sound of running water. She knew that Draco was awake. She also knew that he had slept on the floor next to her bed. She had awoken in the middle of the night to find him there. She had watched him sleep, so peaceful, until her eyelids became heavy. she fell back to sleep, knowing that Draco would keep her safe.
"Oh, you're up. Class starts in forty minutes. I've already conjured up some breakfast. If you're hungry," Draco's voice came from the doorway, breaking Hermione out of her daydream.
"I'm starving. Do I have time for a quick shower?" Draco nodded and Hermione got up and went into the bathroom.
"Five minutes later, Draco heard the sound of water running. Soon after, he heard the water turn off. Hermione came out, dressed in her school uniform; a skirt, shirt and tie. She walked over and sat down on the couch.
"What did you get for breakfast?" Hermione asked, smoothing out her skirt. Draco set down a plate filled with eggs, bacon, and pancakes. He set down a glass of pumpkin juice for her. He sat down on the far end of the couch, giving her space.
"You don't have to sit so far away Malfoy. I'm not going to scream or anything. It wasn't your fault that Goyle raped me."
"I know, but it's my fault that he came in here last night. I was distracted by something that you had said when we were on the balcony." Hermione looked at him, surprised to know that he had actually listened to her.
"What did I say that distracted you?"
"You told me that your real mother's name is Abigail. I think I know the reason why you were adopted."
"So you mind showing me?" Hermione asked, eating a piece of bacon. Draco nodded and went into his room. Moments later, he returned, a folder in his hand. He opened the folder and went through the first few pages until fianlly, he came across the right one. He showed it to Hermione.
"Abigail Riddle, daughter of Thomas Riddle Jr., otherwise known as You-Know-Who. She went missing for nine months, then re-appeared. When she was questioned by her father, she told him that she ran off to have a child."
"Me? It says that she returned September 18th. That's a week after I was born."
"Hang on. Her father asked her about the baby."
"What did she say?"
"She told him that the baby girl had died a little while after she was born."
"Is there anyway that we can search for every woman named Abigail that had a baby on September11th?"
"There is, but right now we have to get to class, or Snape'll have our asses. We'll start looking tonight." Hermione nodded. They went into their rooms to grab their books. When they returned to the common room, they made their way to the dungeons. When they got there, Harry and Ron were waiting.
"Are you alright Hermione? You look different," Harry asked, looking at Hermione strangely.
"Yes I'm fine. Why?"
"You're wearing make-up. You never wear make-up." Hermione touched her cheek. It was still tender from the night before. Tears began to form in her eyes as memories came flooding back.
"Oh, if it isn't Potty and Weasel. Is your family too poor again to buy you new robe's Weasel?" Draco asked, walking back over to them. He had seen Hermione's reaction.
"It's non of your business Malfoy. Come on 'Mione. Let's get in there before I end up hexing Malfoy." Hermione nodded and followed her two friends into the room, only glancing back once. Her and Draco locked eyes.
"Today, I will be pairing you up with someone from the oppsite house and gender. You will be brewing a simple love potion. This will temporaily cause everyone to feel attracted to their partners, as well as tell each other the truth. The list of partners are listed here," Snape explained, showing them the chalkboard. Hermione looked for her name, silently praying that she wasn't paired with Goyle. Luckily, she was paired with Draco. Ron wasn't so lucky. He was paired with Pansy Parkinson. Herry was paired with Lavender Brown, Ron's girlfriend, only because Snape ahd run out of Slytherin girls.
"Come on Granger, we need to begin," Draco said, barely above a whisper.
"Don't forget to read the directions. I don't want to mess this up and have it last forever."
"Yeah, Lord knows that I don't want to be attracted to you forever," he said loud enough for the whole class to hear. But inside, he was wishing that he messed it up.
They began their potion. Little did they know that the potion was not intended for the two of them. They didn't see Pansy searching through her bag for a piece of parchment. She glanced over to Hermione and Draco's paper. She quickly noticed that it was the paper she was looking for. She reached over to take it, but Hermione picked it up.
"Alright, now all we have to do is add our hairs," Hermione said after they had added all the materials. She pulled out a few strands of her hair. Draco did the same. They stirred the potion and when it was finally ready, they drank it. They didn't feel anything.
"Aren't we supposed to feel something?" Draco asked, glancing over Hermione's shoulder.
"Yes. Did you add everyhting in the right order?"
"Yes, I did it the way you told me to.You must've messed up the directions."
"But I didn't. I read it line for line." Then she noticed something was different between their paper and the next groups. Hermione showed the two papers to Draco. Draco took both papers, and with Hermione following closely, made his way out of the dungeons to Professor Dumbledore's office. Luckily, he was there.
"Professor, can you tell us what this potion is?" Draco asked, handing the paper to the headmaster.
"Yes I can Mr. Malfoy. this is the directions to making a binding potion. Why do you ask that?" Draco looked at Hermione.
"We made that potion Professor."
"And we drank it," Draco finished.
"Well, you two have made an unbreakable potion, and you are forever bonded to each other." Hermione let out a gasp.
