Pirate Blood

Chapter 27

Protecting Hermione

A/N: This chapter does have some material not suitable for children. I really think I can keep a T rating. If someone thinks it should be M please tell me in a REVIEW and I will move the rating up.

By two in the morning, everyone was going back to the dorms. When Ron came out of an empty class room. "Hermione, can I talk to you?" he asked.

Hermione nodded at her friends to go on. "Sure."

About five minutes later, Draco, Blaise, Chris, and Jesse went running back to the empty classroom. Jesse kicked the door open. Ron was on top of Hermione. She was struggling to get out from underneath him.

"Stop it Ron!" Hermione yelled.

"You would fuck Jesse. Why not me?" Ron asked as he tried to rip off her halter top.

Jesse threw Ron off of her and onto the floor. Jesse pointed his wand at Ron. "Stay down." Jesse ordered.

"I could take you." Ron said, drawing his wand.

"You think so, Weasley?" Blaise said coming up next to Jesse.

"Three against one aren't very good odds." Draco said, coming up on the other side of Jesse, "At least the odds aren't good for you. They are pretty good for us, though."

"You two realize this is Hermione you're fighting for. Mudblood remember?" Ron said.

Jesse lunged at Ron. Ron fell to the ground. Jesse was on top of him, punching him. "YOU NEVER CALL HER THAT! YOU BETTER NOT EVEN TOUCH HER, YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU EVEN LOOK AT HER THE WRONG WAY, AND I'LL KILL YOU!" Jesse screamed. Ron had a bloody nose two black eyes and a fat lip.

Draco and Blaise started to pull Jesse off of Ron. He had done enough. "Got it?" Jesse said to Ron. Ron moaned in pain in response. They took it as a yes.

The three girls were sitting on a table. Hermione looked disheveled. Her top had a rip in it that went up far enough to show her bra. Her cheeks were tearstained. Chris and Pansy were comforting her. Jesse went to Hermione. "Are you alright?" she nodded. He wrapped his arms around her tightly. "I won't let him hurt you. I promise, Hermione."

Chris walked up to Ron on the floor. She kicked him in the groin. She walked back to Hermione.

They went back to their dorms. Blaise, Draco, and Pansy made sure to give Hermione a hug before she left.

That morning at eight kids would get up. At eleven the train would leave. Hermione woke up from a nightmare at ten to eight. She saw Jesse asleep in a chair beside the window. Only about four feet from her bed. Hermione tip-toed over to the chair. She tapped his shoulder. He instantly woke up. "Hermione." he said in a whisper.

"Jesse, I'm fine. What are you doing in here?" Hermione asked.

"I wanted to make sure Weasley didn't find a way to get in here. I guess I fell asleep." Jesse said.

There was a slight smile on her face. "You didn't have to do that Jesse."

"Yes I did. I promised I wouldn't let him hurt you last night. I'm going to keep that promise." Jesse said.

"You should go back to your dorm. Don't want any questions of why I have a boy in my room." Hermione said.

"I'll see you at breakfast." Jesse said. He picked up his broom from behind him. He took off out the window. Hermione took a hot shower and got dressed in torn jeans and a black long sleeved tee. She pulled her hair up in a pony tail.

Hermione didn't talk to anyone at breakfast. People asked her if she was okay. She would just answered with a small smile and a yes. Hermione was very pale. She hadn't gotten a good night's sleep.

On the train, She walked with Jesse, Chris, Draco, and Blaise. Pansy was staying at the school. They all got a compartment together. They had been on the train for half an hour. "Hermione, we need to talk." Harry said, as he opened their compartment door.

Jesse was about to get up, but Hermione put her hand in front of him. "I can do this." She walked out into the hall. "Talk." she said.

"Why did Ron get beat up?"

"He tried to rape me."

"That's rubbish! Ron wouldn't do that."

"Well, he did. He had been drinking. I could smell Firewhiskey on his breath."

"Why are you hanging out with Slytherins?"

"Because they are my friends. I have known them since I was eight. I didn't want to be more of an outcast by being friends with our rival house. But at this point I don't care."

"You're different, Hermione. I don't understand it." Harry said.

"No, I was different for you. Right now I am being myself."

"I don't believe anything your saying."

Hermione took off her top. She had on a blue bra. "You see those bruises, Harry? That's what Ron did." There was bruises scattered around her shoulders and hips, from Ron trying to hold her down. "So you can go on believing that he would never do that, but he did. Face reality, Harry."

"So you'll get naked for everyone but me?" said a voice.

"Go to hell, Ron." Hermione said, putting her shirt back on.

"She's telling the truth?" Harry asked Ron. Harry tackled Ron to the ground. He started punching him. Eventually, Ginny got Harry off of Ron.

"Help me up, Gin." Ron said.

"No. You tried to do that to Hermione. You're not even my brother." Ginny said. Ginny walked over to Hermione. "You need me to heal you?"

"Thanks Ginny." she said.

Ginny pointed her wand at her stomach. She muttered some spell. Hermione lifted up her shirt to see no bruises. Ginny hugged her. "I'm so sorry about my brother." she whispered.

"It's not your fault." Hermione said. Amazingly, it looked like no one noticed what had just went on. Only people in Hermione and Harry's compartments.

Harry also went to Hermione and gave a hug. "Sorry for not believing you."

"It's okay. I'm gonna go back into my compartment. Try to get some sleep. I'll see you later." she went back to her compartment.

"Potter beat up Weasley?" Draco said.

"Yeah." Hermione told him.

"Good." Jesse said.

Hermione fell asleep, everyone soon followed.
