"It will be ok." He said trying to stay strong for her… but if only he truly new what Hermione was really crying about… Draco.

"It's not fair, why won't he just leave me alone?" Hermione thought as she placed her head gently on Harry's shoulder.

Harry and Hermione stayed in the common room all day only managing to see a few people between classes and that was because they forgot a book or was waging. Three a clock hit its mark and the common room started filling up, so Harry and Hermione decide to go up to Harry's room for privacy. They walked in when Harry said.

"It's not fair."

"What's not fair?" Hermione asked as she went and sat on his bed.

"Ginny… I can't believe it… how could she kill herself? I don't understand I mean, there are day I just wanna kill myself and I never go through with it… lack of courage I think." Harry joked. "She was brave… how could she?" Harry asked.

"I don't know." Hermione lied. "But I understand what you are saying, there are days for me as well where I wanna just… well you know, but then I think…" Hermione thought… what is there to loose? Her parents are dead, Ginny is dead and Draco is abusing her, she wouldn't be missing much. "I think that I deserve to live… it's my life and I don't wanna die yet…" Hermione was cut off.

"And Ginny wanna to die now." Harry said.

"No she was driven to it." Hermione gasped.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"That came out wrong… what I meant to say was… someone who is depressed is determined to kill themselves sometimes." Hermione covered up as there came a knock at the door. Harry walked over and revealed Lavender.

"Is Ron here?" She asked.

"No… he left… he has gone home for about two weeks." Harry answered; she looked around the room until her eyes became fixated on Hermione sitting on Harry's bed.

"What is she doing here?" Hermione heard Lavender whisper to Harry.

"Ahh." Harry muttered as he looked back at Hermione.

"I thought we had something going here?" Lavender said.

"We do I am not saying we don't." Harry stated.

"Then why haven't you come and seen me?"

"I have had a lot to deal with." Harry said in a low voice that Hermione could still hear.

"Are you seeing her?" Lavender asked.

"What? Hell no, why would you think that?" Harry asked shocked.

"Because you are spending all your time with her." Lavender proclaimed.

"That doesn't mean a thing." Harry growled.

"Well I have needed you Harry." Lavender said in a seductive tone.

"Ahh." Harry shivered. "You have to go…" Harry gasped as she reached down to his genital area.

"Aww Harry." Lavender winged.

"Go." Harry whispered as he gently pushed the door closed.

Harry turned around to see Hermione standing up with her arms crossed.

"What's with Lavender?" Hermione said with bitterness.

"What? Nothing why?" Harry said a little higher then he normally would.

"Harry, I heard… I saw her touching you… Harry that's Ron's girlfriend…" Hermione was cut off.

"So what he doesn't notice her… she is just a good screw for him." Harry blurted out.

"You're seeing her… Harry how could you? I thought that…. Oh neer mind what I thought... I suppose I was your next screw wasn't I?" Hermione spat as she walked towards the door.

"Hermione that is not true I have never had sex with her." Harry pleaded for Hermione to stay.

"All guys are the same." Hermione said as she reached for the door handle.

"What is that meant to mean?" Harry asked but Hermione didn't answer. "Hermione." Harry asked as he grabbed her left wrist, the one Draco had injured causing Hermione to yell out in pain. "What is it Hermione?" Harry asked as he pulled up her wrist.

"Don't Harry please." Hermione said tears forming in her eyes, she didn't want to pull away, because she was afraid of causing herself more pain. Harry pulled Hermione's arm over and slowly slid up her jumper revealing a very badly bruised wrist.

"Hermione what happened?" Harry gasped.

"I had an accident." Hermione covered.

"How?" Harry asked.

"I…" Hermione couldn't take it. "Draco did it." Hermione finally said she felt a great weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

"What?" Harry was stunned Hermione walked back to the bed.

"Harry you must promise me, Harry please… promise me you won't tell anyone please." Hermione pleaded as Harry came and sat down next to her.

"I promise." Harry said placing a hand on her knee causing Hermione to jump in pain once more, and she revealed a purple bruise on her thigh. "Hermione what the hell is he doing to you?"

"Ever since forth year Draco has been… beating me up every chance he got." Hermione said as quickly as she could. "Hitting me, kicking me you name it Harry… and this past week he has just started sexually…" Hermione was cut off by a raging Harry.

"His raped you?" Harry yelled.

"No, not yet… but I am scared Harry I am scared that he will… yesterday before I found out about Ginny." Hermione was cut off again.

"You ran into him." Harry said.

"Yes... Harry please let me finish." Hermione pleaded and Harry nodded. "He… this is really hard for me to say… but he fingered me last night… oh god." Hermione bent over clutching her eyes as if acid was purled into them.

"Her what?" Harry screamed.

"That's why I was late." Hermione said sitting up.

"That's it we have to tell Dumbledore..." Harry said getting up and walking to the door swiftly.

"No Harry. You can't… please Harry you promised." Hermione said pulling him back.

"Well what am I meant to do Hermione… sit here and watch him." Harry stopped.

"Yes Harry you must… I have gone through this on my own for two years Harry please… you can't, what I need from right now, is to be here for me please Harry…" Hermione desperately scanned his eyes for the answer she was seeking and it came.

"I won't say a word… but if you ever need someone to bail you out at any stage or if you need me I am here ill always be hear for you Mione. Come here." Harry said walking towards her and embracing her into a hug. Harry and Hermione went back to the bed to talk.

"Harry."

"Yea." Harry said.

"Ginny… I know who the father was." Hermione said looking at him.

"Who…" Harry said surprised but then he saw Hermione's face. "Oh no… no…no…no" Harry said.

"Yea… its draco… I didn't know… he was abusing her too… and that's what I think made her so depressed." Hermione said tears once again forming in her eyes.

"That SON OF A BITCH." Harry yelled getting up and kicking the wall. "And you want me keeping this a secret?" Harry said with him back towards her."

"Yes… otherwise he'll kill me Harry… you know that he is capably of doing it… you know that he has connections… Harry please." Hermione walked up to him and slip her hands around his waist.

"Ok. Ok" Harry said puling away from her.

"Harry Lavender?" Hermione said she wanted to know what was going on.

"She likes me… always has… she was having sex with Ron… that's all Ron was…" Harry sighed.

"Do you like her?" Hermione asked.

"No I would never like her… lets just say she is too easy… I wouldn't want to catch anything." Harry laughed but got a stern look from Hermione. "What?" Harry joked.

"Nothing." Hermione laughed. "I'm hungry." Hermione stated.

"Me too." Harry said taking Hermione's hand while waking down to dinner.
