Chapter 2

The train stopped and I picked up all my books with the flick of my wand and put them all back in my luggage. It was dark so I couldn't find Hermione but I guess that wasn't such a big deal we got to the castle and were sorted…turns out Hermione is a Gryffindor…me? …well…the hat couldn't read me well is what it said. It got tired of trying to figure out what was in my head so he just stuck me in Ravenclaw because I was quiet.

Hermione soon forgot about me or at least we never crossed paths unless I was being bullied…go figure. She had her new friends in Gryffindor and…I had my new friends in slytherin…yeah…the ones on the train. A few years have gone by since me and Hermione's first meeting and it turns out I wouldn't see the last of the brave Gryffindor either. Today is the first day of our third year together and guess who I got to play with…hurray the slytherin bitches.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a nice punch to my face as my glasses went flying. I slunk down but the two lackeys held me up and I sighed and spat blood out of my mouth right into the slytherin that was punching me.

"Why you fucking mudblood!" –SLAM-

I sneered. I honestly was getting tired of this bullshit every fucking year every fucking day. I slapped her arms away and pushed up from my position. My hair was longer then it was my first year and my build has become womanly. I now towered over these slytherin girls I used to be 5 feet now I'm 5' 9" it truly matters. I pushed her away from me and then got slammed back into the wall again.

"Where the fuck do you think you're going"

I looked up at her and sighed with a straight face.

"Was hoping to go look at not so ugly bitches actually…"

"Oh ho ho we have a wise guy here girls…a filthy mudblood at that"

And yep right on cue…-SLAM- god her punches were starting to hurt. I slumped and then I heard someone.

"HEY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOT DOING!"

The slytherins looked up and I just sat there.

"Ohhhhh lookie here girls a Gryffindor mudblood…Hermione Granger…"

My eyes widened and I looked up. She had changed since the last time I saw her…she was becoming a woman…she looked down and gasped recognizing me.

"What are you doing to my friend!"

She rushed over and tried to help me up but then one of the girls slapped her across the face. I froze. I grabbed the slytherin girl that had just slapped her and began to squeeze. She yelped in pain and my eyes began to glow a deep crimson.

"I suggest you keep your fugly hands off her…"

"What the fuck!?" the slytherin tried to get out of my hold and I stood up drastically and launched her into her friends and they all sprawled out onto the floor. I was angry…beyond angry and my muscles tensed as I bared my teeth and roared. The whole hallway shook and they screamed and took off. I began to come back to my senses as a cool hand touched my arm. My face was in anguish and hurt and she touched the now bruising cheek that they punched relentlessly and I put my hand over her slap mark.

I looked at her and for a second and let my guard down. I closed my eyes and pushed her hand off my face and dropped my own from her face. I turned around wiping the blood from my busted lip. I spit some more blood out.

"You shouldn't touch me…or be kind…they'll go after you next."

"No they won't." she pulled me around and I turned my head to the side not looking at her.

"Listen Hermione…we aren't first years anymore…I can't have you come barging in…you got hurt this time-" she cut me off.

"No you listen! Gaile…Those girls were beating on you!" I looked at her and saw how much it had affected her. She grabbed my arm and I grimaced. I didn't know what to do.

"hermi-"

"Gaile!" she pulled my sleeve and I winced.

"Yeah…"

"Stand up for yourself! Honestly!" the anguish on her face was painful to look at.

"I…" Before I could answer professor Mcgonicle was coming down the hall and I looked up.

"You two what was that loud noise…and Mrs. Knight whatever have you done to your face…and DON'T tell me you tripped again or ran into a wall I won't stand to be lied to."

I gave her a sheepish smile and she sighed not pressing me further.

"Go ahead and go to the infirmary…honestly…what am I going to do with you…"

"Keep me around so you can do all those wonderful lectures you like to get into?"

Professor McGonigall gave me a pointed look and I put up my hands in surrender.

"Right away ma'am…"

"And Mrs. Granger…if you would…escort Mrs. Knight…she has a knack of running off and not getting proper treatment." I guffawed and Hermione gave a stronger tug then I thought and I almost ended up falling on my face.

"Not so rough…"

"Well I wouldn't have to be so rough if you would listen to me once in a while!" Hermione turned around so fast I jumped and stopped abruptly. She tugged on my robe sleeves to bring me closer and I was nervous. "Gaile…I know I haven't been the greatest friend…but every time I see you you're getting hurt. What am I supposed to think?"

My shoulders sagged and I had a miserable look on my face as I looked down at my shoes.

"Sometimes….i wish I had been put into Gryffindor…" I only but whispered. But she had heard me. Next thing I knew I was being pulled into the fiercest hug I've ever had and I felt a tear leak out.

"I'm sorry…from now on your not leaving my sight…" I felt warm tears fall onto her shoulder and I was hoping she wouldn't notice but she did. I heard her take a sharp intake of breath and lean back to look at my face. Our faces were really close and she used her sleeve to wipe my tears away. "Even if you're in a different house I'm not going to leave you to deal with this. When I'm not dealing with the boys and my classes I'll be here okay."

I nodded and we walked to the infirmary.

Madam Pomfrey was not happy to see me as always. She tsked when she looked at me and sighed.

"Gaile…come over here dear let me have a look at you."

I walked over and she ran a diagnostic spell and tsked some more. "Dear. Can you please tell me why I always find you not coming here. Madam Pince has told me you like to hide in the library. I gave her a shrug and a sheepish grin and she gave me that look. The look that adults do when they're not happy with your answer. I felt Hermione pinch my arm and I squeaked.

"Ow…"

"You aren't coming to the infirmary when you get bullied!" she almost shrieked.

I flinched and Madam Pomfrey gasped.

"Your being bullied! How long has this been happening."

Hermione piped in and explained to Madam Pomfrey that it's been happening since I've been here.

"And you never told me or any of your professors?"

I looked at both of them and shrugged.

"It's not like it would have helped and I've been hit my whole life so nothing's changed there." Ffffffff- I shouldn't have said that…the looks of horror on their faces made me realize I'm not getting out of this one.

"That's it. I am talking to professor McGonigall about this you will not be going back to your home this summer we'll find you different arrangements but before that I would like to ask you Mrs. Granger to help Mrs. Knight…Anymore strain on her beaten body could ultimately kill her."

I looked at them and sighed as I tried to get up.

"Where do you think you're going? We're not done yet."

I sat down and Madam Pomfrey told me to take off my robes and shirt. I looked over at Hermione and then looked back at the nurse.

"Ma'am….I'd rather not let her see…" Madam Pomfrey nodded and told Hermione to wait outside. Much to Hermione's protest. I slowly let my shirt fall off my shoulders and let Madam Pomfrey look. I had small scars on my shoulders and all the way down my arms. They aren't really seen since my dad did a very good job of never leaving too much of a mark on me. She came around after seeing my front in complete shock and when she got to my back I heard her gasp. They're must have been scars from the belt hits I received I wasn't sure. There was some new bruising from when I was home on my sides and then the ones that the slytherins did.

I've never seen Madam Pomfrey so speechless and I sighed.

"Mrs. Knight…I don't know what to say but that you are not allowed to let yourself be bullied…do you understand me."

I gave her a look.

"I know it's hard not to. But you have to promise to either run away or I may just have to get you a teacher to watch a close eye on you. You can't keep having this happen to you."

I nodded and she let me put my shirt back on after healing my bruises. I picked up my robe and she patted me on the back.

"You know Mrs. Knight. I don't think Mrs. Granger will let you out of her sight anymore."

I smiled a little. "Of course not Ma'am…she's finally starting to see me."

"Don't let me down Mrs. Knight."

"I won't…not anymore."

So. Hi everyone. I know I haven't updated my other story in a year but I plan on working on the next chapter of it. I'm not sure how long i'll be to doing that since I want to at least write enough to where it won't be a year again before my next chapter. I'm sorry about that. This story has been going around in my head ever since I started liking the thought of Hermione not dating Ron. I've always hated his character lol. So please review if you would like. Not much else to say. xP I hope you don't all dislike me now that Full moon is kind of sitting there unfinished. I'll get back into it.
