2nd March.
It is actually the day that Hermione sees Ron and Ginny for the first time in quite a time. Hermione is sitting in the smallest chair in the sitting room, Draco is sitting in the chair next to her, it is awkward as they wait for the door bell to ring, then suddenly the door bell rings, Hermione looks at Draco nervously and breathes in and closes her eyes then opens them, the first to enter is Blaise who is wearing a black suit, white shirt, black bow and black shoes, then Pansy who is wearing pink blouse with pearls on it, white skirt that goes to her knee and pink heels, then Ron who is wearing a blue suit, white shirt, blue tie and black shoes and then Ginny who is wearing a knee length Emerald green side sleeve dress, with green heals, Hermione gets really excited at the sight at them, she looks at Draco, who smiles. "Blaise, Pansy its great to see you, so introduce me to who you have brought." Draco says happily, he hugs both of them, surprisingly Blaise hugs Hermione as does Pansy. "Wow Hermione you look great." Pansy says happily, Hermione smiles. "Thanks Pansy, I love your blouse." Hermione replies back, Pansy smiles. "Pansy was wrong, you look amazing." Blaise says with a smile. "Thank you Blaise." Hermione says with a smile. "So anyway, let me introduce you to Ron." Pansy says proudly, she has a big smile on her face, Ron walks forward, he shakes Draco and Blaise's hand, then he walks over to Hermione. "Hey 'Mione." Ron says with a smile, Hermione smiles and hugs Ron, they hug for a couple of minutes, Hermione looks around at Pansy who is Crying and smiling, Hermione and Ron stop hugging. "And let me introduce Ginevra." Blaise says happily, Draco gives Ginny a hug, Pansy also gives her a hug, then Ginny walks over to Hermione, who starts to cry, Ginny smiles and they hug. A couple of hours later they are all sitting down, by their soon to be spouses, Hermione by Blaise, Draco by Ginny and Ron by Pansy, they all look happy, it is about time for them all to go, but are having a goodbye talk, Hermione gets up to get a drink, Ginny follows her out, but when she turns the corner she is faced with the sight of Hermione getting strangled by Lucius Malfoy, Ginny watches in shock as he then pushes her to the ground and hits her and then walks away, Ginny gasps and runs over to Hermione and helps her up, Hermione bursts into tears and Ginny hugs her, Hermione stops crying and they go to the kitchen. "Hermione what is going on here?" Ginny asks angrily. "Are you angry at me?" Hermione asks taking a sip of water, Ginny shakes her head. "No, at him, so what is going on?" Ginny asks. "Its nothing." Hermione says with a sigh. "Sure what I saw was absolutely nothing, how long has it been going on for?" Ginny asks sadly. "Since I started, well 2 months after I started, I ran away for a month after the war, but I was found and sent to the Malfoy's, everything was fine for the first 2 months then things started to happen and I started to get visits from Lucius, things would end with me in agony but I would be fine, just cry for a little while would do it, but then I just stopped crying, things have been the same since, but a while ago things got really bad and only last night I was stabbed, but Draco saved me." Hermione tells Ginny, Ginny gasps. "He raped you?" Ginny asks angrily, Hermione nods. "Oh Hermione, let me ask you this though, did you get pregnant." Ginny asks sadly. "Yes I did, but when Lucius found out, he went mad and about a month later I had a miscarriage." Hermione tells Ginny who gasps again, they both hug. "I can't believe this, does anyone know?" Ginny asks sadly. "Yes, Nacrissa and Draco, I haven't been working for ages since Nacrissa found out, but he hurt me last night, so I was going to kill him, but he saw me and almost killed me instead." Hermione tells Ginny. "So thats why he was hitting you before?" Ginny asks Hermione. "Yes, he told me that I would pay, somehow I know that means somethings are going to happen." Hermione says sadly, just then the door opens and Nacrissa walks in. "Alright girls, just wanted to say that they are leaving now." Nacrissa tells them with a smile, they smile back. "Thank you." Hermione says happily and they both walk out of kitchen and make their way back to the main room, everyone is ready to go, Ginny gets her coat and puts it on. "Only in a week we can see more of each other, then we will talk all the time." Ginny says with a hug, Hermione nods, Blaise kisses Hermione on the cheek, Pansy, Ginny and Ron all hug Hermione, then minutes later they are gone. Hermione is in her room in her pyjamas, she is sitting down on her chair next to the bed, when Draco walks in and sits down. "You and Ginny were in the kitchen for a while." Draco says. "Yeah we were talking, it was girl talk." Hermione says with a smile. "Oh alright then, so how do you think it went?" Draco asks. "I think it went great, Blaise and Pansy have changed a lot, for the good." Hermione says happily. "Yeah they have, they didn't want this, they actually wanted Potter to win, like halfway during the war, Pansy rebelled against some things that were starting to happen, but she was made to stand by the law, Blaise didn't see the point in all of this madness so just did what he was told." Draco explains to Hermione. "How have Ron and Ginny been?" Hermione asks. "Well ron was treated alright, he wasn't beaten and he hasn't been mistreated, Ginny had a rough few months, she was always running away, she would get away for about 2 weeks and then get found, it went of for ages, she was beaten for running away, but it wasn't too much of a beating, just a hard slap round the face, nothing more, eventually she stopped running and asked to see Potter all the time, she wasn't allowed so she would threaten to do something, her Gryffindor side was really with her, she didn't get to see him, but she was allowed to write to him, but that stopped after a couple of weeks, so she just carried on, she hasn't been badly treated, Blaise's family are great, they wouldn't hurt a fly, they didn't join in at the war, they are nice, it wasn't any of them who hit Ginny it was one of the snatchers." Draco Tells Hermione. "Good, I'm glad they have been treated well." Hermione says happily. "Hermione your too kind, you care more about them, then you do about yourself." Draco says with a smile. "Yeah well my life if basically pointless, so why should I care about myself when there are other people in the world." Hermione says with a shrug. "Hermione your life is not pointless, anything but pointless." Draco says kindly, Hermione sighs but smile. "Sorry but I want to get some sleep now." Hermione says with a yawn, Draco smiles. "Of course, night Hermione." Draco says walking out of the door and shutting the door, Hermione gets into bed and starts to slowly fall asleep but is woken up by a noise, she quickly gets up and walks over to the door, when it opens and in walks a Drunk Lucius Malfoy, he walks over to Hermione and grabs her by the hair, pushes her to the bed and starts to undress her, ripping her clothes, Hermione grabs him and tries to pull him off her but he holds on tighter. "You are going to come to this manor every day once you are married to Zambini, you will do as I ask and you will not tell anybody anything, if you are caught, you will lie." Lucius says in a commanding voice. "No." Hermione says angry, Lucius hits her around the face, causing her lip to start to bleed. "You will do as I say, won't you?" Lucius says in a threatening voice, Hermione nods, Lucius then fully undresses her and rapes her, once he is done, he leaves and shuts the door. Hermione gets into another pair of pyjamas and gets into bed.
