Hermione was glad to be back at the place she considered her home for now. Bill and Charlie just stood next to each other both expecting some type of reaction from her. The events of the past few hours had not seemed to phase their Coco.
"I think I will take a shower then try to get some sleep. "Nite boys!" she said as she walked toward the bathroom.
Hermione made a quick detour around the brothers, she continued down the hallway to the end and the only bathroom in the flat. Throwing her nightgown in with the rest of the dirty clothes in the hamper, Hermione stepped under the shower and sobbed.
A quarter of an hour later Hermione finally turned off the water and got out of the shower toweling off she realized she had forgotten to bring a fresh set of night clothes into the bathroom with her. The idea of running naked to her room was not unrealistic but she knew the minute she stepped out of into the hallway naked both Weasley boys would be there to catch her.
Listening to the sounds of the flat, Hermione tried to determine if possibly, her flat mates had gone to sleep. Their snoring was enough to rattle the windows. From the low murmur, she thought maybe they were in the kitchen talking. Hermione quietly called their names to check to see if the coast was clear. Not getting a response, she started to open the door and make a run for it when Charlie walked down the hallway.
"Hermione did you call me?" he asked as he came closer.
"Yes, Charlie I did," Hermione mumbled from behind the almost closed door.
Hermione was blushing; she was naked and talking to Charlie, granted a heavy wooden door stood between them, but the idea made her blush.
"Charlie?" she asked again
Yes Hermione I am still right here," Charlie replied, "what can I do for you?"
"Charlie?" Hermione was having a hard time finding the courage to ask Charlie to retrieve her nigh clothes.
"Coco is something wrong?" Charlie's patience was wearing thin and he was tired.
Hermione, hearing the exasperation in his voice opened the door a little wider, "Charlie could you bring me a nightgown and robe? I forgot to bring them…they are in my room anything would be fine."
Charlie was back on a moment and Hermione thanked him as he handed her a bundle of chocolate brown silk.
The bundle was a beautiful nightgown. Hermione recognized from the earlier shopping trip. The material shimmered in the light and flowed over her as she lowered the sheath over her head. A soft moan escaped from Hermione's lips as the cool material covered her body. Anything that felt this wonderful had to be a sin.
Opening the bathroom door Hermione saw that Charlie was still there leaning against the wall obviously waiting for her.
"Do I need a guard escort to by bedroom?" Hermione laughingly asked.
Charlie nodded taking her hand, "You look delicious Coco, but to answer you question, yes."
Hermione looked puzzled and then Charlie continued, "Bill and I have not had a chance to test the flat ward properly. We are concerned and Harry has not found Sebastian yet so …"
Hermione smiled, "Still saving your damsel in distress?"
Charlie returned her smile, "Always. Weasley rule #7!"
Hermione looked perplexed but did not say anything until they were at her bedroom door.
"Is your damsel rescuing a full service operation? For example, does the damsel rescue service include getting rid of bugs?" her voice full of concern.
Charlie looked at her, "Sure I guess so…"
Hermione scooted behind him and then his eyes followed to were she pointed. "There do you see it?" she whispered into his ear. Charlie saw in the corner next to door to the living room was a black hairy spider.
"Are you telling me that you, Hermione "Coco" Granger, will stand up to the evilest of dark wizards but a tiny little bug scares you?" Charlie was howling with laughter.
Hermione only whimpered, "Okay Coco, lets get you tucked in then I come back and slay the big bad itty bitty spider."
Hermione slapped his forearm as she push the door of her bedroom open. Charlie was right behind her and her abrupt stop made him slam into her. Hermione turned and looked at Charlie, "What is going on…why is your older brother in my bed?"
Charlie grinned, "Well waiting for you Coco of course."
Hermione crossed her arms across her chest and eyed the two men very carefully. First studying Bill and then Charlie, turning back to observe Bill "What are you two up to?" she finally asked.
Charlie winked at Bill then looked at Hermione, "You mean you did not want a threesome?"
Hermione blushed again and let out a small yelp, "Charlie!"
Bill pulled back the covers and patted the pillows next to him. "When you are ready Coco," he purred.
Hermione's face was almost as red as the famous Weasley hair she was speechless.
Charlie pushed her towards the bed. Hermione resisted moving closer, softly she whispered, "I do not think I can…"
Bill let out a laugh that filled the room, "Hermione we are kidding, not that you are not damn sexy in that negligee…but truthfully we just want to keep you safe."
Hermione let out the breath she had been holding.
Bill continued, "How about a strictly platonic slumber party? Okay?"
Hermione look greatly relieved.
"Okay…I can do that…gentlemen" Feeling a little more self assured she twirled as she asked, "do you like Charlie's taste in nightgown?"
Bill and Charlie let out low wolf whistles that made Hermione giggle. Charlie gently pushed Hermione towards the bed, "Come on woman I need by beauty sleep! Get in bed already!"
Hermione snuggled under the covers next to Bill while Charlie slid in on her other side. Hermione smiled, "I do feel very safe …thank you." She thought for minute then with all of the innocence she could fake, "Do I get a bedtime story boys?"
Bill turned on to his side to face her putting his arm across her waist, "I'll tell you a story about a beautiful witch who spent the night in bed with two handsome wizards and actually slept."
Hermione sighed, "That sounds like a horror story not a bedtime story." As the word story left her lips, Charlie started snoring. Hermione looked at Bill, "How does he do that? Does anything stop him from sleeping?"
Bill shook his head and pulled her closer to him, "Eating…I have never seen him fall asleep while eating."
Hermione gave chuckle and snuggled even closer to Bill putting her head on his shoulder, "Thank you for everything, for being my knight in shining armor, for being my friend. I do not think I would have survived this far without your support."
Bill kissed the top of her head, "That's me all around great wizard." He looked down at her losing himself in her eyes, "It is my honor."
Bill whispered "Nox" and the lights went out.
Hermione woke up as the sunlight streamed through the window. Bill's arm had shifted downward and his hand was on her hip. Charlie having shifted closer during the night was spooning against her with his hand folded under head. He looked angelic.
Hermione watched both men sleep. The difference between the brothers was obvious in the way they slept. Charlie quietly with a peaceful countenance about him, Bill on the other hand on his back one arm behind his head the other cupping her hip was displayed a confident almost arrogant attitude.
Hermione slipped from between the sleeping guards, the reason she awoke had become more urgent. Crawling to the foot of the bed Hermione gave an involuntary shutter when she spied the hairy spider from the hallway now in the bedroom corner.
Charlie had promised!
Hermione made as little noise as possible as she left the bedroom and carefully closed the bathroom door.
Hoping the sound of the running water as she washed her hands did not wake up the sleepers; Hermione dried her hands and turned to open the door. The first thing to register was that the spider had followed her into the bathroom. Watching the spider transform into a man took longer for Hermione to process.
Before she could open the bathroom door, Sebastian had his wand pointed at her. Hermione screamed as the stunning spell hit her.
Hermione realized that somehow, she was lying on the cold tile floor of the bathroom and her beautiful gown was in shreds around her. She could not move but she felt everything.
Kneeling between her prone legs, Sebastian alternated bites and scratches with licks and sloppy kisses. Hermione stared at the door screaming in her mind for Bill and Charlie. The paralysis kept her from fight her way out of this hell.
Blinking back tears, Hermione concentrated on trying to call Bill. She needed him to wake up and rescue her. As Sebastian continued his assault, Hermione could sense the minutest control begin to return. She tried to scream but only a whisper came out. She could only lie helpless as Sebastian tore her flesh apart.
Hermione heard the muffled footsteps as they approached the bathroom door. Once again, she tried to scream to warn them but only a whisper escaped.
Bill knocked and slightly opened the door still half-asleep, "Coco, you okay? Come back to be…"
Sebastian was quicker. Bill realized too late and was hurling across to the far wall of the bathroom. Sebastian closed the door.
Bill firmly attached to the wall could not move and his wand was on the nightstand next to Hermione's bed. Bill struggled against the binding hex he was desperate to reach Hermione. He wanted to rip this animal limb from limb. Helplessness overwhelmed Bill he needed to stop what was happening. Hermione's legs were spread so far apart he was sure something would give and break.
Hermione was looking at Bill the terror in her eyes was killing him. Bill focused, he needed to stop this wizard, and he assumed it must be Sebastian. He had to stop the monster from hurting Hermione. Bill's mind raced how could he force Sebastian to stop. He had to keep the wizard from raping his Coco.
His Coco? His Coco that was the answer.
Bill turned his focus on Hermione willing himself to speak as calmly as possible. "I, William Weasley claim you, Hermione Granger to be my betrothed, to be mine and mine alone."
Bill's heart as pleading in his head he screamed 'Please understand Hermione, please agree'. Bill knew it would work if Hermione understood and agreed.
Hermione was shaking, Sebastian was positioning himself to ram into her. She heard Bill he was saying something that sounded like an oath he was looking at her it seemed as if he was begging to understand.
Hermione whispered her reply, "I, Hermione Granger, declare you William Weasley to be my betrothed. I am to be yours and yours alone."
The room crackled with magical currents. The hairs on Hermione's body were standing on end. As Sebastian, who was oblivious to his surrounding now that he had is desire, reached his hand to open her even further he froze. Sebastian's entire body stiffened and he screamed in agony as his body rose up and slammed against the door.
Bill felt the binding spell dispel and he slumped down to the cold floor tile. He crawled to Hermione few feet away, her body covered in her own blood and her breathing was very shallow.
Bill's mind wanted to clutch his Coco to himself but his body was still sluggish. Touching her hand Bill lowered his lips to her ear, "Hang on Coco…stay awake…please Coco be strong for me…"
Bill heard the yell before realized it was his voice. Keeping an eye on the motionless Sebastian, Bill pleaded again, "Coco, please I need you to stay with me…"
Hermione turned her head toward Bill and with great effort, she whispered, "He is an animagus…a spider…be careful…" with that she passed out.
Bill's heart ripped, "No!"
