Because of you, I'll never stray too far from the sidewalk. Because of you, I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt. Because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me. Because of you, I am afraid. ~ Kelly Clarkson
"Draco." Hermione whispered and turned around, stood up, and grabbed her wand. He chuckled an evil chuckle and walked toward her. She raised her wand in defense position.
"You look so gorgeous tonight Hermione." He said as he raised his wand and removed the Glamour charm, revealing her bruises.
"Leave. Now." Hermione said in an aggressive tone with her wand still raised. Draco tisked and took a couple steps toward her.
"Now, is that a way to treat your loving husband." Draco said in a sickly sweet voice. Hermione had to laugh at that.
"Loving? Would you call 'loving' as beating your wife?" Hermione laughed. That blew Draco's fuse. His eyes turned to fire and ran and slapped Hermione across the face. The force caused her to fall over and squeal in pain.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did that hurt the poor mudblood." Draco said as started kicking and slapping Hermione so forceful that she started crying and coughing up blood. He had broken one of her ribs and it punctured her lung. Before she knew it he was pulled off of her and she blacked out.
Once she came to, all Hermione could see was white walls, white, and more white. She noticed something that had St. Mungo's logo on it. Hermione realized where she was, the hospital. She looked to her right and smiled at what she saw, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Luna, and Fred sleeping in chairs. She tried to take a deep breath put was stopped by a sharp pain in her left side. She squinted in pain as everyone one by one started to arouse awake.
"She's awake." Fred croaked and everybody moved to sit by Hermione. Ginny, Ron, and Harry each gave her hug before sitting.
"What happened?' Hermione said, surprised her voice sounded so hoarse. Everyone looked at each other with a worried expression.
"Well, what do you remember?" Ginny said with tears rolling down her cheeks. Hermione thought for a minute and everything came flooding back to her.
"Draco found me by the tree and just starting talking sickly sweet things to me and I said something back. He became furious and started beating me. I felt someone pull him off of me and I blacked out." Hermione finished as she saw Ginny, Luna, Harry, Ron, and Fred were either crying or teary-eyed.
"I was the one that pulled him off." Fred whispered and Hermione hugged him. They were interrupted by a stout nurse coming in the room, giving Hermione some fluid through her IV.
"I'm sorry, but Mrs. Malfoy-" the nurse was interrupted by Fred.
"It's Miss. Granger."
"Um, okay. Miss. Granger, I'm sorry but visiting hours are over. Four of you can stay with her. Oh, and Miss. Granger, your baby is fine. You are now six week's along." the nurse said as she left the room. Everyone turned and looked at a pale Hermione.
"I'm p-pregnant." Hermione said and paled even more. She looked like she was about to pass out again. Luna had to leave so it was just a crying Ginny, a pale Harry, a pale Ron, and a pale Fred.
"Don't worry 'Mione, Malfoy's in the Ministries' holding." Harry said as they all sat down in chairs beside Hermione. Fred's hand was resting on her bed and she grabbed hold of his hand and rubbed comforting circles with her thumb on the back of his hand.

Three weeks later, Hermione came home to the Potter house. She's nine week pregnant and not showing that much yet, but she does feel bloated and has gain weight and is very happy about the baby, even though he or she was Draco's. Fred constantly visited her day and night. Hermione enjoyed his company, he treated her like a person and not an object. He brought her all of her favorite foods, candies, and Weasley pranks to use on Draco. Hermione looked physically better too, she wasn't as thin and sickly pale, didn't have dark circles under her eyes, no bruises, no scratches, no bite marks, no burns, her arm had healed, and no more harm done to her any more. Although she is still having nightmares about him, Fred, Ginny, and Harry are always there for her.
She was alone at the house with Ginny, the kids, and Fred. All three (well, two since Ginny is a house wife) take shift because Harry and Fred both worked. Hermione was reclining on the couch in the family room, reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Ginny was knitting beside her and Fred was playing with the kids. Fred still was infatuated with Hermione just before he found out Draco was abusing her. He was happy for Hermione that she was expecting but he was shocked to find out that that bastard raped her and forced her to get pregnant.
"I'm home!" Harry called from the front doorway. Hermione put the book down and went to give Harry a hug followed by Ginny and the kids.
"Well, I guess I'm going to head back to the Burrow." Fred said and Hermione saw a sad look on his face. Hermione told Ginny something with her eyes and Ginny smiled and nodded her head happily. Hermione followed Fred to the front porch and threw her arms around his neck.
"Thank you so much for all you have done for me." Hermione said in a muffled voice against Fred.
"You welcome 'Mione." Fred said as he hugged her back, then said goodbye and left for the burrow.
