Chapter 15

Hermione woke up to the door of her room opening and shutting. The spot next to her in the bed was empty and cold.

"Draco?" she called out into the room.

A hiccup sounded through the room. "Yeah?" he repied.

"Where were you?" she asked. A large thud echoed through the room along with a few colorful swears. Hermione winced at the noise. "You okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, just can't see… Where is the bed?" he asked putting his hands out.

Hermione scooted to Draco's side of the bed and stood. She held out her hands. "Just keep walking and find my hands."

Draco stumbled forwards and found her hands. He yanked on them and pulled her forward into his arms. After a few tries he found her mouth and kissed it tenderly. She winced at the bruising and noticed the distinct smell of alchohol on his breath.

"Draco? Were you drinking?" she asked.

"Yeah. Blasie and Theo ambushed me and took me to a strip joint for my bachelor party. Do you mind?" he asked.

She contemplated it for a bit. "No, you haven't seen your friends a lot anymore. You deserved it. With everything you've done for me, you deserved a break."

"You deserve one too. You're the one that's going through everything. You should go out too." He said.

Hermione thought a bit. It would be nice to get out, have fun again. The only fun I've been having is with Draco… She looked over at him. But that was well worth it.

"What's going through that dirty mind of yours Granger?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing..." she giggled. "Here, lets get you out of those clothes and into this bed."

She helped him out of his clothes until he had nothing but his boxers on. She pulled him under the covers and he pulled her close. She smiled and sighed contently. "This is the life."

Draco slid down the bed until he was staring at Hermione's stomach. He gave it a gental kiss and slid back up. "It really is." He smiled at her. She returned it and snuggled closer. She sighed and fell asleep in his arms.

Hermione was running.

Her breath was labored as she ran through the Forbidden Forest. She dodged trees and jumped over the large roots that grew along the forest floor.

A curse flew past her head and she let out a yelp. She stumbled and tripped, falling face first into the hard dirt. She hopped back up and ignored the sting in her cheeks and the pain in her arm. She glanced over her shoulder to be met with a farmiliar face.

"Draco." She said. She glanced over his shoulder into the woods. "We have to go. There is someone out here."

"Okay, let's go." He grabbed her hand and started pulling her through the woods.

Another curse flew by and hit a tree. Draco changed paths and ran to the left, pulling Hermione with him. They stopped for a second, catching their breaths and looking around for their attacker.

Out of the corner of her eye, Hermione saw a green light coming her way. Her eyes widened as her life flashed before her. She closed her eyes and then,

She was pushed to the ground.

She opened her eyes and sat up. Draco lay in a crumpled heap where she was standing.

"NO!" she screamed. "Draco!" she crawled to his lifeless body and turned him over. His face was paling and his eyes were open and blank, staring at nothing.

Tears dripped down her face and splattered on his cheek. She let out a strangled cry and gripped the front of his shirt.

The snap of a twig echoed through the forest, but it went unheard by the weeping girl. The persuer crept up behind her and grabbed her from behind. She flailed and smashed her elbow into the man's face.

He slammed her up against a tree and pinned her there with his body. She sobbed when she opened her eyes.

"Now love, you didn't need him. You have me." Covurn said seductivly.

"Please, just let me go." She choked out.

"No… I'm going to have alittle fun before I end you." He placed a kiss on her neck.

"Please! Just kill me now!" she screamed. He unbuttoned her jeans and slid them, along with her underware, down. He undid his belt and slid down his trousers and his boxers until his manhood was showing completely. "PLEASE! Just KILL me!" she cried.

The slap echoed through the bare forest and Hermione fell silent. He rammed his dick harshly into her causing her to scream out in pain, because of the rough wood of the tree that scratched her arse, and because of the size of him and how it stretched her.

He pulled out and rammed into her again, causing her to scream once more. The wood tore open her flesh and blood dripped down the backs of her legs.

Hermione prayed for the blackness. She prayed that she would pass out and not have to deal with this. Unfortunatly, God, or whoever was up there, didn't hear her, and she was awake, crying and screaming for the entire thing.

Hermione woke up screaming.

The lights flashed on in her room and hands gripped her shoulders. Hermione paniked and flailed her arms, hoping to hit whoever had her.

"Hermione!" Draco yelled. She stopped her struggle and looked at him. She began to cry and flung herself at him.

She hooked her arms around his neck and burried her head in the crook of his neck.

Draco held her close. "Hermione, are you okay?" he whispered.

She sniffled and shook her head.

"Was it a nighmare?" he asked her.

She nodded.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She shook her head.

"Do you want to go back to sleep?"

"No." she croaked.

"Do you want to go downstairs?"

"Sure." She sniffled.

He placed one arm on the small of her back and the other under her knees and held her to his chest. He carried her down the stairs and set her on the couch. He started the fireplace and went into the kitchen. He got her a glass of milk and handed it to her. She began to sip it while staring into the flames.

Draco sat down next to her and draped his arm over the back of the couch. She seemed uneffected by his presence. "Hermione…" he started. She didn't even look at him. She just stared into the flames.

Draco sighed and became impatient. "Hermione?" He waved a hand infront of her face. She slowly turned to look at him. "You need to tell me what happened. I've never seen you like this."

She sighed and placed her empty cup on the coffee table and looked at the fire once more. "I was in the Forbidden Forest, and I was running." She began. "I tripped and when I got back up, you were there. You grabbed me and we started running. When we stopped to take a breather, our chaser shot an Avada at us, and you pushed me out of the way. And you died.

Then he came up behind me and shoved me against a tree." She stiffled a sob. "It was covurn. And then he raped me. And I prayed that I would pass out, but it never came. I was awake for the entire thing. And then I woke up somewhere in the middle."

Draco pulled her into his arms and stroked her hair, trying to calm some of the frizz that occurred over the night. "Shh." He tried to calm her as she blubbered. "Shh. It's okay, it was only a dream. He can't hurt you anymore. You won't ever see him again. You don't need to worry. I'm here."

Hermione sniffled and looked up at him. "Can we be sure about that? He could be watching me when I'm out. What will happen when I'm not here at Hogwarts? "

"You will be with me. And I won't let anything happen to you ever." He said gripping her shoulders.

She looked up at him, her hair shrouding her face. "I will?"

"You will." He brushed the hair beind her ear. "Forever."

"Forever?"

"Forever," he confirmed, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

She sighed and pulled herslef into his arms. "Forever is a long time you know."

"I know." He chuckled. "I know." He storked her arm. "Get some sleep Hermione. I've been noticin the bags under your eyes."

She looked up at him. "Really?"

"Mhm. Now go sleep. You deserve it, and the baby needs it."

She smiled at the thought of Draco caring about the baby. She snuggled closer and fell asleep, her head filled with only dreams of their happy family. No nightmares.
