Here's chapter 5.

Thank you for your reviews :D :D

After Hermione had calmed down she had agreed to go back to class.

As they walked in the door Draco sought out Pansy and walked over to her.

"Pansy will you and Blaise swap seats with me and Hermione?" He asked, looking pointedly at Ron so she'd know why.

"Yeah of course." She said, as she and Blaise gathered up there things to move.

"Thanks I owe you." He said, smiling.

"Yeah yeah yeah." She rolled her eyes, as they walked off.

"Thank you Draco." Hermione said softly, as she sat down where Blaise was moments before.

"You don't have to thank me Mya." He whispered, wrapping his arm around her waist.

The classes passed uneventfully after that, up until Defense Against the Dark Arts.

As they walked into the classroom the noticed that Professor Klaus hadn't come in yet.

Hermione sat as far away from Ron as she could, as Draco sat his stool so she couldn't see him even if she looked.

Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared in the classroom, it faded nearly as fast as it came, except Professor Klaus stood in it's place.

"Today students you will learn the spell of Dolor Animi. This is not a spell that the other Professors wish me to teach you, but it's my class and I'll teach as I wish. Who can tell me what this spell does?" He spoke in his thick Romanian accent.

Everyone in the class room looked to Hermione expecting her hand to shoot in the air, but she looked like she wasn't even paying attention.

"Miss Granger." The Professor said gruffly.

"Yes Professor?" Hermione said softly.

"Can you tell me what the spell Dolor Animi means?" He asked, as everyone expected her to answer instantly.

"No sir.. I don't know." She said, looking down.

Ignoring the shocked stares of the students the professor continued on. "It is a spell that makes your enemy think they are in pain, it is in a way, the legal version of the He let his words sink in before he continued.

"Now I would like to have student come up here so I can show you what this spell does." He looked around the room, before winking at Hermione.

"Mister Weasley please come up here." He smirked, as Ron fearfully made his way to the front of the class.

"Now Mister Weasley, this is Not going to actually hurt. But it will make your brain think it does. I'm sure you're man enough to take it." He said, and Ron nodded.

After he put a silencing charm on the room so no other professor could hear it before pointing his wand at Ron.
"Dolor Animi!" He yelled, and Ron fell to his knees screaming like a little girl.

Draco couldn't keep the smile off of his face as he watched, and Hermione wasn't smiling but he could see the happiness she was trying to fight off in her eyes.

"You can't deny this makes you happy." Draco whispered in her ear.

"It does. I feel evil." She giggled slightly.

After the professor removed the spell from Ron he has tears streaming down his face, and was blushing profusely.

Draco and all of the Slytherins broke into applause, earning a glare from Ron.

"I really like Professor Klaus." Draco whispered, and she smiled, nodding.

Soon after class had ended, and the only class left of the day was Astrology but that class was after the free period and supper because it had to be at night.

"Do you want to go out to the lake with Blaise, Teddy and I?" Pansy asked as she walked up to Draco and Hermione.

Draco looked at Hermione before he answered, with her nod he told Pansy that they would.

As they walked outside Hermione ignored the glares she received from everyone they passed.

Draco's arm was firmly around her waist the entire time out there, not caring about rumors that got started.

"Hermione!" She heard her name yelled from behind them. She'd know that voice anywhere, it was a voice she'd heard often for the last 6 years.

"What Harry?" She asked, slowly turning towards him, her eyes downcast.

"What are you doing with this prick Hermione? Why would you let him touch you?" He was screaming at her, and Draco's arm was tightening around her considerably.

"Because he's my friend Harry." She said, glaring slightly.

"No he's not. I'm your friend Hermione!" He yelled, stepping closer.

"My friend? You couldn't even stand by me when I said I got raped you had to run off after you're little wannabe girlfriend! Draco was there for me from the start. You chose your friends Harry, and now I've chose mine." Her voice was rising slowly, and by the end she was bordering on yelling.

"Oh I get it Hermione, you screwed Ron and left him and told Malfoy he raped you so he'd give you a pity fuck! You're such a whore!"

Two fists suddenly connected with his head, one from his right and one straight on.

Teddy and Draco both stood over him as he clutched his nose in pain.

"You talk about Hermione like that again, it'll be way worse then that." Draco growled.

Harry glared up at them, spitting blood from his mouth as he stood back up.

"One day you'll wanna be my friend again. And when you do I won't be there." He said and she scoffed.

"I think I'll survive, go back to your slut and her rapist brother." She spat as she turned and walked off towards the lake angrily.

"Hermione that. Was. Great!" Teddy yelled as he walked up to her, shaking her hand.

She laughed slightly. "That felt good!" She said, as everyone hugged her and patted her on the back.

"You are officially awesome in my book." Pansy laughed, as they sat down by the waters edge.

As Hermione stared down at her reflection her smile left, she stared at her hair, remembering Ron running his fingers through it when he raped her. She shuddered slightly, closing her eyes tight.

"You okay Mya?" Draco asked, looking at her worriedly.

"Yes, um Pansy tonight after supper can we talk privately?" She asked, looking up at the raven haired girl.

"Of course." Pansy smiled, although slightly confused.

"We'll have supper in our common room tonight, all of you can come, and while supper is being made you can talk." Draco said, laying back in the grass yawning.

"Sounds good to me." Pansy said, as everyone else agreed.

The hours passed quickly as the group of friends chatted, and before they knew it they were walking back up to Draco and Hermione's common room.

"So what was it you wanted to talk about?" Pansy asked, as she walked into Hermione's room.

"I was wondering if you knew any hair charms? I'm really tired of this frizzy mess." Hermione said, tugging gently on her hair.

"Yes I do, but why did this need to be a private conversation?" Pansy asked.

"Cause another reason is when He.. Did that, he ran his fingers through my hair, and pulled it a lot and it really brings back bad memories, and I knew if I told Draco he'd probably get all worked up and mad at Ron again." Hermione mumbled, as Pansy nodded in understanding.

"Smart move, he definitely would have. Now, let's see which charm to used on your hair? Hmmmm." Pansy tapped her wand against her chin for a second, thinking.

"Aha! I know just the one! Mollis Ut At!" She waved her wand in an up and down motion, and Hermione felt a cool winter breeze wash over her face.

"Oh Hermione! You look gorgeous!" Pansy exclaimed, looking excited.

"Well you were gorgeous before, but you can't deny your hair was frizzy." She giggled slightly, as she guided Hermione to a mirror.

Hermione gasped as she stared at her reflection, her hair was no longer kinky, frizzy curls. But luscious, loose, smooth curls. Her hair had gained at least three inches, and looked two shades lighter since it wasn't so tangled.

"Oh thank you Pansy! I love it." She quickly turned around and hugged the girl, smiling.

"It was no problem Hermione." She said, hugging the girl back.

As they walked back out of the room Hermione noticed Blaise and Theo's jaws dropping. She smirked slightly, but waited for Draco to turn and see her.

Hermione noticed he was writing a letter to someone, and he sent it off with his Eagle Owl that he must've called down while she was in her room.

As he saw Pansy out of the corner of his eye he turned.

"So what was the private discussion abo-Holy shit." His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped.

"Her-H-Hermione?" He asked, incredulously.

"Do you like it?" She asked, biting her lip.

"Y-Yes." He stuttered, walking up to her and gently running his fingers through it.

She expected herself to flinch subconsciously at the familiar move, but found herself leaning into his touch.

"Careful Draco, you'll drool on her new hair." Blaise laughed, as Draco flipped him off jokingly.

Hermione giggled, as she looked to see what was for dinner.

"Ah ah ah, it's not done yet!" Draco said, pushing her to go sit on the couch.

Hermione rolled her eyes, but did so.

"Dude you've got it bad." Teddy whispered to Draco, smirking.

"Is it that obvious?" Draco asked, not showing his embarrassment.

"Uh duh." Teddy laughed.

"Well I'm not saying anything yet, it's too soon." He said, and Teddy nodded in agreement.

"But don't wait too long D, I think she feels the same way." Teddy said, patting his friend on the back before going to sit on the couch next to Blaise.

"Dinner is served." Draco said, as he revealed a heaping platter of spaghetti and meatballs.

"Ooh I love spaghetti!" Hermione smiled excitedly.

After transfiguring some extra chairs they all sat down to enjoy their meal.

That night Draco waited until Hermione fell asleep before grabbing his cloak and walking out of the common room.
He walked down to the 5th corridor, standing behind a statue.

After 15 minutes he saw Ron walk down the hall, a piece of parchment in his hand. The piece of parchment Draco had sent him earlier, pretending to be a girl that really liked Ron.

Draco smirked, pulling up his hood to cover his face as he quietly walked out behind him.

"Astoria?" Ron called out, his voice laced with lust.

"Not tonight ginger." Draco whispered, before he punched Ron as hard as he could.

"What the fuck? Who are you?" Ron whisper yelled, clutching his head in pain on the floor.

As he moved to get up Draco sent a powerful kick to his ribs causing him to cry out in pain.

He continued to beat him mercilessly until Ron had passed out on the floor.

"That's for Hermione you fucking bastard." Draco growled, as he stood up and delivered one more kick to his head.

After that he slowly walked back to his common room, feeling much much better.

The next day after lots of begging and pleading Draco convinced Hermione to come down to breakfast with him.

As they walked into the Great Hall, every head turned. Hermione ignored the whispers as her eyes slid over the Gryffindor table, her eyes widening as she saw the bruises on Rons face.

She looked over at Draco, and saw he was smirking triumphantly.

"Did you do that?" She asked, shocked yet happy.

"Nobody touches my friends, and gets away unscathed." He said, grabbing her hand and pulling her to the Slytherin table.

She was surprised by how many accepted her as their own, there were a few that believed she wasn't worthy of being at their table and mouthed their feelings, but with a glare from Draco they didn't say anything more.

The next few days of school passed almost uneventfully, not many people were dumb enough to mess with Hermione after what happened to Ron and Harry.

Hermione would occasionally eat breakfast in the great hall, and always sat with the Slytherins since her house officially hated her.

By that Thursday it had officially been one week since Ron had raped her, and she was shocked at how well she was doing.

She smiled more often, and didn't cry anywhere near as much, and her eyes had a little bit of life in them again.

Part of her wished she could have been born pureblood and put in Slytherin, so she could have been friends with them from the start, and didn't have to deal with Ron. But she really didn't regret her friendships with Harry and Ron, and even Ginny. She hated how they ended, but as she looked around her at all of her Slytherin friends, she knew she was okay.

If there are any mistakes in this I apologize it is 4:30am and I am SO tired.
