TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!!
The first part written in italics is Hermione's nightmare, it contains mentions of her torture from Bellatrix as well as a photo of her "mudblood" scar
Hermione Pov:
"I killed Sirius Black, I killed Sirius Black"
"Hahaaaaa"
"How dare you defy your master"
"I want to have a little talk with this one, girl to girl!"
"That sword is meant to be in my vault at Gringotts, how did you get it? Did you and your friends take it from my vault?"
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
As Bellatrix's face swarms in and out of my vision, I can't help but scream in pain, as I feel her knife rip through my skin once again
"No! No get off me" hands wrap around my arms, and voices scream my name, "Get off me please, please, I didn't take anything, I wasn't in your vault. AHHHH NO PLEASE"
"HERMIONE" shooting up with another scream ready on my lips, I don't recognize the room I'm in and, scooting till my back is against the headboard of the bed, I look around wildly, and realize that I cannot see Teddy, but instead, a blonde figure sits in front of me, hands outstretched as if approaching a fearful animal.
"Oh please Malfoy, I'm not a child, I don't need to be mollycoddled" getting up from my bed, I notice that I am still in my robes from the night before, whereas he is in long, plaid black and green pajama pants, and shirtless, his hair messy and tousled.
"Me? Care about you, *scoff* yeah right Granger I came to tell you to wake up because McGonagal wants to talk to you about last night. Who knows, if I'm lucky then I might get a different partner for Head Girl, I mean, assaulting a teacher, shame on you" there was no regret or remorse in his eyes, only amusement.
But at that moment I truly remember what I had done, and my heart shattered, no doubt I would be sent home from Hogwarts but what if he pressed charges? What if they took Teddy from me?
"Wait, Teddy? Where is Teddy? What did you do to him Malfoy?" My hand going to my holster, to find my wand gone, I advance on him, prepared to punch him harder than I did in third year.
"Relax Granger, little Tonks is with Thistle, I called her to pick him up once I realized you were having a nightmare. I didn't want him being woken up" ummmmmm what?
"You? Draco Malfoy? Caring about someone else, let alone a halfbreed and a mudblood?" low blow, I know, but he kinda deserved it, besides, it's nothing he hasn't told me a million times over
"DONT--don't say that word, it's disgusting and vile. And I've already told you, Granger, atoning remember?" his signature smirk playing on his features suddenly died, instead replaced with a mask of seriousness, " Were you- did she- agh I mean, your nightmare? Were you there again? In Malfoy Mannor, with my aunt-Bellatrix?" his voice almost a whisper now, I could see his regret, although whether it was for asking the question or for not stopping the event in the first place, I'll never know
"Every night. To be honest, I think I'd know that room better than you by now" a small chuckle escaped at my attempt at humor, my right hand involuntarily going up to my left forearm to shield my scar.
"Can I- can I see it?" looking up expecting to find humor, I see nothing but a steely mask void of all emotions, so ever so slowly, I lift my sleeve to reveal my scar, still as fresh as when I got it,
