After the Quintet escaped from Malfoy Manor, they stayed Bill and Fleur's cottage for a few days with Luna, Griphook and Olivander. Harry was at Dobby's grave while Hermione, Ron and Linda were in the dining room sitting at the table. Jacob however....... was still in the guest room that he and Hermione were staying in.
"How long has he been in there?" Ron asked.
"Three days" Hermione sighed "He hardly ever comes out. He won't talk to me even when I come in the room"
Hermione looked at the door of the guest room, hoping her Fiancé would come out soon.
"It's really strange, I've never seen Jacob act the way he did at Malfoy Manor" Linda said.
"That wasn't Jacob" Hermione said "Something took control of him. I know because he casted the killing curse. The Jacob I know would never do that"
"Do think this has something to do with that Prophecy?" Linda asked. "The one that said that he would be tempted by darkness?"
"Yeah, Trelawney said something about that about that too" Ron said."If had to guess, seeing you being tortured must've triggered it Hermione"
"I think you're right Ron" Hermione said "I just hope I can try to talk some sense into him."
______________________________________While the others were in the living room, Jacob was in the guest room thinking about what happened at Malfoy Manor.
He remembered everything that had happened there. From Hermione being tortured to him going off and killing most of the Death Eaters there. He started having flashbacks to when Bellatrix tortured Hermione and all he could think about was her crying and screaming.
After that something had snapped within him and he felt like he wasn't in control of what he was doing and killed almost every Death Eater in sight.
"What have I done?" Jacob said as he barried his face into his hands.
Just then there was a slight knock on the door.
"Jacob, It's Hermione" Hermione said on the otherside of the door. "Can I come in please?"
"Yeah" He said as Hermione entered the room and closed the door behind her.
"Jacob, can we please talk?" Hermione asked.
"There's nothing to talk about" Jacob said.
"Jacob please don't shut me out. Let me help you" Hermione said sitting next to Jacob on the bed.
"What do want me to say Hermione!?" Jacob asked "I killed a bunch of Death Eaters out of rage! I casted the killing curse on one of them! I'm no better then You-Know-Who!"
"Yes you are!" Hermione said as she got on her knees in front of Jacob so she could look straight into his green eyes. "When You-Know-Who kills someone he does it on purpose and without any remose. But the fact that you are feeling guilty about what happened proves that you are better than him. Besides you weren't even in control when you killed those Death Eaters, the Darkness took hold of you and you overcame it"
