The Consequence Of Power

The Room Of Requierment

Finally bliss. No more worrying or waiting for the day she would be swept off her feet by her prince charming. She waited so long it seemed for Draco to be back for her, it almost didn't seem real, nothing seemed real anymore, all the pain and suffering she had been through. It couldn't be real. Those were her thoughts as she made her way to the Great Hall. it was still quite early so no one was really in there but Hermione was.
"Hermione, great you are still here" Rhiannon scooted next to Hermione at the table "Yes I was waiting for you, now tell me everything, why is Draco back?" Hermione moved closer to her "Well, I fell asleep in Severus's office-"
"Why were you in Severus's office" Hermione cut her off "I...I was just griefing of course, anyway, I fell asleep in there and I had a dream or vision that Draco was back like I saw him walking to the school, so I woke up and ran to the doors and there he was" 
"So why were you two holding hands huh" Hermione smiled, raising her eyebrow
"Well, we might of confessed our love to each other and it ended with us...you know" Hermione dropped her jaw "You mean, you and Malfoy did it, as in "it", no way"
"I know right, Hermione it was amazing, it was a little unhygienic because we were in the dungeons but for whom I did it with, it was worth it, it was perfect"
"Well, I am proud of you, really, now it is mine and Ron's turn hopefully" Hermione laughed as she bit into a muffin "Oh, I need you to help me take Draco some food and other stuff for him to hide in the dungeons"
"That is where you are hiding him? why not the Room Of Requirement?" Hermione said with her mouth full of food "What's that?"
"It's a secret room in the castle that only shows itself when needed, like if you are in danger it will show itself" She then remembered the room from last night, the room that protected her from those death eaters. "There is more I need to tell you. When I was in Severus's office I found this" She dropped the diary on the desk, Hermione looked at it "Diary of Severus Snape? what about it? It's just a diary" Hermione said, uninterested "Just read the first page" Hermione brushed off her hands and grabbed it, opening the diary and started to read, her eyes squinted as she read "No way, Severus knew way before you attended Hogwarts?!!"
"Yeah, he even knew my mother, she was just like me Hermione, she had my abilities" As Hermione was reading more, Rhiannon started to grab some food, Hermione peeked over and saw blood drip from her arm"Rhiannon you're bleeding"
She shot her head toward her arm, holding her robe sleeve against it "Oh, I must have cut my arm, it's nothing" She tried to distract Hermione from asking further "Let me see your arm Rhiannon" Hermione knew it wasn't just a cut "Hermione I swear, it's nothing" She laughed it off "Then show me your arm if it is nothing, I simply don't believe you" Hermione grabbed her arm, lifting her sleeve and saw the carving in her arm "Rhiannon, who did this to you?"
"I told myself I wouldn't get anyone involved" Rhiannon pulled her sleeve down
"Im not just anyone, im your best friend, tell me how this happened"
"I wasn't fully honest about how I was in Severus's office. I saw the patronus again, so I followed it. It led me to his office, I heard people inside, it was Lucius and other death eaters. I was stupid and tried to eavesdrop on what they were doing until I heard they were looking for that diary so I tried to grab it without them noticing and they noticed. That is where this came from, from them." Hermione's eyes became watery "Oh Rhiannon, I'm sorry you had to go through that, me and you will always be tortured for our blood status, it simply isn't fair"
"It is fine though, I saved the diary and I came across that room you told me, it showed itself to me when I was being chased, do you really think I could hide Draco there?"
"I suppose it could work, we could try". She made a plate for Draco, giving him exactly what he wanted, coffee, fruit, and three waffles to be exact. Hermione rushed to grab some extra blankets and pillows. They walked to the dungeons where Draco was. Their hands were full of things. They walked up to the door
"Draco open up, it's me and Hermione" She shouted through the door, the door swung open "That is a lot of stuff, and my food, thank god" He rolled his eyes "Draco, we have an idea, we will move you to the Room Of Requirement"
"The what?" He scrunched his nose "Just follow us, put this on" Rhiannon passed Draco a cloak to hide his hair from others. "What are you ashamed of my beauty? is that it?" Draco smirked "Draco please, I am so sorry I'm covering your beauty, I will make it up to you" She smiled "Yuck, I'm right here" Hermione gagged "You're just jealous Granger that Weasley doesn't have the guts to please a girl"
"Shut it Draco. Rhiannon if he acts like this I will not help"
"Im sorry...Draco please just put the cloak on and please don't be a dick"
"Yes ma'am" He smirked, putting on the cloak. They walked with Draco behind them. They tried their best to avoid crowds of people, even the Professors "Granger and Black, aren't you girls supposed to be in class" Professor McGonagall approached them. Her heart dropped. She was terrified Draco would be caught "And who is that with you and why are you holding all this stuff?"
"Sorry, Professor, it...it's Ron, he's not feeling very well, we were all having a sleepover that's why we have all this stuff, we were just heading to class" Hermione quickly said "Well, Mr. Weasley seems taller....make sure he gets well and all three of you head to class, now" She walked away, Hermione and her gasped from almost being caught "Granger don't you ever call me Ron again, that is just disrespectful" Draco whispered from under the hood "If I didn't, you would have been caught and thrown out of the doors, so you're welcome"
"Yeah yeah, can we hurry this up to the room of whatever it was called, so I can eat and go to bed". They continued their way. The things in her hands were so heavy and tall she could barely see in front of her, then she fell to the ground. "Watch where you are going mud blood" It was Goyle, Draco stepped forward and pushed Goyle away "Watch yourself man" He shouted at Goyle "Draco, is that you?" Goyle tried to peep under the hood "Yes, now be quiet, I need to talk to you" He grabbed Goyle and pulled him into a corner. She stood up, the food she got for Draco was everywhere. "Are you okay Rhiannon, so much for sassy pants eating his food" Hermione giggled "Hermione, he is blowing his cover right now, what could he possibly be saying to Goyle that is so important to get caught"
"Rhiannon, I don't think he cares if it comes to you by the looks of things"
"He should care, Goyle is an idiot, he will definitely tell people Draco is back" She watched as Draco had Goyle pushed up to the wall. She tried to see if they were arguing but it looked like Goyle was nodding his head like he was understanding something or agreeing with what Draco was telling him. As her and Hermione stood there, anxiously waiting for Draco, Goyle and Draco finally walked back over, Goyle stood in front of Rhiannon
"Listen, I am sorry for all the times I bullied you, Draco brought it to my attention that you two are now a thing and I am obligated to be kind to you now" She couldn't believe what he was saying, she looked over at Draco, he had a smirk on his face, the look on his face was a look of damn right you better respect my girl. Draco knew the control he had over people but he never would try and control Rhiannon. He had too much respect for her. That was why he told Goyle because he knew Goyle respected him and would do what Draco said, he knew he could trust Goyle. "Well, I suppose I accept your apology Goyle, thank you" Goyle raised his hand for her to shake, she looked up at Draco for approval that if it was okay and safe for her. He nodded his head, she slowly grabbed his hand and shook it "Great, I will make sure no one else finds out Draco is back" Goyle firmly shook her hand and pulled it away "Okay, we should get going, I need sleep" Draco fixed his hood so it was covering his face again "But what about this mess, your food is all over the ground"
"It is fine, Goyle will clean it since he wasn't watching where he was going, right Goyle?" Goyle just nodded his head "Alright, thank you, Goyle". They finally reached the empty stone wall, it started to bring back memories from last night. She stood in front of the wall, scared and playing the night over and over. She slowly looked down at the ground and saw dry blood dripped all over the floor, her breathing becomes heavy "Are you alright my love" Draco walked up to her, she snapped back into reality and looked up at him "Yes, sorry, I was just thinking"
"Alright Draco, the door is forming, we need to get you inside" Hermione walked over after she manifested for the door to appear, creating a bedroom on the other side for Draco to stay in for the time being. All three of them walked in, revealing a huge beautiful bedroom, with dark green walls, black wood flooring, a huge bed with dark brown bedposts with green drapes and it has only a fireplace to light up the room "Oh my, it is gorgeous in here, I guess you won't be needing these" She stepped in, placing the pillows and blankets on the sofa as she admired the whole room "Well, I tried imagining something up to Malfoy standards, seems like I was on the right path" Hermione crossed her arms "It is my style of the room, way better than at home that is for sure"
"Glad to help Draco, you're welcome" Hermione hinted for a thank you "Thank you, Granger, I need to speak with Rhiannon here, alone, can you give us a few minutes then she is all yours" Hermione looked over at Rhiannon "I swear if you do not come to class I will not help you with your lover boy"
"Yes Hermione, I will only be a few minutes, I will see you in potions" Hermione rolled her eyes and left the room. Draco grabbed her hand and walked her to the sofa, they both sat down "Draco what did you exactly say to Goyle?"
"I told him to not bother you anymore since you're mine, and he didn't fight me about it, he seems different, I trust he will listen because he knows the power I have and if he breaks the promise I simply take care of him"
"Take care of him? As in-"
"No not that, I would just kick his ass, but if he touched you, then yes I will kill him, for you" Draco put his hand on her thigh "I don't want you to kill someone for me Draco, I can handle myself" She giggled, playing with his sleeve "I don't care if you could handle yourself, I would do anything for you Rhiannon, I would fight for you, kill for you, die for you, anything"
"I know you would, that is what scares me Draco, I would be happy if you cared about your well-being as much as you do with mine" She grabbed his hand "I know, but I have nothing to lose anymore, I have lost my family, my home, and my safety, Rhiannon I have risked everything to love you, I will not let the only thing have left go" She felt like crying, she looked at him and felt so guilty for him ruining his life for her. She wanted him to be safe and happy but he really just wanted her. Draco had become blinded by love and so had Rhiannon.
