Hermione’s POV:

‘And you think I’ve got time for filth like you?’ Pansy snapped.
‘Well I think you’ll be interested in what I want to show you.’ I said putting my hand in the pocket of my robe.
‘Do you think so?’ Pansy asked coldly.
‘Yes I do.’ I said.
‘Have you been sending letters lately?’ I asked.
‘That’s none of your damn business.’ Pansy snapped.
‘I think it is actually.’ I said.
I packed the folded parchment out of my pocket. Pansy looked down at my hand and I showed the folded piece of parchment.
‘Do you think I’ve never seen folded parchment?’ Pansy snapped.
‘I didn’t say you hadn’t seen it already.’ I said.
‘I think this will look very familiar to you.’ I said unfolding the parchment.
When it was unfolded I didn’t show the text that was written on it to Pansy.
‘You’ve send Lucius Malfoy a letter didn’t you?’ I asked.
‘No.’ Pansy said widening her eyes for a split second but then recovered herself.
‘Are you sure about it?’ I asked.
‘Because, as you probably know, Malfoy took me with him to Malfoy Manor and tortured me with the Cruciatus curse.’ I started.
Pansy just looked at the parchment that I was holding.
‘I woke up later in St. Mungo’s after Draco had rescued me together with my friends.’ I went on.
‘Later I got a visit from someone I hadn’t expected and if I’m honest, I was pretty scared when I saw him entering the hospital room where I was recovering.’ I said looking at Pansy.
‘He told me he was sorry and that he believed me, he believed that I love Draco and he love me.’ I went on.
‘Later when Draco was lying next to me and Narcissa had just gone back home after a visit I talked with Draco and then he also went away, back to school.’ I said.
‘I lifted my pillow up so it would lay right and do you know what I found under my pillow?’ I asked.
‘A bed.’ Pansy said sarcastically.
‘And this parchment folded up.’ I said.
‘Do you know what it says?’ I asked.
‘No of course not, I can’t bloody see through parchment!’ Pansy snapped.
‘I think you actually do.’ I said.
‘Sounds this familiar? Lucius Malfoy, I’m almost sure you don’t know that your son Draco Malfoy is together with a muggle-born Hermione Granger, I think you know her as she is one of the Golden Trio. I want you to know that Hermione had put him under some kind of spell, or she used a potion. As she is the “brightest” witch of our time, she can do that. Of course she said she didn’t do it, but I believe she did. And she has to get punished for that. This Gryffindor slut thinks she can do this without getting punished. I thought maybe you would like to know this as it is YOUR son that is the victim in this story.’ I read out loud.
I lifted my head up and looked at Pansy.
‘Pansy Parkinson.’ I finished putting the parchment back in my pocket.
‘You’ve told Lucius about Draco and me, and you lied to him! You told him I was using a potion or some kind of spell.’ I said raising my voice.
‘Why would someone do such a thing, you knew that if he would escape he would come and get me, torture me or maybe even kill me!’ I said.
Pansy pulled out her wand and pressed me to the wall. She put the wand under my chin and came closer with her head.
‘Give me the parchment.’ Pansy said through gritted teeth
I didn’t move and I kept my mouth shut. I could’ve known that Pansy would pull out her wand, forcing me to give her the letter. The only evidence that Pansy had started all of this. I didn’t know if McGonagall would believe me without the evidence.
‘Give. Me. The. Damn. Letter.’ Pansy said.
‘No.’ I said.
‘That’s not very smart.’
Pansy stepped back still pointing her wand at me.
‘CRUCIO’ Pansy said loudly.
I felt the pain that I had felt a few weeks ago again. I fell down on the ground, trying to escape the pain, but I couldn’t. I screamed, but it didn’t help. I had closed my eyes and had my arms around my stomach pressing them close to my body, but that didn’t help either. The pain was unbearable. My heartbeat raised and so did my breathing. I screamed, but still it didn’t help anything. I wanted to escape the pain. I tried to think of something else, but the pain was to worse that I couldn’t think of anything happy, a memory that made me happy. I tried to think of Draco, but that didn’t help to get my mind off, the pain was unbearable.
‘EXPELLIARMUS!’ I heard out of the sudden nearby, I knew directly to whom the voice belonged.
Pansy’s wand flew out of her hand and the pain went away. I took a few times a deep breath in and out before I opened my eyes again. I felt a thick sticky liquid on my head, I presumed it was blood, again. Pansy had turned her face away from me and looked at the person who had caught her wand. I didn’t move, I lay still on the floor, panting heavily. I couldn’t move, it was too painful. I wasn’t strong enough either. I heard a lot of footsteps running and coming closer to where I was laying. When I looked around and I saw students gasping standing a few metres away from where Pansy was standing and I was laying on the ground. Why didn’t they do anything? Why were they just standing there with widened eyes? I tried to look at the one person I wanted to be with right now, who was holding Pansy’s wand in his hand and looked angry at Pansy, Draco.
‘YOU ARE BLOODY MAD YOU BITCH, TRYING TO KILL HER!’ Draco shouted at Pansy.
My head was hurting a lot and the shouting of Draco wasn’t really helping. Pansy said nothing and remained silent.
‘IF YOU MOVE, I’LL HEX YOU, STAY WHERE YOU ARE AND DON’T TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND EVER AGAIN.’ Draco shouted.
He sounded furious.
‘Hermione!’ I heard Ginny say.
I heard her coming closer and she kneeled down next to me.
‘Hermione say something.’ She said.
I looked at her, but remained silent, I couldn’t talk. It looked like there we thousands of knives in my throat.
‘Draco bring Hermione up to the Hospital Wing, I’ve already send McGonagall a patronus.’ I heard Harry say.
Ginny looked down at me with a worried look on her face.
‘What about Parkinson?’ I heard Draco ask.
‘I’ll take care of her.’ Harry said.
‘What the bloody hell is happening here?’ I heard Ron ask out of the sudden.
‘Hermione! Wha-what? Who?’ Ron asked.
‘Parkinson used the Cruciatus curse on Hermione.’ Harry explained.
Then I saw Draco hovering above me.
‘You’re going to be okay, I’m going to lift you up and bring you to Madam Pomfrey.’ Draco said softly.
I felt his arms under my back and legs and he lifted me slowly up.
‘You’re not going to get away with this Parkinson!’ Draco shouted.
‘Out of the way!’ Ginny yelled at the students that were surrounding us.
‘If you’re not going to move right now, I’m going to hex you!’ Ginny yelled.
All the students moved out of the way instantly and Draco started to run up the stairs with Ginny beside him. He looked down at me.
‘Hermione stay with me, don’t close your eyes.’ Draco said.
But it was hard, my eyelids were so heavy.
‘Stay with me Hermione, stay with me, you’ll be okay.’ Draco said.
I lifted my hand up with all the strength I had and placed it on Draco’s cheek.
‘It’s okay.’ I whispered.
I became really noxious and everything was hurting so badly, I pulled my hand back and laid it on my stomach.
‘Hermione! Stay with me.’ Draco said.
‘Hermione don’t close your eyes, we’re almost there!’ I heard Ginny say desperate.
‘Damn we need to hurry up, we need to be there before it’s too late.’ Draco said.
I felt more wind on my face, he had probably speeded his step. I still felt the pain in my body, it was everywhere, it was the only thing I could feel. I tried to think of happy memories, but the pain was to heavy and I couldn’t distract myself. I tried to keep my eyes open but it was harder with every second that passed.
‘We’re almost there just a few steps.’ Draco said.
But then I couldn’t keep my eyes open and the darkness caught me.

Draco’s POV:

I ran up the stairs as quickly as I could. I looked down at Hermione.
‘We’re almost there.’ I said.
But then she closed her eyes.
‘Ginny we need to hurry.’ I said desperate.
Ginny fast opened the doors of the Hospital wing and we ran inside.
‘Madam Pomfrey!’ Ginny yelled.
The old lady ran towards us and her eyes widened when she saw Hermione in my arms.
‘Here, put her down on this bed.’ She said immediately.
I fast ran towards the bed she had pointed at and laid Hermione down.
‘Please hurry up.’ I said.
‘What happened?’ She asked stopping beside the bed.
‘Parkinson used the Cruciatus curse on Hermione.’ Ginny said.
I had packed Hermione’s hand and held it tightly. I felt her heartbeat in her wrist, and it slowed down.
‘Hurry up, her heart is giving it up.’ I said.
I felt tears coming up in my eyes.
‘Give me space, wait outside the curtains.’ Madam Pomfrey said.
‘GO!’ She said after I didn’t moved.
Ginny pulled me away from Hermione and Madam Pomfrey closed the curtains in front of me. Ginny had turned me around and she gave me a tight hug. A few tears rolled over my cheek and I wiped them fast away.
‘She’s going to be fine.’ Ginny said softly rubbing my back.
‘Her heartbeat, it slowed down, she’s going to die Ginny and it’s all my fault.’ I said.
‘No it’s not, and she definitely doesn’t want you to think of it that way, it’s not your fault and she’s not going to die, she’s one of the strongest persons I know, she can survive this.’ Ginny said pulling away and looking into my eyes.
‘She’s going to survive this. She has to.’ Ginny said.
