Draco

I nodded again and started pouring dinnanty on the cuts. She cried as it touched the wounds. "It's ok, Hermione. It will help you," I said softly.

She looked like she tried to mutter a response but no words came out.

My mum undid her hair so it wasn't in a braid anymore and I stopped with the potion. "How is this even going to work? Aunt Bella won't keep hurting her will she?" I asked dreading the answer.

"Draco, Hermione's a muggle born. Your aunt enjoys making them unhappy or seeing them in pain. Your aunt will hurt Hermione if she has a reason to and she will just do it for fun."

I sighed and looked at Hermione. She has fallen asleep. She looked really relaxed when she slept. I looked up at mum who looked worried. "Just take care of her Draco. She will be ok," mum said then left.

I locked the door and cast another silencing charm. I laid next to Hermione and carefully put my arms around her. She buried her face in my neck and put an arm around me.

I felt myself drifting off to sleep.

Harry

I searched frantically for the houses of every death eater that was by Voldemort's side. I sent a group of Aurors to every house to inspect.

A few hours later all the group's returned.

Every group said the deatheaters had gone.

"WHAT DO YOU BLOODY MEAN THEIR GONE?!" I yelled at one of the workers.

"Th...they vanished off the map sir," he stammered.

Hermione

I woke up in someone's arms. At first, I thought it was Ron. Then I remembered what happened yesterday. Catching Ron cheating, going home, being tortured, Draco, and my parents.

I looked up to see Draco asleep with his arms around me. I tried to move but could hardly even go an inch. My body was stiff and I had dried blood on my skin. I groaned in pain when I forced a hand to my face.

I could feel the deep cuts into my skin. There was a liquid on them though. I smelt my fingers and instantly recognized dinnanty. I wish it could heal the wounds but it at least helps prevent infection.

I started thinking about everything that happened yesterday and my parents flashed into my mind. I felt tears run down my face and I forced myself to move away from Draco. I bit on my tongue to keep from making any noise.

He did this to me. Malfoy's, bloody Malfoy. I have to get out of here, I thought.

I fell off the bed and I heard Draco stir. I stayed quiet no matter how much pain I was in. I grabbed his wand off the nightstand and dragged myself to the door. I unlocked it and drug myself down the hallway.

I came to some stairs. How peachy. I carefully moved down a few steps before I had to stop. I caught my breath and made it down the rest of the stairs. I made it to the front door and reached for the handle.

Suddenly Draco's wand flew from my hand. I looked around to see Bellatrix holding Draco's wand. I started crying as she came closer. She pointed her wand at me and said the one word I didn't want to hear. 

I screamed with all the energy I had left. Draco ran down the stairs and stopped Bellatrix. "Honestly, she can't do anything if you don't stop torturing her," he said taking his wand from her.

He flicked his wand and I was in the air. I was taken to his room and sat on the bed again. He locked the door and cast a silencing charm.

I started twitching a lot. It is a well known side affect of the curse. I tried hard to keep myself from twitching too bad but I was more concentrated on sitting up. I was more than terrified of the furious man in front of me.

"What were you thinking?!" Draco yelled. I jumped and avoided his eyes. "Look, I'm sorry for yelling, it's just, she likes to see you hurt. Give her a reason to hurt you she will take it as a chance for fun."

I looked at the door instead of making eye contact. I was hurt too bad. I shouldn't have moved in my condition not to mention getting hit with a curse. "I...I..I w..was g..o..ing h...home," I said the best I could. I was still twitching and crying.

"You can't go home, Hermione, death eaters will bring you right back and punish you or kill you," he replied softly. "I'm sorry, I didn't want any of this to happen."

Now I was not only twitching and crying but also shaking.  I lost everything in two days. My parents are dead, my fiancee cheated on me, and I'm a slave to my childhood enemy. Before I knew it I was being hugged. I wrapped shaking arms around Draco and cried into his chest. He held me tight and rubbed my back.

After a long time I pulled back. I wiped off my eyes and took a deep breath. "I...I'm s..sorry," I stuttered. I don't exactly know why but I feel like this is my fault.

"I'm so sorry this happened, my dad's stubborn. Anyway, stay away from my father and aunt. They despise you and other Mud...ggle borns." Nice save. "My mother is ok, she won't hurt you unless you will get worse if she doesn't. Same with me, I won't hurt you unless it means worse if I don't," Draco explained.

I nodded and stopped shaking. My hands kept twitching so he held them in his. I looked up at him and tried to force a smile. Draco looked at me funny, probably because my face hurt too bad to smile.

"I will be back in a moment," he said quietly and left the room.

I sat on the soft bed and looked around the room. It was big and the walls were green and silver. It had hardwood floors and a large door. There was a bookshelf on the other side of the room and a desk by the bed.

The door quickly opened but instead of Draco it was Narcissa. Draco told me she was safe to be around but that didn't keep me from shaking. "How are you feeling?" She asked softly.

I was too terrified to say anything. I just sat there shaking. She had a pained expression on her face.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want this to happen," she whispered, toughing my face.

Draco walked in with a rag in his hand and sat by me. Narcissa left the room without another word. Draco locked the door and cast another silencing charm.

I didn't stop shaking when she left, Draco still had a wand and I was left defenceless. I didn't move when Draco knelt down in front of me or when he carefully started wiping the blood off my face.
