Chapter 10

Draco

Wetness on my shirt and soft sobs woke me from my uneasy sleep. I opened my eyes to see a mop of curly brown hair against my chest.

I put my hand up and stroked her hair softly. She stifled the sobs into whimpers and held me as close as I could possibly be. We stayed like that for an hour at least before the whimpers stopped.

After a while she lifted her head up and wiped her eyes. She, to my utter surprise, had a huge smile on her face.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm fi- okay," she said before throwing her arms around my neck.

"I'm so confused," I muttered.

"I'm sorry," Hermione pulled back. "Last night with the nightmare, fighting you with the potion, I'm sorry. I'm just really happy now to know I'm still here," she raised her voice as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I thought this was all a dream... I was back with Ron."

"Your safe now," I said firmly. "Why we're you so afraid of the potion?"

"I..I don't think I can talk about it," she said quickly.

"Is it another curse? I could reverse it if-"

"No. I just can't talk about it," she repeated.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"Draco, I mean I don't want to talk about it," she sighed.

"Oh... can I see instead?"

"Huh?" She asked.

"I'm a Legilimens. Severus taught me so I'm better at it than him," I replied. "Can I see your memories?"

She hesitated.

"I.... are you sure because it's.... it's really disgusting?" She asked.

"I would like to see but only if you will let me," I replied.

"Doesn't it make me relive everything you see?" She asked.
When I nodded she looked me straight in the eye.

"Can you make it fast?" She asked, almost pleading.

"It will only last seconds," I told her.

"Okay," she said, closing her eyes.

"Legilimens," I muttered.

I held Hermione's hair and rubbed her back as she was sick. When she was finished I wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet.

I helped her to a standing position but she fell against me. I helped her back to the bed.

"Draco, I'm fine," she groaned.

"I can't believe Weasel did that!"

Hermione

Draco started pacing.

"I can't believe it... he did that to you..." he growled.

"Honestly Draco, it's fine," I reasoned. "I'm fine now."

"Hermione! No, it is not “fine.“ I don't care what you say, it is not okay to rape someone!" He yelled.

"Draco, please, just sit down," I whimpered.

His head snapped up and his face softened.

"Yeah, alright," he said, sitting by me.

I held his face in my hands.
