Hey Guys so stuff gets a bit... intense when Hermione's nightmares get the better of her. I will put markers at the beginning and end of her "bad" thoughts.
Draco (next day)
I looked out the window. Hermione was sitting on the edge of the forest.
I had put a trace in her so she couldn't run and another spell to ensure she couldn't go more than half a mile away from the house. She was curled in a ball with their head against a tree.
I cursed when my aunt walked outside. I rushed out of my room but was stopped by Mum.
"Hullo Draco!" She exclaimed.
"Mum, I can't talk, Bellatrix is outside with Hermione," I rushed.
She grabbed my arm and apparated. We were outside. She cut between the two just before Bella could do anything.
"What were you thinking?! You disobeyed orders! You must be punished!" She yelled, grabbing Hermione's arm.
She marched up to me, grabbed my arm, and apparated. We came to my room.
Hermione instantly wrapped her arms around Mum.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She praised before letting mum go.
Mum smirked at me.
"Don't mention it," she replied.
Hermione sat on the bed and looked out the window.
"She's mad," she muttered.
Me and Mum looked out the window to see Aunt Bella attacking trees.
"I ruined her fun," mum replied.
Hermione gripped the sleeve of my shirt so I sat down next to her. Mum sat as well.
"So... I caught a couple of people running into the woods yesterday..." She started.
I froze.
"So... being me, I followed them," she continued.
Hermione laughed nervously.
"Did you? What happened?" She played dumb.
"Oh... they played tag.. and kissed, a lot," Mum smiled.
Hermione blushed and I shifted uncomfortably.
"Then, they apparated... I have yet to know what happened to the couple," she said. "So, what did you two do?"
"We spent the night in the forest," I replied before Hermione could say anything.
"Spent the night?" Mum said, raising her brows.
"We just slept, Mum," I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah 'slept'," she replied, with air quotes.
Hermione glared at her.
"I am a vir-" she stopped herself. "I never did that willingly," she corrected.
Mum looked shocked. Her expression turned angry.
"Did you-" she accused in my direction but I cut her off.
"I would never!" I yelled.
She turned to Hermione.
"Did he-"
"No!" She replied, "No, he didn't."
She looked really uncomfortable now.
"Who was it?" Mum asked.
Hermione was getting paler by the second. She hated talking about him.
"Maybe it isn't the best time," Mum said.
Hermione nodded.
"I haven't gotten to talk to you much since the incident," Mum stated. "How are you feeling?" She asked Hermione.
"Uhh... better, I guess," she sputtered. "Most of the wounds are healed now."
Mum nodded and looked at me.
"How are you?" She asked.
"My chest is better and Hermione is okay so I'm good," I replied.
She smiled warmly and kissed my cheek. She then kissed Hermione's forehead and left the room.
Hermione cuddled up to me.
"She really thought you would-"
"I would never do that to anyone," I said firmly.
"I know," she replied.
I was relieved that she believed me. Hermione yawned.
"Wanna take a nap?" She asked.
I nodded and fell back on the bed.
Hermione
I snuggled up to Draco and fell asleep.

You could have gotten out of it. We were going to kill you today, end it so you never feel pain again.
You can't run from me... you will never escape.
You could have gotten out of it.
Never... never feel pain again.
Kill you... never feel pain
Get out of it... Kill you...
Never feel pain... escape... Hermione...
Die Hermione.... escape the pain....
~*~*~
My eyes snapped open and I moved from Draco's arms. I stood up and started pacing.
"I could get out of it," I whispered. "Never feel pain.... it would be easy... done in moments..."

I walked up to Draco and kissed his lips.
"I love you," I said.
I made sure he was still sound asleep when I walked into the bathroom. I shut the door, plugged the tub, and started the water.
Draco
I woke to the faucet squeaking off and a small splash. I slowly got up and knocked on the bathroom door. No reply.
"Hermione?" I asked, knocking harder.
When I got no answer I quickly opened the door. I was horrified to see Hermione had her head under the water in the tub. Her body was limp.
I rushed forward, grabbed her hair, and pulled her face out of the water. She wasn't breathing. I started muttering a spell. After about a minute I thought she was gone but I didn't stop. I couldn't lose her.
I let out a shaky breath when she started coughing. I turned her on her side and pat her back. I realized I had tears running down my face but I didn't bother wiping them away. Hermione kept coughing until all the water was out of her lungs.
When I was sure she was breathing I pulled her into my arms and held her close. I let the tears fall freely down my face as I thought about what just happened.
She had obviously done it on purpose. There was no way she wouldn't have been able to pull herself out of the water unless she had any other injuries. She wasn't hurt anywhere else.
She softly groaned and shifted in my arms. I loosened my grip on her and looked at her. She was slowly getting her senses back. I hoped the spell I used wouldn't have too many side effects. Theo told me to only use it in an emergency.
"Hermione?" I asked shakely.
"Draco?" She whimpered.
"We need to get you to a healer.... someone," I told her, getting to my feet.
I cradled her soaked body in my arms and apparated to Theo's. When we got there I obviously scared him.
"Draco?! What's going on?!" He asked, jumping off his bed.
