How Can I Run From Myself??

Chapter 7

Hermione, draco, and ginny left the great hall and walked to the headmistress office and waited in silence. A half hour later mcgonagall walked in and sat down looking disappointed. "Although you are of legal age, your still a student in my school and student safety is a must, I will be notifying your parents " mcgonagall said. "Professor please they have been through enough please." Ginny begged. "I'm sorry ms weasley I must, same for you ms granger." Mcgonagall said. "My parents are dead." Hermione said. "Who were you staying with after the war, surely you weren't alone." Mcgonagall said. Ginny scoffed. "Actually yes I was, I got my own apartment." Hermione said. "That must have been hard living by yourself, at least you had your friends to help you." Mcgonagall said. "No, I left everyone after the war." Hermione said. Mcgonagall looked surprised. "Well not everyone apparently malfoy buys her coffee." Ginny said. "Shut up, draco didnt show back up in my life until two months ago." Hermione said. "Maybe you should make it easier for everyone and just disappear again." Ginny said. "Maybe I should!" Hermione replied. "GIRLS!" Mcgonagall shouted. Draco was sitting in his chair staring at the wall, oblivious to everything. "Sorry." The girls mumbled. "Mr. Malfoy." Mcgonagall said, draco looked at her. "Yes Ma'ma?" Draco said. "If I may aske what's your relationship with Ms. Granger?" Mcgonagall asked. "I'm her boyfriend Professor." Draco said. A squeal sounded through the office. The four of then turned to the wall and saw Professor Snape and Dumbledores paintings, dancing. "Albus, Severus, if you mind." Mcgonagall said. Dumbledore and Snape stopped dancing and looked at the four. "Sorry minvera." Dumbledore said. Snape nodded. "Would you like to say anything to them?" Mcgonagall asked. "Actually I would like to speak to Ms granger after your finished." Dumbledore said. Mcgonagall nodded and snape and Dumbledore left their paintings. "As we were, so you and Ms. Granger are in a romantic relationship." Mcgonagall said. "Yes." Draco replied. "As you know, it's against school rules that any boy and girl cant room together except for head boy and girl, but as you see since you two are dating I'm afraid you cant share a room." Mcgonagall said. "Professor if this is about thinking we will have sex, you dont have to worry about that." Draco said. "And whys that?" Mcgonagall asked. "Well i-" draco began to lie but hermione cut him off. "Its me, the reason we wont have sex is me, we barely kiss Professor please." Hermione said. "Your my top student ms granger, the years you have been here, you have yet to disappoint ms, I trust you, same for you mr malfoy." Mcgonagall said. "How can you trust me after all the things I've done." Draco asked. "Its simple, you were just a boy who was forced into the wrong side of things, I know that wasn't you, and you sitting here in front of me proves that." Mcgonagall said. Draco nodded. "Mr malfoy please head to your slytherin form, I need to speak with these two alone." Mcgonagall said. Drack stood up, kissed hermione on the cheek and then left. Hermione and ginny looked down, after a few minutes hermione looked up and saw Mcgonagall with tears running down her face. "Professor?" Hermione asked. Ginny looked up and saw the same as hermione. "Why would you do this, cutting, that is not the answer, what were you thinking." Mcgonagall said. "I wasnt." Hermione and ginny said at the same time. "Girls, I know you have been through alot with the war but you should not have to hide it. Everyone is hurting, talk to someone anyone." Mcgonagall said. "I was raped." Ginny said. Hermione looked at ginny in surprized. "Oh Ms Weasley." Mcgonagall said. "my brothers dead, i was raped, my family fell apart, i dont know what to do anymore." ginny said with tears rolling down her face. "ms wealey who raped you?" mcgonnaagol asked. ginny let out a sob. "i..i dont know some guy from a bar. i was..i went out with harry, ron, and charlie. charle got us into a bar. the bar was a way to let lose and forgot about everything as ron said. so thats what i did i let loose had a few drink but i remember, i remember everything, his voice, his smell, his weight, how he forced himself on me, he was some guy i met on the dance floor, we started dancing he started to get touch so i said i was going to go to the bathroom, he followed me. i told him to left but he pushed me down and pinned me to the floor, he lifted my dress and foced himself inside of me. i screamed but they music was so loud no one heard me. he left me on the floor in my own blood and tears. i remember everythign like it happened yesterday." ginny explained while tears rolled down her face. hermione felt tears run down her face and wiped them away.

"what has happened to you ms granger?" a voice aske.d hermione turned and saw dumbledore back in his painting. "i still remember they first day i met you, that little girl with so much hope and wonder what has happened to her?" dumbledore said. "she grew up and stopped living in a world full of fairy tales." hermione said. "why did you leave ms granger? your friends needed you, you know." dumbledore said. "i know, but how could i help them, when i couldnt even help myself." hermione said. "why are you in this office ms granger?" dumbledore asked. hermione pulled up her sleeves. dumbledore gasped.

"professor im so tired, i dont know how much more i can take,im tired of fighting. im done fighting you cant fix whats broken, even me." hermione said standing up adn walking out. "hermione!" dumbledore yelled after her. snape entered his painting. "so why were they in here?" snape asked. "ms granger is self harming." dumbledore said. "and ms wealsey?" snape asked. "i expect the same." dumbledore said. "why was draco in here was he...is he?" snape said not being able to finish the question. "seeing as ms granger is his girlfriend i expect not." dumbedore said. snape nodded. mcgonnagol walked back into the room.
