This was a very hard chapter to write. It deals with characters finding out they were raped. This had to happen at some point. The worst part is the beginning of the chapter. The area below the Wednesday Evening heading is slightly easier, but still rough. I tried to not make it too heavy and I think therefore their reactions aren't as realistic as they should be.
Thanks to LUNALOVEE for your review! You're the only one on Adult Fanfiction who has left me a review and it made my day :)
Wednesday continued
Hermione and Ginny discussed it and decided they were going to see Madam Pomfrey. At first they both said no, but after a couple hours of rehashing everything, they decided it was best to find out. So far, no other witches from Gryffindor were going to the infirmary.
"Girls, come in." Madam Pomfrey gestured for them to enter. She had set up a corner of the room cheerfully, with flowers. She also had juice and cookies. Susan Bones and her aunt and uncle were exiting the infirmary with Dumbledore, just as she and Ginny came in. That answered her question about which Susan.
Madam Pomfrey led them to the corner and sat down next to them. "So, I don't have a lot of tests to offer. I can test to see if you are a virgin, I can test for pregnancy or diseases of the personal nature. I have other tests I can run that will determine if you have been under the effects of any mind altering potions recently, and I can test for any obliviation damage." She saw their expressions and said reassuringly, "obliviation does not cause damage unless it done very frequently over a longer period of time. It's unlikely, but I can test for it, if you like." She paused and then picked up a pamphlet she had made up. "This pamphlet lists symptoms one might experience after being given a mind altering potion or after being obliviated. Feel free to take one if you like."
Hermione and Ginny looked at each other. Hermione looked back at Madam Pomfrey and said shyly. "Would you mind just checking that we are still virgins?" She bit her lip and continued. "That's really the most important thing at this point as it will answer our biggest question,... were we attacked?"
Madam Pomfrey nodded and patted Hermione's hand tenderly. "Of course, dear." She looked from one to the other. "Who would like to go first?"
"I will." Hermione said softly.
"Ok, just come over to this cot and lie down."
Hermione did as instructed. Madam Pomfrey cast a silencing spell and then pulled the curtain far enough that Ginny could not watch. She then whispered a spell and waved her wand over Hermione's abdomen and pelvis.
When she was finished she sat down next to Hermione and took her hand. "My dear, you are not a virgin." Hermione was silent and just looked at Madam Pomfrey as it sunk in. Then she burst into tears.
Madam Pomfrey said quietly, "Dobby." When the elf appeared she said softly, "please get Professor McGonigall."
Hermione interrupted her, "no, no. Let Professor McGonigall get some sleep. I'll be fine." Hermione sniffled.
"Hermione, you need someone."
"No," she shook her head as tears streamed down her face.
Just then Professor Snape arrived with three Slytherin witches. Madam Pomfrey stood and walked towards them, pulling the curtain the rest of the way around her cot, but not before Professor Snape saw her crying. She heard Madam Pomfrey speak kindly to the three witches, telling them she would be with them shortly. She could then hear the deep tenor of Professor Snape's voice speaking very quietly with Madam Pomfrey. A minute later, the curtain was pulled back slightly to reveal her potions Professor. His face softened at the sight of her and she burst into sobs.
He conjured a chair and sat beside her. "I'm so sorry, Hermione. Judging by your state, I will assume Madam Pomfrey gave you bad news." The use of her first name sounded so strange coming from him. She didn't say anything, but willed herself to stop crying. He pat her hand with his. "This, Miss Granger, is an acceptable reason to act your age and cry. You do not need to be strong and in control right now." His words impacted her unlike she would have ever imagined. She rolled onto her side facing him and sobbed. He was still resting his hand on hers so she grabbed it and held it and he held her hand in return as she cried.
After a few minutes, she stopped crying and felt herself regaining control of her emotions. She released his hand and sat up. "Thank you, Professor." She dabbed her eyes and nose with a tissue. "I'm ok now. It was a shock..even though, even though I suspected."
"Of course, you have no need to explain. This is all just so...unfathonable." He sighed and then looked at her. "Blaise will be going to Azkaban for a very long time, Hermione. He will be punished severely for this egregious act."
Hermione didn't want to think about that right now. "I need to check on Ginny."
She sat on the side of the cot and stood up. Professor Snape opened the curtain and she stepped out. There was a curtain pulled around another cot. Hermione saw the three Slytherin witches sitting where she had been sitting earlier. She could only assume Ginny was behind the pulled curtain. Professor Snape excused himself and walked over to his three witches.
Madam Pomfrey stepped out from the behind the curtain with a very grim look on her face, which told Hermione all she needed to know. Hermione looked at Madam Pomfrey. "Can I see her?"
Madam Pomfrey looked at her for a minute and then smiled, "of course." Madam Pomfrey then turned back towards the curtained cot, pulled it back and peeked around at Ginny. "Miss Granger would like to see you, is that alright?" Hermione heard a muffled "yes."
Hermione dashed around the curtain and climbed into the cot next to the crying redhead. They held each other tightly and a few minutes later, Harry and Ron came in. Harry and Ron pulled up chairs and sat next to the crying witches.
They looked at each other and back at the girls. "Madam Pomfrey sent Dobby to get us." Harry's eyes were starting to water and Ron's face was beat red with fury. Ron whispered, "well, I think we can tell what your results were."
Hermione pushed herself up and sat on the side of the stretcher. "I think the worst part, is not knowing when, or where or how many times," she let out a sob, "or with how many wizards." Ron pulled Hermione to him and hugged her tightly. Harry was crying as he climbed into the cot and held Ginny.
Wednesday Evening
Ginny and Hermione were sitting in Ginny's dorm room. They were still upset, but the real emotion taking hold at this time was anger. The girls were given the option of notifying their parents, but they opted not to. If they decide to press charges, then their parents would have to be notified. But, their appointments with Madam Pomfrey were confidential and the results would not be disclosed to anyone without the witches consent, no matter the circumstances.
When they arrived to dinner, the Great Hall was buzzing with chatter. Students were looking around trying to ascertain if any other witches or wizards had left the school. Hermione didn't notice any glaring absences and didn't feel the need to go so far as a head count...unlike Lavender who was listing everyone unaccounted for on a piece of paper.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Draco was uneasy. He trusted that Blaise wouldn't rat him out, as Severus had said he had talked to Blaise. Draco could only imagine what that meant. It was Blaisie's fault anyway. Blaise was the one prostituting the witches. He was the one who had been greedy, fucking practically every witch in the castle who was over 16. He was the one who wanted to sell sex for money, Draco had just wanted to get his rocks off on a few witches. He never meant for any of this to happen and in hindsight, he should have stopped Blaise, instead of just warning him.
Draco had asked Severus why he didn't just obliviate everybody Tuesday night..Hermione, Ginny, Trixie and the 7 wizards. But, Severus had said it was just to many and too risky, not to mention the sneak-o-scope. Of all the luck! Draco had no idea such a device even existed.
Draco watched his witch all through dinner. She was withdrawn, sad and disinterested in what was going on around her. Did she know she wasn't a virgin? Is that why she was so sad? Draco felt a flush of incredible guilt seeing her like that. He didn't want her to be sad. Fuckin Blaise. It was all his fault.
When Hermione got up to leave she was alone. Draco could see the others hadn't finished eating. It looked like her friends were asking her to stay but she shook her head no. Weasel stood up to walk with her, but she put her hand on his chest to stop him. Then she turned and started to walk out of the Great Hall.
Hermione just wanted to be alone. Actually, she had some questions but didn't know who to ask. Professor Dumbledore or Tonks, probably would be best, but she didn't want to disturb Dumbledore as he had the whole school to worry about and Tonks wasn't around. She decided she would talk to Professor Snape. She turned left to head toward the dungeons where she figured she would wait for him. She had just seen him in the Graet Hall and figured he was probably still eating.
As she walked, her blonde friend came up beside her and walked with her. He smiled at her, "Hi Hermione."
She turned and gave him a half hearted smile in return. "Hey." Hermione felt guilty, but a piece of her questioned Draco's involvement in all this. That dream had been about him, not Blaise. But, it was just a dream. Maybe it was because she kind of had feelings for Draco that she had dreamed it was him instead of Blaise...Wait, did she even like Draco back then? She couldn't remember. She was so overwhelmed by it all. It would be so much easier if she knew she could trust him.
Draco was looking at her with concern. "Are you ok, Granger?"
He stopped and grabbed her arm, forcing her to stop as well. "Look at me." He said softly.
She stopped and tried to hold back the tears as she looked at him.
"Hey..Its ok." Draco whispered as he pulled her into a hug. She felt her strength crumble as he held her and she let herself cry on his shoulder.
"C,mon. Let's go somewhere we can talk privately." Her took her hand and pulled her down the steps. When they got to the dungeons, he looked around, thinking about the best place to go. He looked back at her. "No one's in my dorm." He sighed. "All my dorm mates have either been arrested or suspended."
Red flags were waving in her brain. "Draco, I don't think.."
Draco's look and tone was sincere and pleading. "Hermione, it's safe. You're safe with me. No one will mess with you from slytherin."
"Ok, just for a little while."
Draco continued to hold her hand as he led her into the Slytherin common room. It was empty. He then led her down another small set of stairs and into his dorm. She looked in awe at the large window that had a spectacular underwater lake view. She could see the giant squid and a couple merpeople swimming around. She looked around the room and saw 4 empty, made beds without trunks or personal items. Draco pulled her over to his bed and she sat next to him.
"Why are you crying, Hermione? I mean, I know this is all terrible, but..but, please tell me you're..you're ok, right?"
She turned to look at him. "I don't know, Draco." She started to cry. "Madam Pomfrey.. she..she did a test." Hermione sniffled and Draco handed her one of his monogrammed handkerchiefs. "I don't know if I was simply raped and obliviated, or if I was given the potion that was given to Trixie and then obliviated.. I don't know which or how many wizards have touched me, I don't know when, or where..or"
Draco pulled her into a hug. The reality of it all crashing on him. Seeing her like this upset him. He wanted to tell her that it was only him, and never Blaise or any other wizard. But she could never know. At least not now. Maybe one day he could tell her, after they had been together a long time.
"There's more. I'm so stupid." Hermione balled her hands into fists and slammed them onto her own thighs. "I noticed a few times, when I undressed at night, that my underwear was missing. It never even occurred to me something so sinister could be occurring. I thought some clever little wizard had learned how to charm off witch's panties." Hermione let out a sigh with a brief laugh. "At least four times, Draco! It happened at least 4 times. Blaise took Trixies panties as well. So, it would beg to reason, I was assaulted, at the very least, 4 times."
She turned to look at him. "Oh Draco, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I even thought maybe you were the one taking the underwear for a brief spell. But, then I got to know you and realized you wouldn't have."
Draco took both her hands in his. "Hermione, I would never, ever do such a thing. I know I've been a jerk and I know I've done some mean things in my life, but I would also never take a witch against her will. My mother raised me to respect witches. I would never do that...and I especially would never do that to you." He ran his hand through his hair and looked around the room, shaking his head. "I just can't believe Blaise, my best friend, would ever do such a thing." Draco looked at Hermione as he continued, "Blaise knows me. He knows I would have gone bludger on his ass if I found out." He shrugged, "I guess that's why I didn't know."
Draco shook his head and closed his eyes. "But, Hermione, I fear it's my fault, just the same."
"What do you mean?" She asked him hesitantly, not sure she wanted an answer.
Draco sighed heavily. "I like you, Hermione. I like you so much and have for a long time. That's the real reason I wanted your help with the potion. I mean, yeah you're smart and brilliant, but you're also beautiful and kind, and I've had a crush on you for a while." He was playing with a string on his robes and looking down. His voice had become quiet and shy like.
"Why would that make any of this your fault, Draco?" She asked him tenderly, taking his hand in hers.
He turned to her. "Because, Blaise knew how I felt. He made fun of me for it...you know, you being the princess of Gryffindor and a brainiac...But, over time, he liked you, too. I had first dibs on you, you know, being the first one to express an interest. And, Blaise and I respected each other's designs on witches. We always have." Draco started to pull off his robe leaving him in a t-shirt and jeans. "He told me last week I had to make a move or he was going to. I just wonder if he attacked you because I wanted you and he couldn't make a move because he knew I like you. So, he...he." Draco didn't finish, his voice quivering.
Hermione said with conviction, "rape is an act of violence, Draco...not affection. If he liked me, he wouldn't have raped me." She looked around the room and started to stand. "Besides, I have a feeling he did this to a lot of witches."
Draco looked up at her. "Don't go, Hermione." His voice was sweet and pleading. "I just laid my feelings out..please tell me if there is hope."
"Draco, I don't know what's up or down at this moment. I really like you, a lot...and before all this, I fancied you as well. But right now, I just, I just don't know."
Draco stood up and faced her. "Can I just, just this once?"... He stepped towards her gingerly and shyly. He lowered his head to hers and kissed her softly.
Hermione closed her eyes. It was a nice kiss, familiar somehow. It felt natural. His scent was familiar as well. She slowly kissed him back. He gently wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. Their kiss deepened. Her hands moved up into his blonde locks and his moved to her waist as her pulled her closer.
Draco was the first to pull away. He leaned his forehead to hers. "I've wanted to do that forever."
I know, I know. Snape and Draco, the master manipulators are truly despicable...
