Friday Evening
Severus poured himself a firewhiskey as he contemplated this mountain of a mess Draco, and potentially himself had landed in. After Draco had professed his love for Hermione and insisted she loved him as well and would forgive him, Severus did the only thing he could do. He obliviated the blonde and escorted him back to Slytherin. It was time he distanced himself from the blonde. He needed to come out of this blameless and that meant Draco and Blaise would take the fall alone. He used occlumens on Draco before obliviating him, and got a first hand look at all the interactions and sexual encounters with Hermione. After much deliberation, he performed specific memory obliviations on Draco and removed all Draco's memories of their conversations about Hermione. Many obliviations were only parts of conversations. For instance, Draco would remember Snape waking him and telling him about Baise being arrested, but the part where Snape told Draco to hide the potion would be lost to Draco. Draco would not remember ever confiding to Snape about using the potion on her. Snape also obliviated the memory of seeing him with McGonigall. There was nothing in Draco's memories linking Snape to any of it. This meant he also had to obliviate Draco's memory of having sex with Hermione in his study the day before. It was risky obliviating so many memories, but it was necessary. Snape was skilled at the art of obliviation and was convinced he could do so without harming the boy.
Snape walked to his favorite wingback chair and continued pondering the situation. He had only used the potion himself one time and that had been on Professor McGonigall. It really was a remarkable potion and the Dark Lord had already started incorporating it into his revels. The Death Eaters relished raping and maiming females only to have them beg for more.
Perhaps Lucius should be informed about Draco? No, best to let the chips fall where they may. The Malfoy's had received the same owl as everyone else, but Draco had owled them insisting he was not involved and for them not to worry. Going forward, Snape would be Hermione's ally and now that Draco couldn't implicate him in any way, he should be in the clear. He knew Blaise wouldn't say anything, not after the threat Snape laid at Blaise's feet. What a mess.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
After dinner, Hermione and Ginny pulled Harry and Ron aside and headed to the room of requirement so they could talk without being interrupted. The girls filled Harry and Ron in on everything. To say Harry and Ron were upset would be an extreme understatement. They were furious and heartbroken for their friend. They were more convinced than Ginny or Hermione that Draco was guilty. Harry, was also incensed at the thought that Draco might have attacked Ginny. He didn't mention this to her, as he wanted her forget she had ever been raped, but he would avenge her. He would avenge her if it was the last thing he did.
The foursome discussed their plan. Part one was gathering evidence and part two was seeking revenge. Draco would pay dearly for what he did.
Saturday Morning
Draco woke up feeling strange. He had gone to bed the night before with a terrible headache. He felt like something was off, but he couldn't quite place it. He remembered that today he had a date with Hermione. This made him quite happy and he dressed with care. He would look handsome for his witch. He went to breakfast to see Hermione sitting with her friends at the Gryffindor table. He was surprised they all turned to look at him as he walked in. Hermione must have told them about her date with him. It was a good sign that she did that. She had feelings for him and clearly wanted her friends to know she had a date with him today. By the end of the day, she would be his completely, he was certain.
He decided that since they know, he would approach her. He walked over to the Gryffindor table and smiled brightly at her. "Hi Hermione." She turned to look at him. He was surprised by her expression. It wasn't the warm smile he was used to, but an awkward smile. She looked tense. Draco felt she was probably really nervous.
"Hi, Draco." She responded. Her voice didn't sound normal. She almost sounded irritated.
"What time do you want to head to Hogsmeade?" He asked as he looked around the table to see Harry and Ron looking at him with hate in their eyes. That was fine, he knew they hated him and it didn't matter. Hermione would want nothing to do with them soon enough. He would turn her against them or them against her. One or the other.
Hermione looked at Ginny and then back at Draco. "Ummm, 10?" She responded.
"Great, I'll meet you at the front door of the castle at 10." He smiled at her and turned, walking back to the Slytherin table to the shocked faces of his fellow Slytherin classmates.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hermione watched him walk away. Her stomach was in knots. She wanted to be wrong about him. But, she knew she wasn't and she was nervous about being alone with him. What if he had a room set up like Blaise? Maybe he was planning to whore her out today to a group of adolescent boys. She felt nauseated at the thought.
Ginny took her hand. "It's ok. Harry and I will be shadowing you closely. You won't be alone with him. When he starts to give you the potion, Harry and I will be there to intervene. We'll grab you and the potion and take it to Dumbledore. You'll be safe. We'll have evidence against him, he'll be arrested and that will be the end of him."
Hermione looked from Harry to Ron and back to Ginny. "I want revenge Ginny. Sending him to Azkaban isn't enough."
Harry smiled at her. "Don't you worry about that, Mione. We'll have revenge." Hermione nodded at him and then looked back at Draco to see he was staring at her.
Hermione dressed for her date with care. She wore a pretty, blue cashmere sweater her mother had sent her with her newest jeans. She walked down to the main castle door at 9:55 with Ginny and Harry close behind under the cloak. Ron and Lavender were already in Hogsmeade where they would be tailing from a distance. She tried to make her expression as normal as she could so that Draco wouldn't catch on that she was on to him.
Draco was already there when she arrived at the entrance. He smiled and greeted her, "I've been looking forward to this all week."
She gave him a shy smile in return as Professor Snape walked up behind them. The Professor nodded to her and then Draco.. "Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy."
"Good morning, Professor." Hermione replied. Draco turned back towards Snape and offered him a nod in reply.
The Professor walked with a quicker pace and moved on ahead of them as the couples and small groups of students made their way toward the village.
"So, where do you want to go first?" Draco asked her.
"Um...Honeydukes?" She asked tentively, realizing she was acting completely unlike herself and needed to snap out of it or the cat was going to be out of the bag. She took a breath, and then, trying to sound more like herself added, "And I definitely want to go to Tomes and Scrolls."
Draco laughed. "Of course you want to go there."
Draco started walking towards the candy store. "So, what did you do yesterday?" He looked at her with a perfectly normal expression.
Hermione felt so off. He was acting so normal. He was being nice and what if she was wrong about him? What if he had never attacked her? She sighed internally and answered his question. "I, umm, I studied and hung out with Harry, Ginny and Ron."
Draco nodded. "Yeah, I did the same... Finally got that Charms essay done. I also swung by the potions lab and peeked on our potion. It was still that dark green color. I'm thinking we can add the daisyroot tomorrow."
Hermione was feeling guiltier and guiltier the longer she was with him. By the time they left Honeydukes and then Tomes and Scrolls, it was lunch time. Draco had been nothing short of a gentleman all morning. He had not acted weird, he had not touched her and had not tried to get her to eat or drink anything. He had been considerate and engaging and as the morning had progressed she had fallen back into the easy conversation she was used to with him. She knew Harry and Ginny were close and as their date progressed she felt less and less like she needed them. But, she knew she could not risk sending them away. The day was still young.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Draco had noticed Hermione was acting strangely and had noticed her constantly looking back over her shoulder. It didn't take him long to figure out they were being followed. He had spotted Ron watching them from a distance and had thought he heard someone directly behind them at one point, but turned to not see anyone. He was fairly certain Harry was following under that invisibility cloak that Draco had caught Hermione under a few weeks before. He didn't know why they were being followed, but he wouldn't let it deter him from his goal for the day. And, if Hermione hadn't succumbed to his charms by the end of the day, he would potion her and enjoy her just the same. Wiling or not, she was his and he could wait for her to fall for him if necessary, but he was fairly certain she would be his by the end of the day.
They headed into The Three Broomsticks and Draco was thrilled to grab a booth at the back of the pub. Hermione had tried to grab a table by the door but another group had grabbed it before she could claim it. The only table left, was the one Draco desired. it was in the very back of the pub and in the corner.
They sat down and ordered a couple butterbeers. Neither of them were really very hungry so they sipped on their drinks while discussing their potions project.
Draco was fairly certain Harry and Ginny weren't too close at the moment. The area their table was in was a small space and it would be hard for two people hiding under a cloak to maneuver through the obstacles to the small space without being caught. Draco noticed Hermione looking over her shoulder, back towards the rest of the restaurant.
Draco jumped at his chance. "Hermione, can we talk?"
Hermione looked back towards him and gave him a shy smile. "Um, sure Draco."
He gave her a small, nervous smile. "Hermione, I just want you to know, that I'm crazy for you. I meant everything I said in my room the other day. I also respect that something terrible happened to you. If I could lay my hands on Blaise, I'd kill him for what he did." Draco took Hermione's hand in his and gently ran his thumb over hers. "Also, I'm worried there might be someone else attacking witches."
Hermione's eyes shot up to his. 'Wh..what?" She did not expect him to say this.
He looked her in the eyes and continued. "A couple sytherin witches think they've been attacked since Blaise was arrested. I told them to go to Dumbledore or Madam Pomfrey, but they won't."
"Why not?" Hermione asked, curious.
He sighed. "It's stupid, I know, but pureblood witches have to be pure on their wedding night or their marriages can be dissolved. Even if a witch has been raped, a lot of pureblood wizards won't marry them. The Slytherin girls that confided to me don't want anyone to know they aren't virgins. One of the witches is engaged!"
Hermione scoffed. "That's so hypocritical and ridiculous." Hermione felt her temper rising at the injustice.
Draco looked ashamed. "I know..and I used to be one of those pureblood hypocrites. I'm ashamed to have ever been like that. But, I don't believe in all that pureblood stuff anymore. And, I certainly don't think a witch isn't worthy because she's been raped or isn't a virgin. Anyhow, the point is, there might still be attacks going on. Just be careful and don't let yourself be at risk by being alone."
Hermione studied his face. He seemed so sincere. But, he was probably lying to protect himself and he was probably guilty. She was totally unprepared for what he said next. "Hermione, please don't get mad. Please let me finish before you go ballistic on me when I tell you this."
"What?" Hermione was dying to know what he was about to say.
Draco sighed and looked into his glass of butterbeer before continuing with hesitation. "A witness saw Potter come out of a classroom alone with another witch who later found out she had been attacked."
Hermione looked at Draco incredulously. "Oh please! There is no way Harry has anything..."
He interrupted her. "I'm not saying he does, Hermione. I may not be Potters biggest fan, and even I find this unlikely. However, the witness saw him come out of a classroom on the third floor with a witch who later figured out she had been attacked. it was at night..after curfew. The witness said it looked like he obliviated the witch and then ran off under his invisibility cloak."
"Why didn't the witness come forward..or the witch?" Hermione asked disbelievingly.
Draco looked at her like she was daft. "Come on Hermione. Do you think anyone would have believed that Harry Potter would do something like that? And if a Slytherin came forward, it would be assumed it was just someone working on behalf of "you know who" to get him expelled." He paused and continued. "The witch doesn't want to come forward because she cant let it be known she's not a virgin and the witness isn't coming forward without the witches consent." He looked around and continued. "He stole her underwear, to."
Hermione was dumbfounded. Could this be true? "I don't believe it." She sat back and crossed her arms. "Harry would never do something like that.
Draco looked at her and shrugged. "Well like I said, I find it hard to believe as well. But...regardless...be careful, Hermione!" He reached forward and took her hand again. "You're really important to me. I know you don't feel the same about me, but..but I.."
Hermione was confused. This was the Draco she had grown to care about. He was so sweet and so concerned about her. She interrupted him. "I like you as well, Draco." She sighed. "But truthfully, I just don't know who to trust or what to believe anymore."
He looked at her, sadly. "I know Hermione. Blaise is such an animal. Just be careful.. because Blaise might not be the only animal out there."
