*Chapter 6*

Oh don't, don't cry a tear
When you're alone, with all your fears
Oh I, I'll be with you
If you are sad, and feeling blue
Cause I'll give you hope
And I'll show you love
Oh I give you all
You can't get enough
Tonight - there is a new chance
Tonight - for me and you
Yesterday is gone forever, we'll make your dreams come true
Tonight - there is a new chance
Believe in what you do
At the end of the rainbow - someone is waiting for you
*Tonight* - Deutschland sucht den Superstar (If I remember right the show was called 'Pop Idol' in England, well this is from the German version)
'Expelliarmus!!'

Hermione sighed out loud when Ron flew away from her. She heard him hitting the wall, but instead of feeling sorry like she usually would have, she was just glad.

She could feel the pendent calming down and relaxing together with her.

'Are you all right?' She moved her head slightly and looked up to meet Draco's icy blue eyes looking worriedly into hers. She was sure that he had said something, but she couldn't hear anything. She just slowly nodded as darkness overtook her and she fell unconscious.

Draco opened his cloak and draped it carefully around her before he turned around to Ron, who was just about to arise.

'Malfoy, you always seem to appear at the worst moments!' Ron growled while holding his aching back.

'It seems that appeared just at the right moment to stop you perverted freak!'

Ron laughed at Draco, who was holding out is wand at Ron.

'What? Are you so possessive, now that she's your fiancée, that you won't let some other guys have her? That ain't fair!' Ron grinned

'Stay away for her Weasley! I'm warning you just once! If you or your little 'friends' even think about hurting her ever again, in any way, I'll come after each and every one of you. Trust me, you don't want me to!'

'What Malfoy, are you afraid to fight like a real man, right here and now? Are you afraid because you know you will lose?'

'I don't fight drunken shit like you, and believe me, if I could fight Voldemort with my bare hands right now, I would win!'

'Oh yeah? Prove it!' Ron started to step closer to Draco but he decided otherwise. Instead, with a cruel smile on his face, he moved towards the table where Hermione was still lying unconscious.

'You know, she really has become a hot one. Just looking at her almost made me come. It would be a shame if I couldn't continue what I was doing before you interrupted me, don't you think?'

Before Ron could make another move, he was lying on the floor. Draco's fist connected with his jaw and he had to live through two more punches into his face and several hits into his stomach before Draco let go of him.

'I should make sure that you will never be able to take a woman ever again, but I guess that Hermione can take care of that as soon as she's awake again. And remember this Weasley; I'll kill you if you ever come near her again. That is a promise.'

With that, Draco left the library with Hermione in her arms. Once he entered the corridor he wondered if he should head to one of their rooms or to the hospital wing. Since the head boy and head girl rooms were closer, he decided to take her there, but he told two third years who were walking by to call for Madame Pomfrey.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When he reached Hermione's room, Draco placed her carefully on her bed. He sat down next to her and stroked a strand of her black hair away from her forehead. He still wondered hoe it had changed back into her original hair colour over the summer. The blood had begun to dry and the hair stuck to her skin. She looked so pale now, and her lip had started to swell. When he had seen Hermione like this in the library, it had taken all of his strength not to kill Ron right there. But she would be fine right? She was just unconscious and the wounds were nothing serious. They could be healed easily. He wouldn't lose her again!

'OH MY!' Draco turned around to see Madame Pomfrey stand in the doorway. She rushed over to the other side of the bed and looked down at the unconscious girl, and then up at Draco.

'What happened?' she asked; her voice cold as ice. Draco felt like he had been slapped. Did she think HE had done this?! He was just about to answer when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

'I'm sure that young Mr. Malfoy hasn't done this to Miss Vipérblanc.' Dumbledore said in his calm voice. Madame Pomfrey looked at the two with doubt but didn't say anything.

'Mr. Malfoy, would you please go and get Prof. Vipérblanc?' Dumbledore asked while he pushed Draco gently to the door. With one last look at the unconscious girl, Draco closed the door and headed for Damon's room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

'How can you be so sure that it wasn't Malfoy, Albus? Do I really have to remind you about the past six years???'

'I know that he's innocent. Believe me, he wouldn't hurt her.'

'But how can you be so sure?'

'You see, Selene Integrum and Michel Vipéreblanc were in the same year as Draco's parents and they were good friends. The Malfoys are the godparents of both Damon and Hermione, as are Hermione and Damon's parents to Draco. The engagement had been fixed on the day Hermione had been born. The children spent almost every day together since their parents often visited each other. She and Draco were inseparable. The day Damon and Hermione were taken away was the day when Draco began to hate muggles and everything that had to do with them. Lucius tried everything to get the ministry to allow Damon and Hermione stay with his family but they didn't allow it. So Draco grew up with the knowledge that his two best friends and the girl he was to marry were somewhere in the muggle world.'

Madam Pomfrey had listened silently while she took care of Hermione's wounds.

'Why didn't she start this school as a Vipéreblanc, then? You knew the whole time who she was, right?'

'Yes, I knew who they were since Damon's eleventh birthday, but his parents didn't let him come to Hogwarts. So, I wrote to Jonathan Spell, who lived in the same town as the Grangers and told him about Damon, so he met with him. Since Damon had just been one year in the muggle world he knew everything about our world and his true identity. The ministry had put a memory charm on Hermione, but Damon had been to old. They couldn't just make him forget ten years. Jonathan helped him whenever Damon had any questions about the wizarding world. Then when Hermione was old enough to come to Hogwarts, Damon somehow convinced his 'parents' to let her go.'

As she arose, Madam Pomfrey took some medicine out of her pocket and placed it on Hermione's nightstand.

'How is she?' Damon asked worriedly as he and Draco came through the portrait hole.

'She is fine. I put a bottle of medicine on her nightstand. She has to take two spoons of it three times a day.' With that, Madam Pomfrey was about to leave when Draco spoke up.

'There is someone in the library that will need some medicine, too.' Three pairs of eyes watched him while he headed towards the bathroom.

Madam Pomfrey raised her eyebrows at Prof. Dumbledore before she hurried to the library.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Draco came out of the bathroom Damon and Prof. Dumbledore were sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace.

'What happened to her?' Damon asked as soon as Draco closed the door behind him. He looked at Dumbledore who nodded at him.

'Ronald Weasley was trying to rape her.' Damon's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say, while Dumbledore only nodded again. Was there anything that guy didn't know?! Draco wondered. Damon rested his head in his hands and sighed.

'How is she now?' Draco asked in nothing more than a whisper.

'She is still unconscious, but she'll be fine once she wakes up. Madam Pomfrey changed her into her nightgown and took care of her wounds, but you need to make sure that she takes her medicine.' Dumbledore said while Damon shook his head silently.

Dumbledore arose from his seat and walked towards the portrait hole. 'As soon as Mr. Weasley is out of the hospital wing, where he will stay for some time as I believe, I'll make sure that nothing like this will ever happen again. Mr. Malfoy, even though I understand your actions, you will have to serve detention. I will talk to Prof. Snape about it.' Draco nodded and sat down next to Damon.

'Have you told her all about the wedding?' Draco suddenly asked and Damon lifted his head to look at Draco

'Does she know?' Damon shook his head. 'I hadn't even told her about the wedding before. She found out by reading the newspaper.' Draco frowned at this and looked confused. 'You have to tell her! After today— Damn it Damon, tell her!' Draco arose and went over to the window.

When he turned around again, Damon had left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco sat on Hermione's bed for about an hour now, just watching her sleeping and he thought about their childhood. He had loved every moment they had shared. They had shared their first kiss under mistletoe after they had seen their parents do so. They had known everything about each other. He had been happy until her parents had died and she had been taken away from him. As impossible as it may seem, Draco knew that he had fallen in love at a VERY young age. He knew that it was love because no one could ever replace her. His parents had often tried to make him play with other children — that was how he ended up with Crabbe and Goyle as his shadows- but they couldn't get him a new heart. On the day Draco heard what exactly had happened to Damon and Hermione, he began to hate muggles. They had taken away what he had loved the most! How could he know that all the times when he had been mean to her for being a muggle, that he had been mean to the one person that meant more to him than his own life?

He touched her cheek gently, caressing her soft skin. Hermione moved her head slightly letting her head rest against his palm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She relived the events of the evening again and again in her dreams. Just when Ron was about to move under her skirt, he started from the beginning again. But then suddenly he was gone and she felt a hand touching her softly on her cheek. She could have fallen asleep right then if she hadn't been already asleep. All of a sudden she felt safe and comforted. What could happen to her now? There was nothing that could hurt her, right? The tear-shaped pendant was becoming warm on her skin, but it was a comfortable warmth, like the embrace of a mother.

Mother—her mother, father. Damon, Thora, and Sean, and— and? Yes, there was someone else— but whom? She knew that there was someone else. She knew it deep down in her heart, but she didn't know who it was. She just knew one thing. She wanted to sleep...sleep. But she was already asleep, right? Then how could she want to sleep? Oh, this was so confusing! Maybe, if she opened her eyes, she would understand? The necklace became warmer and even more comforting and Hermione relaxed into this warmth and into the hand on her cheek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco watched her intently when her eyes fluttered open slowly. She looked up at him and at first he thought that she couldn't remember anything. She seemed to look right through him. But then, he saw that she slowly moved her hand towards her face and towards his hand. He felt her soft skin over his hand and her fingers moved between his. Her hand squeezed his lightly before she smiled a weak smile at him. Draco was just about to say something when she closed her eyes again, still holding his hand.

Oh, this sleep was so comforting.
