Scared of Love

Hermione lay in her bed in pain every bone in her body aces. She suffers this torture every night of here life now since her parents died. She now lived with victor krum. He had her always doing things and when he didn't he abused her. Raped her caused her pain never leaving her alone. Even at night he harassed her. But soon Hermione would be back at Hogwarts were her only home was now Hogwarts. She couldn't wait to go back. Of course she would have to sneak out and would pay dearly for it but going back was worth the pain that she got every night.

~(())~

Hermione walked into the common room glad to be back home. Harry stood next to her and said “Hogwarts It's good to be home isn't it Hermione”

“Yeah it is” Hermione said in response

“I'm going to bed you guys“said Ron

“Ok see ya in the morning ron” said Harry

Since Harry and Hermione were head boy and girl they got there own common room and rooms. They walked in and it was Hermione's room on the right and harrys on the left, and a fireplace on the right wall with a couch in front of it and to chairs. The only thing that lit the room was the fireplace.

Hermione walked up to the fireplace dropped her knees onto the rug and looked deep into the fire like it had eyes.

She whispered “what will happen”

Harry looked at her with a worried expression and said”Hermione are you ok you look like something's wrong”

“I'm perfectly fine Harry there's nothing wrong” she said calmly

“Hermione you know you can always talk to me right”

“Yes I know that” said Hermione and with that she went off to bed

“Whats wrong with hermione“ harry thought to himself “there has to bed something wrong. I just hope sooner or later she'll tell me” and with tat he went up to bed himself

That night Harry woke up to the sound of a scream which sounded like Hermione's voice. Harry got up and ran into Hermione's room. She was still asleep having a nightmare. Harry ran over to he she was breathing heavily Harry gently shock her. She woke up and sat up instantly and said

“Were is he I know he's here he going to kill me“

“No one's here Hermione” Harry said “it's all a dream or a nightmare”

“But he was standing right before me. He had a knife in his hand. He was about to strike me with it. Then you woke me up.” Said Hermione

“Who's “He” Hermione”

“Victor Krum…. He abuse's me. Hermione felt tears run down her face. Harry sat next to her and hugged him close to his chest.

“I'm going to kill him. I promise that I'm going to kill him. He'll never come near you again I promise” said Harry raging with anger

“My parents died and so victor just took me. He rapes me when he feels like it and he never leaves me alone and I know he knows I left to come here and he'll make sure I pay for it. He's going to kill me. I know it. I can't go back I can't” said Hermione.

“You have to tell someone Hermione you can't hide this from everyone.” Said Harry

“You don't understand” Hermione almost screamed at him “no matter what he will do anything to kill me. Once he's found out there's no stopping him.

Hermione was shaking in fright now.

“Fine” said Harry “If he wants to come after you let him. He's going to have to deal with me”

“NO!” This time Hermione screamed “that will just put you in danger”

“I don't care” said Harry

“Well I do” said Hermione “I don't want you in this. You might die because of me. I don't want that. I don't want to lose you just because I have a problem”

“Hermione this is more then a problem this is your life” said Harry

“My life isn't as important as defeating Voldemort” said Hermione

“Your right” said Harry

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief

“You're more important than saving the world” said Harry

“Harry people have lost so many from Voldemorts kills. You have lost your parents and Sirius. You should waist time worrying about me I can take care of my problems” said Hermione

“No you can't look at you Hermione you're as scared as a mouse about to be eaten by a snake. Hermione let me help you, I want to protect you. I don't want to lose another person I care about.” said Harry

“You're not going to change my mind Hermione”

“Ok Harry” Hermione whispered

“Thank you Hermione” said Harry

Harry sat in a chair next to her bed. Before Hermione could ask why he was sitting there he said

“I want to stay just in case you have another nightmare”

“Harry you can't just sit there” said Hermione

“Well what do you suppose I do sleep with you” said Harry

“I don't mind” said Hermione in a little embarrassment

“Uh...are you sure” said Harry

“Yes” said Hermione as she pulled down the covers for him to slide under and he did

Hermione scooted closer to him and Harry had a sudden erg to wrap his arm around Hermione's waist so he did and he layed his head on her neck. Harry's breath tickled Hermione and went all over her body.

For one night Hermione got a decent sleep without pain but with comfort of someone caring for her, and so did harry

$@$

The next morning Hermione woke up in Harry's arms. The sun's light poured through the window shinning on Hermione's bed. The night's events came running back to her. She didn't know what to think. What was going to happen? Was Harry going to get hurt and if so it would all be because of her she couldn't have that. She didn't want him to get hurt or die because of her. She wasn't worth it.

She got up, carefully not to wake Harry. Got dressed and wrote a note to Harry. 15 minutes later Harry woke up and found that Hermione had left and she had left a note for him which read:

Dear Harry

I had to leave .I can't risk your life in danger as it is already. You shouldn't worry about me. You should worry about the task at hand defeating Voldemort. I'm traveling to a place were no one can find me not even Dumbledore. Harry just promise me that you will always be as great as a friend as you are right now. I'm helping you Harry. Don't come after me. I'm also trying to find the location of Voldemort. I almost there to finding it out. I always saw you for who you were Harry not The-Boy-Who-Lived but you I saw the real you. Just to let you know Harry you will always have a friend who will be there for you no matter what have faith Harry.

Love,

Hermione

Harry couldn't believe it. He reread the letter over and over again til it finally hit him. He had to go after her no matter what stood in his way. He ran to Dumbledore's office. The headmaster was already there as if he already knew everything.

Harry started to speak when he raised a hand and said “I already know Harry you must go after her before time runs out”

“What do you mean by that” asked Harry

“Voldemort will know what happened sooner or later and he will capture her and use her as a weakness against you” said Dumbledore

Harry ran out of Dumbledore's office not stopping for anything. He ran out the castle. Harry thought quickly were would Hermione go. Think Harry think. Then it popped into his mind “The giant's village hagrid had been last year”

He started to run as fast as he could toward the hippogriffs. Harry stopped in front of one bowed and waited to see if he accepted he did and Harry climbed onto his back and led the hippogriff toward the giant's village. Harry remembered that cave hagrid was in. Hermione had to be there.

It would probably take a few days to get there. Hermione probably took a hippogriff even though she hated flying.

Harry rested for the night in a cave. It was nice and cool. Harry layed down and fell into an uneasy sleep.

)*(DREAM)*(

Harry walked out of the woods into a graveyard the same one in which he was in, in fourth year. There was only a fire that lit the darkness. Harry walked toward it. As he grew closer to his destination he saw a figure that looked like Hermione. As he grew closer he saw that it was Hermione. He ran towards her. She looked dead on the cold dirt ground. Harry bent down towards her and checked her pulse. Nothing. She was dead all because of him and her uncle. He wanted to murder everyone that caused her pain. He yelled out “VOLDEMORT!”

(*)END OF DREAM (*)

Harry woke up with sweat draining down his face.

“Hermione” he thought “Voldemort has her”

Harry ran over and jumped on Seafix (the hippogriff). Seafix instantly flew out of the cave and into the cold rain, windy too. But that didn't stop Harry at all. Harry saw a forest. He went into it. Got off Seafix and walked to the end of it. He walked out and saw Hermione with a blade to her neck. Voldemort was holding her with her arms behind her back.

“Harry get out of here” yelled Hermione

“No” said Harry

“I'd do what she says potter unless you want to see her suffer” said Voldemort

“Wouldn't you just love that mudblood to suffer more and memories brought back to you” He whispered in Hermione's ear.

He put the knife on her neck. Suddenly memory flashes of pain she suffered was all coming back. Hermione yelled “No! Not again”

Every memory she held was bring back pain. She could feel the pain coming inside her she couldn't fight it off. She shook her head violently. Voldemort cut the knife deep into her she yelled out in agony and he threw her to the ground.

I see you're enjoying yourself mudblood. He laughed hysterically

Harry yelled “AVADA KEDVERA!”

The curse hit Voldemort hard in the chest and he fell to the ground in ashes of his wasted soul. Harry just hoped it was the end of it. He ran over to Hermione praying that she was alright. She was shaking with fear. Harry picked her up and carried her to Seafix and gently layed her in his lap, and flew back to the castle.

Half an hour later they arrived at Hogwarts. Harry carried Hermione to the hospital wing. He layed her down on a bed and Madam Pomfrey came and cleaned her up and told Harry to leave her and he should stay as well.

Dumbledore walked in and went over to Harry and said “Well done Harry you have defeated Voldemort and rescued Hermione you should be very proud”

“I am sir, but is Hermione going to be alright” asked Harry as he looked at Hermione

“I'm afraid only time can tell Harry, but there is hope that she will survive. She has a permanent scar that Voldemort gave her. The knife he used had an evil magic in it. When it touches your skin it brings back your worst memories” said Dumbledore

Dumbledore looked at Harry and He saw love for Hermione in Harry's eyes. Then he said “There is one thing that can help her gain strength back Harry”

“What is it said” Harry

“A person who cares deeply about another has the ability to build up the strength of the person” said Dumbledore

Harry saw a twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes

“Sleep well Harry” he said and left.

Harry looked at Hermione she was no longer shaking. She looked as if she was not having a nightmare, but a dream.

Harry layed next to her and whispered “I love you Hermione. Please be strong. You can get through this. Voldemort is gone” and he spent the rest of the night looking at Hermione and finally fell asleep.
