Draco stepped forward bravely, wand held in his fist, ready for a fight if needed.

"What are you doing in MY girlfriend's room, Malfoy?" Ron asked, looking innocent.

"What are you doing in here, weasley?" Malfoy retorted, looking at the angry Gryffindor.

Both bys just stared at each other, with Hermione whimpering in the back ground. Neither of them noticed her slipping out of the room and into the bathroom, Ron's blade in her hand.

Hermione crept into the bathroom, and closed the door. She start to shake with relief that she was out of that room. She looked at the sharp blade in her hand, turning it over and looking at how the small light from the bathroom reflect on it, making it glitter. Hermione knew what she had to do, a way to end it, but she couldn't leave without explaining to everyone. She saw a pen and parchment appear by the sink, grabbed it and began to write.

"What do you think you were doing to her" Malfoy roared, leaving all sense of being kind and understanding.

"She is mine, and I ll do what I want with her" Ron shouted back.

Malfoy had had enough with him, thinking he could do what he wanted, if he started with Hermione, He may go for the other girls in the school. Draco leapt onto Ron and started pounding him. Ron was so shocked he didn't even fight back. Draco offered a sharp blow to Ron's nose and with a sickening crack, it broke. Ron yelped in pain, and sprung from the floor and out of the room, to the hospital wing. This isn't the end of it, Malfoy. Ron thought as he ran down the halls to Madame Pomfrey.

Dear mum, dad, Harry, all the weasley, all the teachers of Hogwarts and anyone else who is interested in reading this.

Me, Hermione Granger, Has decided that life is no longer worth living. Ronald Weasley has come to my room, every night since the ball back in march. He has abused me not only mentally, but emotionally, and physically. Rape and beating has been involved. No one acted like they cared, when I needed them most, and to me, my life has long since been over. I'm sure everyone will be loads happier with me gone. I'm sorry mum, dad, you raised me so well, but I can't go on like this. Weasleys, I don't blame you for what your son did to Me., I just can't understand why he did it. Teachers, you've been great to me, all of you. Even though prof.snape always deducted point from us, I always enjoyed potions!

I'd better go now, and do what I have to do. I'm sorry…

Signed.

Miss. Hermione, Jane. Granger.

Hermione was ready. She had said goodbye to everyone she loved, and it was now or never. She forced the blade across her wrist, again and again, as her ed blood spilled down her arms. Hermione began to get dizzy, and her world blacked out, but just before, she saw a flash of bright blond hair that came quickly towards her.

Draco Malfoy pushed his way into the bathroom, after noticing Hermione disappearance. He saw her lying there in the middle of the floor, a piece of parchment laid beside her, and on her wrist was a scarily big amount of blood. Draco ran to her and lifted her gently in his arms. He was surprised at how light she was, but had no time to dwell on that as he hurried to the hospital wing. He burst into the room and Madam pomfrey cam to complain about the noise, but when she saw the lifeless girl in Draco's arms, she shrieked and pointed to a bed while she went to find some healing potions and to also call for the headmaster. Draco quickly laid her on the bed and held her hand, careful not to touch her wrist. Draco looked at her on the bed, and he couldn't help the tears that fell form his eyes. He looked at the girl with tenderness, and he realized that he had fallen in love with Hermione, and fallen hard.

Madam Pomfrey came running out and demanded an explanation, Draco told her he had found her in the bathroom lying on the floor with the blade. He had picked up the parchment, and handed it silently to the Nurse. Madam Pomfrey gasped and felt the tears run down the cheek that something could happen like that to an innocent young girl. Dumbledore, McGonagall and snape came bursting through the doors at that moment, Dumbledore looked angry, McGonagall looked a bit too pale, and Snape looked very worried, which surprised him as he never really showed emotion. Madame pomfrey gave the parchment to Dumbledore who looked furious after he read it, who gave it too McGonagall, who as well as the nurse, couldn't control the tears that fell, Who lastly gave it to snape, who looked as angry as Dumbledore.

"Will she make it Madame?" Snape asked, looking at the pale girl, too the tears soaked nurse. She just looked at him, and shrugged. Everyone in the room was hurt in many ways. Draco because his greatest love was now in between life and death. Dumbledore because he couldn't believe that a student of his was violated in this way. McGonagall because she couldn't help the girl in anyway. Madame Pomfrey because it was up to her for the girl to pull through, and Snape, because even though he didn't really like the Gryffindors, the girl had always been his best student and was very proud of her.

The Weasleys suddenly burst through the door, including Ginny, and Harry was also there.

"We…heard" They all panted. Everyone one of them was given the note and their reactions were different. Ginny and Harry stood there shocked, but also very guilty for not doing anything for Hermione and not noticing. Mrs. Weasley was shocked and she also gave into the tears. Mr.Weasley was furious like Dumbledore and Snape. Fred and George Immediately went over to Hermione and gave her a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. They both straightened up and walked out the door. They soon returned with a struggling Ron in their hands and they dumped him on the floor, fury easy to detect in both their eyes.

"Mom?" Ron questioned, walking over to Mrs.Weasley. She shrunk from him as his dad stepped forward.

"You are no son of ours, go!" He said, quietly but dangerously. Ron looked at all of his family, including Harry, and saw that all of them were looking at him with disgust. He silently walked out of the Hospital wing to pack his bags. He was going to go to the muggle world, but move to Spain, or America, somewhere that he could not only forget all about his magic, but so he could live in shame.

Everyone was waiting anxiously for Hermione to wake, but no matter what, she just wouldn't.

"We've tried everything; we might just have to let her go." The nurse finished.

"Wait..."Draco said. "I have an idea"

Draco walked forward, and bent over Hermione and carefully kissed her on the lips.

Everyone watched, and waited. Draco pulled back and waited. Slowly, Hermione eyes began to flicker, but soon opened fully. She struggled to move and sat up slowly. She looked at everyone's shocked faces. Mrs. and Mr. Weasley came running over to hug her.

Fred and George ran over and gave her a hug and then turned to Draco,

"You saved her. She is like our sister, so thank you" They both smiled and turned back to their family. Draco smiled as the teachers also hugged Hermione, even snape. Draco turned to leave but Hermione looked at him and gestured for him to stay. He grinned and walked over to sit next to Hermione.

Finally Hermione thought, I've got what I always wanted.

Hermione no longer felt cut off from anyone. She had a family and one thing was obvious through out the merry noise that filled the Hospital wing.

Hermione Granger had her life back.

Hermione walked down the aisle toward Draco, smiling happily. Draco looked amazed at how gorgeous she looked. She was wearing a strapless white gown which seemed to glitter when she moved. She had a diamond pendant on with s mall sapphire at the end.

Her hair was in a fancy knot on the back of her head, and she also had little diamonds in her hair. She looked ravishing and everyone couldn't help but smile, as the happiness was very catchy.

They couple said they, I dos and were now a happy couple. One person felt out from the crowd and walked over to Hermione. He tapped her on the shoulder and as she turned around her smile faded away. She looked at Ron and said,

"What d you want?"

"I'm sorry. I wanted to say sorry for everything I did, I know it was wrong, and I was a fool." Ron said sadness in his blue eyes. Hermione looked unsure.

"I…Guess I can forgive you..." Hermione said, unable to stay mad at someone who helped her through several years of her school life.

Ron smiled and left the church. He wasn't staying; he had just wanted Hermione's forgiveness.

When you love someone, you have to let them go. Ron thought sadly, as he left not only the church, but Hermione Granger life.

12 YEARS LATER……

"AMBER!!' Hermione called up the stairs to her oldest daughter. Today was the day Hermione's daughter would leave for Hogwarts.

"Yes mom" came the sweet voice of her eldest. Hermione turned to smile at her. She had waist length straight, blond hair, with brown eyes. She was extremely pretty, something that horrified Draco.

"You ready to leave darling" Hermione asked.

"Yes!" amber said excitedly. She gave her mum a big bear hug and hurried up the stairs to get her thing. Hermione felt arms snake around her waist and she turned to look into the face of her husband, Draco Malfoy. She rested her head on his chest and smiled.

"So…..what house do you think she will be in?" Hermione asked.

"Slythrin…duh" Draco said, grinning at her.

"Err…no…Gryffindor for sure!" Hermione looked into his eyes.

Draco laughed, an as the happy couple and their daughter made their way to the car, still happily arguing what house Amber would be in, You could see that Everything was perfect. At last, Hermione knew her place in the world and That was all she wanted.
