A field outside Godric's Hollow, Cheshire, England

26th December 1997

Boxing Day is a day of celebration, of fun and games, of leftover turkey and visiting relatives. It is a day in which Muggles would go and spend their daytime hours watching football matches and massive sales on clothes and electrical goods. It would also be the day where people relaxed and watched television with their families, not worrying about working for another day.

However, for two people, camping in a tent in a field outside of Godric's Hollow in Cheshire, suffering the stress of hunting for Horcruxes, a container of which is carrying the soul of Tom Riddle, also known to people as Lord Voldemort, stress which was getting to the pair of them.

Hermione Granger, a muggle-born witch whose friends call her the 'Greatest Witch of Her Age' had just woken up when she had felt discomfort by the junction of her legs. Limping round the tent, she searched around it looking to see where her friend, Harry Potter, was. Finding him, she noticed him, lying in bed, his pyjamas dishevelled, fast asleep.

Sitting in the lounge area of the tent, she cast a diagnostic spell, wondering what was wrong with her, intent on finding out why she was experiencing discomfort. Eventually she found that the reason for her discomfort was that her hymen was torn. 'Probably the fight that caused it to tear. It is a dead cert!' Hermione thought, waving her wand in a complicated pattern, repairing the affected area. 'I must be more careful in these fights as I could injure myself even worse!'

Once the discomfort had subsided, and her hymen was repaired, Hermione headed back to Harry to rub some burn salve onto his chest, the burns being from where the locket of Salazar Slytherin had stuck to his chest when he had fought off Nagini, Voldemort's familiar and another Horcrux.

Rubbing the burn salve on his chest, her eyes travelled downwards to notice the erection that Harry was sporting. 'My, that is big!' Hermione thought, trying her hardest to concentrate on the task in hand.

During the rest of the day, Hermione had only two thoughts going through her mind, moving to a safe place away from Godric's Hollow, with trying to get closer to Harry, emotionally, as she knew she had feelings for him.

26th January 1998

The next few weeks after the eventful Christmas Day at Godric's Hollow had been boring for Harry and Hermione. After visiting several locations within the United Kingdom, searching for Horcruxes. One of the places they visited, thanks to help from Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood, was Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The only problem that Hermione had noticed was that over five different times she had woke up with discomfort in the junction of her legs and where her hymen was. Each of the five times she had noticed it, she thought back to the previous day, trying to remember if she had been in any fights against any Death Eaters.

The fifth time, the 26th January, Hermione noticed that she was feeling worse than the previous time that she had woke up with the discomfort. Suffering from the soreness, she crept through the tent, heading to where Harry was. Entering Harry's bedroom, she noticed he was asleep, albeit his pyjama trousers being on the floor instead of on him, leaving him only in his socks.

'Could Harry have raped me?' she thought, confused at why she was always in pain in the morning. 'Is that why I have been sore in the last few mornings?' Heading to her bag to get some parchment and a quill, Hermione contemplated the situation. 'I think that Tonks would know what to do.' She sat down at a table near to her bag. "Kreacher!" Hermione called out, hoping that Harry would not hear her call the elf.

Kreacher appeared in front of her, bowing to her. "What does Master's Miss Granger want?" he asked, waiting for instructions. Hermione wrote a note on the parchment, hoping that the pink haired Auror would help her by giving her some advice.

"I need you to take this note to Nymphadora Tonks, as quick as you can, then I need you to await her summons for any return letters." She said, hoping that Kreacher would comply with her instructions.

"As you wish Master's Miss Granger," Kreacher said, popping away with the note. Hermione sighed, not knowing about the how outcome of her letter would affect both hers and Harry's reputations.

Riverbank Cottage, Sevenoaks, Kent, England

26th January 1998

Nymphadora Tonks had just tripped over her mother's coffee table for the third time that morning when she suddenly heard a pop. Looking to see what had caused it, she noticed the Head Elf to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, Kreacher. She growled at him, displeased with his presence. 'What is that traitorous bastard doing here after betraying Sirius to Aunt Narcissa and Aunt Bellatrix? I ought to kill him!"

Kreacher looked at Tonks and presented to her the note that Hermione had wrote. "Masters Miss Granger has instructed me to await your summons when you intend to reply." He growled, displeased with the look that Tonks gave him. "If Kreacher may, Kreacher will return to his duties until he is summoned."

Tonks waved him away dismissively, sitting down on the chair that he father preferred. 'What does Hermione want that is so important for me to summon Kreacher with a reply?' she thought, unfolding the note. Quickly reading what Hermione had wrote, trying to decipher it between the tearstains, she was in shock by the end of it.

"Tonks

While we are on the hunt for certain items, over the last few weeks, I've noticed that when I wake up, I have been feeling some discomfort. I cast a diagnosis spell and found out that my hymen was torn.

I think Harry is raping me but I need proof of it. What do I do?

Hermione"

'It is impossible, surely. Harry raping Hermione? He wouldn't hurt a fly!' she thought, getting up and grabbing her robes. 'Í think I need to speak to Master Auror Zeller about this. She will know what to advise.'

Tonks rushed out of the house, note in hand, hoping to catch her friend. Little did Tonks know what the consequences would come from that discussion!

4th February 1998

Hermione had just woken up from, what was for her, a very rough night. A few nights ago, she had placed around the tent some surveillance orbs that Tonks had managed to obtain from her fellow Auror, Master Auror Jacqueline Zeller, one of the few Aurors that had remained with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement; acting under the radar in the Death Eater managed Ministry of Magic.

She was about to view the footage when she suddenly had an urge to rush to the bathroom to vomit. She ran to the bathroom compartment of the tent where she evacuated most of the previous days evening meal. 'That's strange!' she thought, having finally stopped vomiting. She mentally calculated the last time that she had undergone a period, remembering that it was the middle of December. 'That is strange. Surely Harry hasn't? Has he? I thought I could trust him.'

She grabbed her wand, dropping her pyjamas down, pointing it at the junction between her legs where the pain and discomfort that she had undergone the previous weeks. "Examen Gravditate" she incanted, thinking that if the sickness could be morning sickness, then she should do a pregnancy test on herself.

The wand sent a light to her, which turned blue, meaning she was pregnant with a boy. 'Fucking Potter. That is it, I am leaving the raping bastard' she thought, getting dressed. Once she had done, she summoned everything in the tent that was hers, including most of the parchment, and placed it in her Undetectable Extension bag.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard a ruffling of the flaps coming from Harry's bedroom. 'Shit, I need to get out of here quickly!' she thought, scared of him.

"Wait, Hermione, what have you done with all of your stuff?" she heard from behind her. She turned around, bringing her fist, connecting it with his face, hitting him.

With that, Hermione Granger left Harry, not realising that the surveillance orbs were left in situ in the tent, along with the evidence that could have made all of the difference to her.

Granger Residence, Alcester, Warwickshire, England

4th February 1998

Hermione apparated to her childhood home in nearby Alcester in tears. She could not believe what she had realised about the man she had once loved, the one that she had wanted to marry, the one she wished she would spend the rest of her life with, had he not done what he had to her.

"Why Harry? Why did you do this to me?" she sobbed, entering the house. It had been left undamaged, despite being the house of a muggle-born, the fact of which had surprised Hermione completely. In tears, she headed for the study, where her dad, Adam Granger, would do his paperwork for his dentist surgery. Moving the photograph above the mahogany chest, she revealed the door of a safe.

She dialled in some numbers, these being the dates of her mothers, fathers and own dates of birth, taking care not to speed past them when twisting the dial. Eventually it unlocked, revealing the contents of which were fifty thousand pounds, her passport and a note that she had inserted before leaving for The Burrow during the summer. Once she had read the note, she remembered the location within Australia where she had sent her parents, along with instructions for the Memory Retrieval Charm that she had found when researching the Memory Charms that she used on them.

Once she returned everything to the correct places, she checked the times for the Midland Red West bus that she could use, thinking she would avoid places which have a large amount of Wizards in, meaning that Birmingham and parts of Central London were out for her, in order to make her way to Heathrow Airport, and a flight to see her parents.

The Dentistry, Buckley Street, Sydenham, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

6th February 1998

Hermione had just got off the Sydney CityRail at Sydenham, having boarded the system at International Airport Station on the Airport and East Hills line, changing at Wolli Creek to the Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra line. When at the airport she had used a copy of the Yellow Pages in order to trace her parents, who she had renamed to Wendell and Monica Wilkins, in order to protect them. She had managed to trace them to a Dentists Surgery in Sydenham.

"Hermione!" a female voice from behind her shouted. She held onto her wand, which was in her pocket, in order to be ready to cast a spell if it was required on the person who had called her. She turned around, ready to confront the person when she had recognised whom it was. She ran towards that person and hugged her.

"Mom…I'm…" she sobbed, her head in her mothers shoulders. Sophie Granger was just happy, she had her little girl back. Together the two of them headed to the flat above the Dentist Surgery where Sophie held her daughters hand.

"Hermione, baby girl, is the war over?" Sophie asked, glad that she had her daughter back. "Did Harry win?" Upon mention of Harry's name, Hermione burst into tears. Sophie hugged her daughter, confused at what was wrong. "Hermione, what's wrong? Is Harry dead?"

"Its Harry…he…he raped me." Hermione said. "The bastard raped me…and I'm pregnant!"
