My newest Harry Potter fic, and this time it's a Harry/Hermione fic. I love tsih pairing so I figured I'd write my own. Here's the full summary:
Just a month after the war ended Harry Potter and Hermione Granger vanished, practically vanished into thin air with no trace of either of them left. No one's seen them for two years, and then out of the blue they return with a two year old girl. What happened to them? And why are they good friends with Malfoy and Parkinson?
Slight Ron and Ginny bashing.
Fred and George both survive the war.
Remus and Snape survive.
Malfoys are good after two years and some other Slytherins.
Language, violence, and mentions of forced rape and sex. Can't go into detail cuz of the new rules for 'M' and can't do 'MA' cuz it's not on here.
Enjoy!
Flashback, Hermione's P.O.V.:
They tossed me into my cell, and laughed as I hit the floor.
"Have a nice night girlie." They sneered and locked the door.
It was dark, and it was cold and wet. The floors of my cell resembled that of a dungeon, and a dungeon it be. I had been kept in here for maybe two years, and I was not alone.
"Hermione?" I heard Harry, my dearest friend and protector calling me. "Are you alright? Does it hurt?" he was talking about my leg, which was cut and bleeding. We were abducted in Diagon Alley, while we were helping repair Ollivander's shop, and then we realized after we had awoken that death eaters whom escaped capture from the aurors had taken us.
We were tortured, in their little revenge of losing the war and Harry killing their Lord. In doing so they made us play their little games, and we suffered.
"I'm ok…I will be." He took a wet rag from the corner and a bucket of cold water from the dripping ceilings to clean the wound. "How's Arielle?" Harry looked behind him to a small cot where a little girl was curled up in the sheets.
"Sleeping, they didn't touch her." I sighed in relief, our captors were killers but they knew as long as we did as told they would not harm an innocent child. For Arielle's safety Harry and I both went through hours of torture at the hands of our kidnappers, the Cruciatus, cuttings, beatings, and starvation all fun and games for them. That wasn't even the worst of it.
"Harry…" I felt myself starting to cry. "I don't know how much longer I can take this." As soon as he finished cleaning my wound he pulled me into his arms and over to Arielle's bed.
"It'll be alright Hermione, I'm not sure how but we'll make it out of this. Me, you, and Arielle we'll all get out of here somehow." I wanted to believe him, even in his arms I could believe him and as much as I wanted to…I still had my doubts. If anything I just hoped Arielle would be safe.
"Potter, Granger." Both of our heads snapped over to see…Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy?
"Malfoy what…?" Malfoy put a finger to his lips and Parkinson came over magically unlocking the cell door.
"We're getting you out of here, come on." They motioned for us but I couldn't quite walk, at least not right.
"Hermione…she can't walk right, her leg's injured." Parkinson came over and helped me up, and Harry carefully picked up Arielle.
"Wait…" they all looked at me. "How did you find us, and why are you helping us?"
"We'll explain later, besides we owe you two for saving us from Azkaban." I just nodded and while Malfoy walked in front Harry stayed between us and Malfoy. We snuck out of the dungeons, and then as we passed a hall I noticed a crest on several parts of the walls; the Parkinson Crest.
"Like Pansy said we'll explain later, right now we have to leave." Malfoy led us to the floo. "Where can we take you?"
"Get us to St. Mungo's if you can." Harry spoke up carefully holding Arielle.
"Um Potter…no offense but that's the last place I think you'd want to go right now."
"He's right Harry."
"I know a better place, quickly get in." the chimney expanded for us, and as we all jumped in Malfoy grabbed a handful of powder and shouted. "Number 12 Grimmauld Place."
End flashback:
It had been almost a week since we escaped, Malfoy and Parkinson, whom we now addressed as Draco and Pansy, had been helping us since they rescued us. It seems I was correct, Harry and I had been gone for nearly two years and everyone hadn't quite stopped worrying about us.
After we came here Harry asked Draco and Pansy to keep this a secret because we both had a lot of recovery coming. Not just for us but for Arielle, she may not have been hurt but she witnessed some of the torture and she wouldn't leave me or Harry's sight.
"Hermione?" I was in my room holding a sleeping Arielle in my arms and Harry came in. "Are you alright?" I wasn't, and neither was he but I tried to stay strong.
"No…" he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head. "We may have escaped Harry, but…I still feel trapped here." His hold around me tightened a little.
"I know, I feel the same." Harry and I had become much closer during our imprisonment at that place, and Pansy said that she didn't know what was going on since she spent most of her time at the Malfoys, and that she was ashamed of her parents.
"I want to go back to our old lives, but…" he stopped me with a finger to my lips.
"I do too, but I don't think we can be normal anymore. Not without Arielle." I held the little girl, my little girl to my chest again. Arielle was my daughter and Harry's as well; born from a sick joke the death eaters used for a show on us. "Look, I talked to Draco and he thinks we should at least let someone besides them know we're here, someone we can trust to keep this secret."
"You mean like…Remus?" Remus had survived the war but Tonks hadn't, her death was a great loss to him and the rest of us. But at least Teddy would have his father in his life.
"I was thinking him and Snape."
"Snape? But Harry he…"
"Hermione that man has kept secrets for years; I think we can trust him. He did help us after all." True, after Snape somehow survived Nagini's attack Harry testified that everything he had done was planned between him and Dumbledore, and had the memories to prove it.
"When?"
"Draco and Pansy said they'd get them when we're ready." I leaned into him and stroked Arielle's hair. "If you're not ready I understand." I shook my head.
"No…no I am ready to see Remus. He is the only one we can trust to keep this quiet until we're both able to handle everything." He rocked me and Arielle began to stir.
"Ok, I'll tell Draco and he'll get Snape and Remus down here in no time." He kissed my head. "Come downstairs with me, you look like you could use some air." I nodded and lifted Arielle with me. Harry led us downstairs and there in the living room were Pansy and Draco.
"Hey Hermione." Pansy came over and gently hugged me. After we came here Pansy apologized for everything she had done in school to us and swore up and down she had no idea what had happened to us after we vanished, but Harry and I just told her to wipe the slate clean with us, start over and she agreed along with Draco.
"So…?" Draco stood up.
"Bring Snape and Remus here as quickly as you can." Draco nodded and left through the floo. Pansy let me sit down with Arielle and she began to wake.
"Mmm…mummy." She looked up at me with her green eyes, the same as Harry's.
"Hey baby, sleep ok?" she nodded and reached for Harry.
"Daddy." Harry smiled and took her from my arms.
"She's adorable." Pansy smiled. Arielle seemed to like her and Draco, but she only let me or Harry hold her. Just before I could speak, the floo went off and Draco stepped out with Remus and Snape behind him. The two older men looked at us with shock and surprise, but Remus was the only one with tears in his eyes.
"Harry…Hermione…" he ran forward and hugged me, and then Harry joined in. We sobbed in each other's arms, and then Remus pulled back. "I can't believe it…you're both…?"
"Easy there Remus." Snape patted Remus on the shoulder. "Remember what I told you." Remus let us go and stepped back a foot.
"How…how did this happen?" Remus was looking at Arielle, her face buried in Harry's neck.
"Harry…let me." he nodded and passed her to me.
"Remus, before Hermione and I say anything you have to promise us…" he looked at Snape. "Both of you have to promise us that nothing of this conversation leaves this room. Hermione and I will talk more when we're ready to tell anyone else." Remus and Snape both nodded.
"Pansy and I already swore, but we don't know the full story." Draco stood next to Pansy and she held his hand.
"I won't say anything, I promise."
"Neither will I." Harry and I sat down on the couch, and then the two elder men sat on the chairs.
"We can't tell you all, because of Arielle." I motioned to her. "You can ask questions, but…please don't ask anything that she might understand." Remus nodded.
"Go on then Harry, start from the beginning."
Just a small prologue, others will come sometime soon but it make be after I try and finish one of my other fics. It'll make it easier to understand during other chapters.
Any questions then feel free to ask.
R&R please!
Later!
