Broken But Beautiful~Dramione

Chapter thirty three

"Everyone ready?" Kingsley examined the ranks he had chosen, as well as the ones who volunteered. The remainder of the Order of the Phoenix, graduates of Hogwarts who were in Dumbledore's army, Draco, and a few staff members of Hogwarts including Professor McGonagall and Humfrey were there. Upon receiving nods, everyone linked arms and disapparated.

"Remember everybody, stick to the plan. Don't go off doing your own thing, and be safe. The anti apparition charms are up so Nott won't be able to escape that way." Remus said. Once everybody formed the circle around the house he nodded to Kingsley, marking the beginning of the rescue.

On Kingsley's signal, a rock was thrown at the house. And the protective enchantments were exposed. Every other person stepped forward and cast spells to break it. As soon as it began to flake, every four people began to run at the house and cast spells at the protective barrier from a close proximity. However one thing happened that nobody anticipated. Nott appeared at the front door, and held Hermione in front of him as a shield.

"If you want a fight, have one." He yelled.

"Hermione come here it's okay. It's us." Harry ran forward so she could see him. Hope fluttered in his chest as she seemed to recognize him, but then she cast a spell at him, carrying him backwards and caused him to fall painfully on the ground.

"Hermione stop. This isn't you." Draco tried, but he too was blasted backwards.

"Leave us alone." She glared. New cuts, scars, and bruises were visible on her body, but she seemed to not realize she was protecting the person who inflicted that pain on her.

"Hermione come on it's us. If you just come over we'll help you." Remus tried. Theodore looked pleased and didn't even attempt to hold Hermione in case she decided to go.

"No." She shook her head and sent a spell at Remus who successfully deflected it.

"This isn't you. You're Hermione Granger." Remus tried again and took a few more steps forward.

"No I'm not...And this is your last warning to leave." Hermione added after Theodore whispered something into her ear.

"I won't go." Kingsley stepped forward.

"Neither will we." Arthur and Molly stepped forward together.

"Or me." Professor McGonagall walked to stand beside Remus.

Confusion flickered across Hermione's face but it vanished as soon as it had appeared.

"Your decision." She smirked and ran forward. Theodore took shelter in the house, and Hermione began to attack.

"Stop. We're here to help you." Remus shouted as he deflected multiple spells.

"Help me? You're the people who hurt me. Who wanted me dead." Hermione hissed.

"Hermione it's us. You're family." Molly and Arthur stepped forward. They had indeed cared for her as if she was their own daughter.

"Stop calling me Hermione. You guys left me to die at the hands of Voldemort." Hermione stunned them before whirling around to face the next person to approach her. Three quarters of the other people who came to help had already gone to deal with Theodore inside.

"Hermione we can help you." Professor McGonagall tried again.

"Lies!" Hermione turned around furiously to find the location of the person who said that and made eye contact with her old Professor. "You just want to shame me for being muggle born."

"Hermione that's not true." Ron protested and Harry nodded beside him. She whipped around to Harry and Ron who recovered and stood on their feet.

"That's not my name. And you both just want to take advantage of me again like last time." Hermione narrowed her eyes menacingly.

"That was Theodore remember? It was him!" Harry gestured to the man who was being led from the house, who seemed to look quite content.

"You used me for my brains, and abused me too. Theodore was the one who saved me." Hermione held her wand out in front of her and begun advancing on the two boys. She was limping and it appeared that something in her right leg was causing her pain.

"What's gotten into you?" Draco came into her view.

"You." Hermione lunged at him and suddenly felt ropes binding her hands and ankles together. Harry and Remus helped her to her feet as she struggled against them. "Let me go." She snapped and viciously twisted her body in an attempt to escape their grasp. "You're the reason mudblood is carved into my arm. The one who never let me forget how impure I was, and that I didn't fit in."

"Hermione I told you, I'm sorry." Draco looked stunned. Those were things that unlike the others, he couldn't deny.

"My name is not Hermione!" She screamed.

"Okay okay. What is it?" Harry asked calmly.

"It's...it's...I don't remember but it isn't Hermione." She shook her head.

"What else can you tell us about yourself?" Remus asked.

"I-I don't-I don't know. Stop asking me questions." Hermione struggled against the bonds even harder.

"Please. I'm sorry." Draco pleaded.

"It's true isn't it? So don't tell me Theodore lied to me!" Hermione's expression begin to look more and more crazed.

"Everything else he said to you was lies." Kingsley assured.

Hermione relaxed for a second, and as soon as Harry and Remus's grip on her loosened she whacked her head into Harry's. He let go of her and clutched his head in pain, while Hermione attempted to kick Remus and get away.

"I'm sorry." Harry apologized in advance and forcefully tripped her and got her on the floor.

"Stop hurting me! That's all you've ever done to me!" Hermione yelled.

"Harry!" Remus tossed him a vial of liquid, and Harry forced it down Hermione's throat. She squirmed feebly for a few seconds before losing consciousness.

"What happened in there?" Professor McGonagall whispered.

"I don't know. But we're going to fix this." Kingsley looked determined.

"Now what do we do?" Remus for once, looked lost. They tried so hard to get Hermione back before it was too late, and now they have her but she wasn't herself.

"Take her to Poppy. She'll know what to do." Professor McGonagall took Hermione into her arms, and apparated back to Hogwarts.
