Never

A/N: Now that I have my own laptop I will be updating probably at least everyday or every other day. So I know that will make all of you guys happy. Here's chapter 8!

---

As they reached Dumbledore’s office McGonagall was coming out, a small perplexed look on her face. “Miss Granger, good thing that you are here, the Headmaster would like to talk to you about what happened.” she said.

“Ok, but I don’t know the password. Well I don’t remember it that is.” She felt so stupid, how could she not remember his password? The head's were given the passwords to all password locked doors.

She turned to the griffin and said ‘Swiss Fish’, the griffin began to turn and spiraled up to show a staircase. They walked up to the large oak doors that are Dumbledore’s. She had been up those stair too many times, and everytime it was not a good thing. Something had always happened to Harry for her to come up to this office, now it was her turn.

“Take a seat Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy. Would you like to tell me what happened. I have heard Harry’s version from Professor McGonagall, here.” he nodded in McGonagall’s direction.

“I’m not sure that I really remember all of it. All I know is, after our second class I went to get some books and those four were in there." she gestured towards the four Slytherins. "They stunned me and put a silencing charm on me, and then put me in a box. Anything after that I don’t remember, until Draco, Harry, and Ron showed up.” She felt like a moron.

Dumbledore sat there thinking for awhile. “Mr. Wilson, will you please inform me why Miss Granger here does not remember anything.” he looked over to Shane with a look that could kill. None of the students had ever seen Dumbledore with a look like that before, he had always seemed so calm and collected.

“Well, duh, when we put the silencing charm on her it wasn’t a normal one it had a memory charm in it as well. All I had to do was simple say what I didn’t want her to remember, and there you go no memory of it at all.” Shane said smirking a smirk that could almost rival Draco, almost.

Hermione got up and slapped him. “How could you? You bloody bastard. What the bloody hell did you do to me?” all the venom in her voice poured out to drown them.

Draco had gotten up to help hold her back. “Hermione come sit back down. Let the professor’s handle this.” he said while pulling her back causing him to fall into the chair with her in his lap, where she almost collasped into his warmth.

“There you go Draco, you got your mud blood girlfriend back, no harm done.”

They both jumped up ready to throw all pretences out the window and jump them, but Professor McGonagall held them back. “No, Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy take your seats, please. Now Mr. Wilson would you please tell us what you did to Miss Granger and please take the memory charm off her.”

Shane looked over to Hermione and then back to McGonagall. “I’m not sure she wants to remember, Professor.” Hermione cleared her throat.

“Can I have a word with you, Professor’s?” Shane said a little scared, a miniscule tremble in his voice gave him away.

“No, I think not anything you have to say you can say in front of me. So spill.” I said even though I wasn’t too sure I wanted to now what they had done to me. What if it was really bad? Could I honestly live with that type of information?

“Yes Mr. Wilson I think she has the right to know and then if she does not believe you then you will take the memory charm off, unless she does not want to believe it.” Dumbledore said.

“Well?” I said tapping my foot. I had to put of proud unscared facade, there was no way I was going to let them know that I was scared to death of what he was about to say to me.

“Ok, ok. For one there is no possible way you should be standing.” he stated as if it was as simple as the ABC's.

I looked at him like he was stupid. “What do you mean?” I said, scared of what the answer was going to be. It seemed that I was going to be scared a lot right now.

“We used a number of unforgivable curses on you, but that was after we raped you.” he said all of this so calmly like nothing was wrong with it.

I got up and stormed out of the room crying. When I got out I screamed. “WHY ME?” How could someone be so cruel, just because of a stupid letter that didn't mean anything?

“Mr. Malfoy please go get her. We have a lot of things to explain.” McGonagall said.

“Yes ma’am.” He jumped up and ran out the door and caught up with me. “Hermione, McGonagall wants you back up there. She says ‘there are a lot of things to explain.’ Don’t ask, I have no idea.” he stopped me. He didn't seem too fazed by this whole ordeal either. How could he be so calm when his friends had just admitted to rapping and torturing his girlfriend?

“I don’t think I can go back up there, Draco. I don’t want to see their faces. I don’t even know if it’s true, but I want to know. I think I do at least.” We started back to Dumbledore’s office. “Draco… um… I’m sorry for everything I said. I guess I should have asked you if it was true. But was it?” I said right as we got to the door. I needed to know before I walked into the lions den, so to speak, I needed to know that I had him by my side.

“Yes sort of. See I was talking to Shane and he asked me if I really liked you or if I only wanted to break you. I told him that I didn’t know, that you balanced me out but that it would be nice to… err… um… break you.” he said his face getting redder with every word. He hid his face and I reached up and laid a hand on his cheek guiding his eyes back to mine.

“Ok, well I’m glad you told me the truth and we can talk about it more later. But now we have to go back in there.” I pointed my thumb at the door. We walked in together and sat back down in our seperate chairs.

“Miss Granger nice of you to join us again. Back to where we were. Do you want your memory back or would you like to believe that it is not true. And wonder for the rest of you days?”

He always has a tone that says that he already knows your answer. I thought to myself. “Um… yes I would like to have my memory back. I don’t want to live my life from day to day wondering if what that blubbering bastard said is true.” I said with a look of disgust on my face. How could someone so cute really be that evil?

“Alright but I must warn you, Granger, that once I lift the memory charm you will relive every curse, every touch, and you will see everything that happened. Now do you still want it back. I don’t think you can take it.” he said and with every word his smirk grew bigger. He knew he was getting to ego, he knew that she didn't ever back down from a challenge and that was exactly what he was doing; challenging her to take that plunge into the darkness.

“Yes I do, and where do you get off telling me what I can take.”

He just smirked. He raised his wand, said the incantation, and sat back down. Not even a minute later I was in a trance. It was sort of like watching a movie (A/N: A very bad movie.). I saw everything and felt everything, just like he said, up until the silencing charm was lifted and then it all ended. When I came out of the trance everyone in the room was looking at me with horror in their eyes.

“What?” I managed to say with what little voice I had left.

“You were screaming… a lot.” Draco said, nervous of hurting my feelings.

“Of course she was, didn’t you hear what I said before I took the spell of her. She screamed when it happened we just couldn’t hear her because we had to leave the silencing charm on her. Now I’m beginning to wish that we had taken it off before…”

Draco had gotten up and punched him. “How could you do this to her? She never did anything to you. You… oh… I hope the Professor’s punish you very well or I might have to do some punishing of my own.” he said and then sat back down, constantly rubbing his hands together to keep them busy so he wouldn't be tempted to jump up again and strangle him.

“Now, now, Mr. Malfoy there will be no need for that. They will get a worthy punishment for what happened. You four go wait outside. I believe the Headmaster and I have something to explain to Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy.” The four kidnappers got up and walked out the door.

“Ok. Miss Granger, you are probably wondering how you are here. How you survived that.” Dumbledore said once the door closed. I nodded and never took my eyes off him. Where is he going with this? “You are not a muggle-born witch.”

My eyes widened. “Wh-what do you mean?” my voice was shaking. "How was that possible when both my parents were muggle born?"

“You are a pureblood witch. Your parent’s are James Mathew Lee and Mary Kathleen Lee, and you are Marie Anne Lee. You and your family are one of the oldest pureblood clans left.” he paused and I looked to Draco who just sat there wide-eyed and dazed. “You are not meant to be in Gryffindor your whole family from the very beginning has been in Slytherin. And I must say try not to get too angry until you have learned to control your powers, which should be coming in soon. We don’t need anybody being injured too badly. Now off you two go we must deal with the trouble makers.” he said and motioned us to the door. “Oh… and Miss Lee you will be moved to the Slytherin house immediately.”

I nodded too shocked to say anything.

“Wow! I always thought that you had Slytherin traits.” Malfoy said when we had gotten to the bottom of the stairs.

“I know what you mean. I just wonder what my powers are going to be. But until I know I have to keep my cool and with Harry, Ron, and Ginny around that’s going to be really hard to do. They’re going to want an explanation.” I stood there for moment thinking of what to do and then it hit me. “Just ignore them… duh.”

Draco just laughed. “How about we just work it out when the time comes.” he said with a smirk.

“Alright ruin my fun then. You know it’s going to take some getting used to and plus I have to worry about my powers.” I frowned. Man I have to much on my plate to think about at the moment. I have to stay focused and try not to get mad.

“Don’t worry I’ll keep you safe.” Draco put his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him then kissed me.

We walked to the Head common room in silence mostly, every now and then we would say something, but otherwise complete silence. When we got there we both said “Periwinkle” at the same time, and walked in to find that the colors were already different, everything was green and silver instead of the mix of both Slytherin’s colors and Gryffindor’s. When had both head's ever been from the same house? I wondered.
