New Beginnings
Chapter Fifteen
“Bill, wake her and see if she knows where Hermione is,” said Arthur, indicating the small girl who lay bound on the floor. Then pointing his wand at his wife, he said, “Mobilicorpus!”
Arthur moved his wife’s inert body to a room on the other side of Ron’s flat. Harry and the twins followed, leaving Severus with Charlie, Bill and Draco to question the girl.
“I can’t believe Mom was really here,” whispered Charlie. “I knew she would be, but actually seeing her here is… well, it is just unbelievable.”
“I know what you mean,” agreed Bill. “Ennervate!”
The girl woke with a start, blinking up from the floor at the four wizards staring down at her menacingly.
“Who… Who are you? What do you want? What did you do to me? Why can’t I move?” The girl was struggling against her bonds.
“Who we are is of no importance,” said Severus in his most intimidating classroom voice. “We are here to find Miss Granger. What have you and Mr. Weasley done with her?”
“I don’t know who you are talking about. What have you done to me? Why can’t I move?”
“I don’t believe you,” growled Severus. “Tell me where Hermione is NOW!”
“I don’t know anyone named Hermione,” cried the girl, shaking with fear.
“If you don’t tell me right now, I swear I’ll…,” Severus growled, pointing his wand at the girl.
“Severus, stop!” interrupted Draco, placing a restraining hand on Severus’ arm. “Let me see if I can get anything out of her.”
Kneeling down, Draco looked the girl in the eyes, holding his wand in her line of vision but not pointing it at her.
“Do you know what this is?” Draco asked as if speaking to a small child.
“Yes! It’s a stick.”
Draco nodded and waved his wand over her head muttering something. Then he stood and turned toward the others. “She is undoubtedly a Muggle, but I can tell she has been healed recently by magic, and I think her memories have been modified also.”
Severus pushed Draco out of the way and knelt beside the girl. Pointing his wand at her, he met her eyes and said, “Legilimens!”
After sifting in her mind for only a few seconds, he pulled back, panting slightly, and nodded. “Yes, her memories have been modified.”
Before the others could respond, Harry and the twins burst out of the room they were in, and Harry cried, “She’s in the basement.”
As they ran down the hall, they heard Arthur yell, “Ron’s there also, hurry!”
Thundering down the stairs, the seven wizards raced to save Hermione before it was too late.

Hermione watched Ron wave his wand and felt incredibly cold. Ron knelt beside her and ran his hand down her leg, starting at her now-bare hip.
‘He spelled away my clothes! Oh, God, I couldn’t stand it if he…’
Her thoughts were interrupted by him muttering another spell which forced her legs to spread apart. She was utterly exposed, and trembled with the knowledge of what was to come.
“You’ve been a very bad girl, Hermione. Do you remember what happens when you point a wand at me?” Ron murmured, almost lovingly, as he continued to stroke her.
She blinked and prayed for the darkness to overtake her. As Hermione’s eyes fluttered shut, Ron slapped her with all his strength, and she tasted blood in her mouth.
“No, wench, you will not be passing out this time,” he snarled. “I let you get away with that before, but NOT this time. You will learn this lesson if I have to beat you BLOODY to get it through that incredibly THICK head of yours. And I want you to watch me do it. Keep your eyes OPEN.”
He slapped her again, and again. Fumbling with his belt, he pulled his trousers down to his knees. Positioning himself between her legs, he crawled on top of her and kissed her forcefully. She felt like retching when he pried her mouth open and shoved his tongue inside.
Hermione wanted nothing more than to bite that tongue, to push him off of her and flee, but she couldn’t move. She was bound there, he was going to rape her, and there wasn’t a thing she could do about it. No one was coming to help her, he would probably kill her this time, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
He had stopped kissing her and started licking and biting at her breasts now. She felt him shift his weight and prod his cock between her legs. She closed her eyes waiting for him to enter her, but instead she heard a crash as the door to her cell was thrown open with such force it embedded in the cement wall.
“Stupefy!” a familiar voice yelled, and Ron’s body slumped onto hers.
“Hermione? Can you hear me?” a voice as smooth as silk asked. She opened her eyes and saw a blurry mass of black.
“An angel...” she whispered before she lost consciousness.

AN::: As always I would like to thank my fabulous betas Allison and Piper. Sorry this update was so long in coming. Real life captured both myself and my betas and forced us to life in the ‘real’ world rather then in here where we belong. In the next chapter Hermione is at St. Mungos, again.

So sorry to read that you had to write this from real life experience. Nobody should have to go through anything like this. This story is so plausible it is frightening, and I guess we now know why. I hope writing this helped you and very glad to see you are not in that relationship anymore. Thanks for a compelling read and my thoughts go to you for love and healing for the rest of your life.
Wow! Great story! I wish this kind of thing happened in real life as well - where the abuser/rapist was given the harshest possible sentence and the woman was protected by all means necessary. I like your world in which that happens. Too much of the time of course, the judge gives out a useless restraining order or worse, doesn't believe the person making the charges and she gets killed by her abuser. I can't wait to finish this story. Thanks for writing it.
Very well written! Congratulations for having the courage to leave your ex! That takes a LOT of strength and determination to do, so kudos to you!

ii do love when ron gets smacked down i have always felt JKR never shouldhave married ron and hermione!
Thank you so much. It's a great story and really well written. I had enjoyed it up to the point that you mentioned your personal experience. That knocked the wind out of me to be honest.
It's hard to believe how cruelly people can treat each other. Hope writing brings you some relief. x
Really liked the story, just one thing bothers me greatly. On your warnings list, you have BDSM listed, and nothing in your story is true BDSM. I would ask that you research what true BDSM is before trying to pass off rape and sickness as something that has nothing to do with it. Yes, BDSM is different than regular sex, but everything is consentual, no one is taken against their will and forced into acts they don't want to be in. There are numerous safety guildlines used in almost all places, and while, yes sometimes things happen, and someone gets hurt, its not rape, not anger or hate or violance in any way shape or form. BDSM gets a bad rep because of luntics that use it as an excuse to be sick and hurt others without their consent, and polute something that can be truely beautiful. And yes, there are a lot of things claiming to be BDSM, that are not really truely about the power exchange that happens in a BDSM relationship. So again, please consider researching BDSM and try to understand why rape and violance has nothing to do with healthy BDSM. Thank you for a wonderful story.

,Thank you for your comments in your review. I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond, but I kinda lost the password to this acct and it took me forever to find it again.As far as your concerns about me equating BDSM with rape, I would like to first say that No BDSM isnt rape when performed in its proper fashion. However, there are many people in the world who see tieing your girlfriend to the bed posts and have consentual sex with her as just as perverse as rape. I personally am not one of these people.Second, I am sure you have come across authors who over rate and over warn just to be on the safe side. This is what I have done. I would rather warn someone of BDSM to prepare them for something they might not be interested in then to not warn them for it and get blasted or even removed from the site by the mods.I am sorry you feel that I was demeaning a lifestyle and those who participate in it. I did not mean to offend, just to caution.Thank you,nogod1215

Thank you for clearing that up. I understand over rating a story rather than underrating and getting the story pulled. I feel strongly about this, because I've been on both sides, raped and in the lifestyle. They couldn't be more different. It would mean the world to me and other if you would be willing to write a note at the bottom, disclaiming that what was written isn't bdsm, it's pure rape. This would again, mean alot to me and also clear up any possible confusion. :) Thank you again!Alanavawn

,I changed the warnings to not include the BDSM warning. If the mods want to contact me about it I will deal with it then.nogod1215
Response from AlanaVawn (Reviewer)
THANK YOU! I really appreciate that you did that! I didn't want to ask you to do that, simply because I understand why authors have to be careful about not reporting things, but that's so wonderful of you! Thank you!!!!! :)Alanavawn
A heartfelt Thank you or providing the DV Hotline here. Why not see if anyone around here knows the UK equivalent since we have so many from the Old Country as readers and autors here?
The description of Ron 'giving up' on a job and deiding to booze to make up for it sounds eerily like Marvolo and Morfans Gaunt. Hmmm. Did you pictue that while writing this?
That was a very intense story. Some aspects of the characterization were way off. I don't mean canon off, as in real life reactions off. However, looking beyond that, this was a very intense story.
And so we have reached the end. An excellent story, and painful. both you and I as well as billions of women and millions of men have been through abusive relationships.
Abuse is a sneaky thing and starts out like a small virus. It can be little things at first, Jealousy, extra overprotectiveness, OBSESSION with most, if not ALL aspects of ones life, then it progresses faster from there, usually manifesting in physical abuse. But dont forget! Abuse can be Physical, mental and emotional. Even spiritual (Think REV. JIM JONES) AND men, YES men can be victims too! It does not have to be your partner. It can be a friend, relative etc. Domestic Violence charges can be filed against ANYONE who has abused you in any way. One does not have to be involved in a sexual relationship or even living with the person. Once again the National Domestic Violence Hotline Toll-FREE number is 1(800)799-SAFE (7233). If you or someone you know are being abused or suspect that you or they are, CALL. Help is out there! PLEASE, take it from me and the author of this story's footnote. Remember if they are violent, especially extremely violent, like RON was in here, DO NOT CONFRONT THEM ALONE! It will incite more anger if you are threatining them with leaving or calling the police and could get you seriously hurt or (sorry to say) killed. Wait until you can slip away (but dont wait long!! I left when my EX husband passed out drunk and left that day. He woke up in jail with a lifetime restraining order from me. But mak3e sure once you are gone, you get a close support network of family friends etc. to check up on you until the person gives up or you know its finally over. Unfortunately, a piece of divorce paper and a restraining order did not stop a lady in my town from being shot in the head by her boyfriend. I apologize for being so blunt, but its necessary. Peace be with you.
IF YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW ARE BEING ABUSED Physically,mentally, or emotionally you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799 SAFE (7233)

I have added this information to the author notes for each chapter... I hope it helps!nogod1215
Ummm, 8 wizards with 8 wands, most of them extremely skilled and they need Harry to trick the resident in #1 to buzz them into the flat? THEN they use the Alohomora to get into #3? Tsk, tsk. The shame! I'm kidding with you!
(figured I could use Ginny for Bill Cos the long hair and another set of redheads for Arthur and Charlie!

Once again, if you are being abused emotionally, mentally or PHYSICALLY, you DONT have to put up with it! There is help out there.

~The number to The National Domestic Violence Hotline is Toll-FREE:1-800-SAFE (7233The number to The National Domestic Violence Hotline is Toll-FREE:1-800-799-SAFE (7233)~I agree. Bill would be the best of the Weasels and he DID save her life a few times, and got his bro exiled, BUT it was about ten years too late, dontcha think? Anyone decent wouldnt watch that continue. I like this story because I know how it goes, but I have always had a couple of problems with it. First of all, it is waaaay too OOC for Hermione (even under threat of death, or misguided love) I would know I was abused by 2 different men, that she would have stayed with him after the second beating. Maybe even the first. Her persona is right I just dont find her sticking with Ron feasable. Maybe dull it down to a couple years instead of 10 and have it start out with mild abuse if you want to make the beginning situation more in character. 2. (okay I really have 3 problems:] ) HARRY would NEVER let her go through this for 10 years or even one. He would kidnap her himself just to 'play the hero' or kill Ron in her defense. 3. I DO NOT believe half of the Weasleys would have let this go on at all. Since you need Molly to be a bitch (in canon she would KILL her son herself!!) I understand, BUT Arthur, Bill, Charlie (whenever he's around) maybe the twins and surprisingly but DEFINATELY stick up his arse PERCY would have never let this go on. Percy is so to the letter of the law he would have 500 feet of parchment in notes to hand the minister and lock Ron up himself, just to get ahead!!! OK Im done picking at you. But I have something to say: *TO ALL WOMEN OUT THERE: IF YOU ARE BEING HIT, or called terrible names, or your mate doesnt like you to even go to the store SEEK IMMEDIATE HELP! THERE ARE PLENTY OF HOTLINES FOR BATTERED WOMEN, The number to The National Domestic Violence Hotline is Toll-FREE:1-800-799-SAFE (7233)~~YOU DONT HAVE TO UP AND CALL THE POLICE TO GET HELP, EVEN IF HE/SHE THREATENS TO KILL YOU. I have been there. Dont stay with an emotionak/mental abuser or anyone who hits you, in MY opinion the emotional abuse is worse. PLEASE get help.* AND REMEMBER: Emotional/mental abuse is STILL abuse, it just takes longer to heal from and statistically wont kill you, but I cut my wrists and a friend saved me 5 YEARS after I left the jerk!

I know that canon Hermione would never put up with something like this, but using the Harry Potter characters was a therapeutic way for me to fight my own demons of spousal abuse.nogod1215
not to be a nettle in your side, cos it is semantics, so it does'nt matter: ME<------GRAMMAR FREAK! Hagrid always said 'yeh' when referring to one or more individuals. JK Rowling never had Hagrid use the old english (which I know you weren't meaning it that way, just making his garbled hackney accent) 'Ye'. There was always an 'H' on the end. Sorry Im a butthead, but the story is great, Ive read it once.
Glad to see that Ron got what he deserved.
Gosh, the things that Hermione has put up with, but I know that she is strong and that she will through it--at least I hope so.
I just knew that Ron had to the one to nab Hermione, and I cannot get over Molly helping her git of a son. Wonder chapter as always!
Another awesome chapter! I just knew that Bill was a good man, however, his brother, Ron... not so much.
