Chapter 25
Astoria Greengrass sat quietly in the dimly lit room, her heart pounding as she watched Draco whip Hermione with his belt. Each crack of leather against naked skin made her flinch, but she forced herself to stay still, to do nothing. What fascinated her, despite the violence of the act, was Hermione's unwavering silence. With each brutal strike, Hermione’s body shuddered but she never cried out. Astoria couldn’t help but admire her strength and resilience.
Finally, Draco stopped, tossing the belt aside. He ran a hand through Hermione's hair before pushing the top half of her body flat onto the bed and raising her hips. “Stay there,” he ordered coldly. He unfastened his trousers. Hermione, still shaking, dug her hands into the silk sheets of the bed and Draco took her roughly, his movements harsh and fast.
Astoria watched, a twisted mix of horror and fascination filling her. It was difficult to do nothing. Instead, she focused on staying calm, waiting for the moment when she could provide comfort.
When Draco finally finished, he stood and adjusted his clothing, looking down at Hermione with a cruel smirk. “Take care of her,” he ordered Astoria, his voice cold. Without another word, he left the room, the door closing behind him with a finality that left Astoria feeling both relieved and terrified.
Astoria rushed to Hermione’s side. She didn’t say a word, but she carefully examined the angry red welts on Hermione’s back, her touch gentle and soothing.
With practiced efficiency, Astoria applied ointment to the wounds. Hermione’s breaths were shallow and ragged, but she didn’t resist the help.
Once the ointment was applied, Astoria helped Hermione into a more comfortable position, arranging pillows and blankets to provide some measure of comfort. She tried not to notice how much of Hermiones own arousal and Draco’s cum leaked onto the bed
Astoria leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to Hermione’s forehead, Hermione’s eyes fluttered closed, her body relaxing slightly under Astoria’s care. In the quiet of the room, Astoria sat beside Hermione and never wanted to leave.
