Me and Draco started dating a long time before the war, and he said I'm the reason he decided to come back and do his 7th year (again). Because of the war everyone, bar the current 7th years had to come back and repeat the year they were in when the war started. Quite a lot of the kids that survived got pulled out, and even with two lots of 1st Years the castle still seems really empty. The only people who came back from Draco's year was Pansy Parkinson, Astoria Greengrass(Daphne didn't) Blaise Zabini, Theo Nott, Hannah Abbot,Susan Bones, Neville Longbottom, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, Weasel and Pothead.

Is it Lucius, come on it's Ok'' I said, making my voice as soothing as my Slytherin blood would allow. Instead of replying Draco turned his body to the window while still looking at me. He slid of his robe and lifted up his shirt so I could see the majority of his back. As much as I tried not to a gasp escaped my mouth. His back was covered in deep cuts, many looked less than a month old as they had not fully healed, however underneath these I could see scars that looked as much as a few years old. ''Dragon...'' I said, shocked. He responded with as much hatred as was possible while crying ''I'm glad the bastard got the kiss last week.'' Lucius had received the dementors kiss last week, after only spending two weeks in Azkaban, meaning he'd been arrested within days of doing this my little Dragon.

Even when I was in 1st year, if anyone touched him from behind he'd flinch, and he'd always try to hide his fear, but I always spotted it. The sorting hat said that if it wasn't for my revengeful and cunning side, I would have been in Ravenclaw, as I always picked up on the things no one else did. Like that I the past few years, he'd become jumpy if anyone, whether he knew they were there or not touched him, even if he was looking right at them. When Pansy started giving him all the slutty attention in his 4th year, people began to notice. People began to leave the Slytherin Prince alone, and most lost their respect for him after one occasion, just before Halloween in his 5th year. It was in the Great Hall at dinner, everyone was there and he was the first to stand up and leave, he had told me he was feeling ill and, if it was even possible, he was looking more pale than usual, so I accepted it, it turned out he was feeling ill but not in the way I expected. Pansy, being the slut she was, stood up a few seconds later, and put her arms over his shoulders from behind. He collapsed and had an anxiety attack in the middle of the Great Hall. I ended up leading him out of the Great Hall, carrying most of his weight (which was a lot, he was always very muscular), while he did a mixture of sobbing and gagging. I lead him into the nearest boys toilets where he continued to cry and gag, the latter ending when he was sick about 10 minutes later. I had no clue what was going on, I knew what panic and anxiety attacks where, but until Draco told me I didn't put 2 and 2 together. He cried himself to sleep that night./span/spanspan class="EOP SCX21029358" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" /span/p

He used to call me Amby when he took me under his wing. After forcing him to watch Bambi, he noted how Amby and Bambi sounded similar. I heard a small knock at the carriage door and I removed the charms I had put on when we had first entered. I stood up and opened the door, usually I'd just shout for the person to enter, or use magic, but I didn't know who was there and I wanted to hide Draco, knowing he would get teased because he had been crying. An overtired Harry Potter and a silent Hermione stood in front of the door, both were pale and neither was basking in the glory as I had expected.

''Look, Draco's been abused by his Father, I don't know how much there was, it was sexual as well as physical, but the most recent cuts on his back could have happened as little as hours before Lucius was arrested.'' His back was facing me so I gently lifted up his shirt and showed them. I knew Draco wouldn't mind as he trusted who I trusted, because of my small amount of Ravenclaw-ness Draco called me a good judge of character, so automatically agreed. I don't know why I trusted the pair, but something inside told me to, and it's never been wrong. Hermione looked shocked at the wounds while Harry just sadly shook his head. I lowered his shirt again and turned back to the pair. '' I don't know why I trust you, every bit of common sense I have should be telling me to growl at you to get out, but you've changed, not completely, I can tell Hermione has some very strong opinions she wants to share, and Harry's thinking back to the Dursley's and when he was thrown in the cupboard for eating a biscuit on his 9th birthday, but you are different, for the better in my case.''

Amber, have you ever considered yourself to have any extra magical abilities than anyone else?'' Hermione asked. I stopped, and gave her a cheeky smile, before using morphing my face into hers. I don't think I mentioned, but I'm a metamorphmagus. Another of my little tricks. ''Yes, Hermione I'm a metamorphmagus'' I changed back to my usual self. Harry spoke again timidly ''Is that what you look like naturally?'' I sighed and changed a few things, my cheekbones lowered, my teeth became less straight, and my hair became a slightly darker ball of frizz.

''Draco!'' I screamed, but it was like he was trapped. ''FATHER!'' Draco screamed in agony. He was sobbing, it sounded like he had given up hope ''NO NOT CRUCIO!'' He pleaded. He released a blood curdling scream that would have been easily heard in the other compartments. Through the glass in the compartment door I could see that we had gathered a crowd of 6th and 7th Years, who had come to see the Slytherin Prince being tortured by his Father. ''PLEASE FATHER'' He begged, sobbing. The looks of eager face's that had been present on the viewers faces, was now replaced with fear and pity.''Please, no more, not crucio'' he sobbed. ''DRACO!'' I shouted. ''FATHER! PLEASE!HAVE MERCY!'' Another bloodcurdling scream of agony was released. ''Draco.'' I shook him as hard as possible, despite knowing what would woke with a start, and slapped me in his state of fear. Draco hits hard. I felt my face hit the seat and my ear was ringing.

Harry silently emptied a few school books out of a paper bag and handed it to me. I put it in front of Draco's face, who grabbed it with shaky hands and continued to retch. Within seconds Draco was vomiting whatever he had eaten into the bag. After about 15 minutes he stopped retching and vomiting and I made the bag disappear. Right above Weasel's Head. ''I don't suppose you wanted it back.'' I said to gave a weak smile and shook his head. The rest of the train journey was uneventful.

''My little sister. She was only 11. It was meant to be her 1st year, the war. She was hiding, in a storage cupboard near the kitchen, I put Olive there, I thought she'd be safe, she was so innocent and it was my fault.'' I weeped. Hermione looked up at me. ''Olive Hightower, wasn't she a Hufflepuff? She had a twin in Ravenclaw, Laurel-Mae.'' I nodded, she was so sweet and innocent. '' You know Hermione, Draco never has hated muggleborns.'' She snorted at my comment '' How'd you know?''She asked. I smirked, Draco taught me how to imitate his to perfection, and looked at her ''Because I'm one.'' She looked train jolted sending both sleeping boys to the floor while me and Hermione laughed. The four of us had now United, we were now a group.

He wasn't being his usual flirtatious self, he was being distant. I had a feeling it was to do with the death eaters and what happened during the war so I slid over to him and wrapped my arm around him. He flinched as I touched him, he spun around from the window with a look of pure fear in eyes. He relaxed slightly when he realized it was me but he was still more on edge than I had ever seen.

I was shocked at first, I had never, in all my time knowing him, seen him cry. ''Dragon, what's wrong? Is it Lucius, come on it's Ok'' I said, making my voice as soothing as my Slytherin blood would allow. Instead of replying Draco turned his body to the window while still looking at me. He slid of his robe and lifted up his shirt so I could see the majority of his back. As much as I tried not to a gasp escaped my mouth. His back was covered in deep cuts, many looked less than a month old as they had not fully healed, however underneath these I could see scars that looked as much as a few years old. ''Dragon...'' I said, shocked. He responded with as much hatred as was possible while crying ''I'm glad the bastard got the kiss last week.'' Lucius had received the dementors kiss last week, after only spending two weeks in Azkaban, meaning he'd been arrested within days of doing this my little Dragon. I traced my fingers over one of the scars,then I reached out and gently touched his shoulder./span/spanspan class="EOP SCX21029358" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" /span/p

Even when I was in 1st year, if anyone touched him from behind he'd flinch, and he'd always try to hide his fear, but I always spotted it. The sorting hat said that if it wasn't for my revengeful and cunning side, I would have been in Ravenclaw, as I always picked up on the things no one else did. Like that I the past few years, he'd become jumpy if anyone, whether he knew they were there or not touched him, even if he was looking right at them. When Pansy started giving him all the slutty attention in his 4th year, people began to notice. People began to leave the Slytherin Prince alone, and most lost their respect for him after one occasion, just before Halloween in his 5th year. It was in the Great Hall at dinner, everyone was there and he was the first to stand up and leave, he had told me he was feeling ill and, if it was even possible, he was looking more pale than usual, so I accepted it, it turned out he was feeling ill but not in the way I expected. Pansy, being the slut she was, stood up a few seconds later, and put her arms over his shoulders from behind. He collapsed and had an anxiety attack in the middle of the Great Hall. I ended up leading him out of the Great Hall, carrying most of his weight (which was a lot, he was always very muscular), while he did a mixture of sobbing and gagging. I lead him into the nearest boys toilets where he continued to cry and gag, the latter ending when he was sick about 10 minutes later. I had no clue what was going on, I knew what panic and anxiety attacks where, but until Draco told me I didn't put 2 and 2 together. He cried himself to sleep that night./span/spanspan class="EOP SCX21029358" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; -webkit-user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 17px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" /span/p

He'd stopped crying but his eyes were red and his face was tear stained. The train hadn't even set of yet and Draco was crying.''He raped me, Bambi, every night.'' He sobbed. He used to call me Amby when he took me under his wing. After forcing him to watch Bambi, he noted how Amby and Bambi sounded similar. I heard a small knock at the carriage door and I removed the charms I had put on when we had first entered. I stood up and opened the door, usually I'd just shout for the person to enter, or use magic, but I didn't know who was there and I wanted to hide Draco, knowing he would get teased because he had been crying. An overtired Harry Potter and a silent Hermione stood in front of the door, both were pale and neither was basking in the glory as I had expected. ''There's no spare carriages, I mean if you want we can go but...'' Harry whispered. As much as I hated him, it upset me to the shell that remained from the war.

''Look, Draco's been abused by his Father, I don't know how much there was, it was sexual as well as physical, but the most recent cuts on his back could have happened as little as hours before Lucius was arrested.'' His back was facing me so I gently lifted up his shirt and showed them. I knew Draco wouldn't mind as he trusted who I trusted, because of my small amount of Ravenclaw-ness Draco called me a good judge of character, so automatically agreed. I don't know why I trusted the pair, but something inside told me to, and it's never been wrong. Hermione looked shocked at the wounds while Harry just sadly shook his head. I lowered his shirt again and turned back to the pair. '' I don't know why I trust you, every bit of common sense I have should be telling me to growl at you to get out, but you've changed, not completely, I can tell Hermione has some very strong opinions she wants to share, and Harry's thinking back to the Dursley's and when he was thrown in the cupboard for eating a biscuit on his 9th birthday, but you are different, for the better in my case.''

He released a blood curdling scream that would have been easily heard in the other compartments. Through the glass in the compartment door I could see that we had gathered a crowd of 6th and 7th Years, who had come to see the Slytherin Prince being tortured by his Father.

''Hermione, where's Weasley?'' She sadly shook her head. ''With Ginny. Neither have been the same since Fred died.'' I nodded sadly. ''You know, Hermione we all lost someone in the war, not just you guys.'' I gently said, trying to blink back the tears forming in my eyes. ''Who was it, Amber?'' Hermione soothingly asked. ''My little sister. She was only 11. It was meant to be her 1st year, the war. She was hiding, in a storage cupboard near the kitchen, I put Olive there, I thought she'd be safe, she was so innocent and it was my fault.'' I weeped. Hermione looked up at me. ''Olive Hightower, wasn't she a Hufflepuff? She had a twin in Ravenclaw, Laurel-Mae.'' I nodded, she was so sweet and innocent. '' You know Hermione, Draco never has hated muggleborns.'' She snorted at my comment '' How'd you know?''She asked. I smirked, Draco taught me how to imitate his to perfection, and looked at her ''Because I'm one.'' She looked train jolted sending both sleeping boys to the floor while me and Hermione laughed. The four of us had now United, we were now a group. But this was still going to be a chaotic year./span/p
