Chapter 4

A few weeks had passed and our classes were getting harder especially the one with my Father. I had my talk with Harry, Ron, and Ginny and they all understood, but they still didn't like my dad. They figured I was more like my mother.

The situation with Draco was getting more awkward, he kept letting me see things about his past and I didn't know how to take it. The whole school knew about my adoption now and I noticed that the Slytherins would now avoid me, but when I saw them going after any of my friends I stepped in and they walked away. I figured that they were very afraid of their Head of House's punishment for hurting his Daughter.

I had learned more about my Empathy and was able to control it more than Ali thought possible. I could now see what I wanted to see when I was touching someone and they never knew that I was seeing it. Although Ali and Draco knew what I was doing, because they were helping me learn.

One night I was in the Potions library studying because I couldn't sleep and soon I heard footsteps but I just figured someone else couldn't sleep like me and went back to studying until I saw who was coming through the door.

I dropped my book and hurried over to where my father was laying someone down. He looked up and saw me.

"Klaire I'm glad you're here help me heal him."

I nodded and set to work removing the robes and setting to work. Soon I removed the blood but when I turned to the hair I froze. No one else had that hair color at school. I finished working on the wounds and he was still unconscious. I turned to my father who came back into the room with some potions and asked.

"What happened to him?"

"I'm not sure we had a meeting and he disappeared but when I got back to the grounds he apparated behind me so I brought him here with me."

"Meeting? But why would he be going to a meeting with you?"

Severus looked down.

"He didn't tell you that then? Klaire he joined a couple of weeks ago. He became a spy for Dumbledore. I don't know who did this I know it wasn't The Dark Lord because I was with him when He disappeared."

I looked at him and thought "Draco what have you done and who did this to you?" slowly I took his hand and tried to find what I was looking for soon I found it, and I was angered by what I saw.

Draco was taken out of the Death eaters Meeting by his father, and led to the dungeons. What happened there was horrible and I didn't know how he survived it. Soon Lucious left and Draco struggled to get out of the house and into the grounds he saw Severus Apparate and he did the same and then when he landed outside of Hogwarts all went black.

I Looked back at Severus and said, "It was his father." when I turned back to Draco I saw his eyes, but something was different about them.

"You shouldn't have done that, it was not for you to see."

I now knew what it was I saw in his eyes it was anger, focused directly at me, something I hadn't seen in a long time and more intense than I had ever seen.

"Why did you think I never told you what I did? I didn't want you to know and now you but into my life and see what I never wanted you to see, or anyone else for that matter. You never could keep your nose out of other people's business. You're just a Know-it-all that could never stand not being the center of attention. Why don't you just stay away from me."

With that he pushed me onto the floor and left.

In that moment I had never felt more pain and whether or not it was my own pain or his I didn't know but I did something then that I had told my self I would never do again, I cried.

I woke up the next morning in what I assumed was either in my mother or fathers private chambers on a couch, neither of them were awake and I didn't want to see anyone. I got up quietly and made my way out of the castle and to the Lake and sat down beside my favorite Tree. I didn't know how long I sat there, nor did I know when two boys joined me. When Ali and Harry each took one of my hands I showed them what I had seen and what Draco had said and then collapsed into their arms and cried again.

I looked back up to Ali after a while and he wiped the tears away from my face and gave me some tissues. Ali showed me what my face looked like now I was pale and my eyes had turned a Pale green color.

Harry said, "come on lets get some food, and some chocolate it will make you feel better."

I nodded and they led me to the Great hall where we sat and ate a quite lunch. When Draco walked in the room grew cold. I finished my food on my plate and made my way quietly out of the hall.

I wondered the halls and came across the Room of Requirement and thought of a place to just get away. Soon the door appeared and I went in. It was a big room with comfy couches, books and calm music was playing from a wizarding radio. I went to the couch and lay down and soon I was asleep.

I was sitting on a balcony looking out onto the grounds, it was raining and it seemed the more I thought about what had happened the worse the storm was getting. You could no longer tell that I was crying. No one understood why the weather had been so bad but I knew I was controlling the weather. I didn't want to see sunshine I wanted people to know that inside I was just as miserable as the weather outside.

Soon I was being woken up, I looked up to find Ali and it was then that I realized the weather outside was just as bad as it had been in my dream.

"The weather is getting bad Rose we have to go to our common rooms."

I nodded but didn't say anything. He was leading me back to the Gryffindor Common room but we were stopped. The hallway got cold; Draco was in front of us. "Why did it just get cold in here?"

Ali asked. Draco looked at me and said,

"I think Klaire knows."

Ali looked at me, and I just shrugged and the air got colder. Draco started coming closer to me and it kept getting colder. Ali grabbed my arm but I didn't show him anything but he showed me my angel, he was no longer by my side he was standing near Draco keeping him safe, the Angel walked over to me,

"You don't want to hurt him, you're just upset. This power isn't meant to harm others. Look at Draco he is trying to protect you. Listen to him there is still much you have to learn, his anger was a form of protection if you knew his secrets about his father it would put you in danger. Let him talk to you that is why he is here he knew you could control the weather."

I nodded to him and soon the coldness was gone and the storm had calmed but it was still raining and thundering and lightening.

I looked at Draco and he approached I looked once again at my Angel and he nodded and disappeared I looked at Ali and he was still touching me but let go as the Angel left. Draco led me back to the Room of Requirement and let me in while Ali left.

The room was now only filled with a fireplace and a couch he sat me down on the couch while he paced a bit, I let the storm ease up a bit more and he finally sat down beside me. I curled up on the couch and went to watching the fire.

"I was mad because you saw me at my weakest; you already knew some about my father about the curse he placed on me. Only Ali knew of the regular beatings I went through for different things. The name Malfoy is respected, I was always meant to be first in Quditch, school, Initiation, but I wasn't so I was beaten for it. Last night my father wanted me to be chosen for a task but I wasn't so he beat me the worst ever."

" You weren't supposed to be able to heal me no one was I was meant to have the pain and those scars. You weren't meant to see what you did but somehow you broke through every barrier that was placed for you not to be able to see what happened and to heal me which means that my father will now be after you. If he finds out who healed me."

"I saw you sitting outside I watched the wind pick up around you I saw the clouds coming in. when I walked into the Great hall it was cold it still was when you left. Then the weather just started getting worse and worse. Then I saw your angel, he came to tell me that I was the only one to make this storm stop and he led me to you. I knew when it got cold again that it was you, that somehow your type of Empathy is not what I expected which also puts you in more danger."

"Klaire will you look at me?"

"You fear your father to much; until you can defeat him then you will not know me. You joined what I despise, and you put me in danger by what you feel. If your father ever breaks into your mind he will be after me anyways. Voldemort already knows about me and is already trying to get Severus to bring me to him. So really I'm in enough danger without you so I think it is you that needs to leave me alone."

With that I left a speechless Draco on the couch while I walked out the door and to the place where I would soon seal my fate and do my own part to fight in this war.
