You slept in the infirmary that night; you didn't wake up to eat anything you were to tire. Draco had come up and checked on you without his friends, you, or anyone knowing. You rolled over on the bed the next morning and woke up. You looked around the room you where alone in; soon Madam Pomfrey came in and told you, you could go back to your room. You had gone back to your house and went up to your room. You took a shower and got dressed then headed to the dining hall. Your whole table looked at you when you walked in and sat down at the table and once you started eating everyone went back to eating and talking. Draco sat next to you alone this time with his friends somewhere else.
"Do you want something?" you asked tiredly
"I know," is all he said to you
"Know what?" you asked looking at him
"About your father and what he does to you." He stared straight at you
"I don't know what you're talking about Malfoy he doesn't do anything to me." You said turning away from him
"I know the signs of all of it and do you really see anyone in this house who hasn't been abused by their family during some point in their life. But then they usually find someone who is higher than their family and can protect them but then they get abused by the person who is protecting them from their family." He said staring at you as you where looking away
"They just go from being abused from one person to another and then they have to see their kids go through it and they won't help or do anything about it. They pretend it's not happening and they don't know anything about it." You said your head down and tears coming to your eyes
"Is that what your mom does pretend it doesn't happen?" he asked
You nodded your head lightly without lifting your head up.
"You know I can protect you from your father my family is higher than most of all these other families." He said to you and you looked up at him with tears in your eyes and tear stained checks
He reached over to your face and wiped your tears away. "What's in it for you if I want your help?" you asked
"I don't have to marry Pansy then." He said
He was using what you needed help with for his own personal gain. "So for me to get you to help you; you want me to marry you so you don't have to marry Pansy?" you said to him
"Yes it's easy as that." He said to you
"I wouldn't even bother Draco she doesn't like taking people's help she's probably even against the Dark Lord." A guy who's bugged you from the beginning of the school year said to him
"You don't know anything," you snapped at him then stood up from the table and left to go to class. Draco glared at the guy. Then stood up and went to his class as well.
