Disclaimer: Look to earlier chapters if you actually read this thing.

~Author's rant: Obviously it has been awhile since I have written on this story but with all the college crap and bullshit from idiots I have to put up with I have had no energy to be writing at all. That is really upsetting to me. I love writing and all this dumb bullshit is making it suffer and I can't even write on my book! I mean seriously I want to do something I enjoy but I'm either to stressed or tired or booked with other crap I have no energy or time to do anything I enjoy. Ugh well soon I shall have a break and hopefully we'll get some good chapters out of me and you all shall be happy. So anyways read the bottom for an announcement, so I shall meet up with all of you at after this. ~

Chapter 4

Sitting up quickly as I gasped for air, I was hit with dizziness that had me falling back on the bed that I found myself lying on. Soon the room stopped swimming around and I was able to see where I was at, the healing ward. Slowly I sat up and looked around just as the nurse Mrs. Phoenix came out of her office. I had forgotten the old one had died in the war and now more than ever I missed her. She was the only one in this school that didn't treat me different.

Sitting painfully still as Mrs. Phoenix came over to me and looked at me with no emotion in her eyes before she started asking me questions of what happened. At first I was scared to tell her what happened, I mean how do you tell someone that the savior of the wizarding world threw you into the great lake as a warning for disobeying him? "I slipped into the lake." I mumbled to her as I stared down at the sheets as she continued to stare at me.

"Alright you need to be more carefully since you obviously can't swim. You'll need to rest some more for the next couple weeks to let your lungs heal fully. You're lucky kid because you almost died. Now I am suppose to give you this parchment that has the location of your room and password and send you on your way against my better judgment but that are my orders." She explained as she handed me the parchment before nodding and leaving the room.

Sighing unhappily as I slowly got up and slipped my shoes on and read the parchment and headed out of the healing ward and to the far side of the castle. Apparently my new room with my tormenter was on the farther side of the castle in a tower. Sighing once again as I couldn't help but think the Headmistress picked this tower so if Harry decided to kill me; no one could hear my screams. I won't doubt it.

Finally after what seemed hours of getting lost and turning down the wrong hallways I found my painting. It was one of a young girl that was sitting on a rock within the ocean looking sad and as if she was waiting for something. "Miss?" I asked quietly as she looked towards me and smiled. "You must be the other boy, Draco Malfoy I believe?" she asked as a nodded quietly. "The other boy isn't here right now. He left awhile ago. He didn't seem too happy." She whispered as he moved her hair out of her face before asking for the password.

Nodding before speaking the password and the portrait swung open and I slipped in and bid her good night before closing it behind me. Walking down the hallway from the portrait, I must say I was a little impressed. I never have seen a hallway that lead from the portrait, it was something new that was for sure. As I enter the main living room, I was surprised by the darker colors of the room. Everything was a mixture of dark colors and it was actually tasteful unlike some of the rooms within the castle.

Moving around to look around at the sleeping painting and the odd little trinkets that were scattered around until I got to the base of the stairs, I noticed a door with my name carved into the wood. Slowly I pushed open the door and peeked inside only to be attacked by a bundle of fur. Laughing slightly as I stepped back a couple of feet as I tried to get a hold of the very happy Resi that was smothering me in her love. "Calm down girl. I'm sorry I was gone for so long but I couldn't help it." I muttered to her as I finally got a hold of her and held her in my arms.

Smiling as she continued to snuggle into my chest as I entered my room and closed the door behind me to have some sort of protection from Harry when he came back from where ever he went. Looking around my room, I was happy to see it was done in different shades of dark blue and silver and black. My three favorite colors.

Flopping onto me bed I sighed happily as I realized all my stuff was here and safe. Nothing seemed to be out of place. It was like they just moved my room from the dungeon to here because as I looked around everything was in the exact same place I had it down there except here I was alone.

Looking at Resi sadly I realized I was stuck here with Harry alone and all my friends were with their partners and I'd never be able to see them since we have to remain with our partners at all time. Growling angrily as I hit my pillow before turning over and screaming into it. Why couldn't I get a break? Every time I turned around more and more crap kept happening to me and I was getting sick and tired of it! I know what I did and I know I deserve to be punished for it but wasn't what they did to me over the summer enough?

Haven't I paid for my sins already? Or do these scars mean nothing other than somebody's sick pleasure of hurting someone they believe that deserve to be punished?

When will it end?

~Author's rant: Ok well that is the end of this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed. More will be coming soon but as I said I have an announcement for everyone.
