Chapter 4

I finally fell asleep only to be woken 3 hours later as Harry, Ginny and Blaise came in to wake us for breakfast. We had to go downstairs to have breakfast with our guests.

I slowly opened my eyes to find that I was wrapped protectively in Draco's arms. I was surprised when I didn't flinch away from him. I flinched when Blaise came over though and when he hugged me gently.

I was sure he noticed but ignored it, letting me relax into him; letting me realise he wouldn't hurt me.

As Harry and Ginny headed towards us, I realised why I was so scared of letting Harry near me; he had a similar hair and eye colour as well as skin tone as Nott.

I stood and began moving towards the door, indicating to Ginny to come with me.

'Where are you going?' Draco asked as he too had gotten out of bed, only at a considerably slower pace.

'To shower and get dressed, I can't do that here now can I?' I replied with a soft smirk; I noticed Harry, Blaise and Draco all sigh in relief as Ginny moved to the door.

'Shall we?' She asked.

I nodded and walked out the door, followed by Ginny.

I picked out some clothes for the day and went into the bathroom, Ginny promising to wait in my room.

Once I was in the bathroom, I slowly stripped down and examined the cuts and bruises I had acquired the night before.

I had a black eye as well as a hand shaped bruise on each cheek where he had held me still. I had bruises all over me but the worst ones were on my inner thighs where my legs had been forced apart.

Remembering how I had gotten each bruise, reliving the night before, sent me over the edge. I turned the shower on and climbed in, letting the scalding water wash away my tears. I scrubbed my body until it was painfully raw, still not feeling clean. I relished the pain, remembering the promise I had made Draco, remembering his words, believing that I am in fact, stronger than I give myself credit for.

I stepped out of the shower and gently towelled off before dressing and drying my hair.

I was glad I had chosen a pair of jeans and a long top. I don't think I could deal with the looks I would no doubt get when the others saw my arms and legs.

I performed a simple glamour on my body, covering the visible cuts and bruises. I knew we still had to go down to breakfast and bid our guests goodbye.

I walked out of the bathroom to see Ginny sitting on my bed reading the novel I had on my bed side table, it was Jane Eyre, a book I had been reading before I had left the Granger's and hadn't touched since.

She looked up before closing the book and heading towards the door, choosing not to comment on my reddened skin.

We left my room before crossing the hall and knocking on Draco's door, Ginny had gotten ready before they had woken us but Draco obviously hadn't.

When we heard something that sounded something like 'come in' we opened the door to find Blaise and Harry playing wizards chess and Draco pulling a t-shirt over his head.

'Hey, you guys ready?' I asked, I had to get my confidence back up and I thought that my friends would be a good starting point.

'Yeah, are you?' Draco asked pointedly.

'Ready as I'll ever be,'

'Let's go then,' He instructed.

'Guys, keep your emotions in check, I know you want to hurt him but you can't, okay?' I asked, ensuring everyone understood I walked forwards to open the door.

Draco walked up next to me as we walked out of his room, wrapping his arm around my waist protectively.

We entered the dining hall to find nearly everyone there. Theo had a few spare seats around him, obviously reserved for us.

'Morgana, come sit with me,' He called with a leer.

'Uh,' I started before Draco cut in.

'Go with it,' he whispered in my ear before continuing, 'Sure, come on guys.' He ensured I would be surrounded by my friends and have them there for support.

We walked towards him, Draco pulling my chair out for me before taking a seat next to me.

As soon as I sat down I felt Theo's hand on my leg, slowly inching higher. I tensed and hit his hand before glancing at Draco who was glaring at Theo.

'Stop it,' I hissed at Theo.

'Why ever would I do that? I'm having so much fun,'

'You are going to pay for what you've done, you know that don't you?' I replied.

'And how do plan to do that, I already know you told your fiancé, and for that you will pay dearly.' He replied.

'N- n- no I haven't,' I stuttered.

'Yes you have, now I want you to excuse yourself from the table, go to the bathroom off the hall and wait for me there.' Theo ordered quietly.

I glanced at Draco who was chatting with Harry and Blaise about Quidditch, trying to act normal. I looked at Ginny who was sitting opposite me.

I nudged Draco under the table and whispered in his ear, 'I'm going to the bathroom, He is threatening me, I'll try and get Ginny to come with me.'

'Okay, be careful, if you're not back in three minutes I'll come after you.' He replied, his words whispered in my ear.

I stood and looked at Ginny who had watched our exchange, 'I'll be back in a minute,' I said, looking pointedly at Ginny, indicating to her with the hand Theo couldn't se to come with me.

'Uh, yeah, me to,' Ginny said quickly, standing and heading towards the doors.

I risked a glance at Theo, he was fuming.

Once we were outside we headed towards the bathroom Theo mentioned.

'So why are we here?' Ginny asked as we walked.

'He is trying to threaten me and I didn't know what to do. Do you have your wand?'

'Yeah, but I can't use it, I'm not seventeen yet,'

'I think they will make an exception if it comes down to it,' I replied, pulling my own wand out of my pocket and indicating that Ginny should do the same.

'So I see you brought a friend,' Theo spoke from down the hall, 'You going to let me play with her too?' he teased.

'No, I'm ready for you this time and you won't get away with it.'

'I'm not so sure, I mean I can surely beat you in a duel, and I'm no doubt physically stronger than you.'

'Yeah right, I've faced down Bellatrix Lestrange and won, you will be easy.'

'Care to put that to the test?'

'Come on then, all I'm hearing is talk; I want to see some action.' I said, knowing I was provoking him but I had far too much rage to release.

'Expelliamus!' he shouted

'Protego!' I shouted back, shielding myself from his curse.

'Bitch! I'll get you for that you slut! Rictasempra!'

I dodged the curse before replying 'Who are you calling a slut? I do believe that it is you who are the 'slut', Furunculous!'

My spell hit him in the chest, sending him flying back into a wall.

'ENOUGH' Carlos yelled, standing at the end of the hall, 'What is going on?'

'Uh,' I was unsure how to respond.

'This is to do with what we needed to speak to you about.' Draco replied from behind my dad, before moving around him to stand by me.

'Alright, to my office, all of you,' he waited a second to see if anyone moved, which no one did, 'NOW!'

Blaise, Harry, Ginny, Draco and I hurried towards Carlos' office, only to pause when we heard Carlos yell at Theo to come with us.

We heard them coming up behind us and entered Carlos's office quickly.

'Take a seat' Carlos said sternly.

We all sat down, with Theo and I as far apart as possible.

'Now, why are you two trying to destroy my house?'

'We're not.' I replied, 'I was just trying to destroy him.'

'And why would that be?'

'Because,-' I began, only for Draco to cut me off.

'Because that arsehole over there decided it would be a good idea to rape her.'

'He what?' Carlos asked, in a deathly quiet voice.

'You heard me.' Draco responded, sounding slightly frightened by my father.

'Do you have anything to say on this?' He asked Theo.

'That slut deserved it'

Carlos stood slowly and moved to Theo, 'Get out of my house. I never want to see or hear of you being anywhere near my family. This will be reported and you will be punished. Now GET OUT!'

Theo stood and walked over to Hermione, clearly ignoring Carlos' threat.

'You deserved it you whore, you'll get what's coming to you, just you wait.' He said before disapperating.

'When did this happen?' Carlos asked

'Last night' Blaise replied.

'Why wasn't I told immediately?'

'We figured calming Mya was what we needed to do at the time.' Draco replied.

'Alright' He replied, 'Go back to your rooms, I need to speak with his parents, then report this. I'll come and get you when we need Morgana to supply a statment for the Auror's report.'

With that, we left, heading towards Blaise's room to wait for Carlos's summons.

An hour later, we could be found lying on Blaise's bed in a tangle of arms and legs, in an arrangement that was surprisingly comfortable.

This is how we were found when Carlos walked in, followed by 2 Auror's, who we recognised to be Nymphadora Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt.

'The Auror's are here, they need to speak to you all, but firstly Morgana.'

'Can Drake come with me?' I asked, I couldn't recount it on my own again, I needed his support.

'Of course' Tonks replied after Carlos glanced at her for approval.

'We'll go into my room then.' I said, leading Draco, Tonks and Kingsley out of Blaise's room and across the hall.

After recounting what had happened, in detail, for the Auror's, with inputs from Draco when I got too emotional, we went back to Blaise's room where the others were waiting and sent them to talk to the Auror's.

'Are you okay?' Draco asked.

'I think so. I mean, it's been reported, so he can't really hurt me anymore can he?'

'No, he can't. You have to have one of the strongest cases possible. There is no doubt he will be sent to Azkaban.' Draco replied, wrapping his arms around me tightly as I began to cry.

I wasn't crying because I was upset, I was crying because I was relieved, there was virtually no doubt that he'd be sent to Azkaban, and I would never have to see him again.

When I had calmed down, I curled up into Draco's chest, his arms wrapped loosely around me.

'What are we going to do tomorrow?' I asked, as most of today had been taken up already.

'Dunno, school shopping I suppose, our letters will probably come sometime soon.'

'That should be fun'

'Mmm'

Soon, we settled into a comfortable silence, until we drifted off to sleep.

'Should we wake them up?' I heard Harry whisper.

'We should take some pictures first' Ginny replied with a giggle.

SNAP I heard some picture's being taken but didn't move, I was still half asleep.

'There, now we can wake them up' Ginny said.

'RAAA' Blaise yelled as he jumped on us, soon to be joined by both Harry and Ginny.

'ARGHHH' Draco yelled, after being rudely awoken.

I screamed and started hitting Blaise with a pillow, ironically his own, whilst laughing hysterically.

About 30 seconds after Draco and I screamed, Carlos, Tonks and Kingsley, who had been talking to Carlos about court dates and the like, came running in, wands blazing.

'What is going on here?' Carlos yelled over the racket we were making.

'Uh, they woke us up' I replied, slightly fearing their reaction.

'Of course they did,' He sighed, sheathing his wand, 'Dinner will be ready momentarily, so head down now, and your Hogwarts letters have arrived.' Carlos said.

With that was all ran down stairs, eager to read our letters and see if any of us were the head students.

Mum handed us our letters then told us to sit down.

I opened mine carefully, after feeling a lump at the bottom.

I removed the book list and usual welcome letter before reading a letter that appeared to be similar to the one I got when I received Head Girl.

Dear Miss Granger,

I am pleased to inform you that you are Head Girl this year.

This year, we will be trialling a new Head system, which will feature a total of 8 head students and 16 prefects, 4 from each house, 2 from 5th year and 2 from 6th year, a male and female.

Of the 8 heads, there will be two from each house, a male and a female.

You will be informed of the identities of the other 7 heads on the train.

Congratulations

Professor's Dumbledore, McGonagall, Sprout, Snape and Flitwick.

'I got Head Girl!' I exclaimed excitedly, 'Any of you heads?' I asked.

'Yeah, I am' Draco replied with a silly looking grin.

'Harry?' I asked, hoping he was the other Gryffindor head.

'Nope, sorry, you really think Dumbledore would allow me to be a head? Really? After all the trouble I cause?' He replied.

'True, so I wonder who the other heads are…' I mused.

'Wait what?' Harry asked at the same time as Blaise and Ginny.

'Here, read this, it might make more sense.' I replied, handing them the letter I had previously read, choosing instead to let it explain the new system.

'That's…Interesting, I wonder who the other heads are.' Blaise wondered aloud.

'Yeah' we all replied, lost in our own thoughts as we ate dinner, all wondering who the other heads were.

'Alright you lot, off to bed, we will go to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get your school supplies, Harry, Ginny, you can come with us, you may want to send an Owl to Molly though.' Aurora told them.

Within 10 minutes, we were in bed, and sleeping, in our own rooms, in our own beds.

Draco's POV

About 4 hours after going to bed I was woken by screaming I knew to be Mya's. I got up and quickly ran to the spare room she was sleeping in, as her room was being renovated, pulling her into my arms after waking her, holding her tightly and whispering calming things in her ear, hoping desperately to calm her after her nightmare.

She pulled away from me, tears still falling from her eyes. She glanced at the door to where I knew Blaise was standing, before looking back at me.

'You promised me he couldn't hurt me anymore' she told me through her tears.

'He can't hurt you.' I stated confusedly.

'He can, he just did, he did it again.'

'Mya, it was a nightmare, I promise you it wasn't real, I promise!'

'It was, you're lying, you can't protect me' she screamed as she ran out the door, Blaise hot on the heels.

'FUCK' I yelled at myself before running out the door and in the direction Mya and Blaise had headed.

Mya's POV

I could hear someone running behind me but I ignored them. I managed to get into my room, and then my bathroom, locking the door behind me.

I grabbed my razor, my mind not clear enough to realise what I was doing, or what I was about to do.

I placed it on my wrist, dragging it lightly across, only hard enough for a few drops of blood to ease from my wrist.

Again I dragged it across my wrist, only this time hard enough to really break the flesh, to draw a lot of blood, so much that I started to panic.

I grabbed a clean white towel to try to stem the bleeding, forgetting I was a witch and able to do magic.

I could faintly hear Blaise at my door, pounding on it, begging me to let him in, promising me that he could help me.

I was getting really dizzy. I knew I didn't have a much time left before I lost consciousness. I knew I had lost far too much blood.

I stood up, using the basin as a support and stumbled towards the door.

I opened the door. I looked up at Blaise, silently begging him to help me, to save me, not seeing Draco a step behind him.

I collapsed into Blaise's arms, my legs no longer strong enough to hold me up.

'Help me' I whispered. It was so soft I wasn't sure I'd even said it. I felt Draco place is wand on my arm as Blaise knelt behind me, supporting my body with his.

'Tergeo' he whispered to clean the wounds 'Vulnera Sanentur' he said, healing the cuts.

'When'd you learn that?' I heard Blaise whisper.

'After the first time. I thought I might need it. Turns out I was right.'

'Urghh' I groaned as I tried to sit up.

'NO' Draco yelped quickly pushing me back down, 'I need to give you a blood replenishing potion before you move.'

'Mmmk' I mumbled, letting him open my mouth and pour the thick substance down my throat. 'Thank you' I murmured before drifting off to sleep against Blaise.

Blaise's POV

'Come on, we should at least put her back in bed.' I said, standing carefully and picking Mya up gently, so as not to wake her.

'It's all my fault.' Draco said quietly, repeating it to himself as he pulled the blankets back on her bed.

'Drake, it's not your fault.' I told him as I tucked Mya in, gently placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

'It is. I shouldn't have left her alone. I should have stayed with her. Or made her Stay with me.' He explained, running a hand through his hair and sitting on the edge of her bed, taking her hand gently.

'It's not, dude seriously, there is nothing anyone could have done, we tried to calm her and she panicked, the only thing we can do now is support her,' I told him, 'And push her to get some help.' I added.

AN/ Thanks for reading, now review :D
