Jade POV
I shot up, my breathing coming in small, desperate lumps; my skin was drenched in a cold sweat, the nightmare plaguing around my mind.
Without a second thought I got up out of my bed and left my sleeping friends ran down the stairs to the common room and through the portrait hole, down the Grand staircase and to Dumbledore's office.
"Phoenix Feathers," I puffed, as soon as the gargoyle moved I followed, forgetting that it was ridiculously late I banged on Professor Dumbledore's door, he opened up in his normal blue robes and half moon spectacles.
"Ah, Jade, I was wondering when I would be seeing you here, do come in." I manoeuvred past him and stood by his desk. "Now child, do tell me what is bothering you so early in the morning."
"Draco, he has to do something, something bad, very, very, very bad, I think it's hurting him, but you could help, you could stop him, protect him from what he has to do, please help him," I turned to face him and was shaken to see him smiling, it wasn't a happy smile but an admiral sad smile.
"Dear Jade, I know what he has to do, and it will be," he took a deep breath and stepped closer to me, "I am going to tell you some things, I wish you not to repeat unless you are speaking to Harry, Ron or Hermione, because they are going to need you very soon and you must help them…"
"But…"
"No, no, here me out child, there is very dark magic in this world, Mr. Malfoy has been caught up in it and brought his son and additionally you with it, you can help Draco by helping Harry, Ron and Hermione in their search for horcruxes…" I nodded at his expected plea, how could I deny someone so noble? "A horcrux is an object that has been cursed, or given part of someone's soul, the soul has been split and the severed piece is placed in an object therefore giving the soul's original host, or person, an immortal life; if they then die, part of them will live on and they can come back to the world. Voldemort has successfully created seven of these horcruxes, it is Harry's, Ron's, Hermione's and now yours jobs to find them, destroy them and then Harry must finish off Voldemort."
"Ho… How do we des… destroy these horcruxes and how do you cut your soul?" I felt my body reverberate at the word.
"They can be destroyed by extreme regret from the person who created them, so much regret that they may die themselves, or to be damaged so much so no amount of magic can restore them.
"They are created by said person murdering another person and taking the severed soul and placing it in an object." I felt my skin visibly pale at the word 'murder'.
"And you want me to help the others?" Professor Dumbledore nodded; I took a deep breath and copied his head movement. "But what about Draco, this will tear him apart having to hurt you?"
"I am going to let it happen, now child go back to bed and dream of climbing the highest mountains, swimming the deepest seas, do not worry your mind about me."
"G'night Professor," I stood up straight and looked him in the eye.
"Goodnight child." Sullenly I walked out of his office and up the stairs, padding past the seventh floor, I saw Draco standing outside it smacking the wall, kicking it, and yelling in annoyance.
"What did the wall ever do to you?" Said a sly voice from the other end of the corridor, I looked up at the same time as Draco, a small figure walked down the halls avoiding any light, breathing in the cold, crisp air of winter I stood back into the shadows out of view.
"What do you want?" He asked clench toothed as the figure stepped into a small beam of sunlight.
"You Draco," PANSY, that bitch, he's mine, even if she doesn't know it, he's mine.
"Bog off Pansy, I don't want you." Like the slut she is she didn't listen and wrapped her arms around his neck, slowly leaning in.
"Are you sure Drakey? 'Cause I think you do want me, in fact, you want a distraction and I can do whatever you want me to do."
"Going away would be nice." Growling he shoved her from him.
"How dare you do that to me Drakey, you will regret that." She cried before standing up and jabbing her finger at him.
"No, you will regret that Parkinson," I glowered whilst stepping from the shadows. Both of them looked at me, Parkinson annoyed and Draco, slightly relieved, slightly miffed.
"How so Blackburn?"
"You are out of bed after hours, I am friends with the Gryffindor prefects and they will happily give you a detention…" she made a move to speak, "don't say you are friends with the Slytherin prefects because you and I both know they hate you, so don't go there."
"Bitch," was all she said, I waltzed straight up in her voice, made my voice sickly sweet and deathly low.
"Watch your tongue or I'll have to make them do more to you than I had planned before, we wouldn't want that now would we? Goodnight Parkinson off to bed you go."
"Fine." She stormed off defiantly leaving me to an amused Draco, I waited until there was no footfalls in the halls until I turned around.
"What?" he made wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Nothing," placing my hands on his chest I pushed away slightly so I could look into his eyes.
"Bullshit," he leaned in closer.
"I'm going to have to wash your mouth out miss."
"Oh yeah," Suddenly the room of requirement door appeared, "okay if that is a bathroom with soap I am going to kill you Draco."
Shaking completely out of his grasp I opened the door into the same room as before, but this time it had Christmas decorations about. I felt him step in behind me and close the door before it disappeared.
I sat on the bed and watched as he eyed me then made his way in front of where I was perched, standing there looking dubiously in my direction. I reached my hand up to his tie and tugged lightly, he didn't catch on, I tugged again, nothing, again, nil, again, nada, this time I tugged so hard he fell on top of me looking slightly taken aback, I giggled lightly at his expression and shuffled so my head was on a pillow, he followed crawling over past my legs, hips, and chest until his face was above mine.
"I like your pyjama's, they're cute." He whispered into my ear, I looked down at my oversized Muse tour T-shirt and red pyjama bottoms before blushing lightly.
I looked up to him again; his hair sprawled messily over his deep silver eyes, pale skin, straight nose and perfectly structured lips, sighing my hand traced his face, gently he leant into it, using that to my advantage I intertwined my fingers into his messy hair and pulled his lips down to mine.
He responded immediately; kissing me back, his lips taking control while his hands clutched my hips, I moved so I was now straddling him, and he was lying on the bed, I pinned his hands above his head and smirked.
He looked at me lovingly, giggling again I leant down and captured his lips in mine once again, moving my hands to his hair, slowly he leaned up so we were sitting, arms around my middle, I pulled him closer if that were even possible and had the pleasure of hearing him clench his teeth, I was putting him through torture, I could feel him and what he wanted.
The weird thing is I wanted to give it all to him, he can have every part of me, everything that I had saved I was going to give to him.
Cautiously I moved my hands from around his neck down to the front of his black button up shirt; I undid the first button, then the second, and so on until his chest was completely exposed to me, grabbing at the collar of the shirt I pushed it over his shoulders and chucked it to the floor, lying in a crumpled mess there. Next I moved to nip at his neck lightly, at the soft part between the collar bone and his jaw, he slipped out another groan, I did it again, retrieving the same response, I carried on nipping at it until my mark was there, a little purple wilt on his pale skin, licking over it, up to his jaw line and to his earlobe I nipped there lightly before looking into his gemmed eyes; they had been closed until he sensed me looking, now they were filled with such emotion it was almost impossible to read. Almost; there was love, lust, admiration, and uncertainty, if you look in deep enough you could see fear.
My hand traced down the side of his face again, pulling him into another kiss.
When we pulled away his hands were removing offending strands of hair from my vision, then they went down my sides to my hips and held on tightly, then I felt his lips at my neck, my eyes closed, then the sensations on his nipping and tugging came as he left his mark on me, a perfect little love bite.
Once he pulled away, looking smugly at his work, my hand reached up and touched it, it was tender but it felt nice. I blushed deeply as he grabbed the hand that was touching it and then my other hand before placing them hovering above my head. I looked at him questioningly, he grinned deviously in return before grabbing the hem of my top and pulling it up my body and over my head and chucking it to the floor, I was now straddling a shirtless Draco in my bra and pyjama bottoms.
His eyes roamed over my bare body lustfully, suddenly I felt overly exposed, and using my arms I tried to cover myself up as much as possible, it's not that I had a bad body, no, I had a perfect hourglass figure, flat stomach in a woman's size 8, all perfectly tanned from my summer, no it was definitely not that, it's just I've never been exposed like this with a guy alone with the intensions I had. Draco noticed my arms move and wrapped my wrists in his hands before leaning towards my ear.
In a low husky voice he whispered, "You're beautiful, you don't need to hide from me." My body's rigid posture relaxed at his words and warm breath on me.
Taking a deep breath I slackened my arms, taking the opportunity he used his hands still wrapped around them and pulled them around his neck before leaning back so his back was on the bed again with me hovering over him again, my hair falling as a curtain over the both of us.
He reached up his right hand and tucked my hair behind my ears before leaning up to me and kissing me lightly.
Silently, never breaking the kiss, I moved my hands down to his belt and unclasped it along with his jean button, then grabbing the band of them I pulled them down lightly, Draco noticing this shuffled out of them so they then fell of the floor. He was now lying beneath me in his silken black boxers.
He pulled my head over his before turning us over so I was under him, I felt his hands run along my face, down my neck, the sides of my heaving chest, down to my hips, grabbing the band of my pyjama bottoms he carried on going down. When his face was above mine again we were both in nothing but out underwear.
He kissed my forehead tenderly, leaving feather kissed down the right side of my face to my ear, "are you sure about this?" he questioned me quietly, his voice laced with concern and love.
Unable to answer with words, I pulled his lips back to mine in another passionate kiss, during which his hands made their way to the back of my bra and unclasped it before tentatively removing it from my body.
I smiled internally as I watched him look at me and my body admiringly, once he caught me looking he smiled at me before reaching for my last remaining clothing, I surrendered it with no hesitation and lay completely bare beneath him, next moment his underwear joined mine somewhere on the floor.
Then on the bedside table next to us protection appeared, I looked from the condom to Draco, he did the same with me before I burst out laughing, he looked at me laughing hysterically beneath him before joining me in laughter.
After the laughter wore off, he reached up for it and put it on, then he looked at me, I nodded again.
Taking a deep breath, I waited for him and when he did enter me it hurt, I let out a small whimper, Draco hearing this, stayed put, not moving so I could get used to him, by the look in his eyes he obviously didn't expect me to be a virgin, and now they held nervousness and guilt, guilt for the pain I was currently in. Slowly he leant down to me, my chest touched his, and carefully he moved again, it still hurt so I let out another whimper, my arms clutched at him desperately, clawing at his back. My face was in the crook of his neck, I used it to mute the next couple of cries that left my lips when he moved.
After a little more the pain numbed and I entered bliss with Draco, leaving the last of my innocence behind.
Once we were done Draco collapsed on top of me, heaving slightly as was I. Gingerly he rolled off of me so he was now on my right.
I rolled over so I was facing him, I placed my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat frantically, his arm moved and his hand glided through my hair repeatedly. Slowly I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber.
Next Morning;
I felt the heat of the sun kissing my flesh, my eyes were groggy and my body sore. Arms were wrapped securely around me, holding me intensely against Draco's chest, he was breathing deeply in his sleep, his warm breath beating at the crooks of my neck.
Inhaling a breath of warm air I realised today was the Hogsmeade trip. Scooting gently out of Draco's arms I got up, my body ached with every movement I made, I turned and glanced around the room noticing that our clothing was no where to be seen and I then faced a door that wasn't there before; it was brown mahogany wood, with a silver handle, I walked to it, grabbed the handle and hulled it open, inside was an array of clothing.
Walking down the isle that was there I reached the woolly clothing. I reached for a long, grey sweater with silver glitter on it. It covered up a lot of neck.
Then I got some black skinny jeans, a white vest top and a pair of woolly socks, then I pulled out some underwear that was miraculously in my size.
I put all of it on, before I heard stirring in the other room, I peered through the door to see Draco slowly waking up. I walked over to the bed quietly and sat on the end of the bed and shook his sleeping form lightly, he turned over irritably.
Grumbling about lazy arse men I got up and made my way to his side of the bed and then I jumped on his, lucky for him I wasn't wearing shoes, he shot up, knocking me off balance, with his quick seeker reflexes he managed to catch me and pull me so I was sitting on his lap before I fell on the floor.
I smirked at him as he moved my hair from out of the jumper I was wearing so it cascaded down my shoulders, his eyes still ridden with sleep.
I kissed his lips quickly before removing myself from his grip, which was surprisingly easy seeing as he was still only half here.
He looked up at me shocked once I was gone from his grip now wide awake, his eyes roamed over what I was wearing.
"Where'd you get the clothes?" He asked me while trying to stifle a yawn that was trying to escape.
I pointed with my thumb over my shoulder, "Hogwarts School has good fashion sense." I sang while then skipping off to the vanity that had just appeared equipped with everything in needed.
I grabbed the brush and tore it through my knotted hair, pulling out small hairs with it. Draco noticing my roughness ran up behind me and grabbed the brush. I raised my eyebrow at him, looking at him in the mirror.
"I don't want you to ruin your hair." He said like it was the most normal thing in the world before easily pulling the brush in my hair, causing all of the knots to simply vanish. I leant back slightly at his touch of my hair.
Once he was done he put the brush down, turned and headed into the closet.
I went back to the mirror and applied a small amount of makeup to my eyes and left it at that before magically using my wand that was there and making sure my whole body was perfectly clean along with my teeth, which were pearly white in the sun.
Once I was done I slumped in the chair and looked in the mirror, I saw Draco coming out of the closet in dark jeans, while doing up a white button up shirt. My eyes zeroed in on the small purple swelling on his neck where I had nipped at his neck last night.
"Uh, Draco," he looked at me in the mirror, "aren't you going to cover that up?" I asked while pointing at it.
"No," he said, finishing off his buttons and walking over to me, he grabbed my hands and pulled me up so I was close to him, "I like it, I'm proud of it." I blushed deeply at what he said. "C'mon, we need to get breakfast."
I reached for a pair of black trainers with little gems on them and slipped them on.
He said before grabbing my wand and pulling me out of the room into the deserted halls of Hogwarts, everyone was already down at breakfast I suspect.
"How are you feeling?" He asked me as we walked hand in hand. I looked at him, seeing his worried gaze; I knew what he was referring to.
"Never better." I replied while kissing his cheek then carrying on walking until we reached outside the Great Hall. "You go in first; I'll be in, in a minute." I said while tugging my hand out of his.
He nodded and walked in, after about five minutes I walked into the Great Hall to see Draco taking with Blais and the others, one of them, Nott, was pointing at the love bite I had given him, Nott then looked up at me and grinned.
I stuck my tongue out at him like the child I am and made my way over to Harry who was motioning me over to him, Ron and Hermione.
I plopped down next to him and smiled.
Harry spoke first, "Dumbledore told me that we will have to have your help finding the horcruxes when we go looking for them," way to be blunt, "he said you have been filled in on them." I nodded. "Well it's good to have you on the team, just… don't tell anyone else about them."
"I know Harry, don't threat." I looked over to a Luna and Ginny waving me over furiously, I turned back to the trio, "looks like I'm needed, see you later."
A chorus of "byes" went off as I left and sat with my besties.
"Okay Jade, spill," I looked at Ginny with fake confusion on my face. "What did you do last night? It's obvious, you weren't there this morning and Draco is gloating about something, so what did you do?"
I looked around the Gryffindor table, no one was in ear shot, then I looked over at the Slytherin table where all of the boys were watching me with amused expressions on their faces, Parkinson and her cronies were looking from them to us with venom sweating out of their pores.
When the boys caught me looking their smirks grew wider, I blushed and turned back to the other to who were wearing the same expression as the boys.
"What?" I asked while hiding my face behind a piece of toast.
"What happened?" Luna squealed.
"I'll tell you o the way to Hogsmeade." I said before standing up and abandoning breakfast, Ginny and Luna followed gossiping madly.
We trudged our way down the path to Hogsmeade, the snow lay undisturbed on the ground until I stomped on it.
"Tell us then." I turned to see them looking at me.
"Nothing bad," I shrugged before they both ran up and hooked an arm with each of mine. They turned me around just after I caught a glimpse of Draco, Blais, Nott, Crabbe and Goyle, all talking, this time Blais spotted me and nodded in my direction, I smiled back before I was towed away from them.
"You did it, didn't you." It was more of a statement that Ginny said than a question, they both squealed, "I take it his friends know about you two then, by the way he was talking to them." I nodded again, this time they were both so siked, Luna did a cartwheel in the snow while Ginny hugged me frantically. "Well, how was it?" She asked once I was released.
"It was… perfect." I smiled.
"He didn't pressure you or anything?" Luna asked.
"No, he gave me loads of chances to back out."
"Oh, how romantic," Luna sang dreamily, "oh look, Honeydukes sweetshop." They both grabbed my hands and pulled me in, we were the first in and they immediately started raiding the shelves for things they liked.
I heard the bell chime on the shop door, Ginny came around the corner, "Oh, hi Draco, Blais, Nott, Crabbe, Goyle, how are you?" She asked like the nice friend she was, Luna came around the corner smiling happily.
"I'm fine Weas- Ginny." Draco stuttered, slightly taken back that they knew.
"Good to hear." I smiled at her thankfully, she winked and disappeared around the shop corner.
I turned to see Draco smirking at my slight blush, all of his friends soon dispersed into the shop. He walked up to me, placed a slight kiss on my forehead then hugged me close.
"Did you tell all of your friends?" I asked while looking into his eyes, pulling back so he was towering over me more, he knew what I was referring to, thankfully.
"Nott sort of guessed then I was ambushed, what about you?" he asked while pulling me back to him.
"Ditto," I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him lightly before pulling away completely and looking around the isles of sweets.
"Anything you want?" He asked me, closer than I thought he was to me, I shook my head, "why?"
"Not many sweets hold that much appeal to me anymore; I prefer Mrs. Weasley's homemade stuff."
"Jade, we've got what we want; we can go to the bookstore now." Ginny said in a fake annoyance. I grinned, kissed Draco goodbye and skipped out of the shop.
We spent a good half an hour in there until Luna and Ginny said they were going to get something to warm up their fingers; I nodded while never breaking my gaze from the shelf I was looking at.
Once I had looked over all of the books and found nothing that appealed to me I said bye to the shop owner and entered the cold snowy streets again.
A light snow started to fall around me; I started to twirl around carelessly before focussing on meeting Ginny and Luna in the Three Broomsticks.
Walking in that direction I didn't notice the shadow in the alley until it put a hand over my mouth and pulled me in.
I squirmed in it's hold before he turned me around and smacked me roughly into the brick wall, he had dragged me so far down we were covered by the shadows, "silencio," as I tried to scream no sound came out.
In the darkness I couldn't get a clear view of his face, I could smell that he was drunk though, and I could see to my right that my wand had fallen out of my pocket at the entrance during my struggle.
"Ahh, a dirty little Mudblood," he drawled, his voice ruff and alcoholic, he brushed his dirty, greasy fingers down the side of my face, "aren't you a pretty one, I'll have some fun with you, and then the world will know what happens to dirty little whores like you." I let out a small noiseless cry as he pulled on my hair. "Don't cry you little…" he didn't get to finish as I balled up a load of saliva and spat it directly in his mouth, causing him to choke and release me, with no hesitation a started to the entrance of the alley.
I felt him grab my hair again and tug me back to face him again, then he smacked my head on the brick wall so hard I felt the bone crack and the warm blood ooze down the side of my face; grey dots taunted my vision, I shook them off and kneed him in the groin, he flinched slightly then got out his wand pointing it at my heart.
"Be a good little Mudblood and don't fight it." I knocked his wand away, it clattered against the other wall, then I saw a small shine of something before there was a sharp pain in my abdomen, he had stabbed me, that prick.
With the only power I had left I kicked him in the shins then the groin again, he collapsed on the ground.
I ran as fast as I could over to my wand, I bent down to pick it up then crawled out of the alley; there was blood trailing heavily behind me on the snow, tainting it crimson, blood was still falling from my head and now there was a knife in my stomach, the only thing slightly stopping the blood flow from there.
"Jade?" I tenderly raised my head up to Draco and his gang, he took a deep shaken breath of air when he saw me, I could only imagine what I looked like, the last thing I saw was him running to me with the others in tow, then my vision went black and all thoughts and senses of the outside of the outside world vanished.
