Draco P.O.V

I'm just in the room of requirements at the minute, having a break from fixing the cabinet when Blaise comes rushing in, looking pissed off and scared at the same time.

"You idiot!" he hissed. "You fucking idiot! Didn't I tell you that giving Slughorn that bottle was a bad idea! Do you have idea what happened last night?"

"No, why? What happened?"

"Ava almost drank the poison."

I feel the colour drain from my face. "What do you mean Ava almost drank it?"

"She, Potter and Wesley were in Slughorn's office yesterday because Weasley drank a Love Potion on accident and they went to him for help. Once Slughorn sorted out Weasley he poured them a drink, which just so happened to be the bottle you gave him. Ava smelt it and realised that there was potion in there and stopped them from drinking it."

"How do you know this?"

"I've just seen Ava in the library, I asked her where she was last night and she told me everything. Do you know what this means, Draco? It means Ava, and Potter and Weasley would have been dead and it would have been our fault! I can't do this anymore! This cabinet is fucking with my mind!"

I stand there, staring at him. Ava nearly drank poison because of me. She would have been dead because of me!

I ran out the room of requirement and rush off down the corridor. "Draco" someone says, as I push through the crowed, but I don't stop to see who it was. I walk in the nearest bathroom and rush over to the skin. I take off my jumper because it feels like I can't breathe.

I turn on the taps and splash my face with cold water, before I broke down crying. I couldn't hold it back any longer. I hate this. I really fucking hate it. I hate that my own father has put me in this position. I never wanted any of this. I never wanted to become a fucking Death Eater!

"Draco" I jump at the sound of the same voice that called me earlier. I turn around and see Ava stood there looking worried. "Is everything ok?"

"No! No everything is not ok! When were you going to tell that you almost drank poison?"

"I was going to tell you this morning, but you had left the common room by the time I got up. Then you didn't show up at dinner and I had no idea where you were, so I was going to tell you tonight. I'm guessing Blaise was the one who told you."

I nod and Ava walks over to me. She looks at me and wipes away my wipes. I look at her and kiss her, but doesn't kiss me and pushes me back a little.

"I don't think kissing it what you need at the minute."

"No, no I do. I don't want to talk, Ava, so don't even ask what I was crying about."

"You don't have to bottle everything up, you know. Talking helps."

"I don't want to talk Ava!" I say loudly. "I just want to kiss you."

"I don't th -" I cut her off by kissing her hard on my the mouth. She tries pushing me away but I grab her wrists and hold arms behind her back. A few seconds later, Ava slowly stats to kiss me back, and it's exactly what I need to help me forget about everything I'm going through at the minute.

I let go of her wrists and she pulls me closer to her, kissing me more passionate than before. I guess she realise that I need this after all.

"I know what you did, Malfoy" someone says, making us jump apart. We look and see Potter stood there with his potion book in one hand and his wand in the other. "You hexed her, didn't you? You hexed Katie Bell?"

"Harry, he was with me on that day!" Ava snaps.

"I know he did this, Ava!" Potter snaps back, pointing his wand at me. I pull my wand out and fire a hex at him but he moves out the way and fires one back. Me and Ava jump out of the way and it hits the sink behind us, making water go everywhere.

"Stop it!" Ava shouts. "Stop it before someone get hurts! - Please stop!"

We don't stop and carry on firing spells at each other. I was about to fire a hex at Potter but he got in there first.

"Sectumsempra" he shouts, pointing his wand at me, only it's not me who gets hit. Ava screams when the spell hits her in the chest. She's thrown backwards and disappear from sight.

I rush over to her but stop in my tracks when I see her lying on the floor with blood just pouring out of her body. "Ava" I whispers. "No! No! No!" I rush over to her and bent down. She crying and struggling to breathe.

"Draco" she whispers.

"Shh, it's ok - I'm here - You're going to be ok - Just - just don't close your eyes."

I look at Potter and see him just staring at Ava in horror. "Don't just stand there! Go and get someone!" I say, but he doesn't move. I was about to shout at him but the doors open and Snape comes rushing.

"Ava" he whispers, as the colour drains from his face.

"D-dad, help m-me" Ava cries. I stroke her hair, since I'm unable to do anything else. Snape rushes over to her and bends down. He pulls out his wand. "D-don't let m-me d-die" she says breathlessly.

"Shh, it's ok sweetheart. You're not going to die" he says, holding her hand. He starts saying a spell that I've never heard before and moving his wand over her body, which makes the blood disappear, and I'm guessing it's healing her cuts. Ava's breathing starts going back to normal and she grabs my hand.

I look at Potter and see him still staring at Ava. I also notice that his touching his body exactly where Ava is bleeding, which makes me narrow my eyes at him. He's going to pay for this! I'm going to kick the shit out of him when Ava isn't around.

I look back at Ava only to see that her eyes are closed. "Ava" I whisper.

"She's ok, she's just passed out " Snape says, before looking at me. "Take her to the hospital wing, explain to the nurse what happened and tell her to use Essence of Dittany."

I nod and gentle pick Ava up. As I'm walking out of the bathroom, I can hear Snape yelling at Potter. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! USING A SPELL LIKE THAT! YOU ALMOST KILLED MY DAUGHTER!"

Hopefully Snape makes him pay for this too. As I'm rushing down the corridor I can see people staring at me but I'm not paying any attention to them and carry on walking.

The second I walked into the hospital wing, then nurse came rushing over to me. "Oh my goodness. What happened to her?"

"She was hit with an unknow spell that made cuts appear all over her body. Her father healed her but he told me to tell you to use Essence of Dittany."

"Ok dear, can you put her down on bed two."

I nod and gentle lie Ava down on the bed. I look at her and she looks very pale. Madam Pomfrey comes rushing back over with Essence of Dittany in her hand. She pulls the curtains around the bed and undoes Ava's shirt. I look at her body and gasp when I see how bad the cuts look.

Madam Pomfrey puts a few drops on her cuts and they don't disappear like I thought they would, but they do look a lot better than before, although she's now left with 6 scars. Two going across her chest where her heart is, and four going across her stomach.

"She is going to be ok?" I ask.

"Yes dear, she's going to be fine, but I'm afraid that those scars are never going to leave" she says, before waving her wand and making her shirt close. She points her wand at me and I feel my clothes go dry.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. I've got other stuff to do, so I'll you rest but come and get me when she wakes up."

I nod and she open curtains then walks off somewhere. I look at Ava and she still looks pale. Why does she always get hurt because of Potter? He says he sees her as family, but you don't hurt your family the way he's hurt Ava! She's almost died twice because of him!

Just then Snape comes rushing into the hospital wing and over to Ava's bed. "Is she ok?"

"Yeah, she's fine, but she's left with 6 long scars though."

"It could have been a lot worst than that."

I nod, then look at him. "What did you do with Potter?"

"I've gave him detention for the rest of this year."

"That's it? He nearly killed your daughter and you give him a detention?"

"There wasn't a lot else I could do. I talked to Dumbledore and that's the punishment he has agreed on."

"Why isn't he expelled? He nearly killed her! Why is Dumbledore letting him stay?"

"He said he has his reasons!" Snape says, clenching his fits, clearly not happy with that decision either.

"This is bullshit! If this was anyone else, then they would have been thrown out of the school before they could pack!" I growl angrily.

Fucking Potter! He Always gets away with everything!

"I know" Snape growls quitely, before looking at me. "Tell Ava to come and see when she's free to leave" he says, before kissing her forehead. I nod and he leaves the hospital wing. I take Ava's hand into mine and rest my head on the bed.

I look behind me when I hear the hospital doors open. I narrow my eyes when I see that it's Potter. He looks at me before rounding around and quickly rushing off. I don't think so! I get up and quickly rush after him.

"Potter!" I shout. He turns around and he actually looks worried, before he could say anything, I punch him in the face, then again and again and again. I grab the front of his top and push him roughly against the wall.

"What the fuck were you thinking? You almost killed her, you twat! She would be dead if her father didn't save her! You say she's like your family so why do you keep hurting her? She's been hurt so many fucking times, and every single time she has been, it's been because of you!"

"I didn't know that the spell would do that."

"Then you shouldn't have used it! I understand that you were aiming for me but she was right there! She was right next to me! You must have saw her before you opened your mouth. I could have lost her tonight and it would have been your fault!"

I push him to the floor and walk off before I did something I would regret, well, I wouldn't regret it at all, but Ava wouldn't like it if I hexed Potter into space.

I walk back into the hospital wing and see Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle sat around Ava's bed. "Draco, what happened?" Blaise asks. "Some first year came running into the common room and said they saw you carrying Ava and that she was covered in blood?"

"Potter used an unknow spell and made cuts appear all over her body. She was bleeding really bad, and if Snape hadn't of saved her, then she would be dead now."

"Why would Potter do that?" Crabbe growls.

"I dunno. He was aiming for me but Ava got hit. It was horrible seeing her like that, she was crying, struggling to breathe and blood was just pouring out of her."

"What happened to your hand?" Goyle asks, pointing to it. I look at my hand and see that it's red and slightly bruised.

"I might have punched Potter in the face once or twice."

"Plus the rest" Blaise smirks.

"I would have done more but I knew Ava wouldn't like it, so I walked away - Oh and do you know what he got for nearly killing my girlfriend? Detention for the rest of the year! What kind of bullshit is that? He should be expelled, but of course, why would Dumbledore expel his stupid golden boy?!"

"If this was anyone else, then they would have been thrown out" Crabbe says, clenching his fits.

"Especially if it was the other way around and you used that spell instead of Potter" Goyle adds.

I nod in agreement. "Can you imagine? That oaf would probably try and get me send to Azkaban. He's always favoured the Gryffindor's more than any other house."

"He's a prick" Blaise growls. "I stopped liking him after he took the House Cup off us in first year."

Crabbe goes to say something but stop when Ava jumps in her sleep. She opens her eye and blinks a few times, before she starts panicking and touching her body.

"It's ok" I say, making her look at me. "Your father healed you whilst you were passed out" she sighs in relief. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm ok, just feel a little dizzy."

"I'll go and get the nurse" Crabbe says, before walking off. I take Ava's hand into mine and she smiles at me, then it turns into a frown when she sees my hand.

"You hit him?" she asks.

"Yes! He almost killed you, Ava! He deserved it, he deserved more actually."

"And I'm sure my dad will take care of that, so don't go after him again."

"All your father has done is given him detention for the rest of the year!"

"That's it?" I nod and clench my fits. That prick should have got more. "Well, I hope dad makes them horrible as possible."

I smirk a little and go to say something but stop when Madam Pomfrey comes rushing with Crabbe following her.

"Here, drink this, it a potion to help with the dizziness" she says, handing Ava a cup. She sits up and drinks it all. "You're going to be ok but I want to keep you in overnight."

"That's fine" Ava says, lying back down.

Madam Pomfrey looks at me and the boys. "You lot can stay a little longer, but when I ask you to leave, I want you to leave, do you understand?"

"Yes ma'am" we all answer. She smiles at us then walks off.

Ava looks at me. "How bad is it?"

"You have 6 scars. Two going across your heart and four on your stomach."

"I want to see them" she goes to take her top off but I stop her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! The boys are still here."

"Sorry, I didn't think. I just wanted to know what they look like."

"We're not complaining" Blaise smirks. I glare at him and he hold his hands up in defence, which makes Ava giggle.

"We will just give you a few minutes" Goyle says. Crabbe and Blaise nodded and they wait by the next bed as I pull the curtains around us.

I look at Ava only to find that she's already taken off her top and is looking at her scars. I watch her run her finger over over all 6 scars and I can see the tears in her eyes.

"You're lucky that your father knew what spell to use to heal you" I say, walking over to her.

"I know. I can't believe Harry almost killed me! I mean what the fuck was he even thinking? Using a unknown spell without knowing what it did! Harry has done some stupid shit in his life, but this by far is the most stupidest thing he's ever done! And he gets away with it! Fucking detention! If this was anyone else, then they would have been kicked out of school. I see being the chosen one as it's fucking benefits!" she says angrily.

"Then again, it's Harry, isn't it? And he always gets away with shit" she adds, before sighing and looking down at her body. "Ugly scars!" she mumbles, putting her top back on.

She looks at me but I have no idea what to say to her so I just kiss her. She smiles and starts kissing me back. We wasn't kissing her long when we hear Crabbe's voice. "Are you wo finished in there?"

"Yeah, we look like weirdo's just standing there" Goyle adds. I groan in annoyance as I pull away from Ava. I walk over to the curtain and pull it open. They sat around Ava's bed where we spend the next hour talking.

It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes all I can see is Ava bleeding and crying on the floor of that bathroom. I look at the clock and see that it's half 2 in the morning.

I wonder if Ava's awake, I thought as I stared at the ceiling. There's only one way to find out.

I get out of bed and grab my top and jacket off the floor and put it on, then I grab my wand and leave the room. I quickly rush to the hospital wing before any teachers catch me. I slowly open the door and I can hear Ava talking to someone. I quitely walk in and make my way over to her bed, but stop in my tacks when I hear Potter's voice.

"I know, and I'm so sorry!"

"Sorry? You think a sorry is going to make up this? You nearly killed me, Harry! If it wasn't for my dad then I would be dead right now! What the fuck was you even thinking?"

"I wasn't thinking when I said it, but I swear, I didn't know it was going to do that."

"It says for enemies! What the hell did you expect it to do? Give me flowers! You should never have used it in the fire place!"

"I know, ok? I know I shouldn't have used it!"

"Then why did you? You could have said anything else but that! And anyway, it wouldn't have ended the way it did if you had just stayed out of the bathroom. You had no reason to be in there in the first place!"

"I went in there because I want to know what he's up to."

"He's not up to anything."

"I know that he is! He's a Death Eater, Ava, and he hexed Katie Bell."

"How many times do I have tell you? He was with me on that day."

"She touched a cursed necklace that he knew about."

"Knowing about a necklace doesn't prove that he did it."

"I know he's up to something, Ava, and deep down, you're thinking the same, aren't you?"

"No" she says quickly. Too quickly to be telling the truth.

"I don't believe you! It's written all over your face."

"I'm not jumping to any conclusions about Draco, and it's got nothing to do with us on what he's up to."

"I think he's trying to kill someone, Ava!" Potter says and I feel the colour drain from my face. Does he know what I've got to do? No, of course he doesn't. He said he thinks I'm trying to kill someone, so he's only guessing at this point. Although, it's a very good guess.

"K-kill? No, no, you're wrong! Draco wouldn't kill anyone."

If only she knew, I though, sighing sadly.

"He gave Katie Bell that necklace, and I think he put poison in that bottle of wine.

"You're jumping to conclusions again, Harry. This is like 2nd year all over again."

2nd year? Ava wasn't here for 2nd year, so what's she talking about?

"No it's not!"

"Yes it is, one tiny bit of information and you go off on one. And like I've said before, he was with me on that day."

"He gave it to Crabbe or Goyle then."

"They didn't go into Hogsmeade's that day either. They were both in detention with my dad."

"Zabini then."

"Blaise was on a date with a Hufflepuff girl a year above us" Ava says, which makes me frown in confusion. Then I realised that that's what he told her he was doing as a cover story for him being in the room of requirement all today.

It was a bad idea though because Ava wanted to know everything about his 'date' He just told her that it didn't go well and that he doesn't want to talk about it.

"I don't believe that Draco is trying to kill anyone, Harry, even if he is up to something, I know it's definitely not so he can kill someone. Draco is not a murder, he's not!"

I look down at the floor. She's really going to hate me when she finds out that I was the one who killed Dumbledore but I'd either have her hating me, than have her dead because of me. When she finds out the whole truth though, I hope that she understands that I didn't have a choice.

"I beg to differ, Ava. I wouldn't put anything past Malfoy."

"What have you done with a book anyway?" Ava asks, clearly not wanting to say anything else on the matter, which I'm grateful for or Potter might start putting shit in her head.

"I've hid it somewhere where no one with find it."

"Well that's hope no one does, because that book is dangerous" Potter must have nodded because he didn't say anything and Ava started talking again. "Does your face hurt?" she must have poked him or anything because I heard him groan.

"Yes, you dick!" Ava laughs and Potter groans again. "Stop poking me!" he hissed, smacking her hand away. "Anyway, I only came to see how you are, so I'll let you get some rest and I'll see ya soon."

"Ok, good night, Harry."

"Good night, Ava" I hear him stood up and I move against the wall when I see his shadow moving closer to me. I see him walk out of the hospital wing and stood there for a while before walking out an act like I've just walked into the hospital wing.

Ava jumps when I clear my throat. She looks at me and smiles. "What you doing here?"

"I couldn't sleep so I thought I would come and see you" I say, walking over to her. Ava moves over and I get into bed with her and she cuddles up to me.

"Are you tried?" Ava asks.

"Not really, you?"

"Same" she looks at me. "Do you want to do something?" I wink at her and she rolls her eyes. "You have a one-track mind."

"What does that mean?"

"It means your mind it stuck on one thing."

"Well, I'm only a man, after all."

"We are not doing it in the hospital wing."

"Why not?"

"What if we get caught?"

"But that's what makes it more fun" I say smirking. "So, what do you say?"

"Ok, but if we get caught, then I'm blaming you."

"It won't be me that get us caught anyway, it will be you and your big mouth."

"I don't have a big mouth" she huffs.

I look at her. "Are you sure though?"

She nods. "I'm sure, you?"

"I'm sure" I whisper before kissing her. I didn't think my night would end like that but it was fun and we didn't get caught.
