Dark Secrets

Written By: DreamCloud53

I took in all of his sleek features. His almost white blond hair was slightly falling into his penetrating gray eyes. He was by far the most masculine person I'd ever seen. It must've been from all of those Quidditch sessions. He had a strong jaw line and perfect lips that drew into a large sneer when he saw me looking him over.

"Like what you see Granger?" I remained from saying anything to him. I'd seen his wrath before and I didn't want it turned on me. I leaned farther back in my seat and looked at him warily. "What? The 'oh-so-smart' Granger can't think of a comeback? What a pity."

"Go away Draco," I muttered a feeble reply. This was not what I wanted to do when I was trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my life. He gave me a wary look and raised his eyebrow.

"What's wrong with you today Granger? Sixth year blues getting you down?" He cruelly laughed. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I stood up and made my way towards the compartment door. As I laid my hand on the handle I heard Draco stand up. Out of the corner of my eye I saw his hand moving towards my shoulder. I bolted. I stopped when I was sure he wouldn't come after me.

She was sitting at her vanity slowly brushing her hair when the door opened and a dark figure walked in. She closed her eyes bracing herself. The dark figure removed his cloak and walked up behind her. He placed a hand on her shoulder, sliding the strap of her nightgown down a bit. He put his lips close to her ear and whispered, "Open your eyes." She obeyed and saw their reflection. She was pale with a fading but still slightly dark bruise under her left eye. Her hair was loose and falling down her back. He had his fingers wrapped around her small shoulders squeezing them slightly.

He looked evil standing with his black robes billowing out behind him from the open balcony window. Moonlight poured in on them shadowing his face as it came closer to her. He put a cold finger on her bruise and traced it lightly. "This is a mark that you are mine. If you do not want anymore of these, you will do as I wish. Yes?" She nodded her head. He grabbed her chin forcefully and gave her head a little shake, "Yes? I didn't hear you."

"Yes," she choked out trying not to cry.

How did I let this happen? I thought as I slowly made my way to a carriage. We had reached Hogwarts moments ago and I was yet again jerked out of my thoughts as the train came to an abrupt halt sending a few trunks and people into the floor and causing more than one person let out a strand of a few choice words. I pulled myself up into a carriage and laid across the seat. I heard the door open but I didn't want to waste energy opening my eyes to see who it was.

"It's you… again. What pleasure." I heard a cold voice say almost lazily. I sat up quickly causing blood to rush to my head. My eyesight went black and I grabbed the edge of the seat to keep myself upright. I pressed my other hand to my temple trying to make the dizziness subside. I felt a warm hand rest on my shoulder and gently press me back into my seat. I heard Draco mutter a spell and the blackness dissolved away and the dizziness disappeared.

I opened my eyes to see his staring at me intently, almost worriedly. He came closer to me as we continued staring at each other. We were now inches away from each other and my breathing had become shallow. I could feel his warm breath brush across my lips and cheeks. I felt a stirring inside of me. Not fear, as I felt when I was with Victor but… a feeling I couldn't place. Excitement maybe? Longing? Draco kept coming closer ending up only mere centimeters away from each other. I found myself wanting him to close that very small gap between us.

The carriage stopped in front of the castle gates, I hadn't even known we had began ascending the hill towards our home for the next few months. With one last look into my eyes he straightened up, got out of the carriage and started walking towards the doors leaving me alone with a million mixed up feelings rolling in my stomach.
