Disclaimer: not mine, never was, never will be.
A/N: thank you to all of my wonderful readers who actually reviewed, and doee anyone actually read what I ramble on about? Because I tend to ramble on a lot, I think I may even be rambling now, oh and a really good movie is Dragonfly, I saw it the other night. It's awesome. Fine, fine, OK Stormie stop trying to bite my hand off! Here's the story!
~*~*~*~*
"No please, please don't make me! Please! I promise, I wont tell anyone! Just please don't make me!" Stormie screamed as the tall, dark shadow loomed over her. She could feel the laughter all around her.
"You silly little girl! You're my favorite source of amusement. Now, be a good little girl and do this willingly or your going to make me hurt you again." The cold voice said sending new tears and waves of panic through Stormie.
"NO, don't touch me! I will tell my brother! I will, I will, I will!" she screamed at the dark figure, which once again laughed at the small girl now huddling in a corner.
"No you wont Tempesta, because you will have to tell him exactly what it was I was forcing you to do. And how would they know that you weren't doing it willingly?"
The dark figure walked closer, running his cold hand up her leg and under the black school skirt. She was forced to lie down, she felt the pressure of his body over hers and. . .
Stormie sat up. It was 2:30 in the morning. She was breathing hard and sweat was making her p.j.'s stick to her skin. She stood and walked into the bathroom. She splashed some cold water onto her pale face. 'I want Brite.' Was the only thought that went through her mind before she broke down in tears. She tried to calm herself down. She knew she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep by herself. She hadn't had one of those nightmare/memories since they had moved but when she did have them back in Salem, she would always go to Brite. He would let her sleep with him. Bradian would, too. It was just that Brite only asked once about the dream and when she had told him she didn't want to talk about it, he hadn't asked again. Or at least not till the next one. Bradian asked constantly. She knew he would know what the dream was about but she wasn't sure she wanted to go to him or to Mel.
Mel had her own nightmares, always the same one. She wouldn't go to Mel. She stood up; somehow she had slid down to the floor while crying. Tears still streaming down her face, she made her way to her brother's dormitory. She opened the door and walked in. She could hear the boys snoring and made her way around the room, looking in each bed until she found Bradian. She gently shook him awake.
"Wha?" he asked. Turning over.
"Bradian wake up!" Stormie hissed at Bradian's back while shaking him again. Finally he turned over.
"Storms! What's wrong?" he asked seeing the tearstains that were on his little sister's face. "You know your not suppose to be here right?" he asked.
"Bradian, I had a nightmare." Was all she could choke out as more tears started to fall.
"About what happened last year?" he questioned, and all she could do was nod. "Fine, come on." He said pulling back the covers. She slipped in next to him. "Brite's gonna be here soon, you know." She nodded. "I'm sorry he's not here now. I know you two are closer than me and you Storms, but I love you too." He said as he pulled his little trembling sister closer.
"I know." She said, then was wracked with more sobs and tears.
"Storms, I think that Brite might be coming to stay." He said in an attempt to cheer up the girl lying beside him. Besides, he knew for a fact that Brite was going to stay at Hogwarts, but it was supposed to be a surprise. After a while, the girl feel asleep in her brother's arms. Luckily, no more dreams came.
~*~*~*~*
'Warm' Stormie thought to herself she opened her eyes, and turned. Bradian was still asleep, his arm still around her. She smiled remembering how he had tried to comfort her after her nightmare. He had resorted to telling jokes until she fell asleep. She carefully slipped out of the bed, not wanting to wake up Bradian. She crept out of the dormitory and back to her own. It was a Sunday. She pulled out a pair of light blue jeans and a white sweater. She showered, got dressed and looked at the clock. She still had about thirty minutes until breakfast. She sighed. She didn't want to go back to sleep now that she was dressed. Rain was curled up on her pillow. She smiled at the small tiger.
She decided to just go roam around the school till the Great Hall opened up. She picked up her messenger bag; she never went anywhere without it. She made her way out of the common room and down the hall. She decided to go visit the kitchens and watch them make breakfast. She quietly crept down towards the dungeons when she heard a familiar drawl.
"What are you doing up this early?" asked Draco, who had been going to ride his broom when he had seen the small girl sneaking towards the kitchens. He eyed her. She was sporting a pair of tight low fitting jeans, which left little to the imagination. Not like he needed his imagination, he had seen her naked before.
'Great, that's all I need to make this mourning worse than last night.' She plastered on a fake smile and turned around. "It's truly none of your business, besides, what are you doing up this early?" she asked.
"I am always up this early." He said in a voice that clearly indicated he wasn't letting her go until she answered him. She sighed.
"I didn't sleep well last night." She said, hoping he would leave it at that.
He arched one of his perfect eyebrows. "Another bad dream?" he asked, and she nodded. "And where did you go last night after you woke up from your bad dream? I mean, you weren't in the kitchens because you would be sneaking away from them, not to them." He said.
She sighed; she hated to admit that she was so scared that she had to go sleep with her brother. "I um. . . well, I went to sleep in my brothers dorm." She said, not looking up.
"Not with Potter I hope?" he said she looked up, horrified.
"Hell no! That's disgusting! I slept with my brother. I would usually go to Brite, I'm closer to him than Bradian, but he was the closest thing." She said, wondering why she had just told him this very personal information.
"Why didn't you go to Mel?" he asked, for the first time using Melody's nickname.
Stormie shrugged. "Mel has her own nightmares, but mine are worse. I don't want to worry her with my fucked up dreams." She said in a low voice. 'Damn, I did it again. More personal information!'
"So you remember this nightmare then?" he asked, remembering their previous conversation when she had had a bad dream. She nodded. He sensed she didn't want to talk about it. "So, um, you wanna go outside?" he asked. She looked up in surprise. Whatever she had been expecting him to say it wasn't that.
"Sure." She said. And followed him out of the castle. They walked in complete silence up to the qudditch pitch. She smiled at the memory of Pansy running around naked, causing Gryffindor to lose; the first time since the famous Harry Potter had become seeker.
"What are you smiling about?" Draco asked, noticing her happy face.
"Oh, I was just remembering when I caused Gryffindor to loose their match against Slytherin for the first time sience Harry Potter has been seeker." She said, still smiling.
"You? How did you cause that? Pansy's the one that decided to run around naked in the middle of a game." He said, looking somewhat confused.
Stormie laughed. "Well, me, Gin, and Mel were kinda black mailing her and Potter because. . . well, if you read the diary you would know." She said looking around at the empty stands. She shivered slightly.
Draco let out a laugh. "Yeah, I would have never imagined Potter sleeping with Pansy. I mean, since the dance, I knew that she liked him, or at least his 'wonderful smile and warm eyes'." He said, quoting the diary. Stormie laughed.
"We thought you would be more angry that your girlfriend was sleeping with someone else behind your back." Stormie said, eyeing the tall blonde in front of her. 'Gods, I wish I would have brought my cloak!' she mentally slapped herself for not bringing it with her, but then again, she wasn't planning on going out on the grounds.
"You have a very sick mind. You know that, right?" he asked her. She looked somewhat confused. " Do you really think that I would sleep with her?" he asked, disgust evident in his tone.
Stormie shrugged. "She is your girlfriend." She said simply pulling her strawberry hair out of her face. He sighed.
"My girlfriend, my girlfriend, my girlfriend." He mumered to himself, rolling his eyes. Stormie shrugged again in reply. "She isn't exactly my girlfriend. She sorta just follows me around and calls me her boyfriend. I got tired of trying to explain to her I wasn't and just let the psycho bitch think what ever she wanted." He said, looking up at the sky above them.
Stormie laughed. "So basically, you couldn't care less that she was fuckin Potter, huh?" she asked. He shook his head.
"I knew she had been sleeping with Potter, and if one day she asked me something about would I forgive her if she slept with someone else, and I told her I wouldn't care as long as it wasn't Potter. I was going to tell her that I found out and 'break up' with her over Christmas, but then a little pixie gave me her diary in Potions, which I used as a reason to get rid of her. That's what happened that day in the hall. She was pissed because I refused to forgive her. Now she's just an irritable bitch who keeps begging me to forgive her." He finished.
Stormie remembered that day a couple of weeks ago when she had blown up at Pansy for something she had said. The only thing that she remembered clearly was when Mel had told her that she needed to tell someone about last year. She looked up at Draco. He was a pampered, spoiled brat. Much like she was, he wasn't ready for anything that mind blowing. And Ginny, well she would probably go into shock with the stories. Stormie closed her eyes, willing the memories of last year out of her mind.
"We can go to breakfast if you want." Draco's voice cut through her thoughts. She opened her eyes and smiled.
"Good, its cold out here anyway." She said as she turned to walk back up to the castle.
"Why didn't you tell me you were cold?" he asked as he handed her his heavy winter cloak. She smiled and wrapped it around herself.
They walked back to the castle in silence. Both were thinking about their own problems. Draco walked her back to the Great Hall. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Wanna eat with me?" she asked. Draco laughed.
"I'm not sure your housemates would like that very much." He said. The Hall was still empty. She shrugged.
"I never cared what they thought before, why should I start now? The only ones I care about like you." She said. He cocked his eyebrow up.
"And who exactly would that be?" he asked, somewhat amused at the little girl's logic.
"Well, my brother for one. He thinks anyone who hates Potter as much as you do is pretty cool. Potter made some sort of remark about Gin constantly following him around, and Bradian almost bit his head off. He doesn't like people who make fun of me or my friends." She said, looking thoughtful.
"And she doesn't she like your brother, anyway?" he asked looking at her. She shook her head.
"He treats her like me, a little sister. She just wanted to piss Potter off that night, it happened before the dance." She said.
"So is your brother the only one who likes me in your house?" he asked. She shook her head.
"Mel likes you. She says there's more to you than you want people to know." Draco cocked his eyebrow again. "Mel is going to be a seer, actually, she's sort of one now. She can't see into the future or anything, she just can tell stuff about a person. I hate the fact that I can't keep a secret from her. She always knows." She pouted for a second before continuing. "Oh yeah, and Gin likes you. She says you never where mean to her, just her brother and the dream team." Stormie waited for his reply.
He finally shrugged and agreed to eat with her. They sat and started talking and eating. Stormie carefully avoiding any conversation dealing with dreams. Suddenly the doors flew open and in walked a very disshelved looking Melody.
"Mel, what's wrong?" asked Stormie looking worried. Melody's blue eyes were red from crying. She walked over to her cousin and threw her arms around her. "Melody Samantha Heartstrings, what the hell is wrong?! You're scaring me!" Stormie said while forcing her cousin into a seat. Draco looked at the older blonde, she was still in her p.j.'s and had obviously not brushed her hair.
"I. . . I. . . Oh Storms! I saw it. All of it! I saw your dream! I didn't mean to! Gods Storms, how can you live with those memories? I'm so sorry that you can't come to me when you have them!" Draco looked back and forth between the two girls. Melody was crying and carrying on about Stormie's dream and Stormie looked horrified. Draco cleared his throat. Melody looked up but started to cry harder. Stormie just sat there.
"You just put your cousin in shock you know." He said pointing to Stormie. Melody let out a small moan. Draco sighed. Whatever Stormie dreamed about was a very traumatizing experience from her past. His thoughts went back to what Melody had said. Memories. He stood up. Melody just looked at him.
"Well come on. It seems you have suffered a shock too." He said as he picked up the limp Stormie and headed to the Medical Wing with her with Melody sniffling all the way behind him. He pushed open the sound proof doors and noticed their wasn't anybody in any of the beds. He sat Stormie down on one that was by a window and forced Melody to sit on the one next to it. "Stay." He said when she made an attempt to get up. She quitely sat back down on the bed, tears streaming down her face.
Draco made his way to the nurses office and knocked. Madam Promfrey opened the door and looked somewhat surprised to see him standing there. He quickly explaned all of what he knew of the situation to the nurse.
"Dear me." Was all she said when she saw Stormie lying there. She forced the girl to drink a potion that would help her sleep without dreams. She than forced Melody to drink the same potion. Draco left when the woman told him there was nothing he could do and he shouldn't spend the day in the infirmary. He went to go find Bradian or Ginny.
He looked every where, but with no success. He sighed. Then he saw Hermione Granger walking down the hall.
"HEY GRANGER!" he yelled from behind her. She turned, she was holding a book 'what's knew about that?' he thought to himself.
"What, Malfoy?" she asked impatiently.
"I need to find Gin or Bradian!" he said once he had caught up with her. She gave him a questioning look.
"Why?" she sighed.
"Stormie and Melody are in the Hospital Wing and I thought that Gin would want to know her best friends were sick and Bradian might want to know considering they are his family members."
Hermione looked at Draco and sighed.
"Follow me." She said as she led him up to Gryffindor Tower. She told the portrait the password and revealed her common room. Draco walked in, earning himself glares, but he wasn't paying attention. He saw Bradian sitting on a couch talking to Ginny. 'Thank gods for making this easier for me.' He thoughts he walked up to the people setting on the couch.
"Draco!" said Ginny looking at him. Bradian turned and smiled.
"Gin, Bradian." but before Draco could get out another word Ron Wesley decided to butt in.
"MALFOY, DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO MY SISTER! AND AS FOR YOU GINNY, WHERE DO YOU GET OFF CALLING MALFOY BY HIS FIRST NAME?" Ron screamed.
Draco rolled his eyes, 'so much for this being easy.'
"Ron, will you kindly shut the fuck up? Draco was trying to talk and I'm interested in what he has to say; and as far as me calling him Draco, I've been doing that since the begging of the year. If you paid any attention you would know that." Ginny said before turning back to Draco with a smile. "Now, what were you saying?" she asked politely.
Draco looked at Ron, he looked about ready to faint, and Draco wanted to make a comment but remembered why he had come here in the first place.
"Storms and Mel are in the Hospital Wing, shock." He said. Ginny looked like someone had just slapped her and Bradian looked about ready to curse anyone who had hurt his baby sister.
"Where's the infirmary?" Bradian asked
"Come on, I'll show you." Draco said, and Ginny made a move to go to but her prat brother stopped her from taking more than two steps.
"YOU ARE NOT GOING WITH THEM! IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THAT GIRL IS A BAD INFLUENCE ON YOU AND I FORBID YOU TO HANG AROUND WITH HER!" A very pissed Ron said. To everyone's amazement Ginny yelled right back.
"RONALD WEASLEY, IF YOU DON'T MOVE YOU'RE ASS FROM IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT THIS SECOND I WILL CURSE YOU INTO NEXT YEAR. THEN, I WILL TELL MUM EXACTLY WHERE HERMIONE SLEPT ONCE EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP OVER THE SUMMER! DON'T FUCKING MESS WITH ME RON! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR GETTING YOUR ASS INTO!" with that, she pushed Ron aside and continued to follow Draco and Bradian out of the common room and to the infirmary, seething the whole time.
~*~*~*~*
Mrs. Italy Johnson looked at her only daughter in concern. "Are you sure she's going to be all right?" she asked the nurse yet again. The nurse nodded. It had already been a week. Melody had been up and about, feeling very guilty about Stormie's state. Italy looked up when she heard the door open. In walked Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, Bradian, Brite, and Devin. Brite, who was out for Christmas break had decided he was going to start Hogwarts after Christmas and him and Devin had insisted going with their mother to see their sister.
"Hey Mom, how's she doing?" asked Bradian's identical twin brother, the only difference being the little diamond studs he wore in both of his ears. He had had to explain quite a few times that it was an American thing. He had his brother and Draco wanting one.
"She's still sleeping. Bradian, why didn't you tell me she was still having nightmares?" she asked her other son.
"She doesn't have them, well except the one she had the night before she went into the coma." He said, eyeing the tiny being under the blanket.
"Draco dear, you said the two of you had to do a project for Potions?" Italy asked the tall blonde boy. He nodded. Italy let out a sigh. "Um. . . why don't you help him, Brite? You like potions." The woman said to her son who shrugged and turned to Draco.
"Common kid, let's go do some work." He said as he dragged Draco towards the door.
"Kid?" Draco questioned, frowning. Brite shrugged. "Let me guess, it's an American thing?" questioned Draco.
"No, it's a Brite thing. He calls everyone a kid, even our parents." Bradian answered for his twin.
Draco allowed Brite to pull him out of the Hospital wing, followed closely by Gin.
"Well, I guess it's time we told someone about the rapes." Italy said to the two boys still in the room, each visibly flinched at the word.
AN- Yay! Chapter finished! By the way, for anyone who actually reads this, or even cares Tempesta is Itt. for storm. Happy Reviewing!

"Mel, what's wrong?" asked Stormie looking worried. Melody's blue eyes were red from crying. She walked over to her cousin and threw her arms around her. "Melody Samantha Heartstrings, what the hell is wrong?! You're scaring me!" Stormie said while forcing her cousin into a seat. Draco looked at the older blonde, she was still in her p.j.'s and had obviously not brushed her hair.
"I. . . I. . . Oh Storms! I saw it. All of it! I saw your dream! I didn't mean to! Gods Storms, how can you live with those memories? I'm so sorry that you can't come to me when you have them!" Draco looked back and forth between the two girls. Melody was crying and carrying on about Stormie's dream and Stormie looked horrified. Draco cleared his throat. Melody looked up but started to cry harder. Stormie just sat there.
"You just put your cousin in shock you know." He said pointing to Stormie. Melody let out a small moan. Draco sighed. Whatever Stormie dreamed about was a very traumatizing experience from her past. His thoughts went back to what Melody had said. Memories. He stood up. Melody just looked at him.
"Well come on. It seems you have suffered a shock too." He said as he picked up the limp Stormie and headed to the Medical Wing with her with Melody sniffling all the way behind him. He pushed open the sound proof doors and noticed their wasn't anybody in any of the beds. He sat Stormie down on one that was by a window and forced Melody to sit on the one next to it. "Stay." He said when she made an attempt to get up. She quitely sat back down on the bed, tears streaming down her face.
Draco made his way to the nurses office and knocked. Madam Promfrey opened the door and looked somewhat surprised to see him standing there. He quickly explaned all of what he knew of the situation to the nurse.
"Dear me." Was all she said when she saw Stormie lying there. She forced the girl to drink a potion that would help her sleep without dreams. She than forced Melody to drink the same potion. Draco left when the woman told him there was nothing he could do and he shouldn't spend the day in the infirmary. He went to go find Bradian or Ginny.
He looked every where, but with no success. He sighed. Then he saw Hermione Granger walking down the hall.
"HEY GRANGER!" he yelled from behind her. She turned, she was holding a book 'what's knew about that?' he thought to himself.
"What, Malfoy?" she asked impatiently.
"I need to find Gin or Bradian!" he said once he had caught up with her. She gave him a questioning look.
"Why?" she sighed.
"Stormie and Melody are in the Hospital Wing and I thought that Gin would want to know her best friends were sick and Bradian might want to know considering they are his family members."
Hermione looked at Draco and sighed.
"Follow me." She said as she led him up to Gryffindor Tower. She told the portrait the password and revealed her common room. Draco walked in, earning himself glares, but he wasn't paying attention. He saw Bradian sitting on a couch talking to Ginny. 'Thank gods for making this easier for me.' He thoughts he walked up to the people setting on the couch.
"Draco!" said Ginny looking at him. Bradian turned and smiled.
"Gin, Bradian." but before Draco could get out another word Ron Wesley decided to butt in.
"MALFOY, DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO MY SISTER! AND AS FOR YOU GINNY, WHERE DO YOU GET OFF CALLING MALFOY BY HIS FIRST NAME?" Ron screamed.
Draco rolled his eyes, 'so much for this being easy.'
"Ron, will you kindly shut the fuck up? Draco was trying to talk and I'm interested in what he has to say; and as far as me calling him Draco, I've been doing that since the begging of the year. If you paid any attention you would know that." Ginny said before turning back to Draco with a smile. "Now, what were you saying?" she asked politely.
Draco looked at Ron, he looked about ready to faint, and Draco wanted to make a comment but remembered why he had come here in the first place.
"Storms and Mel are in the Hospital Wing, shock." He said. Ginny looked like someone had just slapped her and Bradian looked about ready to curse anyone who had hurt his baby sister.
"Where's the infirmary?" Bradian asked
"Come on, I'll show you." Draco said, and Ginny made a move to go to but her prat brother stopped her from taking more than two steps.
"YOU ARE NOT GOING WITH THEM! IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THAT GIRL IS A BAD INFLUENCE ON YOU AND I FORBID YOU TO HANG AROUND WITH HER!" A very pissed Ron said. To everyone's amazement Ginny yelled right back.
"RONALD WEASLEY, IF YOU DON'T MOVE YOU'RE ASS FROM IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT THIS SECOND I WILL CURSE YOU INTO NEXT YEAR. THEN, I WILL TELL MUM EXACTLY WHERE HERMIONE SLEPT ONCE EVERYONE WAS ASLEEP OVER THE SUMMER! DON'T FUCKING MESS WITH ME RON! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR GETTING YOUR ASS INTO!" with that, she pushed Ron aside and continued to follow Draco and Bradian out of the common room and to the infirmary, seething the whole time.

Mrs. Italy Johnson looked at her only daughter in concern. "Are you sure she's going to be all right?" she asked the nurse yet again. The nurse nodded. It had already been a week. Melody had been up and about, feeling very guilty about Stormie's state. Italy looked up when she heard the door open. In walked Draco Malfoy, Ginny Weasley, Bradian, Brite, and Devin. Brite, who was out for Christmas break had decided he was going to start Hogwarts after Christmas and him and Devin had insisted going with their mother to see their sister.
"Hey Mom, how's she doing?" asked Bradian's identical twin brother, the only difference being the little diamond studs he wore in both of his ears. He had had to explain quite a few times that it was an American thing. He had his brother and Draco wanting one.
"She's still sleeping. Bradian, why didn't you tell me she was still having nightmares?" she asked her other son.
"She doesn't have them, well except the one she had the night before she went into the coma." He said, eyeing the tiny being under the blanket.
"Draco dear, you said the two of you had to do a project for Potions?" Italy asked the tall blonde boy. He nodded. Italy let out a sigh. "Um. . . why don't you help him, Brite? You like potions." The woman said to her son who shrugged and turned to Draco.
"Common kid, let's go do some work." He said as he dragged Draco towards the door.
"Kid?" Draco questioned, frowning. Brite shrugged. "Let me guess, it's an American thing?" questioned Draco.
"No, it's a Brite thing. He calls everyone a kid, even our parents." Bradian answered for his twin.
Draco allowed Brite to pull him out of the Hospital wing, followed closely by Gin.
"Well, I guess it's time we told someone about the rapes." Italy said to the two boys still in the room, each visibly flinched at the word.
