Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. And none of the characters are mine
expect Gwen and her family. Yeah and in the book I think James Potter was
an only child or they just never really talked about his side.

Chapter 9
Uncovering The Truth
It was now the middle of November and Gwen had been depressed ever since that miserable ball. Draco often tried to catch her eye to talk to her but she just walked passed him holding back those blasted tears that which she have been shedding these long nights. And every time Draco stepped towards her to talk directly Ron or Harry would step in front of him and act all big and touch. This whole time Hermione and Gwen have been going off alone a lot more to talk, nothing really specific just to have girl talks.
Harry's revenge hadn't taken place quite yet; he was still thinking of a way to get the Slytherin back. He noticed Gwen was also getting paler then her usual milky white complexion and she grew sickly looking as well. She also kept her flesh hidden from view. Harry often wondered why this was. She wore so many bracelets that the sleeves often annoyed her and she would roll them up no matter how cold it was. Harry remembered yelling at her a few times to kept covered up more. And she usually unbuttoned her shirt a bit because of the same reason with her many necklaces now buttoned it all the way to show nothing but a little neck. Harry also wondered if anyone stole these items. Most of the students haven't been treating her well lately. Harry also heard rumors since before the ball that Pansy was going to get Gwen. It was a known fact that Pansy was obsessed with Draco and hated Gwen for stealing him from her for the ball.
A few weeks passed and it was all the same the rumors, Draco trying to talk to Gwen, what was that about? Harry thought this was very odd. He also noticed Hermione and Ron weren't fighting that much anymore they just kissed. The silence at times was kind a creepy. Gwen seemed to look so sickly and weak that if a feather touched her fragile figure she would break like a porcelain doll, a beautiful porcelain doll. She stopped eating and her flaming black eyes had died to a morbid nothingness. Harry was surprised Gwen changed this much after Draco just standing her up. She stayed depressed for so long. He noticed it worsened right after Gwen got her second letter ever. She didn't let him see it at all she just burned it and never said another word about it. But she went to see Dumbledore a few times a week. Gwen also stopped coming to him after her nightmares. Every time he tried to talk to her about this she just told him they weren't that bad any more and walked off. But Harry knew better, he asked Hermione about and she said that the screaming had gotten worse, so much worse that it even broke the silence charm she put around her bed.
But one Friday while leaving potions, which she had all morning with the Slytherins until lunch, Gwen forgot her black leather journal in the classroom and went back to get it. Draco was there still collecting his books rather emotionless. And that was another thing Harry noticed. Draco seem to detach him self as well after Halloween. When Gwen was around his express was utter pain and when she wasn't he was emotionless and quiet. Gwen went to grab her journal trying not to make a sound as to alarm Draco of her presence. But she was shaking so much from lack of protein, for when she went for the book her shaking hand knocked it off the table and it hit the ground with a thud. Draco turned around to meet eye to eye with Gwen. Heavenly silver-blue met a chaos of black. But it wasn't the same eyes something had killed them both. Gwen wondered what that was and Draco wondered if he killed those eyes.
Gwen reached out a hand to get her book and so did Draco. He wanted to talk to her to tell her. But then he realized there was a very deep gash on the under side of Gwen's wrist. It also looked self-inflicted and he knew what those looked like. They were long and sharp and perfectly made. Before she could draw her arm back to her self he took it and looked at it, then at her eyes. They were welling up with tears begging Draco not to but he did it anyway. He pulled up her sleeve to reveal over a hundred gashes in her moon ashened skin. Then Gwen couldn't control her self anymore she burst out crying, the tears running down her cheek and landing on Draco's robe as he held her close comforting her.
Harry had entered the room unknown and saw it all, including Gwen's arm and he knew she had done them as well. All the pieces came together in his head, the never revealing clothing and never eating and also the not coming to him after her nightmares. She was afraid he would see them in the morning. Harry turned back to Draco and Gwen who were still in a tight embrace. Harry held his breathe long enough to hear Draco repeating the words "it'll be ok." This got Harry very upset.
He thought, "How would it be ok! She's been cutting her self because of you! And you haven't even explained her self! You don't even say sorry!" As Harry were rolling these thoughts in his mind his eyes caught Draco's hands had moved to Gwen's lower back and leg but they weren't staying there. Draco's hand came onto Gwen's ass and kept his there but he was pulling at the cloth of her robe. "Malfoy's taking advantage of her weakness!" Harry shouted in his mind.
He decided this was the right time. Every one was at lunch it would be perfect. He lunged at Draco pinning him to the floor. Harry just started punching him and punching him, wailing on him with all his might. For some reason fate twisted it self once again and Professor Snape walked in on this episode and leaped to pull Harry off of the now semi-conscience Draco. Harry had been yelling "YOU FUCKING GIT! YOU HURT HER! YOU HER MY LITTLE EVEN STAR! TOUCH HER AGAIN I'LL KILL YOU!" Snape' eyes' fell upon Gwen and her arm, all cut up and mutilated. It was quite sicken to look at.
Gwen was so confused she didn't know who to help Draco or Harry. She just pushed her self into a corner and brought her knees to her chest. All three of them were brought to the hospital wing. There Harry say next to Gwen's bed. Her arms, legs, thighs and chest were all bandaged up. Finally after 20 minutes of complete silence Harry asked if she was mad at him. His exact words were "Evening Star? Are you mad at me? I'm sorry I failed in protecting you." Harry was the only one who called her Evening Star besides Matt. Her mother use to call her that before she put her to bed or when she was wrapping up a wound John gave her. She just simply nodded no. Gwen could never stay mad at Harry. He really was a great person. Draco was in the bed next to them, awake but his head was turned away from the two, they thought he was still unconscious. Unknown to the both of them he was crying.
"Harry I got another letter." Her voice got quite scratchy and Harry had almost missed it.
"I know. Who was it from?" Harry grabbed Gwen's hand and gripped it tightly.
"John. My step-father." Harry's eyes widened but said nothing so she would finish. "Matt's gone. John thought he came here. He also said that he was badly hurt. Not like he cared or anything all he cared about is if Matt knew the secret."
"What secret?"
"It's not the right time to voice it. But Matt doesn't know. I've been going to Dumbledore and he's looking for Matt but he isn't like jumping over it because he's not in any trouble. Matt didn't take the key so he was less likely to be suddenly jumped."
"So he's ok?"
"As far as they know. I should have taken him with me!" Gwen broke down crying. By the sound of tears falling Draco turned towards Gwen and Harry. Draco's face was pretty banged up but that was all that was really hurt. He got up and moved towards Gwen bed and stood next to her.
Harry sneered at him but Draco didn't notice or wasn't standing down this time. Gwen looked up at Draco and stopped crying. "Gwen would you let me explain?" There was this emotion in Draco's eyes; neither Harry nor Gwen could explain it. It was beyond pain and sorrow combined. "You know Pansy right? She's this wicked Slytherin girl." All Gwen did in responds was nod. "She said when she saw us together she was going to spill Stanbolt juice on you." This juice made a person's clothing disappear and the skin turn green and a tail grow from the lower back and it would take weeks for it to wash off and all you had to do a spill it all over a person. When Harry gave her a rather confused look she explained what the potion did. It was used a lot during April Fools. Draco went on, "she said she wouldn't if I didn't go with you and go with her. But I didn't I told her I got sick and she just gave me a look and said typical and if I decided to come down and find you she would have the juice waiting. She also said she would tell you it was my idea to utterly humiliate you, that me asking you out was just a trick. So I had no other choice but to stand you up."
"But I wanted to see you so I went around the long way and climbed the bushy Blue Leafed Oak. You know it use to be green but Seemus turned it blue. At least he didn't blow it up." Draco tried to smile at the memory of the stunned Seemus trying to change the tree back before a Professor came and saw what he did. "I watched you all night. I wanted to run to you and hold you and tell you but I kept an eye on Pansy. I've been trying to talk to you, to explain to you but some people haven't let me." Draco threw Harry a disguised glance.
"You're telling the truth!" Gwen said sitting up in her bed. "Harry my back isn't prickling!"
"What, prickling?" Draco asked utterly confused. But he was interrupted with Gwen throwing her arms around his neck.
"Draco, I'm sorry. I was wrong. But you were taking advantage of Gwen's weakness. I saw your hand on her ass."
"So Potter your finally wrong about something," but Draco's sneer turned into a frown when Gwen slapped his arm. "Look about that I was pulling at the her robe because I wanted to see where else she had cut. I could feel scabs on her sides through her robe. You were wrong again!"
"Couldn't you two stop it for once!"
"I'm sorry," the two announced looking down. The hatred before the two died that day in the infirmary. When they told Hermione and Ron about Draco and Gwen's new relationship it took Ron a while to come to terms with it but both of the sidekicks didn't put it past Pansy do be that mean and inhuman.
