Chapter 20- The Told Secret
Harry looked at Hazel very calmly.
"Yes go on," he said.
"Harry...I don't know how to tell you this," said Hazel as tears silently and slowly ran
down her check.
"Hazel," said Harry had he tilted her head up to look at him straight in the eyes. "Trust
me."
Hazel closed her eyes for looking into his hurt too much. Not looking back up at him she
began to speak.
"Harry, Malfoy....", gathering up her strength she looked at him with no emotion. "Malfoy raped me."
Harry's breath got cough in his trough. He thought he could handle it but that theory was
out the window. His heart began to ring in his ears and Harry felt like he was going to
faint. After a couple of second Harry realized Hazel was looking at him with fear. He
reminded himself that he needed to be strong for her. So recollecting him self he let his
breath out and began to speak when Hazel dove herself into his chest and began to cry.
"Harry please don't stop loving me. I don't know what would happen to me if you didn't
love me any more. And I don't want to think what Malfoy will do if you just leave
me..."she was rambling in tears. Harry was trying to stop her when finally he grabbed her
shoulders and brought her into a kiss.
When they broke Harry spoke "I will NEVER stop loving you," he said very firmly.
Hazel smiled and kissed him again. As they kissed she thought, "Hazel you prat, why would you ever think Harry would hate you for something Malfoy did but..." she broke.
"Harry you have to listen to me. Malfoy said he would kill you if I told anyone. So we are going to have to tell NO one."
"But Hazel he has done something very wrong and he needs to be punished for it," he said reasonably.
"No! Harry I believe he will do what he said he would. I couldn't bear to live if anything
happened to you because of me," she said almost in tears again.
Harry started to feel like it was his fault, "Hazel I can't believe you kept your silence
because you were worried for my safety. I do not fear Malfoy. He hasn't been able to kill
me yet and I don't think he could ever. Especially now since I have this burning desire to
kill him." Harry ran his thumb down Hazel's check bone. "He hurt my perishes flower, now he's going to pay. I mark my word he will pay one day for everything has ever done to you."
"So you aren't worried about Malfoy's threats?" asked Hazel.
"No, but he did manage to scare me," said Harry as he wrapped his arms around Hazel's waist.
Hazel looked up at him.
"He did? How?"
"With the thought that he was hurting you," he said.
"Harry I love you so much," said Hazel hugging him closer.
"I love you too Hazel, that is why you are going to tell me everything that happened," said Harry.
She moved out of his arms. "Harry no, it will only hurt you more..." but he stopped her.
"Hazel I need to know," said Harry.
They were silent for a couple of minutes then Hazel realized Harry held something for her that no one else did and that was love. Pure, solid love.
"OK, I'll tell you."
Harry looked at Hazel very calmly.
"Yes go on," he said.
"Harry...I don't know how to tell you this," said Hazel as tears silently and slowly ran
down her check.
