Daddy Chapter Six

Marcus practically floated back to his dormitory after his encounter with Oliver in the corridor. It was the best thing that had ever happened to Marcus. He could think of nothing else. Didn't want to.

As Marcus opened the door to his room, he found somebody sitting on his bed.

His father.

"W-what . . . what are you doing here?" Marcus asked shakily.

"I came to see my son! That's why I'm here." His father replied as he smiled. Marcus was confused. His father never came to the school to see him. There was something going on.

"Why did you want to see me?" he asked.

"Well," his father began as he stood up and started to walk towards Marcus, "I was informed that your grades were slipping. I came to find out why. I thought that maybe Quidditch practice was the cause, or, maybe even a girl! But, I was WRONG!" Marcus' father yelled as he pushed his son to the floor. "I SAW YOU KISSING A BOY! Not just ANY boy! IT WAS A GRYFFINDOR!" his father screamed in rage as he kicked Marcus in the back. Marcus screamed in pain.

"Daddy, please!" Marcus begged, "Stop!"

No amount of begging would make his father stop. His father would beat him until he was satisfied. Marcus knew that from experience. His father kicked him several more times before he straightened his robes and left, leaving Marcus in a bloody heap on the floor. He could barely move or speak. Marcus just hoped that somebody would find him and help him before be bled to death.

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Madame Pomfrey!" Adrian Pucey cried out as he and Terrence Higgs brought Marcus into the hospital wing.

"Good Heavens!" Madame Pomfrey gasped, "What happened to him?"

"I . . . don't know! I mean, Terrence and I were coming back from dinner at the Great Hall and we went looking for Marcus because he wasn't there and we just found him like this. Is he gonna be okay?" Adrian asked with concern in his eyes. Terrence just stood beside Adrian and started at the floor. Adrian thought he saw a tear slide down Terrence's cheek.

"I can't say anything for sure. Now, help me bring him over here!" Madame Pomfrey replied as she motioned towards one of the many hospital beds. Madame Pomfrey had pain in her eyes as she fussed over the hurt boy.

"We can only hope he makes it through the night." She whispered.
