Winter went rather quickly for Skarlett. During the time which Winter went and Spring came, Skarlett had kept to her room, being visited by Draco everyday. Most of her days were spent on the chair by the window, looking over the oak tree by the lake.

Draco was so compassionate to her. Usually she would curl in his arms, but now, She would just hang onto his hand and that was it. She knew it would be about time for her to let him show his love, but there was one thing she must do before moving on. Confront Harry.

Draco came in early one morning on the weekend and brought in some food from the hall.

"Draco, can you help me?"

"Uh, what with?"

"Help me, be with me, I want to confront Harry."

Draco's face was filled with shock and anger.

"I will not let you see him! Not after he hurt you!"

"It wasn't him. Well it was, but not spiritually, the eyes, the only person with eyes like that, is none other than Lord Voldemort." Draco winced at the name, despite his Father being a supporter for you-know-who.

"I beg you, Draco, Do this for me." Skarlett said, holding his hand and wrapping it between her two.

"Ok, but if Potter lays a finger on you, I will hurt him."

"..Ok.."

Skarlett dressed into her robes and followed Draco down the stairs. People looked at her like they knew what had happened, which was far from the truth.

Harry, Hermione and Ron were sitting under the oak tree, Hermione waving her wand around, and Ron and Harry both stumped while writing their assignments.

Skarlett walked up to the tree and looked at the three of them.

"Hey Skarlett, where you been?" Ron said.

"Away.."

"Where?" Harry asked. This was all it took, that word impacted into her mind and she ran with hand over her mouth towards the garden and vomited.

"What's wrong with her? You put a bun in the oven Draco?" Harry giggled and did a high five with Ron.

"No, but you dorkhead, have scarred her for life. You, you disgust me!" Draco said maliciously.

"Huh, how did I do that?!" Harry said standing up facing Draco.

"You r-"

"You raped me." Skarlett said taking a deep breath of air.

"I what?! You're crazy!" Harry said.

"Had any blank spots you can't remember? Perhaps Saturday the 25th of January was the date? In the morning? You were in my room! Your eyes changed! Harry you were possessed by Voldemort!"

Harry's face dropped and his mouth opened. He started breathing heavily. Skarlett's face was stony. Hermione was shocked and Ron was staring at Harry like he was a maniac.

"Oh My God." Harry stood motionless.

"Harry, if there is one thing you must do, learn Occlumency." Hermione said.

"Skarlett, I am so sorry.." Harry said.

"Harry, I know it was not you. Don't blame yourself." Skarlett said not looking into his eyes.

Draco steered Skarlett away, and she wrapped her arm around him. Draco was shocked and stopped. He turned towards her and she looked up at him.

"Does this mean we are ok?"

"We are on the way there, just.. slowly..." Skarlett said smiling.

Draco brushed his lips over hers and gave her a big hug.

"You know what? I think we should actually think about something important, like our wedding." Skarlett said.

"Only when you are ready, I don't want to rush you."

"I am ready, but please promise me you won't tell anyone about whats happened."

"You know I won't and What about Potter and the rest?"

"..They won't tell anyone, I know they wont.."

Draco looked down at Skarlett and shrugged. She Shun a smile towards him and led him to the lounge to look out the window.

"See the sunset? Our wedding should be there, near your manor, by the lake. But before that, I wish you to accept my friends. And I have an idea how."
