Ding, Dang, Dong, chimed the loud grandfather clock in the corner of my bedroom. 6:30 it read, as I got up, not looking in the mirror, not grabbing any clothes, and mind you not wearing any clothes, I walked into the bathroom. Stripped of my bandages, I stepped into the shower and allowed the boiling water to run over the long deep gashes imprinted in my back. My father had hit me again after out usual ritual yesterday morning. And as per usual it left marks and scars, and I lost blood.

A door opened a fair way away from the shower, but the large area of the bathroom made things seem louder than they seem.

'Some-ones in here', I grumbled as I turned off the water.

'You're in the shower, not the bath', she answered as I shook my head as I heard her dump a heavy load next to what I supposed was the bath. Water began to run as I got a towel and wrapped it around my waist.

'Get out, Granger', I said stepping out of the shower.

'Too late', she said as she slipped into the bath. I was so close to killing her as I marched up and stood at the edge of the bath. 'Yes?' she said as if she owned the place, which made my blood boil. My hands found they're way to my hips as I was restraining anger.

'Get out, Granger', I whispered venomously as I still stood there. All of a sudden she began shaking, her eyes had rolled around to face the back of her head and she was shouting. She was shouting things like: "Not so strong now, Mud blood" and "Die, Mud blood".

'Granger, Granger, wake up?' I whispered kneeling in the bath holding her hips to shake her.

'Shit', she said rubbing her head, 'What happened?' she asked shaking her head. I rolled my eyes at her expression and sneered.

'You spazzed out and the lights blew, Lumos', I answered as my wand lit up the space between us. She closed her eyes, o I closed mine and quickly opened them fast, only to watch hers open a moment later. I could tell my emotions were showing but I thought I was going to die.

'Can I get out now?' she asked grabbing my shoulders. I nodded and automatically stood up, pulling her along with me. I watched her slip out of the bath, run to her clothes and sprint to her bedroom door.

'Shit', I moaned as I kicked the water.

..: Little did I know…that was to be the beginning of a whole chain of events:..

'Quill, scroll, Make a letter to father about my fake events today so he can leave me in peace', I said slipping clothes on, grabbing my bag and walking down into the common room to wait for Granger. Finally she appeared at her door.

'You're late', I sneered as I gripped my book bag strap.

'No need to wait for little old me', she said as I released my strap and gripped the couch instead.

'The instructions said we had to leave together', I sneered as I let go of the couch and got up.

'I only read the letter', she said as I took a step towards the door.

'well, well, well, don't we have a lazy had girl', I said as I plastered my family's smirk on my face.

'Just grab your book bag and let's be on our way', She said as we reached exited the common room.

'You're late', Snape said as we walked in.

'Sorry professor', she said as I sat between Crabbe and Goyle.

'40 points from Gryffindor', Snape said as he continued on with the lesson.

'What, Malfoy was late, what happened to his loss of points?' she shouted as I smirked and laughed with Crabbe and Goyle.

'Mr Malfoy was only doing his duties', Snape said simply walking around the classroom.

'And so was I, fuck, you treat Gryffindors like shit, yet your "Precious Slytherins" get off Scott free', she shouted as my smirk grew wider. 'I know no-one will back me up on this but, I'm not going to sit around while you treat us like shit', she stated as I held in a chuckle of glee. I watched with glee as Snape ran out shouting 'Miss Granger get back here'. My laughter could be held no more as I burst out and smashed my head on the table. A few minutes later Snape stormed in, my laughter had stopped and I went back to looking serious.

'Get out, all of you', Snape shouted as everybody rushed out, including me. I was going to stay behind and ask what happened but thought better of it.

'Draco…' Snape asked as he stepped back in the door.

'Tell your father, that the prize has grown', I questioned him with a look, but he just waved me out.
