"How are you holding up?" Destiny asked Mia, concern evident in her eyes
"I'm really good D, nothing to worry about" Mia smiled brightly, she didn't want to concern Destiny
"Good I'm glad, you can always come and talk you me you know, I'd love you too" Destiny smiled
A males voice cleared itself behind them
Mia turned around, "Draco, what are you doing here?"The penny finally dropped and Mia looked between the other two people, whose gazes never left each other's faces.
Destiny walked slowly up to the boy, "Draco?"
"Destiny?"
Hermione watched from the sideline as Destiny and Draco embraced, and quickly decided to leave them alone. There was obviously something she didn't know about and shedidn't want to intrude.
As Mia walked out the door she took one last look at the two blondes, smiling when Destiny mouthed 'thanks'.
How did I not see it before, there both blonde hair, both have the famous Malfoy blue eyes, they really are spitting images of each other. I wonder where Dest fits into all this, Draco never told me he had an older sister, and Destiny always changed the subject when I tried to talk about her family, so I just dropped the subject.
"Hermione, there you are, we have been looking for you. Come along, Do you know where Mr. Malfoy is?" Hermione broke away from her thoughts to see Professor McGonagall and the other two prefects, wanting Draco and Destiny to have some family time, Hermione lied.
"I don't know Professor, but if you'd like I could go and look for him later, and show him the common room ect"
"That would be appreciated"
"So, Mia, what happened with Malfoy after we left" Padma whispered as they fell into step behind McGonagall.
"Oh, uh, we talked, and called a truce"
"You're kidding me" Colin broke in, "But he's always been an ass to you, and the rest of the school, why would you call a truce?"
Hermione thought fast, "Can you imagine us being trapped in a common room with Malfoy constantly at our throats" She said, mock shuddering
"Oh, true, I never thought of that" Colin said
"Does the truce count for us as well?" Padma whispered
"As far as I know," Mia whispered as they stopped in front of a portrait.
The portrait was none other than Violet, the Fat Lady's annoying and nosy friend.
"What would you like your password to be?" McGonagall asked the three.
They debated, and chose 'hope'.
Violet swung open, allowing them entrance to their new quarters. It was gorgeous. The common room was a dark royal blue, with black furniture; the only thing brightening the room was a massive fireplace, which was cracking merrily. There were five doors connecting off the room, each labeled individually. "H. Granger" "P. Patil" "C. Creevey" "D. Malfoy" The last room was not labeled, but upon entry the prefects discovered that it was a bathroom.
Hermione raced to see what her bedroom looked like, and gasped. It was not the Gryffindor colours she had pictured, but a deep dark green, which surprised her. Her bed was a black metal four-poster, with a black duvet.
Hermione went through a door to the right of her, and found herself in a massive bathroom, featuring a bathroom the size of a pool.
She went back into her room, and grabbed out her diskman, and preformed a tricky little charm that Malfoy had taught her, making the diskman work on the magic in the air, rather than electricity.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
"MIA!" Colin hollered.
"What?" She said, wandering back into the common room.
"What were you doing in there?"
"Listening to music, why?"
"How, were at Hogwarts, doesn't stuff like CD players and all that not work with magic"
"I know a spell"
Colin perked up, "Oh, you have to teach it to me, that's the worst thing about Hogwarts, no muggle music!"
"You like muggle music" Hermione asked, surprised
"Hell yeah! Anyway, me and Padma wanted to know if you wanted to come down to the kitchens for some cocoa with us?"
"Sure, and if we get caught we can always blame it on Prefect duties" Hermione said, smirking
"Every job has its perks"
Five minutes later the three were sat in the kitchens, food being piled onto them.
"Man, this years gonna kick arse!" Colin said, "We have an excuse to be out at night!"
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Padma said, a sparkle in her eye
"PARTY!" Colin shouted
"Wow, you two are really different this year"
"No Mia, your just starting to see the real us, and not from behind a book!" Padma said, laughing
"True"
The three talked well into the night, and Hermione smiled to herself Wow, I'm finally starting to make friends that don't just want me to do their homework for them! Thank god I'm home again, I've really missed this place!
-MEANWHILE-
"Dest, why? Why did you leave me behind?"
"Oh Dray, I didn't leave you, baby brother, Father wouldn't let me anywhere near you, do you remember when Father-"
"Yeah, I remember" Draco cut in, not wanting to hear the words
"Remember how you took off?"
"Yeah"
"After you left Father tried to do the same to me, saying that I'd corrupted Dimitri, and that he was going to kill me before I corrupted you, so I ran, I kicked him somewhere 'sensitive' and bolted. I tried to get Mother to come, but you know how she is, even after everything he'd done to her she still loved him, so I left. I tried to find you Dray, I checked everywhere I thought you'd go, but I couldn't find you. The next day I went back to the house and you were there, Father was out, probably getting rid of Mitri's body, and I snuck in to see you. Mother got to me before I could find you, and she told me that Father was at the ministry taking away all records of Mitri. Don't ask me how, he must have bribed someone- you know how good he is at that, but after that there was no mention of Mitri anywhere, although there was of me, but it said that I was a single child, not a twin. I went and stayed with Gamma- Mothers' Mom. We fought to have you put in our custody, but Fathers' money had reached places we couldn't even imagine, and our plea was denied. In the end we received so many people trying to dispose of us that we had to go into hiding. I guess if Father had really wanted us dead he could have done it, but to him we were no more than an annoyance, and he just couldn't be bothered, I expect."
During Destiny's speech Draco remained silent, but now he spoke "It's been five years Dest, I was only ten! How could you leave me like that for five years, do you know how much that bastered did to me?"
"Trust me Dray-dray, I know" Destiny said, reverting to her childhood name for Draco.
"What do you mean Dest?" Draco said, picking up on the bitter note in her voice.
"No, don't worry, its nothing"
"No D, we've been apart too long, I don't want any secrets between us anymore, and I want to know everything"
"This is against my better judgment little brother, but okay. You know what Father did to the Muggles he captured, before he killed them." She said, referring to the rapes.
"Yeah" Draco said, suddenly afraid of what Destiny was going to say.
"He did that to me."
"Oh Dest, I hate him, if he was still alive I'd kill him with my bare hands, I really would, there'd be nothing left of him…"
"Dray..." Destiny cut in "It's okay, it was years ago, I've come to terms with it, it doesn't matter" Destiny said, only lying about the last part.
"But it does, Dest…he tried to make me do it" Draco said, finally for the first time, sharing the secret that had haunted him for so long.
"What" Destiny went cold…her little brother was…a rapist?
"I didn't though Dest, he had me under the Imperious, but I broke free and ran, but I got so close Dest, I could se the horror in her eyes, could feel her terror, and I nearly did it I couldn't stop myself, but then I forced myself too. I feel so guilty Dest, what if I hadn't fought it?"
Relief washed over Destiny in waves "But you did Dray, that's all that matters. You did fight it, you never raped her and that all that matters in the end"
"So…you don't hate me for it"
"Of course not Dray, if anything I just hate Father more" Now it was Draco's turn to be relieved. He reached out and hugged his sister.
The two Malfoy's clung to each other, making no effort to wipe away the tears pouring down their faces.
"Don't make me go back their Dest, please,"
"Voldemort couldn't make me send you back there now that were back together," Destiny said "Nothing is going to separate us now. I promise. I love you"
"I love you too big sis"
