Chapter 23: Scars

END OF DREAM

"NOOOOO!!!"yelled Malfoy.He woke up sweating and shaking.His shirt was drenched in cold sweat.He pulled in off and threw it aside,he laid back down thinking about the dream.It couldn't be real, He couldn't believe his father had killed her mother,But why was the question that burned inside he couldn't believe there was such a person in the world to tare apart a family who hadn't done anything wrong.And Gabi was here in the Slytherin common room or in her dorm.Or was she? the more he thought about it ,the more he came to believe his father is capable of something like that.He got up so fast that he tripped over his shoes.He kicked them aside,ran to the door pulled it open and rushed down the stairs.As he ran his heart was beating faster with each step,What if Lucius had her? What if he hurt her? Malfoy had to know.He tripped over his feet and fell down the stairs."AHHHH! YOU BLOODY STAIRS!!"was what Gabi heard. Loud crashing thumps were coming from the stairs she looked up and saw Malfoy tumbling down.

"Malfoy!"she yelled and ran over to him.People in the common room stared as he landed face flat on the floor.She helped him up,he looked at her and his heart stopped beating so fast, 'Thank God 'he thought."Umm...Malfoy...wheres you shirt? Is there something wrong?"she asked.Malfoy gave her a puzzled look,he then realized the dream and that it wasn't real she was here safe.He didn't want to worry her so he tried to come up with an excuse,for falling down the stairs and the fact that he had no shirt,and that all the Slytherin girls were staring at him."Oh....ummm.....Look the thing it fell!" he said pointing at a chair.She turned around and he made a run for it upstairs."It was just a dream....why did i get so worked up about it"he murmured to himself.He walked over to his trunk looking for a new shirt,he found a rather big black t-shirt and pulled it on.

He went over to his mirror and looked at himself.A scar from his temple to his cheekbone was still visible.He ran a finger down it and flintched.He could still remember the pain,the hit that knocked him out.He then pulled up his right sleeve to see another scar,it had healed but it was a deep gash and never going to fade.There were three large bruises on his left leg, A line on the back of his head which used to be another scar and still was,were he cracked his skull when his father pushed him down the stairs.Another couple of cuts on his wrists were he attempted to commit suicide one day.

There were whip marks on his back,were Lucius whipped him once with a rope.As well as another cut,which wasn't visible but Malfoy knew was there; on the side of his head above his ear.His life was pretty much covered with scars.His mother tried so hard to stop Lucius from beating him,that she was hit as well.Then there were time when Malfoy had almost died due to Lucius constant beatings.He hit Malfoy hard in the stomach once with his cane,that Malfoy had started to cough and throw up blood.Fearing the worse,his mother rushed him to ST.Mungo's,They healed him at once.He was around 7 years old.There were other times when Lucius just beat him,He had punched him once in the face and knocked his tooth out.Once again did Narcissa have to take Malfoy to ST.Mungo's.There was another time when he used The Cruciatus Curse on him for no reason.Malfoy had figured because he had a bad day at work.It was usually a daily retinue as well as the beatings and the Verbal abuse.But never did Malfoy cry,scream or complain during the time we went through the curse.He held his head high.

Yes,Draco Malfoy lived one hell of a life, a very sad one.His father had attempted to strangle him once to death,just because he had been playing around in his study.Malfoy was about 6 years old.There was another time were his father found him in his study,Malfoy was 2 years old and he had made a mess.He was 2 years old and didn't known any better,Lucius grabbed him and took him to the bathroom,he took out his cane and beat him until he was black and blue.During this time he did cry in pain, then he had filled the tub with ice cold water.Little Draco was shaking blood running down his cheek were he had a cut.Blood running down his legs from the several cuts and scratch marks which later turned into bruises.Lucius grabbed his head and forced him into the water.

Lucius was trying to drown him,Malfoy tried screaming but only bubbles went up to the surface,he kicked around trying to come up for air.But his fathers grip was to tight around his neck.He started to slowly stop kicking and thrashing around.His lungs were about to explode,and he felt very dizzy.His pulse was slowly fading away as well as his heart stopped beating at the normal rate.Lucius saw that he was turning blue.He smiled and was about to finish him off when Narcissa arrived.She called out his name,Lucius quickly pulled Malfoy out, he wasn't breathing.Lucius began to panic,he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his small body.He then carried him to Narcissa who took him to ST.Mungo's.That was his first experience with death.He hoped it was to be the last.....There were a couple more cuts,bruises and scars on his body,but remembering them brought many horrible flashbacks of the years he went through hell.

Malfoy tore his eyes away from the mirror and walked over to the window.He looked out for a while,the sun went down slowly;And the stars lighted up the sky.He closed his eyes and felt a warm,wet , liquid making its way down his cheek.It fell landing on the carpet leaving a red stain.Malfoy didn't notice he lifted his hand up to wipe away the many tears that were falling,he didn't know why but he wasn't crying.As he pulled his hand away,he saw his hand and gasped it was completely covered with blood."What the hell?".He stood up and he felt really dizzy,he staggered around tripping over his own feet.' what the bloody hell is wrong with me?' he thought.The tears kept on coming down,he made it to the bathroom,as he washed his hands he was afraid to look up in the mirror.He was blinking blood, the tears fell into the sink turning the water red as it dissolved.His vision became very blurry,he could hardly see anything.Malfoy tried to call out for help but his lips wouldn't move.

Everything was fading,turning blood red.Suddenly he was shot by an incredible amount of pain.It went through his body to his head,everywhere.He let out a scream,and hit the floor,the tears rolling down his bloody cheek.He tried to crawl to the door,but felt himself give out as everything around him went black.
