More Pain

Ok I'm thinking that I'm going to make this a sad chapter. I gotta get a lot of stuff in the next few chapters because I'm only allowing myself 50 chapters.


Draco was shocked. He was more then shocked. Sure, Harry and Ron now hated Leah but to do this during a quidditch match? It was all he could do to stop himself from summoning his broom and flying into the game. That…and the fact that he was with Hermione and she had her hand firmly on his shoulder. It surprised him that Harry wasn't mad at Hermione and that Ron hadn't broken up with her.

"Harry Potter seems to have spotted the snitch!" Hermione said. Draco sighed in relief. This game was going to be over soon. It only lasted about forty minutes but it was still bad. There were so many times after Hufflepuff had failed in scoring that Ron could have thrown the quaffle to Leah but he didn't. Harry was worse. He kept making it so that it wasn't possible for the other chasers to pass the quaffle to Leah. It was an amazement that he even saw the damned snitch.

"Finally." Draco said, once Harry caught the snitch. Leah looked more then relieved as she went to the ground and all but ran to the change room while the rest of the team met in the middle of the pitch. They had won the quidditch cup. Draco and Hermione practically ran down to wait once the rest of the team went into the change room.

"I'm surprised we even won!" Ginny said. "What is with you Harry?"

"Ginny." Leah said, pulling her shirt on as quickly as possible.

"Nothing's with me." Harry said.

"Don't worry about it." Leah said.

"The only thing with anyone is Malfoy with Leah." Ron said. Leah brushed her hair, ignoring Ron as best she could.

"Can't you stop?" Ginny asked. "You guys were fine with Blaise."

"Blaise didn't spend six years tormenting us." Ron said. Leah stood up, grabbed her bag and left. "Bet she's gonna go…" SMACK! Ginny had slapped Ron in the face.

"SHE'S YOUR FRIEND!" Ginny Shouted. "I CAN SORTA UNDERSTAND HARRY BEING MAD BUT YOU AND LEAH HAVE BEEN FRIENDS ALL YOUR LIVES!" She grabbed her back and stormed out, grabbed Hermione and headed to the castle.

"I can curse them you know." Draco said, running his hands up and down Leah's arms. They were sitting against a tree by the lake. Or more…Draco was sitting against the tree and Leah was sitting against him.

"Don't bother." Leah said. Ever since the fight a week ago, Leah had been depressed. Draco tried a lot of things to help her but none worked. Hermione and Ginny tried things as well…nothing worked.

"They deserve it." Draco said. He wrapped his arms around Leah and rested his chin on her shoulder, watching as people came in and out of the castle. "They deserve to die slowly and painfully." Leah stiffened. "Joking."

"Don't." Leah said.

"Why?" Draco asked. "You know they deserve something bad." Leah sighed and leaned back against Draco. "Baby, they're your friends. It's only been a week. As much as I hate to admit it…you'll probably be friendly again by the time the month is over."

"I doubt it." Leah said. "But thanks for trying." She turned slightly and kissed Draco softly. "I'm going to talk to Remus ok?"

"Ok. I'll see you in our dorm alright." Draco said. Leah nodded and kissed him again before getting up and heading into the castle.

She walked into the DADA classroom and wasn't surprised to see Remus sitting and probably grading papers.

"Hey." Leah said. Remus looked up and smiled. Leah looked at him curiously.

"I was wondering when you'd show up." Remus said. Leah raised an eyebrow. "I heard about what happened."

"Harry's side of it probably." Leah muttered.

"Yes." Remus said. "And then he got mad at me."

"Why?" Leah asked, tilting her head and sitting down.

"Because I said I was on your side." Remus said. "Always have been and always will be." He leaned forward and put his hand on Leah's shoulder. "Nothing is going to change that." Leah smiled slightly. She was happy.

"Thanks." Leah said. "You have no idea how much that means to me."

They talked for a little longer before Leah went up to her dorm. She went to the workroom and sat on a bean bag chair. She watched the TV.

Come to me…

Leah jumped and looked around, expecting to see Voldemort standing somewhere for she had just heard his voice. The TV was still making noises…and she could hear that…but she could also hear Voldemort.

Come to me…

Leah stood up and left the workroom. She was halfway across the common room when Draco came in. He stopped and looked at her before looking a little guilty because of the fact that he had a cut on his forehead and a black eye again.

"What happened?" Leah asked.

"Potter and Weasley." Draco said. Leah tilted her head. "I didn't do anything. All I did was walk past them I swear. Then they just jumped at him. If it wasn't for Ginny walking by and doing something then I would look worse then I do now."

"That's debatable." Leah said. She led Draco to the couch in the common room and sat him down before going into the kitchen and getting some ice. When she got back she sat down next to him and put the ice on his eye.

"OW!" Draco said, jumping back.

"You wuss." Leah said.

"This eye is black enough." Draco said.

"Aww…did little ol' me hurt the big bad Draco Malfoy?" Leah teased. Draco rolled his eyes. "I'm sorry honey." Draco moved back to where he was and Leah, gently, replaced the ice pack. After a few minutes of silence, Draco removed the ice pack and put his hand on Leah's cheek. She leaned against it.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked.

"What makes you think something's wrong?" Leah asked.

"That look on your face." Draco said. "That distracted look." Leah stood up. Draco stood as well. Leah looked at him.

Come to me…NOW!

She flinched and Draco stepped closer to her.

"Bloody hell." Leah said.

"What?" Draco asked.

"I…" Leah said. She looked up and sighed. "I'm sorry."

"What for?" Draco asked.

"This." Leah said, before punching Draco in the head so hard that he was knocked unconscious. She knew he would follow her and this was the only way she could think of at the moment that would make him not follow after her for a while. She looked up. "I'm coming."

Hermione and Ginny sat in a corner of the Gryffindor Common room at the other end of it from Harry and Ron. Both girls looked so angry that the guys stayed away from them. Ginny had told Hermione what happened and both girls shunned the guys.

The Fat Lady portrait swung open and McGonagall walked in. Everyone in the common room turned to look at her as she walked over to Hermione and Ginny.

"Miss Granger, Miss Weasley, have you two seen Miss Black?" McGonagall asked.

"No." Hermione said slowly. "We haven't seen her since the game. Why?"

"Because Mr. Malfoy has come to my office in a panic." McGonagall said. Hermione and Ginny gave each other scared looks before jumping up and running out of the common room to find Draco around the corner.

"What happened?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know." Draco said. "I told her about what happened, she puts ice on my eye, then jumps up and hits me in the head. When I woke up, she was gone."

"She knocked you out?" Hermione asked. Draco nodded. "That doesn't seem like something she would do." Harry and Ron appeared around the corner followed by McGonagall asked.

"Something's not right." Ginny said. "You don't think Voldemort found out…"

"He couldn't have." Hermione said. "You and me are the only ones that know."

"I know but…" Ginny said.

"There's no way." Hermione said.

"What are you two talking about?" Ron asked.

"Nothing." Both girls said.

"So what are we going to do?" Hermione asked.

"I got an idea." Draco said.

"Oh yeah? What would that involve?" Harry asked.

"Shut up Potter! The only reason I'm not cursing you at this moment is because of Leah." Draco said.

"What's your idea?" Ginny asked.

"Go undercover." Draco said.

Leah walked down a stone hall. She wasn't sure where she was. All she did was get off school grounds then apparate. This is where that brought her. Her footsteps echoed and Leah shivered. She knew what she had just done…walked into a trap. A trap she couldn't get out of. Her hand rested on her stomach for a second and she hoped nothing bad would happen to her baby.

"Here was me thinking you were the smart one in the family." Lucius Malfoy stepped out in front of Leah. Leah's instant reaction was the growl at him…and she did. "Well, well, well. You are very much like your father aren't you?"

"Why did Voldemort…" Leah started.

"Don't speak the Dark Lord's name." Lucius said. Leah rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "He's expecting you."

"Why? He's not gonna let you kill me?" Leah asked.

"He doesn't want YOU dead." Lucius said. "Yet." Leah's hand went subconsciously to her stomach again before she dropped both of them. Lucius turned and walked away. Leah hesitated for a second before following. Their footsteps echoed loudly through the hall.

"What is with bad guys and the creepy places?" Leah muttered. They continued walking until Lucius stopped in front of a black door. He turned back to face Leah.

"The Dark Lord awaits." Lucius said. Leah was glad she wasn't shaking or showing any signs of fear. She walked through the door into a pitch black room.

Draco threw on his cloak and walked into the building. There were Death Eaters all over the place. He found Snape and made his way to him. Little did he know that Harry, under his invisibility cloak, was right behind him.

"You look worried." Snape muttered softly to Draco.

"I am." Draco said.

"Why?" Snape asked, looking at Draco.

"Leah's umm…missing." Draco said. Snape went stiff. Draco didn't have time to think about why Snape suddenly seemed so fearful. "I have no clue where she is but I have a bad feeling she's…"

"Here somewhere." Snape finished for him. Harry looked at the two of them, confused. "Try asking the others but don't make it sound like you're worried. I'll try finding her." This shocked Harry. Next to himself, Snape hated Leah the most. All because of their parents. Why was Snape so fearful? Snape rushed off faster then Harry could follow so he stuck with Draco.

Leah stood in the middle of the empty room, blinking. The lights had suddenly come on and her eyes hadn't adjusted yet.

"So good to know that someone in your family has obedience." Voldemort said from right behind Leah. She didn't move but she did go stiff. His hands were on her shoulders. "Now…do you have any idea of why I feel you are such a threat to me?"

"Because I am…was…Harry's friend." Leah said.

"Was?" Voldemort said smoothly, removing his hands and moving to stand in front of Leah. She shook her hair back and stared at him. "No…you're still a threat, Miss Black. Now why would that be?"

"Why don't you tell me?" Leah asked, trying to move but finding her feet stuck.

"If I knew…I wouldn't be asking." Voldemort said. He started walking around Leah. She only turned her head slightly to watch him. He stopped in front of her again and looked at her. Leah flinched when he suddenly his hand on her stomach. "Oh…what have you done?"

"I swear to god if you…" Leah said but something stopped her.

"What are you going to do, Miss Black?" Voldemort asked. He removed his hand. Leah suddenly doubled over, her arms around her stomach. She fell to her knees and looked up at Voldemort, pain on her face.

"What did you do?" Leah said.

"Never…never will you get to be happy." Voldemort said.

"Why?" Leah asked, not referring to his statement but more to what he had done.

"Why not?" Voldemort said. Leah remembered this suddenly. Her eyes widened. "No one does to me what you have done. I'm just repaying the favour. Of course…you only hurt…where I killed." Leah groaned as another shot of pain went through her. She could feel it…everything the baby felt. She closed her eyes and could see it….withering around, trying to escape it's attacker's hands.

Draco had gone into an empty room right on time. He suddenly felt pain although he wasn't sure why.

"What the hell?" Draco muttered, leaning against the wall. The door opened and closed and Draco looked over to see no one. "Alright Potter what the…" He bent over as another bit of pain attacked.

"How do you know? And what the bloody hell is wrong with you?" Harry asked, pulling off the Invisibility cloak.

"Leah has one so I figured you had one." Draco muttered. "And I don't know what's wrong with me." He closed his eyes and was shocked by what he saw.

Leah cried out from the pain. Tears ran down her face. To add insult to injury, Voldemort was laughing and saying stuff. Leah made a noise as, behind her closed eyes, she watched as her baby finally stopped struggling and just seemed to disappear. She looked up, sadness and anger in her eyes now.

"You killed my baby." Leah muttered darkly. Voldemort was going to say something but at that moment the door opened. Leah didn't turn to see who it was as she heard quick footsteps walk into the room.


Ok this is shorter then the other but I realized I only need like two chapters with them back at the school after this.
