Chapter 7

caution. there is a scene of rape later in this chapter. dont say I didnt warn you...

Later that night, Harry lay awake, his mind all a flutter. Soft snores from Neville echoed around the quiet dormitory, and a few garbled words fled the lips of Seamus who was in a deep sleep.

Harry noticed that Ron, was also awake. He lay on his back, his eyes glued to the ceiling, obviously deep in thought. Harry didnt know what to say to make everything better. He knew Ron was very upset, but there was no way he could think of fixing it.

Harry turned on his side so he was facing Ron, "Ron," he whispered, "Can I talk to you please?" "I'm trying to sleep." whispered Ron, who hadnt taken his eyes off of the ceiling. Harry sighed and got out of bed, "Listen Ron," he said taking a seat on the edge of Ron's bed, "You have to talk to me..."

Ron turned over and away from Harry, "There's nothing to talk about"
"Yes there is," Harry said desperately, "Listen Ron, I'm sorry."

Ron turned his head, visible tears forming in his eyes, "I didnt know you were like this Harry," he said sniffling, "Why didnt you tell me? Especially about Fred and George!" He wiped the tears out of his eyes, "What else are you keeping from me Harry?"

Harry shrugged, "I dont know Ron...I'm sorry...what else can I say," he looked down at the wood floor and started kicking Ron's book bag lightly with his bare feet, "I know what you and Hermione must think of me now..."

Ron shook his head, "It dosent change how we feel about you," he said reaching for a tissue on his nightstand, "Harry I'm the one that could seriously care less...I think I'm still in a wee bit of shock after seeing Fred and George naked, and all over eachother," he blew his nose, "I always was suspicious of them, but I never knew..."

Harry nodded, "I know, it was surprising to me too. But I always knew they were rather close." It was true, ever since his first year, Harry had never met siblings who were as close as they were. He never really thought anything of it at the time, after all they were brothers. But the relationship between them, was quite different from the one they had with Ron.

"There's something else I have to tell you Ron," he said, fiddling with one of the holes on Ron's blanket, "There's someone else I've been...seeing, if you know what I mean," Harry looked up from the blanket, "Ron? Ron are you listening?"

Ron wasnt listening, he was fast asleep, the dirty tissue clenched in his fist. Harry gave a sigh of relief, "Guess it's not the right time then..."

Harry crawled back into his own bed and curled underneath the covers. He closed his eyes, and before he knew it he was asleep. Spinning into a dark and endless dream world.

The next day, Harry woke up to an empty dormitory. Figuring they had all gone down to break fast, Harry quickly got dressed and hurried downstairs to the Great Hall.

Before he could enter the Great Hall, he felt a hand on his shoulder, and he was suddenly being yanked into a broom closet. "What the hell-" he started to say, but a hand covered his mouth.

"Quiet Potter!" said a voice, "We're not supposed to be in here." "It's dark! I cant see anything." said Harry, his hands reaching inside his robes for his wand.

"God Potter..." hissed the voice, "Always have to have everything your way dont you"
"Malfoy?" said Harry, desperately trying to search for a face in the darkness, "Is that you?"

"Who else?" said the voice coolly, "Dont even think your going to get light in here, cause your not."

"What is it you want Malfoy?" said Harry, quite exasperated, "I'm really quite hungry"
"Just hold it," hissed Draco, "Why have you been avoiding me?"

"I havent seen you enough to avoid you," snapped Harry, his hands fumbling for the door knob, "Now let me go..."

Draco gripped the front of Harry's robes and pulled him in, "I know you were in that room Harry. I know you were listening to me and Snape speaking."

Harry froze, "I-I-I d-dont know what your talking about." "Dont lie to me Potter!" he screamed, his grip tightening on the fabric, "How much did you hear?"

Harry winced, afraid that Draco might hit him. But wait a second, why should he be the one afraid? Draco hadnt told him about the affair with Snape! Harry thought to himself, 'I should be the onewho'sangry!'

"Well why didnt you tell me?" said Harry through clenched teeth, "Your cheating on me"
Draco shook Harry violently, so much so, Harry thought his neck would snap if Draco's grip had been a bit tighter, "I'm cheating on you?" said Draco, his voice cracking, "I'm CHEATING ON YOU!" now he was screaming, and Harry had a strange feeling of fear rush through him.

"YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA OF WHAT I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH HAVE YOU? NONE!" Draco slammed Harry up against the wall with such force, that whatever was sitting on the shelves in the broom closet came tumbling to the floor with a loud CLANG!

Harry could feel his bones crunching underneath Draco's weight against him, "No one's ever forced you Potter have they?" said Draco, a hint of malevolence in his voice, "Now you'll know what it's like..."

All of a sudden, Harry was facing the wall, his body pressed up against the cold stone. "Draco..." he whispered, "Dont do this...you don't know what your doing..." He could hear Draco sobbing behind him, "Harry you have to learn your lesson..."

Draco ripped the heavy robes right off of Harry's body, tossing them to the floor, "Be silent Potter," he whispered in Harry's ear, "Just be silent and still..."

Harry felt his pants fall too his ankles. He winced as he felt the other boy forcefully thrust into him, "Stop it..." sobbed Harry, "Dont do this..." Tears fell from his eyes as he felt Draco thrust into him even harder, "Shut your mouth Potter," he hissed, thrusting into Harry again.

Harry bit his lip, his whole body searing with pain. He couldnt scream. All he could do right now was cry, and pray it would be over just as soon as it had started. With one final thrust, Draco came and pulled out of Harry.

"Don't fool yourself that this was rape," said Draco zipping up his pants, "That would flatter us both." He then floated out of the broom closet, leaving Harry alone in the dark.

Harry collapsed to the floor, curling up into a ball, loud sobs escaping his lips. He couldnt believe the pain he was in, he couldnt believe what had just happened. Trying to push himself up off of the floor, waves of pain rushed throughout his body and he lost his balance, hitting his head rather hard on a metal bucket.

Harry didnt know if he had blacked out or if the room was still dark. His touched the spot where he had hit the bucket, and felt something wet. I'm bleeding...he thought, I'm bleeding and I'm all alone...

His head felt as though it were about to cave in, and he closed his eyes, drifting off into unconciousness.
