Dark Secrets

By- Jaiden

Chapter Ten

Reading through the letter one last time , she took a deep breath and stood up, her knees shaking. Walking over to Draco's door she pinned the note to it. Turning around she closed her eyes, taking another deep breath, she opened her eyes and crossed the common room, opening her door she entered her room.

Sitting on her bed, tears poured down her cheeks. Her hands still shaking as she retrieved her wand from her pocket.

Jaiden looked at her left hand, then turning her hand so her wrist as facing up. She took her wand and touched her flesh.

Meanwhile… Draco entered the common room, finding it empty, looking around he wandered where she went. Shaking his head he went over the couch and took a seat. He dared into the fire with a troubled expression, looking up once again, Draco gazed around, and landed on the note on his door.

Getting up he quickly walked over and grabbed the note and read it quickly, his expression getting more and more troubled. Walking over to the fire he crumpled it up and threw it in the fire and going over to her room and knocked on the door.

Jaiden ignored the knock, her hand shaking uncontrollably again.

Draco knocked again.

She ignored it, then out off nowhere Draco opened the door and starred in horror at what he saw before him…

" Jaiden, no what are you doing! " he cried.

" I have to I can't handle this anymore, " She told him.

" No you don't, "

" Yes I do! " She cried out and drug her wand across cutting her wrist deep, the blood started to flow, she just watched it flow as she dropped her wand to the bed. The pain felt so good.

" Jade… NO! "He cried dashing to her side and grabbed her wrist.

Pulling his shirt off he pressed it against the cut, trying to stop the bleeding.

" No don't let me die, get away! "

" I can't do that, " He told her then asked, " What do you thin you were doing? "

" I just don't care anymore, " She said ignoring his question.

" Yes, you do this isn't the answer, " He told her frantically.

" No I don't, everything is so messed up, "

" Why? Please jade tell me, " She said then checked the cut to see if it had stopped bleeding… It had.

" I c-can't t-this is the only t-to es-escape him, " She sobbed looking at her wrist.

" No, no it's not, tell me whose hurting her, " Draco pleaded at her.

" No, no, no, " She said her voice getting louder.

" Where's hurting you? Who are you afraid of? " He asked

" NO! " She cried standing up, " You don't understand, "

" Then make me understand, tell me who your afraid of, " He told her, his voice also rising.

" Shut up! Get out, get out! "

" No I won't not until you tell me, "

" You wanna know huh? You wanna know? "

" Yes! I do, "

" It's Ron, " She cried out.

" Wha—? " He said confused.

" HE RAPED ME! " She screamed at him, " THAT BASTARD RAPED ME! HE BETRAYED ME! HE BEAT ME! "

Draco was speechless, then he asked, " Is that who gave you all those cuts and bruises, "

" Yes, " she told him nodding, collapsing on her bed.

" Why didn't you tell me sooner? " He asked also sitting on the bed net to her and gathered her in his arms.

" Because I couldn't, he would have killed me, he probably will anyway now, "

" He won't, " Draco assured her.

" You can't protect me, Ron's too powerful, " Jaiden explained.

" How can that be? He's just a whimp, "

" No he's not, he's much more, " She said, " He's been working for Voldemort, "

" What? " He asked confused now, " Since when? "

" I don't know, " She answered, " But it's serious, "

" How did you find out, "

" Voldemort was here a few weeks ago, "

" Whoa, whoa what? " Draco said.

" Yeah… he killed Dean Thomas right in from of my eyes, it scared me so much, " she shook her head.

" Wait, was that the night you came in, scared out of your wits? "

" Yeah… it was, " She told him.

" I am so sorry, " He hugged her.

" It's not your fault, " Jaiden said.

" Yes it is, I should have found out sooner and protected you, " He told her burying his face in her neck.

" I couldn't tell you, he would've killed you and I don't want that, " She told him with a sigh.

" That won't happen, now that I know what I'm against I'll be prepared, "

" It won't be enough, you don't know what he's capable of, "

" Shh lets not talk about this anymore, " Draco told her softly.

" B-but… " She started.

" Shh, " He silenced her with a kiss.

Jaiden kissed him back, she felt his hand reached around and place it on the back of her head, bringing her closer and kissing her even deeper. Jaiden pulled away and looked at him…

" We can't do this, " Jaiden said fearfully, " Ron will find out, "

" Don't think about him, what h don't know won't hurt him, " Draco told her softly kissing her again.

Jaiden nodded and kissed him again, putting her arms around him, her hands caressed his back. Draco gently pushed her backwards onto the bed keeping his weight on her.

Draco bean to take her shirt off slowly, this began a night of not, steamy, intoxicating passion.

The next morning dawned better than ever. Draco woke first and looked at the beautiful person next to him, leaning on his elbow, he caressed her back with the back of his fingers.

Jaiden twitched, but continued to sleep on. Smiling he lightly placed kisses on her back, making her twitch again, this time she stretched and opened one eye.

" Good morning sunshine, " He told her.

" Good morning yourself, " She greeted as she turned onto her back, " What's today? "

" Friday why? "

" What! We gotta go to class, "

" Relax, we'll get McGonagall to excuse us, "

" Are you sure she'll do that? "

" Of course she will after what went on the last couple days, and with Harry in the hospital sure she will, " He answered.

" But… What about you? " She asked.

" Moral support, " He said simply.

" Oh, "

" So… What do you wan to do today? "

" I dunno probably go see Harry, " Jaiden said sitting up and pulled the sheets up around her chest.

" Sounds good to me, " He said as leaned up and kissed her lightly on the lips.

" Ok, " She said throwing the covers off and bent over the side of the bed and began to get dressed.

" You know… " He said looking at her, " You look better with cloths on, "

Jaiden raised an eyebrow at him, pulling on a clean pair of pants.

" What? It's true, "

" Ya, ya whatever, " She rolled her eyes at him.

" All I'm doing is stating the obvious, " He said, as he too got up and began to get dressed.

" She looked over at him, " You know you not too bad yourself, " She told him with a wink.

" Why thank you, "

" You're welcome, " She said with a giggle as she pulled on a shirt.

It was Draco's turn to roll his eyes. After both were dressed they walked into McGonagall's office, to their surprise she was sitting behind her desk.

" Umm Professor? "

McGonagall looked up," Mr. Malfoy, Miss. Spencer, what are you two doing out of class? "

" That's what we were going to talk to you about, " Draco said.

" You'd better have a good excuse for missing class, "

" Well you see it's about Harry, " Jaiden spoke up.

" Ah yes… yes of course, I understand, it's quiet alright, "

" We was hoping you'd excuse us for the day, "

" Of course, of course I will, I can only imagine what you went through seeing him like that, "

" T-thank you so much… "

" Your quiet welcome, if you want you may go up and see him, "

" That's what, we were planning on, " Draco said.

McGonagall nodded and went back to grading. Turning she and Draco exited the office and headed up to the Hospital Wing.

Entering the room, they went straight to Harry's bed, which was outline in the big curtains. Making their way around them, they once again saw him laying there not moving.

" Oh Harry, I'm so sorry, " Jaiden said softly, taking Harry's lifeless hand in hers.

" You know who done this don't you? " Draco asked suddenly.

" Yes I do, " She answered him quietly, " It was the same person who did all those injuries to me, "

" It was Ron huh? "

" Yeah, " She whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.

" Shh settle down, " Draco soothed placing his hands on her shoulders.

" It's all my fault, " She sobbed out.

" No, no, it's not, he's just sick and twisted, "

" I'm gonna kill him with my bare hands, "

" Don't do that, "

" But he deserves it, "

" I know, but if you do you'll be no better than he is, "

" I just can't stand this anymore, "

" There's nothing you can do now, come on it's almost lunch, " Draco steered her gently away form the bed and down to the Great Hall.

Just before they entered, he kissed her and made her go in first.

Jaiden entered the Great Hall slowly and went to the Gryffindor table, taking her seat she gazed along the table not many looked happy, she guessed it was because of Harry.

" Ginny I am so sorry, " Jaiden apologized turning to face the downcast red-headed girl.

" It's not your fault, I just wish I knew who done it, "

At this point Jaiden looked away unable to look Ginny in the eye. How cold she tell her that her own… her own brother had done that to Harry.

" Jade, are you alright? " Ginny asked concerned.

" Yes, yes I'm fine… I'm just not that hungry anymore, see you at dinner, "

" Oh alright, "

She got up and headed out of the hall and into the library to the back table, she grabbed a book from the shelf and began to read.

" Where have you been? " A low voice asked.

She looked up and felt her blood run cold. Ron Walked forward… He looked bigger than she remembered.

" I-I was sleeping, "

" All morning? "Ron accused.

" Yes, McGonagall excused us, "

" Us? "

" Yes, m-me and Draco— "

" Oh so it's Draco now? " Ron said still advancing, " Since when have you started to call him Draco? "

" Um-m I-I— " Jaiden stuttered.

" Well I'm waiting, "

" I-I— "

" What to good to be with me now? "

" N-no, " She told him in a small voice.

" Liar, " he shouted, grabbing her by the shirt and slammed her against the bookshelf.

" N-no, I-I S-swea— "

" Be quiet! " He said still raising his voice, making her close her mouth, " That's better, "

Ron leaned in making his lips, brush against her ear, moving his head, he ran his lips and nose down her neck to her shoulder then back up, his breath hot back by her ear.

" You slept with him didn't you? "

" I-I— " she stuttered.

" Don't… Speak… Don't… Move… " He whispered in her ear his voice in a low dangerous tone.

" B-but I-I, " She tried to say, but his hands went from her shirt to her throat.

" Don't… Speak… Don't… Move… " He repeated in the same tone, receiving a nod in answer, " Good girl, "

" Now you've done a very bad thing, cheating on me like that, tsk, tsk, tsk, " He shook his head disappointedly, " You shouldn't have done that, "

Jaiden glared at him.

" Don't look at me like that, " Ron told her, " Now, now don't worry, I'll take care of dear Draco don't you worry now, "

Jaiden shook her head violently trying to get out of his grasp, but he squoze her throat tighter making her fall still.

" Then you shouldn't have done that! " He yelled taking his hand away from her neck and hitting her so hard across the face that he made her crash sideways and slid to the floor with a thud.

" Please… Don't hurt Draco, " She pleaded with him.

" Then you shouldn't of slept with him, " He told her, and with that he turned and walked out of the library leaving her shaking on the floor.
