Chapter seven: The Secrets Reveiled

Alex: i told you. she likes some boy who apparently doesn't like her back. that really is ALL i know. she told me that he could never like her, and that she was told he didn't like her, and other things that she wont tell me.

Draco: well who was it

Alex: like i know.

Tyler: i know you Alex and you know who it is please for Paige i know she told you not to tell but look at the state she is in

Draco: ALEX

Alex looked away, betray her friends secret could go two ways. 1. Paige could never forgive her or 2. Paige would get better and she and Ty would be happy

Luke: for love of god its you Tyler. She likes you, and apparently "Blaize" said things about you that she believed

Tyler look speechless Alex looked at Luke horror stricken. At least she wasn't the one to blab

Draco, Blaize: WHAT

Luke: THAT, is all we know

Draco: i Blaize

Blaize: ...

Blaize look like he was going to faint

Luke: well, now you know as much as we do

Tyler looked at every one and then left and didn't look back

Most everyone followed his lead and left, except for Draco, Blaize, Pansy, Alex, and Luke. no one else wanted detention, and Snape wouldn't give the three Slytherins detention anyways

Draco: why aren't you 2 leaving i know you don't want detention

Alex: cause we're standing here talking to you. and at this point, i could care less.

Blaize: i cant be leave this

Pansy looks at him concerned

Alex: they're both our best friends. so, we're a little shocked now too. if only we could find out what was said to her.

Draco: Blaize are you ok

Blaize: no my brothers the reason for her being in the hospital

Draco hears Snape coming around the corridor

Alex: i don't think its necessarily HIS fault as it is HERS

Draco pushes Alex and Luke around a corner

Draco: shhh be quiet

he comes out just as Snape comes around

Snape: I thought i said everyone who was left would be receiving detention. But ahh, my three favorite students. Why are you still here?

Draco: she's my sister

Blaize: support

Pansy: and we're here supporting Draco.

Draco: mother and father of all of us are coming to morrow

Snape: i am quite aware of this Mr. Malfoy Mr. Zabini, Mrs. Parkinson, Go on to the dungeons. Draco and i will be down shortly

Blaize did not move so pansy grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dungeons

Draco: i will be down shortly

Snape: So Draco, what do you know about your sister? you must know something.

Draco: we know someone used polyjuice potion to mess with Paige and that its about Tyler

Snape: what's about Tyler?

Draco: she likes Tyler

Snape: so your sister likes Tyler? what's that got to do with her mood swing?

Draco: that's why she is in the mood swing the person who used the polyjuice potion made a lie about him that's making her sad

Snape: ahh, i see. well, lets go in here and have a little chat with your dear sister

Draco: yay lets go

Paige was just sitting on her bed leaning on her pillows

When Alex and Luke were sure that Snape and Draco were safe in the hospital wing they snuck downstairs and made a run for the Hufflepuff common room

Madame Pomfrey: oh good, you're here. i think you missed the group of screaming teens.

Snape: i caught the last three before i came in. no worries, they're all in bed now. Ahh, Mrs. Malfoy, how are we doing?

Paige: I'm fine

Snape: you don't look like it. You look like a mess

Paige: i said I'm fine

she looked down

Snape: well alright then. Madame Pomfrey, what's her deal

Madame Pomfrey: she hasn't eaten in several days, she's weak and worn out from fatigue, that's why she fainted earlier, She's screaming and yelling at her friends all the time, she needs to rest for a while, and eat

Paige: i am fine

Draco: Paige we know its about Tyler

Paige's eyes widened

Madame Pomfrey: you're not in this Mrs. Malfoy.

Paige: I CANT BELEIVE ALEX TOLD YOU SHE LIED TO ME

she grabbed her head again

Madame Pomfrey: see what i mean Severus

Draco: Luke told us

Paige: THEY BOTH ARE GOING TO GET THERE ARESES KICKED

her head was starting to hurt worse

Draco: Paige stop we are only trying to help you

Paige: HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY I'M FINEEEEEEEEE

her fine was in a scream she was breathing heavy now Madame Pomfrey cast a spell and put her to sleep out of her pain Draco went over to her side and sat down and held her hand

MP: i don't know what's gotten into the girl

Snape: I haven't seen her yell at anyone like that before. I know Narssisa and Lucius did a better job than this

Madame Pomfrey: She's not fine, no matter what she says

Snape: i know. Come Draco, lets head down to my office to have a little chat. Madame Pomfrey you can just fill me in on what's wrong with her when you tell her parents tomorrow

Draco: yes sir

They headed down the hallway, down the staircases in silence. When they reached the office, Snape pointed to the chair

Snape: sit

Draco did as instructed

Snape: now, i want to know the whole story. start with what happened on the train. where were you, and where was she?

Draco: i was with Crab and Goil on the Slytherin side and Paige went over to the Gryffindor side and was with Tyler, Alex, Luke and potter and them i didn't know about this till we got to dinner and then you know the rest

Snape: i understand she's friends with the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff lots? i need t know anything and everything boy. not just about her, but about the younger Mr. Zabini as well, since she seems to fancy him

Draco looked down at the thought of her and Tyler together it just made him weird they had been friends for so long but they did look good together

Draco: you should talk to Blaize not me he knows more about his brother then i do

Snape: i guess I'll also have to sit down with the Hufflepuff pair to find out more too. well, aside from your sister, how are you planning on fulfilling the dark lords wishes? you know he'll need a way in before the end of the school year. the sooner the better

Draco: i hadn't thought about it much with Paige and all i...i really ...don't want to i don't have a choice do i

Snape: no. unless you want to be slaughtered by him. I'll make an offer. if you tell me what you're up to, I'll do my best to help you

Draco: i cant or ...

Snape: or what Draco?

Draco: OR HES GOING TO KILL MUM
