Chapter 12:

Invisible Scar

Harry sat on the chair next to her bed. He cracked his knuckles nervously, biting his lip. Zeta hoped this wasn't a bad sign.

"How are you?" He asked uneasily, as if he had something to say, but couldn't.

"Ok I guess, I mean the best I can-"

"Did you..." Harry began, his intense green eyes staring into hers. "Zeta please tell me you didn't. Don't tell me you met with Draco... please tell me the rumors are only rumors..." He looked at her, his eyes pleading, as Zeta looked down.

"No..." Harry whispered, "Not with Malfoy, not with that sick, disgusting pig!" He stood up, knocking his chair to the floor loudly. It echoes through the silence. Zeta looked back at Harry, seeing the anger in his eyes.

"I didn't mean to Harry, it just happened-" She shouted, trying to calm him down.

"It was a mistake you lost your virginity to him? It was a mistake you snogged with him a week ago, it was all one big mistake Zeta? IS THAT IT?" He screamed, tears running down his face.

"I didn't mean for it to go this way!" She yelled, trying to hold back her own tears.

"You couldn't control yourself, you slut!?" Harry slapped her, "I LOVED YOU! I knew I should have never. That was the only mistake..." He looked at her, and she could see the pain in his eyes, the hatred, and the fear. He turned sharply on his heels, and left.

"HARRY!" Zeta screamed out through her tears once he reached the door. He turned, and walked back.

"This is it Zeta. This is what happened in Divination, this is what Ron has been telling me since day one. He told me never to love you, for when you were sorted, he knew there was a reason. And I was too blind, like the idiot I am, I didn't see the whore you truly were." He turned around and then turned back, "I loved you..." He left. He left leaving Zeta crying on the hospital bed alone, once again out in the ocean, at the surface, terribly alone.

-

This had to be it, this had to be the end. There was no way Zeta could go on. Harry had given her up, just because she has no self-control. He had thrown her away, as if she was nothing, not important, she had done it all for nothing. It was all because of Draco. He was nothing.

Zeta woke up, and noticed it was dark. She must have fallen asleep, and slept through the day. She sat up and once again yelled out in pain.

"Ow!" She screamed and opened her eyes. Zeta looked at the end of her bed, seeing a blurry outline of a person at the end. Widening her eyes she quickly tried scrambling backwards to get away, but found it was useless. It only doubled her pain.

"Arwin..." The drawling voice said from the end of the bed, playing with his wand. He emitted a light at the top. "Long time." He smiled.

Zeta said nothing, her mind racing, why was he here? What was he doing? Was he here to finish her off completley?

"Arwin, I thought I'd come see you." He told her coldly.

"Just leave me alone Malfoy, I truly don't want to talk to you." Zeta finally snapped catching herself.

"Arwin," Draco told her, "I have no time to argue with you, and play these little games."

"Well, Draco." Zeta hissed angrily, trying not to wake Madaam Pomfrey up and trying not to think of Harry and everything he had said, "Whatever you need to tell me, I don't truly care you sick perverted-"

"Arwin, just listen," Draco snapped and Zeta stayed quiet, "I have a proposition."

"A proposition Draco?!" Zeta shouted, but he covered her mouth.

"Do you want the both of us in trouble?" He asked breathing quickly. Zeta couldn't stop her emotions from going crazy. Even thought she wanted to hit him, his whole being annoyed her, but at the same time he was so wonderful. It had been such a rush, kissing his, as he kissed her back, it had felt like true love. Zeta metally hit herself as she felt the side of her face sting from where Harry had hit her.

"You passed part one of the test..." He told her slyly, taking his hand off her mouth.

"Test?" She asked.

"Yes," He lied smoothly, "Deatheaters Test, and now all you need to do is come with me."

"Draco," she yelled quickly, "Whoever said I wanted to be a Deatheater?!"

"You slept with one." He whispered.

"WHAT? THAT WAS A TEST?" Zeta yelled and he once again covered her mouth.

"Shut it Arwin." He hissed, "This is no time for you to give this attitude. Do you think I wanted to leave the forest? No Arwin, I didn't. I wanted to stay! But I had to leave." He took his hand off, and sullenly looked at them in his lap. Zeta stared in disbelief.

"Liar." She finally croaked, but knowing that her own sentence was the lie.

"Arwin, this is what I am." He raised the sleeve of his left arm revealing a glowing mark. The Dark Mark. "I want you to be a part of that with me."

Zeta stayed quiet, still staring.

"Just let me know." He handed her a piece of paper, and stood up to leave. Thinking for a second, he turned and looked at her. For the first time, he had longing in his eyes, and a pleading that was true. He leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. Pulling back he stared into her eyes, his pale gray ones showing his true emotion, his desire. He kissed her again, as Zeta kissed back, passionately, wanting it to last forever. Draco finally pulled back, and looked down. He smiled at Zeta biting his lip and left. She watched him leave, unable to think straight.
