Today was a Saturday.

Grabbed my homework, and headed to the library. On the way i kept dodging Harry and his friends. I really didn't want to talk about what he could've seen during D.A.D.A.

To my refile I made it to the library without being caught. I sat at in the chair in the back corner. After a few hours I was done with my homework. I packed up my stuff and headed down to dinner. On the way I saw Harry talking to his red headed friend. I looked down making my bangs fall in to my face, hoping he wouldn't notice. But luck wasn't on my side as usual.

Harry stopped talking and stuck out his foot, tripping me. Luckily, I landed on my hands and knees. I got back to my feet and started to walk away before Harry started to talk.

"Got somewhere to be, Radcliffe." Harry asked in a dejecting tone.

"Why do you care? Besides, aren't you suppose to be out doing something stupid and dangerous that will get you killed?"

"Aren't girls suppose to be pretty?" That hurt.

"Whatever." I said holding back the tears that threatened to fall. "Shouldn't there be three of you? Where's your other friend, the Mu-"

"CRUCIO!"

Unbearable pain exploded within me as I fell to the floor. I only hear myself hit the floor as the pain from the fall was consumed from the pain of the curse. The pain felt like a strong fire was slowly killing me from the inside out.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" I heard a familiar voice shout.

Then I felt a pair of arms surround me. When I looked up, my teary eyes connected to the concerned ones of Draco. That was my breaking point.
Without thinking, I wrapped my arms around Draco's neck and started to cry into his shoulder. I didn't care if I looked weak or vulnerable because at that moment I was.

Before my parents were killed they used to abuse me every day. After they used the Cruciatus Curse, I would go ext door to Draco and cry into his shoulder as a kid. Draco was the only person who has seen me like this, scared, broken, vulnerable, and worse. Draco started to pull away from me which only made me hold on tighter. He then got loose enough to look at me as if to see if I was acting or not.

He glared at me as he evaluated me, which made a fresh patch of tears fighting to get free. A few emotions went across his face. First confusion, then realization, then it finally landed on sympathy. Draco pulled me into a strong hug, allowing me to cry into his chest.

"Get out of my sight, Potter. I'll deal with you later." I heard Draco say.

"Fine but she deserved what she got." Harry said in a venom coated tone making me recoil into Draco.

"Why is that, Potter. What could she, the nicest Slytherin in history, could've done to you."

"She called Hermione a 'Mudblood'."

"That's a lie!" I shouted. "I would never use that word! I hate that word! I was going to say 'Muggleborn' not the other 'M' word." I resumed my crying into Draco's chest as he rubbed comforting circles on my back.

"How can I believe you. For all I know you would kill a muggle if one looked you in the eye." Harry said.

"She wouldn't because her grandparents where muggleborns and she loved them dearly. Though her parents mentally scared and abused her and her brother." Why Draco. Every time you get him made, he spill deep dark secrets. "So if I were you, I would shut up and get the hell out of my sight now, Potter, before I hex you into next week."

That got them walking. Harry and Ron left in a quick step. Draco and I stayed like that for a while. Him with his arms wrapped tightly around me as a cried into hos chest. Draco didn't say anything, he just held me. How could he? He couldn't say it'll be alright.

Once I was cried out, I got up pulling Draco with me. I gave him a thankful look before pulling him into a hug. When we broke away, Draco gave me a curious look. I just gave him a nod. I didn't need to say where I was going. He already knew.I turned and walked out side to the Blake Lake. I finally got to my favorite spot. I sat down under a tree, pulled my knees close to my chest, and started to cry burying my face in my knees. After awhile I felt strong arms wrap around me in a comforting embrace. I didn't need to look up to see who it was.
