Friday came sooner than they thought
Only a day till the Quidditch match and everyone was bubbling with excitement. It was Slytherin against Gryffindor and from what everyone says, it is the most exiting and biggest game. Ava could see slytherin getting ready for the game, and they kept giving Gryffindor dirty looks, even Ava got a few from Pansy Parkinson. Ava was starting to get exited for the game and when it finally came, she brought flags and wore their house colours, she walked to the stadium with her friends
Seamus, Ben, Dean Neville, Tyler and Ron were off with some of their guy friends. When the reached the stadium Stacey, Mary,and Evelyn wished them luck and told them that they hoped that they kicked Slytherins butt then they parted to go to their own houses. Ava quietly wished Harry luck, and sat with her friends.
The game was very rough, there was pushing and shoving and even hitting. A couple of players on the Gryffindor team were knocked out and carried out of the game. Ava was bouncing in her seat silently praying Gryffindor would win.
She watched Harry get shoved by the Slytherin seeker, Harry was thrown off course. Ava could hear booing behind her and she already knew who it was before she turned around. Seamus was standing at the top of the stadium openly booing. His friends were laughing at him and some even joined in. Ava laughed and turned around. It was a little chilly, There was already a snow on the ground. She wrapped her jacket around her tighter and continued on cheering and watching the game, Slytherin was ahead of Gryffindor by 50 points. Ava was starting to lose hope when all of a sudden.
Harry caught it suddenly which supprised everyone. It was quiet until Ava stood up laughing and cheering. They had won! Everyone followed her clapping. Soon the cheering turned into a great roar of shouting and cheering from all the houses except from Slytherin. When they made their way back to the common room they were, stopped by Raveclaws and Hufflepuffs and were congratulated. When Harry emerged everyone congragulated him and they put him on their shoulders. Later Donna had to go do some homework in the library with Ben. She reminded Ava to meet her in the fifth floor bathroom in her bathing robes around
6: 30 Ava nodded and smiled, Every now and then, Ava and Donna went to the baths where they would relax and talk . It helped her do well in school and helped her relax.
She was happy that Donna and Ben were becoming a little closer, she thought that they made a cute couple. Ava headed off to the common room to finish her Friday night homework and to join a little bit in the Gryffindor house party. She had a blast and at 6: 10 she remember that she had to meet Donna in 20 minutes. She raced upstaries to her dorm and took off all her clothes and but on her bathing robe. She grabbed her pajamas and slippers and clutched them to her. She slowly walked down stairs hoping no one would notice her. Luckily no one did and she was free. She ran up the stairs and threw hallways.
All of a sudden she was grabbed and pulled into a corner. She was about to scream until a hand covered her mouth. She looked up and saw that it was Draco. She tried to struggle and scream but his grip on her was too strong. " Don't say a word" he hissed, " or you will get it", she wondered why she had to be quiet, and then she heard some voices coming alone the hallway.
There, walking their way was Seamus and some other boy. Ava saw him at the party before so he must have been sneaking down to the kitchen to get some more food. Ava wanted to scream at him to help her, he was so close, but she knew that he would never see her, they were in a dark corner and they would never be noticed to just a person walking struggled even more,
but Draco wouldn't let her move, Seamus continued on laughing and walking and he turned a corner and disappeared, she was too late, unless she could just scream his name, but Malfoy kept his hands on her mouth until the distant voices were now gone.
He smirked at her and looked at her robe. " well where are you off to in such a rush?" he looked her up and down again. " well what a treat this is for me" he smirked again and put his hand on her robe, he slid his hand a little down, which made Ava feel far more than uncomfortable. She struggled very hard that even he had a hard time controlling her. She bit his hand and he cried out, Face red with anger he slapped her, hard. Her head hit against the wall and she felt dizzy. She couldn't move, but she had to get away from him.
He raised his hand as if to slap her again. But she kicked him hard, and ran away as fast as she could. She was scared that he would chase her, so she kept running until she found the baths, she walked in shaking and found Donna, she already started the bath and there were bubbles everywhere, she smiled when she saw Ava and then frowned when she saw the scared look on her face, she also saw the bruise forming on her cheek, she ran over to ask what happened but Ava refused to tell anything until they got into the tub. Ava turned around when Donna took off her robe and hopped in the tub.
Then Donna closed her eyes when Ava took off her robe to jump in the tub. Bubbles surrounded them and the water was pleasantly warm. She cursed at Malfoy for ruining her relaxing moment. The bath was huge, it was very true that it did look like a mini pool and it was deeper than a regular tub, but she could still sit in the water with her head above the water.
Donna swam over to her, " Ava what happened?", Ava couldn't control it anymore, she burst into tears, her hands covering her face. Donna wrapped her arms around Ava. Ava spilled out everything about what was happening with Draco, and how bad it was getting. He had touched Ava in places that made her feel very uncomfortable and she cried even harder about this.
" I don't think I can stand this anymore" she cried out
Donna hugged her " what a prat! Just when you think he won't go any further, he surprises us with those bold moves of his"
Donna softly touched her cheek " people will see this and wonder you know" Ava nodded " just tell them that I bumped into a wall"
" Does it hurt?" she asked, Ava shrugged " a little but I think I will live"
" Did he slap you?" Ava nodded " yeah he was trying to open my robe, that dirty pig" Donna looked disgusted, " you know you should tell some of the our friends, they could protect you, you know"
Ava snorted " who would believe me?" Donna looked serious " I know Seamus would, and Ben, actually they all would"
when she said Seamus's name it reminded her of how Seamus could of helped her, all she had to do was make some kind of noise and he would be there to beat up Malfoy. Ava looked at Donna and smiled " I am just happy that I told you, know lets not worry about Malfoy and lets have a good time" Donna smiled and nodded, but still looked pretty angry, she sank more under the water
" We haven't relaxed like this in ages" she murmured softly. Ava had to agree with her, the water made her forget about all her bad thought. Then she looked up and splashed Donna, Donna screamed and then laughed, they had a little splashing war, until they got tired. Then they just sat there and talked like best friends would talk. Overall, it was a pretty good time. Very soon there was very little bubbles left, and Ava and Donna decided to get out, they dried themselves with their towels and put on their pajamas and socks and slippers. Then they headed back to the common room.
When they got there, sitting by the fireplace, was Harry, Ron, Hermione, Seamus , Ben and Gemma. They were all talking and laughing, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. When they heard them walk in they looked up and they all smiled, " where have you guys been?" Ben asked. Hermion looked at their wet hair and pajamas " Ahhh I know where you went, you went to the fifth floor bathroom, for the bath eh?"
Donna and Ava giggled and nodded " yeah, it was quite relaxing, we needed it after all the homework and test that the teachers were giving us" Donna said. Ava and Donna didn't notice that Gemma was looking at Ava's face. She said rather loudly " Ava are you okay? What happened to your face?" everyone turned towards Ava. " oh my god Ava, it looks badly bruised, what happened?" Hermione said. Ron grimaced at it, Harry gave her a sympathic look and Ben just stared, they all knew it looked bad and that it was probably painful. When Ava looked over at Seamus, his eyes were wide. Ava ignored him " I just bumped into a wall, no biggie" she replied calmly.
Ben, Ron and Harry laughed, " jeez Av I didn't know you could be so clumsy"
Hermione and Gemma didn't laugh because they were not immature and they knew it probably hurt. Donna of course was not laughing because she knew the whole story, and Seamus was just looking into the fire.
" Well, I better be heading off to bed, I am exaughsted" Ava said. Donna agreed and they both headed up the stairs to the common room. The both got into bed and Donna looked at her " I really hope you know what you doing Ava" she said. Ava smiled at her " Don't worry Don, I will be fine and I have you to protect me" they giggled and talk about all the ugly features about Draco until they both fell asleep dreamlessly.
In the middle of the night Ava woke up to the sound of thunder, she climbed out of bed and looked out the window, it was pouring ran. She cheered silently to herself, she loved thunderstorms. She crawled back into bed very cozily. She listened and could hear the boys next door, they were still up. She guessed that since it was a weekend they stayed up till 4 in the morning and slept till 3 pm. She snuggled into her pillow and fell asleep smiling and listening to the sound of rain on her window.
She dreamed of him again
He was on top of her, and was roughly kissing down her neck, he pinned her hands to the sides. She was getting a little scared but at the same time she liked it, he didn't seem like the rough type though. He continued with her. He kissed her stomach until he got lower and lower. Ava clung to his hair and moaned his name " Seamus" she said, and immediately the figure's head looked up, and too her horror she saw that it wasn't Seamus this time. For she was looking into the eyes of Draco Malfoy. He sneered and crawled up her. She tried to wriggle away. She struggled against him, but it was no use, he was too strong. He pinned her arms down and looked down at her. He slowly started to grind his hips into her.
She no longer felt any pleasure. She felt afraid and disgusted she tried again to get away from him and he slapped her on the face. Then he grabbed her face and made her look at him. She was dizzy, his face was just a blur. Then he sneered one more time and kissed her in a bruising kiss.
She woke up screaming. She looked around her and she realized she was alone " It was just a dream, she said to herself" She put her hands on her face and started laughing, but those laughs soon turned into tears. She didn't know how hard and how long that she cried for but it seemed like hours. When she was done, her eyes burned and they were red and puffy. She was exaughsted. " Why is he doing this too me?" She spoke softly to herself.
in the morning she woke up and instantly remembered her dream, she shuddered and was scared to see him that day. She pushed the thought out of her head and looked out the window.
It was still raining, she smiled happily to herself and put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She made her hair into its beautiful natural curly style and walked out of the common room to brush her teeth. She peeped into the boys room and they were sprawled all over the place, they looked funny and they were In deep sleep. When Ava walked back into her room Donna and Nancy were awake and just finished doing their hair. All of a sudden she a thought came up in her mind, she whispered her plan to Nancy and Donna and they laughed and agreed
The rest of the morning was spent in the common room with Ava reading a book, and Donna and Nancy playing wizard chess. Hermione wanted to go to the library to finish homework and Gemma and Elaine, went to meet up with Mary, Stacey and Evelyn. Ava, Donna and Nancy were going to meet them all after lunch.
At lunch, a loud BOOM was heard above them and some yelling was heard. Everyone in the Great Hall looked toward the ceiling and shrugged and went back eating more booms were heard along with more yells of anger mixed with shock and confusion, finally Professer Mcgonagol made her way up to the common room.
Ava, Donna and Nancy burst into laughter, a few minutes later the boys came down the stairs fuming.
" Very funny now who's idea was it" Dean said and looked at Nancy, Donna and Ava. Seamus and Ben looked impressed that they could actually pull a prank and get away with it.
" well I have to admit, Bens face was the best" Ron laughed. Ben turned red and he looked at all the laughing girls " so who's idea was it?" he asked. The girls laughed "it was Ava's idea" Nancy said between laughs. The boys looked at all of them. " Just wait" they said The girls laughed even harder, and stood up and told them that they were suppose to meet the other girls. Seamus waved his finger at them and gave them a sarcastic grin " tootle–loo girls, but remember we will get you back but twice as bad". The girls ran out from the great hall grinning.
They ran to the 7th floor where they were supposed to meet Gemma and Elaine, with Mary, Stacey and Evelyn.
When they saw them they waved and ran up to them. Mary and Stacey gasped and Evelyn stared. It took a moment for Ava to realize what they were staring at. I guess the bruise looked a little way more noticeable in the daylight. It looked even darker, it took her a while to calm Mary and Stacey and Evelyn down and tell them everything was all right and that she just hit a wall. She forgot about the bruise, she was wondering why some people were staring at her when she walked by. Ava sighed, it was getting harder to hide her problem from people.
The day hasn't even ended and she already felt drained.
