Fitting In or Standing Out
A/N okay so I only just updated like less than an hour ago but so, you guys deserve this since I've avoided writing for ages.
Enjoy
The water became a beige cloudy effect which blocked Draco's vision for only a split second till it faded and then he saw why she was so panicked.
The cloud had faded and all that was left was Draco Malfoy and a girl who had no life in her, she was bruised, cut and battered. In a split second decision Leo dashed out of the pool realising she had given everyone a great view of the battered, bruised and cut body that she was ashamed to call her own.
The 3 boys above the water were expecting some sort of sexy make out session that you would read in a book or hear the girls at school fantasise about but they were wrong none of them expected a girl looking so small wearing scars and bruises to run out of the pool with tears streaming down her face and then to see Draco Malfoy- Mr No Emotions- to come above the water with a facial expression that had every sad and negative emotion possible. They all exchanged looks and got out the pool running after Leo.
Arriving at her door the boys all still soaking wet realised she had put up wards to stop them from entering so they started pounding at her door begging for access but with no joy. They sat there for the good part of 3 hours hoping she would need to come out of her room for something, they had all transfigured they swimming trunks into clothing, so Blaise was wearing light grey sweat pants and a blue t-shirt, Theo was wearing grey jeans and a yellow hoodie, Adrian was wearing black trackies and a silver t-shirt and Draco was wearing skinny jeans, a white t-shirt with a red black and blue checked shirt over the top and he was wearing his glasses.
Lucky for them they heard the door unlock and then saw a very tired looking Leo with red blotchy cheeks; she was wearing pyjama shorts and a baggy Gryffindor Quidditch jersey. All the boys gave her a sympathetic look she stepped aside from her door giving them access to her room they quickly entered her room scared she's change her mind and made themselves comfy on her king sized bed.
She took a deep breath and turned to Theo and Adrian. "Do either of you know Hermione Granger" she asked weakly, both boys nodded very confused but Blaise and Draco knew where this was going so she continued " well I am her well I was anyway that's why Blaise was out this morning and that's why neither of you had seen me before." Theo and Adrian looked at each other as if they were trying to find a loop hole but the look faded and they turned to Blaise, Theo spoke up first " were you ever gonna tell us?" Blaise nodded, then Adrian turned to Draco and said "you knew as well that's why you were out this morning you went with him didn't you?" Draco replied "yes we were going to tell you and yes that's where I was this morning not like it was any of your dam business but this doesn't explain why Leo here ran out of the pool area in tears or why the fuck she's covered in scars and bruised like she's been abused most of her l...i..f.e…." Draco's sentence faded away as he realised what had happened, everything played in his mind like a puzzle fitting into the correct place. 'She used to be so bubbly always answering question but then her and that ginger weasel started dating and that's when it stopped she wouldn't ask question and she would stay quiet and at the back of the class that also explained why he heard crying one night while patrolling as a prefect in his 6th year.' Draco came out of his thought paler that usual and looked at Leo with pain filled eyes and as if she knew what he was thinking she nodded and with that he stormed out of the room. Leo nodded to the boys as if to tell them to follow him and not to worry about her.
So they did they raced out of the room after Draco. When they found him he was violently punching the wall of the room he shared with Blaise when he stayed during the summer. The boys watched him for a minute till Blaise broke the pregnant silence. "Mate what the fuck is going on you black out for one minute look at my sister as if she just told you all her problems then you storm off and take your anger out on my wall." Draco turned to his best mate, took a deep breath and told them what he had realised and what she had confirmed. "He's abusing her, THAT FUCKING WEASEL IS ABOUSING HER haven't you noticed how she's been distant in class and isn't her cocky know-it-all self well wasn't anyway?" he said well shouted most of but still. Blaise registered what his friend had said and then his face went from confused to pure anger as he stormed back through to his sister's room.
He barged through the door to find his own sister lying on her bed doing something he wished he'd never have to see ever again.
