Alina had walked into the common room she was happy she made some friends or friend since malfoy didn't like her she was still in thoughts when she noticed Ron standing their with a angry look on his face " uhm hey you didn't wait up for me did you ?" she bit her bottom lip slightly unease by his angry stare " do you have any idea how upset your sister was when you did that hmm? What are you thinking talking to them let alone spend the whole night with them " he hissed at her and she shrugged a bit " its my own business who I hang out with I don't always have to hang out with you guys " she said matter of factually which only made him more angry he grabbed her by the arm and roughly janked her towards him " you wont hang out with them anymore understand I wont have you upsetting hermione like that " she frowned and tried to push him away from her she was so focused at getting out of his grab that she never saw it coming when he hit her hard in the face she fell back and softly touched the spot he had hit her he had turned around and walked up to the boys sleeping area she was left surprised and hurt she slowly got up and walked up the stairs of the girls sleeping area she looked over to where her sister was sleeping and was glad that she wasn't awake she walked to the bathroom and saw the huge red mark covering her cheek and eye it was gonna bruise badly in the morning that she was sure of she walked back to her bed and crawled in she saw it was already 4 in the morning by now and she was only gonna get 2 more hours of sleep she sighed and tried to sleep as much possible bit she ended up not sleeping at all so she went back downstairs after getting dressed again and decided to go to the library till it was time for breakfast she grabbed the first book she lay eyes on and sat down she was maybe half way through the book when she realized it was almost 7:30 am and that she was gonna miss breakfast she was quick walking through the halls with the book stuffed under her arm she walked into the great hall and glanced a look at the slytherin table she saw blaise smile brightly when he saw her but his smile almost disappeared as soon as it came he looked concerned at her it made her frown and shake her head a bit she saw blaise nudging draco and pointed at her he saw what he meant but his face stayed the same but he looked angry for just a split second she rushed to the table and sat down next to her sister who only greeted her short "I'm sorry mione okay .. I shouldn't have left like that " she only said it half hearted but hermione believed it anyways and smiled happily at her sister the strange thing was she didn't mention the black eye or even paid attention to it aline sighed and just grabbed a apple and ate it till breakfast was over she told hermione and her friends that she was going back to the library to finish her book and would catch up with them around lunch she gave her sister a kiss on the cheek then went to the library
draco watched Alina leave the great hall as soon the breakfast was over and he could feel blaise tense up next to him " mate will you just calm down we'll go after her in a minute okay " draco glared at his friend and blaise nodded thankful at him " where would she have gotten that black eye its only been 4 hours since we saw her last " draco had to admit that it did look nasty on her he got up and as soon he did blaise did to their first guess would be to look in the library and there she was sitting by the window blaise practically ran over to her draco rubbed the back of his neck as he catched up with his friend they sat down and she seemed to far in the book to notice us at all till blaise started to talk " Alina what the hell happen ?" she was startled then slowly calmed as she saw who we were blaise reached to touch her cheek softly but she pulled back with a frown " its nothing ..i Walked into a door that's all I'm clumsy like that " he wasn't sure he was trying to convince us or herself but blaise seemed to buy it draco watched her closely and she seemed nervous and slightly out of it he could see a pattern in the bruise if he looked good enough blaise excused himself for a moment as he had to get some books himself draco took that moment to get his answers he grabbed a hold of her chin and turned her head slightly and carefully not to hurt her but still firm enough that she couldn't just pull away from him and he could see clear now that someone had hit her " who hit you granger ?" he demanded and she pulled back hard enough to be freed from the grib " no one " she tried to lie again and it frustrated him " I know your lying granger there is a clear pattern in the bruise so don't lie to me I don't buy that crap about walking into a door " she looked at him surprised but quickly changed her attitude towards him and stood up " what do you care you don't even like me " she spat at him then grabbed her book and was about to walk away but he grabbed her wrist "I might not like you but blaise does so I accept you blaise is my best friend so if he isn't there to protect you I have to " he let go and she just stared at him she shook her head at him and walked away without another word he wasn't sure he made the right choice by saying those things but he did feel like he needed to protect her somehow or atleast from someone
Alina rushed out of the library she clutched the book against her chest thinking to herself she shook her head how dare he act like he cared when all he did was make her feel less she looked on her watch and saw it was almost lunch time anyways she walked back to the common room and met up with hermione and her friends Ron glared at her Harry almost looked sorry but her sister still pretended not to see the big bruise on her " how was the library read anything interesting ?" hermione smiled at her " uhm this one " she held up the book in her hand and hermione nodded " I read that one before its good you'll like the ending " her sister linked arms with her and they made their way back to the great hall for lunch tomorrow the classes were gonna start again and she was actually looking forward to that it gave her some distraction from everything they arrived at the doors of the great hall at the same time as malfoy and blaise did blaise smiled at her " hey you were gone so sudden in the library " she looked from blaise to her sister and silently hoped Ron didn't hear any of this but to her disappointment he did he moved in front of her he took her arm and hissed at blaise and malfoy " stay away from her ...she Doesn't need anything to do with either of you " she looked at the ground when she heard malfoy laugh a mean and low laugh at Ron " isn't that for her to decide weasley I believe she is better off with us then she is with you " she snapped her head up and saw the hint in his eyes as if he knew now just by looking at her and at Ron that it had been him who hurt her she was pushed into the great hall by Ron while her sister was by her side still alina looked over her shoulder blaise looked confused and angry while malfoy just looked angry she tried to look as apologetic possible and blaise smiled weakly at her she was pushed down in her seat and she felt so small sitting next to her sister while ron and harry to place in front of them they started talking and ignored her the rest of the lunch she wondered if there ever was gonna be a time where she could do right and not disappoint every one around her as much as she was doing right now and whole her life
