Chapter 10

I was walking down the hallway to the common room.

My last class had just ended and I had a tonne of homework.

I hadn't notice that the hallway had been deserted within the few seconds I was there.

I felt like I was being watched. I ignored it because I thought it was a ghost.

Out of nowhere I was pulled into a dark corner. I struggled against the person who captured me. I looked up and saw my capturer

"Greg, what are you doing? Let go!" I struggled against him even more but in the three years I'd known him he had gotten strong.

"No"

"Come on quit messing around. I'll help you with your homework if that's what you want"

"Sonny that's not what I want"

"Well what do you want?"

"You"

"Greg I don't like you like that"

"Why not?"

"I just don't okay now let go your hurting me"

"No. Now you know how you hurt me"

"I didn't want to hurt you"

"Well you did now you will be mine"

"Greg I will never be yours"

He gripped my arm so hard I thought it would break. He smirked evilly.

"Oh you will be Sonny you will be." With that he smashed my lips to his.

I struggled against him and tried to get my wand. He grabbed my wand and threw it somewhere. I pushed him off.

"HELP!" I yelled before he suffocated me with his lips again. Moments later Greg was ripped off me. I looked to see my saviour.

It was Snape. He was holding his wand to Greg's head.

Greg looked terrified. I stood there stunned.

"You will never ever do that again." He sneered. Greg nodded his head.

At that moment McGonagall decided to walk down the exact same hallway we were in, chasing a laughing Peeves.

"Peeves you will be banished from Hogwarts if you ever do that again"

He kept snickering and disappeared into the wall.

She finally saw the scene in front of her and changed her course.

"Professor Snape! Unhand that boy! What do you think you are doing?" She screeched.

"Mr. Cuneo was trying to harm Miss Munroe."

"How so?" she asked.

"I believe the correct term is attempted rape" he said still grasping Greg. She gasped and looked at them.

"I am taking you to the headmaster. Severus take Miss Munroe to infirmary. We want to make sure she hasn't been badly harmed" With that she grabbed Greg and took him in the direction of the headmaster's office.

"Are you alright?" I turned to see the dungeon bat with actual concern in his eyes.

"Yeah I'm fine" He nodded and we went to the infirmary. He signed the forms while I was examined by Madam Pomfrey.

"No real injuries but I will put this on your minor cuts" She put some salve on the cuts and let me go.

Penny and Daniel swarmed me at dinner. They shot out questions left and right. Finally I was saved by Professor Snape when he told me I had a detention.

Once we made it to the dungeons professor Snape sat down at his desk and started grading papers.

I shuffled nervously. "Uh sir why do I have a detention?"

"Minerva asked me to see if you were alright. Are you?"

"Yeah. Uh thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome." He muttered something that I could hear. It sound like I didn't want it to happen again.

"What was that sir?"

"Nothing"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive"

"Really? You look upset"

"I am fine miss Munroe please leave"

"Why? Why did you say you didn't want it to happen again?"

He looked up at me and shook his head.

"What?" I asked. I stepped forward towards his desk.

"Did you know a Connie?" I asked.

He looked up at me. "Yes"

"Was her last name Aston?"

He nodded.

"Do you know what happened to her?" He nodded again.

"Do you know she's my mum?" He nodded once more.

"Miss Munroe could you please leave and stop questioning me" He said.

"No. i want to know one more thing. Do you know my father?"

"No. I do however think it is whoever last name is is Munroe."

"No it's not. It hought it was but," I said. " Look I'm sorry for wasting your time. I'll just go" I grabbed my stuff and went to walk out.

"Miss Munroe. Whatever is troubling you spit it out"

"Why should I?"

"You brought it up and obviously want to talk about it"

"Fine." I sat back down "Do you know a Lucius Malfoy?"

"Yes"

"Well turns out I'm his one and only daughter. I think" He had an emotionless mask.

"Yeah and turns out my mother liked him and stuff happened and here I am. 13 years old and no father"

He didn't say anything and I left.

"It was a mistake for him to take her like that." He said.

I turned around. I felt tears in my eyes.

"It was. But there is no turning back now. If only someone was there to stop it"

"You wouldn't be here" He said. His mask was starting to crumble.

"I don't care. My mum's life wouldn't have been destroyed."

"Sometimes measures need to be taken to get stuff to where it is today"

"But at the cost of so many?"

"Yes"

"Of course you would say it"

"Excuse me"

"You would say that because your so cold and heartless that it wouldn't matter who died"

He stood up and towered over me. "Never say what my attentions are unless you know the truth"

"So what's the truth. Why do you hide behind snide comments and an emotionless mask"

"Precautions are nesscary"

"So what were you there when my mum was harmed? Is that why you didn't want it to happen again?"

"Like I said certain things are necessary to get us here today"

My eyes widened. "You were there?" I felt my blood boil. "Oh and why didn't you stop it? My mother was broken for years because of what he did. She lost all her close friends. She was dying until my stepfather came into her life. Malfoy destroyed her again not five years later. But still you did nothing to stop it. All of my mother's heartache could have been stopped. Why didn't you do it?"

"Miss Munroe my intentions are confidential and I ask you to leave. Now!" He pointed to the door.

"Fine" I stormed out of there.

I walked down a deserted hallway. I wiped the tears that now ran freely down my face. I sat down in a dark corner and cried.

Penny found me some time later. She held me while I cried again. She didn't say anything she just let me cry.

Once I recovered I hugged her and thanked her.

"Why were you hiding here and crying?" She asked me.

"You know what I told you just after Christmas break 1st year?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well I told him." I looked down guiltily at my hands.

"Told who?"

"Snape. I told him everything. And you know what? He saw what happened to my mother! He didn't do anything!"

"But if he did something I wouldn't have my best friend" she said. I smiled and we hugged.

"Come on let's get out of here before Peeves drops water balloons at us." I nodded and we walked off back to our common room. I didn't talk to anyone and I went upstairs and fell asleep.

The next few weeks went by and Snape ignored me and Greg was not seen or heard from again.

The bell rang and everyone ran out before Snape could give us homework. I was one of them. I got about halfway down the hall when Professor McGonagall came up to me.

"Miss Munroe the headmaster would like to speak with you" My eyes widened in worry. I nodded and followed her. We got to a statue of an eagle.

"Rolling cat tails" she said. The statue moved and a staircase started to appear. We climbed up and McGonagall opened the door at the top. Professor Dumbledore was sitting behind a desk eating candy.

"You wanted to see me sir?" I asked.

"Yes, yes sit down." I sat in the chair across from him. "I have heard that you had a spat with Professor Snape?"

"Yes sir" I looked down at my hands.

"Now what caused it?" I looked up at him.

"Well you see sir, Greg Cuneo tried something on me earlier that day and Professor Snape saved me. At dinner he brought me to his office to see how I was. He said something that lead to an incident that happened to my mother and well I started yelling because of it."

"What was the incident?"

"Um I don't feel really comfortable talking about it."

"You can tell me anything my dear I will not say a word." I could tell he was telling the truth.

"Uh well it started at the end of my mother's 7th year. She dated Lucius Malfoy and he uh he raped her sir." He nodded but did not say anything. "And after that she was very broken until my stepfather came to England and helped her pick up the pieces. Then five years later he found her again. He kidnapped her and well he was a death eater sir and they all raped her. I didn't find out about this until my first year here. Lucius Malfoy is my father." He seemed unfazed by this.

"I see now why were you yelling at Professor Snape?"

"Well he said he didn't want that to happen again and that lead me to believe that he knew something. I asked him about my mother and he saw it happen to her." I felt the tears in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away.

"And you accused him of hurting her?" he asked.

"No sir. I accused him of not doing anything." He nodded.

"Well if he did something then you wouldn't be here."

"I would trade my life for my mother and her life any day." I said.

He nodded. "You may go now. I just wanted to ask and see what the problem was" I nodded and exited.

McGonagall was waiting out there.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yes" We walked down the stairs together. She walked towards her class. I walked towards the common room. I had astronomy tonight which was my favourite subject. I decided to skip dinner to finish my homework. I regretted that dearly.

Fred and George had found out how to enter the kitchen. They told me immediately after they found out.

I walked to the portrait with the fruit and tickled the pear. The passage opened and I walked through.

As soon as I got into the kitchen I was swarmed by house elves.

"Would missy like something to eat?" A (I think) female house elf asked.

"Yes could I have I just have a sandwich?" I asked not wanting them to go through too much trouble.

"Yes missy I will be's right back" she said then scurried off. She came back seconds later with a tray filled with fruit and little sandwiches.

"Thank you" I took the tray from her and sat down at the table and chairs. I began eating when the door opened. I looked to see Professor Snape. I jumped and tried to hide with no success. So instead I sat there eating trying to look as though I didn't even know it was him.

"Miss Munroe what are you doing here?"

"Uh well you see sir, I skipped dinner and regretted that so I came here to get something to eat" I said.

"I see. Now how did you get in here?"

"Same way as everyone else. You tickle the pear" Who knew Snape of all people was this oblivious.

"I know but who told you?"

"Sir I cannot tell you who. That would go against my principles"

"I will give a month's detention with Filch if you don't"

I winced but I stood my ground. "Sorry can't say"

"I will also take house points"

"Still not saying"

"With your loyalties you should have been in Gryffindor"

"Yeah but my heart and kindness outweigh it at least that's what the hat says"

"I see" He then grabbed the tray from the house elf that stood there and walked out.

I looked at the time and quickly ate the last sandwich and ran out of there.

I made it to Astronomy just in time. I sat down beside Penny and we began the lesson.

"Please follow the graphs you have made and use them when you use the telescopes" Professor Sinistra said. I grabbed my graphs and went to my telescope.

I was able to graph some more stuff and did a few diagrams. I was the top in my class for Astronomy and I was hoping to get an apprenticeship after my 7th year.

The class ended at a quarter to one. We handed in our homework and went back to the common room. I was talking to Penny about what happened when I went to the kitchens.

She was surprised but I didn't hear her response because I fell asleep.

So how was that chap? You like it? If you do review!
