disclaimer I don't own Harry potter

I leave potions very happy that day even if I do have 'half-breed' burned into my arm. I can't believe he is so friendly and nice. He must really hate Harry Potter. It's lunch time now so I venture out to the great hall and sit and the end by myself. I help myself to a variety of food because even if I'm attacked I'm not going hungry. Fellow Slytherins walk past and notice my burn, I can hear them laughing and pointing. I decide to just pay attention to my food but I then feel eyes on me and I look up to see several older people down the table looking at me with evil grins. One of the people I notice as a guy who was apart of the group who attacked me. He catches me looking at him and cracks his knuckles then points to me. I go back to looking at my food. They shove past me as they go past. I wait at least ten minutes before leaving the table so I know that they have made it to where ever they were going. I'm leaving the great hall and notice that Harry, and Ron were leaving at the same time. I wave to them and they give me weird looks. "What in Godrics name is that on you arm?" Ron says loudly coming over pointing at it. I hide it behind my back.

"Ah nothing." I mumble. Just then Fred and George walk towards us as well.

"Your not annoying her are you?" Calls George. Ron still looks surprised by my arm and has his jaw open.

"Ron if you keep that open any longer you might actually be able to attract something." Laughs Fred which gets a high-five from George.

"Have you seen her arm?" Ron exclaims. Harry seems to have disappeared.

"No what's on your arm?" They ask in unison.

"Nothing" I say looking at the floor.

I see someone's arm come forward slowly and tenderly take my arm. They gasp. I look up and George is holding my arm and they look disgusted by what's happened.

"Who did this?" George asks angrily. All three Weasley's are red with fury.

I'm looking around the entrance hall for an excuse when I see Draco and his group. He knows what is going on so he points to me and I get the hint.

"I did it." I say without hesitation.

"Your lying" Fred says quickly and surely.

"You don't know me to know if I'm lying." I say snatching my hand back.

George gets angry "We know that after finding you in that room you wouldn't do this. We know you wouldn't ... Wouldn't brand yourself like this." They both grab me by the arms and drag me to an empty corridor. Fred grabs his wand out and holds my arm while George holds my other arm.

"We are getting rid of this." They say together.

"Stop it, you can't." I shout. Before they can do anything Draco comes round the corner as if he has waited for his entrance call. Fred and George let go of me quickly.

"Ah Rose there you are, I was just looking for you. You shouldn't be hanging out with these types of people." He says coming over to me, grabbing me by the forearm and leading me away. He takes me all the way to the common room. Thankfully it's empty.

"You got off lucky this time." He spits at me. I race to my room before any of the brutes come in and see me.

Over the next couple of days Fred and George don't talk to me. Neither does Ron. They don't even acknowledge my presence. In potions Snape doesn't make it obvious that he's a friend of mine but he just doesn't pick on me like everyone else. He doesn't now make fun of Draco which makes me realise that he knows about him burning me. I easily avoid all the senior Slytherin boys for rest of the week by hiding in the library. On Thursday we have our first flying lesson. It's the only other class besides potions that we have with Gryffindor. All us Slytherin go to the grounds to wait, Gryffindor arrive shortly after. It's a clear breezy day. A stern woman comes towards us. She had short, grey hair and yellow eyes.

"My name is Madam Hooch. Everyone stand by a broomstick. Come on, hurry up." She barks. I rush to a broom stick not wanting to be the last person. I'm stuck by Ron. We all have these old brooms that the school own.

"Stick out your right hand over your broom and say 'Up'" she calls at us from at the front. We all start shouting. I notice Harry's jumps to his hand straight away, mine does the second time I say it. Ron had difficulties and gets smacked in the face with his broom.

"Now when I blow my whistle , you kick off from the ground hard," said the teacher. "Keep your brooms steady, rise a few feet and then come straight back down by leaning forward slightly. On my whistle -three-two-" I get ready but Neville seems really keen and pushes off before the whistle. Madam Hooch starts shouting at him to get down but he keeps getting higher. The idiot I think to myself. The WHAM he falls on the grass in a heap.

Madam Hooch takes him to the hospital wing saying if any of us get on our brooms then we will be out of here. I walk away from the others a bit because Draco has started to tease Neville. Before I know it Draco is on his broom and flying with Harry following him. The idiot. I see Draco throw something a Harry diving for it. I figure he catches it because everyone starts to cheer. I walk over to everyone because I notice Professor McGonagall storming towards them and charging Harry away. I notice Draco is livid so I try to walk away quickly but not quick enough.

"You wait Rose." He calls to me and I rush off.

I'm sitting at dinner in the hall when Draco sits across from me. Crabbe and Goyle sit down on either side of me. I look up from my food.

"To what do I owe the pleasure boys?" I ask. Draco looks disgustingly at me.

"Don't worry I'm not contagious." I say rudely. I feel his wand under the table.

"You need to learn how to speak to your superiors filthy half-breed." He says menacingly.

Draco looks at his nails "Tonight I am having a duel with Potter. You are to attend. Goyle will collect you at midnight." He starts to get up as if I don't have a choice.

"What if I refuse?" He looks at me surprised and laughs.

"Watch your back Grey." He says walking off. I feel fear seeping in but I knew I would have to face the older boys again at some point. I feel eyes watching me so I look up to see George watching from the Gryffindor table. He looks confused but him watching what just happened makes me mad so I get up and leave the table. I walk out into the entrance hall when I feel people following me. I turn thinking its Fred and George but it's not it's the three-year 6 boys casually walking towards me. I turn around and walk toward the way to the dungeons, then I break into a run. I hear then chasing me. All I can think is that I have to make it to Professor Snape's room. I didn't make it. One of them grabs my collar causing me to fall on my back. They circle me laughing.

"Look what we have here. Thought you could run from us." One of them say to me.

"Oi Marcus stop playing with her, lets just get this over and done with." Says another. They all nod, take my arms and drag me into the closest empty class room. They let go of my arms so I get my wand out.

"Expelliarmus" I shout causing Marcus wand to shoot across the room. I will have to thank Snape later for the few lessons he has given me so far.

"You stupid bitch." He shouts. His friend shoots my wand away. Marcus' two friend hold my arms against the wall so I can't move and Marcus punches me in the stomach causing me. He looks happy. He then slaps me several times across the face. He walks away to recollect his wand. When he comes back he looks at me.

"What shall we do to you today, Draco has already burned you so that's off the to do list." He says looking at me up and down. I spit the blood I have in my mouth at him. I get him good on the face. He gets angry and slowly wipes it off. He then takes his fist and punches me hard in the face. I can already feel it swelling.

"Leave her for now." He tells his friends. They drop me and I fall hard to the ground. I get several kicks in the stomach before they leave me alone. I don't know how long I stay there for but it feels like hours. I know I have missed all my classes and Snape will be wondering where I am. I finally move slowly and painfully and make my way to Snape's office. I finally get there but I have spots forming in my vision. I don't bother about knocking so I just barge or well limo right into the room.

"Leave I don't want-" he looks up from his work annoyed but it then goes when he sees its me. He gasps.

"Rose!" And then I pass out.
