Forever & Always - (Draco Malfoy)

TWENTY

QUINN POV

I crashed down onto my knees as soon as we stepped inside our dorm. I concealed my face with my hands as I sobbed into them. I was disgusted and traumatized by everything that just happened. Standing in front of him almost naked was horrific, he was cruel. I was so afraid I was going to be forced to lose my virginity to him.

Lila sat on the floor next to me, gently rubbing her hand on my back. She didn't say anything, there wasn't anything she could say. She just wanted to be here for me and that was all I needed. She wrapped a blanket around my body, I had been so upset I hadn't put my clothes back on yet.

I gasped for air between sobs, trying to calm myself down. I lifted my face out of hiding and looked at Lila, a tear was tracing a line down her cheek as she watched me. She was a good friend, she cared, and this hurt her as well. She felt helpless.

A knock erupted through the room from our door, I flinched scared that it might be Ryder.

"I'll grab it." Lila whispered, lifting herself off the ground. I stayed on the ground, with the blanket wrapped around me.l, silently praying it wasn't him.

"Can I come in?" Draco asked, I knew it was him without having to turn around.

"Sure." Lila shrugged. The tall blonde boy stepped in the room and I turned my head to meet his eyes. He was staring at me, a broken look on his face. I couldn't control it, the tears slowly fell down my face again and I shook my head.

"Quinn--" he trailed off, his voice was weak and pitiful. He took a step towards me, waiting for me to give him the okay to sit down beside me. I nodded at him, and he took a seat beside me on the floor.

"I'll go spend some time with Blaise- give you some time." Lila announced, headed for the door leaving us alone. The door clicked shut and the silence surrounded us.

"Are you okay?" he whispered.

I shook my head, a tear slipping on to my lips as I parted them to speak. "No."

He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me tight against his body. I rested my head against his shoulder, my body relaxing with his touch.

"I'm so sorry--" he breathed.

"He's a death eater." I softly announced.

"I know."

"My mom-"I stuttered with a hushed tone. "My mom was killed by a death eater."

He looked down at me, with wide eyes and a shocked expression. I hadn't told him that yet, actually the only person who knew was Harry and Ron. He looked like he had no idea what to say, there was a long silence lingering around us.

"It was last year." I continued. "So, when I saw his mark, it made me that much more afraid."

"Quinn-" he started, shaking his head. "I need to tell you something."

A knot formed in my throat and my heart began to race. I was scared for the next words that would slip from his lips.

"My father is a death eater."

I let out a deep sigh. I had already known Draco's dad was a death eater. My father has been working as an Auror at the ministry for years and Lucius worked there as well. There were always rumors that he was a death eater, I had heard my dad and mom say the Malfoy name several times. My dad said he was more of a political death eater, enlisted by Voldemort to get relay information from inside the ministry.

"I know." I whispered.

"Wait- What?"

"I have heard the rumors about your father."
