Can't Have You | D.M. | 18+

28. two negatives

TW: This chapter contains the talk of abuse, rape and sexual assault.

You didn't go to class the whole day as you sat in your room and stared at your presents Draco gave you. Alice bursts in with your bags and books throwing them on your bed.

Alice: Care to explain why you didn't return to class?
You: I found the truth.
Alice: What?

You explain everything Blaise said to you and she jumps at you and hugs you tight.

Alice: Finally, you won't be fucking miserable the whole time. When do you plan to talk to him?
You: Tomorrow at the party. Oh, and I may have kissed Blaise on the cheek when I thanked him. I couldn't help it, I'm sorry.
Alice: Eh, it's fine, he told me. He looked so red in the face he thought I was going to kill him.

You both laugh as you look down at your presents.

Alice: Are these the gifts he gave you?

You nod your head and show her the pictures. She carefully looks through everyone, smiling at each.

Alice: I'm guessing this one is your favorite?

She holds out the one of just Draco, looking into the sunset then looking back at you and smiling. You smile and nod as she hands you back the pictures.

Alice: Well, we need to get you fed. Let's go get dinner.

You both walk out of your dorm and into the great hall. You notice Harry waiting for you, as soon as he sees you walk in, he walks over to you.

Harry: Why did you skip? Do you want to fail this year?
You: Piss off, Harry. I'm not in the fucking mood, okay?

You and Alice walk over to sit down but he follows sitting down next to you.

Harry: No, I need to know what's going on. You have been ditching on and off for the past couple of months. Is this still about Cedric?
You: God, no. Harry could you please piss off.

Draco hears your argument and looks over, a worried look on your face.

Harry: Anastasia, I have to know. Mum and Dad are worried about you, they...

He immediately covers his mouth with his hand. You look at him, your face glowing red.

You: What the fuck did you just say?
Harry: No-nothing.
Alice: Bullshit!
Harry: I didn't mean to. They asked about you so I told them. About Cedric and everything.
You: Why the fuck would you do that! God, Harry, can't you just lie for once!
Harry: I didn't want to let this turn into another incident...

You stare at him with the deadliest stare, your eyes growing as they widen. You let your head fall to the table as you start to remember that night. The night you lied to sneak out and go see a boy, come to find out he just wanted to have sex. You were only 13 then, he made you...
"Don't think about it."
You start to hyperventilate as you begin to think about the incident. Alice watches you before rubbing your back to stare at Harry. You can feel Draco's eyes on you as you can't find the air you need.

Alice: Harry! How dare you bring that up.
Harry: Oh my god, Ana, I don't know why I said that. Please...

You quickly get up from the table and leave as you hear Alice say...

Alice: Next time, try keeping your fucking mouth closed. She already has enough shit to go through. She doesn't need a reminder of that fucking night.

You quickly run up the stairs and lay down on your bed trying to catch your breath and calm down. You never wanted to remember that night. Ever. That's why you started to date Cedric, knowing he wouldn't force you into anything. Alice walks in with tears on her face. She remembers you going to her house that night, like you said you were doing, to tell her what happened with the boy. You're parents then found out and the boy was expelled from Hogwarts and went somewhere, far away. Of course Harry had to bring it up. You never called it rape, you just called it an 'incident.' Alice sits down next to you.
