Ophelia's pov
..........................

I see blaise and theo walk out of snape's classroom up behind draco. Theo looks at me with a concerned face" Are you ok O?" he asks. I feel the back of my eyes burning. I take two steps forward towards draco I was looking him right in the eye. I had to tilt my head upwards to see him because he is taller than me. My hand rises before I can stop it and It collides with his pale skin.

I feel a tear escape I reach up and wipe it away. Draco is looking at me in complete shock as well as everyone standing around us."you and I both know that nothing happened between us that night!"I shout my bottom lip quivering. I grip on to my books and hold them to my chest tightly.

I turn around so my back is to him. Trying not to cry I shove my way through the crowd of people that had slowly made their way around us. The rest of the day went by pretty quickly. I only had one other class with draco and we didn't even Acknowledge we were in the same room together. After all my classes are over I try to decide weather or not I want to go to the great Hall and eat or not.

If I go to the great Hall I am going to have to see malfoy and i really don't feel like doing that right now.So i head to the dorms instead. I enter the common room and it was empty because everyone was in the great Hall. I walk up the stairs to my dorm room I open the door and walk in.

I drop all of my books on the floor and fall to my knees. I start to sob one hand is holding my stomach while the other is on my forehead. I have been holding in my crys all day to wait until I got somewhere I was alone. I feel warm tears run down my face and I start to breathe really heavy.

My back hadn't ached at all until I got myself all worked up. I had almost forgotten about it. I push my self up off the floor wincing in pain as I walked towards the bathroom. I flipped on the light I pulled off my shirt my back facing the mirror. I turn my head and glance over my shoulder to take a look.

There was a big purple and yellow bruise that covered my back. I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw it for myself. It's not the worst thing my father had done to me and it's not like it hasn't happened before.

I reach around behind my back and unclasp my bra. Pulling it off and throwing it in the laundry basket along with my shirt and pants. I walk out of the bathroom over to my dresser. I pull on my buffalo plaid pants and a black spaghetti-strap.

I walk over to my bed and slide under my silk sheets leaning over and clicking the lamp off. I lay on my back staring at the ceiling. Thoughts running rapid through my head.Sleep didn't come easy that night and when it did it was only for a couple of hours.
