The Slytherin Princess

Chapter 76

JAYNE'S POV

It was already almost curfew so I went to my dorm. I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I looked in the mirror at my tear stained face. There was mascara under my eyes. I got in the shower and turned the heat on high. I scrubbed and scrubbed trying to get every trace of him off me. Finally, I stepped out and dried off. I put on some pajama pants and a tank top. My wrists had dark purple bruises on them from where Blaise held them. They were sore too. I looked at the clock and it was already 9pm. I checked the Marauders Map and Draco was in his room. I hid the map and left my dorm, heading for Dracos. I knocked on his door hoping he didn't hear about Blaise. He opened it and the second he saw me he pulled me into his arms. "I'm so sorry Jayne. I should have been there." he said. His voice cracked. I could hear the guilt. "It's not your fault Draco." I said softly. He shut the door and we sat on his bed. "Are you alright?" he asked. I nodded. He looked at me and his eyes were so sad. "Merlin Jayne, look at your wrists!" he exclaimed. I looked down and he touched them gently. I winced and pulled them away. "It's nothing." I said. "I'm going to kill him." he said. "Draco no. Please, just leave it alone." I said. Blaise knows about Draco. He knows about the mark. If Draco does anything to Blaise, he might expose him. I won't risk that. "Jayne, he can't-" he started. "Please Draco. I'm asking you not to do this. Please." I pleaded. He looked so angry. He just sighed. "Fine. I don't understand you but fine." he said. I nodded. He stood up and went into his closet. He pulled out a first aid kit and opened it. "Put out your wrists." he said. I held them out and he gently rubbed some bruise paste on them. I winced from the pressure but the bruises slightly faded. Then he laid down and I laid my head on his chest. He held me close and I listened to his heart beating until we both fell asleep.

TIME JUMP: ONE MONTH

JAYNE'S POV

It's the last week of school. I have so much anxiety. I have OWLs, I have no idea when Dumbledore is going to die, and Draco is so on edge. He looks like a ghost. His hands are always shaky. He tries to hide it but he really can't. One good thing is I haven't seen Blaise at all since that day. Otherwise Me and Theo have been studying like crazy. We were sitting in the library and Theo kept sighing dramatically. "What?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "We have been studying for hours, can we go get dinner?" he asked. I looked at my watch. He was right, it's been at least 2 hours. "I guess, let's go." I said. He clapped and we packed up, heading for the great hall. We sat down at the Slytherin table and began to eat. I had a slice of ham and a biscuit. Theo was wolfing down food like no tomorrow. "Slow down, you're going to choke to death." I said. He laughed. "Look" Theo said pointing across the hall. "What?" I asked. "Katie Bell, the girl who was cursed." he said. My veins iced. I wanted to go ask her if she remembered who cursed her. "Looks like Harry's about to interrogate the poor girl" Theo said chuckling. I turned back around and Harry was talking to her. I stood up and Katie's face dropped. Harry ran out of the Great Hall. "That's weird" Theo said. "I'm going to make sure he's ok." I said. Theo nodded and I rushed after him. I lost him in the halls so I walked around looking. Then I heard a crash and glass shattering. It came from the boys bathroom. I quickly ran in and there was water all over the floor. "Sectumsempra'' Harry yelled. I ran in and Harry grabbed me. "What are you doing?" I yelled. "He fired the first shot." Harry said. I looked at him confused and ran over to a pool of water. But it was mixed with blood and Draco laid there. There was blood pouring from his chest and he was coughing. My heart stopped when I saw him. "What did you do?" I screamed at Harry as I dropped to my knees next to Draco. I moved some hair from his face and kissed him. "You're going to be ok." I said softly. I tried to stop the bleeding but there were so many gashes in his skin. Draco's eyes closed and he was unconscious. "Jayne, I'm sorry.-" Harry started. "Go get help!" I yelled. There were tears pouring down my face. I wiped my cheek and got blood smeared on my face. My hands were covered in Dracos blood. My uniform was soaked. "Please don't leave me. I love you. I love you so much. Please I still need you." I cried. I held his head in my lap. The blood just kept pouring from his chest. Then Snape walked in. Harry pulled me off Draco and Snape pulled his wand placing it on Draco's chest. "Vulnera Sanentur'' he said. He repeated it over and over and the blood began to seep back into Draco. It separated from the water and went back to him. Draco was still unconscious when Madam Pomfrey came in and put him on a stretcher and carried him out. Snape followed them. I just stood there frozen looking at the blood on my hands. "Jayne, I didn't mean-" Harry started. I hit him. I smacked Harry across the face harder than I ever have. He stumbled back. I ran out and headed for the hospital. When I got there, Madam Pomfrey had removed Draco's shirt and was using a spell to heal the gashes on his pale skin. I ran over to his bed and sat on the edge taking his hand. It was ice cold. "Miss Black, he's going to be fine." she said. I nodded. "When will he wake up?" I asked. "Soon, but he needs to rest. I'll let you talk to him for a minute but then I'm going to give him a sleeping potion." she said. "Thank you." I said. I sat there watching him breathe and holding his hands to warm them. After about 20 minutes, his eyes fluttered open. I sighed with relief and leaned down pressing my lips on his. "Hey princess" he said weakly. My eyes watered. "Hi" I said. He wiped a tear from my cheek and held my face. I held his hand and smiled at him. "I thought I lost you." I choked out. "You can't get rid of me that easily'' he said. He started to laugh but then he started coughing. Madam Pomfrey came over with the potion. "You need to rest dear." she said. He nodded and drank it, dozing off instantly. "Miss Black, you should probably take a break." she said. "I'm staying with him." I said firmly. "Jayne dear, he won't wake again for a few hours. At least go back to your dorm and shower and change." she said gesturing to my uniform. It had blood on it and was soaking wet. I had blood on my hands and smeared on my face. "Ok, I'll be back right after." I said. She nodded and I slipped away.
