CLEANING

Chapter fifty one

I was surrounded by darkness once again. I'd lost count at how many times I'd been here, surrounded by nothing but a dark abyss. I tried moving but my legs were stuck to the floor but when I moved my hands and made contact with the floor there was nothing but cold stone. What could possibly be holding me down?

I tugged and my shoes trying to pull my legs up so I could at least explore the darkness. The only thing I liked here was the emptiness but thing I hated was the silence. It was daunting, having no other noise but the light sound of your breathing.

I tugged once more but still my legs didn't move. I could see the light beginning to appear again but this time I could no longer walk towards it. My legs just wouldn't move. I tried harder this time giving my legs another strong shake and then I could feel the slight tingling sensation in my legs moving up and down, telling me that my legs were no longer dead and I could stand.

I pushed myself off the floor and stabled myself before stumbling to the light. I could now hear the voices of one or two people both of them I didn't recognise. One was shouting and the other was shrieking, like they were crying.

I could feel some thick liquid gliding down my head and legs both coming from different sources but each felt the same. I pulled myself to the light that was become brighter as I wandered over. Now I was facing it, the light was almost blinding but my eyes weren't fazed by the power.

As I stepped forward I heard the quiet hiss of a males voice calling "Clara" and then I was awake. My eyes were closed but I knew I was back, whatever had just happened must of taken a toll if I was now laying on what felt like a bed that smelt like pine and mint. I knew that smell. I could know that smell anywhere.

I eyes fluttered open adjusting to the sudden light I'd been exposed to and sat up, much too quickly causing my hand to go straight to my head and groan.

The voices went silent and I looked to my side to see Draco and, his mother? What? What was she doing here? She can't be here.

Her cheeks were streaked in tears one still falling down one. Her hair sat behind her neck and her diamond earrings shone in the light of the chandelier that hung above what I guessed was Draco's bed.

Draco's face looked relived and he walked over to me and knelt down.

"What happened?" I wonder, still rubbing my head.

"Carrow" He answered plainly. "She had you punished for being a so called traitor although I'm not to sure why and how she came to that conclusion. That's why mother is here, I needed her to tell me everything that has been going on the last few weeks" He explained.

"Hello dear" Narcissa smiled. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine, my head just stings and from what I can see I'm bleeding" I said to her as if it wasn't obvious already.

"Okay well Draco will help you clean up as I must go" She frowned. "Your father will be wondering where I went" She said to Draco. "Take care of her Draco"

Draco nodded and she kissed his head before grabbing the goblet that was sat on the table and disappeared.

I finally sat up straight, waiting for some help from Draco but he still sat beside me staring and nothing.

"Draco? Hello?" I mumbled trying to get his attention.

He quickly shook his head and looked up putting his hand out which I gladly took. He gently pulled me into his arms and guided me to his grand bathroom. I don't think I'd ever been in here, apart from maybe one party but I never really took any notice to the deign. I really did speak, money. It was also very Draco. With the chandelier and the green leather chairs, bookshelves that cover one wall of his room. The golden taps in his bathroom and the large bathtub located in the corner of the room.

"Jump" He said and I obeyed. I jumped back onto the marble counters hoping to not get blood on them but it didn't work. I could see the deep cut on my leg and I guess I had another on my head as blood was dripping down my cheeks.

Draco grabbed many things from the cupboard including bottles of what I assumed were potions he had stored for emergencies just like this. He opened the green bottle and poured a shot sized glass into a cup.

"Drink" He said as he palled it over.

"What does it do?" I asked before I drunk it.

"Heal those wounds of yours and then ill just wipe the blood away" He answered taking my hand and squeezing it lightly. I nodded and took the potion just like I would a shot. It was an almost sour taste but I could taste all the gruesome ingredients. I shook my head and I heard Draco chuckle at my reaction.

"Did you think it would taste like strawberries?"

"That's what I was hoping" I laughed.

"Right let's get the rest of you cleaned up" He said grabbing the cotton wool out from a jar. "This might sting" He warned before he put it against my head and I squealed.
