ANNABELLE LUPIN-BLACK
Harry was doing it again. Rubbing his scar. Hermione noticed it too. She looked at me with her eyebrows raised and I nodded. "Your scar, it's burning again. Isn't it?" she asked him. He shrugged. "What do you think it means?" I asked. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "I'll tell you if you tell me what you took a picture of that's got you so rattled." he said. I rolled my eyes. "Nice try. I told you it's nothing." I said. "I don't understand why you won't just show us Anna, maybe we can help." Hermione said. "I don't even understand what I saw, how could you?" I snapped. We all looked away. "I'm going to get some air." I said. They nodded and I left the cabin on the train. I love Harry, but sometimes I swear he looks for trouble.
I walked down the aisle of the train hoping to find Julia and Alexa but no luck. I decided to change ino my uniform and head back. I went to the loo and got changed. I put on my white button up and my skirt. Then I put on my thigh high stockings and boots and my tie and robes. I grabbed my bag and headed out. I was on my way back to our compartment when I bumped into someone. I fell to the ground and looked up to see Malfoy and his goons. "Well, well, well if it isn't Annabelle Lupin-Black herself. Tell me, are you gay too or is it just your pathetic dads?" he asked with a sneer. "Malfoy, let's go." Nott mumbled but Draco brushed it off. I rolled my eyes. "Trust me Malfoy, if anyone here has daddy issues, it's you." I said. "Don't ever mention my father you filthy mudblood." he spat. "Really, is that the best you can do? Here's what I got, I think the reason you talk so much trash about my dads is because deep down you are scared to admit that you are just like them? Am I close?" I asked. Blaise and Theo's faces dropped. Malfoy gave me the death stare of a lifetime. Suddenly, he grabbed my wrists and pinned me against the door. "Let go of me." I said struggling under his grip. "Let her go mate." Theo said. "We're going to get in trouble, she's the professor's daughter." Blaise said. Draco just glared at me. "I am nothing like your faggot fathers. They are disgusting and a disgrace to the wizarding world." he said. "The only disgrace is you. You are a bully and-" I started but he slammed me back and I could feel his grip on my wrists tighten to the point of pain. "Don't you get it mudblood, you are a charity case. You won't ever be a real wizard. The only reason they even let you near Hogwarts is because of your fake dad. Your whole family is fake. Do you get it? Or are you stupid too?" he spat. My eyes filled with tears. "Draco, let her go." Nott said as he tried to pull Draco off me. "She needs to learn her place-" he started.
"Let her go, Malfoy. Or I swear I will hex you into oblivion." I turned around and saw Edmund standing there with his wand drawn. "Ah the boyfriend." Draco said. "Come here Anna," Edmund said. I walked over and stood next to him. "Stay away from her. I won't ask nicely again." he said sharply. "You are just as pathetic as her." Draco spat. "Go whine about it to your father." Edmund said. Then he took my hand and we walked to an empty compartment. He shut the door and I hugged him. "Hey, it's ok darling. You're alright." he said. I let go and he tucked a lock of hair behind my ear. "I missed you." he said. I smiled. "I missed you too." I said. "What were you doing with Malfoy and his friends?" he asked casually as we sat down. I furrowed my brow. "What? What do you mean?" I asked. "Well, you were talking to them. I thought I told you to stay away from them." he said. I rolled my eyes. "Ed, you can't tell me-" I started. "I am your boyfriend right?" he asked. "Of course, I just-" I started. "I told you to stay away from them, why didn't you listen to me?" he asked. "I bumped into them and he started talking about my dads. I was just defending myself." I said. He ignored me and just looked out the window.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'll listen to you from now on. I swear." I said. He hummed in response but didn't look at me. "I really am sorry." I said again. "I'm just trying to look out for you." he said. I nodded. 'I know. Thank you." I said. He nodded. He got up and sat on the same side as me and placed his hand on my thigh. "You know if you wanted to make it up to me, I can think of some ways to do it." he said with a smirk. There it was. That pit in my stomach followed by confusion. "Ed, I told you, I didn't want to do that yet." I said nervously. "But Anna, I'm your boyfriend, don't you trust me?" he asked. My mind started to race as I tried to figure it all out. I wanted to wait. But he didn't. He was my boyfriend so did I have an obligation to do that? If I'm his girlfriend shouldn't he care about me enough to wait until I'm comfortable too? I didn't understand why he- My thoughts were interrupted by his hand sliding up my thigh. "Wait, just wait a second-" I started. Then he kissed me. "Shhh, don't you want to make me happy?" he asked. As if to come to my rescue, the train came to a stop. He sighed and rolled his eyes. I pretended to be upset too. "I'll see you later tonight, love." he said. I nodded and he left. I sat in the compartment and tried to collect myself. I was fixing my hair when the door opened. "Ed, I told you-" I started but when I turned around, I saw Theodore Nott.
