Please Don't Hurt Him
ANNABELLE LUPIN-BLACK
TIME JUMP: 1 WEEKIt's been one week since I heard what I heard. I've only seen Lucius 3 times. Every time, he looks at me and I know he knows it was me. But Theo and I are smart. Everytime Lucius is around, I stay with Draco and Theo. But I know he knows and I'm scared. What are they planning anyway? Voldemort is back. What is his plan and is he going to hurt Harry?
"Anna-" Draco said. We were all sitting at dinner and I had zoned out again. "Sorry what?" I asked. "I just asked if you were ok," Draco said. I nodded. "I'm fine. Really." I said. He nodded. He didn't believe me but hopefully he left it alone. Draco doesn't need anymore to worry about.
"Goodnight Belle-" Theo said. He kissed me and I went into my room. I put on some pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt. I had gotten a letter from my dad a few days ago but I still didn't open it. I decided to sit on the bed and read it. I opened the letter and read.
Annabelle,
Hi kiddo. We know you are still angry with us and we understand. We hope you are having fun with your friends and we love you. If you want to come home at any point, we miss you dearly. Please come home. Just...please. You are our daughter and nothing and nobody can ever change that. We love you. Unconditionally. Please write back soon.
I sighed and my eyes watered. I wanted to go home but I didn't know what to say to them. There were so many lies and the betrayal was too much. I'll go home, just not yet.
Later that night, I heard footsteps outside my door. The same footsteps as that night. I held my breath and closed my eyes. No. I should have stayed in Theo's room. My door opened and before I could react he spoke. "Petrificus Totalus" he said. My body froze and I couldn't move as he walked closer. "Silencio," he said. He ripped the blankets off my body and stood over me.
"Can't run from me now, can you?" he said smugly. I could move, I couldn't speak, I couldn't escape. My eyes filled with tears as he levitated me to his study. My body hit the floor and the door shut. "Colloportus, Mufflito," he said, pointing his wand at the door. "Finite" he said as he pointed his wand at me. The spells broke and I immediately stood to my feet and ran to the door. "Theo! Draco!" I screamed as I yanked on the handle. He just laughed. I backed away and stared at him. "What do you want?" I asked. "I know it was you snooping outside my study the other night," he said. "I don't know what you are talking about, I didn't-" I started. "Crucio" he said. I collapsed to the floor as the pain overwhelmed me and I screamed. I panted for breath and he stood in front of me. "What did you hear?" he asked. "I didn't hear anything. I swear. Please just let me-" I started again. "Crucio" he said. The pain just got worse. I thrashed on the floor as I began to cry. He grabbed my hair and forced me to look at him. "I suppose I'll just have to pry into that little brain of yours and find all your secrets," he said. No, no, no. He'll know. About Draco, he can't know. "Please don't, I'll do whatever you want, just stay out of my head." I begged. "What are you hiding?" he asked smugly. "Nothing." I said. He hit me with his damn cane again and I fell to the side clutching my face. "I hate liars." he spat. "Legilimens," he said.
