"Did dear old dad have a rough night?" Edmund asked as he walked up to me with a smug look on his face. "He's not feeling well. Why do you care?" I snapped. He just chuckled. My heart was pounding. There's no way. How could he know? "Don't lie," he spat. "I have no idea what you are talking about." I said as I tried to leave. He grabbed my wrist and whipped me to face him. "Playing dumb won't work either. I know your family's little secret." he said. My eyes watered. "You know nothing." I said. "Really? So it wasn't your dads running around the forest last night. Under the full moon." he taunted. No. How could he know? How did this happen? "Edmund- you don't-" I started. "To be honest, I'm surprised more people haven't figured it out. Our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is always sick the day after the full moon. How convenient?" he said. "Edmund, this isn't a joke or a game. He could be in serious danger if you tell anyone." I said. "Good, that just ensures that you do what I say," he said. No, No, No.
"You are going to blackmail me?" I said. "Yes. If you don't do exactly what I say, I'll go tell Umbridge and everyone else your dad's little secret." he said. He's bluffing. He has to be. "Piss off Edmund. You won't do shit. And nobody would believe you." I spat. I yanked my arm away and started to leave. "I wonder what people will hate more about him. The faggot and or the werewolf." he called after me. I stopped and turned around. He was casually leaning against the wall examining his fingernails. "What do you want from me?" I said. He smirked. "This will be fun," he said smugly. Then he dragged me into an empty classroom. That classroom.
My heart was racing and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the desk. I felt tears on my cheeks and he laughed. "Fucking hell, this is the classroom where that Durmstrang guy fucked you, isn't it?" he taunted. More tears fell to my cheeks. "Isn't it?!" he yelled. I just nodded. He walked over to the desk. "Fun" he said casually. "If I do what you say, you have to swear on your life you won't tell anyone about my dad. He could get in trouble or hurt or even killed. Please, just promise-" I started. "Fine!" he groaned. "What do you want?" I asked. He gave me a cruel smile.
"You are going to break up with Nott," he said smugly. My heart sank and I shook my head. "No." I said. He walked over and grabbed my throat, slamming me against the wall. "No?" he questioned. "Please. Please Edmund, he's all I have. Don't make me do this." I begged. He just laughed in my face. "First, You are going to break up with Theo. Then you are going to get rid of the rest of those snakes-" he started. "But they're my friends!" I yelled. "Not anymore," he said. I pushed his hand away and wiped my tears. "Is that it?" I asked. "No, there's one more thing." he said. "What is it?" I asked. Within a second, he pushed me up against the door with my wrists pinned above my head. "Since you want to be a slut now, you can be a slut." he spat. He kissed me harshly and I twisted my head trying to get away. "Edmund, stop!" I yelled. He began to kiss down my neck and I struggled. I couldn't breathe. I was in the same classroom as the first time. I could see the desk, I could almost see Donovan. Now I felt Edmund. "Please Edmund, enough!" I begged. "I thought you wanted to protect your dad?" he asked. "Please Edmund, not this." I pleaded. "Fine, I'll just go tell everyone-" he started. "No!" I yelled. He smirked. "Ok then," he said as he began to kiss me again. I pulled away and tried to push him off me. "Please Edmund! Just-just not here. Please." I said. He sighed. "Fine, my dorm, tonight at 10." he said. Then he left. I crumpled to the ground shaking and crying. I was under his control, again.
I finally made it back to Gryffindor and I saw Neville in the common room. He was reading about plants. I looked at Dean to see if I should talk to him. Dean just shook his head sadly. I nodded and went up to my room. I never thought I would be the one to break Draco and I's deal.
But I might have to because I can't do this anymore.

I got to my dorm and changed into my pajamas. Then I climbed up on the windowsill and cracked it open a bit. I lit a cigarette and took a long drag. Not even one full day in and I already wish the year was over. I was smoking in peace until Hermione and Ginny came in. "Why weren't you at dinner Anna?" Ginny asked. "Not hungry." I shrugged. They both gave each other that look. The look that meant be careful, make sure she's ok, she's fragile, be gentle, all that bullshit. That's the thing I like about Blaise and Pansy and Draco and Theo. They don't walk on eggshells and they give a fuck unless I ask them to. "Annabelle, what did I say about smoking in the dorm?" Hermione complained. "Don't do it without you." I said smugly. She rolled her eyes. "Put it out." she said. "Yes mom." I said sarcastically. I waited until they weren't looking and I quickly put the cigarette out on my arm. I winced for a second and hopped off the window.
"Goodnight guys." Ginny said. "Night." I mumbled. "Goodnight." Hermione said. Then with a flick of her wand, the lights went out. I stared at the clock and waited for the sound of silence. I blinked and the clock said 9:55. I sat up and Ginny and Hermione were asleep. I slipped on my slippers and grabbed my wand. I took a breath and headed for Edmunds dorm. Knock, Knock, Knock. I waited a few seconds and the door swung open. Edmund stood there in black sweatpants and a white t-shirt. "Well, well, well, look at what we have here." he said. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside. He shut the door, & locked it. "Mufflito," he mumbled.
"Where's your wand?" he asked. I exhaled a shaky breath and handed it over. He tossed it to the side. "I don't want to hurt you love, you know that right?" he said as he walked towards me. He towered over me and stroked my cheek gently. "You are blackmailing me by threatening the safety of my father. You manipulated me when we were dating and you hit me. I hate you." I spat. His nostril flared and he exhaled sharply. Then he shoved me back, hard. My back collided with the floor and I crawled back. "Edmund, please calm-" I started. "No! Just shut up, you stupid whore!" he yelled. My eyes watered and the fear took over. "I tried to be gentle. I tried to make it like we used to be. But you just want to be a bitch and make me the bad guy!" he yelled. "I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry! I won't-" I started. "You'll say anything to make sure I don't expose your filthy faggot werewolf father." he spat. Tears spilled down my cheeks. "Please, I'll do whatever you want, you can't tell anyone. Please Edmund." I begged. He chuckled darkly.
"Why don't you get on your knees for me darling?" he said with a cruel grin. I wiped the tears from my face and just nodded. I have to do this. I won't let my dad's life be ruined because I'm weak. Draco's secret was exposed to his father because of me, I won't do that again. I got on my knees in front of him and pulled down his sweats. My hands were shaking and I was trying not to cry anymore. He stroked his dick in front of me and I closed my eyes. "Do it." he said. And I did. He came in my mouth. "Swallow," he said, holding my mouth closed. I did it.
"Now take off your clothes and get on the bed," he said. "Edmund, please just wait- You don't-" I started. "Strip. And Get. On. The. Bed." he said sharply. I pulled off my long sleeve shirt and shorts and laid down. I felt him climb on top of me and I just closed my eyes and waited for it to end.
Once he finished, I sat up and ignored the horrible pain between my legs. "Can I please go now?" I said weakly. He shrugged. "Whatever." he said. I nodded and quickly got dressed. I started to leave when he grabbed my wrist. I looked at him and saw nothing but evil. "You have till Friday night at 10 to end things with Nott and the rest of those snakes. Do you understand me?" he asked. "Yes." I said barely above a whisper. "If you don't-" he started. "I know." I said. Then I left.
How am I going to do this? How am I going to break up with the person I love most and abandon the people that were there for me when nobody else was? How?
