Secrets || Draco Malfoy

Five

It doesn't take more than a minute for her favorites to come in. Draco is sneering.
"Get them." Umbridge says.

Goyle comes up to me and grabs me. I try shaking him off, but everyone else is being grabbed.
"Oh, Malfoy tie the Potter boy up." Umbridge says.
Draco grabs Harry and ties him up in the chair.

I look over at Hermione in fear as we wait for Umbridge to say something. I look over and notice Draco left. Oh god.

He comes back in after a bit dragging Neville.
"I found Longbottom." Draco says.
"Perfect." Umbridge says.

I try to slip out again but Goyle pulls my arms down.

"Which of you are going to tell me where you were planning on going." Umbridge says looking at us. I tighten my jaw. She looks at Ron.
"Weasley?" She says. Ron looks over at me. She looks at me as well.

"So Y/n?" She says. I feel Goyle tighten his grip.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Where were you going?" She says growing impatient and stepping towards me.
"I'm not telling you anything." I say. She gets even closer. I'm staring into her eyes, not going to show her how scared I am.
"You we're going to Dumbledore, weren't you?!"
"No." I say. She slaps me.

Without thinking I lunge. I get free from Goyle's grasp. He grabs my shoulders and pulls me back, before I can do anything.
"Touch me again, and watch what happens." I say through my teeth.

"Malfoy, why don't you take her, she's quite feisty." She says turning around. Draco comes over and grabs me. His grasp is stronger yet more careful.

Snape walks in.
"I need answers whether they want to give them to me or not. Have you brought the Vertiserum?" Umbridge asks. I look over at Harry.
"I'm afraid you've used up all my stores interrogating students. The last of it on Miss Chang." Snape says. Hermione and I look at each other. "Unless you wish to poison them, and I assure you, I would have the greatest sympathy if you did. I can not help you." He starts walking out. No, no, no.

"He's got Padfoot. He's got padfoot at the place where it's hidden." Harry spits out. I look at Snape begging for him to help us.
"Padfoot? What is a Padfoot? Where what is hidden? What is he talking about Snape?" Umbridge says. Please help us, please.
"No idea." Snape says. Fuck. He leaves.

"That leaves me with no other choice, the Crusioutuce Curse shall loosen your tongue." Umbridge says looking over at Harry.
"That's illegal!" I yell out trying to not let Harry get hurt. He doesn't deserve this.
"What Cornelius doesn't know won't hurt him." She says turning his picture down. She starts to walk over to Harry.

"Don't hurt him!" I yell.
"What?" Umbridge says.
"Don't do it on him. Do it on me!" I yell. Harry looks at me like I'm crazy.
"You're willing to do that?"
"Yeah." I say fear running through me. I can feel Draco shift behind me.

"Well." She says turning to me. She pulls out her wand and points it at me. I close my eyes and prepare for the worst.

"Tell her guys! If you won't I will!" Hermione yells.
"Tell me what?" Umbridge says looking at her. I take a deep breath. Hermione looks at me for help. Shit.
"Uhh... Dumbledore's secret weapon." I say. Harry looks at me confused. I shrug slightly.
"Take me now." Umbridge says looking at me.
"I don't really know where it is, Hermione and Harry know more." I say. Hermione gives me a 'what are you doing' look. "I just know it's somewhere in the forest." I say. Hermione finally gets it.
"I'll take you, if you promise not to hurt them." Hermione says.
"Yes, yes. Just take me."

Hermione and Harry walk with her outside.

We're left alone with them.

"Get your filthy hands off me." I say shaking Draco off. I take a step away from him.
"My hands aren't filthy!" He spits back. I chuckle and look away from him.

"Where were you going really?" Goyle asks.
"Why would we tell you?" I say. "So you can go tell Umbridge like the little dogs you are?"
"Shut you mouth." Draco says stepping towards me.
"No."

"And let Ron and Neville go."
"And why would they do that?" Draco asks.
"You let her go." Ron says. "How's that fair?" Draco doesn't respond.
"Look if you guys need a hug that badly just ask." I say smirking. They quickly push them off.

Ron pulls out candy from his pockets. I recognize them.
"What are you doing?" Draco says.
"I'm hungry."
"Too bad." Goyle takes them.

Me and Ron look at each other as they split them.

It doesn't take long for them to get sick.

We run out.

We run into the rest of them.
"How did you get out?"
"Pucking pastilles. It wasn't pretty."
"Told them I was hungry, and they took them."
"That was clever Ron"
"Has been known to happen."

"So how are we getting to London?" I ask
"Not we. Me." Harry says.
"What?" Hermione asks.
"I can't get you guys in trouble." Harry says.
"He's my godfather too, Harry!" I say offended and hurt.
"I-." He tries to say.
"Look the DA's all about doing something real or were those just words to you?"

"So how do we get there?" He asks.
"We fly of course."

A.n: hey I'm sorry it's been so long
