Polyjuice

My eyes opened slowly, trying to comprehend where i was. When i looked around i saw Draco sitting in a chair with his eyes closed looking like he was resting. I tried to be as quiet as possible and quickly pulled the blanket off me. My breathing became heavier and my chest was aching of horror. I stumbled out of bed and he must've heard because he opened his eyes and came over to me, sitting on the floor. My body froze when he touched me, tears started to form in my eyes again. 

"Its okay, you're okay. Please calm down." He said as he helped me on the hospital bed. I closed my eyes hoping it was a dream but it wasn't. When i opened my eyes again he was still there, looking down at me with a confused expression plastered over his face. 

"Please, i'm sorry." My voice almost didn't come out. I tried to grab something to defend myself but the only thing around me were wires and medicine. Madam Pomfrey walked over to me to give me my painkillers. I looked between Draco and Madam Pomfrey waiting until she's close enough to say something. 

"He did this, he tried to kill me." i whispered to her. Draco's eyebrows furrowed and looked around him to see if there was someone else standing there. Madam Pomfrey looked at Draco and smiled lightly. I opened my mouth in disbelieve and laid my head back with no hope left. I thought she knew and just kept it a secret. 

"That's not possible, dear. He was with me and Professor Mcgonagall that night." she answered silently. I felt anger building up inside me, why was she lying? I know he was with me otherwise i wouldn't be laying here. 

"Can you please get Mattheo?" i asked her politely. She nodded and gave me the medicine and a cup of water. I swallowed the pills and gave the cup back to her. She put it aside and left me with him alone, again. 

He sat back down in his chair and sighed. My eyes kept staring at the door, forcing myself to keep my eyes open. It was hard considered my eyes growing heavier every minute. 

"I don't know what you're thinking right now y/n but i didn't do any of this." He started. I didn't respond, i just kept staring at the door waiting for Mattheo to enter. And then he finally did. I took a deep breath in relieve and hugged him as soon as he approached me. 

"Are you okay?" He asked me. I didn't want to make it too obvious for Draco so i nodded and let go of him. I looked up at him and played with my fingers. 

"Rain." i blurted out and looked at Draco. Rain was a word Mattheo and i used as a joke to tell each other we were in 'danger'. For an example, everytime we crossed Pansy or Umbridge. We came up with it after Pansy threatened to kill me so that Mattheo knew when something was off. But like i said, we used it to joke around. Not this time. 

"He looked straight at Draco and back at me." I furrowed my brows at Draco, he did the same to me. 

"Are you sure?" he asked , looking back at Draco. This time not breaking eyecontact with him. I nodded and he went to his chair. Picking Draco up by the collar and throwing him on the floor. Mattheo got on him and started punching him in the face. Draco pulled him off and pinned him on the ground. 

"Mate, calm down. It wasn't me i swear. I don't know which drugs she used but i wasn't even at the party!" Draco yelled. Mattheo struggled to get out his grip but Draco was stronger. 

"I won't let you go until you calm down." he finished. I hated that i couldn't do anything to help Mattheo. I just sat there, frozen on the bed. He slowly calmed down and Draco let go of him. Mattheo got up and pushed him away. He came over to me and asked me to tell them what happened from start to end. So i did. 

- 

"HE FUCKING RAPED YOU?" Mattheo yelled, looking up at Draco who already had a disgusted look on his face. "This better not be you. I will fucking kill you." He spat at Draco. 

"And when i was laying on the ground his face started to deform. But i was probably hallucinating that part because of the amount of blood i was losing." I explained. Mattheo lifted his brows and exhaled. 

"Polyjuice potion." He sighed and looked at Draco. 

"Did you recognise his face when he was changing?" Draco asked me. I shook my head and didn't look at him once. I couldn't. Even if it wasn't him. 

"He mentioned something.. he said he was in love with me and gave me hints but i never noticed?" I scrunched my face in pain when i felt my stomach burning. "Honestly... i don't know anyone who is in love with me." I looked at Mattheo and lightly smiled. But then my smile dropped when i thought about it. He gave me multiple hints, he even confessed just a few minutes before it happened. He walked in right after it happened. I backed away slowly to the other side of the bed. 

"Wait you don't think its me right?" He questioned me. 

"It would make sense..." i answered slowly. Draco slowly stood up.

"No it wouldn't y/n. I was literally dancing with you and when you got pulled away i was looking everywhere for you. I wouldn't have called for help if i was the killer, that would be dumb." He rolled his eyes. 

"Can you guys please try to figure this out on your own somewhere else? I want some time to myself." I quietly spoke. They both nodded and left. I closed my eyes to get some rest and fell asleep short after. 

-

"But she'll need to get checked on atleast 3 times a day. Is that doable?" Madam Pomfrey asked the boys. They were letting me rest in my room for as long as i needed. Food would be brought in 3 times a day by Madam Pomfrey herself to make sure i ate. 

"Its the least we can do." Mattheo answered with a smile. 

"Great, then you're free to go." she released me from the hospital wing. Mattheo took me up to my dorm in bridal style since i still couldn't walk. Draco had to do something so he went the opposite way. When we entered my dorm all the memories flooded back in my head. The only thing different is the way i last saw it. Now the blood is cleaned up, new sheets were put over my bed and everything was just the way it was before. He put me down on my bed and put the covers over me. 

"You'll be safe. I'll make sure of it." Mattheo smiled. The locks were removed for emergencies and a button was placed on my nightstand for if something happened. Draco tried to give me as much space as i needed to recover for what 'he' did. But did not fully let me go. Always staying close enough for him to offer help when necesarry. 

"Mattheo?" I softly spoke when he was about to leave for dinner. He nodded.

"Can you help me taking a bath... after dinner..?" i asked afraid for a no as answer. 

"Sure." he smiled. I smiled back and then he left. As he left me by myself in the room i was raped and almost murdered in, tears started forming in my eyes. I laid on my side and looked out of the window trying to get my thoughts on something else.
