A Badass Malfoy

Chapter 50 - This Isnt You

Daphne's POV
Ever since I lashed out on everybody, I have ignored them. I will only acknowledge them once they stop treating me like a child. Every lunch, dinner and breakfast I would just spend my time in my locked dorm or library, reading. I have started going to classes but I hated it. Everyone would look at me and whisper about me. Do they not have anything better to do with their sad little lives?

I was in defence against the dark arts and sat next to Mattheo. I couldn't change that, every time I asked to move Professor Umbitch would just shut me down. He would try to talk to me but I just wouldn't listen and pretend he wasn't there. I noticed someone across the room was staring at me and whispering to the person next to them.
"You wanna say that to my face"
Everybody went quiet.
"No?"
"Oh no I insist. I promise you won't hurt my feelings"
"It wasn't anything bad"
"Oh yeah sure it wasn't. If it wasn't so bad, say it to my face"
"Miss Malfoy" umbitch shouts.
"What!"
"Stop shouting across the classroom"
"Not until that bitch tells me what she said. Or are you too scared"
"Who would be scared of you? You're too damaged to do anything"
"Say that again. I dare you"
"You won't do anything, you're too damaged"
I just started smiling and chuckled a little.
"Oh shit" I heard Mattheo say.
"You bitch" I shout it before climbing over the desk and walking over to her then punching her in the face, sending her to the ground. I climbed on top of her and grabbed her hair.
"Say anything like that about me again, I'll do worse. Maybe you could look like me, I know you would love that"
"You psycho bitch"
"Aww, you're so sweet"
I tried to punch her in the face again, but someone grabbed me off her.
"Get off" I shouted as they brought me out of the classroom and pinned me to the wall.
I looked up to see it was Mattheo.
"Haven't done this in a long time"
"What the fuck Daphne!"
"What"
"What was that"
"Did you even hear what she said. She basically made fun of me for what happened to me. I wasn't gonna let her get away with that"
I pushed him off and walked back to my dorm to clean myself up. There was blood on my knuckles from her bloody nose. If I'm lucky maybe I fractured it.

I was walking to my dorm from the last class of the day since it was dinner. As I walked into the common room, all my "friends" were on the couches. I tried to walk past them but they kept calling my name until Mattheo grabbed my wrist making me flinch.
"Get. Off. Me"
He slowly let go.
"What do you want?"
"Are you ok?" Pansy says softly.
I chuckled.
"Did you not hear me the first time?"
She looked confused.
"Don't. Talk to me. Like. A .child!"
"I-"
"Why do you do that? Huh? What, do you think that if you talk to me a certain way I'll break, maybe cry?"
"No I-"
"No no, I understand. You all think I'm weak that anything someone says is going to get to me well it wont so stop"
I walked away but Mattheo got in my way.
"Get out of my way"
"No"
"Get out of my way Mattheo"
"Daphne calm down. I don't know what's gotten into you but this isn't you"
"What do you mean this isn't me?"
"You've changed"
"Yeah well getting beaten black and blue everyday for weeks and being kidnapped can do that to someone"
I walked past him, nudging him and walked back to my dorm to cry. I didn't want what happened to me to affect anything, not how I'm treated, not how people talk to me, not anything. I read for the rest of the night until I fell asleep.

The next day when I woke up, I kinda felt bad about that little outburst I had. Yes, I was pissed about how they treated me and everything but it wasn't their faults really. They're protective friends, we're all protective of each other, that's just how we are. I got ready for the day and decided to go to breakfast to tell everyone I was sorry. As soon as I walked into the hall, everyone stopped talking to stare at me. I was kinda overwhelmed like the first time so I took some deep breathes, held my head high and walked over to my seat at the Slytherin table. All my friends were staring too which made it even worse so I looked to the ground, embarrassed. Www
"Guys stop staring" Mattheo says with an angry tone.
I looked up at him and smiled which made him smile back and wrap his arm around. It made me flinch but I put my head on his shoulder telling him it was ok. All our friends were now staring at us.
"What?" Mattheo asks.
"You two literally had an argument yesterday and now you're like this?" Blaise says.
"Look guys, I'm sorry. I just hate that what happened to me determines how someone treats me. I just don't think that's fair"
We were all silent until I got sharp pain in my warm, but so did Draco and Mattheo  making him drop his arm from my shoulder. I looked at my arm, forgetting what the pain was from. I saw the dark mark and my eyes widened, Voldemort wanted to see us. I forgot I was a death eater.
"Are you ok Daphne?" Pansy asks.
I quickly look up.
"Yeah I'm fine. I just, need to go" I say putting on a fake smile and quickly leaving the hall with Draco and Mattheo close behind.

We aparated to riddle manor and walked into the meeting room.
"Ah there they are" he says with his dumb smile.
"Right, let's get down to business"
We all took our seats at the table but I had a bad feeling about this, I think something bad is going to happen.
