Why can't I move? My head hurts. I want to rub my eyes. Why can't I?
Slowly opening my eyes, I jerked my hands again, then looked up and saw that there were ropes folded and knotted through my wrists, holding me still.
The fuck?
I didn't know what to do. What do I do? I'm stuck. I don't know where my wand was, it looks like it's late afternoon when I look out of the window, so hardly anyone will be around, it's Saturday.
My head was pounding. One part is probably from a nasty hangover, the second most likely from the whirling thoughts.
Uh oh. Did I have sex with someone??
Was I with someone kinky? Why am I tied up? Was it Draco? Was it consensual? Clearly not, if it did happen. I don't remember it.
Just as I huffed and laid my head back down, squeezing my eyes shut, I heard my door creak open. I shot my head up. "Draco?" I croaked out.
He seemed to jump back a little, seemingly startled that I was awake. "Hey, how are you feeling?" He had a small bag in his hand, probably from going to hogsmeade all day.
"A hangover potion would be nice. And can you untie me? Why am I tied up?"He set his back down and retrieved his wand from his sleeve, immediately reversing the spell and untying my wrists. The first thing I did was rub my eyes, stretching out my body. While I was stretching, Draco went into his bag and grabbed a vial out of it, sitting on the corner of the bed.
While uncapping the vial, he started speaking. "How much do you remember from last night?" He handed it to me, and I downed the whole thing, giving it back to him. "I just remember getting to the party and you telling me to be careful–" I paused, realizing I did the opposite of what he said if I don't remember what happened. "--Which I clearly didn't listen. I'm sorry."
His face dropped a little. "Well, I knew you were stubborn, but I really think you went too far this time." I looked at him confused. "How bad was it?" I stood up wobbly, waiting for the potion to kick in. I went to Dracos wardrobe and grabbed a jumper from it and put it over my head, since I was still in my dress from last night.
As I sat back down, I noticed his angry, yet worried face. "What happened, Draco."
"You were drugged, Cora."
My heart dropped. Drugged?
I scoffed, laughing nervously, my hands starting to sweat. "W-what do you mean? Drugged? Is that why I was tied up? Did— something happen? Draco, what happened? Nothing bad happened, did it? Why was I tied up–?" I stammered out, his hands going up to grab my face. I grabbed his forearms tight, his body coming closer to me.
"—Cora, you're fine. I tied you up. That new girl, Ruby, gave you LSD. You had a bad trip. I gave you a sleeping potion, but did not want to leave you and you somehow ended up waking up, I didn't know if the potion was going to work."
I choked out a cry, staring into his striking blue eyes. "She drugged me?"
He gave me a sympathetic look, then laid a hand on the back of my head and pulled me to his chest. "I'm so sorry, love. I took her straight to Umbridge's office after I took care of you." I clenched my fists into his shirt, looking back up into his eyes.
