Odd one out.

Changing

I wake in the morning to see a note on Theo's side of the bed
Father has ask me home for a couple of hours, I'll explain everything when I'm back love,
Theo
I get out of bed and head to the bathroom and get ready for the day, I get some breakfast and head to the library where I see Hermione, she sits with me and we study for a while together and I decide to check some books out and head back to Theo's room to wait for him.

Around 2 I get bored and end up just laying on the bed for an hour until I hear the door open and I sit up and see Theo stood there with his back to the door, blood coming from his eyebrow and nose, I rush to the bathroom and grab a towel running it under some water before I run back to him 'Theo are you okay' I ask and he just looks at me and gives me the tiniest smile, I start to carefully wipe the blood off of his eye brow and I see that there's a cut on the bridge of his nose so I start to clean that as well. Once most of the blood is gone i check his face once more and I go to get the first aid box when I walk back in he slides to the floor the floor and holds his head in his hands and I see his knuckles are all bruised and cut 'what happened Theo' I ask again as I sit down in front of him and I pull his hand away so I can clean it. He stays silent until I'm finished 'my father wanted me to sort something out so I did, he had a meeting today and I had to sit in on it but there was someone else there as well y/n.... Draco was sat there with them in their meeting' he breathed out looking at my face trying to see How I was feeling about it 'well I'm not surprised' I say 'what' Theo questions me 'well my Father is his most loyal follower so I'm not surprised Draco is following in his footsteps' I answer as I grab all the stuff from the floor and pack the first aid kit back away and i put the stuff in the bin.

I turn around and find Theo standing right behind me and i bump into him causing me to nearly fall over but he grabs my shoulders to stop me falling 'theres something else y/n, my father has heard about you, he has asked you attend the next meeting, he thinks its only right to meet the last Malfoy of the family' Theo tells me, he looks deep into my eyes trying to work out what im thinking 'ill go but only if your there with me' I say after a moment 'of course ill be there' Theo says and he pulls me in for a hug 'when is the next meeting' I ask nervously into his chest 'Tomorrow y/n, he wants to see you tomorrow but i promise you i wont let anything happen to you ok' Theo says in a quiet voice, I nod my head. Theo gets in the shower and i head back to my room to pick out my clothes for tomorrow after staring at my wardrobe for 10 minutes i pick out my black skinny jeans, a purple tank top with my black combat boots, at least i had good clothes to pick from the only thing my mother would let me buy without running it past Father, I grab my black coat that my mother got me for my birthday its the same as hers. I grab my other bag and fold my clothes into it and then I turn into my bathroom grabbing my wash bag and i put my shampoo and showergel in it with my toothbrush and my hairbrush, I then grab my lip balm and my hair bobble and head back to my bag.

Once im packed i head back to Theos room and find that hes now laying on the bed staring at the ceiling,  i put my bag down 'Is it okay to stay with you tonight' I ask him 'Yes, you dont have to ask' Theo says sitting up to smile at me, I start to unpack my bag, hanging my clother on the back of the door and Theo moves them by placing them in his wardrobe and he puts my stuff in his bathroom. We get some dinner and we head back to his room 'i forgot my pjs' i say and i go to get my shoes on 'Just wear my top' Theo says and he pulls a top out of his draw and throws it at me 'umm...Okay' i say and go to the bathroom to change, I walk out a moment later and his top goes down to just above my knee 'see fits perfect' Theo laughs as i walk to the other side of the bed and he turns the light out. We both lay there starring at the ceiling until i roll over to face Theo and he lifts his arm up for me so i can cuddle him, i move my head onto his chest and i play with the rings on his other hand and i spin them on his fingers after listening to his heartbeat for a while i fall sleep.

I'm standing in the living room at home and I can see the vase smashed on the floor, Draco stands next to me looking worried that he's about to get in trouble with Father for breaking Mothers favourite vase, I know this dream all too well we are both 7 years old and we were practicing magic in the house without our parents there to watch us and teach us. We both hear the footsteps approaching fast from the hallway 'what was that' Father shouts, me and draco look at each other not knowing what to do. 'What is this, for goodness sake that was her favourite and one of you brats have gone and broke it' father says 'so who was it then' father asks before Draco can I answer I do 'it was me father' i look down at the floor and wait for father to answer 'to your rooms both of you' we both turn heel and run upstairs to our rooms. A couple of minutes later I hear father walking to my door and he walks in 'get up and turn around to face the window' he says and I do as I'm told, he lifts his cane up and strikes me across the back, I tried to hold in my tears but I can't and I start to cry. He hears this and it only makes he angrier so he strikes me again and again until my back is numb with pain once he's satisfied with his work he walks out without saying a word. I fall to my knee howling in pain and I can feel my shirt sticking to my back which courses it to hurt more after about 30 minutes of trying to calm myself down I pull my top over my head and a fresh wave of pain hits me but I bite my lip and I pull myself up infront of the mirror, I see my red eyes and tear strained cheek as I look up into it, I turn around slowly to see what damaged he had coursed to my back and I burst out crying again as I see blood trailing down my back and I can make out 7 wounds that where made from the cane, 'wake up' I hear and I can feel my body being shook 'wake up' I hear.

I bolt up in bed my hair stuck to my face and my breathing is unsteady 'hey, your okay, y/n, it was a dream your safe' I hear as Theo sits up quickly next to me 'sorry, it was just a bad dream' I say to Theo 'you can talk about it if you like' he says as he rubs his hand on my back. I get out of bed and head to the bathroom to splash water on my face theo appears in the door way looking concerned. I walk back past him after and sit on the bed, theo walks over and hands me a cigarette after a couple of drags I get comfortable 'it's just a dream of when I was younger, my father caned me for something Draco did but it still feels so real' I say 'the fear, pain and betrayal' I take another drag 'that nightmare was the first time my father had ever hurt my physically' I stand up from the bed and I pull my top over my head revealing the ugly scars he left there 'see what you said before me and you are one of the same, we are in more ways than you know' I turn my head to look at him, I see him stand and walk over to me like I had done to him and he moves his fingers alone the scars, then he leans down and kisses then one by one. 'Your still beautiful in my eyes' he says as he walks around to face me, he takes my face into his hands and leans down to kiss me. We move back to the bed and my legs hit it, I pull away from him 'sorry' I say 'not yet, I'll wait until your ready' he whispers as he kisses my forehead before he moves to pick my top up and gives it back to me to put back on. We go back to bed but I couldn't sleep the rest of the night so I lay there waiting for the sun to come up, waiting for this meeting, waiting to come face to face with my father again.
