We sat in my bed, both of us, facing each other. My nose still bleeding and Cedric's fists were both red from hitting Dered.
"I still can't believe what you did, Ced. I know he makes you angry but you hit him! When he sobers up he will go fucking mental". I said and looked away.
I stood up from the bed and walked to my dresser. I pulled out a pair of panties and a big t shirts.
"He just pisses me off!! He fucking rapes you, Aria. You can't liv with getting raped".
I knew he was right. Everything he said was right about my father, but I could tell him that. I couldn't agree to him hitting people. This isn't the Cedric I fell in love with almost five years ago. I pulled my mothers dress off and then took my bikini off. I could feel Cedric's touch behind me. His arms around my body and him holding me tight.
"I'm not going to have sex with you, Cedric. I'm not in the mood". I said and started to dress in my other clothes.
Me and Cedric had fucked once before, it was my first time and I really enjoyed it. His soft touch on my body and how he carefully made me come. It was perfect for a first time, even though I was very young.
I walked away from him and lay down in the bed under the chill covers.
Cedric undressed and put his underwear on. Then he walked to the bed and lay down next to me and cuddling me until he was sure that I had fallen asleep.

"Draco! Aria! Get up!"
I woke up from someone banging on the door. I looked down at the boy sleeping on a mattress on my bedroom floor. And it wasn't my boyfriend. Sometimes I even thought about breaking it with Cedric. I was still pissed about what he did to my father, and then his mood the days after- before he went home.
"Coming!". I shouted back at whomever banged on the door.
I walked up and straight to my dresser. I had gone to bed after Draco the night before, so I only put my panties on. That was a mistake I realised now, but luckily Draco was still sleeping.
I grabbed some shorts and put them on, then I changed my t shirt to a bra and a top.
———
"Morning everybody, father..". I sat down in the dining hall with a piece of watermelon on my plate and a cup of water.
I had a few responses, neither from Dered. He sat in front of me with a few bruises on his right cheek.
"Father I'm sorry for his behaviour, I have talked to him and-"
"He did something bad, Aria. Something really bad".
"Father I know. I talked to him".
"And someone has to be punished, that you understand right? I thought of visiting that boy and get my revenge but then it felt like a waste of time. You did stand there after all".
I swallowed. This wouldn't end gladly, everyone around the table knew that.
"You just stood there watching. So I figured I could just as well punish you".
I nodded slowly, "right". Since my father was smoking I reached out my arm for him, so that he could put the cigars out.
Dered shook his head, "no, no. Not that for now. You need to be punished harder, Aria. I think a round of the crucio curse will do it. Be free after lunch, this might take a few hours".
I swallowed and one single tear fell from my eye and among my cheek until it fell to the ground. I knew there was no way to get out of this, nothing but to run away. And if I did that he would fucking kill me that's for sure.
"Aria, honey, you need to eat".
I looked at my mother that sat a few places away from me and socialised with Narcissa.
I stood up and started walking away, "not hungry" I mumbled and left.

In the staircase I bumped into Draco, only dressed in sweats and his hair ruffled.
"Whoah, why you crying what's happened?". Draco asked, he stopped. I just kept on walking and wiped some tears. "For fuck's sake Aria just tell me what the fuck happened!", he shouted and ran after me up to my room.
As we entered Draco locked the door directly so that no one would bother us.
"Aria, I'm not joking. Tell me what the fuck happened down there".
I swallowed and dried my cheeks. "He's fucking mental", I said and looked in Draco's eyes. "That father of mine is fucking mental". I could not take my anger out in any way than to curse, I just did it.
Neither of us said anything. But I burst into tears again, dreading this day to go by. "Aria, for fuck's sake". Draco said and pulled me into a hug. "Tell me what he said".
And so I did, I told Draco everything that happened with Cedric in the lake, and our fathers and now this morning. To be honest, I just wished I could disappear. Just be alone, I didn't want to be with Cedric, not with Draco. Not with no one.
———
"I'm gonna fuck that man up!".
"Draco, honestly just leave it. He only gives me what I deserve". I said and walked away to my dresser. "Would you look away?".
Draco nodded and turned around, but kept on talking as I changed. "Honestly, Aria. You just had a boy here, and he breaks down over that? It's mental".
"Perhaps. But I still can't avoid him, that you know Draco". I looked out of the big window on the right side of my bed. It smelled amazingly from the grass and flowers that grew now.
———
I sat by the river, my legs in the water and my whole body shaking. The left side of my face had a big purple mark. Funny thing it almost covered exactly half of my face. Otherwise my body was extremely tired from my father only throwing the crucio curse on me all afternoon.
"Aria"
I turned around and saw two people I never though to see here, Harry and Ron.
"The bloody hell happened to you?". Asked Ronald and reached out his hand to touch my face but was stopped the second Harry pulled back his hand.
I cleared my throat, "Oh, erhm. My father wasn't quite haply about Cedric being here.. soo". It might be too much to tell them, but then it would have to be so. "Well, why are you here?" I asked.
Harry looked up, "We need to talk, and it's actually about Cedric. Something that we saw him do at the quidditch world cup".
