The Secret Slytherin Queen

25- I'll show you mine if you show me yours

You tend to forget who is next to you in the face of fear. You blur the lines between your feelings and reality.

Dani's POV

"Let's go get lunch and something to clean your face up love." Pansy hurried to me, pulling a tissue out of her bag. We all walked to the closest pub. The Three Broomsticks. Our usual spot. We walked in. It was extremely crowded, noisy, warm and smoky. "Let's go to the bathroom." She urged me. "Um can you guys go sit somewhere?" I asked feeling dazed. "Yes go clean up." Nott nodded. Lorenzo kept his eyes on me, I felt my blood get cold. It was a stare I knew.

The stare of an evil promise. A promise he made when he left me on the floor of that dark place. I knew that look. He would expose me, but when was the pressing question. We walked in the bathroom. It wasn't crowded, surprisingly. Pansy locked the main door so no one would come in. She grabbed a tissue wet it with some water and started to clean up my face. "Ahh" I winced. "Stop it. I have to clean it. Now tell me what really happened." She looked at me. She knew I lied earlier. I looked away. I couldn't tell her. She knew my father was out of the picture. Yet she had no idea who he was.

"Family drama." I whispered. She stopped patting my forehead and cheek. She crossed her arms. "That's all I get? I mean sure I've been an utter pest in your life and we haven't been on our best behavior; but so have you." She pointed her finger at me and we both giggled. I missed this side of her. "But nevertheless I'll always be your friend." She furrowed her eyebrows and looked up at me pleading with her eyes for more information. I couldn't say it. This was better. It was better for her not to know. They couldn't hurt her. Maybe Lorenzo was right. I should stay away from her.

"I know I just didn't want to say it earlier and it's just a lot happening. Give me some time to process? And I'll tell you everything." I smiled as earnestly as possible. She nodded. "How are things between you and Lorenzo?" I changed the subject.

I let her continue her dabbing the paper on my face. He eyebrows raised in sarcasm. "Well we are not working out. He's completely shut down. Like it never happened and we never dated. It's strange. But I don't blame him. I also do. I don't know. It's a lot to process. Don't you agree?" She muttered annoyed. I simply nodded.

What was there to say? Oh your boyfriend knows I'm a Death Eater? Or he's a mean prick? I could only nod.

I looked up at my face. I had a fat, diagonal scratch from the middle of my forehead to the outer side of my right eye and a rug burn-looking scratch on the same side on my cheek. "Yikes, that's ugly." My eyes went wide. She shook her head. "We will have Neville get us the proper herbs. Or even Hermione, Draco's little pet. She's a know it all. She knows everything."

I eyed her annoyed. "You mean almost everything?" I raised my eyebrow. "Of course." She laughed, and I joined in.

We walked out of the bathroom. Lorenzo whispered in Nott's ear something. Something that made me feel it was bad. It made the pit in my stomach grow. Nott's face got angry. I stopped in my position. I felt like fleeing. "What's wrong?" Pansy asked obliviously.

"I Um..." I didn't know what to say. He made a straight line towards us. Where was Riddle? My eyes searched for him. How convenient. He was gone.

"Dani a moment." He motioned Pansy to get out of the way. She looked at me I just stood there. He grabbed my arm and dragged me again into the bathroom shutting the door and locking it. Clearly I was staying in the bathroom for a while.

"Well this is a turn of events." I said sarcastically trying to hide how uncomfortable I was. He paced and a sinister smile grew on his face.

He pushed me on the wall his hand on both side of my head. Trapped. Where we going to make-out? Fight? Talk? Too many signals were being sent.   "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." He got closer and smirked. What? I was not getting naked. What was it with men and me? Always sex.
