Draco Malfoy

Crucio

Umbridge sat Harry down in a chair, questioning him about where we were about to go. A crowd of students stood around us as Harry was being interrogated.

Draco then walked it with another student as he said he caught them trying to help a weasly. I giggled but soon stopped as Umbridge gave me a nasty look. She started to ask Harry if we were going to see Dumbledore, and when Harry wouldn't tell her, she slapped him, making us all flinch. "Are you crazy!?" I blurted out, filling the silence.

Umbridge didn't take her attention off of Harry as I said that, but she did when Snape walked in. She asked him for some truth serum, but he didn't have any, and then he walked away.

"Maybe if I use the Cruciatus Curse on you, then you will tell me where you were going." I stepped out in front of the crowd and looked her dead in the eye. "You can't do that. It's illegal, and you are crazy!" She turned her body to me and gave me her wicked smile before lifting her arm and pointing her wand towards me. 

"I am sick and tired of your attitude! Crucio!" She said and hit me with the Curse. I fell to the ground as everyone gasped behind me. "Stop it, you're hurting her!" Hermione whined, but that didn't seem to stop Umbridge. It just made her keep the Curse on me.

The pain of the Curse became so unbearable that I hurled up in a ball, screaming and crying. "STOP!" Draco yelled before pulling his wand out. "STOP HURTING HER!" He casted a spell on her, which made her go flying back and stop the Cruciatus Curse on me.

Draco rushed up to me and dropped his wand as he grabbed my face. "It's okay, Darling, you're okay." I sat up and wrapped my arms around him as he comforted me. Draco wrapped his arms around me as well and dug his face into my hair. Everyone stopped and stared at us as our relationship had been a somewhat secret from the public.

Hermione grunted before she grabbed Harry and walked up to Umbridge. I saw them leave with her before Draco pulled away from the hug and put my attention onto him. He grabbed my face and wiped my tears. "Do you want to go to the lake?" He asked with a soft voice. I quickly nodded before Draco grabbed his wand from the floor and walked with me to the black lake.

I sat down against a tree as I stared at the water. Draco sat down next to me and grabbed my hand. "I suppose our relationship is not a secret anymore." Draco said with a chuckle, I then looked at him and smiled. "I thought you would be upset about that." I said as his soft smile grew wider. "Well, as long as my father doesn't know, then we are good."

"Why is it so bad if your father knows?" Dracos smiled then dropped before he looked out towards the lake as well. "He doesn't like muggle borns." I kissed Dracos' cheek and laid my head onto his shoulder. "That's too bad, I would have loved to meet your parents."

"You still can. You just have to make up a different last name, like Harper or something." I looked up at him with a smile. "Are you saying I could meet your parents?" He wrapped his arm around my neck and smiled."Yeah, I met yours, now you can meet mine." I bounced up and down with excitement as Draco chuckled. I did want to meet his parents. "Can I also see your room?" I asked, still full of excitement. "Yeah, sure." Yay!

I looked up at Draco, who was still looking at the lake, and put my hand on his face, directing his attention towards me. "I love you, Malfoy." I said as I pressed my lips onto his. Suddenly, I heard yelling coming from the forbidden forest that we weren't too far away from.

I pulled away from Draco and looked towards where the sound was coming from. "Do you hear that?" I said as I got up and walked towards the sound. "Grace! Where are you going?" Draco asked as he got up and walked towards me. "Wait, doesn't that yelling sound like... Umbridge?" I said as Draco put his hand on my shoulder. "It does."

I soon saw Hermione and Harry running out of the forbidden forest and onto the bridge where they met up with Ron and some others from the secret defense against the dark arts classes. "It's Hermione!" I said before I took off running to the bridge.

"Hermione!" I said out of breath as I ran up to her. "Grace! Are you okay!?" She gave me a tight hug and pulled away. "I didn't expect Umbridge to actually use that curse on you." I felt a hand on my back as Hermione looked behind me, I then looked back as well and saw Draco.

Hermione walked up to Draco and gave him a stern look. "Thank you for helping Grace." She said roughly as she hated being nice to him. "Guys! We have to save Sirius!" Harry yelled as he started to walk off. "Where are you guys going?"

"To the ministry of magic, are you coming?" Hermione said. "Yeah, sure." Draco then gave me a concerned look. "What!" He said as he grabbed my arm. "That's dangerous!" He said, looking down at me. "I will be fine!"

Hermione grabbed me and pulled me away from Draco as they headed to some animals called Thestrals. I sat on one with Harry, I sat on the front as Harry sat behind me. As we started flying, Harry wrapped his arms around my waist as I held onto the Thestral.
