matching bruises

Harper Riddle

Last night was truly unreal. I woke up kinda late so I quickly got dress and rushed out of my dorm. Honestly, I thought what happened was a dream until I was waking into the great hall for breakfast.

Everyone was staring at me for some reason. I don't mind attention, but not when it's for a specific reason.

I slowly kept walking in with a confused face. Julia came up to me and said, "Uh who gave you that?"

"What?" I questioned being seriously lost.

"Harper it looks like you got choked or smth there's hickeys all over your neck... Gosh," Julia answered staring at my neck.

"Oh fuck," I stated then quickly putting my hand on my neck awkwardly before walking to return to my dorm to cover it up before any stupid speculations. It's not my fault I didn't look in the mirror this morning.

Then of course Draco Malfoy walked in with the same matching hickeys as mine. I put my face in my hands wanting to die at that moment. If people didn't think me and Draco were hooking up before, now they know and the fact that we're freaks was very obvious.

I quickly walked up to Draco grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the great hall.

"Draco, are you stupid?" I asked him.

"Hi good morning how'd you sleep darling? Great? Oh me too thanks for asking," He replied sarcastically.

"Not funny, we literally have matching hickeys everyone knows we're hooking up," I stated.

"That's the point. No one will go near what's mine now," He said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes, "You don't understand-he can't I mean I just.. nevermind." I was lowkey internally panicking because the dark lord specifically said nothing romantic between me and Draco was to happen and if he knew I don't know what he would do to me.

Draco began to say something but I interrupted him, "It's fine alright it's ok. Just no more hickeys in places people can see or we have to cover them at least."

I cast a makeup spell on my neck to make the hickeys hidden and then cast it on Draco's. We both walked back in trying to ignore our friends scolding us on the situation.

"Eh uh Harper, what happened to that enormous hickey you had on your neck?" Mattheo asked me laughing.

I quickly replied with a sarcastic smirk, "What must you be talking about? I honestly have no clue."

"Funny I swore I saw Malfoy with a matching bruise on his neck? I should go to the nurse I must be seeing things," Blaise added.

"Funny that is. Maybe Madam Pomfrey can give you a proper lesson on how to get girls while you're there?" Draco replied smirking while his hand was on my thigh.

"Um-excuse me," my brother from another mother said. I turned to see Harry there looking awkward as hell.

"Hey," I muttered moving Draco's firm grip off me before Harry saw it, but it was too late.

"Can we talk?" He asked me.

"Not really," I answered avoiding this whole conversation until I would be revealed and wouldn't have to deal with it. Harry didn't respond, but instead walked away.

"Damn Harp, that was hot. I don't know what Harry did, but i'm here for this side of you," Theo said.

I thought Draco would be slightly upset at that comment, but he just chuckled and returned his hand to my thigh where it was comfortable.

A couple hours later in class, I felt my arm burning where my mark was. Oh, I'm fucked.

I quickly excused myself to the nearest bathroom and apparated from there to the mansion.

"Hello Daughter," the bald man snarkily stated.

"Hello my lord," I replied trying not to make eye contact and honestly just not wanting to.

"It's been made aware to me that a certain Draco Malfoy and my own daughter have been having romantic affairs. I'm not sure if you remember, but I specifically instructed you to stay friends with the boy not for you to be a raging whore. You will not slander the Riddle name under my watch," He ordered walking closer to me.

"I'm sorry my lord. I have no feelings towards him. It's strictly physical," I answered.

"I thought I told you not to betray me didn't I? When this all goes down it's our side you want to be on my daughter," He said snarkily to me. I didn't reply.

"You need to fix this immediately. Do something by any means necessary to get the Malfoy boy off and away from you," The dark lord continued.

"I'll fix this I promise," I responded to him.

"As I am glad to hear that, a promise is not enough. I'll be back in the morning," The dark lord said.

I then heard him mutter, "Crucio" before leaving me in the room and locking the door from the outside.

I began to scream in pain as I felt like I was being stabbed all over my body. I cried and screamed and begged for it to be over. It wasn't. I called out for Draco, but his heart would never hear. I sobbed on the floor clenching my stomach in pain and I became numb. It felt like days that I was stuck like that reliving the pain again and again, but it was really only one night. One night of wounds reopening, hearts being broken, and my soul finding itself closed.
