The Consequence Of Power

What Happens In The Shower, Stays In The Shower

He watched her leave with Severus, so many emotions flowing through his body, it was hard for him to grasp the fact he just saved her life, she would have died in front of his eyes, and he wouldn't have been able to live with himself, she was the only person who was bringing back the warm feeling inside his heart, he felt less heartless with her for some reason, the guilt of not fully hating her was slowly starting to get worse, he needed to stop before it got one of them hurt. But, her lips on his cheek made him feel butterflies and feelings he couldn't comprehend. leaving the tower, walking with his thoughts as he got to the common room, on the way he saw Granger frantically pacing "Draco, what exactly happened?" He could tell she was nervous to ask him "She tried killing herself, I pulled her off the edge. End of story" He sniffled and took a deep breath "That poor girl, Im scared for her" He nodded his head back "I need to go, just take care of her Granger" He walked away.

"Severus Im sorry," She sat at his desk, still wrapped in Draco's jacket, she never wanted to take it off, it smelt so comforting. "Rhiannon, you could have died, I would've gone mad," He leaned on his desk "I know, I don't know what I was thinking, I just feel so drained and guilty for everything"
"Talk to me," He pulled a chair next to her
"All the pure-bloods treat me like shit and I found out the Dark Lord has my parents, why wouldn't you tell me that?"
"I had no idea...I swear"
"It doesn't matter I suppose if you did know, they are probably dead by now, because of me"
"Don't say that, you will see them again" She rested her head on his shoulder, seeking comfort and warmth as she shivered "I promise you, nothing is your fault, and if it was, it's not by choice" His voice softened "I need to go Severus"
"Are you sure?" He asked "I feel better now, I'm going to take a quick shower and head to supper"
"Alright, I'm proud of you," He gave her a big hug
"Thank you Severus, next time I have you know, "thoughts", I will come to you instead" He gave her a nod, and she went to her dorm to get new clothes for the shower. "Rhiannon there you are, are you alright," Luna said, having no idea what happened "Yes Luna, I'm all better" She gave Luna a hug "I was scared you were not okay"
"I know, I'm sorry" Luna backed away "Whose jacket is that?" She asked , completely forgetting she had it on "It's Draco's, it's a long story, Im going to go take a shower, then I'll walk with you to the Great Hall" Rhiannon grabbed a knitted house crew neck, some pj shorts and socks. She hid his jacket under her pillow, walking to the showers, on the way there she was overwhelmed with thoughts about what she just tried to do, but most of all, she couldn't stop thinking about Draco and how different he seemed toward her moments ago, how much he cared for her. She never saw him so vulnerable and caring before. Upon entering the shower room, she placed her clothes on the counter, taking off the old clothes, tossing them onto the floor. She stepped into the shower, making sure it was burning hot, almost too hot, enough to make the room steamy.
She submerged herself into the water, feeling it run down every inch of her cold body. She couldn't stop thinking about Draco. Yesterday when he got into that fight for her, he was so amazing, seeing the blood run down his lip made her stomach flutter, she rubbed her hands on her body, thinking about him, slowly, she ran her hand down to her vagina, touching herself as she pictured his strong arms and how they would feel touching her. She forget about everything he had done that has hurt her, she had never wanted someone so bad before, but she knew they could never come so close as much as she needed right now. She started to moan as the water ran down on her, making it even more pleasurable. She could barely stand from her knees weakening at the thought of him, what was wrong with her? She thought, she was supposed to hate him. As she finished, feeling herself let go, trying to catch her breath, she took a few minutes to clean herself off and step out of the shower, drying off so she could get dressed. She put clothes on, walking up to the mirror, wiping the steam off of it so she could see, then out of no where, there was figure in the mirror, feeling terrified she looked back, seeing nothing there, she turned back to face the mirror still seeing it "Hello?" She wondered if she would get a response, but all she could see was a hooded tall figure standing by the door "Go away" She closed her eyes then opened them, the figure vanished. She grabbed the dirty clothes and rushed to the dorms to get Luna. She tried to not worry about what she saw in the showers. Luna was already gone so she headed to the Great Hall and sat with Hermione
"Rhiannon, you made it," Harry said "Yeah I took a shower first"
"Well, it's good you made it safely, how are you feeling?" Hermione asked with a serious tone "Fine, why?" She tried hiding her face "You know why"
"Im okay, now"
"Why, what happened?" Harry asked
"Rhiannon was having a hard time and things happened but she is alright"
"Hermione!, keep it down"
"Sorry" Rhiannon rolled her eyes and picked at her plate of food, not feeling hungry. "You need to eat," Luna poked her arm with a fork "I know, just not hungry"
"Oh great" Hermione whispered "What?" She looked up, seeing Cormac standing in front of her "Rhiannon, can I talk to you? privately"
"Seems like Malfoy got you good" Harry laughed "Shut it Harry...Rhiannon please" She looked at Hermione, she shrugged at Rhiannon "Fine" She stood up, following him out of the Great Hall "What do you want?"
"Im sorry about yesterday, can we start over?" He scratched the back of his head, not making eye contact "Are you going to get me drunk again?"
"No, I'm sorry about that, I was just trying to have a good time"
"Cormac, listen it's not going to work, me and you"
"Why not? Come on" He walked closer grabbing her arm "Don't touch me" She pulled her arm away "Sorry, can we please just try again, I promise I'll be more mature"
"Maybe we will try again another time okay"
"Am I ugly, is that it?" His tone became defensive "No, I just got a lot on my plate, that's all"
"I see how it is, well, I'll wait when you're ready then" He walked away.
