Punishment- Reader POV

Chapter 4

CW: Sexual Abuse referenced, disordered eating/weight loss, underage realtionship

September 1st, 1996

My parents did not wait at the platform with me for the train to leave. They dropped me off and left in a hurry. I cannot say that I mind too much seeing as they pimped me out these past few weeks. Not even for money, not like we needed it, but for their dear friend Lucius. Draco and I boarded in silence. Things have not been the same between us. There has been a lot of tension between us but it's my fault, not his. I cannot be myself around him anymore. I don't even remember how to be myself nowadays. In the past couple of weeks, Lucius has raped me eleven more times. It was easier for him now. He'd write to my father for when he wanted me there and if he did not write and needed me urgently then he would just come over. I wasn't even safe at home. I wasn't safe in my own room. I haven't been able to sleep on my bed since he started to do it in there. We still went to the dinners and all but Narcissa was starting to get suspicious of something. I do not think she knows what is happening because I don't think this is what anyone expected. I could tell her anger towards Lucius was not easing up. She would not even look in his direction or acknowledge him when he spoke to her at dinner. She is the only one Draco has had to go to lately. I have been out of it and no help to him whatsoever. I haven't eaten dinner with my family either. We rarely had breakfast or lunch together but we always had dinner. It was the only time of the day I saw both my parents. We never really felt like a family but we always pretended but now we do not even pretend. However, everything was going to ease up, I'd be back at school and could see my best friends again and Draco and I could plan better to get him out of both his punishment and our marriage. We sat in our usual carriage on the train and I leaned against the window and rested my eyes. I could not wait to walk back into the castle again. Before I knew it the train was off. I rested my eyes for a little while until there was a knock at the door. I groan and rub my eyes when I hear the door slide open.

"Cheer up! You'd think you'd be more excited to see me. We haven't spoken in months!" I jump up at the voice.

"Valentina!" I jump up and hug her. "Oh, how I've missed you!" I hold her close. Besides Draco, Valentina is my closest friend. We have been friends since our first year, at first out of convenience since we share a dormitory but we grew super close. Both of our fathers were/are death eaters and bonded over the fact that we both hated it. The main difference between Valentina and I is that she has balls and stands up for what she believes, no matter what the consequences are. This past summer a lot had happened to her, she got kicked out of her house and disowned from her family. I do not even know where she has been living these past few months because once my father knew about where her loyalties lay I was forbidden from associating with her. "How've you been? Sorry I did not write, I couldn't my father forbid me," I say and pull back and we sit.

"Oh! I have so much to tell you!" She smiles and we both look at Draco.

"Was going to leave to talk to Harry now anyways," Draco says rolling his eyes and getting up "See you guys at the feast," he smiles and closes the door behind him.

"Sooo tell me where have you been? What have you been up to?"

"I joined the order! I've been living at the headquarters and it's been great! No more dealing with the shit my parents put me through and my god Sirius-" she stops abruptly but the grin on her face does not budge. I cannot remember the last time I saw her so happy. I do not think I ever had.

"Sirius? Sirius Black?" I try to keep up, "What about him?"

"We've been together, " she says in barely a whisper as if anyone was listening, the chatter throughout the train was loud enough to drown out the person in front of you.
