Genesis Gryffindor and the Magical Orb - Book 3

What just happened?

Fred and I stayed at the pub until they made the final call for the students to return to the school. We walked back to the castle hand in hand and headed to the Great Hall. That night at dinner I noticed Draco wasn't around. I wonder where he was, I hadn't seen him all day.

After we had ate dinner we decided to head up to our common room. On our way up a arm caught me and pulled me into the ajoined corridor. It was Draco.

"Draco" He began before he pressed his hand to my mouth. I shook my head to get away his hand. "Draco what the hell is going on." I looked at his face and saw the cuts and bruises. Slowly I lifted my hand up to touch his bruises jaw. "Merlin Draco what happened?"

He looked at me his eyes full of anger. "My father made a call to the school this morning."

My eyes widened from shock. "Your father did this to you!" I squeeked.

He pressed his hand against my mouth again. "Shut up. If anyone finds out I am talking to you they will kill me."

A few voices were heard coming closer. He looked at me and pressed his hand tighter around my mouth as he pushed me into a nearby broom closet.

"What is goin on Draco?" I hissed.

"They know, my family knows that you killed Alianne and I was an accomplice. I'm suppose to kill you." I whimpered before he pressed his hand against my mouth again. "Please don't make this any more harder than it needs to be."

The voices outside the door grew louder. I recognized those voices, they belonged to Crabbe and Goyle.

"Draco please." I begged quietly.

"He said he was going to get the job done Goyle why do we have to spy on him?" Crabbe asked.

I heard the muffled sound of someone getting punched and then their voices dissipated after suggesting they check the next floor. After their voices were completely faded away I relaxed.

"I'm sorry for having to do this." Draco said.

"Draco....?"

Suddenly Draco head butt me and I fell against the wall and blacked out. When I came to I was laying on the couch in the Gryffindor Common Room and Fred was by my side holding my hand.

"Fred" I mumbled.

He pulled me against his chest and I felt my head throb a bit. Quickly I rose my hand to my head where I felt a gooseberry forming.

"Ouch!" I muttered.

Fred took my hand and lowered it before he lifted a cold press to my bump.

"That was a pretty nasty fall." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked him

"We were heading up to the common room and you were behind me. I didn't realize that you were gone until I was outside the portrait hole. I went looking for you and found you laying at the bottom of the spiral staircase at the end of the third floor corridor." He paused. "What were you doing over there?"

I closed my eyes trying to remember what happened. "I- I don't know Fred. I just remember Draco pulling me aside and then... and, and then." I looked at Fred. "Draco I think he attacked me."
