I'm Y/N POV
My heels clicked sharply against the stone floor of the corridor, each step echoing in the darkened hall. The muffled conversation of students drifted through the air, fragments of words spiking my curiosity.
"Oh my god, have you heard?"
"No way!"
"That can't be true!"
I caught snippets of what they were saying, but none of it piqued my interest. It was probably just another rumor about Draco's parents being Death Eaters—what else could it be? Little did they know, mine were too. The secret was a burden that I was forced to conceal.
I glanced at my reflection in a nearby window: red and puffy eyes stared back at me. I had been crying earlier, but the tears had dried.
As I continued walking down the hallway, some student shot me confused looks, while others were simply laughing at the sight of me. I ignored them and continued to walk towards my dormitory.
However, just as I turned to head up the stairs, a cold hand grabbed my forearm. I jumped and turned around—becoming face to face with the tall blonde boy, who looked more pale than ever before.
"What do you want?" I stammered, slightly scared since he was grabbing my arm fairly tightly.
"You need to come with me." He said sternly.
"I'm not coming with you." I said, yanking my arm away from his grasp and crossing them.
"You don't have a choice." He said, grabbing my arm once again. This time, he began to walk with me in his grasp.
"What the hell, Malfoy?! Let go of me!" I yelled, trying to wiggle my way out of his tight hold.
He stopped walking and shot his head towards me in fury. I was so horribly frightened by just his gaze. He pushed me up against the wall, grabbing the collar of my shirt.
"Listen, Clearwater. You need to shut up before we both get caught. Your parents told me to bring you with me so we would both get rewarded by the Dark Lord. I didn't want you here but they forced me to bring you. If you don't do what I say, then you'll have to face the consequences. Now shut up and follow me." He said, grabbing me once again and forcing me to walk.
