Forever and Always: Book 1 Of Always

My Biggest Fear

Rebecca PoV
      Today was a new day. My boyfriend wasn't bleeding out through his arm and I wasn't going to be stabbed my Daisy Adams.
      Draco was back to classes and I was excited since defense against the dark arts I would have with both my brother and my boyfriend.
      I hadn't seen too much of Harry and Ron since we got on the train.
      Ginny, Nicole, Hermione and I found our way into spending plenty of time together even though we haven't been back three days.
      People won't talk to Ginny much since what happened last year which isn't fair in more ways then one.
       I walked hand in hand with Draco down the hall to Professor Lupin's room and found our way to my brother.
      "Malfoy," he glared, "What is this?" He said gesturing to our interlocked hands. "You are both only thirteen and you can't keep your hands away from her Malfoy."
      I replied sarcastically, "Oh no Draco I think you caused my hand to get pregnant."
     Harry's eyes widened, "You did what?"
     I laughed and turned to my brother, "You give me depression sometimes little bro," and we walked in.
     Once class was settled, Professed Lupin began what we were tackling. Boggarts.
     "Can anyone tell me what a boggarts is?" Asked Professor Lupin.
      Hermione and my own's hands shot up.
     He called on Hermione and she gave the definition.
    Soon after he had Neville tackle the boggarts the first time in which he did well.
     We made a line, Draco in front of me, and Ron then Harry behind me.
     Many people had basic fears like spiders and snakes but I knew what mine was and I knew that I couldn't handle it.
     Draco went up and it turned into one thing that I wasn't surprised by....his father but what his father was about to do scared him more.
    Draco stood still as his "father" drew his wand and pointed it at me. He began to say the two word curse that would have took down not just me but Draco too when Draco cast Riddickilous and his father turned into a blob on the ground.
      Next I went up and there was my biggest fear standing in front of me.
      In front of me was my uncle who in front of him was my boyfriend and my brother being beaten up when both took their last breath and in front of dead Harry and Draco was me pleading for him to stop even though it was two late. Seconds later my uncle turned into Voldemort who killed them both a second time.
      I had to remind myself that it wasn't real and finally I cast the spell that finished it off.
      Soon enough Uncle Vernemort blew up like Aunt Marge had and was bouncing around the room.
      I went to the back of the line and rubbed my arms from where I had bruised cuts from one of the first days of aunt Marge's visit and Harry had pissed off Uncle Vernon.
      After class had finished and Harry was stopped, we went to the common room in which I had let Hermione, Ron, and Harry inside alongside Draco and I.
     I sat down still trying to cover up my arms.
      "Is that why you have always had random large bruises. I thought you were clumsy. I didn't  even realize that you were being a punching bag for him," questioned Harry.
      I whimpered. I hated seeing him like this.
       Draco was pacing when he suddenly looked up to me and suddenly shouted at me, "You could have confided in me. I'm your boyfriend and I know it feels to be abused."
      Ron yelled, "He's your what?"
      I ignored Ron and replied to Draco, "What do you mean you know? I know that he would smack you over the head and yell at you for ridiculous things but what do you mean you know what it's like to be abused?"
      He lifted up his sleeve and revealed small cuts and bruises.
       I gasped, "Draco, why didn't you tell me?"
       Draco's voice raised, "You have no room to talk, Rebecca. I found out alongside the rest of the class that your uncle was beating you. No wonder I've only seen you without your arms covered a few times. I'm your boyfriend and I'd like to think your best friend. Why wouldn't you tell me?"
       Ron interrupted, "He's your what again?"
       "Shut up Ron," Harry yelled, "Rebecca, why didn't you tell me? I could've took part of the beating too. I can handle it."
       "No," I cried, "I'm your older sister and I don't want you hurt at all. He already starves us. You don't need to be hurt too."
       I slammed myself on the couch and began to cry.
       I felt bad because Lupin's class was the first time I had learned anything in DADA and I had enjoyed it until I showed my face to that boggarts. Boy did I hate that boggarts.
       Harry and Draco sat down beside me on both my sides.
       I looked at them both and sobbed, "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you."
      They hugged me and Draco wiped my tears.
      I laughed, "You realize since you guys are my best friends you all will need to get along, right."
     Ron scoffed, Harry snorted, and Draco started laughing. The only one that I didn't want to wrings neck was Hermione who simply replied, "We will try."
     I rolled my eyes and smirked. Thank Merlin I have these guys.
