Working for Malfoy

Chapter 11: Reunited

When Malfoy appears back in his room, I turn around and look at him. He looks at me for a second before going into his bathroom and starting the shower. I just stare at the door he was behind.

Something happened while he was at Alcatraz. He looked kinda scared. He was almost limping when he walked into the bathroom and he was shaking slightly. I wasn't dumb and I was going to figure it out.

Just because I lost all my courage to stand up to people doesn't mean I have lost my title as the-brightest- witch-of-our-age. That I am sure of.

A minute later, someone banged on the door. The shower was still on so there was a possibility that Draco didn't hear the knock.

The person was getting impatient. The door then burst open and Lucius Malfoy walked in. Upon seeing me, he raised his wand.

"Crucio." He said lazily.

I screamed and fell off the window sill. After a full five minutes of nonstop torture he lifted the curse and left the room without a word.

I couldn't move. It felt like a million bricks were crushing my ribs and stomach.

I felt something warm and sticky on my chest, stomach, and waist. Right where my pant band was. It was like salt in an open wound. I didn't even know I had enough blood left in my body to shed considering how much I have lost.

I heard Draco's bathroom door open and his voice before blacking out completely.

"I don't know. I was in the shower and didn't hear anything." Draco said.

"How could you not hear her screams?. I am pretty sure they weren't very quiet." A male's voice said.

"A silencing charm." Draco sighed. "How could I be so stupid?"

"You are not stupid Draco."

I could practically sense a death glare coming from Draco.

"Oh, can she take a shower and clean up? I brought some clothes for her to use so she didn't have to use yours." The male asked.

"I don't care. She can use the body wash that's under the sink." Draco replied.

I shifted slightly and immediately regretted it. I groaned in pain.

"Hermione." I heard Draco say softly. "Are you awake?" The bed tilted slightly downward from his weight.

I opened my eyes and found that I was looking at the ceiling. To my left Draco was sitting by me and standing behind him was a boy I didn't recognize at first glance.

Out of reflex I jump into a sitting position and hug my legs to me, all the while staring at the boy with fear.

"Hermione, it's ok. Blaise isn't going to hurt you." The blonde in front of me stated. I relax a bit but not much.

"I want you to answer me honestly." I nodded. "Did my father do this to you while I was in the shower?"

My eyes welled with tears as I nodded.

"Did he use a silencing charm?"

"I don't know." I replied in a small voice as a tear escaped my eye.

"Hey, it's ok. It's not your fault." The blonde reassured me. "Lay back down so I can heal you."

I gently put my hands on his pillows and tried lifting myself up but collapsed. More tears escaped my eyes. My body hurt and I was weak.

Draco helped me lay down and made sure I was comfortable before grabbing his wand off the nightstand.

"Where does it hurt?"
