Dark Secrets
By- Jaiden

___Chapter Five___

The next morning rolled around bright and cold. Jaiden woke to find herself in the strong arms of Draco Malfoy. Moving slightly she felt his arms tightened and a soft mumble escaped his lips.

“ Where are you going so early? ” He asked sleepily.

“ I gotta get ready for class, ” She replied.

“ Why? It’s Saturday, we don’t have classes today, ” Draco said, stretching a little bit.

“ Are you serious? ” Jaiden said, “ Man my days are screwed up, ”

“ I can tell as much, ” Draco told her with a smile, standing up he turned and offered his hand.

“ Thanks, ” Jaiden said taking his hand stood up as well.

“ Um you might want to change, ” Draco said gesturing to her disheveled appearance.

“ Wha— ” She looked down and blushed, “ Oh, ”

“ It’s alright, ” Draco said, “ Go clean yourself up, ”

“ Alright, ” She said then almost ran to the bathroom for a shower, with a little bit of a red tinge still in her cheeks.

A little while later Jaiden came out of her room in clean clothes and looked refreshed. Draco was already sitting on the couch so she joined him.

“ D-do wanna talk about it, ” he asked turning to face her.

Jaiden opened her mouth to say “yes” but it didn’t can out instead she closed it and thought about it. ‘ What would happen if she told Draco what happened in the Shrieking Shack. Probably beat her again or worse kill er, she was afraid of Ron. And what was worse was Ron had stolen her virginity, which she was saving for someone special, and he torn it from her so forcefully. What if he done it again? ’

All these thoughts echoed through her mind, she looked at Draco, concern etched across his face.

“ Well… ” Draco prodded gently.

“ Not just yet, ” She said softly looking down at her hands.

“ Alright, maybe another time, ” Draco said, “ I’ve got homework, ” He stood, then turned and kissed her on the cheek, then exited to his room.

Sighing Jaiden decided to go down and get some breakfast. She exited the common room and made the short distance to the Great Hall. Just out side the doors she pulled her wand out and cast a concealment charm to hid her cuts and bruises taking a deep breath… she entered the Great Hall and took her seat at the Gryffindor table.

“ Hey Jaiden, ” Hermione greeted as she sat down.

“ Oh… hi Hermione,” Jaiden said sighing inwardly with relief.

“ Are you alright you look a little pale? ” Hermione asked with mild concern.

Jaiden opened her mouth to answer, but somebody else did for her.

“ Of course she is why wouldn’t she be, ” Ron said taking his seat next to Jaiden who gulped.

“ Hi Ron, ”Hermione said cheerily turning her attention towards Ron, “ How are you this morning, ”

“ Excellent, ” He told her smirking at Jaiden, “ And you? ”

“ Never better, ” Hermione replied, “ Hmm where’s Harry? ”

“ Right here, ” Came the reply behind them.

Turning they saw Harry and Ginny walk up and take seats next to Hermione and began to dish up their breakfast.

“ How are you two this morning? ” Ron asked.

“ Never been better, ” His red headed sister said, Harry agreed with a nod of his head.

“ Is that so, ” Ron said cheerfully, “ Well Jaiden and I must be going, ”

“ Bu— ” Jaiden started she wanted to finish her breakfast, but was cut short when she was dragged sharply out of her chair but her wrist.

Looking backwards she caught the bewildered looks of Harry, Hermione, and Ginny’s faces. Outside the Great Hall she spun her around to face him.

“ I hope you didn’t tell Malfoy about our little night last night, ” Ron said smirking at the last bit.

“ I didn’t, ” She told him.

“ Or about what you saw that night by the lake, ” Ron said savagely, raising his hand making her flinch.

“ No I didn’t, I swear please don’t hurt me again! ” Jaiden cried.

“ Good girl, ” Ron said lowering her hand, “ That was a warning of the consequences you’ll face if you tell or if you ever, EVER disobey me, ”

“ Go away and leave me alone, ” Jaiden said trying to get out of his grasp.

“ What did I just tell you, ” Ron said giving her a sharp clip to her already bruised cheek.

“ Alright, alright I understand, “ She told him through clenched teeth.

“ Very good you’re learning fast, ” Ron said grinning he dropped her wrist and walked off.

Jaiden glared at him hatred burning in her eyes, her teeth clenched so hard her jaw ached, her chest heaving in and out with ragged breaths.

“ I… Hate… You, ” Jaiden whispered, hot tears ran down her cheeks.
