Silently Screaming For Help

|Chapter 84 : "Pointless"|

Glancing about the common room from the dorm steps I looked between the crowd of mixed students before quickly skittering up, darting out as quickly as I could

"Amelia" Turning my head ever so slightly I glanced over my shoulder, looking at Theodore as he followed me down the corridor and I picked up my pace, jogging up the steps. Having my arm grabbed I turned around, smacking his hand off me as I was grabbed, forced against the wall as he pressed his hands forcefully against my hips and I gripped tightly and his forearms, trying to nudge him off as he leaned forward, less than a couple of inches away

"What?"

"Why didn't you stop?"

"Did you really think I would?" I asked ludicrously as I stared at him, glancing past as people bustled up the stairs in small groups before turning back, finding him closer than he was before as I tried to shove his hands away, his grip becoming more forceful

"I did actually, yes. You should've-"

"I shouldn't have to do anything I don't want to-"

"You make it sound like I force you into doing things-"

"You pretty much do-"

"I can, just not yet-"

"And what the fuck is that meant to mean?" I hissed at him as he stayed silent, staring at me as I smacked his arms and tried to push him off me, stopping as I watched him lean forward slightly and I leaned back and away from him

"Draco!" watching him turn and look up I forced a smile onto my face as Theodore looked at me and I ignored him, looking at Draco as he stopped

"What?"

"Do you have my potions book?"

"No. Why would I have your potions book-?"

"Because I gave it to you last night, remember?" I asked, eyebrows raised as he looked at me, blinked once before glancing to Theodore, his hands and then to mine as he paused for a moment before looking back up and at me

"No"

"What?"

"I don't remember you giving me your book because you didn't. I can't remember something if it didn't happen"

"But-"

"Amelia, he said he doesn't have it. Malfoy, you can disappear now" Nott mumbled, not glancing around to Draco when talking to him as he kept his eyes on me and I watched Draco disappear, throwing a look at me over his shoulder as I looked back to Nott, being forced so brutally against the wall I felt the pain increase steadily

"What is wrong with you? I was talking to him-"

"It was a pointless conversation-"

"It wasn't-"

"It was" he muttered, cutting over me as he pressed his fingers even more forcefully into my skin and I winced, clamping my eyes shut momentarily before opening them again and successfully shoving him off and taking my chance to move away from him as I disappeared up the stairs at lightening speed, making my way into the hall and sitting down as I rubbed at my hips in pain under the table

"Amelia? I have your book...." turning around I looked at Millicent as she stood behind me, my potions book being held out to me as I took it with a quiet mumble while she sank down next to me slowly, unsure

"How come you have it?"

"Zabini had it, he told me it was left in his dorm last night"

"Oh, right. Thanks"

"Are you alright?" Turning my head I looked at her confused while she pointed to my hands that were still rubbing at my skin as I nodded, thinking quickly

"Just cramps"

"...here"

"I'm surprised you still carry these around with you" I said to her, laughing ever so slightly as I looked at the paracetamol she passed me while she shrugged

"I never took them out, they've been in there since about last year, maybe the year before...."

"Are they in date?"

"I think so...."

"Reassuring"
