Falling for the serpent •D. MALFOY•

Dracos secret

Scarlett walked into the great hall. She knew how there was a lot of talk over the tournament and she was worried. She knew how her dad was worried and she knew that he wasnt telling her what was going on

Scarlett sat at the gryffindor table next to the Weasley twins "what's up with malfoy" they asked as Scarlett shrugged

"Well your friends with him" Fred said as she looked to him and sighed

"And I am trying to eat here? I dint know I think that there is some stuff going down at home. Look just because I am Friends with him downer mean I know everything. He is going through a lot oaky" Scarlett said

She looked to Draco as they made eye contact. He smiled to her as she nodded. She knew that there was stuff going on with him and Scarlett knew that the dark mark had been seen at the World Cup and it made her feel anxious

Scarlett ate her breakfast and sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. She knew how none of it was easy and she knew how she was trying. She was trying to make things work and it wasnt easy

Scarlett finished breakfast and sighed as she looked to him. She walked out of the great hall and looked to see a letter off of Remus. She read through it and sighed. She knew that there was more going on in the outside of Hogwarts then Remus was letting on and she was worried over it all

Scarlett placed the letter that she was reading on the inside of her robes "hey Scarlett" she heard someone say as she turned around and smiled as she saw Pansy Parkinson walking towards her

She knew that despite their differences they never had a problem with each other

"Are you okay" Pansy asked as Scarlett smiled

"I guess things are hard that's all" Scarlett said

Scarlett sat in class and looked to see Draco as he sat next to her and smiled "are you okay" she asked as he smiled

"Things are hard. I don't want to talk over it" he said as she nodded. She looked to see snape as he walked into the potion classroom and sighed

She knew that doubles potion was the last thing on her mind "lupin, have you done your essay" he asked

"Obviously" she said as he nodded. Scarlett wasn't stupid she knew that since last year when her father was a professor that snape had fine nothing but try and humiliate her and it got under her skin

Draco placed a hand on top of hers and smiled as he looked to her "don't let him get to you. He's a bully" Draco said as she looked to him and smiled

Scarlett walked over to where Draco was as he sat by the black lake and sighed

"So do you want to tell me what is going on"

"Just a fight with father. He called me back to the manor" Draco said as she looked to him and frowned

"It's happening again. I thought it stopped the abuse" Scarlett said as Draco looked to her and shrugged. Scarlett took a hold of his hand and smiled as she looked to him and smiled

"You can't keep this hidden anymore in your friend Draco and your father is a monster and you just tell your mother" Scarlett said

"You don't get it my family isn't like yours. This is my family and you have to keep this quiet" Draco said as Scarlett looked to him and sighed unaware of how everything was about to change
