Innocence

Chapter 63

HARRY'S POV

"Harry!" "Harry!" I looked up and Ginny was running into the library. "Shhhh" Madam Pince said. "What's wrong Ginny?" I asked. "It's Camilla." she said. My heart stopped. I threw my books into my bag and ran. Hermione and Ron followed as we ran to Gryffindor. When I got to my dorm. Dean and Seamus were both pacing back and forth. Camilla laid on my bed and there was blood on the side of her face. "What the hell happened?" I asked. "We don't know Harry, we swear." Seamus said. "She just came stumbling in and fell. Then she like, coughed blood. She told us to get you and then she passed out." Dean said. "Ok- um- ok. Thank you. Just, can you go for a while. And don't tell anyone about this." I said. They nodded and quickly left. "Hermione, get my bag." I said. She nodded and went to my closet. I took a wet cloth and began to clean the blood off her face. Then I wiped the tears from her cheeks and started to heal her. "We have to take her to Madam Pomfrey." Ginny said. "No!" I exclaimed. "Why not?" Ron asked. "Because. If I tell any teachers, she won't tell me anymore." I said. "What?" Ron asked. "They made a deal. She'll come to him if she gets hurt but he can't tell anyone. It's not ideal but it's better than nothing." Hermione said. "Who did this?" Ginny asked. "Take a guess." I snapped. "I'm going to kill him." Ginny said. "No, none of you are even supposed to know. She's gonna kill me." I said.

CAMILLA'S POV

"No, none of you are even supposed to know. She's gonna kill me." Harry said. I opened my eyes. Giny, Ron and Hermione all stood there. "I knew you would tell them." I said weakly. "Cam!" Harry exclaimed. I nodded. "I'm fine." I said. "Why did Nathan do this? And why can't we tell anyone?" Ginny asked. "Because, it will only make things worse." I said. "I don't know. This doesn't seem smart." Hermione said. "I'm fine. Can you please just leave it alone." I said. They all looked down. "Why don't you guys go get dinner? We'll be fine." Harry said. They nodded hesitantly and left. "Cruciatus curse?" he asked. I nodded. "Cam, this is-" he started. "I know." I said. He just nodded. "I'm sorry. But he'll always win. There's no point in fighting it." I said. "One day he'll pay for this. I'll make him pay." Harry said. I smiled. "Maybe." I said.
Then I fell asleep.

TIME JUMP: 1 WEEK

NATHAN'S POV

Today was the day I put my father and I's plan in motion. OWL's start today but none of that matters. I walked to Draco's dorm and knocked on the door. He opened it as he was tying his tie. "I'm getting ready for school," he said. "I don't care." I said pushing past him to walk inside. "What do you want Nathan? I have to get to breakfast." he said. "Do you love my sister?" I asked. His face dropped. "So you do." I said smugly. "You need to leave," he said. "She loves you." I taunted. "I know," he said. "Well, not for long." I said. "Wait what?" he asked. I drew my wand and pointed it at him. "Imperio" I said. His face softened into a dazed look. "Draco, you are going to follow my orders ok?" I said. "Ok." he said calmly. "You are going to act normal." I said. "Ok." he replied. "I am going to use legilimency to give you my orders." I said. "Ok." he said. I smirked. "Very good." I said. "Here's the plan..." I told him.

CAMILLA'S POV

Today is the first day of OWL's and I'm so nervous. Hermione told me not to be but that's far easier said than done. I looked for Draco before our exams but I haven't seen him. Maybe he's sick. It's making me a bit nervous. Draco is a great student. He wouldn't miss our exams.

My exams have gone really well. All I have left is Umbridge. But first lunch. I'm starving. "How were your exams?" Ginny asked as I ate. "Pretty good. I always get nervous though." I said. She smiled. "I'm sure you did amazing." she said. "Thanks Ginny." I said. They kept talking but I got distracted. Draco walked in. I smiled as he walked over. I stood up and hugged him. "Draco, where have you been? I haven't seen you in-" I started. "I need to show you something." he said quickly. "What? But our DADA exam is in like 10 minutes." I said. "I'll be quick," he said. I nodded. "I'll see you guys there." I said. My friends nodded and I followed Draco. "Where are we going?" I asked as he led me down the halls. "You'll see." he said. "Ok, I trust you." I said.

Finally, we stopped in front of a wall. He closed his eyes and it started to shift. The Room of Requirement. Only when we went inside, it was different. It wasn't prepared for DA. It was dark. It looked almost familiar. "Draco, what's going on?" I asked. Then I felt it. The tip of his wand pressed into my back. "Draco, what are-" I started. "Don't move," he said. His voice changed. He yanked my robes off and tossed them aside. "Draco, what is this?" I asked. "Shut up." he spat. My heart started to race. He walked in front of me with his wand pointed at me. He took my wand from my waistband and tossed it aside. "Draco?" I said quietly. "Sorry," he whispered.

"Stupefy," he yelled. Then it all went dark.
