Y-N POV

I felt my wrists burn as I wiggled them around. I drop my head down in defeat as I fail to get the rope around my wrists loose. 

"Does it hurt?" I don't look up, ignoring the wicked witch in front of me. I focused my eyes on the horrid pink carpet beneath me. "Miss Y-L-N I wouldn't have to go to these measures if you would just answer my question. I remain silent. She sighs in disappointment. "Miss Parkinson, if you could please." I wince feeling Pansys cold hands grab onto my face making me look up at Umbridge. "Would you like some tea Y-N." I clench my fist in anger hearing my name come out of her mouth. I hear the door open behind me, someone walks in making her smile widen even more, "There you are Mr Malfoy."

Draco Malfoy.

I let out a scoff as his eyes finally meet mine. I look away, instead focusing my attention on the white tea cup he held tightly. I watch as Umbridge takes the tea cup from him. She slowly places it in front of me. Steam rose from the tea cup as it waited for someone to drink it. Pansy harshly slips the rope off my wrists, both of my arms weakly fall on my lap. I quickly glance down seeing my bruised bloody wrists. "Go on, have some." My insides turned as I stared at the white tea cup in front of me. I was not going to drink that who knows what she's slipped in there. I look her in the eyes and push the tea cup towards her. She's quick to stand up before the hot tea could spill on her. Her face contorts with anger as she watches the hot tea spill onto her pink rug.

"Oops." I let out, her sharp eyes flicker up towards me, "I was skipping class. That's why I was there." I smile at her.

"Skipping class." Her words become bitter, "That against the rules Miss Y-L-N."

"Is it?" her sinister smile quickly returns as she takes a white piece of paper and writes on it. She places the paper in front of me.

'Skipping class is against the rules.'

"You see that. You'll make sure to write that exact sentence over and over until the paper is no longer blank."

"I don't have my quill." I let out accepting her punishment.

"Oh don't worry about that. Here, you can use this one." I could see Draco turn to the side as Umbridge places down one of her own quills for me to use. I'm hesitant to grab the quill. But I do... I start writing the sentence down. At first I don't understand why she keeps watching my every move. Then I do... I tighten my grip on the quill as I'm struck by horrid pain. I feel it all over my body, drops of sweat start forming on my skin as I try and resist the venomous pain. I look her in the eyes watching as she smiles at me.

Crazy bitch

DRACOS POV

I watch as she struggles to keep herself from shaking in pain. I couldn't bare it any longer. I wanted it to stop I wanted to help her.

Stop Draco you shouldn't care.

She's nothing to you.

Sweat formed on her skin with each stroke she did.  Before I could register what I was doing I set yet another cup of tea on the table for Umbridge, she smiled at me. Before she could take a sip of it I smacked the cup out of her hand making it spill all over the paper Y-N was writing on. "I apologize there was a fly inside the tea." I quickly manage to say.

"Was there?" Umbridge suspiciously looks at me.  Y-N scoots her chair back making the quill drop onto the ground. "We'll, I guess that'll have to do Miss Y-L-N." Umbridge seems slightly satisfied. "I hope this teaches you not to skip class anymore." Y-N doesn't look up at her, "Can I go now?" Her voice slightly trembles. "Of course." She slowly rises up and makes her way out of the room. I hold myself back from running after her. "Please get this cleaned Mr. Malfoy." I fake a smile before proceeding to do as I'm told.

Y-N POV

I quickly walk through the hollow halls. I focus down on my hands... tears start streaming down my face as I graze the words 'skipping class is against the rules.' With my finger making me wince in pain. I stop myself from walking as soon as I pick up on Harrys voice. I quickly hide behind the wall opposite to Harry. I watch as he walks along side Ron. They both made their way to the great hall for lunch. I keep hiding there until I watch them disappear. I let myself calm down. I didn't want him to seem me like this. I didn't want him to get into any more trouble because of me. I cover my face with my hands keeping myself from making any noise as other students made their way to the great hall. My body flinched as I felt a pair of cold hands take ahold of my hands. "Why are you hiding?" I look off to the side ignoring him.

"Y-N." my name left his mouth.I breathe in nervous at the fact he called me by my name. Draco doesn't ever do that. Most of the time he calls me by my last name. He reaches to grab my hand. I look at him as he exams the words that were carved into my skin.

"I'm sorry. It wasn't suppose to be you." I pull my hand out of his grip, "What is that suppose to mean?" I furrow my eyebrows in confusion. He looks down at the ground.

"I know that's were Dumbledores army is meeting. I keep seeing students coming in and out of that room. I told Umbridge we should ambush the first person who leaves the room and take them in for questioning." I scoff at his words

"Are you saying you'd wish you'd torture another innocent person in my place. Do you think that makes this any better." His cloudy eyes finally meet mine.

"It wasn't suppose to get to that point. The tea... it had drops of truth serum in it. You were suppose to drink that. Why didn't you just drink it?"

"So this is my fault?? That's what you're saying?"

"Just why do you have to be so stubborn. Why didn't you just give up Potters little group." He raises his voice at me, "Maybe because I actually care about other people Draco!! I'd rather get myself punished than have the people I love get punished." I push him back making him stumble. "Don't you love watching people get punished and hurt. Why did you spill the tea on me?!" He lets out a cold laugh at my question, "Just say thank you"

"So you did do it on purpose?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then what are you saying! You're not clumsy."

"Don't talk like you know me Y-N." I let out a laugh making him come closer towards me, "Fine... I might not know all of you and to be quite honest I don't want to know you at all Malfoy." Before he could say anything else I walked away from him making my way towards the great hall.

As soon as I get into the crowded room I'm met with Hermiones sweet smile. I walk towards them. Harry quickly gets up making his way towards me, "Hey where were you?? I looked everywhere for you" I fake a smile, "I was at the library." I sit down next to Hermione. Harry follows behind me sitting next to me, "Hey.. are you ok?" I hum in response. I try my best to hide my hand inside my sleeve. "Y-N." He doesn't let this go, his hands cup my face. "Your nose is all red and your eyes are puffy. Have you been crying?" I look down ignoring his question.

"Is the test getting to you? Y-N you're going to pass this exam!! Don't get stressed." I smile at him. He was so sweet.

"Ok." I reassure him I'm ok making his tense body relax. I reach out to get a piece of bread. Before I could even touch the bread Hermione grabs onto my wrist. "Y-N!!" her eyes focus on the bruises.

Shit I forgot about those marks.

"What happened!??" She screams out, "Bloody hell Y-N." Ron follows. Harry takes ahold of my other hand revealing  my other wrist. I try and take my hand away from him but Harrys strong grip stops me. "Who did this to you?" I gulp down, he freezes as he sees the words that were carved into my skin.

"Umbridge." 

"Harry—" he lifts himself up and storms towards the door.
