She bit her lower lip as she debated in her head whether or not to tell him. She finally came to the decision that he was a nice enough guy that she didnt' have to worry about him telling anyone "My father has abused me and raped me ever since I could remember" she says weakly 'Now he's taught my brother how to do it"

Harry gasped and looked over at her. "Are you serious?" he asked, a bit shocked. He automatically realized how dumb that question was, thinking,'No, you git. She was joking.' "That's awful." Yet again Harry proved just how accomplished he was at conversing. He wanted to smack himself in the forehead for repeatedly saying the wrong thing. "Lavender, you have to get out of there."

She looked up at him "I've tried but I can't leave my baby sister with them. My mother doesn't care what my father or brother does to me and Chris already hurts Cynthia. I just can't leave her alone but I can't get out on my own" she says softly, tears forming in her eyes "He always tracks me down"

Harry shook his head. "You have to tell someone," he said to Lavender, wondering how she could've possibly kept that a secret. And to think, all this time Harry thought he had a terrible life at the Dursleys and that just living with Malfoy was the worst experience Lavender could possibly have. Even with Voldemort Harry didn't have to put up a fight every day. This really wasn't fair.

She shook her head, staring at the water "He'll hurt me again if I tell anyone. Malfoy will hurt me if I tell anyone what he did to me" she whispers, staring at her reflection in the water. The water's reflection of her showed her just how frale and weak she seemed to be. Her eyes weren't cheerful like they use to be and her lips were now pale like the rest of her face.

Harry shook his head. "You need to tell someone who will get you away from there. Tell Dumbledore... or McGonagall. Someone. And don't worry about Malfoy. It's in his nature to be an insufferable prat." He looked at her with a soft, sad expression, studying her eyes.

"Is it in his nature to make small burns on someone's skin? Is it in his nature to crucio someone?" she asks in almost hysterical tone. She felt the tears that been welling up in her eyes fall down her cheeks rapidly, leaving behind trails on her cheeks.

Harry wouldn't put it past Draco but he decided that he probably shouldn't mention it. "I'm telling you, Lavender. You need to tell someone. Merlin, this is a school. They have to be able to help you!" he exclaimed. How could they not have noticed that she was being abused?

She shrugged, lowering her gaze "I can't tell anyone Harry. If I tell anyone then he just hurts me more" she says lifting her gaze to him "I can't let anyone know"

"But if you get help then he won't be able to hurt you anymore," he said pleadingly. He didn't understand why anyone would force themselves to live with so much pain. "If you don't get help... well then it'll only get worse for you and your sister both." She seemed to really want to protect her sister so he figured bringing her up would make her want to do it more.

She nodded silently, staring at the water. She turned her gaze to him and wrapped her arms around his slowly, hugging him tightly. "Thanks Harry...for everything" she says softly as she kept her tight hold on him.

Harry jumped a bit when she touched him but hugged her back awkwardly. He hadn't been expecting that, although she probably needed someone to talk to. "You don't have to thank me," he said, "Just talk to someone. You shouldn't have to deal with that."

"Well I was talking to someone but he said I didn't need to thank him" she says teasingly, pulling back and looking up at him. She smirked and took his wand from him, waving it around in the air "What do you want to do now?"

Harry forced a smile and grabbed his wand. "I'm serious, Lavender. Talk to Dumbledore. There isn't a better person for the job," he said with a nod.

She nodded "I'll talk to him" she says grabbing his wand and standing up, running off with it. She stopped and turned around after running a few feet "You want your wand? You'll have to catch me!" she says laughing as she ran away again.
