The Dark Lord's Daughter

Secrets are Told

"Let's just say that Zabini might want to know that his little girlfriend isn't a virgin," Mike said.

"Ho-how did find that out?" I asked not moving and look like I had just been slapped in the face.

"I have my sources."

"Who?"

"Maybe it was the person you fucked," Mike said enraged.

"I'll kill him, he promised me he wouldn't tell a soul, and we were friends, that fucking asshole lied to me," I said getting even angry than I had been at Mike not long after I had caught him cheating on me.

"Did you happen to forget that we were best friends, before I went out with you so in other words he would have told me that he fucked you and I knew that the whole time we were going out and that just pissed me off that you would go and fuck him even though the two of you weren't going out or that you had never even gone out with him, and then you wouldn't even fuck me after we had been going out for three weeks. I couldn't take it and that's why I cheated on you," Mike said trying to make it sound like he had no choice.

"The whole reason I didn't want to fuck you was because then that would be the only thing that our relationship would be about and I didn't want that," I said.

"Well guess it wouldn't have just been about sex," Mike said.

"Yeah like I can believe that you fucking cheated on me for a month, so that just shows me how much you really depend on sex. Even if I do forgive you it would be too late because I have a boyfriend, now," I said, "Now that we are done talking about why you cheated on me, I am going to go now since I have plans later on tonight with my boyfriend."

"Yeah whatever," Mike said walking out of the closet.

I looked out and made sure no one was insight before I left the broom closet.

"Fucking bastard thought that was a good reason to fucking cheat on me and basically asks me to forgive him," I mumbled to myself on my way to the Common Room.

"What's that Paige?" Ashley asked walking up to me.

"Nothing just something Mike said," I said dully.

"What did he say?" Ashley asked walking down the corridor with me.

"That he knew that I... I'll tell you in my room," I said looking around the corridor.

When we got to my dorm Ashley asked, "So what did he say?"

"He said that he knew that I was a virgin," I said.

"What do you mean you're not a virgin?" Ashley asked looking at me confused.

"I mean that I fucked someone before I went out with Mike," I said.

"And why didn't you tell me when you lost your virginity, huh, tell me," Ashley said.

"Because at the time you weren't at Salem and you were so infatuated with your boyfriend at the time it wouldn't have matter what I said and by the time you had broken up with him I had completely forgotten all about it. Since you do realize I didn't think about it all the time," I said.

"And when did you lose it?" Ashley asked looking at me with that look of disbelief on her face.

"I think it was a couple of months before I went out with Mike," I said.

"Who was it?"

"I don't want to talk about this anymore, and anyways I have to meet with Blaise," I said walking to my door (In fact I never wanted to discuss who it was with her. She would have been overly pissed off at me. I don't care how many times she tells me she has no feelings for the guy. It was the first guy she ever fell in love with so can you blame me for not wanting to tell her?).

"Well you will tell me later right?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah I will, but I have to go now," I said rushing out the door. Hopefully she forgets about it and I won't have to tell her who it was.

I walked through the Common Room and over to the boys' dorm. When I got to Blaise's door I knocked. Blaise opened the door.

So I take it you now know where we will be hanging out tonight? Blaise asked without so much as a hello.

"Well hello to you, too. Yes I know where we will be tonight," I said.

"Well tell me then," Blaise said walking up to me.

"Not until you say hello to me," I said walking past him and into his room.

"Hello, now can you tell me?" he asked shutting the door.

"Well I thought that we could hang out in the Astronomy Tower like planned. I mean Ashley did think this all out and I think she would be mad if we didn't go."

"Fine even though I wanted you to pick the other one," Blaise said walking towards his door, "We going now?"

"God, Blaise just drop it already or I am going to leave and we aren't going to the Astronomy Tower or doing anything tonight, and I guess we are going to leave now," I said standing up and walking towards the door and him.

We left his dorm and headed through the Common Room to head to the Astronomy Tower. On our way there we heard a noise in the corridor, so we hid in the shadows waiting for whatever had made that noise to go by but nobody went by.

"Did you hear that?" Blaise asked whispering.

"Yeah, what was it?" I whispered back.

"Don't know," Blaise whispered, "You do realize the predicament that we are in now, don't you?"

"Yeah," I said as he started to kiss my neck. We heard a noise that caused us to stop what we were in the middle of doing. I am going to find out who just interrupted us and then have them tortured until they wished that they were dead. "What the..."

Blaise put a hand over my mouth, and pulled me down the corridor. When we had gone a ways down the corridor, we walked on near the side of the corridor but not as close to the wall as we had been before. When we finally reached our destination, Blaise pulled something out of his robes and transfigured it into a couch.

"Well now aren't we Mister Handy?" I said moving towards the couch and pulling Blaise with me. When we reached the couch I sat down on the couch and pulled him down on top of me. Blaise and I continued what we were doing in the corridor a few minutes earlier. All of a sudden there was a noise over by the door.

"What the fuck!?" I said pushing Blaise up and looked over at the door, "Who's there?"

When no one answered Blaise stood up and walked towards the door. There was some muffled talking going on by the door. Blaise walked back towards me and sat down next to me.

"Do you have anything to tell me?" he asked looking over at me.

"I am not sure what you mean?" I asked looking at him confused, "Who was that you were talking to just then?"

"It was Mike and he said you had something you wanted to tell me," Blaise said watching for my reaction on what he had just said.

"Well...I...I...," I said stuttering, I stood up quickly and took off out the door. I somehow made my way back towards the Common Room, before I walked into the Common Room I caught my breath and then walked in. I walked straight through the Common Room not stopping to talk to anyone and to my dorm. I sat down on my bed and started to think about what had just happened. Why did Mike have to do that? Blaise and I were having such a good time. Of course why would Mike want me happy if I am not with him? Well I hope Blaise won't be mad at me for running away and I hope he understands why I ran away from him. I just hope Mike doesn't tell him. I sat there contemplating what I would tell Blaise when I saw him again. Someone knocked on my door (or rather two someones).

"Who there?" I asked getting off of the bed and walking towards the door.

"It's Ashley and Danielle can we come in?" Ashley asked.

"Yea whatever," I said opening the door and letting them in.

"What's wrong and where did Blaise go, I didn't see him come into the Common Room with you," Danielle said walking in and sat on the chair over by my desk.

"Mike..." I said while I was walking toward my bed, I didn't want to say anything more with Danielle in the room since she didn't know about me not being a virgin and since I hadn't known her that long and she was Blaise's cousin after all.

As if sensing that I wouldn't say anything with her in the room Danielle said, "I have to go help my friend with some of her homework that is due tomorrow," she said standing up and walking towards the door. She opened the door and walked out and shut it behind her.

"What about Mike?" Ashley asked after the door had closed.

"Ummm... Well as you know Blaise and I went to the Astronomy Tower tonight. Well I think he might have followed us up there. We had been making out for awhile and then I heard something over by the door. Well Blaise got up to find out what was the cause of the noise. Well it turned out to be Mike. He told Blaise that I had something I wanted to tell him. Well I started to but I just couldn't say anything so I took off and here I am now. I don't know if Mike said anything to him or not," I said lying back down on my bed.

"If you want I can see if Blaise came back yet?" Ashley asked.

"Yea that would be great," I said sitting up in the bed.

"Alright, I will be right back," Ashley said walking out the door.

It was a few minutes later when Ashley came back.

"He hasn't come back yet," Ashley announced when she came back.

"Do you think Mike told him and that's the reason why he hasn't come back yet," I said starting to sound paranoid.

"Calm down, I don't think Blaise is going to get mad at you for not telling him, but if Mike didn't tell him I just hope he doesn't think that you are cheating on hi with Mike," Ashley said coming to sit in the chair that had been occupied by Danielle.

"Well what happens if he does think that, then what do I do?" I asked near tears.

"We'll just have to convince him that you aren't and that you never would cheat on him with that idiot," Ashley said getting out of the chair and walking over to me and tried to comfort me.

"If he thinks that I don't know what I would do," I said starting to cry.

"I am sure he doesn't think that, so don't get yourself so worked up for nothing," Ashley said hugging me.

"Could you go see if Blaise is back now?" I asked wiping the tears away.

"Why don't you come with me?" Ashley asked pulling me up off the bed.

"You want me to walk out of the room looking like this?" I asked indicating my tear stained face.

"Yeah, you're right, they'll be wondering what the hell happened to you," Ashley said taking her wand out and muttered a spell under her breath.

"Thanks," I said looking at the mirror and then grabbed Ashley and pulled her out of the door.

"Well someone is in a hurry to find out if Blaise is back or not," Ashley said getting her arm out of my grasp and she walked behind me.

When we got to the Common Room we didn't see Blaise but we did see Draco. I walked straight towards him with Ashley at my heels. When we got reached him, he turned around and looked at Ashley and me.

"And what brings you here, Paige?" Draco asked looking from me to Ashley and then back to me.

"Well I just wanted to know if you had seen Blaise come in," I said looking at him and waited for an answer, "Have you?"

"As a matter of fact I did you just missed him, he looked a little confused when he walked into the Common Room though," Draco said with a look that said he had no idea why Blaise had looked like he did, "Something really odd must have happened for him to look like that. Do you know anything about it?"

"No," I said quickly.

"So where is he if I just missed him?" I asked after a paused and looked around the Common Room as if I was expecting to see him sitting in one of the chairs.

"He said he was going to his dorm, because I think he had some things to think about, don't know why though," Draco said looking at me oddly but I ignored it.

"Ok did he say by any chance what it was about?"

"He was kind of mumbling... And what is this, twenty questions?" Draco asked looking at me with a suspicious look on his face.

"Come on Ash, let's go, I got my question answered, unless of course you have any for him," I said looking over at her.

"I do actually, did Blaise look kinda pissed off when he came in?" Ashley asked watching Draco closely.

"Not really he just looked confused, and stop with all these questions," Draco said angrily.

"Ok Ash and me need to go anyways," I said walking towards the boys' dorms, "You don't have to come with me Ash if you don't want to."

"Okay, I will go talk to that Danielle girl she seemed pretty nice and that will leave you alone with Blaise to tell him the truth and that way you two won't feel embarrassed with me in there with you. Just tell me what happens tomorrow," Ashley said walking back towards the girls' dormitory.

"Alright I'll tell you tomorrow," I said then continued on my way to Blaise's dorm. When I got there I knocked on the door and then opened it to see that Blaise was pacing around his room thinking. "Blaise, I have something to tell you," I said walking into his room and shutting the door behind me.

"Well I hope this has something to do with what happened in the Astronomy Tower and what Mike meant by saying that you had something to tell me," Blaise said looking over at me expectantly (he had stopped pacing and now stood over by his bed).

"Yes it does have something to do with tonight," I said walking towards the chair by his desk so that I could sit down.

"Come on tell me what it is, and you better not be telling me that you are cheating on me," Blaise said still standing in his position by the bed.

"Ok, well I am not cheating on you with anyone," I said, "and why would you think that?"

"Because you won't tell me what the hell it is god when you ran out of there tonight when Mike told me that. I thought you had been cheating on me with him r one of his friends," Blaise said.

"I would never cheat on you let alone with Mike or one of his sleazy ass friends. Now I don't think I have any reasons to tell you what I was going to and I am leaving now, so goodbye," I said getting up from the chair and walked over to the door, but I never got the chance to open the door, due to the fact that Blaise had grabbed my arm, "let me go, I am not going to stay in here if you are going to accuse me of cheating on you," I said somewhat attempting to get away from him but not putting very much effort in to it.

"Alright, alright, I won't accuse you of anything, so come on sit back down and tell me," Blaise said pulling me back to the chair, "Come sit down and tell me."

"Fine, but I don't think it's that important," I said sitting in the chair, looking at my hands (which I had folded in my lap).

"Anything involving you is important," Blaise said walking over to me and lifting my chin up.

"Well that's sweet and all, but now I don't really want to tell," I said looking into his eyes.

"Come on just tell me I am not going to get mad at you or anything," Blaise said with his fingers still holding my chin up.

"First let me ask you something," I said now not looking at him.

"Go ahead."

"Well would you go out with someone who has or hasn't had sex?" I asked looking at him and biting my bottom lip in nervousness.

"Paige, I don't care about that, it's you that I care about," Blaise said pulling my face closer to his, he kissed me full on in a loving fashion.

I wish I would just tell him, especially since he said he didn't care. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that night. I left not that long afterwards and went straight to bed. In the morning after I had gotten ready I headed to the Great Hall.

"So what took you so long last night?" Ashley asked after I sat down, "Did you have fun last night?"

"Ash?! All we did was talk," I said looking at her scandalized.

"Yea okay I stayed up until one or so and you still hadn't come back yet. So when did you finally get back?" Ashley asked.

"I must have come back after you had just fallen asleep," I said not looking at her.

"Fine don't tell me then."

"I'm telling you the truth, nothing happened. We just talked and that's all that happened," I said.

"Alright."

When breakfast was over I went to the lake and sat down under one of the many trees. Not long afterwards Blaise came out of the castle looking for me.

"Hey, why are you out here?" Blaise asked sitting down next to me.

"I just wanted to come out here to get away from all those people. You know what I mean I kinda just want to think about all that has happened so far this year," I said leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, just don't lat any of the other Slytherins hear you say that, or else they might like you're soft," Blaise said putting his arm around my shoulder.

"I know we aren't suppose to show any feelings, but I can't help it. I wasn't brought up to hide my feelings so it isn't that easy, I can hide them when it is necessary though."

"I know you're not used to hiding them all the time, eventually you'll get the hang of it."

"How much longer is it until Winter Break?" I asked lifting my head up off his shoulder and looked at him.

"In a month or less, why?"

"My father told me that I was to learn about something when I meet him next."

"Oh." We sat there in silence for a few minutes before Blaise said, "Looks like it's going to rain. We better get in before it does."

"Alright," I said standing up and walked back to the castle with him.

Before I knew it I was packing to go home for Christmas Break.

"Hope you guys have a great Christmas," I said walking out of the dorms to go on the train. When I got to the Great Hall I grabbed some food and found Blaise. When it was time to get on the train, we found Draco and walked over to the carriages that would take us to the Hogsmeade station. We got on the train and found an empty compartment.

"So do either of you two know what my father has to tell me when we get home?" I asked looking at both of them in turn.

"Err...We're not allowed to tell you what it is about, but we do know" Draco said.

"What is it then?"

"We can't tell you, listen to me next time I talk and then you would know," Draco said.

"You can't even give me a hint about it?"

"No, we can't, so stop asking, please," Blaise said.

"Fine don't tell me then. See if I ever tell you a damn thing again," I said crossing my arms over my chest and looked out the window (I was sitting right next to the window).

"Come on, Paige, don't get mad at me. I don't want to keep this from you, but we did promise your father that we wouldn't tell you, or give you any hints as to what is all about. But if it was up to me I would tell you," Blaise said putting his arm around my shoulder and pulling me towards him.

"Whatever. I just want to know why I am the last one to know anything," I said putting my head on Blaise shoulder.

"It could be because of the fact that your father has never had to raise a child before, so he probably doesn't think that you need to know about things as soon as the rest of us do, but you do have to forgive him. Her thought he had lost you forever when my Aunt had kidnapped you and taken you to the States with her. So do try to be nicer to him and more understanding of him," Draco said looking straight at me, I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was keeping something from me.

I didn't answer Draco and wouldn't talk to him for the rest of the train ride. I snuggled closer to Blaise and fell asleep with my head still on his shoulder. The train was slowing down by the time I woke up. Draco wasn't in the compartment anymore.

"Where'd Draco go?" I asked Blaise groggily.

"He told me that he had something to do before the train stopped, but he has been gone for over an hour now. I was wondering what was taking him so long, though," Blaise said looking at me and then the door to the compartment.

The door to the compartment opened and Draco walked in not looking like his usual self.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked him once he had fully walked into the compartment.

"Nothing, and I thought you were mad at me and not talking to me," Draco said, "I came to tell you that the train is stopping."

"Well maybe I want to talk to you now," I said walking out of the compartment.

When we got back to the Manor I went straight up to my room. I found a letter on my desk addressed to my adoptive mother. I walked over to it and opened it, it read:

Dear Anna,

If anything should happen to me I want you to take my babies and raise them as your own children. I also need you to lay low for awhile with the children, please do protect them. At this time I can not tell you the name of the father now, but I don't want my children to follow in his footsteps that is why I am not leaving them in the care of Lucius.

Your sister,

Bethany

My mother was a Malfoy. That means I am a Malfoy and that my father lied to me. I wonder what else he has lied to me about. After a couple of minutes of pondering over the letter I walked over to Draco's room.

"your father said that he will be talking to us after dinner about that he wanted to talk to you about," Draco said after opening his door and walking out of his room.

"And its dinner time isn't it?" I asked following him down the hallway.

"Yeah it is did you forget?"

"Yes I did, is Blaise coming to dinner?" I asked now walking next to Draco.

"He is and will be staying the night in one of the guest rooms," Draco said walking down the stairs.

When we reached the entrance to the dining room I saw that my Uncle was sitting at the table. Blaise was also at the table, when he saw me walk in he got up and pulled the chair next to him out for me.

"Thank you," I said after I had sat down.

"How was the first part of the school year son?" Uncle Lucius asked.

"The same as always," Draco said sitting down.

"What about you, Paige?" he asked looking over at me.

"It's had its ups and downs, but other then that fine," I said placing my napkin in my lap.

"That's good," my father said.

After that we ate pretty much in silence. Dinner was coming to a close when my father said, "I will be discussing this news I told you about in Lucius's study. So if you please do start walking there now," it was more of an order then a request.

We got up and started walking there. When we arrived I went and sat down in the middle seat (there were three seats in the front of the desk). Draco sat on my left and Blaise on my right.

"This discussion has to do with your future," my father said to me after he had sat down behind the desk.

"And that would be what, might I ask?" I said looking at him with confusion in my eyes.

"It would be about who I have planned for you to marry at the end of your seventh year," he said still looking over at me.

"Okay, and who is it that I will have to be marrying in about a year and a half?" I asked wondering why Blaise and Draco needed to be in the room if that was the reason.

"Well you will be marrying..."
