Trinia: Thanks so much, I do not believe that Draco was gay. I thought only Dumbledore was.

Hates Girl's Stomach Organs: Your sense of imagery is astounding, I mean your words just melt off the page…like horse shit in the sun. Thanks for the review.

Trinia and others: Thanks so much for the support, I know its been a while.

(A/N): I am looking for someone to take over this story…I've lost the inspiration. I own nothing JK Rowling somehow went into the future...stole it from brain…and went back pawning it off as her own...Very crafty that one.

Secret

Blaise Zabini struggled to clear the thoughts in his head as he entered the Great Hall for the second time that morning. Still seething, from his fight with Mia, he didn't even hear Draco's question the first two times. "What?" he finally responded, snapping out of his haze.

"Is Mia ok?" Draco asked again.

"Um, yeah, she's fine. Said that sleep would make her better, so I left her to it," Blaise lied smoothly.

"Ok, how are guys doing by the way with the whole-"

"Why won't that bloody prat keep his eyes to himself?" Blaise snarled suddenly.

Draco paused and followed his friend's line of vision to an anxious-looking Potter. "I'm sure he's just worried about Mia, he is her friend too." The blonde noticed however that Blaise didn't even respond, but continued glaring at the Golden Boy.

A gaunt figure as hot water sprayed into her cuts. Red streams mixed with the steaming water as it swirled into the drain. Blank blue eyes stared unseeing at the shower wall, while the young girl painfully washed herself from head to toe. Slipping on a robe she stumbled into her empty dorm room and fell into bed. After closing the curtains, she fought sleep tooth and nail, but still succumbed to it.

Severus paced his dungeon classroom, peering into his student's cauldrons. He had ordered them to make several different healing potions and salves because Poppy was out. The Potions Master spotted the empty seat next to Draco and asked the blonde where Mia was.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since breakfast. She didn't come to lunch, but she did say earlier that she wasn't feeling we—"

The sound of the door slamming open interrupted, causing everyone to look at the source of the disturbance.

"Ms. Burke, you are an hour for class, stay after class for a quick word," he barked, softening his tone by the end after she flinched.

Mia bit her lip, allowing her hair to fall into her eyes as she quickly went to her seat and mumbled, "Yes sir, sorry sir."

Returning to his own desk, Severus assessed her discreetly. He watched Draco quietly talk to her, probably assessing her health. Now that he looked at her, she did seem paler than normal; thinner too, well more than she was when she arrived a month ago.

Severus watched as his students filed out and didn't miss Blaise and Draco hovering near the door to his class. "Good day gentlemen," he smirked before shutting the door in their faces with a wave of his wand.

Mia jumped at the sudden noise, but made an effort to appear fine. "Yes Professor Snape?"

"Your not in trouble Mia, Severus assured with a smile. "I thought you may like to have dinner so we can discuss how it has been for you here so far."

Mia felt a wave of panic sweep across her featured and struggled to regain her blank face, but it was too late.

Severus Snape was not ignorant; the spy in him had spotted the flash of emotion and immediately stopped smiling. "Mia is everything okay?"

Mia blinked rapidly and was surprised as tears flowed from her eyes. She reached up and gathered the wetness and stared at it in amazement and anger. She was angry at God for everything, for making this happen to her. She was mad at herself for not seeing the signs she should have from her first encounter with Blaise. He had touched and treated her just like Mark: kind and sweet until his true motives come into light. 'Maybe all men are alike,' Mia thought to herself, they just want to posses and then fuck you.

Snape was beyond worried now, Mia had collapsed on the floor, crying as if her soul had been wrenched out and eaten in front of her. He kneeled down and stared into her eyes and tried to read her thoughts. Unlike the first time, Mia seemed to welcome him into her mind and she revealed all of her memories into his head.

Severus stumbled back in surprise after he watched it all and struggled to speak as Mia shakingly stood. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show you all of it," she whispered. "But I needed to tell you because I know you'll help me."
