Harry turned when when Malfoy grabbed his arm gripping it really hard making him wince in pain. He never expected Malfoy to grab his arms, punch him yes, but not go for the main source of his pain. Pain shot out making him remember in an instant how he came across it and then it burned worse when he refused to admit he was lying. Since he wasn't. Not responding back to Malfoy's comments since he was quite distracted with more than one thing right now. Harry tried to get Malfoy to loosen his grip or to let go "Let me go, Malfoy" Harry tried to push the blonde back, but it didn't work. The pain was stronger than his own strength showed to be and that was his downfall. His anger was gone now.

When Malfoy shook his arm increasing the pain, Harry dropped to his knees clenching the fist of the arm that was being held with a death grip, and held onto his arm with the other hand. Something hit the floor of the dusty old with a small little plop that would be had to hear, and it was...soft. A single tear slid off Harry's face falling to the old floor followed by another one. He tried saying "L-l-let g-g-go" again, but it was almost muffled to where it couldn't hardly be heard. The first thing that he could say loud enough was "I'm sorry" though it may off come off as a quiet two words...he just wanted Malfoy to let go so the pain would stop, except after a surge of pain afterwards that would make his arm throb even more. Harry would rather have been punched, this was far worse, and he could even feel ever cut that was etched into him over and over again.

"Not blind, Mate. Just not gay" Fred laughed leaving with his brother George at the sight of Ron rising from his seat. Since it was only a day or two since the incident at Hogsmeade he wondered how Hermione would act towards the younger boy. "Sorry Ron, but I have to find Kate and get started on our project, we haven't gotten much farther to go, and I want to get started on it as soon as I can." however, Hermione dragged Ginny with her while leaving which meant she didn't want to start on her project right then and there.

Pansey magically wrote up a note since she didn't remember anything from the night before and made it appear right before Ron Weasley could leave. It read [I can help with your Charms homework if you want. -P.P] Pansey didn't understand why she wanted to help him, but it was that or find someone else to follow around. Malfoy was busy. Kate was already gone. What else was she going to do.
