Sorry for any grammar mistakes you might find. I'm from Denmark:)

He knew it was going to happen, still he barely had the time to protect himself. The hit came, aimed at his face. It hit his lifted arm and he whimpered when the pain shot through him. His legs disappeared under him and he tumbled to the ground. He folded in on himself, trying to control his sobs. He waited for the blow. He knew that they never came alone. His body tensed even more up every second the hit didn't come. He could hear people talking around him, but he couldn't make out the exact words. All he could hear was his fathers words. "You're pathetic. Weak". He jumped when a hand suddenly was put on his shoulder. He looked up and stared directly into his teachers eyes. Lupin sat besides of him with worry in his eyes. Draco sat up and looked around. They were alone. He closed his eyes when it hit him what had just happened. He flushed crimson and quickly looked down. It had just been a Boggart. It had just been a Boggart. He had been so stupid. He knew that it wasn't his real father. He had just shown how weak he really was in front of every Gryffindor and Slytherin in his year. And he knew that they wouldn't keep it a secret. Maybe some of the Slytherins would, but the Gryffindors... they now knew about Draco's biggest secret. His weakness. There was no way they weren't gonna use it against him. "Draco come and sit" Lupin said silently.

Draco looked up. Lupin sat himself over at a table there stood over at the wall. Two comfortable chairs stood on each side of it. Lupin sat down in one of them and looked expectantly over at the boy. Draco looked over at the door before standing up. He sighed irritated and threw himself down in the other chair. He crossed his arms and looked challenging at his teacher. Lupin just looked calmly at him. Draco really didn't like that man. "Draco I'm really sorry about that" Lupin said without loosing eye contact.

Draco tried to stare him down, but ended up giving up and looking down. "Weak, pathetic" he thought to himself. "I know you're a strong kid Draco, but if what I just saw is real, there is no shame in asking for help" Lupin said.

"Help? I don't need help" Draco exclaimed quickly.

There was silent for a moment. "Draco, are you being abused at home?"

Draco looked up in shock. "No. Of course not" but even he could hear how fake he sounded.

He mentally kicked himself. He couldn't even lie probably. "I'm only trying to help you and I can't do that without you telling me to" Lupin said.

Draco looked at his new teacher with cold, determined eyes. "Then we have nothing more to talk about" he said and stood up.

Lupin didn't move when he went for the door. "If you change your mind, I'm here Draco".

Draco didn't stop. He opened the door and almost ran out.
