And then, of course, Pansy's and Theo's dads had to come and mess things up. It became obvious to Draco right away, that their presence at the party had simply been a distraction. He always knew what kind of asshole Pansy's father was, but he never expected him to openly hit her. She had always hidden her bruises so well and diverted attention to other things when he had tried to bring them up. The same way Theo would try to hide his. Only he wasn't as skilled in hiding his bruises when they returned to school each year. Each year Theo would be covered in more bruises and cuts than the previous year.
