Jaiden Spencer has never had it so good. She's the new Head Girl at [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], she's dating Ron (who we're helpfully informed is very nice) and everything is peachy. Well, apart from Voldemort being on the loose. While sneaking around the Hogwarts grounds at night to spy on Voldemort, who has apparently set up camp right outside the school, she discovers [[RonTheDeathEater an unwelcome secret about her wonderful boyfriend.]] Who immediately [[DeusAngstMachina becomes a whole lot less wonderful.]] But at least she has the Head Boy [[DracoInLeatherPants Draco Malfoy]] to [[HurtComfortFic go running to]] in their oh-so-handy and non-canonical private quarters.

Welcome to ''Dark Secrets'' by Jaiden [[AuthorAvatar (ahem)]] Lee Malfoy. The story can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2750046/1/Dark-Secrets here]] and a forum thread sporking it [[http://www.whygodwhy.org/new-releases-f1/in-which-draco-rescues-mary-sue-from-ron-the-death-eater-nws-t594.htm here]] (both links {{NSFW}}). The sequel ''Betrayed Revenge'', featuring less {{wangst}} but just as much CanonDefilement and Ron coming back from the dead, is [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3244398/1/ here]] and sporked [[http://www.whygodwhy.org/new-releases-f1/betrayed-revenge-aka-dark-secrets-ii-attack-of-the-canon-rape-t703.htm here.]]

* KnifeFight: Instead of magic, Draco defeats Ron by stabbing him with what appears to be a perfectly mundane pocketknife. Although one reviewer suggested that it was actually the [[Literature/LoneWolf Dagger of Vashna]] in disguise.
-->He was cut short as Ron growled and threw himself at Draco; Jaiden watched as the two boys fought, the sight was horrible. The wind blew just then, making her shiver, her back throbbed even more. Her shirt and pants were soaked in blood.\\
Draco threw a punch catching Ron in the jaw. Getting angrier by the second Ron swung the knife barely missing him.\\
“Slowing down?” Draco mocked.\\
“Not on your life,” Ron growled, lunging again, this time his aim was true, catching him in the side.\\
“That won’t happen again,” Draco said, grabbing his side.\\
“Next time you’ll be dead,” Ron said, punching him in the nose.\\
“You son-of-a-bit—” Draco started. As his nose began to bleed.\\
“Language Malfoy,”\\
“Whatever,” Draco said, grabbing the hand with the knife in it,\\
The two fought for a moment until Draco got the knife away from Ron. Backing up Draco panted for air, just as Ron was about to come. Draco threw it at him…\\
A shocked look fell on Ron’s face, bringing his hand up he felt for the knife and found it in his neck. The next second he fell backwards… Dead.
