Just a little something that i wrote one day while i was bored in class
"I didn't expect you to show up, Granger," Draco Malfoy's voice came from behind me. I whirl around in my seat and face him.
"Well when you gave me an offer that I most certainly could not refuse, I just had to come." Sarcasm was heavily evident in my voice. As if I would willingly come to meet him!
"Do I sense a hint of sarcasm?" I roll my eyes at his oh-so-obviously blatant way of pissing me off. He always knew which buttons to push and when. Instead of acknowledging him I go back to the book I'm reading. After a moment the chair across from me is pulled back as Draco decides to take a seat across from me. My book was now completely forgotten.
"I am not exactly here on my own free will Malfoy and if it weren't for you blackmailing me with that information about that thing that I did then there's no way in hell that I would even be here!"
"Then I guess we will just have to get down to business. As you obviously already know I caught you last week in the Minister's office tampering with some of the paperwork. If you want to keep you job and not be arrested for breaking and entering not to mention tampering with official documents then you will agree to what I say." His hands were folded on the table as he spoke. While I had been smart enough to cast a Muffliato around us before he had started speaking it still made me feel uneasy talking about this in public. So naturally, I was keep a constant look out to see if someone had heard what Malfoy had said.
I fiddled with my hands looking down at my lap waiting for him to continue. While I knew it was a bad idea at the time I didn't think I would be paying this much for trying to fix what my asshole of a boss had written about a paper I had submitted. Not only had he reworded everything I had written but he made it seem like I was against the client we were vouching for.
After a couple of seconds of him not talking I looked him straight in the eye. I would not make myself look like a coward. It's simply not the Gryffindor way. I'll agree to the conditions of course but I won't be happy with any of it.
"…If I must…"
"First things first: you will do anything and everything that I tell you to do. No refusal allowed and no questions asked."
"As long as it is legal I will do whatever you ask of. Please note though that I will not be happy at all during the course of completing these tasks. Also nothing sexual and nothing that can get me fired or publicly scorned."
"Duly noted. Second, you will tell no one and I mean no one of this agreement. Are we clear?"
Through clenched teeth I muttered, "Crystal."
"Lastly, I would like for us to try and be friends." I sat up a little straighter in my chair now fully paying attention. Why would the rat bastard blackmail me and then ask us to be friends?
"Why the hell do you want to be friends with me if you are blackmailing me as well?" Now I know that this man is absolutely insane! No one pulls something like this.
"I have my reasons. If I feel the need to tell you then I will. Otherwise, don't question it. Now…do we have a deal?"
After a moment of brief hesitation I answer yes while looking nowhere near him. I would not give him the satisfaction of knowing that he has beaten me in something for once.
"Okay. So, friends?" He looked at me expectantly waiting for me to turn my head back to look at him. He held his hand out for me to shake it.
"Friends," I mutter begrudgingly as I grab his hand and shake it lightly. Afterwards he immediately stands up wiping the imaginary dust off of his clothes.
"Good bye, Granger," he turns around to head towards the door but stops abruptly and comes over to pick up my book, "Oh by the way, the main character dies in the end," he drops my book back on the table and happily saunters out of the café.
"Good bye friend," I then proceed to pick up the book and fling it to the other side of the table with the ending ruined I had absolutely no desire to continue reading. I sat in my chair sulkily for the rest of my lunch break simply muttering obscenities about the youngest Malfoy.
It has been a few days since i updated Safety at Khadra's, Im sorry for the delay but im trying to get as much written as possible. So about the amount of reviews that i get for my stories... Right now i don't have many and i would appreciate it if i got more. So now every time someone leaves a review if you also give me your name (or something you go by) I will make you a character in my future stories. It wont be just a simple mention of the name-no instead you will either become one of the main characters or get at least a tow paragraphs mention or at least twenty lines of dialogue. How does that sound? Anyways, thanks for reading my story...tell me what you think!
