The Bet
**~~~~~~~** Prologue **~~~~~~~**
Draco Malfoy was alone in his bed chamber in the dungeons of Hogwarts.
He was rubbing his hands together.
He couldn't help it.
He couldn't stop the feeling of trepidation flooding all his senses.
He had screwed up, big time. And he knew it.
He sat down on his four poster bed, filled with restlessness.
He had been pacing back and forth in his chamber all morning and he was sick of it. He had never been one to hide. What would his father think of him if he saw him now, cowering, because that was what he was doing, terrified in his bed chamber.
All he had to do was stay here, he would be safe in this room. He had already filled the room with protective spells. Nothing, or better yet, no one would be able to enter.
He was holding his head in his hands when he heard it.
At first it was shock that made him jump to his feet, and as he heard the loud noise from the common room outside his chamber door, he realized it was icy fear.
He prepared himself, withdrawing his wand, and as he pointed it at the door, he noticed his aim was shaky.
There was a crashing noise as someone was tossed across the common room. Screaming of girls in shock, spells and jinxes being yelled by some students. There was more crashing sounds. Then silence.
Then stomping footsteps coming closer and closer to his door.
Draco didn't realize he was shaking his head slightly, his eyes fixed on the door in front of him.
The door was slammed open by an incantation, all the protective spell he had put up immediately attacked the intruder.
The intruder dodged all the attacks by the protection spells with a single wave of his wand.
His intruder stood at the entrance of his room, his glare filled with fiery daggers.
Draco stared at those eyes, glittering with hatred and anger. It was hard to believe that they were green.
