She heard someone crying down the hallway. She shifted silently down the castle's ways, she wasn't suppose to be out of bed at this hour, but she was coming back from a mission. She wandered over to the empty classroom? Was it? She couldn't tell in this sort of light. She wondered who was there. No one else should be up this late, she didn't want to get herself caught or in trouble, but her curiosity got the better of her.
She slowly opened the door, staring in at a shuddering boy, man, almost a man, in a long black cloak covering up his features. He was pounding his fist against a wardrobe crying, "Stupid stupid. Work damn you, your suppose to work."
She stepped into the room "Hey", she said. He spun around wiping his eyes. She stared more, her eyes widening, it was Draco Malfoy.
"What do you want! Get out!" He shouted. Determining that no one will see his weakness.
He stalked over to the door about to shove her out, "Get out!" he repeated.
She grabbed his hand, looking at the bloody mess he had made of it against a broken wooden door, "Your hurt."
He grabbed his fist back, "Leave me alone." He rushed out of the room, clattering his shoes, shouting, and making a lot of noise.
The blonde-haired girl rushed out of the room after him. The urge to protect, "Shh…" she hissed.
Slowly her hyper sensitive hearing picked up the padding of paws and the meows of a cat. She grabbed the boy's arm with a strength he didn't realize the girl possessed. She pulled him into a corner behind a suit of armor. He was about to shout again, but was stopped by her hand covering his mouth, indicating a silence gesture.
He narrowed his eyes until he too went still as a board when he heard Argus Filch's slimy voice echoing down the hall, "Who is out of their Mrs. Norris?" He swooped down the hallway, "Some student out of bed? How I will punish them."
Draco squeezed his eyes shut, he couldn't afford to be caught out of bed and have the questions asked about what he was doing. As he was pondering about his fate, and the way to worm out of it once caught he heard the voice of the woman, girl, no woman, whispering a spell. A sharp rattling and clattering came down the opposite direction of the hall where they were.
Mrs. Norris and Filch quickly turned to where they heard the noise, "Come Mrs. Norris" he shouted. "The hunt is on." The cat stayed back and starred at the spot she knew the students were hiding, and then trotted after her master.
The girl grabbed the boy's arm and ran down the hallway away from Filch and his cat. They rounded the corner and she got out the hurried words, "My common room isn't near here." prompting him to wonder just what House she was in, and how she knew where the Slytherien's was.
He decided not to think too hard, and as naturally as running with a long time friend, grabbed her hand, and lead her into the direction of the dungeon. They slid to a stop in front of the Slytherien common room and he hissed the password to the wall hiding the dungeon. They rushed inside hearing the wall shift close behind them.
They both collapsed, out of breath, against the walls of the dungeon.
Draco finally took a good long look at the girl who had interrupted and saved him from being caught. She was wearing the weirdest outfit he had ever seen: a blue mini skirt and a white outfit with red bows and sailor color. "Who are you?" Never having seen someone likes this in the castle before.
The blonde looked at him confused, like he should recognize her and the realized what she was wearing. She rolled her eyes and plucked a brooch from the center of her outfit. The glamour she had been wearing dropped in a flash of light and she shrunk about two inches and aged down to about 16, her hair fell down from the ridiculous hair style it was in, her clothes melded from the weird outfit to a school uniform with the Hufflepuff crest on it, and the blurry effect her face had fell off.
His eyes widened, he recognized her now, "Bunny?" he asked confused.
"Hey" smiled Bunny running a hand through her tossed hair. Frowning as she pulled a twig out of it. He noticed a cut and burn marks running along her arm. He frowned.
Bunny sat up and then wobbled a little and sat back down. "Sorry," she said.
"What was that?" he asked indicating her brooch.
"Old family thing." she clipped at him. She limped herself to the door, "I'll leave you now. Sorry to bother you."
He grabbed her arm, the not injured one, "What happened to you?" indicating her injuries, "Why were you out so late?"
"Why were you crying?" she countered. "See you in Charms." she made for the door again.
He grabbed her as she almost fell again, "Come on Bunny. You're hurt, what's going on?"
"Your not the only one with family issues since Voldermort came back Draco." she put her head between her legs, tired. She looked so tired.
She tried and succeeded in getting up again, he grabbed her arm to help her stand, "Why won't you talk to me?"
"Why won't you talk to me?" She was trying to be mean, and failed, she tried to not care, but she couldn't. All of the tiredness of the evening washed over her as she started crying, "We don't talk anymore Draco. You spend all your time with Crabbe and Goyle. You shut yourself off from me." He backed off a little, realizing her words were true, he was so caught up in his own issues, that he had totally blocked his best friend (his secret best friend, but best friend none the less)
"It hurts Draco, when I know you need me and you won't let me in," she pounded her small fists against his chest.
"Let me help you." he said indicating primarily about walking, but also referring to whatever it was that she was doing.
"Let me help you." she counted back again.
"You're too good for what I'm doing." Draco deflected.
"You're not good enough for what I'm doing." Bunny turned her eyes away from her friend, afraid to see what he saw in her face.
They hugged.
"Let me at least helped you back to the Hufflepuff basement."
She laughed, "You can't sneak around to save your lie." She activated her brooch, "My glamour helps me."
He watched her climb out of the entrance moving a little easier. He rushed to her side again before she left, "Please be safe Bunny. Please." he pleaded.
She turned to look behind her, her eyes almost breaking his heart, "You too." She gave him a small encouraging smile. How did she smile, when she was being broken to pieces by her family, just like him. "Don't go into the forest."
She took off down the hall, he watched her go, listening to her heeled boots on the stone floor.
He walked back into the common room, the green lights of the lake above shining through giving the room, and lonely feeling. He leaned up against a wall….alone. He silently wept, "Please help me. I need you."
AN: So…it's been a while. This is just an idea I had while sitting at work bored, and was able to actually just sit down and write it in my notebook.
I love being able to incorporate both worlds when doing a crossover, and I think I worked it out pretty well this time.
