"Draco! Get back here now!" I called after him stomping my feet. He turned, a smirk curling on the corner of his mouth; this made me even angrier with him
"Yes?" he asked innocently walking towards me, with a slight saunter. How dare he! He stopped barely an inch from my face; I could feel his hot breath on my skin. I closed my eyes smelling his sweet scent.
"Um…" I opened my eyes to find his grey ones staring at me, penetrating my whole body, I cringed under his forceful look, "look," I placed a hand on my hip, leaving the other one to hold my large books for another long year at Hogwarts, my seventh to be exact, "I don't want to share a dorm with you either, but-"
"But nothing," he angered cutting me off rudely, "Just stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours," he narrowed his eyes at me, I felt crushed under his tall, muscular frame. What was I so scared of? He was only Draco, okay so his family where the most powerful wizarding family in the whole of Europe, and he was a good foot taller than me, he also was stronger and could kill me in the blink of an eye.
Great, I thought sarcastically as he raised his arm to smack me across the face, I tilted my head downwards waiting for the impact. Draco began to laugh coldly; I looked up at him, to find him scratching the back of his neck yawning. He wasn't going to hit me after all, god how stupid must I have looked, I thought biting my lip, as he continued laughing with increasing volume.
"God, it's not that funny Malfoy," I said defensively, he stopped laughing at me and his expression turned, and he once again for the millionth time that day began to smirk at me.
"Yeah it was," he was taking the piss out of me! I 'humphed' loudly causing him to roll his eyes.
"Whatever!" I said turning my head from him and pouting. There was an awkward silence before he broke it, he always did.
"Look, okay there is nothing we can do about this," he said referring to the situation of becoming head boy and girl, "so if you don't mind I want to stay as far away from you as possible. I think it wise for you to do the same woman," he turned and began to leave the common room. Calling me woman just overstepped the border by a fine line. I began breathing heavily.
God if we're having arguments already how will we be in two weeks time, or a years time, I thought glumly still watching him leave in triumph. "If your going off to entertain one of your toys don't come back late and wake me up," oh shit why did I have to say that. He stopped in his tracks and turned to me, smirking violently.
"Oh don't you worry, I wont wake you up," and with that he turned and left. I let out a deep sigh and plopped down on the sofa watching the wood in the common room fire burn slowly. It was my first night in the seventh year, and it wasn't an enjoyable one. I stared around smiling, god everyone one else would kill to be here. The common room had rich, ornate fabrics and furnishings almost making it hard to breath. Rich reds, golds, greens and purples covered every inch of the head boy and girl common room. My room was no different, the same rich red curtains with gold tiebacks. A large four-poster bed was situated in the middle of the room, just waiting to be jumped on. I didn't know about Draco's room, or maybe it was more the fact that I didn't want to know.
I strolled into the bathroom, which unfortunately I had to share with Draco, apparently to bond our houses together. Bullshit. I left my door open to let the steam out. The bathroom, was too rich and extravagant, with large gold taps and the biggest bathtub I had ever seen in my life, pearly white and shiny. There was also a shower with frosted glass, so that if you stood in it only your shoulders upwards and knees downwards would be visible. The white tiles and white floors and ceilings reflected the light, being a big change from the dimly lit common room. I blinked a few times as I opened the door, and the light hit me, before stepping onto the cold tiles on the floor. I checked my reflection in the mirror. A pair of piercing blue eyes stared back at me. I flicked my blonde hair over my shoulder and begun undressing. I pulled my jumper over my head and pulled my skirt down, stepping over it carefully. I started to unbutton my shirt, until I heard a noise downstairs in the common room.
Draco probably brought them back here; I thought tossing it in a pile along with my other clothes. I was standing in my chiffon, baby pink vest top and hot pants that my sister bought me before I left. My mother disapproved of course, telling me that a girl of my age should not be wearing something so revealing. I tried to explain that I was seventeen, but as usual that was no use. The voices where drifting closer, so I pressed my ear up against the door that lead from the bathroom to Draco's bedroom. And sure enough it was Draco.
"Oh Draco wow this is so romantic!" And Pansy, as usual! I thought as I gasped in shock, but not to loudly encase they heard me.
"I'll be right back," I heard Draco's voice from on the other side of the door, "I'm going to the bathroom," Oh no! I quickly gathered up my things and ran towards the door to my bedroom, trying to be as quiet as I could. I stretch out to push open the door, lucky I didn't close it; I thought my hand was barely a few centimetres from it, I turned my head quickly and Draco entered closing the door behind him. He looked up and saw me, oh joy.
"Orion!" he said jumping back in disgust, "Get out!"
"No!" I protested, unaware that I was standing in almost nothing, "This is a shared bathroom,"
"So, get out," he said whining.
"No!"
"Yes, get out, I need to prepare myself for…" he was cut off by the sickly voice of none other that Pansy Parkinson from inside Draco's bedroom, yuck, I thought, my ears splitting.
"Draykie, what's taking you so long? And who are you talking to?" she moaned. I stifled a giggle, he didn't notice.
"Oh, um… no one" he said glaring at me as I started to snigger uncontrollably. He picked up a towel from off of the rack and threw it at me; it hit me hard in the chest, "GET OUT YOU FILTHY LITTLE RAT!" he shouted as quietly as he could pushing me into my bedroom. He held me tightly by the arm and dragged me over to my bed and pushed me onto it.
"Fine, go fuck yourself you stupid prick!" I shouted wriggling free of his grip.
"I don't need to fuck myself, I've got someone right in there waiting for it!" he ranted leaving my room and entering the bathroom, he closed my door quietly. What would Pansy ever say if she knew I knew? I thought climbing under the covers, doesn't really matter I suppose the whole fucking school knows, I muttered to myself. I was slightly annoyed that I would have to have my shower in the morning.
I tried to nod off, but they where being too noisy. Can't they use a fucking silencing spell? I asked myself turning over. I stuffed my head under my pillow, this seemed to do the trick because I fell asleep straight away, and I never even heard Pansy leave.
Orion woke the next morning with a throbbing pain in her throat, great, it must have been all that bloody shouting; she thought stepping out of bed and rubbing her eyes sleepily. She made her way to the bathroom, where she hastily changed into her normal clothes for today. Dumbledore decided that it would be best for the students to rest for one day before returning to study on Wednesday. Orion slipped on a short denim skirt, and a tight pink t-shirt, showing her curves and slim body at it's best. She brushed her sleek hair and applied her make-up.
She trudged down the stairs, casting her gaze onto Draco slouching on the leather sofa in his silky green boxers, munching on a slice of toast, thickly covered with jam. He looked up at her throwing her a dirt look. She sat on the sofa opposite him; he still ignored her before looking at her, as if to ask why she was still in his presence.
"Yes?" he asked her, she was unaware to the fact that she was staring in hunger at the slice of toast in his hand.
"Can I hav-"
"No, you cannot have any, rat," he said reading her mind, "I had a house elf bring this to me, if you want some, get it yourself," he made the food disappear in one swift movement of his wand. Orion fumed, he was so rude.
"Fine! Ferret!" she screamed standing up, "By the way could you and that fugly slut keep it down next time, I barely got to sleep. It wasn't my ideal sound effect trying to go to sleep," Draco just smirked and stood up also, towering over her. Orion bared her teeth, she really hated him.
"I'm sorry if I made her moan so much!" he said flicking the waistband of his boxers. Orion snorted at this gesture and returned to her room, and into the bathroom. Draco stomped up the stairs and into his room, changing the sheets and muttering curses under his breath.
Orion flew open her trunk digging around, until she found what she was searching for. She pulled out a jumper and unfolded it, removing a packet of cigarettes from it.
"See what you made me do," she muttered towards the bathroom door, knowing that Draco was on the other side of the bathroom. She removed a fag from it and lit it using the tip of her wand. She sighed exhaling the smoke; she waved away the smoke with her hand and opened her bedroom window. Orion lent out of it, inhaling again and blowing out the smoke. She relaxed slightly.
"Tut, tut, already breaking school rules," Draco said walking over towards her. Orion spun around quickly still holding the fag in between her index and middle fingers.
"Get out of my room, you shit head!" she stormed past him and opened the door to the bathroom, gesturing for him to leave.
"Fine but I will have you know that Pansy will be coming here again tonight," he muttered leaning on the doorframe, his hands folded across his muscular chest.
"What! Doesn't she get tired of you Malfoy?" she said glaring at him. Draco chuckled lightly; Orion quenched her cigarette on the side of the sink, blowing her smoke out at him.
"Quite the contrary actually rat, I keep her begging for more," he said smirking. Orion wanted to gag.
"It's actually her, I fell sorry for, I mean she has to sleep with you seven days of the week," Draco narrowed his eyes at her.
"I'm actually very good in bed," Draco said still standing in his boxers, Orion noticed.
"Yeah, yeah, so is Pansy, so I've heard," she said turning from him and walking towards her bed and plopping on it. That was it. Draco couldn't take this shit from her. He walked towards her hoping to catch her off guard. He raised his hand to smack her across the face, but Orion was too quick and grabbed it on time. In her defence she stood quickly and using her other hand smacked him across his pale cheek.
"Ahh!" Draco yelled leaning over and cradling his cheek. He didn't have the energy to hit her back, "Fucking ugly, bitch!" he yelled storming out of her room, through the bathroom, and into his own bedroom slamming his door shut. Orion walked into the bathroom, smirking, a smirk which rivalled even Draco's. How long have I wanted to do that? She asked herself smiling at her reflection in the bathroom, besides he's been asking for it for too long, she applied some lip gloss and beamed.
Fucking slut! Draco thought pulling up his jeans. Actually she's probably a virgin, he thought as an afterthought. He laughed quietly to himself.
"By the way you man fucker, I-" but Orion was cut off by Draco opening the bathroom door, phwor! Orion thought staring at his abs and toned arms, luckily he didn't notice, he was too busy being pissed off.
"What?" he asked brushing back his hair with his hand.
"You heard, man fucker," she said it slowly this time, to reinforce it.
"I've never fucked a man," he said frowning at her.
"Pansy?" she said smirking at her own remark.
"Pansy isn't a man," he said fuming in anger. Orion disagreed.
"No, but she looks like one," she replied.
"Pansy is a gorgeous girl," he remarked defensively.
"I think gorgeous it pushing the boundaries slightly Malfoy," she muttered.
"Whatever, your still a fucking virgin, so you can't talk," he said making a good come back.
"Yeah… so…" she said quietly, turning her head from him.
"You are!" he said delighted with this fact. He laughed loudly at her, and decided to cut this discussion short, and entered his room, closing his door with a bang in her face.
Orion headed towards the Gryffindor common room, to meet with Harry, Ron and Hermione, her three best friends. And besides it was an escape from Draco. She arrived at the fat lady's portrait.
"Oh hello Orion," the lady greeted her. Orion smiled at her.
"Hi," she said waving lightly, "Star drum," she said, and the portrait swung open. She walked into the common room, and found her friends seated around the fireplace, chatting amongst themselves. The looked up at her, Hermione squealed loudly.
"Orion!" she exclaimed running towards her and embracing her in a hug.
"Hey," Harry and Ron said running to hug her as well.
"Hi you guys," she said sitting back down with them.
"I missed you over the summer," Hermione said resting her feet on the coffee table.
"Me too," Ron said noticing a big change in her since he last saw her. He and Harry had to admit that Orion was gorgeous.
"Yeah, I had to escape Draco… and see you guys," she added after seeing their reactions to the fact that she only went there to escape Malfoy.
"Oh, how is being head girl," Hermione asked, she only got over the fact that she didn't get the spot about three weeks ago. She wasn't jealous; she just always thought she would get it.
"It's great, apart from the fact that I have to live with none other than ferret Malfoy," she sighed.
"Fun," Ron said sarcastically. Orion smiled at him, flashing her pearly whites.
"Cheer up man," Blaise said to his best friend.
"It's just that… that… bitch," he said after much thought of a name for her.
"What bitch? Sorry man, there's just so many bitches in your life," Blaise smirked.
"Shut up, no it's the head girl Orion," he said just the thought of her wanted to make him gag.
"Orion? She is too fine," Blaise, said outraged.
"No she is not fine. Yeah, okay she's cute, but she's a little rat," he said pushing his hair back out of his eyes in the Slytherin common room.
"Nah I would bed her any day,"
"You would bed any girl, with a chest size bigger than your ego," Draco smirked.
"Shut up, yeah her chest is important, but her personality counts for most of it," Blaise liked his women but he did value them as people too.
"That's why I'm lucky, Pansy is gorgeous and she's funny, smart, go-" Draco was interrupted by Blaise's soft laughing.
"What's so funny man?" Draco asked stopping mid sentence.
"Just you know,"
"Oh Merlin, do you think Pansy looks like a man?" Draco asked Blaise after remembering the conversation he had with Orion about Pansy looking like a man.
"Well… um…"
"You do!" Draco said slightly hurt, "I can't believe my best friend even thinks so,"
"You get to live with Orion, you don't think anything will ever happen between you two?" Blaise asked looking around to make sure Pansy wasn't nearby.
"Not even if she was the last woman on Earth." Draco finished folding his hands across his muscular chest and leaning back in the leather seat.
Orion said goodbye to her friends and left, walking briskly back to the heads common room.
"Oi, rat," she heard Malfoy's voice from behind her." Orion spun on her heals.
"When are you gunna get tired of that name?" she asked frustrated.
"Oh, I don't know. I'll think of a new one for you," he smirked at her, but Orion was far from amused.
"Fuck off ferret," she said turning and walking away, but Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her around to face him. Orion winced as his fingers pressed tightly into her arm.
"Don't you ever speak to me like that again, you stupid little whore," he spat, baring his teeth.
"Whatever, what are you gunna do, get your father on my case. Or better yet, the dark lord, I mean after all he must come to your house all the time, to discuss 'business'," she smirked, knowing that she had hit a raw nerve. Draco's grip on her arm tightened as he grew in anger.
"You… you…"
"You what, rat? Whore? Or Bitch?" she brushed his hand away and a curl formed at the corner of her mouth.
"Ahh!" he ranted turning and storming off.
Stupid motherfucker! She thought watching him walk in a huff, down the corridor.
"You prick," she muttered to herself, as she saw his cloak flutter around the corner. She waited a while; so that when she went back to the common room he would not see her. Hopefully he'll be in his room, and I can quietly slip in without him noticing me. She thought after waiting a few minutes, and walking in the same direction he had, back to their common room.
"Oh hello," the portrait to the heads dorm said to her.
"South bond," she gave the portrait the password, and was not really in the mood for a chat. The door swung open and Orion tentatively strolled in, looking around for Draco. Fortunately he wasn't there and Orion quickly ran up into her bedroom closing her door behind her. It was mid afternoon and Orion was hungry, she missed breakfast thanks to Draco, and she skipped luch, talking to Harry, Ron and Hermione about their summer holidays. Her stomach let out a loud grown and she clutched it, grabbing her wand from off her dresser.
"Accio, black skirt," she said and a short black ra-ra skirt landed neatly on her bed, she smiled inwardly, "Accio, blue t-shirt, and her favourite t-shirt flew out of her wardrobe, and folded itself on top of her skirt. She quickly got changed; applying some more make-up and making her hair wavy with the help of a new spell Hermione taught her last year. She smiled at her reflection before walking out of her room, and into something solid. She flew backwards, her back making contact with the floor outside her room.
"Watch where you're going," a voice came. Orion looked up and saw an ugly girl crouched over her.
"More like watch where you're going, you could have killed me," Orion sighed in defence standing up and dusting her clothes down. She looked up at the girl in front of her. It was Pansy Parkinson, strolling out of Draco's room. Luckily for Orion he was nowhere to be seen.
"Be more careful next time you stupid idiot," Pansy spat brushing past her and descending the stairs and strolling out of the common room. Orion was having one hell of a day and without much hesitation rushed to the great hall.
The hall was full of students all eating, drinking and chatting loudly. Orion looked around the hall and her eyes fixed on a mass of curls at the Gryffindor table, she walked over to her friends and sat down next to Ron sighing loudly.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked her concern in his voice.
" Oh, nothing" Orion gestured the topic away with a swish of her hand. Ron look bemused, but tucked into his sausages anyway.
"Aren't you eating?" Hermione said, pushing Orion's plate closer to her.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I was just thinking," Orion replied picking up her knife and fork.
If Orion was being truthful with her friends, she would have told them that her thoughts were pre occupied with a certain boy, glaring daggers at her from across the room. It upset her for some odd reason, she didn't want that person to hate her, because it's not fair if you like someone but they hate you, now is it?
