Humming and skipping towards the door to the Room of Requirement as it had appeared by my request, swiftly entering the messy room I started my search. I was in the room where all the lost things of Hogwarts appeared and there was this beautifull grand wing piano that I was tuning for the past two days. It was the perfect piano to test my new song, my manager had been buggering me to finish it but I refused to finish it without this piano.
Finding the black piano I rolled up my sleeves, put my dark blond hair up in a bun and got my hands inside the beautiful instrument, never stopping humming a tune. I had to be carefully to watch the time, last time I forgot about it and nearly was caught by one of the prefects patrolling the halls. My head shot up as I sweared I heard something shift, I wasn't sure anyone knew about this room besides the members of the DA. I didn't think Harry or Hermoine, let alone Ron search for a room with lost things but I had been wrong before eventhough I hated to admit it.
"Ouch!" I looked at the finger I cut on the cords, I really had to stop working when my thoughts got me so far from my work. Being a Hufflepuff, a hard worker wasn't always such an advantage in situations like this. I pouted as blood oozed out of the wound and put it in my mouth while searching for a band aid in my bag on the ground.
"Who's there?! Come out!" I heard a voice call out, it was determined but there was a hint of fear in it. I curiously got up and rounded a huge pile of stuff, my finger still in my mouth, when I was met with the tip of a wand. "Don't fire!" I raised my hands up in defense. My gaze followed the wand up to his face.
"Malfoy?" I lowered my hands and looked at him dumbfounded. "What the hell are you doing here?" I watched his face go from concerned to angry. "None of your bussiness stupid Hufflepuff! I should ask you the questions." He didn't lower his wand on me as he spit out the word Hufflepuff. Typical. I sighed and turned back towards my bag. "Hey I asked you a question, get up and turn around!" he barked at me, I finally found the band aid and showed it to him. "Found it! Don't be so moody Malfoy. You're not the only one allowed in this room. And to answer your unspoken question, I'm fixing this piano. Thought it would have a nice tune for my new song. I wonder what a Malfoy is doing here all by himself without his lackeys" I told him while nursing my finger. He huffed angrily and lowered his wand. "Keep your nose out of my business. Potter isn't around to protect you wench." I puffed out my chest and walked up to him prodding my finger into his chest. "I don't need Harry to protect myself Malfoy, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself as I'm sure you know." I remembered how Hermoine and I punched him in the face at the same time in Third year.
I saw his eyes squint as I mentioned the incident. "I thought you The Golden Four never separated. Surviving on your own traitor?" I growled at the word and whipped out my wand. "Watch it Malfoy. If you keep separating yourself from your little friend like you're doing all year long you might get an accident." I raised my wand higher towards is face. Did I imagine it or did I just see a hint of surprise in his eyes? "Yes Malfoy I've been watching you all year. You acting weird doesn't mean anything good, so this is a warning. We're watching you." We both glared at each other and I couldn't help noticing how skinny he had gotten this year. Something wasn't right.
"I'm done waisting my time on you." With that he turned around and dissapeared between the clutter.
I cocked my head to the side, Malfoy never went out of his way to keep pestering me, no matter if the others were around or not. I made a mental note to mention this to Harry, if he wanted to listen at least. That stupid book kept him obsessed at all times. He really should order a new one from Flourish and Blotts.
Returning my attention towards the piano I finished tuning the last cords.
The huge room filled with her soft voice and the delicate piano tunes. I still wondered why she took the effort to watch me that closely while Potter, the stupid mudblood and Weasel didn't seem to bother then giving me suspicious glances now and then. I didn't know why I held back but Aurora was the least annoying one of The Golden Four. She was brilliant just like the mudblood but she didn't flaunt it like her and she was a great dueler as I experienced last year when they escaped when I was in the Inquisitor squad.
Why was I praising her? I had to get her out of here. As long as she was here I couldn't work on the cabinet and time was pressing. My hands going through my hair franaticly I thought about the consequences if I didn't finish this task.
I listened to the melody still going through the air, liking this new song. I remember how she had stormed through the Great hall waving a letter in her hands and screaming towards the mudblood how she got a contract. It was in our third year that she was discovered by some music label and got a contract to be a singer. I knew she sold a lot of albums when it got out and you could hear her a lot on the Wireless Wizarding Net, till the point it got annoying.
How she befriended the other Pothead was beyond him. Hufflepuffs didn't normally befriend Gryffindors. Why did he care again? Right, not. The little orphan was just a annoyance, that's all.
