OK. Another chapter finished. Enjoy everyone.
Chapter-2: Mr. Flitch
Draco was fed up. Its been almost half the year and nowhere near completing his task given by the Dark Lord. he just couldn't think how to fix that damn cabinet. Bloody hell. He knew he couldn't complete his task. The task to kill knew it was impossible. That's the reason the dark lord had given him this task. because the Dark Lord knew that it was impossible. Then he could punish Draco and his mother to relish his anger on his father. But still he have to try. He just couldn't watch his mother suffer to death while he stood there doing nothing.
Indeed it was the most wrong decision of his damned life. Taking his opinion into account wasn't even an option for him. He didn't choose this, he was chosen. Not that he'd have chosen any better. Though the decision was forced on him but he'd accepted it willingly and proudly.
Thinking all these, he entered the Restricted section silently. He needed to do some research. If he could find about any Dark objects that could help him ease his task or better complete it.
It was hard to come out of the Slytherin Common Room because half the Slytherins were still up occupying the common room as it was weekend. But thanks to his aunt Bellatrix. Lesson with her over the summer had been really helpful and he learnt many useful spells. He made himself invisible by invisibility charm. This was an advanced spell work. But he'd done it expertly. Again thanks to aunt Bellatrix.
he entered the Restricted section unlocking the gate and entered the room as silently as he could muster. Immediately, he spotted a faint light across the middle of the room. He walked up to the source of light but stopped keeping a whole feet distance in between. He saw a body less head floating in the mid air with a armless hand holding a wand. "A Ghost," Draco mused. He'd never seen such a ghost here at Hogwarts in his six years. He couldn't make out its face for lack of light. It seemed to be looking for a book. "Now why would a ghost require a book?" he wondered.
He tried to pass it quickly but steadily. But he seemed to draw its attention. It frantically looked around and then spoke in squeaky voice. "Who's there?" Fear was evident in the voice. It was female voice. The girl's voice sounded so fimiliar; almost like...like Granger. "Show yourself." she commanded. Yeah. He was pretty sure now that she was definitely Granger. He heard her sigh and mutter "Revelio". He gasped before he could stop himself.
Hermione and Draco came face to face with each other. Before anyone of them could start insulting one another, they heard footsteps coming towards them. The gate opened and both of them were rooted on the spot. Before anything goes out hands, Hermione tugged Draco close and spread the cloak over themselves. Draco opened his mouth to shout at her but quickly closed it seeing her glare that clearly told him to keep his big mouth shut before they get caught.
"Mrs. Norris, what is it?" Filch's squeaky voice came. Mrs. Norris ran in their direction. Draco quickly covered Hermione's mouth with one hand before she could gasp and put one hand around her waist and pulled them both backwards inside the alcove where they were standing. Hermione struggled to get out his grasp. But he held her firmly. "Stop wiggling." Draco breathed. Hermione got a tingling sensation on her neck where his breathe hit and a shiver ran down her spine. She shivered in that sensation.
Filch passed them and picked up Mrs. Norris and left the room after a quick swipe with his eyes to their greatest relief.
I'll post the next chapter as soon as possible. Till then. Please review.
