Chapter Two

Satisfied, I walked towards my desk, eager to find out the name of this comic. I wasn't a big comic fan, but I loved reading anything involving action and crime. I needed something new to read and this could be a new obsession if I enjoyed it. I opened my browser and searched in the bar Draco and Harry Comic. I looked at the sites that were found. I mostly found people posting stories on Draco and Harry along with fan art of them together. I almost gave up until I saw a link that seemed official. So I clicked on it and found a website with the heading;

Welcome to Blue Blood's Comic.

On the left side of the website there was an area for fans to communicate and the information about the author and the comic's release. I clicked on the chat room and was met with multiple people ranting about the latest chapter release. I quickly closed it, not wanting any spoilers. Going back to the original link, I scrolled down and saw a link to the online version or another link to buy the printed books. Below that was a general description of the comic;

Losing someone can change who you are completely. One could move on in peace and one can go into a crazy haze of rage. Harry and Draco have both lost someone and because of this, they've separated. Harry is now a detective on the hunt for the infamous mafia leader who used to be his best friend. How long will it take to find him and bring him to justice?

Now I definitely became overeager to start reading. I scrolled down further, and saw how popular the comic was. There's been multiple stores that were sold out on all volumes and it's reached the top five of bestselling comics in the last two years. "Wow." I mumbled to myself in amazement.

"What are you so interested in, that your face is glued to the screen?" An amused voice asked.

I jumped slightly, surprised that Ron snuck up on me like that. Ron looked at the screen and his eyes widened. "You read Blue Blood too!?"

I narrowed my eyes and looked up at him. "You're a fan?"

Ron scoffed, "Of course I am!"

I shook my head. "I haven't read it yet. Just heard of it, actually."

Ron was shocked as he looked down at me. "Hermione Granger hasn't read Blue Blood?" He then laughed and I became slightly annoyed.

"How is that funny?" I pouted.

"I thought you loved action stories." Ron said.

I looked back at the computer and closed the browser.

"I do, but I don't usually read comics." I mumbled, noticing he had a piece of paper in his hand. I snatched it out of his hand and read it as a distraction at being caught snooping on the website.

It was the rest of the list for the books. Good, it could give me something to do for the rest of the day. "Oh yea, I was going to give that to you," Ron smiled.

"Thanks, I'll get them done before I leave tonight." I replied. I stood up and started walking back to the storage room. Ron followed behind. "You know we have the comic here in the library. We have all the volumes except the latest one."

Now it was my turn to laugh. Ron raised his eyebrow and looked at me with a half smirk.

I shook my head, laughing to myself, "I haven't thought of that. You know, the comic being here." I really needed sleep.

"Ah, no worries. It's not worth it though, reading them from the book. All the chapters are posted online for free." Ron replied, walking past me to the elevators.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

He looked back at me and winked. "It's time for my lunch, I'll catch you later."

I waved goodbye and walked to the storage room once the doors closed. I needed to sort the rest of the newly purchased books and make sure talk with McGonagall before I left for the night. I sighed and stretched, preparing myself knowing I was going to be digging through boxes on the floor.

"Heading out for the night?" McGonagall asked as she watched me neatly putting papers away.

I looked up and saw her getting ready to leave as well. "Yea, it's been a busy day with all the sorting and homepage issues."

McGonagall sighed, "I know, so many students complained about the website crashing whenever they tried searching for articles."

I groaned in annoyance. "Why does it keep doing that? I thought we fixed that issue the other day?"

She shook her head in confusion. "Believe me, I don't know."

"Oh well, we'll fix it tomorrow." I said, looking out the window. It was raining again.

"Be careful on your way home Hermione." McGonagall said before heading out the doors with her umbrella.

I threw my jacket over my head and ran out the door after clocking out. Heading to my jeep, I quickly opened the door and started the engine. As I parked in the driveway, I walked up the sidewalk to my small cottage home and unlock the doors. Throwing my jacket on the couch and my keys on the nightstand, I headed straight for the bathroom in need of a shower.

My phone beeped and I looked down to see who texted me. It was Ron. He asked if I read Blue Blood yet. I replied back that I was just about to before turning the hot knob. Getting in the spray, I hummed in contentment as the hot water washed away any tense muscles. Grabbing the towel, I pat dry my hair and let the messy curls air dry as I headed to my bedroom and got dressed. Picking up my tablet, I searched the website. Clicking on the online chapter section, I began to read.

I glanced at the clock on my nightstand and gasped. It was three in the morning and I've only gotten through the first volume. So far, this Harry Potter person was best friends with a man named Draco Malfoy. They both fell in love with the same girl. Since Draco had connections with bad people, he gotten the girl of his dreams killed. Soon after Harry and Draco became enemies. Draco went to join a mafia and eventually became the leader, killing numerous people and making deals with drug dealers. Harry however ended up joining the police department and became a detective, in search for Draco. In the last chapter of volume one, Draco found Harry's occupation decided he would give him a call.

I bit my lip as glanced at the clock. I really wanted to read the next volume but I had to sleep since I had work in the morning. Fuck it. I'm going to keep reading. Moving into a more comfortable position, I clicked on the second volume and clicked on the first chapter.

Hours passed as I got lost, becoming more obsessed with what would happen next. There was a particular chapter where I thought about what the group of teenage girls talked about earlier at work. They were right when they mentioned Draco being hot. Not only his looks but his character kept you hooked. He was so dark in a twisted and sexy way and whenever his evil grin appeared, I could swear there were butterflies. I was infatuated with this Draco character and I frowned. Draco's evil and is on the most wanted list. His crimes are notorious and he's set for life in prison if he gets caught. I wonder if the author is planning on killing him off or letting him rot in prison towards the ending.

I shook my head. I can't think like that. There's ten volumes, twenty chapters in each, so I shouldn't worry. I look to my right and the red neon numbers read six in the morning. I look back down at the comic and I'm halfway into the second volume. I look at the window to my left and I can see a peak of sunlight through the cream colored satin blinds. Might as well stay up since there's no way less than two hours of sleep will do anything for me. Two days of no sleep and I can already picture the horrible panda eyes I now have. I clicked on the next chapter and continued reading until it was time to get ready for work. Since I hadn't slept and showered before laying down, I went straight to taming my knotted curls and brushed my teeth. I put a bit of concealer on to cover the dark circles. Walking back into the bedroom, I picked out a warm outfit for today and dressed before making myself breakfast. I went straight for black coffee and settled on a bagel as I grabbed my keys and headed back to the library.
