Disclaimer: Hey guess what? I'm not J.K. Rowling! Ok, on with the story!
This is officially the hardest thing I have ever set my mind on. Draco Malfoy is apparently the best at being a mystery. Every time I think I'm on to something, I just get a clue that points me in the total opposite direction!
I am seriously getting into stalker mode. I've reached the point, where I know exactly when he gets up,(6:45 a.m.) to follow him, and I have his schedule memorized, simply from following it so often.
It's not like he even knows, I always stay a safe distance away from him, and always have a good "reason" for going where he is if someone were to ask. The only places where I can't keep track of him, is in his dorms and then sometimes I can't see him at all! It's like he just disappears! I wish I had some sort of map that just told me where he was all the time. How easy would that be?
My friends just think I'm studying a lot to try and beat Hermione, and they don't care enough to see that I actually spend my time observing a certain mystery. I've always been somewhat of a loner anyways.
Throughout my observing, I have been partial to some very interesting dramatic information. For one, I heard Draco talking about how Pansy was so annoying and he couldn't take her clinginess anymore. He also said that her laugh made him want to kill himself.
I laughed at that and had to run to not be caught spying in the passage to the great hall. This gave me a reason to believe I knew why Pansy was all red and puffy the next day. I also found out that Draco's best friend Blaise was cheating on his girlfriend Emma before anyone else knew.
I also found out that Draco and his mother were fighting. He seemed kind of pompous and ignorant when he talked about her, and anyone else for that matter. Like he was some big shot who could handle anything. I noticed Prof. Snape was actually talking to Draco more than usual as well, even following him after classes, and he didn't seem too happy about it.
I actually managed to get a few sentences with him in here and there, though not so much he thinks I'm always around him. No I'm careful. But once in the library, I asked him if he had a quill I could use. He said "Oh, yeah, sure, here." and handed me this beautiful black, smooth quill that he had in his bag.
Now I have no idea if the quill smelled like him at all so don't ask. I mean do I look like I go around smelling hot guys and then seeing if their writing utensils smell like them? Tch, ha, noooooo. Psh, defiantly not.
Anyway, once I asked him if he knew the Defense homework, and he told me "Yeah it's pg. 240 in the text, about non-verbal spells." And then one time, he asked me "Hey, do you know a shortcut to the library from the great hall?" and I graciously showed him a quick way through the statue of a vampire. (I have never shown anyone else that before, but I'm sure a few others know about it.)
Though I haven't really figured out anything yet, every night I find myself thinking about everything I've learned, and what it has to do with what he is so intent upon achieving.
Most of the time I've watched him, he was in the library checking out books about transportation. So all I knew about his little secret was that it had something to do with traveling. Yay! Score! For all I know, he could be seeing finding the best way to go off to Aruba for summer break. Or he's trying to make a new kind of flying carpet, since the last versions were banned. Oh god. I will never figure this out.
I don't know why it's become so obsessive for me, but just the intent on his face, oh his faceā¦.*cough* um, as he looks through books and how desperate he is when he talks about getting his mother to come around, it just makes me want to help him. It's not so much about finding out what he's up to, even though I want to know, just more why it's so important to him.
So this Monday there I was, just in the way back of the library in the biography section, peering over at Draco, two rows over. He had been looking paler and paler lately, and almost never leaves the library. He was so intent on reading his books however, he didn't even realize it when I stood there gaping at him.
He had been snappy and way less arrogant lately, like he lost faith in himself. He almost has a desperate look about him. It was depressing to see.
So of course he was reading a book again, and I was sure it would be about transportation, or ways to roam or something like that. But no. The title is Best Hidden Curses, Where to Find Them. What the heck?
He was flipping violently through he pages with a scary look on his face. Suddenly he stopped and put his finger on something in the middle of the page. He dropped the book so it falls onto the page he had open, and he runs out of the library.
I quickly went over to the book and pick it up. Right there in the center of the page was a necklace, a beautiful turquoise necklace with stones, and underneath it read; One touch causes death, found in Borgin and Burkes, Hogsmeade Village.
I was in shock. Why would he need this necklace? Would cause death with one touch? What? I never thought he was doing something dangerous, that was definitely not was what I was expecting. I had no idea what to do. Well it's not like I knew he was going to get the necklace, or why he was so interested in it. There was no reason to suspect he would use it. I was overreacting for sure. Right?
A/N well, she doesn't know, she didn't read Half Blood Prince, lol. =] Like? Dislike? I want to know! Please tell me! Give me tips! Say if something bugged you! That is how I get better! Anyway thanks for reading and as always, xoxo.
