Me; Second chapter!! *does my happy dance*
Draco: Don't be too happy. You still have to write the rest of the story. *smirks*
Me; *pouts* party pooper...
Draco; it's my job! *smiles innocently*
Me; Fine be that way! No more close ups for you in this story! Ok! Here's Chapter 2!! Enjoy!
Ugh…who turned the light on this early in the morning?! I thought as I woke up slowly from the light coming between the drapes surrounding my four post bed.
The sound coming from the common room answered my question. David Ryder and Luke Summerton.
Those idiotic imbeciles! I thought, this was their third time leaving the lights on this week! Don't they know that normal people don't wake up this early?!
I grumbled as I got up and began getting ready for the day, turning the heat up to warm the cold dormitories.
"Those stupid founders…of course they would put the Slytherin's in the dungeons…I blame Gryffindor," I said with a grimace as I realized that there was no more hot water left. My eye twitched.
"RYDER! SUMMERTON!"
The common room suddenly became quiet. Everyone knows what Cain Penncraft sounds like when he got angry, and he definitely sounded angry.
I heard shuffling towards the door and knew that the evil bastards had come to see what I was so angry about.
"Yes Cain…?" I head David ask from behind the door, I also heard another set of breathing and I knew that Luke was there as well.
"Please, come in and sit." I said in a sickenly sweet voice with a cheery smile on my face.
They went to their respected beds and sat on them waiting to hear what I had to say. They both looked quite relaxed.
Probably thinking that I'm not mad at them… Cain thought devilishly.
I pointed towards the lights around the room. They were all on.
"Do you know who turned these very very bright lights on at 4:00 am?"
They froze. They knew who it was…it was them. And they also knew that he knew who turned the lights on. They both came to the same conclusion, and at the same time. How convenient.
I smirked. Oh how I loved seeing their terrified faces this early in the morning…
"Well?" I asked, waiting for their answers.
"Ummm…," Luke fidgeted with the covers on the bed while David looked down at the dark green rug on the floor.
"Hmmm?" I said while picking out the clothes I would be wearing for the day; a dark green button up shirt, black slacks, black socks, and my favourite silver chain necklace from which a silver baby dragon fang hung from; even though it was from a baby dragon it was still the size of a large dog's fang.
"Well you see umm m-me and David…well we woke up early today an-and we kind of forgot to turn the lights back off…"
I smirked evilly, although they couldn't see it due to the fact that I was turned away from them, "Is this true David?" I asked with fake shock in my voice. I know, I'm such a great actor, aren't I? Please, control yourselves, save the applause for later.
David nodded his head, still looking down at the rug. Is there something wrong with the damn rug?! I asked myself angrily, wondering why the hell he wasn't looking up at him.
"I see…" I started off nicely, "how many times have I told you not to-" I was cut off by someone barging through the open the door.
"Oh for Merlin's sake, give them a break Cain!" I heard the person snarl, "You really are over dramatic sometimes, you know?"
"Will you shut the hell up Darien?!" I turned to Darien Monroe, a seventh year here at Hogwarts which therefore makes him my superior. I hated that fact.
Who gave him permission to enter OUR dorms!? I thought while standing to my full height. If there was going to be a fight he was going to make sure he would win before it began.
Darien smirked and began taking out his wand, "I'd watch your tongue Penncraft…Daddy isn't going to come save you this time…"
I snarled, "What a coward you are, to have to threaten me with that crap!" I took out my wand and ran over in my head all the spells I knew that would cause pain and misery. This was quite a lot for your information.
"Stop this instance…"
Crap! I looked toward the door and saw our Head of House standing there looking at us all in pure annoyance.
Draco Malfoy looked at his students with a heavy scowl on his face, 'These children are so not good for my health,' Malfoy thought, 'Now I know why Severus hated this job…'
"But professor," I pointed at Monroe, "he started this!" I said with hope that he would listen to my plea.
"I don't give a damn who started this!" Draco Malfoy, Head of the Slytherin House, said with a glare towards me and Monroe.
I looked at Monroe who was smirking, then at David and Luke. They both seemed scared to death.
"Everyone leave! Now!" Malfoy shouted at us, "Except for you Mr. Penncraft…I need to talk to you about something a certain Headmaster was telling me last night…" If looks could kill, then I would be on my way to the grave.
Everyone shuffled out of the room, except of course Darien Monroe. He looked at me as if I were mere trash; but unfortunately for him Malfoy caught the look.
"Monroe!" Malfoy barked, "I will see you after I'm done with Penncraft."
I covered my smirk, fearing Malfoy would see it.
Professor Malfoy turned to me once Monroe left the room, looking at me with inquisitive deep gray eyes, "Now Penncraft…I got the Headmaster's version of your little…" he paused trying to find the correct word, "…tussle with Mr. Avis. But I would be oh so grateful if you would give me your view on this unfortunate event." He finished with some sarcasm as he sat down on the couch, crossing his arms and giving me a chance to gather my thoughts.
"Well professor I'm sure the headmaster informed you already, but Avis and I have never gotten along-"
"I'm not blind Penncraft." He interrupted, "I see how you act around him and how he acts around you." He said with a smirk.
"Exactly my point, sir." I said with as much hate as I could muster, "We have never gotten along, and I honestly don't see us doing so in the future."
"Yes…" Malfoy had a far off look in his eyes as he twiddled with his ring on his right hand, "You remind me very much of myself when I was your age." He smirked, but it wasn't a cold smirk, it looked as if he was amused about something.
Interesting. I thought, he never seemed amused unless he's talking about…
"Here I have a little story to tell you about." He leaned forward, "When I first came here to Hogwarts, I met a very annoying brat; his name was Harry Potter."
I gaped. Harry Potter? Why was he talking about his…?
"No, this was before we became best friends." He smiled, knowing what I was thinking about. "No, before we were friends we were enemies. You can ask any teacher here if you want. They know very well what I'm talking about."
I gulped and nodded for him to continue.
"As a proud Malfoy I had asked him for his friendship, thinking that if I could befriend him then I could become the most powerful wizard at Hogwarts, besides Albus Dumbledore of course," he sighed and shook his head in annoyance.
"Anyway, he denied it. I was mad. I was beyond mad, I was furious! I thought, 'how dare he deny a Malfoy's friendship!' He was the first to ever do that to me, so I sought my revenge. Every year of our schooling together I would find ways to insult him and his friends."
"But, professor, I don't think you realize how much I hate Avis. We--"
Malfoy gave me a strange look. "Shut up. You don't know true hate. You're too young to realize what raw hate for someone feels like." With that he stood up and made for the door.
"I think you'll understand sooner or later what I'm trying to tell you now…" with that he walked out the door and closed it behind him gently.
What the hell… was that really Draco Malfoy? I asked myself.
I looked around the room and gathered the stuff I would need for my classes and put them in my bag. Might as well get some breakfast, just as I thought this I heard my stomach growl. I raised my eyebrow curiously and poked my stomach. It growled again.
"Well then." I said silently to myself and opened the door and began going up the stairs to the common room.
I was greeted by an empty room. I looked at the clock and cursed.
Damn you Malfoy! You're going to make me miss breakfast!
And with that I ran to the dining hall.
