The Sick Puppy
Danny had had about all she could stand of her Slytherin
Shadow, Draco Malfoy.
He and his goons followed her whenever they got the
ooprtunity, mostly she ignored them. Which sadly only
resulted in their trying harder to get her attentions.
"Join us for Dinner at our side of the Table Danny." Malfoy would purr.
"Id rather eat with a Gryffindor. " She would sneer at him. Of course this grew only to infuriate the young Malfoy lord, perversely Danny enjoyed it, but lately it was growing tiresome.
"You'll be accepted better if you were on my arm." Malfoy would murmur to her in class. To which she would reply. "What did you say Draco? You have a rash on your Ass? Im sure Madam Pomfrey has something for that, poor dear.."
She'd pat his arm absently and return to her books, as the entire class laughed at him...Professor Magonagal would smirk and shaked her head.
"5 points from Slytherin for such bad use of Language Danny." To which Danny would flash her Professor a winning smile and sigh. "Awwww...shit!" Minerva would only smile brighter. "5 More points." To which Danny would clamp her mouth shut, and burry her face in her arms to suppress her laughter.
Draco on the other hand vowed revenge upon the cocky Native American.
Weeks went by and it seemed that Draco had given up on pestering her, which was just as well, she was engrossed in a book on Advanced Potions in the huge window Archway of the second story...just overlooking the Courtyard of the school.
"Well well well If it isnt the Resident Hogwarts Squwa (sp?).." Danny calmly closed her book and her expression turned to stone. "What do you want you insignificant little cocksucker?" Draco fummed and took a threatening step towards her.
"How DARE you speak to me like that?" She turned and glared at him. "I'll speak to you anyway I like you InsignifiCUNT, maggot."
Malfoy lunged, and Danny had little time to react. He shoved her out of the window, and she and her book, went tumbling out of the window.
Severus Snape had been walking the Courtyard grounds, watching the students. This was his most hated chore, where he had to either break up the large groups of Students before they caused any trouble, or sepeate students who got too 'chummy' for his tastes.
His eye caught a glimmer of sliver on the second story, and he looked up, to see Danny sitting in the Archway window, glaring Angrily at the ground. Draco Malfoy and his cronies were behind her, clearly whatever was being said, was making the girl angry...her face hardened to stone and she turned around and said something to Draco.
The next few moments went by so slowly, just as Draco advanced upon Danny and shoved her, he had began to run towards them...But Time seemed to resume normal speed, just as he'd gotten his wand out, Danny slammed into the ground with a sickeningly loud crack to her left shoulder. She cried out in anger and pain.. "Goddamn motherfucker!!!" She curled her knees close to her and lay there panting for breath.
Severus looked up to the window to see Draco's horrified
expression. "MALFOY"
His bellow frightened most of the students and sent chills
down Draco's spine. He gestured angrily for Draco to get down
there Immediately...and crouched down beside Danny.
"Miss Silvermane, remain still Madam Pomfrey has been sent for..." But Danny shook her head, reached out with her good arm to him. "Help me up, goddamnit that hurts.." His hand gripped hers and she pulled herself to a standing position...her left arm hung at a strange angle, her shoulder was dislocated.
"Im fine, Just a dislocation..." Her eyes narrowed when Draco arrived, and she turned her eyes to Professor Snape, gripped her left bicep twisted it quickly and gave a firm jerk...once again that sickening crack and a soft pop could be heard as she put her shoulder back in place...she shoved past Snape, and advanced upon Draco so quickly, that when he'd made a grab for her, he missed.
Her left hand was around his throat, Draco sputtered, and his eyes dialated. Snape held himself back and watched, wand lifted if he needed to restrain the girl.
She leaned in closely to Draco and whispered in his ear, puncuating her speech with a shake to his throat. "If you ever, speak to me like that again, I will slit your throat, and bathe in your blood, then you'll see how 'savage' this Native can be!"
The color drained from Draco's face, and much to Severus's suprise and perverse pleasure, he had the satisfaction of seeing Malfoy lose control of his bladder and soil himself.
Danny glanced down, smirked and shoved Malfoy away. He stood there, pale as death and looking at Professor Snape.
"You are confined to the House Common room or your personal space until I decide what to do with you! Get Out of here!!!" He bellowed. Malfoy bolted like a frightened colt, and was gone behind the cobblestones.
Danny was rubbing her arm lightly when Professor Snape turned to look at her. "What happened Miss Silvermane? Why did Draco shove you out of the second story window?"
Her eyes had become unreadable, the smirk she had been wearing faded and her face was blank...her chin lifted defiantly. "Thats none of your Business."
Damned, stubborn, Infuriating Woman! He advanced upon her. "You and He are both Students in MY House, It is EVERY bit my RIGHT to know what caused this altercation!!" He practically yelled in her face.
But she stood her ground. "I dont Give a Good Goddamn,
who You are and What House Im In! Thats a Private Matter
and I will NOT discuss it with you!!!! Or Anyone for that
Matter!!" She turned on her heel and stormed away, shoving
past Madam Pomfrey. She growled in her direction.
"Simple Dislocation, Your assistance is not required.
Thank you very much!"
Snape ground his teeth in frustration, a vein bulged upon the left side of his brow, and he stormed after her. "Miss Silvermane!!!!!" He bellowed down the halls angrily.
She didnt pay much attention to where she went, she simply let her feet take her where they would, she was suprised to find herself in the Potions Classroom, she stormed into the store room and closed herself within it. She kicked the door, slammed her fist into it, cursing vividly and loudly in Cherokee...
Snape simply stood there and listened to her...arms folded outside the door, he waited until she had finished beating her fists into the door...he heard her sag against it and sink to the floor...he 'almost' thought he head her crying.
"Miss Silvermane." He growled. "Come out of my Storesroom before you break something!" To which he was stunned by her reply.
"Fuck. You!" She slamed her fist against the door to emphasize her words.
He sighed and rubbed his temples...why had they ever agreed to take this girl on in the first place?
He gestured with his wand to the Classroom door and shut it, and locked it. He decided to take a more gentle approach.
"Daninelle, Come out of my stores room." His voice was stern, but not as nasty as it had been.
Her response was sullen. "I dont want to. I hate this place, I hate everyone in it execept Uncle Al...Dumbledoor and my Teachers. The students are vile, stupid and pregidous (sp?)! "
He sighed once more. "My Classroom is locked and sealed, Come out of there and vent on the room if you must, but NOT in my Storesroom!"
There was silence to this...a resigned sigh, and he heard the door open, and Danny Slipped out of the stores room and sat on the floor just outside the door, she pulled a small wooden box from her pocket and began to roll herself a ciggarette. "Tell me I cant smoke it and I'll shove this entire box down your goddamned throat." She growled at him and folding his arms he glared at her.
"Threatening me will only get you killed Miss Silvermane." She lit the ciggarette with a happy sigh and looked at him. "Good, Do it. Kill me. Do everyone a goddamned favor and rid the world of me. "
That startled him, and he watched her as she closed her eyes, and smoked the ciggarette to its completion, she snubbed it on the floor, and shoved the remainder of it in her pocket, she did not thankfully eat it as she had the day she gifted him with his Birthday gift.
"I will ask you again, what happened with Malfoy." His voice was calmer, softer.
She did not answer, her eyes remained closed, she took a
deep breath and sighed.
"He's been following me like a sick Pathetic puppy for
weeks, and Ive ignored him. Most recently he's been
pressing me to 'be on his arm' the arrogant little shit.
Ive repeatedly told him off, and had to publiclly
humiliate him in Transfiguration to get him off my back.
I thought that would be the end of it, he'd go hide,
lick his wounds and move on. Apparently, I was wrong."
She rolled another ciggarette her eyes still closed and
lit it as she spoke...
Snape simply watched her, listening.
"So he comes up to me today...Insults me, and my heritage, I told him off, pretty nastily I might add, and he pushed me out of the window. " She opened her eyes.
"There, happy?" He shook his head.
"What did Malfoy say to you?" He rose a brow when she gritt her teeth and inhaled deeply..."Keep this up Proffessor and I will be rolling something that is NOT Tobacco. I do not wish to continue this subject any further."
He rose from his chair and crouched down infront of her, a finger reached out and tilted her chin up to look at him. "What did he call you?" He asked softly.
She furrowed her brows, tried to resist him, but he had never spoken in so soft a tone before and she gave in...sagging and looking away. "Hogwarts Resident Squwa." She whispered, her eyes had dialated and were so black they rivaled his own...she turned from him and scootted away...He was deeply disturbed at the sorrow and anguish in her eyes. "I dont want to talk about this anymore.." Her voice had becomed strained, haunted and she backed away from him...she threw open the door and fled the Classroom, leaving a very bewildered Potions Master, behind.
