Electricity - Draco Malfoy Fanfiction

Chapter Three

Janet stood in line, jittering because she was too excited to contain herself. "Now, what's a little lady like yourself doing out here?" Geraldo(I know, not accurate. xD), the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain, looked at her with teasingly flirtatious eyes.

She smiled back at him. "I'd like tryout for Seeker, if that's alright with you." All of the other House's teams had their tryouts today, and they all met in the field. It was that way so it would be fair; no surprises during the first match.

"Alright sweetheart. Catch it if you can." He released the Golden Snitch and her eyes darted back and forth, watching the gold ball jerk further away. "Go!" He called.

And she was in the air. Her Nimbus 2000 speed like a dart through the air. She pressed her body closer the her broom, causing it to accelerate more quickly. The ball was in her sight, and it had no chance of escape. Within mere moments, it was in her hand and she spiraled to the ground, showing off her ability further. She hopped to the ground lightly, then turned to see a stunned crowd. "How was that?" She asked in her light voice.

"That was-I mean-" he paused, taking a deep breath. "You're in." He choked out.

"Really? Fantastic! When's the first practice?"

"Seriously?!" Angela exclaimed. "You're the youngest Seeker in a century!"

"Not necessarily; Harry Potter also made in in." She frowned, feeling as though her thunder had been stolen.

"Still, it's awesome! I can't wait to see your first game!" Janet smiled as Angela pat her on the back with enthusiasm.

"Hey," Janet turned her head to eye Draco Malfoy. "I heard you made it onto the Quidditch team."

Janet's lip curled into a small smile. "Really now?" She turned back to her food. "Come to congratulate me?" She sipped her pumpkin juice.

He made a face. "No, I was wondering how you did it. Did you bribe them?"

She sighed. "No, I simply love Quidditch and they found me talented enough to be their Seeker. Is that really too farfetched an idea?" She turned to him excitedly. "Perhaps we could play a game?"

His lips pursed, as if he was put off by the idea. "Maybe later." Or he was too busy. "I have things to do today."

She smiled. "If it's homework, I may be able to help. I'm very good at some subjects." She frowned. "Can't be of help to you if it's Charms or Herbology though."

"Actually, it's Defense Against The Dark Arts." He sighed. "I don't need help." And he stalked off.

Janet shrugged and turned back to her plate. "Wait a second," Angela looked incredibly confused. "Since when are you and Malfoy so buddy-buddy?"

Janet swallowed. "Draco Malfoy?" Cho and Angela gave her a look like; who else? "Oh, I wouldn't say we're buddies, he just gave up trying to get to me. I'm not easily effected."

Cho shook her head. "Malfoy doesn't give up. Also," She eyed Janet like she wasn't her best friend. "You guys seem to get along. It's… weird." She made a face.

"Oh!" Janet remembered something. "Professor Trelawney explained it once…" She remembered it well, as it had been quite intriguing. Her favorite subject.

"Today we'll be learning about different auras! You two!" The bug-eyed, slightly eccentric teacher made her way over to Janet, who sat next to Draco Malfoy. She smiled widely. "This is a great example. Stand up, if you will."

Draco Malfoy made a face as he stood, but Janet eagerly hopped up. "Take Mister Malfoy for example, he has an Ice aura. Ice is cold and distant, but observant. Ice is it's own element, quite unlike any other. Ice can be protective, and very powerful. Most people would shy away from this type, but Miss Williams over there, now, she's Electric. She either draws people in, or repels them, depending on their aura types. The reason for that is her aura is very jumpy, curious and changing. Mister Malfoy here, as an ice element, is immune to her natural, well, sparks we'll call them. At the same time, ice is part water, which is what makes her more interesting. Opposites in both ways, she is fire, he is water, she is wind, he is stone. The contrast can be both deadly and compatible. These two," She smiled fondly at them. "Would make fantastic friends and business partners!" She giddily clapped her hands together.

"Now, some other elements…" She searched around the room, Janet and Draco having been allowed to sit. "Ah! Mister Potter, if you please." He begrudgingly stood, clearly this was not his favorite subject. "Mister Potter here is a fire element, the direct opposite of Mister Malfoy. Fire is courageous, valiant, and often draws misfortune to oneself."

Potter rolled his eyes as he sat, Weasley next. "Mister Weasley here, he and Mister Potter make up Williams. Fire and Wind." She smiled back at Janet. She had quickly become her favorite student as she saw a natural talent for Divination in her. "Wind," She turned back to Weasley. "Is always changing, at times can be cowardice, but mostly it is an assisting element. Wind is also brash, which can at times be good, and at times be bad."

She turned her attention to Granger with a subtle glare. They did not get along at any level. "Miss Granger, she is an Earth element. Unmoving, unchanging, yet naturally wise. Not much get's past Earth." She seemed to admit every good quality with distaste.

She looked to the clock. "Oh, unfortunately our time is up. However!" She called out to the fleeing students. "Tomorrow, I'll show each of you your element!"

"That's odd, isn't it?" Janet looked to Draco Malfoy, who was avoiding eye contact. "I think it's quite interesting. I'm an Electric!" She smiled brightly. "I like the sound of it. Do you like your element, Draco Malfoy?"

He scoffed. "Stupid. Nothing but superstition." He glared at the stairs as they walked.

Janet frowned. "Well, personally, I think it's amazing. Maybe that's why you never get to me, hmm?" She smiled mischievously up at him. He ignored her the rest of the way.

"Maybe that's why?" Janet explained. Angela rolled her eyes and Cho sighed. They weren't believers. "Well, it's my theory." she frowned. "I still don't understand what's so bad with getting along with him though."

Cho glared at her in disbelief. "You must be joking!" she shook her head. "He is the biggest ass in this entire place. He's the worst of the worst!"

Janet looked at her plate. "Nobody's perfect. Besides, what he does isn't who he is. After all, I kill plants. Does that mean I hate nature? No, I just suck at raising plants. Maybe he's just not so good with people." She yawned. "Anyway, I'm off to bed. All this talk about how people suck is tiring me out."
