Draco's POV
"Ah Draco your here early good. Now I know you and Miss Weasley do not get along but whilst you are in my detention and in my presence I expect you to behave and concentrate on the job that I give you. No complaints or arguments please. These next 3 months are going to be hard to bear as it is." Professor Snape walked back to his desk and sit down.
"If they are going to be hard for you to bear why did you bother setting it?" Draco asked in a huff. He had never gotten a detention from Snape before and he didn't understand why it had to be now and with her.
"I set it because I have to set an example, that in these hard times with the war looming we can not simply turn on each other. Add that to the fact that everyone knows that The Weasley's are doing their best to fight for the wizarding world in this war and coupled with what everyone knows of your father do you really want them to think you are following his footsteps?" He asked raising his eyebrow.
"I don't care what they think I am or am not doing. They all think that I am a death-eater in training and it keeps them from bothering me so why correct them now?"
Professor Snape was about to retort when Ginny came in.
"Mrs Weasley good you are here on time. Your first task is to take an inventory and clean up in my ingredients cabinet that should take you a few detentions I should imagine. Mr Malfoy please do the same but in the potions storage area."
Draco watched the smallest Weasley walk off into the messiest cupboard he had ever seen and looked at Snape who merely cocked his eyebrow expecting an argument. He just turned and walked towards the potions cabinet which was full of dust and dis-organised bottles. He first hit a cleaning spell at the cupboard and began to sort.
Unlike what most of the Hogwarts student body thought Draco knew how to do basic house cleaning spells and cleaning spells. He had had too. Although they had house elves to clean up the manor Lucius was a firm believer in punishment and when he was younger his punishment was cleaning his room, eventually he learnt spells to help clean the room. Sadly the punishments grew towards violence as he got older. Draco shook these thoughts from his head and continued his work.
An hour and fifteen minutes into his detention Snape walked into the cabinet where Draco was sat crossed legged working on the lower shelves having decided to work from bottom up.
"Draco I have to get this potion to Dumbledore before it fully matures I wont be gone any longer than 30 minutes make sure she does not leave the room and for god sake stay here as well."
With that he walked out of the room. Draco just sat still for a few minutes then got up and walked over to the ingredients cupboard. He could see the weaslette working away opting for a different strategy to his working from left to right rather than top to bottom.
"So Weaslette, how do you plan on making all of this up to me?" Draco said as she turned to look at him.
"What the hell are you on about now?" Ginny said turning back to her work.
"Well you got me in this detention I think you should make it up to me, after all I have to spend my valuable time here." Draco moved to sit on the desk beside her.
"I don't plan on doing anything to or for you Malfoy. It is YOUR fault we are here not mine. Now please bugger off so I can get this done. As you can see I have it harder than you, but that's not surprising considering."
"Considering what?" he replied raising his eyebrow slightly.
"Considering Snape is your death eater fathers best pal it only makes sense you would get special treatment. Frankly I am surprised he even gave you detention in the first place." She said in response.
Automatically his guards shot up along with his anger. She didn't know him from atom they had never ever had a conversation and here she was, a so called good guy of the world judging him based on theories and lies.
"You have no idea what happens in my family nor my life and it will stay that way but don't you ever presume to know me or make any judgements based on what you hear."
He knew she understood she had stepped over the mark but walked out fearing that if he had stayed and talked with her more he would have said or done something regrettable and that would have really pissed of Snape.
Snape walked in at the moment Draco sat down and checked both were working. Which is what Draco was trying to do but the red headed bint had him so wound up he couldn't think straight never mind apply is mind to such a tedious but mentally demanding job.
Bang on 9pm Draco got up off the floor nodded to Snape and walked out not wanting to spend another minute in that stuffy cupboard and in the vicinity of her. Just as he was at the door he heard Snape shout out "Same time tomorrow Draco." He heard but didn't bother responding and carried on out of the door.
As he hadn't had much to eat for lunch and had missed dinner Draco decided to go to the kitchens and get some food to take back to his room. The halls seemed deserted which suited him fine. Just as Draco thought this he smelt a vile sickly sweet smell attack his nose and looked up to see the whore of Ravenclaw. Isabelle.
"Draco I have been looking for you all over where have you been?" She asked as she sidled up to him. Draco looked her up and down, she was dressed in a skin tight purple dress that was so short he was sure as soon as she lifted he leg up more than an inch of the ground he would be able to see everything underneath the dress.
"What do you want?" Draco responded in a cold cruel voice. He had no time for girls like this, girls that threw themselves at him just to get in his pants. She had so much make up on that he was sure if she was anywhere near his silk sheets her make up would fall off like plaster coming off a wall. He hated fake girls and hated sluts more so Isabelle was the last person he wanted near his bed.
"Aw Draco don't be like that. I can see your in a bad mood how about you let me work my magic on you and make it all go away." She must have thought her smile would have convinced him but it did nothing but make him want to puke, she looked like she had pumped her lips of fat and were unnaturally large.
"I don't know what you have heard about me but I don't pay for sex." With that Draco walked off he knew it was a big insult to her and her ego but he didn't care. If a girl wanted to disrespect herself that way then she deserves to be treated with disrespect.
He walked up to the familiar portrait of the fruit bowl and tickled the pear to gain entry to the kitchens.
As always there were a huge amount of house elves cleaning around the kitchen and getting things ready for breakfast. He had just sat down when one of the elves walked up to him.
"What can I be getting you master?" The house elf said as he looked up at Draco wringing his hands nervously.
" I will have a ham sandwich, hold the tomatoes. A glass of pumpkin juice and I will have a portion of vanilla cheesecake wrapped up to go please." The elf nodded as he hurried away giving orders to the other elves to get the drink and cake ready.
The one thing he loved more than anything else was desert. Cheesecake in particular he had such a sweet tooth and he had never found anywhere with better cheesecake than Hogwarts.
The first house elf came back with the sandwich and cake wrapped up and the juice in a flask. He nodded to them and walked out.
"Ginny wake up, wake up. Your going to be late" Ginny heard the last statement and shot up. Immediately looking at her watch 8.30am.
"Dammit why didn't you wake me earlier?" Ginny shouted to Lucinda as she ran into the bathroom.
"Great!" She moaned as she pulled the brush through her hair she had less than 30 minutes to get ready and finish of her essay before Transfiguration. Rushing around she pulled her hair up in a messy bun. Jumping in the shower letting the hot water run over her, instantly easing her taut muscles. Normally she would spend 30 minutes just standing in the shower but she didn't have that luxury today. She was never late but she hadn't been able to sleep. She felt guilty about what she had said to Malfoy and it had kept her awake. She had decided to apologise to him, even if he laughed at her. It would make her fell better.
Jumping out of the shower she dried herself and got dressed quickly leaving 15 minutes to finish the summary. Somehow and Ginny didn't know how but she managed to get to class at exactly 8.59am just before McGonagall shut the door and begin class she just hoped she hadn't rushed the summary too much and ruined her work.
