chapter 4:
Draco's flame of fury soon grew to a bonfire inside of him. He was having enough with that slut, Pansy. The only reason he dated her last year was because Pansy asked him out last year and she was interesting. They were no new girls anyway. *Fuck Pansy* he thought to himself.
Annette also was getting quite annoyed with the way Pansy was acting that moment. " Pansy, just shut up" she said. By now Annette was out of Draco's arms and on the other chair.
"Annette, remember what I told you? Best be careful Parkington" threatened Pansy.
"Pansy, what the hell do you want. You know I don't like you anymore. Quit acting like we're boyfriend and girlfriend" yelled Draco.
"Yes but Draco, we did-"
"I never liked you Pansy. I didn't want to stop being popular so when you asked me, I felt forced to say yes."
"Malfoy, you git! You son of a bitch. Do you think Parkington here would be better than me. She's not even popular for a real reason. She's just new. Tell me Malfoy, do you think that whore would compare to me?" asked an angry Pansy.
Annette saw Draco's eyes were lit with fire. The glare of the fire made his eyes seem on fire for real. He was staring at Pansy like he would never forgive her for saying that.
"What Malfoy? I am being serious bout this answer."
"I don't need to answer to your silly nonreasonable questions Parkinson" he said as he turned around with anger and stomped up the mens dormitory hall. When he was on balcony that could be seen from the commons room, he looked down at the girl he was in love with. The was no expression on his face when she looked up at him. He quickly turned back to his room.
"Stage one" said Pansy with an evil look on her face and walked back to the dorm followed by Annette.
*************************************************
Next morning was a delicious breakfast. She sat in her usual spot next to Jessica and across from Draco. "Why goodmorning Parkington" said Draco. Annetet didn't know what to do. Normally she glared at him or something, but since they snogged last night, she didnt know what to do.
"Why good morning Malfoy" she said using the same tone. Draco tried holding back his smile and quickly ate a piece of French Toast before his smile would appear. Jessica and Annette then went back to their dorm, took a shower and went to their DADA class. Professor Fluer was giving everyone a quiz that day.
Finally mail came. Annette got a letter th wasnt from her parents. It was from her Aunt Sharon who moved to Ireland. She used to spend every summer at her house. Aunt Sharon didn't share the same attitude as her brother or sisters. She was very sweet. The letter read,
IDear Annette,
My how you have grown. You are now going to the school I used to go to. It really is a great school. I am here in England and I am sad to inform you that your mother and father were involved in a very severe car accident. Your mother, being as she was, was drunk and was driving my brother to the store when she took a crazy u-turn and crashed into a big truck full of leftover pumpkins. You will not be able to come spend christmas with me this year sadly as I was looking forward to it. Your mother and father are in the hospital and may not be able to get out til after christmas, besides, its a muggle hospital and they won't allow him in the non-magic ones.
I am very sorry my dear,
Aunt Sharon./i
Annette felt grief stricken. She never thought she would ever be sad for her cursed parents. But she did, they were her parents. She was more sad though that she wouldn't be seeing her Aunt Sharon, who knew how to parent more than her sister-in-law, and she didn't even have children.
Jessica saw the grief in her best friend's eyes. " Annette, whats the matter? You seem sad."
"My parents, they are in the hospital. Here read the letter" she handed her the letter. " I won't be seeing my Aunt Sharon either, shes more of a mum to me than my own drunk mum."
"But Annette, I thought you said you hated your parents?" she asked as she read the paper.
"Yeah, but I don't know. I guess I still have memories about when I was little and my family all got along. Before dad started beating mum and she became a drunk."
"Well Annette, you know that my parents would be happy to have you for christmas" said Jessie.
Annette eyes were filling with tears. " Thanks Jessie. That's probably the nicest thing someone has done for me" she smiled and they hugged.
" Well thats what friends are for Annette" she smiled.
" aw, look at this girly cuddlefest." said a voice behind them. It was Ron Weasley, a gryffindor.
"Weasley, what do you want you red haired rat? I thought you were a coward Weasley? Go back to your table" said Draco coldy.
"n..no M..malfoy. I just wanted to talk to Annette for a moment" he answered.
" Weasley, go and talk with your own ki-"
" Draco, I can choose if I want to talk to him or not" interupted Annette. She walked up and Draco eyed her as she went to the door of the room with Ron as they met up with Harry and Hermione. Jessica was staring at Draco with her "stop getting into her business, Malfoy" type of look. He saw her looking at him and he made a face and talked to his two monstrous friends.
" Oh hey Hermione, Harry, Ron. Whats up?" she asked.
" Well, we know you don't like us or want to be seen with us but we wanted to know about" Harry paused, " Malfoy."
"What made you think I don't want to be seen with you?" asked Annette.
"Well you are, well, going out with Malfoy aren't you?" asked Hermione.
"What? No. but what do you want to know."
"Oh well, rumors are spread that you are. But now we know its not true. But we wanted to know, since you talk to him, if you could tell him to stop being so rude to the gryffindors. We have had enouph of his shrewd remarks and other crap. He is always poisoning Ron's potions too and that gets him into trouble" said Harry.
"Oh, well ok, I'll try. It's not that easy talking to him about regular stuff like that. He only bumps into me in the halls and acts like he is so cool... That bugger is so egotistical-you already know that though being here so many years." They nodded and left for their tables.
" Annette what did that Gryffindor want?" asked Draco angrily.
"Nothing. Quit getting into my business Malfoy, you are certainly acting like my father" she snapped. He had a look of disdain on his face. He remembered what she told him about her dad last night. She saw the embarrasment on her face and she felt ashamed of her attitude. So she made a face like she was only kidding.
*********************************************************************
Lunchtime wasn't that fun that day. It was the second sign that She knew Pansy meant war last night. She was walking with Jessica to her seat and Pansy stuck her strong former quidditch leg out and tripped Annette. Though she didnt fall on her face because her friend was there to keep her from falling. Jessica knew what Pansy was up to because during their 3rd class Annette told her about her night.
That night Annette was at a table in the commons room and was writing to her Aunt Sharon about spending christmas break with her best friend and to send presents there if she has any. Jessica came walking up and she looked mad.
