Title: Love Hurts
Author: Me duh...
Chapter 4: Friends fighting Friends and a very pissed Flint
Serena stared at Mina and Harry as they walked in. "I'm sorry Mina, for everything." She muttered. A short mean sounding laugh was heard. "Sorry? Wow, you're able to say that word?" An all too familiar voice taunted her. "God Malfoy what in the Hell could you possibly want now!" She snapped becoming very annoyed.
"Settle down, I'm here to find out information and only that. And you know me I get everything that I want, so no use arguing. The information's going to come out of you sooner or later." Draco said on behalf of his defence. "Anyways you should save that anger for Pansy." He added on just to see her face turn a shade of red from anger.
"About what?" She demanded knowing very well that what he said was true. If he really wanted to get information out of her, he would no matter how hard she would protest. "Well, for starters I've been watching you since we broke up and the way you act is just incrediable. It's great to see you stick up for yourself, to fight, to yell, everything about you is just diffrent now." Draco explained.
"Yeah so what's your point?" Serena said immediatly after her finsihed his last sentence. "My point is Serena, that I don't think I've ever been more attracted to you." Draco hissed in a whisper, but Serena heard it.
"Well, that's your problem. You have Pansy remember? How good that mini skirt looks on her. So, leave me be already." Serena tried to stay clam, but was failing. "If you acted the way you do now I wouldn't even look at someone else-" Before Draco could finished Serena cut him off in pure anger and hurt. "-OH so now I'm good enough for you, but two days ago I wasn't?" She screamed.
"Well, have you seen the way you act lately? I think it's a huge improvement. Damn, it makes you seem so much more confident." He defended himself, an expressionless mask held on his face. Draco continued to look Serena in the eyes, but she advoided him. She didn't want to look into his eyes, she knew that if she did, she would break down. And she vowed to herself that she would not break to Draco no matter what.
"Once again Malfoy-" Serena started as she beagn to walked towards him, but towards the side of him. "Too bad." She finished as she walked right past him. As if on impulse Draco turned to yell at her. "I'm not down talking yet, so don't you dare turn your back on a Malfoy!" "Too bad Malfoy I'm done listening!" Serena yelled as she continued to walk on.
Draco ran after her and grabbed her wrist in a tight grip. She tried to fight to get her wrist free, but his iron like grip wouldn't budge. He just stood there staring at her, waiting for her to give up, and to see that it was pointless. She saw the look in his eyes when she turned around. She let out a heavy sigh in defeat.
"Fine, what do you want to talk about?" She gave into his stubborn attitude, which caused him to smirk in triumph. "I want to talk to you about this thing going on between you and Flint, but not here. We can talk on the cliff that oversees the lake. Meet me there in 5-7 mineuts." Draco ordered as he let go of her wrist and walked off.
She only nodded for an answer and went directly to the cliff that oversees the the lake. She sat down, and no sooner that she sat down Draco joined her. Without waisting time Serena snapped at him. "Say what you need to say and then stay the hell away from me. You hurt me enough as it is alright!"
Malfoy nodded his head. "Well, you can start by explaining why you're with one of my friends-" "-I don't think the two of you are friends-" "Becuase of you! It's all your fault why-" Draco and Serena continued to cut each other off before the other finished the sentence.
"Oh, shove it Malfoy. I can't help it if you're jealous. But you'll have to deal with it, just like I have to deal with Pansy." Serena said as calmly as she could, which wasn't as calm as she hoped. She then remembered how good it felt to punch that bitch. She smiled to herself and the happy memory.
"Harry, I don't like leaving Serena outside with Draco. You know we saw him walking out there, he'll probably hurt her or-" Before Mina could finish her sentenceHarry wrapped his invisable cloak around them. "Let's go spy then." He suggested and they walked down the stairs and out of Hogwarts to go find Serena and maybe Draco. Little did they know that they had a follower.
But by the time they found them Serena was having an outburst on Draco. "If you must know, there is nothing going on between Marcus and I. He just invaded me in my depressed state, and brought me out of it. Happy now! So, to your question I am not completely over you yet. But as soon as I get away from you the better it will seem!" She flared at Draco.
At this outburst, just the right outburst he was looking for he smirked his oh-so-famous smirk. Yep, answers my questions, oh look it's Flint to the rescue." He taunted as he got up and walked away upon seeing Flint behind a tree. Flint shoved past Draco and walked up to Serena.
"So, not over him yet?" He teased. "Shut up Flint." "Aw aw augh...better be nice to me. Remember out little deal? Anyways this could be a chance for us to get to know each other better." Flint cut her off right away while shaking his finger. Serena scuffed and stood up.
"Ha, like I want to get to know you. How I forgot that you and Malfoy are friends is beyond me! But, I won't forget again. So here it is the DADA essay you needed to give to Draco. Take it, he'll get it one way or another! He always does!" She screamed as she shoved the parchment in his hand.
She stormed off towards the castle, but tripped over something. She swore she heard a giggle, but shoved it off. With that she went into Hogwarts more steamed than ever. Flint crumpled up the parchment and walked after Serena pondering what Draco said to her that got her so upset.
Before he left and reached out and grabbed the cloak off the two Gryffindors, and looked directly at them. He then got directly in their faces. Mina could see her reflection in his eyes as he stared at him. "Utter a single word you heard and I'll make you refret it." He hissed and walked in.
Flint went directly to his room once he got inside. He flung the door to his room open and set a look at Draco sitting in a chair. "What the hell did you say to her?" He seethed. "Aw, you're upset. I only told her what she needed to hear." Draco taunted. Flint walked up to him and shoved him off his chair, sending the chair flying across the room. "What did you tell her?" Flint demanded again.
Draco held up his hands while saying, "Easy, easy killer, I only said that we were friends, even with her between us so we could compromise. And we will, you see I know about that little note." Draco said calmly as he picked up his chair and sat back down in it.
"How?" Flint questioned the 'friend' before him. "Well, if you were dating Serena for a few months you would learn that she wrote her feelings down. She knows knows this, and you read that horrid note, so she figured that you would tell me all about the note since we're still friends." He explained a expression of confiedence written all over his face.
"And she believed you?" Marcus asked not fully believeing him. At this Draco almost seemed to jump up. "Oh of course she did. You even heard for yourself that she has not gotten over me. So, she would believe almost anything I say that comes close to her understanding." He stated smugly and arrogently.
"Now, I believe you have her eassy that I need t copy down for the next ime I have DADA. Oh, and on a side note, if you still wish for her to go to your home using that blackmail you better stay away from her. Otherwise you won't have blackmail for long." Malfoy ordered as he grabbed the crumpled parchment from Flint.
No more way spoken between the two. Soon the lights were turned off, but Flint could hear Pansy and Serena go at it. Soon, a stomping noise echoed the halls then there was silence except Pansy's cries of pain. " Go to sleep Flint." Draco ordered once again. "You should take your own advise Malfoy." Marcus seethed through his teeth. He heard Draco chortle, but ignored it and forced himself to sleep.
When morning came around Flint went to go find Serena, but she was nowhere to be found in the Slytherin Common Room. He sighed and went to go take a cold shower, due to Malfoy taking up all the hot water. "That little shit." Marcus muttered to himself. "Talking to yourself again huh?" Draco taunted as he came out from the room fuklly dressed. "No, I was talking about you to my imagination, you see we're plotting aginst you." Flint said thickly as he went into the shower room.
"Serena! Hey are you?" Mina began to question but silenced herself at Serena's stare. "Bad night is all. I didn't feel like fighting with that shirking bitch so I slept on the couch after I slapped her." Serena answered. "Well do you want to-" "No Mina, I'm not hungary, but I could join you outside while you eat." Serena intrrupted Mina again.
Mina quickly went to grab some food and walked outside with Serena. "Look Mina I'm sorry. My emotions are going wild, and I;m not sure how much moreI can take of Draco. It's so confusing, first he says he didn't like me, then he said he's more attracted to me that ever, and now...augh i just don't know.
Then there's Flint. I don't know what I was thinking with him! Mina, I think I'm going mad." Serena dropped all of her problems on her best friend. Mina patted her shoulder. "It'll be alright. Vacation is coming up, well it starts tomrrow actually. Well you won't have to see either one of them for a full week!" Mina said cheerly.
Serena nodded knowing very well she was going to be going to Marcus' house over vacation. "Well, I think we should head in now." Mina broke Serena's train of thought and stood up. Just as Serena was about to stand up, a pair of pale hands rested on her shoulders and released a crumpled parchment. "Thanks, I couldn't have finished it without you." Draco Malfoy teased and walked off.
"Hey Malfoy! Leave her alone already, or are you one of thoes revenge seeking, jealous, stalker types of guy?" Mina yelled after Malfoy's retreating form. At this unusal outburst Draco turned on his heel, almost causing Mina to take a step back. The two seemed to have a stare down, and very long stare down according to Serena.
"Be careful of what you say mudblood. You say too much and you'll get yourself in more trouble that you can imagine." He warned softly yet a tone of danger in his voice was there. He watched as Serena flitched at him calling that filthy Gryffindor a mudblood, and smirked inside.
"Stay the hell away from me Malfoy, you and Flint." Serena seethed as her face scruched up in anger. Malfoy only smiled at Serena. "Sure Sere I'll give Flint your message. Oh, I do hope you had fun sleeping on the couch, it may be you bed for the rest of the time." He taunted her and turned back around to walk in.
Serena growled and walked in. Malfoy turned around, thinking he was going to get yelled at again by Serena, but she only shoved past him. Following her was a worried Mina. "Serena, wair up, you shouldn't let him get on your nerves like that." She called over her best friend.
Draco sneered when he heard this. So, he was ginally getting on her nerves. Good.
Mina followed Serena into a secret passage way. "Mina, I just need-" "What you need to do is to stick up for yourself more Serena! Don't let Draco get to you." Mina cut her off. "No, you don't get it! I've tried the best I can for sticking up for myself! It'll never be any diffrent. It's not just Draco either. It's Flint and Parkinson also. I know you want to help, but you can't.
This is a fight between my house memeber and myself. I let you straighten things out with Harry, Ron, and Hermione so let me do the same. If you get involved you'll only make it worse." Serena screamed out against Mina.
"Okay, okay Serena I'll stay out. I...well it just seems that whenever we talk we end up fighting." Mina whispered sadly. "Becuase you won't let me handle my problems on my own. That is what I need to do, so back off. Okay?" Serena said in a regular tone, but a softness etched around it.
Before another word could be spoken bells rang all over. "Shit! Classes!" Mina and Serena both cursed. Immeditaly thjey took off running though the Hogwarts halls and down the stairs. "Bye Serena!" MIna called as she rounded a diffrent cornor than Serena.
Serena didn't even answer, she just kept running. She ran down into the dungeons classroom, and skidded into her seat. A very amused potions teacher chuckled. "30 seconds later Ms. Tuskino and you would have been late. Try to get down here sooner." Prof. Snape said seriously.
"S-sorry P-p-p-prof. Sn-Snape." Serena huffed while trying to catch her breath. "Well, Serena's out of breath state is a perfect example of what potion we will be making. It is a potion that boosts up your energy and makes it easier for you to breath while running. Now, Ms. Tuskino how far did you run to get down here on time?" Prof. Snape expalined then questioned Serena.
"The Astromeny Tower...stupid stairs..." Serena huffed out and mummbled. "Talking with Ms. Aino I suppose."
Snape muttered. The Slytherins all snickered and Serena nodded. "Not a crime." She said under her breath. Snape looked as if her heard it, but didn't say anything.
"Well, the ingrediants for the potion are on the board, and we have limited ingrediants for this so partner up." Snape explained. Pansy leetched onto Malfoy's arm, but he shoved her off and sat next to Serena. "I'd rather drop down dead beforeI partner up with you Malfoy." Serena seether as she stood up.
Harry and Ron partnered up. Hermion was going to go with Neville, but Prof. Snape put an end to that. Serena quickly say next to Neville. "You don't mind if we partner up do you?" She asked him. Out of hear he shook his head. Hermione went and sat down by another Gryffindor. Draco shot a death glare at Serena for refusing him and sat back down with Pansy.
At this she shriked in joy and latched onto his arm again. "You all may." Snape stopped dead in his sentence as he saw a Slytherin, one of the best in potions paried up with a Gryffindor one of the worst. "Begin." He managed to choke out. Neville looked at the Slytherin by his side. "Listen I'm not very-" He stuttered slightly, but Serena cut him off. "It's okay I'm a pro at it. And there's no need to be afraid of me, I'm not like most Slytherins. My best friend is in Gryffindor, oh yeah I'm Serena." She introduced herself to Neville. He nodded and the tension seemed to evaporate.
"Let's see a drop of vampire sweat, but can they do that I mean they're dead and the dead doesn't sweat. Oh well, a tail of a lizard, and eww a wing of a pixie. How cruel." Serena muttered the list of ingrediants they needed. She went to the bakc of the room to gather them.
Back there wa Draco and Harry as well. "Hey Harry." Snere said politely while ignoring Draco completely as she searched. "That was a nice thing you did for Neville." Harry said quietly. "Well, he seemed terrified, and no one should be that frightened in school." Serena answered.
As this converstation went on, it steamed Malfoy off more and more. First she cheered as loud as possible for Flint, then she choose to lower her status as a Slytherin to sit and work beside a Gryffindor. Sure he knew he was being a pain to her, but he never expected her to lower her status. And what was even lower was that she was talking to Potter like they were friends! This enraged him deeply.
"Hey Serena do you know where a wing of a pixie is in here?" Harry asked. Serena nodded her head. She went on ther tip toes and reached as high as she could. She could bairly touch the bottle, but one of her fingers tilted it and it fell down and she caught it. "Here." She stated as she handed him awing and grabbed herself one. She went to go put it back up, but Malfoy grabbed her arm.
She stared at him while he grabbed the bottle, took a wing out, and put it back on the high shelf like it was no big deal for him. That caused her to glare at him, but he only smirked as he let go of her arm. But on the inside Malfoy wanted to yell and blow up at the girl infornt of him.
She quickly went and sat down with Neville. As she added the ingrediants she explained to Neville how to stir. After eveything was in and it was stired properly Serena let the potion boil. Others around her seemed to have finished as well. Snape went around the room checking the potions.
He first stopped at Malfoy's. " Perfect as usual. Potter and Weasly the potion is suppose to be lavander not dark purple. Serena absolutly perfect with no help from-" Before Snape could finish Serena cut him off. "Neville helped me sir." Snape only stared at her then he walked on.
He checked Hermione's trying to find one mistake but couldn't find anything so he didn't say anything. "Class dismissed." He said as he finished looking over the potions. Everyone was happy to get out of that room. "Thanks for sticking up for me Serena." Neville whispered and walked with the golden trio.
Serena smiled, then frowned as she heard Malfoy bad mouthing her to Pansy and his goons. She tried to ignore it as much as possible and continued to her next class. The day seemd to fly by and soon night fell upon Hogwarts. Four Slytheirns walked among the first floor and went to Prof. McGonagall's room for detention.
