Being The Slytherin Weasley: Chapter 9
"You can't ignore him Ronald, he's your best friend," I lectured as Ronald and I walked to Care of Magical Creatures.
"Why are you sticking up for him? He lied to me," he growled.
"I'm not, all I'm saying is that you're acting like a child," I sighed.
"Just stay out of it Amelie," he hissed. "Just leave it." I rolled my eyes.
"How do you think Hermione feels, Ron?" he stopped and thought about it for a minute.
"Then it's her own fault for not taking a side," he said.
I whacked him over the head with my book.
"Bloody hell, what was that for?" He clutched his head as we approached the Gryffindor's.
"For being male!" I growled. I spotted Harry standing next to Hermione; I was still allowed to talk to them, right?
"Hey Herman," I nudged my bushy haired friend. I smiled at Harry to show him that I wasn't on a side; I hope he got the message.
"Ah, look, boys, it's the champion," a voice drawled. "Got your autograph books? Better get a signature now, because I doubt he's going to be around much longer. . . . Half the Triwizard champions have died...how long d'you reckon you're going to last, Potter? Ten minutes into the first task's my bet."
Harry wouldn't die.
He wouldn't
"Don't listen to him, Harry." I whispered into his ear.
"Look, Potter's got a girlfriend" a high voice squealed. "You filthy little blood traitor." I shot Pansy a glare as she wrapped her arms around Draco, laughing.
"She's worth ten of you, Parkinson." Hermione said, crossing her arms.
Pansy snorted and replied sarcastically, "Yes and Potters going to win the tournament."
She didn't stop there, "Just you wait, Weasley. I'm sure you will be of use to the pureblood world in the future and I will need a maid."
"Oh, but think of the mess."
"What?" she sneered.
"I mean, you want me to clean your home right? Forgive me but cleaning out a pigsty wasn't what I aspired to do," I smirked.
She shrieked and pointed her wand at me. "You filthy little-"
"Blood-traitor? You need some new insults love."
"DRAKEY! Look at how this scum is treating me!" She looked at Draco, who rolled his eyes.
"Get over it, Pansy." With that he walked away.
She whirled around and glared at me, "LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID!"
"I'm pretty sure you did that yourself."
"You are going to regret this, Weasley." She growled before storming off.

I walked out of the Library, struggling under the weight of the books I held. I was planning on dropping them off to my dormitory before Herbology started. It had been a few days since Harry had been chosen and I could tell he was starting to crumble due to the insults and looks he got from our fellow students.
"Weasley" I jumped, dropping all of my books on the floor. I turned to see Draco behind me, standing there with a devilish smirk.
"Was that really necessary?"
"Yes," he said shortly. I sighed and collected my books in my arms. Draco raised an eyebrow, "You're turning into Granger."
I struggled to see him above the tower of books, "I'll take that as a compliment."
I started to walk towards the dungeons, my arms shaking under the weight of the books. WHY DID I NEED THESE!?
"You're going to end up hurting yourself," Draco sighed. "I'll take these," he took half of the pile and began walking with me.
"Thanks," I said. "You don't have to-"
"Just shut up before I change my mind," he sighed.
I nodded and walked beside him.
"Why are you being nice to me?" I asked.
"I'm not being nice to you," he said shortly.
"Carrying my books?" I said amused.
"I'm not being nice to you," he said in a tone that made me shut up. We walked in silence until we reached the common room.
"Thanks, Draco." I said, placing my books in my dorm room. Draco hovered outside, fiddling with something in his hands.
"What's that?" I said, standing beside him.
"Nothing," he placed the object in his pocket. "Nothing to do with you," he added.
"Fine, shall we go to Herbology?" He nodded and we exited the common room.
"You know, I don't think you're as nasty as you appear to be." I voiced my thoughts. He stopped and stared at me with a calculating glare.
"What makes you say that?" he asked.
"I just can't see you as the bad guy," I said.
He scoffed, "I've always been horrible to your friends, and if you weren't in Slytherin I would be horrible to you too."
"So, say for arguments sake I wasn't a Weasley. Would we have been friends?" His eyes danced with amusement.
"If you weren't a Weasley, I think we would be friends."
"Just friends," I raised an eyebrow playfully.
He chuckled, "Maybe a little more than friends."
"So do you find me attractive, Drakey?" I asked sweetly.
"Don't call me that," he said with a mock-glare. "I don't find you attractive." I pouted.
"You're so kind." I suck my tongue out at him.
"I do try," he laughed as we entered the Herbology classroom.

"I think I've just lost my appetite," I said to Theo as I saw Crabbe and Goyle shovelling food into their mouths at an alarming rate. Theo shot them a disgusted look before turning back to me.
"They haven't eaten since lunchtime," he said, amused. "McGonagall caught them with sweets earlier."
"They never stop eating; they're just like my diabolical twin." I sighed.
"Wouldn't let them hear you say that," a smooth voice said from across the table. We looked up to see Blaise and Draco sit down, looking exhausted.
"I thought Quidditch was cancelled?" I asked
"Doesn't mean we can't train though," Draco said, piling food onto his plate.
"Going to actually try and catch the snitch before Harry, Draco?" Theo asked. Draco looked at him with a very intimidating and angry expression.
"Don't go there, Nott." Theo gulped and went back to eating. I looked at Draco with a hesitant expression; he could be very scary when he wanted to be.
"So what's the gossip about your twin and Potter?" Blaise asked.
"I don't see how it's your business," I said shortly. Blaise chuckled, "C'mon Amelie, spill."
"If I tell you, the whole school will know by breakfast." I teased. Blaise winked, "You doubt my ability to keep secrets."
"Doubt is an understatement," I smirked.
"You wound me," he whispered.
"Good," I whispered back.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Erik looking at me. I smiled and waved to him, he beamed.
"New boyfriend," Theo nudged me. Draco and Blaise both turned and looked at me with shocked expressions.
"You're dating a Durmstrang student? Erik?" Blaise said, eyes widening.
"No," I hissed. "He's just a friend."
"Good, they're a bunch of tossers." Draco said venomously
"They're actually quite nice," Theo said.
"Shut up, Nott." Draco hissed.
"No need to be rude," I said. "I'm going to the Owlery, need to send a letter to Mum" I got up from the table.
"Draco, don't you have to send a letter home?" Blaise said. Draco sighed, "Yeah, my mother is probably freaking out. I'll go with you," he said to me. Theo shot me a questioning look, which I ignored.
"Let's go then," I said, walking out of the Great Hall with Draco on my heels. We walked to the Owlery in silence; I walked over to my overweight Owl, Deacon; who was busy pecking at a female tawny owl. What a womanizer or Owlizer.
"Deacon," I called. He immediately flew over and landed on my shoulder. "Take this to the Burrow, okay?" I attached the parchment to his leg before pecking him on the head. "Good Boy," I cooed. He nibbled my ear before taking off.
I turned to see Draco receiving a letter from his eagle, frowning as he read it. The large bird stared at me, unblinking. It reminded me of Draco, somehow. I approached the scary looking bird, hesitant to go near it. The bird snapped at me a few times as my hand got closer
"I wouldn't get too close, he doesn't like other people." Draco warned, eyes still scanning his letter. My hand touched the soft feathers on the birds head. The Eagle instantly nudged my hand, demanding more attention. He jumped onto my shoulder, nibbling my ear and nuzzling my neck. It was officially the cutest Eagle I had ever seen.
I giggled, making Draco's snap up. "He's never done that before," he murmured. "He almost bit Pansy's hand off when he met her."
"What's his name?" I asked as I fed him Owl treats.
"Pascal," he said. "Stop feeding him, I don't want him to get fat like your Owl."
"Deacon isn't fat, he's just cuddly." I bit out, feeding Pascal more treats. "Is Mrs Malfoy worried about her baby Draco?" I teased.
"My mother is just worried because I haven't been sending many letters," he sighed.
"She must be lonely," I said quietly. Draco gave me a half smile, "Father's been busy with business so she's at the manor by herself."
"She'll be excited to have you home for Christmas," I smiled. "I'm staying here, I don't like Christmas at home, too many people around one table."
He scoffed, "I bet."
"Now, now don't ruin it." I warned. "I might not give Pascal back." The Eagle nudged my head.
"He seems to really like you," Draco said, walking towards me. I was now face to chest with him, I could smell his aftershave. He leant forward and brushed my hair away.
"What are you doing?" I asked nervously. He smirked,
"I'm just attaching my letter."
"Right," I breathed.
He straightened, "Pascal, take this to Malfoy Manor and give it to Mother." The Eagle chirped and took off, I watched him as he faded to a tiny black dot in the distance.
"My father bought him for me," Draco said. "He's the best Present I've ever had."
"I can see why," I murmured.
"There's something I don't understand, Draco." I said. "I just don't know who you are."
He gave me a weird look, "Are you alright, Weasley?"
"Am I that literal? I meant I just can't read you," I said. He sighed, "Don't overthink things, Amelie. I'm not as good as you think I am."
"Well until you prove otherwise, I'll never think you're all bad." He smiled at me.
"Well I'll always think of you as the girl I would be friends with if she wasn't a Weasley."
"I'm glad we understand each other." I smiled. He ruffled my hair, "Whatever, Princess."
"I have a question for you," I asked, turning serious.
"Go ahead," he said.
"What shampoo does your father use? His hair is so beautiful; I just wanna touch it."
