A/N: I'm back. Maybe? Kind of? How long has it been? Three or four years? Damn. I am so sorry. Does anyone still want to read this? Or have you all grown up? Started families and careers? Alright I'm getting carried away; it's only been a few years. But anyways, needless to say, I got busy with life. But now here I am re-entering a Potter phase. Just so you beautiful people know, I have dance nearly every day (it feels like I'm at the studio more than my own house), some pretty tough classes, and friends that demand attention and silly things like that keeping me busy. But I recently watched the last Harry potter movie and cried my eyes out. I feel like I need this part of my childhood back. Also I'm kind of worried that now that I'm a few years older I've lost my touch, but let's just see how this goes.
Enjoy!
9. Walk near Hermione Granger until she walks by a puddle of mud, point at the puddle and shout 'Merlin, Granger! You're bleeding!' Avoid getting a concussion from Potter or the Weasel.
This task made Draco more than a little nervous. The previous tasks that he had performed had caused Hermione to regard him with confusion and even more hostility than what was usually present. And now as he wandered around outside of the castle, he was certain that this time she would repeat her violent action from when they were third-years. And with a shudder he realized that she had probably grown even stronger.
It was growing closer to winter and the cold air caused Draco even more discomfort. Just as he turned to go inside, telling himself that he would have to complete this task another day, he spotted none other than Hermione granger, accompanied by Potter and Weasley of course. They seemed to be heading in the direction of the gamekeeper's small excuse for a house. This was Draco's chance. He quickened his pace to catch up with the trio, and was soon trailing behind them. They were talking noisily about subjects that Draco found entirely uninteresting. He continued walking behind them for a few minutes, until finally the trio came a across a large puddle of mud, and began to trudge through it. Draco seized the opportunity.
"Merlin, Granger!" He exclaimed, feigning surprise. The trio quickly turned, shocked at the voice. Potter even drew his wand.
"Malfoy? What the hell are you doing?! How long have you been following us?!" Potter spat angrily.
"I wouldn't worry about something so trivial, Potter. Can't you see that one of your beloved friends is having a crisis at the moment?" Draco said, motioning to the bewildered girl. Blimey, he thought, I'm only on task number nine and I'm sure Granger thinks I've gone mad.
"What on earth are you talking about, Malfoy?" questioned Weasley.
"Merlin! Are you people blind? Look, Granger's bleeding all over!" Draco proclaimed as he pointed to the mud that they were all standing in.
There were precisely three seconds of silence as the three minds made sense of the joke. The next thing Draco could register was that he was on the muddy ground with two teenage boys on top of him throwing fists wherever they could land. Soon after, he noticed a pair of female hands grabbing the redhead and pulling him out of the chaos. And finally the pain started to set in, especially on his face. The blows from the bloody fists were still hammering away, percussively coming into contact with his face. Emerging from his daze, Draco threw himself off of the ground, and onto his opponent, so that he was positioned on top of Potter. He started throwing hard punches, shattering the Chosen One's glasses all over his already-scarred face. At this point he noticed that there was quite an impressive amount of blood dripping down from where his chin had been busted open. His punches slowed as he became lightheaded and dizzy. In the few moments before his consciousness left him, he swore he heard the unmistakable voice of Hermione Granger saying, "How strange, Malfoy. I could have sworn you said I was the one bleeding all over!"
A/N: I know it's short. And I honestly have no idea if it was good or bad, so it would be helpful if you would let me know. Please and thank you. Oh here's a fun fact by the way, face wounds really do bleed quite a bit. Last year I was out with some friends at about one in the morning and I busted my chin open on a playground slide and started bleeding all over and got really dizzy from losing so much blood. Luckily a friend had some liquid bandage in her car. But I still ended up in the emergency room, getting stitches. Be careful, kids. And review please! Let me know if I should still even bother with this!
