Curiosity Killed the Cat


October 30th. The day before Halloween. I've heard it called the Devil's birthday before. I enjoyed that name quite a bit when I heard it. It fit me perfectly. Yup, today was October 30th. My birthday.

I wasn't really expecting anything, and I didn't really feel any different. I think I also forgot what age I was turning. Either 16 or 17. It didn't really matter that much to me anymore. Ever since Azkaban, I gave up trying to keep track.

I also never got any birthday presents. Occasionally, the Malfoys gave me a lollipop for my birthday, which I eventually just threw away anyway. All I ever got from my father was a slap.

Ooh, fun.

Please, birthday, hurry up.

Yeah, right.

Birthdays just weren't fun for me, and I never mentioned it. I don't like to celebrate pointless occasions. I don't need to be rewarded for my existence. My reward is my life, because I love it so much. I don't need any better of an award.

However, apparently, some people don't think like that.

~*~

Recently, my professors seemed to think it would be a fun idea to give out all of their assignments and essays at the exact same time. Therefore, I was stuck in the library researching for my defence against the dark arts essay. Snape was having us write a paper on non-verbal spells. Joy.

All of a sudden, a small cardboard box fell on my paper. I narrowed my eyes at it and rolled my eyes. It had a ribbon around it. How I hate presents. I knew exactly who it was from too.

'Happy Birthday, evil one,' Malfoy smirked and sat down next to me.

I picked up the gift without even opening it or even looking at it and set it down in front of Malfoy. My eyes remained on my paper as I continued to ignore him.

'I don't accept presents,' I replied with a snarl, not lifting my head up from the sheet.

Malfoy smirked and picked up the present. He started to open it himself. When he opened it, he held it out in front of him. I looked over slightly just to see what it was. It was a green snake chain on a silver necklace. It looked rather nice but I made my face seem to be un-phased from it.

When I didn't say anything, he finally stood up. Good, he was leaving. Instead, I felt him play with my hair. The green snake passed by my eyesight and landed on my chest as Malfoy fumbled to attach it. When he was finished, I felt him kiss the back of my neck.

I shoved him off and went back to my work, hoping he'd go away. I didn't like to be bothered when I was working. Especially not by Draco.

'What's wrong, Doras?' he asked with a smirk.

I almost snapped. 'Don't call me that, Malfoy!' I yelled. 'Have you lost your mind?' I snapped in a whisper. Had he not a brain? I WAS under cover here.

He suddenly just realized what he did. 'Oh, sorry,' he said. His eyes glanced the room to all the students who weren't even paying attention. 'Oh, come on, they didn't hear me. Even if they did, none of these dip-shits read the paper.'

'I'm the only 14 year old to be admitted to Azkaban. I'm sure they know a little bit.

'And that only makes you sexier,' he grinned.

I scoffed at him. 'Go away from me, you pervert.'

'That's not what you said last night.'

I threw my head back. You've got to be kidding me. A kiss meant nothing. He knew that we were both just messing around and that it meant nothing. Did he have to pester me further?

'Just because I made out with you doesn't mean that I don't still hate you.'

'Shall we call us enemies with benefits?' he beamed.

I looked over at him, angrily. My face clearly showed I was annoyed, and he saw it. He loved annoying me. I just decided to ignore him and continue to work on my project. He didn't leave the entire time and slowly started to scoot closer to me until he was practically on top of me. When I finally finished, I pushed him away and stood up.

'What the bloody hell is wrong with you?' I yelled and stormed out of the library.

~*~

I picked up the Daily Prophet in the Great Hall. I found it lying around somewhere and thought I'd check it out. I hadn't looked at it since I went to Azkaban. With a mouthful of cereal, I thumbed through it only to realize something satisfying.

Azkaban Fugitives Still at Large

That was the headline. A smile grew across my face. Still at large, huh? That meant they hadn't found any of us. I skimmed through the article till the end. Apparently, it continued to the next page and I happily turned it.

I saw a picture of all my buddies. Bellatrix, Rodolphus and Rabastan, Yaxley, Mulciber, and many more, including myself. Each picture said wanted on the top. It was our Azkaban picture we took before we got admitted. A smile reached my face as I put it down.

'Admiring your triumphs, Eli?' I heard from behind me and soon a pale blonde boy took his seat next to me.

'For the love of god, Malfoy, shh!' I yelled.

He'd done it again. Did he WANT me to go back to Azkaban?

'Again, sorry. Jeesh,' he mumbled.

'Listen, you. You have no idea what I'm going through. The pressure is on. My picture is still in the paper. They'll be looking for us until we're caught, so I'd appreciated if you wouldn't scream it to Hogwarts.'

He smirked and put his arm around my shoulder. 'Consider it done.'

I saw a Ravenclaw student walk past the front of the Slytherin table and stare at me oddly. She had a newspaper in her hands, clearly not the Daily Prophet. It looked a little more disorganized than the wizard post and the pictures weren't moving. I snarled at her.

'Get going, first year,' I snapped. Malfoy chuckled.

The Ravenclaw student quickened her pace and ran off towards her table. I glared at her leave.

'So rude,' I mumbled.

All of a sudden, I felt weird. My entire body started to feel numb. My eyes widened and Draco suddenly looked worried.

'You don't look so good,' he exclaimed.

I felt my face and I felt slight bumps on it.

'Oh, my god,' I exclaimed. I jumped up from my seat and ran out of the Great Hall. I ran until I found an empty hall, hiding my face. My polyjuice potion ran out. I had forgotten to bring some with me to the Great Hall.

'I knew it!' I heard from behind me. I turned around to see that Ravenclaw first year I had scene earlier. My face was already changed. She had seen me transform.

'Listen you little brat!' I yelled.

'You're Eli Doras!' she shouted. 'You killed Lindsay Lohan!'

My eyes widened. Damn Ravenclaws for reading the paper!

'Who the hell is Lindsay Lohan!'

'The person you claim to be, you murderer!'

'Well, duh, how do you figure? I'm Eli Doras for crying out loud,' I said sarcastically.

'You are so busted,' she told me and turned around.

My eyebrows tightened and chased after her. 'Petrificus Totalus!'

The girl froze in her tracks and fell towards the ground. Hah, did she seriously think that an Azkaban Fugitive was going to let herself be drafted back into Azkaban. I picked up her ice body and dragged her into a closet.

'Listen, you. Do you really want to die that badly?' She didn't move her eyes. After all, she was petrified. But, I'm sure she was scared. 'I wouldn't go around messing with an Azkaban Fugitive who's kill more people than a 7th year Ravenclaw can count.' Okay, that's an over exaggeration, but the girl didn't need to know that.

I didn't know what I was going to do with this girl. Should I kill her? Would Hogwarts find out if I did? This girl obviously seemed like a blabber mouth. I couldn't just not do anything about it. She had to be compromised.

I searched her lifeless body and found her wand in her back pocket with a smirk.

'I believe I'm going to enjoy this,' I told her. Using her wand, I pointed it at her face. 'You are gonna rue the day you pursued me. But not for long. Avada Kedavra!' I yelled and her body lay limp on the ground. With a large look of satisfaction on my face, I made sure nobody was coming and I dragged her body out into the hall with her hand out and her wand barely out of reach.

It's obvious that it was a suicide. They'll use the prior incancatum spell to figure out the last spell that was used and just figure she killed herself. Problem solved.

Okay, so I was a little drastic. But I wasn't about to have some stupid mud-blood Ravenclaw first year getting me back into the last place I wanted to be.

I walked very slowly back to the Slytherin common room. I didn't want to be seen, just in case it happened again. I was walking in the dungeons, looking around every corner, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I screamed bloody murder and turned around, my wand out. Only to realize it was only Malfoy.

A smirk was on Malfoys face and he chuckled. 'Did I scare ya?'

'No!' I lied. 'What the hell are you doing down here?!'

'Well, you ran off and I couldn't find you. So, I went looking. And, may I say, your polyjuice potion is failing at the moment.'

'Yeah, I realize that. I just had to kill some stupid girl because she saw me,' I sighed and looking around the dungeon. He widened his eyes when I just said I killed a girl but I interrupted him before he could say anything. 'Will you be my shield? I don't have any potion with me.' I confessed.

Malfoy smiled and got in front of me. 'Sure.'

With that, I safely made it back to the Slytherin common room and quickly went up to my dorm, again, safely, to find my polyjuice potion. I downed a gulp, pocketed a bottle, and went back down to the common room.

Malfoy was sitting on the couch, examining me. I went to sit next to him but he was still staring at me oddly.

'What?' I asked.

'Did you seriously kill someone?' he asked with a grin.

I widened my eyes. 'I had to. That bloody bitch was gonna turn me in. She was a mud-blood and knew about the girl that I'm imposing. Something lohan. Anyway, she recognized me from the prophet, so I killed her.'

'And, how do you figure that they won't trace it back to you?' he asked.

I rolled my eyes. 'Easy, I killed her with her wand. Made it look like a suicide.'

Draco just shook his head with a smile. 'You are pure evil, Eli.'

'Tell me something I don't know,' I smirked.

His lips suddenly crashed into mine and before I knew it, we were making out. He pushed me onto my back and glued himself on top of me. I kissed back violently. Draco was the perfect toy to have when I got bored. Yep, the perfect toy.


I love how evil she is in this chapter. haha. Thanks for the read!!! Review? :D

MERRY ALMOST CHRISTMAS!! XD
