Eyes on Fire
(Chapter 37)
AuthorQuickNotes: so I'm done with halloween shopping and decided to do an update. I am officially being the Mad Hatter this year, from Alice in Wonderland but the older, original one. I like the original, from the Disney one but I'm not having the large, rounded nose, lol. No thanks. Anywho, I hope you like this chapter. It has a big, big climax in it. It's quite funny, maybe. It was to me but it's my own humor so maybe not to you guys! Haha let me know. Please review!
Everything was quiet as the two lovers lay in the bed as the rather odd building creaked in its usual way and gave an eerie feel about it. There suddenly came a couple footsteps heading into the house, through the same hole Malfoy had told me about. Both of us were deep asleep as we lay there together; Malfoy's warm arm was around me and our hands were linked together. I was snoring, as usual.
"This place gives me the creeps," a small voice stated, stirring Malfoy slightly. Malfoy was usually a heavy sleeper but in this shack, everything echoed. Malfoy's eyes fluttered open and he stared around before he looked down at me and smiled, reaching up with his hand and pulling my hair back. Malfoy chuckled at my snoring but the door soon creaked open and he looked up, on instinct, and his eyes widened when two people walked into the bedroom. They looked over and the girl, who Malfoy knew, shrieked with an astounding loudness as Malfoy's arm jabbed me in the back as he sat up. It startled me awake as I snorted, groaning as soreness effected me all over. Man it had been a while since I had sex. "Jennifer, what the hell?!" I heard and looked over to see none other than Amy and Blaise staring at Malfoy and me, naked, in a bed. I blinked, still kind of confused. I had just woken up. Malfoy was sitting in bed with me, shock written across his eyes as he stared at Blaise and then over at Amy. "You're bedding Malfoy, of all people?" she shrieked.
"Wha…" I moaned before I looked over at Malfoy, who had an expression like "well the jigs up" and my eyes widened before I looked over at Amy. "This is not what it looks like!" Malfoy snorted in laughter as Blaise started doubling over in laughter. Amy glared at me. I blushed and slid my legs off the bed and grabbing the blanket, began to stand but Malfoy's hand stopped the blanket and I fell off the bed, giving Blaise quite the view. Amy's face contorted as Blaise stared for a while before turning around sharply, laughing. I blushed as I stood and glared over at Malfoy. "You dick face!" I yelled, grabbing the upper blanket and glaring harder at him as he glared back. I looked over at Amy and saw her face go from pissed off to confused to questioning and finally to realization.
"Oh my good God," she mumbled, her eyes widening on me. "Is this why you were so stressed out and strung loose?" I blushed but nodded sheepishly. Malfoy didn't say anything as the holey sheet covered his more vital parts but still gave Amy quite the view. "Ew, cover it up, Malfoy!" Amy screamed when she went to glare at him. Malfoy smirked and grabbed a pillow to put over his crotch. I looked over at him and smiled, chuckling. Malfoy looked over at me.
"You think this is funny?" he snapped. I nodded.
"Amy thinks your penis is gross looking," I insulted. Malfoy glared at me and Amy looked confused as he snarled as well.
"Well Blaise turned away from your sagging tits, Williams!" he snapped. I stuck my tongue out and Amy whistled, getting our attention. She looked real confused as Malfoy and I looked over at her, like it was nothing. It really was nothing. Malfoy and I argued with each other whenever we got the chance. It was our thing. Amy stared at us, questions still lingering.
"Amy," I began, walking toward her as Malfoy sneakily grabbed his clothes and began putting them on as I distracted the other female. "Remember all the detentions I had with him?" She nodded, her eyes narrowing up at me. "Well, after a while, being with someone so much and so forcefully makes you grow fond of that person, even if he's a dick." I felt Malfoy glare at me but I ignored it. Amy's eyes narrowed even more and I flushed, putting my hands on my hips, narrowing my eyes at her. "What else do you want to know? That basically explains it and the fact that you all were telling me to stay away from Malfoy."
"Oh so it's our fault that you started bedding a slimy git?" she agued. I nodded sharply, not backing down. "Malfoy's a player, Jenn! He's going to drop you as soon as you walk out from this building." I shrugged, rolling my eyes.
"So? It was a good lay, Amy," I mumbled and she gasped. I blushed, giggling. "I was supposed to just think that." We began bickering at each other as Blaise ventured over to Malfoy and took a deep breath in as Malfoy glared up at him.
"So you like the freaks, huh?" Malfoy teased, his glare softening as he smirked. Blaise chuckled, shrugging.
"You like the sloppy seconds of Potter, huh?" Blaise joked back. Malfoy thought about it before laughing. Blaise began laughing with him and that gained the attention of Amy and me. The two of us looked over, confused. "Don't rack your brain too hard, girls! We're only having a guy talk."
"Something your small brain can't handle," Malfoy insulted, looking at me. I glared at him and went to say something but Amy said something first.
"Ever since Blaise and I came in here, you two have insulted each other nonstop! What the hell kind of relationship is that?" she asked. Malfoy and I looked at each other, confused; we couldn't answer something like that. I knew I couldn't. I honestly loved the man but I couldn't say something that would make him really grow angry or offensive. So I just stared at him and he stared at me. So we both shrugged in response as Malfoy began gathering my clothes; something nice in front of Amy. "I just don't…" Amy stated but sighed, rubbing her forehead. "I just don't get it." I frowned. "Why couldn't you just tell me?" Malfoy cut in here.
"Do you think I'd be caught dead with a Gryffindor hanging on my arm? And do you think you really would've accepted Jennifer if she told you, 'hey, I'm fucking a Slytherin and oh, by the way, it's Malfoy' that you would've taken it easily? No, you wouldn't because you hang around that damn Potter so much that you think you're something of a God or a Goddess." I looked over at Malfoy but didn't say anything. That was my thinking just not as harsh. Amy glared and put her hands on her hips.
"Excuse me?" she snapped, glaring at Malfoy. "I'm not like Potter. I don't hate everyone just because he or she is a Slytherin and or a death eater!" Malfoy rolled his eyes.
"You probably don't even know that Zabini's parents are death eaters as well!" Malfoy yelled and I frowned, looking over at Blaise, who seemed timid and not sure if he should cut in. Amy glared and began growling slightly.
"I don't care about that! Blaise isn't his parents!" Amy yelled back. Malfoy began laughing, almost like Amy was stupid. I went to say something to get them to stop but Malfoy started again.
"People like you are so stupid! The moment you go to meet his parents, if this thing even lasts, you're going to become one of those judging, weak hearted idiots that don't give anyone the slightest glance before judging them! I bet you Blaise's parents won't even let you step foot in the door because they were both Slytherin and seeing how you're a Gryffindor, they'll loathe you!" Malfoy yelled, his face scrunching up a very intense glare. I frowned. This was going to be bad. Amy hated being judged.
"You think that because my parents are death eaters or because I'm not some kind of bullshit royalty that I won't accept Blaise's family or anything else about him? Then you're bloody stupid, Malfoy. You're even more stupid than I thought you were," Amy stated, glaring and going to move forward as her fists clenched. I stepped in between them and put my hand on Amy's chest, giving her a look. "Get the hell out of the way, Jennifer. I don't care if you're shagging him; I'm going to beat his brains in!" I sighed and pushed her back slightly.
"You two are both idiots!" I snapped, rather loudly. It caught Blaise's attention and he finally realized one of us stepped in. "Amy, you go stand over there with Blaise." Amy went to say something but I snapped my fingers. "Go!" Amy glared with a slight growl and walked over to Blaise. "Malfoy, outside with me, now!" I grabbed his arm and began dragging him out as he glared at me, rather heatedly. I walked out the room and turned to slam Malfoy into a wall. I pointed my finger at him as his glare intensified. "I swear to God, Malfoy, if you don't calm that anger of yours, I'm going to hex you into infinity! I may love…having sex with you but I'm not going to put up with how you treat my best friend! If neither of you can accept the other, then I'm going to be forced to tell all your buddies that you slept with the Potter leftovers!" Malfoy glared at me and I glared back.
God I wanted him so badly right now. He looked like a beast.
"Damn you, Malfoy," I growled and a smirk broke on his face. It tore through his glare; he knew what I was thinking. "You're such a vampire!" He chuckled and just for the hell of it, I slammed my lips onto his and cupped his face, tearing my teeth into his lip. Malfoy growled against it and his hands dug into my side. It was odd how having sex can make every other moment even more sexual or intense. I clocked my head against his softly and smiled, leading him back into the room. His face went sour but I led him anyways. "Okay, Amy, we're ready to answer any questions I know that head of yours has cooked up," I stated, smiling. Amy looked over from her conversation with Blaise and nodded.
"First one: when did this start?" she asked. I blushed and looked over at Malfoy, who grew a smug look on his face. I elbowed him.
"No comment," I stated.
"Since she started dating Potter," Malfoy stated bluntly. I gasped, glaring over at him. "What? Might as well be honest since she's bound to make that idiotic voice of yours in your head to blurt it out." I glared a bit harder before looking back over at Amy, who looked stunned. Blaise was biting his knuckle to keep from laughing. "So technically, Zabini, Potter has been kissing my sloppy seconds!" I actually giggled at that as Amy glared over at Malfoy before glaring at Blaise, who held his hands in defense as he sucked in his laughter.
"You've been cheating on Harry with this scum?" Malfoy glared but I nodded as Amy pointed one of her fingers at Malfoy. "So this is man 2 from your letters back home?" I nodded; I didn't care who read those letters. There were never any names listed. Malfoy looked confused as he looked at me. I shook my head at him and he disregarded it. I felt like I was in an interrogation room, full of cops and detectives but all of them had Amy's face. "Second, what are we going to do about this?" Amy gestured to her and Blaise and then to Malfoy and me. I frowned. What were we to do? I'm sure all four of us could keep a secret but four is a crowd.
"Easy," Blaise started. "We've all been keeping secrets for a couple months now and it only make sense that none of us speak of this to anyone outside this circle." Malfoy nodded, seeming satisfied as he looked at me.
"I just need to make sure that wench can be trusted," Malfoy mumbled. Amy glared at him.
"There's no problem with this wench but sneaky little cockroaches need to be stomped on," Amy stated, raising her fist but Blaise kept her back. I giggled as Malfoy glared at her, stepping forward but I gripped his hand harder. I giggled again. Amy's wit was funny.
"Okay now that that's settled," I stated, smiling over at Blaise. Blaise and I seemed the only sensible ones since both of us didn't have a grudge on one another. "Can you two leave?" I joked. Blaise and Malfoy as Amy shot me a look.
"You're such a slut, Jenn," Amy joked, sticking her tongue out at me. I giggled and walked forward, wrapping her in my arms. I was so happy she now knew about Malfoy and me. I was getting so stressed about not having anyone to talk to about it. My friends in America were no help, figuring I hardly got anymore letters.
"I'm so glad you know now," I whispered so neither Blaise nor Malfoy would hear. Amy smiled and wrapped her arms around me. I smiled to myself as I hugged her harder and led her to the smaller cot against the wall and sitting her down to talk with her, like old times since she now knew why I was so moody. Blaise and Malfoy went off in their own "Slytherin" thing.
Neither of us knew that the best of times would be coming up rather shortly and would last a lifetime…
