A Prayer-Part 7
No! There is know way I'm putting usagi and Malfoy together! Maybe Malfoy'll have a crush on her, but I am not a Mamo-chan basher! *hits the deck as various objects are thrown at her* Oh . . .*sniffles* Fine, I won't put Mamo-chan or Chibi-Usa in the story . . .shucks . . . Anywho . . I had two suggestions of who to put with Draco, Ami and Rei. I still have to decide. I'm wasn't gonna put Harry with Rei, he's Cho's boy, remember? *L* But he, she doesn't own him, right?Oh, and Malfoy has a very interesting change of heart in this part!
*~*~*~*~*
Minako sighed happily as she stared into the fire. The past few weeks had been blissful. No fights ((AN: I'm sure Mamo-chan is taking care of all that stuff in Japan :p)), no work, only peaceful relaxation. She had noticed Ron had been looking at her a bit more. Every time she looked in his direction, he was staring at her. He was a cute boy, and maybe . . .. he'd even ask her out.
Ron walked into the common room and saw Minako staring at the fire. Wow, he thought. She's so pretty. You fool! Why don't you ask her out?
He cleared his throat nervously. "H-hi Minako. What are you doing?"
"Nothing really . . ." a pause. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing . . ." Boy, Ron thought to himself. This is going nowhere. "I was wondering . . "
"Yes?"
"If maybe would like to go for a drink in Hogsmeade sometime . . ." he rubbed the back of his neck. "I been, you don't have to if you don't want to, I was just wondering . . ."
"Ron-chan?"
"Yes?"
Minako flashed a great big smile. " I'd love to. I'll see you later!" she bounded out of her chair and out the door, smiling the whole way.
Ron stood dumbfounded for a moment. "She said yes. She said YES! YES!" He started dancing around the room and noticed Neville, who had just come in, looking at him strangely. Ron ran over to him and but both his hands on his shoulders. "Minako said yes!"
Neville smiled. "You actually asked her? I envy your courage." He grimaced as though the thought of even asking a girl to go out sent cold shivers down his back.
Ron went bounding down the hallway, almost knocking poor Neville over. He had to find Harry!
He came out into the school grounds and looked around. He saw Harry sitting in front of a tree gazing at the ground, and ran over to him.
"Guess what I asked Minako if she would go it with me and she said yes!" he said, all in one breath.
Harry looked up and laughed. "That's great, Ron!"
"That IS great, Ron-chan!"
Ron looked over to see Rei sitting beside Harry. Ron blushed, for he didn't realize she was there. "Gotta go! Bye Harry, Rei!" he yelled quickly and started running in the opposite direction, head down.
CRASH! He went running straight into Malfoy.
"What's this I here?" He sneered, smiling coldly down at Ron, who was on the ground. "A girl actually said she would go out with you?" He laughed. "You'll probably make her pay her own way." And with that, he kicked Ron hard in the stomach.
Harry and Rei both leaped to their feet, but Harry put his arm out, motioning for Rei to stay behind the tree where Malfoy couldn't see her.
"What's your problem, Draco? "
"It bothers me that Ron has to go around lying," Malfoy smirked. "just because he can't get a girl to save his life."
That was the last straw. Harry leaped on top of Ron, not even bothering to pull out his wand. He punched Malfoy several times in the face, making his pale skin rise and turn the bluish-brown of a bruise. Malfoy finally managed to throw Harry off him and stagger to his feet.
"You psycho!" Malfoy spat, wiping the blood off his lip. "Pertificus Totalus!"
Harry's legs locked together, and he fell onto the ground, unable to move.
"Hey, I thought that I wouldn't get punished," Malfoy said casually. "As long as they don't find your body!" He grabbed Harry's leg and started to drag him towards the lake.
At this point, Rei stepped out from behind the tree. "You insult Ron-chan, then you try to kill Harry-chan? What kind of baka are you?"
"Baka?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow. "What does that mean? Oof!"
Ron had managed to stand up, and had kicked Malfoy square in the back.
Rei began to chant under her breath. "Rin, Pyo, Tou, Sha, Kai, Gin, Retsu, Sai, Zen."
"Rei, what the heck are you doing?!" Ron called, out of breath, but he managed to pin Malfoy to the ground while she finished her chant."
"AKURYA TAISAN!" Rei yelled as she ran, leaped into the air, and tossed two ofuda ((^_~)) into the air.
The first piece stuck Harry, who twitched, and found himself able to move again! The second piece hit Malfoy right on the forehead. He went stiff, then fell limply to the ground.
"Wow!" Ron laughed. "How did you do that?"
Rei smirked and helped Harry to his feet "It doesn't matter. What matters is that he won't remember a thing about this fight when he wakes up. Come, let's go inside."
*~*~*~*~*
Malfoy scratched his head. He certainly was feeling funny. Before, he had been filled with hatred and contempt, but when he had found himself on the ground with a piece of paper stuck to his head, he hadn't felt anything but happy. Not happy at others misfortune, not happy to make people suffer, just . . .happy.
What exactly had happened while he'd been out?
*~*~*~*
Rei gazed into the make-shift ceremonial fire that Hermione had made for her, and closed her eyes slowly. She waited. And waited. Until finally, in the blackness of her mind, she saw something. It was a small figure, pale, with a cruel smile on it's face.
As it walked closer, Rei realized it was the boy who had attacked Harry early. She prepared to end the vision, but the boy had already stopped in front of her. Suddenly, flames started to burn on his forehead. He did not scream or try to put them out, he just stood. When the flames went out, there was a piece of paper with Japanese symbols on it. Rei's trademark. Rei observed as Draco's face twisted in horror, and a ghostly figure with an evil face exited his body. When the figure was gone, Malfoy was smiling again, but it was a happy, nice smile this time. The boy disappeared, and the vision ended.
Rei blinked, and remained still for a moment. She had seen that figure before. It was an evil spirit, a parasite that lived on the goodness of humans. It had been living on Malfoy, for who knows how long. But, maybe, just maybe, Rei had freed the boy of his evil spirit. She could only hope.
*~*~*~*~*
"Harry-chan! Harry-chan!" I need to talk to you!" Rei cried, running after Harry down a corridor.
He stopped. "What is it Rei? What's wrong?"
"Harry, I've figured out why Malfoy-chan has always been such a baka to you!"
Harry laughed. "That's like saying you've discovered why Ron likes Minako! It's just the way it is!"
"Wrong! When I hit him with my ofuda, I believe I released an evil spirit inside him! Who knows how long it's been there? But I believe that now I have freed him, he will be very helpful in the fight against evil!"
Harry raised an eyebrow disbelievingly. "Well, I'm not gonna go anywhere near him."
Rei smirked. "I know how we can talk to him."
"We?".
*~*~*~*~*
Usagi stuck her head out of the fat lady's portrait. "Oh, you there!" she called to Malfoy, who was walking down the corridor, humming. "I need your help in here, please!"
Malfoy's eyes lit up. This girl is very cute! he thought. He smiled and followed Usagi into the Gryffindors dark common room.
"What can I help . . .you . . .with . . ." he looked around suspiciously.
The room suddenly lit up, revealing 7 girls, Usagi, Harry, Hermione and Ron, standing in a circle around him.
"What the . . .?"
Makoto slipped her hand over his mouth. "Quiet, boy. We're gonna have a talk with you."
*~*~*~*
I know, I shouldn't leave on a cliffhanger, but it makes it so much more interesting! I still need more suggestions on where I should take this story. The reason for Malfoy's sudden change of heart: I've always liked that boy, evil or not! Maybe . .he could be a relative of Usagi's, from the moon, who was turned mean by Voldemort when he was reborn! *ducks as her Malfoy-Usagi shippers throw stuff at her* It was just a suggestion! So, tell me what you think!
No! There is know way I'm putting usagi and Malfoy together! Maybe Malfoy'll have a crush on her, but I am not a Mamo-chan basher! *hits the deck as various objects are thrown at her* Oh . . .*sniffles* Fine, I won't put Mamo-chan or Chibi-Usa in the story . . .shucks . . .
