"Hmm , Hermione ?"
"Is someone talking , Parvati ?"
"Hermione , listen to me."
"Parvati ? I think I hear something."
"Hermione , stop acting like a childish prat !"
"I'm the childish prat ? Bit rich , coming from you !"
"Seriously. Harry didn't mean what he said. Well , maybe he did -."
"See ?"
"Well , he regrets it now."
"And you know this , how ?"
"Well ..."
"Did he tell you that ?"
"Well ... no..."
"There. My point has been proved. Why don't you just go away , and
hang out with Harry , and leave me alone."
"Fine. If that's the way you want it . I just never had you pegged down
as a stubborn little git."
Hermione slapped him , and walked out the door , the image of the red
head who she had been in love with so long ago filling her mind. Ugh.
She hated days like these.
"La la la la la." Draco hummed absentmindedly , standing over his
trunk. There was something at the bottom , which he never opened.
Well , at least not at Hogwarts.. It held things which were out of his
past , things he wish didn't exist , and wished he didn't remember. But
he had to keep those memories , for if you forget the bad , you must
forget the good. Right ? He dug through his trunk , searching for the
thing he didn't want find. That box , it was like a diary , except that it's
contents were only visible to the owner. Or whoever had the
permission. Or , if the contents concerned you , you were able to look.
But that was it. Draco shuddered to think what would happen if
someone saw what was in it. Cecily did , he reminded himself. But that
wasn't the reason he hated her. Oh , there were many more reasons
than that. But , to this day , Draco couldn't figure out how she
managed it. She didn't have his permission , and it didn't concern her.
Well , parts of it may have , but those were gone. Gone a long time
ago. He hoped. But you never knew. Life has a strange way of making
things turn up when you hope you lost them. But some things you can
never lose. And some spots can never come off. He wondered what
would happen if Potter saw it. He would be screwed. Major. Well ...
What can you do ?
"Cecily ?"
"Yes Master ?"
"Do you have any information ?"
"No master. Not yet."
"Why not ?"
"Because ,master , nothing has happened. However , I have
befriended the Potter boy , as well as his best friend. And I have
removed the threat from the picture."
"Removed ?"
"She is no longer friends with them , my lord. Harry Potter got very
jealous that she was friends with Draco Malfoy ."
"Mr. Malfoy is friends with her ?"
"Yes."
"Leave. Leave , and don't come back until you have more information.
Even when the dark mark burns ..."
