False Betrayal
Who?' asked Parvati, her twin
Pansy Parkinson, ugh...shes so...horrible!' replied Padma
You know who her perfect match is.' was Parvati's response
You know I think I know who you mean.' said Padma Draco Malfoy, right?'
Definitely!' exclaimed Parvati They're both so full of them selves, both in Slytherin, both have over inflated egos, and both are totally heartlless!'
Hmm...Are you think what I'm think P1?' said Padma
I think I am P2' replied Parvati
Then together they said: Match-making time!'
Draco looked up as one of the school owls dropped a letter on his plate, reaching down, he picked it up and read it:
Meet me tonight,
8pm in the owlery.
Don't be late.
He finished reading it and smiled, obviously Harry had decided to continue. He wasn't sure what would happen after the other night. It had felt so right. He looked over at the Gryffindor table to where Harry sat laughing and talking with his friends. Friends, people who care for you. I always wondered what knowing someone cared for you must feel like, I guess now I know.
As the day went on Draco found himself unable to concentrate on anything, even in Potions Snape had to to question him twice because he was too busy staring at the gorgeous Gryffindor boy to pay any attention.
When the time was finally five to eight Draco went up to the owlery, excited at the propect of seeing Harry again bit wondering why he'd chosen the owlery of all places, although, he remembered, there was that nice pile of hay in the corner, definitely a good spot for a late night make out session, yes now he thought about it the owlery really was the perfect place to meet.
He walked into the owlery, straight in to Pansy Parkinsons arms.
Draco.' she murmered I'm so glad you've finally come to your senses, we're the purrfect couple.'
What-' he started to protest but was cut off as Pansy closed her mouth over his, her tongue exploring the roof of his mouth. Draco heard a gasp and pulled away just in time to see Harry's retreating back.
No!' he said backing away from Pansy What are you doing!?'
Draco' she purred, pulling him closer. What do you think I'm doing? I'm kissing you, you fool, and I was enjoying it until you pulled away, now come back here, I'm getting cold, help warm me up.'
No! Pansy! This isn't what I want! If you want to get warm go cuddle up to some of the owls' he snarled I'm sure they'll enjoy it much more then I will!' he said and walked away to the far end of the owlery, he heard Pansy leave and
Draco crumpled on to the ground, What's happening? Have I suddenly been declared the most kissable guy at Hogwarts? I know I'm gorgeous but thats really an honor I'd rather not have, unless of course Harry's the guy who's kissing me. Oh yeah, I think I have a slight problem on the Harry front. If it really was him that I saw after Pansy kissed me then I don't think he's going to be very happy. He buried his face in his hands, Oh god...what am I going to do! I guess I'd better see if I can find him.
Draco had almost given up on ever finding Harry, nobody seemed to have seen him, so he decided to have one last look outside. He walked up to the lake and noticed someone sitting in the moonlight beneath one of the trees on its bank.
Harry' he tentatively asked
Go away Draco, I don't want to talk to you' Harry replied
Oh god Harry it wasn't what it looked like' he said
Reallly, its pretty hard to mistake that for anything else!'
Harry, please,' he begged I didn't want to do that!'
You certainly looked pretty cosy when I walked in.'
Harry, listen to me.' he said I would never intentionally hurt you, honestly Harry please can you believe me?'
Sorry Malfoy that statements not going to work' he snapped Its about half an hour too late because for your information I am already hurt.'
Draco was stung, it hurt to have Harry call him by his surname, he could tell Harry was really upset.
Please Harry, please believe me.' Draco was almost in tears now. Pansy, she-she grabbed me and kissed me, I didn't want her to. I pulled away as soon as realised what she was trying to do.'
God, Malfoy, you don't honestly expect me to believe that crap do you?' Harry was hurt and he wasn't going to back down. I trusted you, I thought maybe you actually cared for me but I guess I was wrong.'
Draco was crying in earnest now. Please Harry, please I would never do that to you, I couldn't, I-I love you.'
Sorry Draco, maybe you should have thought of that before you kissed Pansy' replied Harry. Just go away and leave me alone.'
Fine! Have it your way then Harry!' shouted Draco See if I care, I don't know why I even bothered with you Harry, I should have seen you for what you really are! Go on run back to your stupid mudblood friend Granger, and that idiot Weasley who's only your friend because you pay him, mind you I don't fault him for that, the amount of money you'd have to pay someone to be your friend is probably enough to feed his family for a couple of months!'
How dare you insult my friends!' yelled Harry You only say that because you've never had any of your own! Although I'm not suprised, I mean who'd want to be your friend, even your father can see you're not worth anything!'
You bastard!' yelled Draco and launched himself on Harry. They were in the middle of a full fight, yelling obscenities about eachothers family whilst trying to knock the other unconcious when a booming voice was heard.
Harry and Draco were pulled of eachother and led away to the infirmary, somehow they'd managed to land themselves in lake at some point and both were sopping wet and freezing. When they got there Madame Pomfrey soon had them bundled up in blankets and placed in beds with steaming cups of hot chocolate in their hands. Proffessor McGonagall and Proffessor Snape walked in.
Now that you two seem to be in a position where neither of you can go for the others throats, would you mind telling us what happened?'
Yes' drawled Draco
Yes what, Mr Malfoy?' asked Snape
Yes we would mind telling you what happened, so you can just go away and mind your own business!' snapped Draco
Potter, would you care to indulge us in the reason you two were fighting in the lake, seeing as though Mr Malfoy doesn't seem to want to?' inquired Proffessor McGonagall.
No' was Harry's sullen reply
Well Harry, I at least would have expected better from you,' said McGonagall.
From what Hagrid tells me, you two looked about ready to kill eachother, now I know you two haven't been the best of friends since you both started here, but that gives you absolutely no excuse for this kind of behaviour. You will both be serving detentions with Filch, we will inform you of the time when you are better. In the meantime you will both be spending the night here. And please, try not to get into another fight.
So saying she swept out of the room, an indignant Snape in tow.
Huh Snape's probably annoyed that I didn't get in any more trouble than Draco did, probably thinks its all my fault, as usual, thought Harry. I can't believe Draco would do that, I can't believe that I actually thought for a minute that he might care about me. What kind of a fool am I?
He turned around to look at the other boy, and noticed Draco looking back at him.
What are you looking at Potter?' Draco drawled Inspecting the damage you've done? Well go ahead and look, and just remember, I've had worst things done to me.'
Harry remembered about Draco's father beating him and suddenly felt guilty. His thoughts were interrupted though when Ron, Hermione and Pansy came through the door, glaring daggers at eachother. Pansy threw herself at Draco, holding onto him tightly, and inspecting his damage, frowning at the tiniest scratch.
Oh look Malfoy' he said, immitating Draco's drawl perfectly, Your little girlfriend Pansy's here.' He was glad to see Draco flinch at that particular statement.
Shut up Potter, I told you she's not my girlfriend.' Draco snapped tiredly
Really?' he said, raisng an eyebrow. She certainly seems to think so, I'd better leave you alone hadn't I, wouldn't want to get in the way of another snog session, the last one was bad enough.'
Draco buried his face in his hands, and it was at that point that Ron decided to interrupt, Look at that,' he said Malfoy's finally got a girlfriend evil enough to live up to his standards, I wouldn't have thought it possible.'
Hermione who'd been watching Harry and Draco's exchange carefully butted in:
Leave it Ron, don't waste your breath on him.' she quietly said
Aww...come on Herm.'
No.'
Fine then.' said Ron
Ok Harry, what happened?' she asked
Nothing, I just had a fight with Malfoy, it doesn't matter.' he sighed
Intense fight huh? Must have been to land you both in the lake without noticing.' she commented.
Look Hermione, its nothing okay?' he snapped Don't worry so much'
Harry, leave her alone she was only trying to help.' said Ron
Pansy Parkinson, get off that boy now!' she snapped. He doesn't need you to go over his entire body to see if he's hurt, your just making it worse. Now out!'
Alright, I'm going' she said I'll see you in the morning Draco dahling, hope you get better.'
OUT!' yelled Madame Pomfrey, and Pansy ran out the door.
Now you two, I don't want any fighting in my infirmary, if there is I will kick you both out and you can explain to Proffessor Dumbledore what happened.
Yes Madame Pomfrey'
Alright then, goodnight.' she said and walked out the door.'
Well Malfoy,' said Harry. That proves that I was right about you and Pansy doesn't it, I mean, she was all over you, literally.'
He waited a few minutes for the usual snappish reply and when he didn't get one he looked over to the bed Draco was sitting in.
Draco was curled up, his head in his hands, and his shoulders silently shaking.
Draco?' he whispered, still no answer. Draco? Are you alright?'
No I'm not bloody well alright!' Draco snapped. I've just had the crap beaten out of me by the guy who I thought loved me, had some stupid slut crawling all over me making it twice as bad continuously reminding me of the reason why it happened and you ask me if I'm alright!' his voice cracked Can't you see what you've done to me? I didn't want this to happen, I don't need this. Having the crap beaten out of me by my father is bad enough, but you too? I can't take it.'
they were interrupted when the two Patil twins ran in.
Harry!' said Padma
Are you alright?' said Parvati
Yes I'm fine, honestly.'
Thats good' said Padma
Yeah we knew that Malfoy was no good.' said Parvati
Padma lowered her voice to a whisper and said: Thats why we set him an Pansy up'
You what!' exclaimed Harry
You heard us. But don't worry about it okay?'
Yeah, we'd better go though, we're not supposed to be here, we only came to tell you the news.'
Bye Harry'
Harry buried his head in his hands, Oh no, what have I done? he thought
