Getting to Know People Better
As the weeks went by, Danielle was attracting less and less attention from just walking down the halls. She was still getting looks from some of the boys who had her on their list of most beautiful girls of the year.
Danielle learned to just blow off these guys, they didn't really care about her; they just thought she was pretty, which she didn't believe when anyone told her that she was.
She had for the most part gotten used to everything, school, her new friends, and even having a brother. Hermione was defiantly her best friend, but Danielle still didn't talk about the orphanage around anyone, even her. The two hung out all the time with and without Ron and Harry.
Malfoy continued to bother them, but they got used to just letting Danielle deal with him in her normal polite way and he seemed to ignore the other three, which was fine with them.
Malfoy was actually staring to have a crush of Danielle. He was very attracted to the beautiful girl. The way she brushed her waist long hair out of her face when she studied, how she laughed, how her green eyes sparkled in the candle light of the great hall. He noticed all these things about her.
He was stunned that she was polite to him every time he talked to her. She obviously did make up her own mind about people. He stopped her after potions one day. Harry, Ron and Danielle were headed toward Divination.
"Go on," She called to them, "I'll be there shortly." Harry and Ron left. "Yes, Malfoy?" she asked once they were gone.
"As I'm sure you know, there is a Hogsmeade trip with weekends." Malfoy told her. "I was only wondering if you would like to go with me, kind of like a date?" He said, as he got lost in her sparkles green eyes.
"Oh," Danielle said blushing, "I didn't realize that you felt that way. I'm sorry if I've led you on, I didn't mean to. I just don't think of you like that. I'm really sorry."
Malfoy was stunned; he had never asked a girl out who had turned him down. He was mad, she didn't know who she was messing with here.
Danielle saw his anger in his eyes and started to back away. He advanced on her until she was backed up against the wall. He put his hand on the wall next to her neck to keep her from getting away and picked up some of her long black hair in the other.
Malfoy knew she didn't bring her wand with her on days when she only had potions and divination. There was on need for a wand in either class.
When he spoke there was anger in his voice, "You don't like me, do you?" He said as more of a statement then a question. "This was just a game to you, you were laughing at me the whole time weren't you?" He said moving closer to her.
Danielle shook her head no, but she couldn't form any words. The terror was obvious in her green eyes and Malfoy was turned on even more by it.
"Well, we'll see you has the last laugh." He sneered at her as he leaned closer to kiss her. She moved her head to the side and he ended up kissing the wall.
He slapped her across the face, her eyes were still full of terror, but she didn't yell or cry. "Aren't you going to cry or anything?" He asked as he touched the side of her face he just slapped.
Danielle just stood there looking at him. "You can't do anything to me." He said laughing at her, "you haven't got your wand with you. You are completely helpless here with me. I could put you in the full body bind or put a silencing charm on you and you couldn't even do anything to stop me from doing anything I wanted to you." He smiled at her and her eyes filled with more terror.
Then she remembered that she could do wandless magic.
"Expelliarmus." She yelled as Malfoy's wand flew out of his hands and into hers. He stared at her. "But you don't have your wand? How did you" he didn't finish his sentence. "Oh my god, you can do wandless magic." He said, backing away from her.
She smiled at the effect of this, now the tables had changed. He was the one scared of her.
"Don't ever come near me again." She spat walking towards him. "You will leave me and my friends alone or you will be sorry. I tired to be nice, not as a game, but because I thought maybe you weren't as bad as my friends told me you were. But now I realize that they didn't do your character justice. You are not just mean, you are evil. Stay away from all of us or you'll be sorry."
With this she threw his wand back at him and ran off toward divination.
Danielle didn't tell Harry and Ron what happened. She did tell Hermione that night in their room. Hermione was happy that Danielle had found out the truth about Malfoy, but it got lost in her shock over the wandless magic.
"How do you do it?" Hermione wanted to know. "I don't know, Dumbledore said it was a gift from my mother." Danielle said. "Can you show me?" Hermione asked very interested.
"Accio nightgown" Danielle said and her nightgown flew across the room and Danielle caught and went in the bathroom to change.
"Wow" Hermione said as Danielle came back out, "That's really neat." "It's fun, but Dumbledore said that I shouldn't do it unless I need to. It's not very reliable." She said dismissing Hermione's interest.
"Oh, and I told Malfoy that if he comes near any of us again that he would be sorry." Danielle said grinning. "And boy do I mean it." I don't care if I do get expelled for what I might do, I was ready to live on the streets this summer." She said angrily.
Hermione laughed and said, "Remind me never to get on your bad side." Danielle laughed also. "No, I don't think I could hurt him. It's not in me, but I did feel good to stand up for myself for once. Almost like I was standing up to Mr. Hunt." Danielle said and then realized what she said.
"Who's Mr. Hunt?" Hermione asked. "The person who ran of orphanage." Danielle said and hoped Hermione would drop it, which she did.
"Well, we are going to show you around Hogsmeade tomorrow. We better get some sleep." Hermione lay down and closed the curtains of her bed.
"Good night Hermione, sleep tight." Danielle said as she petted Shadow and slowly fell asleep.
