Thinking Of You
Danyelle and Draco where playing chinese checkers, a favorite of Danyelle's, in the fifth year boys dorm. Danyelle had just beaten Draco for what had been the fifth time.
She was now trying to teach him some helpful moves that would help his game, when Blaise came striding in. He looked at Danyelle and Draco and then took a double take.
"You aren't supposed to be in the boys dorms", he told Danyelle rudely. Ever since she had rejected him he had been cold and distant with her.
"I'm sorry, I will leave", she said glaring at Blaise when he turned his back.
Draco laughed and said, "Blaise I think you just made yourself an enemy".
At this Danyelle looked at Draco quickly and laughed to. She couldn't help it his good mood was infectious. It was suprising that he was so happy, after all Danyelle had just thouroughly womped him at Chinese Checkers.
She picked up the game board and told Draco to meet her in the common room for a rematch,"I am sure Pansy is gone by now", she said before she left.
Draco was laying on his bed grinning at the ceiling. Danyelle was such a good friend and feind he thought himself.
"Draco, I can't believe you taking up with her, a mudblood at that", Blaise said disaprovingly.
"Shut up Blaise, you are just jealous that she didn't go to the Christmas ball with you and don't call her a mudblood, both her parents are wizards", Draco said lazily.
"Fine" Blaise saying in huff, walked to the door and roughly threw it open, "If you want to have your father disown you go ahead", he said before slamming the door behind him.
As Blaise was stomping down the stairs he ran into Pansy who was sitting on the bottom step deep in thought.
"Watch it Parkinson", Blaise growled.
Pansy stared dumbly up at him as he towered over her.
"What has got your knickers all in bunch", she asked sarcasticly.
"Two words, Danyelle and Draco", Blaise said venomtly.
"Oh the mudblood and the traitor", she said knowingly.
"So what are you doing, lurking on the stairs", Blaise asked loosing the anger in his voice.
"Plotting on how to get rid of Danyelle", Pansy said simply.
"Oh really, care to clue me in on what your plan is", Blaise asked cooly.
"Well actually, I don't have a plan yet, but I will", Pansy said sheepishly.
"Oh", Blaise said and they left together to go to the Astronomy tower to discuss "things".
Meanwhile Danyelle was in the Slytherin common room sucking on a sugar quill that Harry had gotten her after their last trip to Hogsmeade. She was writing a letter to her cousin Dalissa Flacour who lived in London with her boyfriend Oliver Wood.
Danyelle knew from Harry that Wood had graduated from Hogwarts only two years before she came here. Dalissa was a crazed Quidditch fanatic and from what Harry had said so was Oliver. That is were Danyelle had inherited the desire to play quidditch, becasue her father didn't trust brooms at all and raised winged horses and her mother had a terrible fear of heights and wouldn't touch a broomstick with a ten foot pole.
Dalissa had lived with them from the time she was eleven to the time she was seventeen and had attended Salem Institute For Higher Education with Danyelle. They had had some great times there but Lissa had always longed for England and ,even though at the time she wouldn't admit it, Oliver.
Danyelle could see how Lissa had always wanted to go to Hogwarts because it was a whole lot more exciting than Salem. Lissa had sent Danyelle a picture of herself and Oliver, or Oli as she called him, as they sat in a tree swing in Lissa and Oliver's garden at their home in London.
Danyelle agreed with Lissa, that Oliver was a total hottie, and he had a very cute accent or at least thats what Lissa always told Danyelle. Lissa and Oliver where a cute couple and you could tell they were in love even by just looking at the picture.
Since it was a wizarding picture it moved and Oliver kept pushing Danyelle while whispering sweet nothings into her ear, every once and a while Lissa would giggle and Oliver would blush.
Danyelle sucked harder on her quill and thought of a way to end the letter before her. So far it sayed,
Dear Cousin Lissa,
I am making friends fast and I have to agree with you that Hogwarts is better than Salem, and I don't doubt that you would have loved it here. How is Oliver????
Thank you for the picture! I have to agree with you that Oliver is way cute. I have to send you a picture of me and my best friend here, Draco.Remember how Oliver would describe him as "that slimy git" in his letters???
Well I think he is wrong about that, Draco is very kind and i think he is just umm misguided and he is really really hot. Okay to get the right picture of Draco you have to think very pale, with pale blond hair and grey eyes, but that just doesn't describe Draco, so you will have to see him for your self.
Draco might come and stay with me during Easter break. I knew you would be coming then and I really want you to meet him. I also made another friend, her name is Trinity and she is so nice!!!!
School work is going good, I am so ahead that everything is kinda boring. Oh and I am a Kasaser!!! I know you will probably read that line over and over again to make sure that it really says that but I am telling the truth. Dumbldore told me earlier today. Believe me no one was more shocked than I was.
The reason I found out I was, was well I went out with this boy named Terry Boot and I well let me just put it this way, beat him up, with out my knowledge.
Oh and then I picked him up and dropped him on the ground without my wand!!! I kinda also threw Draco into a wall but its okay cause Dumbldore made me do it cause he want to know how I was hurting Terry.
Don't worry Dumbldore may be eccentric but he is not crazy. I made the quidditch team!! I am now an offical Slytherin chaser!!! Well I Have to go I am going to play Draco a game of Chinese checkers. And I know what your wondering and no he hasn't beat me.
Love Your Cousin and Freind,
Danyelle
P.S. Sorry I haven't written to you in a couple of months, every thing has been a whirlwind of activity.
Danyelle added the post script and signed her name with a flourish.When Draco came down she was just tying the letter to Tashai's leg she opened the window and her horned owl fluttered out into the afternoon sun.
Draco sat across the table and said,"So who was that to".
"Oh it was a letter to my cousin Dalissa", Danyelles said watching as Tashai disapeared into the horizon.
"Oh", Draco said, "So can we start the game now".
"Yeah, are you ready to get your butt kicked", Danyelle asked.
"Yeah, Yeah just make your move", Draco said impatiently.
They were playing their third game which Draco was managing to beat Danyelle. She groaned as he made his move and put his last peice into his house winning the game.
"This is what I get for teaching you how to play better", Danyelle said exaperatedly.
Draco gave out a victory yell, and laughed at Danyelle's expresion.
She grabbed the pillow that was behind her and hit him hard on the head.
He grabbed his own pillow and the little pillow fight escalated to a full out war. Pansy walked in just as Draco had Danyelle pinned to the couche and was wacking her with his pillow.
Danyelle, in retalition started to tickle Draco and they fell off the couch into a heap on the floor.Neither had seen Pansy until she cleared her throat and kicked Danyelle in the ribs.
"Oh", Danyelle cryed grabbing her ribs.
Draco imedaitly jumped up in Danyelle's deffense.
"What did you do that for", he yelled angrily at Pansy.
"I accidently kicked Danyelle", Pansy said simply, "I didn't see her".
"Bullshit Pansy, you kicked her cause I am friends with her instead of you", Draco said still yelling. "and your jealous, but I am sick to death of your crap so just leave", Draco said pointing to the door.
Pansy hung her head and walked up the stairs to girls dorm. Draco turned to Danyelle and helped her up of the floor.
"Are you okay", he asked concernedly.
"Yeah, nothing serious", was her weezed reply, "I just had the wind knocked out of me."
Draco laughed and said , " Its a good thing she didn't sit on you or the fat cow would have crushed you".
Danyelle started to laugh but she stopped and grabbed her side. It was still kind of sore. Danyelle looked at her watched and sighed it was five minutes till dinner and she was starving.
Draco grabbed her hand and they made their way to the Great Hall the chinese checker board forgotten.
*********************************************************
Danyelle sat by Draco really leaning on him for suport. She didn't know why but her ribs still really hurt and she was beginning to wonder if she hadn't cracked one.
Every once in awhile she would look at the Gryffindor table and smile as Hermione gave her dissaproving looks, Ron gave her awed looks and Harry would smile every so often and give her a thumbs up.
What would she do without her friends she wonder. Danyelle was dying to go back to the common room and lay down, she had been done eating ten minutes ago, but Draco was still had plenty of food left and he was taking his own sweet time finnishing.
She yanked on his arm and he looked up at her questoiningly.
"Draco, can you please hurry I want to go back to the commons and lay down", she said whinnily.
"Why can't you go on your own", he asked taking tiny bites of his mashed potatoes.
"Cause I don't think I can walk that far. My ribs hurt like hell", she said sarcasticly.
"Oh", Draco said now shoveling food into his mouth at top speed.
Danyelle sighed and layed her head on the table and closed her eyes.She had not been feeling very well before Pansy kicked her, and she thought she was coming down with a fever.
Great she thought to herself it has been just one thing after another.
She heard a swishing noise above her head and she looked up. It was the owl post. She was just about to lay her head back down, when a huge tawny owl landed in her clam chouder.
She looked up and hurriedly untied the letter from the owls leg. I was a letter from Dalissa it said,
Dear Danyelle,
Thats great that you are making friends so quickly and I wouldn't doubt that I would have liked Hogwarts too. Oliver is fine he made it onto Puddlemere United's reserve team and is making a good sum of money.
Yes, Oliver is a doll isn't he. I am awating that picture of Draco. I trust your taste and think he will be hot.Yes, I do think Draco is probably misguided he is after all offspring from Luscious Malfoy.
That would be great if Draco came and stayed for Easter holidays. I would love to meet my favorite cousins best friend, or is it more.
Knowing you , you probably have the whole male population of Hogwarts wanting you.
And don't you dare deny it cause we both know its true. Especialy knowing what great-great-great-great-great grandma Sephoria was. So who is this Trinity? You have to tell me more about her.
Danyelle, admit it you are a genious I don't even know if Einstien could match wits with you. You probably could teach the teachers a thing or two in all your classes.
Your a what!!!!!That is so cool! And you were right i did read that line over and over again. I just can't believe it. Danyelle, you take it so lightly, do you realize the complecations?
Elle thats kinda scary, I really wouldn't want to get on your bad side. Oh and you were right about the me thinking Dumbldore is crazy, even though Oliver keeps reasuring me that he is a brillaint person, I can't help but think that he is bloody mad.
Thats great that you made the quidditch team! I always knew you would play quidditch, but don't tell Uncle Andrew that.
Chinese checkers, so I am going to assume you are teaching him how to play. You know I always thought you cheated some how. Well give my love to your parent and your little sis.
Love from Your Cousin and Friend,
Lissa, oh and Oli sends his love too.
P.S. Thats alright I am busy to, I have been redecorating me and Oli's flat in London. It is going quite nicely.
As Danyelle read the letter to herself she could almost hear Lissa saying the words. She missed Lissa alot the were very close when Lissa had lived with them while she attended Salem Institute.
Draco who had finally finished eating was reading the letter over Danyelle's shoulder.When he read the part about himself, he said,
"What have you been telling your cousin about me", he asked incredously.
Danyelle turned bright red. She ducked her head and mumbled,
"I just told her that her boyfriend, Oliver Wood ,was wrong and that you are not a slimy git. And I told her you that you might stay with me for Easter Holiday and that she could meet you."
"Are you sure thats all you told her because, what this about me being hot", Draco said pionting to the letter in Danyelle's hand," and that she trusts your judgment".
"Umm she just meant that she had heard you were hot and that she wanted to see for herself and that she trusts me to pick my friends", Danyelle said bushing an even deeper red.
"Oh", Draco said, letting it drop as Danyelle now resembled Ron when he blushed.
She stood up and he followed suite. She was leaning on him slightly because she was feeling light headed.
"Are you okay", Draco asked for the second time that day.
"I'm fine", Danyelle hissed. All this worrying over her was making her angry.
They walked out of the Great Hall, and where half way to the Slytherin Common rooms when Danyelle stared to lean more heavily on Draco.
"Are you sure your okay", he asked worriedly.
"I fine", she said again, but no sooner were the words out of her mouth when she slumped unconciosely into Draco. He caught her in his powerful arms and thought about what he should do.
He decided his best bet was to take her to the hospital wing and he turned ran back the way they had came.He burst trought the doors of the hospital wing and laid Danyelle onto an empty bed. No one was in sight and he guessed that everyone was still at lunch.\
He looked at Danyelle who was ghostly pale and was almost as white as the sheets and decided to go find Madame Pomfrey he was almost out the door when he ran head first into someone. It turned out it was Madame Pomfrey.
Draco started hurriedly explaining what had happened, but Madame Pomfrey was already in action. She shooed Draco out and closed the curtian around Danyelle's bed. Draco sat in the waiting area, doing just that ; waiting.
He could hear Madame Pomfrey on the other side of the curtian. Tut-tutting about how Danyelle was almost as bad a Potter at getting hurt.
Draco chuckled to himself, Danyelle was pretty good at getting into scrapes but not so good at gettingout of them.When Madame Pomfrey was done she came and got Draco. He went and sat by Danyelle, who was now awake.
"She had three broken ribs and a very severe fever. I fixed the ribs but I think the fever will go away better on its own. I think what this girl needs is some bed rest", Madame Pomfrey said coming around the curtain.
"Mr. Malfoy will you please escort her down to her dorm room and make sure she rests", Madame Pomfrey said helping Danyelle off the bed.
"Okay", Draco said grabbing Danyelle's hand and walking her to the door.
They made it back to the Slytherin Commons without further incident and as soon as Draco had Danyelle tucked into her own bed and had made sure she had went to sleep, he went in search of Pansy.
When he found her gossiping with a few of her girlfreinds, he stormed up to and imedaitly began to yell,
"I can't believe you! You stupid bitch. Do you even know what you did to Danyelle? You broke three of her ribs and if you weren't a girl, although thta remains to be proven, I would brake your ribs. But since you are, or at least pretend to be, a girl I will just do this", Draco raised his wand and performed the Engorment spell on her butt.
Her butt began to swell until it was so big she fell over from the weight of the humongouse thing that once was her butt.Draco laughed and laughed until he had tears in his eyes. Everyone else, who's attention had been drawn when Draco had started yelling, was sniggering behind their hands.
Danyelle , who had heard a big thud when Pansy had fallen over, was standing at the top of the stairs rubbing her eyes. She opened them wide when she notice the huge monstrosity that was Pansy.
She let out a long peal of laughter as Pansy rolled around on the floor trying to get up. By now Pansy's face was puffy from crying and as one of her girlfriends , that looked like a frog, helped her up she sobbed even louder.
"I hate you Draco Obsidous Malfoy," Pansy screeched at Draco, "Ever since Danyelle came you haven't been interested in me and I am sick of it. So go to hell".
Her friend grabbed her arm and they made their shaky way to the portait hole. Neither of them thinking to do the counter spell. But Danyelle did and she said it not wanting Draco to get into trouble.
Pansy looked back at her now normal butt, started crying even harder which really didn't make sense. She ran up the stairs to the fifth year girls dorm room with her hands over her face.
Danyelle turned to go back to her room which unfortunatly would now contain the sobbing Pansy, but Draco stopped her and said,
"I think you should stay away from Pansy for the time being so you can go and sleep on my bed, okay".
"Okay, anyway your right she would probably just sit there screaming at me about how I slipped a love potion into your drink and I don't want to deal with that right now", Danyelle said sleepily.
Draco chuckled and helped her to the fifth year boys dorm door, Draco opened the door a crack and made sure no one was inside. He helped Danyelle over to his bed, she laid down, and he tucked her in. He kissed her cheek before he left and ran out the door.
He was twenty minutes late for potions and he hoped Proffesor Snape wasn't in to foul a mood, cause then he would be in real hot water.
Luckily for him though Snape only said he would have to do an extra credit report on the "Living Death".
That was okay with Draco he could use alittle extra credit anyway.
Draco did have to explain that he had a written note from Madame Pomfrey about Danyelle not being able to make it.Snape checked it over carefully for a forgery , but finding none motioned for DRaco tot sit down.
Harry, Ron and Hermione kept looking at Draco questoining and it was really bugging him. Finally when they did it for the seventh time that hour he turned around when Snape wasn't close by and said,
"What are three staring at, I know I am good looking but do have to stare so rudley", Draco whispered nastily.
"Sod off Malfoy, we just want to know whats wrong with Danyelle", Harry spit out after glaring at Draco for a few seconds.
"Yes, what is wrong with her", Hermione asked concernedly.
"Well if you must know she has a severe fever, Pansy broke three of her ribs and she is resting in my room, because Pansy is sobbing her eyes out in the girls dorm room, oh and also she is a Kasaser and Granger you might want to fill Potty and the Weasel in because I can tell they have no idea what I am talking about", Draco said taking on his famous bored drawl.
Draco moved away as Ron, Hermoine and Harry talked huriedly amongst themselves. The lesson finnished and Draco shoved all his thing into his cauldron. Snape walked by and reminded him of his extra credit report and then let him leave.
Draco had alittle break in between classes so he ran back to the Slytherin Commons to see how Danyelle was doing when he got there she was still sound asleep. He sat on the edge of his bed for a moment just watching her sleep, but he was interupted by a scratching on the window.
It was his father's owl Quintaruis. Draco had written to his father a few days ago asking if he could stay the Easter holidays with Danyelle's family. He anxiously riped hte letter open and read,
Dear Draco,
I got your owl a few day ago and I have but one question to ask about this girl Danyelle. Is she a pureblood, because I do not want you to be around Mudblood riffraff like that Granger girl. Please tell me of what bloodline she is and you can stay with her.
Your esteemed father,
L.M.
Draco reread the letter in disbelief. How was he going to pull off lying about Danyelle's bloodline. Well he would asked her when she awoke.If anyone was clever enough to pull that off it would be her.
He set the letter on his bedside table, grabbed his books and headed out the door.He was going to have to have Danyelle help him with his extra credit report. He knew what went into the Living Death but he didn't know its orrigans,Draco thought as he walked to Divination.
When Danyelle woke up it was only a half an hour after she had fallen asleep. She looked at the clock and groaned it was only two o'clock and Draco would be in Divination.
She sat up and looked around her, on the foot of her bed was a heavy green throw that Draco had gotten from his mother for Christmas. On his night table was a collection of Chocolate Frog's cards and a beaten up copy of Quidditch Through The Ages. But tucked underneath it all was a crumpled up peice of paper.
Danyelle looked at it interestedly and picked it up. It was a letter, she could tell that from the Malfoy crest stamped on the front. She didn't want to eavesdrop, but this got her senses ticking she wondered what Draco's father had said about him coming and staying with her.
She couldn't resist the temptation, she unfolded the letter and read it. When she got done, she couldn't believe how much Mr. Malfoy cared about bloodlines. Well she new she wasn't a pureblood so she was going ot have to think of someway of saying she was. She thought about all her relatives and their heritages.
Danyelle would have been a pureblood except that her dad married her mom. Her mom was a pureblood, but her father and his father where the only wizards out of a long line of muggles. She could just write up a fake family tree just saying that her fathers ancestors, she supposed.
She folded the letter neatly and tucked it back where it had been. She lay back on Draco's bed thinking about how she was going pull off scaming Lucious Malfoy for almost another half an hour before she finally sucumbed and fell asleep once again.
A/N: Okay that was my longest chapter ever, I just kept writing and writing, I really couldn't think of a good way to end it. Well what did you think? Danyelle just can't stay out of trouble can she. Well what you waiting for click that little blue box and tell me what you think!!!!!!

And don't you dare deny it cause we both know its true. Especialy knowing what great-great-great-great-great grandma Sephoria was. So who is this Trinity? You have to tell me more about her.
Danyelle, admit it you are a genious I don't even know if Einstien could match wits with you. You probably could teach the teachers a thing or two in all your classes.
Your a what!!!!!That is so cool! And you were right i did read that line over and over again. I just can't believe it. Danyelle, you take it so lightly, do you realize the complecations?
Elle thats kinda scary, I really wouldn't want to get on your bad side. Oh and you were right about the me thinking Dumbldore is crazy, even though Oliver keeps reasuring me that he is a brillaint person, I can't help but think that he is bloody mad.
Thats great that you made the quidditch team! I always knew you would play quidditch, but don't tell Uncle Andrew that.
Chinese checkers, so I am going to assume you are teaching him how to play. You know I always thought you cheated some how. Well give my love to your parent and your little sis.
Love from Your Cousin and Friend,
Lissa, oh and Oli sends his love too.
P.S. Thats alright I am busy to, I have been redecorating me and Oli's flat in London. It is going quite nicely.
As Danyelle read the letter to herself she could almost hear Lissa saying the words. She missed Lissa alot the were very close when Lissa had lived with them while she attended Salem Institute.
Draco who had finally finished eating was reading the letter over Danyelle's shoulder.When he read the part about himself, he said,
"What have you been telling your cousin about me", he asked incredously.
Danyelle turned bright red. She ducked her head and mumbled,
"I just told her that her boyfriend, Oliver Wood ,was wrong and that you are not a slimy git. And I told her you that you might stay with me for Easter Holiday and that she could meet you."
"Are you sure thats all you told her because, what this about me being hot", Draco said pionting to the letter in Danyelle's hand," and that she trusts your judgment".
"Umm she just meant that she had heard you were hot and that she wanted to see for herself and that she trusts me to pick my friends", Danyelle said bushing an even deeper red.
"Oh", Draco said, letting it drop as Danyelle now resembled Ron when he blushed.
She stood up and he followed suite. She was leaning on him slightly because she was feeling light headed.
"Are you okay", Draco asked for the second time that day.
"I'm fine", Danyelle hissed. All this worrying over her was making her angry.
They walked out of the Great Hall, and where half way to the Slytherin Common rooms when Danyelle stared to lean more heavily on Draco.
"Are you sure your okay", he asked worriedly.
"I fine", she said again, but no sooner were the words out of her mouth when she slumped unconciosely into Draco. He caught her in his powerful arms and thought about what he should do.
He decided his best bet was to take her to the hospital wing and he turned ran back the way they had came.He burst trought the doors of the hospital wing and laid Danyelle onto an empty bed. No one was in sight and he guessed that everyone was still at lunch.\
He looked at Danyelle who was ghostly pale and was almost as white as the sheets and decided to go find Madame Pomfrey he was almost out the door when he ran head first into someone. It turned out it was Madame Pomfrey.
Draco started hurriedly explaining what had happened, but Madame Pomfrey was already in action. She shooed Draco out and closed the curtian around Danyelle's bed. Draco sat in the waiting area, doing just that ; waiting.
He could hear Madame Pomfrey on the other side of the curtian. Tut-tutting about how Danyelle was almost as bad a Potter at getting hurt.
Draco chuckled to himself, Danyelle was pretty good at getting into scrapes but not so good at gettingout of them.When Madame Pomfrey was done she came and got Draco. He went and sat by Danyelle, who was now awake.
"She had three broken ribs and a very severe fever. I fixed the ribs but I think the fever will go away better on its own. I think what this girl needs is some bed rest", Madame Pomfrey said coming around the curtain.
"Mr. Malfoy will you please escort her down to her dorm room and make sure she rests", Madame Pomfrey said helping Danyelle off the bed.
"Okay", Draco said grabbing Danyelle's hand and walking her to the door.
They made it back to the Slytherin Commons without further incident and as soon as Draco had Danyelle tucked into her own bed and had made sure she had went to sleep, he went in search of Pansy.
When he found her gossiping with a few of her girlfreinds, he stormed up to and imedaitly began to yell,
"I can't believe you! You stupid bitch. Do you even know what you did to Danyelle? You broke three of her ribs and if you weren't a girl, although thta remains to be proven, I would brake your ribs. But since you are, or at least pretend to be, a girl I will just do this", Draco raised his wand and performed the Engorment spell on her butt.
Her butt began to swell until it was so big she fell over from the weight of the humongouse thing that once was her butt.Draco laughed and laughed until he had tears in his eyes. Everyone else, who's attention had been drawn when Draco had started yelling, was sniggering behind their hands.
Danyelle , who had heard a big thud when Pansy had fallen over, was standing at the top of the stairs rubbing her eyes. She opened them wide when she notice the huge monstrosity that was Pansy.
She let out a long peal of laughter as Pansy rolled around on the floor trying to get up. By now Pansy's face was puffy from crying and as one of her girlfriends , that looked like a frog, helped her up she sobbed even louder.
"I hate you Draco Obsidous Malfoy," Pansy screeched at Draco, "Ever since Danyelle came you haven't been interested in me and I am sick of it. So go to hell".
Her friend grabbed her arm and they made their shaky way to the portait hole. Neither of them thinking to do the counter spell. But Danyelle did and she said it not wanting Draco to get into trouble.
Pansy looked back at her now normal butt, started crying even harder which really didn't make sense. She ran up the stairs to the fifth year girls dorm room with her hands over her face.
Danyelle turned to go back to her room which unfortunatly would now contain the sobbing Pansy, but Draco stopped her and said,
"I think you should stay away from Pansy for the time being so you can go and sleep on my bed, okay".
"Okay, anyway your right she would probably just sit there screaming at me about how I slipped a love potion into your drink and I don't want to deal with that right now", Danyelle said sleepily.
Draco chuckled and helped her to the fifth year boys dorm door, Draco opened the door a crack and made sure no one was inside. He helped Danyelle over to his bed, she laid down, and he tucked her in. He kissed her cheek before he left and ran out the door.
He was twenty minutes late for potions and he hoped Proffesor Snape wasn't in to foul a mood, cause then he would be in real hot water.
Luckily for him though Snape only said he would have to do an extra credit report on the "Living Death".
That was okay with Draco he could use alittle extra credit anyway.
Draco did have to explain that he had a written note from Madame Pomfrey about Danyelle not being able to make it.Snape checked it over carefully for a forgery , but finding none motioned for DRaco tot sit down.
Harry, Ron and Hermione kept looking at Draco questoining and it was really bugging him. Finally when they did it for the seventh time that hour he turned around when Snape wasn't close by and said,
"What are three staring at, I know I am good looking but do have to stare so rudley", Draco whispered nastily.
"Sod off Malfoy, we just want to know whats wrong with Danyelle", Harry spit out after glaring at Draco for a few seconds.
"Yes, what is wrong with her", Hermione asked concernedly.
"Well if you must know she has a severe fever, Pansy broke three of her ribs and she is resting in my room, because Pansy is sobbing her eyes out in the girls dorm room, oh and also she is a Kasaser and Granger you might want to fill Potty and the Weasel in because I can tell they have no idea what I am talking about", Draco said taking on his famous bored drawl.
Draco moved away as Ron, Hermoine and Harry talked huriedly amongst themselves. The lesson finnished and Draco shoved all his thing into his cauldron. Snape walked by and reminded him of his extra credit report and then let him leave.
Draco had alittle break in between classes so he ran back to the Slytherin Commons to see how Danyelle was doing when he got there she was still sound asleep. He sat on the edge of his bed for a moment just watching her sleep, but he was interupted by a scratching on the window.
It was his father's owl Quintaruis. Draco had written to his father a few days ago asking if he could stay the Easter holidays with Danyelle's family. He anxiously riped hte letter open and read,
Dear Draco,
I got your owl a few day ago and I have but one question to ask about this girl Danyelle. Is she a pureblood, because I do not want you to be around Mudblood riffraff like that Granger girl. Please tell me of what bloodline she is and you can stay with her.
Your esteemed father,
L.M.
Draco reread the letter in disbelief. How was he going to pull off lying about Danyelle's bloodline. Well he would asked her when she awoke.If anyone was clever enough to pull that off it would be her.
He set the letter on his bedside table, grabbed his books and headed out the door.He was going to have to have Danyelle help him with his extra credit report. He knew what went into the Living Death but he didn't know its orrigans,Draco thought as he walked to Divination.
When Danyelle woke up it was only a half an hour after she had fallen asleep. She looked at the clock and groaned it was only two o'clock and Draco would be in Divination.
She sat up and looked around her, on the foot of her bed was a heavy green throw that Draco had gotten from his mother for Christmas. On his night table was a collection of Chocolate Frog's cards and a beaten up copy of Quidditch Through The Ages. But tucked underneath it all was a crumpled up peice of paper.
Danyelle looked at it interestedly and picked it up. It was a letter, she could tell that from the Malfoy crest stamped on the front. She didn't want to eavesdrop, but this got her senses ticking she wondered what Draco's father had said about him coming and staying with her.
She couldn't resist the temptation, she unfolded the letter and read it. When she got done, she couldn't believe how much Mr. Malfoy cared about bloodlines. Well she new she wasn't a pureblood so she was going ot have to think of someway of saying she was. She thought about all her relatives and their heritages.
Danyelle would have been a pureblood except that her dad married her mom. Her mom was a pureblood, but her father and his father where the only wizards out of a long line of muggles. She could just write up a fake family tree just saying that her fathers ancestors, she supposed.
She folded the letter neatly and tucked it back where it had been. She lay back on Draco's bed thinking about how she was going pull off scaming Lucious Malfoy for almost another half an hour before she finally sucumbed and fell asleep once again.
A/N: Okay that was my longest chapter ever, I just kept writing and writing, I really couldn't think of a good way to end it. Well what did you think? Danyelle just can't stay out of trouble can she. Well what you waiting for click that little blue box and tell me what you think!!!!!!
