Author's note: Thanks a whole lot for the reviews and constructive
criticism. It helped a lot. I always update in school since my friend is
the only one who knows how. I hope that the librarian doesn't come up to us
while updating and decides to read! My brothers already know my agenda,
well one of them. He's begging my friend to put his Beyblade fan fic on the
net. I find him so pathetic. Hahahahahahahahahaha. I don't own Harry Potter
but I do own the freaky Slytherin (Alex) and the poor Hogsmeade guy
(Sammy). Oh, and thanks for the correction. I now know that it's spelled
'Cest la vie' and not se' la vie.
Chapter 5: The Glint of Hope
Draco Malfoy woke with a start. He smirked as he bashed his magical alarm clock. Today is the day Alex Falser learns a lesson, nobody interferes with what a Malfoy wants. He walked into the cozy bathroom and started to take off his clothes, then went into the swimming pool-like bathtub. As the water rose up to his well-built chest, he started to relax. Draco was suddenly lost in his thoughts as the mist filled the bathroom. 'Ah. yes. Alex Falser is going to be a dead man. Giving Granger a hickey was the last draw. Granger is mine, all mine.' He thought silently.
Then out of nowhere, a voice just like his started to speak. 'Look at yourself, Draco! You've caused Hermione so much grieve already!'
"What the hell?! Hello is anyone here? Granger, is that you?" Draco squinted his eyes hoping to catch Hermione naked, accidentally not knowing that there was an occupant. "It must be the warmth of this place. Yes, that's all. I'm not losing it. Never."
'Oh but you are losing it. You're losing your dignity! And you plan to take an innocent woman's dignity away as well! You evil, nefarious, incorrigible.' the voice screamed in his head.
"Cunning, slick, handsome, rich, muscular." Draco said continuing the voice's sentence.
'You can't even listen to your own conscience! I can't believe that you're even mocking me when you're supposed to be at my mercy, begging for repentance for the horrid thing you've done!'
"You be at my mercy. I'm not taking commands from anyone. Precious, I want my precious." Draco was mocking his own conscience and didn't notice that someone had stepped in.
"Malfoy? Is that you? Who are you with in here?! This is supposed to be a private suite, no visitors!"
"Granger? What are you doing in- Augh! Get out! I'm butt naked for crying out loud!"
Hermione Granger stood there only in her towel and fuzzy blue bunny slippers. She started to laugh, "When did you get so shy? You're always so confident. Don't tell me there's a tinsy winsy secret you haven't told anyone. more like shown, that is."
Draco Malfoy raised an eyebrow at the foolish girl, "No. But it IS rude to walk in while someone is taking a bath."
"Yeah, and have private conversations with themselves." Hermione laughed at her own hackneyed remark.
"When did you become such a Mary-Sue, Granger? Finally found hope in this tight fix you're in?" Malfoy said in a husky voice. He was raising his body out of the water and noticed Hermione's eyes widen. "Tsk, tsk, down girl. I'm not giving a free show. Remember that. If you want something I'll have something more extravagant in return." He said with a wink then snagged his towel to cover himself.
"Excuse me. I expect nothing from you so bugger off. And if you were wondering, I got more confidence last night after the horrendous experience! I'm about to tell Harry and Ron, so one last slip and I really will tell." She walked past Draco and drained the tub.
'Bitch' he thought as he dragged his feet cautiously to a squatted Granger. He pushed her into the large tub and jumped in. "Who would believe you, Granger. Why would they?" he asked menacingly as he waddled closer to her.
Hermione was cowering on the other side and he was now face to face with her. Then she took a deep breath 'Don't be intimidated, Hermione. I can do this.' and looked straight into his silver gray (a/n: same thing, right?) blue eyes and growled, "Harry and Ron will believe me! And do you know why? Because they're my best friends and your enemies!" And with that, she punched his nose like she had done in her third year, grabbed her towel and ran out the bathroom. Left there was Draco, clutching his bruised nose. The rest of the water was now in the deep color of red. "Oh, fuck. That bitch left me a bloody nose. She WILL pay for this crap." *******************************
Draco made his way through the Great Hall, the chatters; giggles and whines filled the majestic place. "FAAAAALSEEER!!!!" he started to push everyone out of his way to get to the Slytherin table. There, he saw Alex Falser being hand fed strawberries in cream by, who else, that whore, Pansy Parkinson. Draco pulled her away from Alex and narrowed his eyes on him. Alex wiped his mouth slowly with a cloth napkin and stood up to look at his furious fellow Slytherin. Draco held him by the collar and told him so soft that only both of them could hear, "What did you do to Granger?" Alex looked at him and grinned. He loosened Draco's grip and brushed himself. "Do you really want to know, Malfoy?"
"Of course I do! You gave her a hickey! Right smack on the middle of her neck!" Draco was fuming and screamed it out loud. The whole hall gasped and hushed into murmurs and looked around. Draco caught sight of Hermione and she was the only one in a scarf, and clutching it like it was dear life. Alex's grin widened and whispered to Draco, "Look at her. Clutching on her dear scarf. It's pretty obvious that it's her who's got the mark I left her." "Why did you do it, Alex?" Draco asked. It was a stupid question to ask a Slytherin though. "Well, let me describe it. I was just talking to her and in a few moments, we were snogging. Then I held her breast and oh wait, before all that, I licked her earlobe and she just gave in. Of course, she was dumbfounded and tried to run. I was just too fast for her and pushed her down. Then, voila! What do you know, a hickey!" Alex said bobbing his head up and down.
Draco glared at him and punched him with full force, "She is mine. I want her and I will eliminate every competitive to win the prize." Alex punched back and soon they were in a violent melee. Draco felt blood trickle once again from his nose and lips. He licked his lips and took a peek at Hermione.
She looked very uncomfortable as Ron and Harry nudged her to do something about the situation. She stood up, fumbling a bit, with her the rest of the Dream Team following behind her, and walked over to the Slytherin table. "Falser! Malfoy! Stop now. You should be ashamed of yourself, Malfoy. It's not even the start of classes and you're already starting fights!"
"Granger, Granger, Granger. Come to have more?" Alex smirked at her.
She looked at him in shock then, anger. "Leave me alone. You harassed me, you bastard."
"You kissed back. I just did the rest." Alex answered evilly. Harry and Ron looked at them in shock, "No, Hermione. Please, no. That could never have happened. He's a Slytherin!"
"He practically lunged into me. I then realized, and tried to escape but. he pushed me down on the floor and sucked on my neck." Hermione was practically yelling without noticing Professor McGonagall who had come over to break up the confusion was now standing behind them, hearing each and every word.
"Is that so, Ms. Granger. Mr.Falser, YOU will come with me to my office. I will talk to Severus about such an IMMORAL attitude for a Hogwarts student!" McGonagall took him by the ear and dragged the whining boy away from the Great Hall. McGonagall was muttering something about assaulting the Head Girl under her breath.
Ron and Harry stared at Hermione in panic, "You never told us?" "It happened last night! I hope he gets a big punishment for this!" Hermione replied, "Hurry! We've got Herbology in Green House 9! That's the farthest from this building!"
And with that, she forced the rest of the Golden Trio out the hall.
'Weird. She didn't report me, but she did tattle tale on Alex. Arrogant bastard. He deserved it.' Draco was pondering on what just happened. 'Look. Hermione saved your ass from trouble! Do her a favor and lay low a bit' his conscience whispered.
"Dracooooo. since Alex is now gone, could you assist me later in my room. It feels sooo lonely up there all alone." The ear-splitting whine of Pansy Parkinson broke Draco's thoughts. "No, Pansy. Go swoon over Crabbe instead. I overheard some first years say that he was cute." Draco replied straightforwardly.
"But, Drakie. I want you." She bit on his neck gently and slid her tongue out to lick him. "Stop it" he said firmly. Pansy continued to trail around his neck, "Oh, I just love it when you get so straight." He grabbed her shoulders and shoved her back, "When I say stop, I mean it!"
He took a piece of toast and his school schedule, and marched out the Great Hall with everyone still staring, astonished with what just happened. Draco ate his toast and walked to the Hospital Wing to have his most likely broken nose and popped lips healed. "Mr. Malfoy! It seems you have gotten into another fight. I really wish you kids would stop these horrible messes and patch things up peacefully." Madam Pomfrey berated while rubbing a clear jelly on his nose and delicate lips, "There, all done. You may leave and go back to your class." Draco checked the mirror and his nose was back to normal as well was his lips. "Thank you, Madam Pomfrey." "Welcome sweedie." He walked briskly and checked his schedule. "Shit! It's Double Potions first thing! I'll receive detention for my tardiness." He broke to a run and went as fast as his slender muscular legs could bring him to the Dungeons.
"Mr. Malfoy, late at the very first day of lessons. I expect better of you for you are the Head Boy of Hogwarts. You are the lead example for the rest of the students and you turn up TARDY for my class!" The booming voice of Snape could be heard three flights up.
"Sorry professor. It won't happen again, I promise. I had to go to the Infirmary to get my broken nose healed." Draco truthfully reasoned out.
"It could have been done earlier! Detention later at 8 o' clock sharp! See me here to receive it." Snape hissed.
Time has not made the old humdrum kinder.
Author (again): Wow! That chapter really sucked! I also totally left out Crookshanks. Anyway, I tried my best to lay low. I've got a whole lot more of ideas but I just have to patch them all up. They aren't quite steamy as before cause it's going to turn into an angst ficcie (not so much angst that Hermione or Draco tries to kill his/herself, not anything like that). I'm not sure though if I should put any romance between Hermione and Draco. Nah. I'll just add in a psychopathic killer, though (I already have the right character in mind). I am so ashamed! My friends think I'm a sick bisexual lunatic after reading this but IN TRUTH I AM NOT!!!! Coz I have feelings for only one guy and him alone! He is a real person, a friend actually. He has caused me so much pain already coz of his girlfriend. He's practically head over heels for her. I'm not jealous, just filled with agony in my damned soul and forsaken heart. He is so perfect. Smart, a gentleman, athletic, nice, caring, etc. if only he wasn't so ignorant and blunt! I invited him to watch a movie with his sister and what does he reply? "Sure. Can I meet someone there, though? My girlfriend."(JERK!) Right then and there my teeny-weeny porcelain heart shattered as I put on a fake and plastic smile saying, "Go ahead." And here I am, writing this stupid story. It's his life so I shouldn't meddle in his affair with the lady he's in love with. This is the ill fate I am shunned away with. How sad. (Sings: Everything's so blurry, everyone's so fake are those the correct lines? -Blurry; Puddle of Mudd.)
