A/n- Yeah. I dont own anyone but the Dratens.
Chapter 12: The Visit and the News
The four of them decided to visit Hagrid, since they only saw him usually during class. They banged on the door, and he swung it open.
"How nice ter see yer four! Come in!" Hagrid said, smiling. They entered, and took seats wherever there was room.
"How are you doing Hagrid?" Harry asked.
"Im fine. I was abou' ter ask yer the same question...and how yer handlin' tha' curse." Hagrid said.
"The curse? Oh its okay. It hasnt started yet, but Draco and me both know its effecting us." Kiara said.
"Draco? Malfoy? Am I missin' somethin'?" Hagrid asked. Kiara then realized they hadnt told Hagrid anything since the first day of school, really. So Kiara told the whole, long story, including everything they had found out.
"Well. Im jus' surprised tha' you and Malfoy are the victims." Hagrid said, looking quite shocked.
"Yeah, but it was meant to be. All Dratens fall in love with Malfoys, and vice versa." Hermione said.
"And yer sure the feelings are real? Its no' like Malfoy is jus' likin' yer cause he knows yer gunna end up likin' each other anyway?" Hagrid asked.
"Im wondering that. I know I like him, and I have liked him before I knew he was the victim. I just hope he has liked me before he knew. He might not even like me, true. I mean, he could have asked because he knew I liked him, or something." Kiara mumbled.
"Did you see his face?" Ron asked, giggling.
"Wha' happened to his face?" Hagrid asked, smiling.
"He has a huge bruise on his cheek, and its puffy, and he has a blackish eye." Harry said, laughing.
"Well, its only bruisey below his eye. But its really close to it, so thats why it looks black." Hermione said. Kiara uncomfortably shifted around in her seat. She didnt like them being mean about Draco, then again, they loved it so. Hermione knew this. She gave a quick smile, and went back to being quiet. Harry glanced at Kiara, and stopped laughing, and nudged Ron in the ribs to make him stop.
"I asked him what happened to him, and all he said was that he screwed up." Kiara said.
"I wonder what he screwed up? Does he mean he did something that messed up, and hurt him? Or like, someone else hurt him for him screwing up?" Ron asked.
"Well, in detention last night, he kept spazzing out, saying he had to get to his common room, because he had some meeting that he couldnt miss. He looked REALLY scared too." Harry said.
"Meeting? Odd." Hermione said.
"Well...maybe he was worried because whoever he had a meeting with would be angry for him missing it." Ron said.
"And...maybe it would make it worse, that he missed the meeting because of a detention." Harry said.
"Well...do we know anyone who would be angry at Draco for missing a meeting because of a detention? He was obviously scared, thinking of what would happen if he missed it. Theres someone he is afraid of..." Kiara mumbled.
"Well....I remember in my second year.....when I used the Floo Powder and went to Knockturn Alley......I was hiding in a closet..and Malfoy and his dad were selling things." Harry said.
"So?" Ron asked.
"Well, his dad got all mad at him for not having the highest grade of his year." Harry said.
"Yeah, his father expects him to be perfect, and not screw up." Ron said.
"Screw up? Thats what he did....." Kiara mumbled.
"You dont think his father would hit him....do you? And why would his father be here? He is a deatheater." Hermione said.
"Well....the curse is supposed ter kill yer and Malfoy on Christmas, Righ'? Well....you-know-who and Lucius are pretty close, I bet......" Hagrid mumbled.
"Do you think Malfoy is setting it up?" Kiara asked, wide-eyed.
"Thats a possibility, sorry to say. Another one is that the feelings are real for both of you, and his father is maybe....excited for both of you to die." Hermione said.
"I need to find out what happened last night." Kiara said, looking determined. She stood up.
"Yeah, we should go, its lunch right now, so we have time to find him. Nice seeing you again, Hagrid!" Harry said, grinning. Ron and Hermione waved, as did Kiara.
"Be careful, yer four. No' tryin' ter be mean, but yer three," He said, pointing to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, "Seem to discover all the secrets here....which ain' tha' good....."
They left after that.
"I need to ask him." Kiara said immediatly, once they made it to a bench. They all sat.
"But he said he was going to his common room. You wont see him until Double Potions tomarrow morning. Or at the Great Hall for dinner tonight." Hermione said.
"He wont answer your question anyway, remember? Earlier he didnt. Only if we could overhear him telling his dumb friends. But we cant get close enough to hear, without them spotting us, and being jerks." Ron said.
"I have the best idea. The cloak has enough room for the four of us." Harry said, smirking.
"....but he is in the common room!" Hermione said impatiently.
"Exactly. In our second year....me and Harry took the Polyjuice and became Crabbe and Goyle, remember?" Ron asked.
"So...you remember the password? Dont you think they wouldve changed it?" Hermione asked, looking at them like they were brainless.
"Oh. Yeah. Nevermind!" Harry exclaimed, mentally smacking himself.
**
The rest of the day, they just wandered around the school grounds, bored out of their minds.
Well, they werent annoyed or anything. At first.
"All right, Harry?" They heard a voice yell. Colin Creevy and Dennis Creevy came running over to the bench they were at.
"Hello Colin. Hello Dennis." They all said.
"Harry, and Kiara, can we have your autographs? We are making a collection of all the Gryffindor's players pictures and signatures. Then were sending it to our parents." Colin said, grinning.
"And after we get Gryffiindor, we are doing Slytherin. We dont like them or anything at all, but we want a collage of the two rival teams, and we want pictures of you guys beating them!" Dennis said, showing a teethy smile. So Harry signed a picture of him that Colin had taken during a game last year, and Colin took a quick picture of Kiara, and had her sign it.
"Are you excited for the game tomarrow?" Colin asked, his face red.
"Game tomarrow?" Harry and Kiara asked at the same time.
"Yes....professor Dumbledore made the announcement at the beginning of lunch today. Werent you two there?" Colin asked. If as if on a cue, Angelina walked over.
"Potter, Draten, did you hear about the game tomarrow?" She asked. They nodded. "Well, Dumbledore said it would be a good way to end before break. We get out of classes at two, and quidditch teams practice until the game, at 3. Then we get done hopefully by 4 or 5, giving us an hour to get ready." She said.
"Thats great! I thought it was cancelled!" Harry exclaimed, grinning widely.
"My first game! Im so nervous!" Kiara said, freaking out. Angelina smiled, and walked away.
"Wow. We will definantly be cheering for sure!" Colin said, smiling. Dennis nodded his head quickly. Dennis and Colin walked off.
"I cant wait!" Harry said, laughing.
A/n- mainly explaining chapter. but oh well. I promise it will get better!
