Chapter 5
........:::::::: Defense Against The Dark Arts Class, Later The Same Day ::::::::........
Draco sat down on his seat in the classroom.
He didn't like this class anymore, the new Professor, Mrs. Barton, seemed to prefer girls, Gryffindor girls and sometimes even Angelique.
He looked at the entering Professor.
She was in her early thirties and looked strong and brave.
She was tall and had short black hair.
Her skin was always tanned, Draco presumed that she was using some kind of spell.
Her eyes...
Well, he couldn't explain how her eyes looked like...
They seemed to be dark blue or almost purple at times, but not always.
'Maybe she's wearing contacs,' Draco thought and listened to the teacher.
"Silence, class. I've told you many times that I don't need any disturbers in this classroom."
Prof. Barton looked around in the class.
"Good. Now, today we are going to practice defense and attack spells. We won't be using spells that would kill you or hurt you a lot, just some easier ones. Please everyone, choose your partners."
Draco hurried next to Angelique, "Wanna be my partner, Kou?"
Angelique looked around in the class and saw that everyone was paired already.
"I don't want to, but I have to."
Draco grinned and said, "Ladies first, please."
"Oh, really? I'll make you feel sorry for that."
And so the spell-war had begun.
And ended when the bell rang.
....:::::::: The Great Hall, Lunch ::::::::....
Angelique felt tired.
The day had been hard so far, plus the incident last night.
She dreamed of curling up in her bed, falling asleep and seeing beautiful dreams.
So far she had only fell asleep for a minute in some class.
She didn't feel hungry at all; maybe some refreshing salad and a cool drink would do.
Uhh, maybe she'd just ask a permission to go to her room and not be in the next classes.
Maybe not.
Angelique took some good-looking salad from a nearby bowl and ate it slowly.
A song, she didn't remember where she had heard it, started to haunt her...
*A hand above the water, an angel reaching for the sky*
She let the song play in her mind.
It seemed so familiar.
Yet so strange.
*Is it raining in heaven, do you want us to cry?*
Angelique took a deep breath. Why was this song making her feel so. weird?
*And everywhere the broken-hearted, on every lonely avenue No-one could reach them, no-one but you*
Angelique looked at the enchanted ceiling of the Great Hall.
*One by one*
She started to feel really funny. or rather weirder than ever.
*Only the good die young They're only flying too close to the sun And life goes on Without you*
Angelique looked down.
'Only the good die young. It seems to be my destiny. To die young.' She thought and the song disappeared from her thoughts.
....:::::::: Angelique's Room ::::::::....
'Finally. The school day is over. I can go to sleep. Ohh, this feels good.' Angelique thought as she closed her green eyes and fell asleep.
The night would be for sleeping for Angelique and many others in Hogwarts.
Except for a half-giant out in the Hogwarts' grounds.
....:::::::: Hagrid's House ::::::::....
Hagrid couldn't sleep.
He closed his eyes and saw Amelile's face.
He opened his eyes and couldn't help but think of her.
Hagrid was having a hard time avoiding Angelique.
She had dashed in the Great Hall like a fallen and tired angel today in the morning.
Hagrid wasn't falling in love with her.
She just reminded him of Amelile.
He never knew what happened to her.
Maybe she had a lovely elf-family and many beautiful children.
Hagrid sometimes dreamed of being a father.
He sometimes considered Harry his son.
Madame Maxime had taken his heart last summer, but he never forgot his first love, Amelile.
Hagrid closed his eyes and tried to sleep, though he didn't succeed.
....:::::::: Slytherin Boys' Dorm ::::::::....
Draco fell asleep instantly after going to bed.
He saw Angelique waving at him, smiling sweetly.
She called him to come to her.
Draco ran to her, but she was going further with his every step.
Suddenly a huge black figure came behind Angelique and she fought him, tried to make him leave, she pushed him down a cliff and fell there too.
Draco ran to the cliff and looked down.
He saw Angelique holding on to a rock.
But then she fell in the darkness.
He heard her screaming and jumped too.
And when he landed, he saw her bloody body lying on the cold rocks.
He ran to her body, put her head in his lap, tried to wake her up.
And then Draco woke up panting and breathless.
'God, what was that.? Just a nightmare. Please let it be a meaningless nightmare like the one I saw when I was small. The one with that long black panther who wanted to eat me alive.'
Draco turned his back to the wall and fell asleep once more.
....:::::::: The Great Hall, Head Table, Breakfast ::::::::....
"So, Albus, when are you going to tell us the big secret about Ms. Kou?" Prof. Sprout asked.
"Patience, only patience. You'll find out someday, all of you. I promise."
"Alright. But when exactly is someday?" Prof. Hooch was the next to be interested in the matter.
"Oh. Well, I could tell you all this when we send students away for the summer."
"Albus?"
"Yes, Sybill?"
"I have been seeing the future in my dreams lately. Angelique's future to be exact."
"And what happened?"
"She got killed."
McGonagall smirked at this.
This was definitely the Prof. Trelawney she knew.
'Two years ago Potter was to be killed and now Kou. She sees everyone's death in my opinion.'
"Oh. I'm quite sorry to say, Sybill, but I think that Ms. Kou will decide when she'll die, on her own."
Dumbledore looked over his half-moon glass with a mischievous look in his eyes.
....:::::::: Later The Same Day, Hogsmeade ::::::::....
Angelique looked around her.
'God, I hope that Malfoy didn't see where I was going.' She thought while sneaking in Honeydukes.
She looked at the many sweets and started to feel sick after looking at too many.
She had never liked sweets, some Elven sweets maybe, not those what were sold at Honeydukes.
Angelique quickly slipped out of the crowded shop and looked towards a formal muggle clothes shop.
'This is weird. Hogsmeade is an all-witches-and-wizards village, why should they need a formal *muggle* clothes shop? Oh well, don't care, I'll just take a look inside. I need a dress anyway.'
Angelique stepped in the shop and went to see the formal dresses.
~* With Harry, Ron and Hermione *~
"Hey, guys, you wanted to see some tuxedos? Look, here's a formal muggle clothes shop," Hermione leaded the boys towards the shop.
As they entered the shop, a female voice greeted them from behind the counter.
"Hello, boys. What is your wish?"
"Umm. Both of us need a tuxedo.For the Christmas Ball," Harry said.
"Alright, let me see." The woman disappeared to the storeroom.
"Now, how about these?"
She had brought two gross tuxedos.
One was all glittery and emerald green, the other glittery and ruby red.
Harry and Ron looked at each other with horror.
"Erm. We would like something more. usual," Ron said with a bit of fear in his voice.
"Oh. Wait a sec." The woman was gone for a second and came back with two black. and glittery tuxedos.
"Do you like these better?"
Hermione giggled and both Ron and Harry thought, 'Eww. Glitter.*Eww*.'
"Miss, I think they mean that they want a usual tuxedo what is black and with no glitter."
Hermione did the job before the boys could even open their mouths.
"Ok, why didn't you say so? I'll be back in a flash."
The woman came back with two perfectly normal tuxedos.
"That's exactly what we wanted. We'll take those." Ron said quickly and paid for his tuxedo. Harry did the same and soon they were out of the shop.
"God, no wonder that dad doesn't like shopping for clothes." Ron mumbled and looked at his tuxedo.
"Aww, this wasn't that bad, was it Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Uhuh. Yeah, right. Let's go get some butterbeer, I'm thirsty."
"That's a bloody good idea, Harry. Come on, 'Mione, let's go to the Three Broomsticks," Ron said and called for Hermione.
~* With Angelique *~
Angelique came out of the cabin for the hundredth time this hour to look at her in the huge mirror on the wall.
She was now wearing a black strapless dress.
It held tight to her upper body and flared out at her waist, showing her beautiful figure.
She liked this dress.
It looked like her royal dress only it was black.
She applied some make-up on her face with a spell did her hair he same way.
'Perfect! I think I'll buy this dress!'
Angelique smiled sweetly at her reflection in the mirror.
"You look great with that dress, Miss. I'd buy it if I were you," The mirror said.
"Thank you," Angelique replied and went back to the cabin to change in her normal clothes.
After buying the dress and going outside, she bumped into someone.
'Malfoy,' She thought and looked up.
Angelique had been right.
It was Malfoy.
"Hey, Kou. Want to go to the Three Broomsticks and have a butterbeer? Please?"
Draco looked pleadingly in Angelique's green eyes.
"Alright, just leave me alone!"
"Great!"
After a few minutes both of them were sitting in the bar, sipping their butterbeers.
"So, Kou, who will you go to the ball with?"
"No-one."
"Why so?"
"Because I probably won't be coming to the ball."
"Right. And what were you doing in the formal muggle clothes shop?"
"Just buying a dress in case I'll die and you'll need to bury me." Angelique lied and Draco saw that.
"For sure. So. Do you like Quidditch?"
"Not much."
"Ok."
Draco tried to start the conversation between him and Angelique for many times. Finally Angelique excused herself and left the bar.
