Star Crossed
Chapter six
Even though I was....well, a little appauled by Draco's behavior in the fifth book, and I cried over George's busted lip, I am going to continue this story, and I'm keeping him how he is. This IS a fanfic, after all. So.....here we go.
Draco rolled over in bed and looked at Cassandra. She was still asleep, and had a little trace of a smile. Draco smiled a little and then a lot, and then he got up. As Draco crossed his bedroom towards his door he saw a house elf scuttering across the hall way. "Bloody slave. Can't keep his big nose out of my business." He muttered at he walked down the hall to the stairs. He stopped behind the little thing and tapped its bum (Yes, BUM!) with his foot. As Urt (What the hell?) turned he glared at it.
"Have you been spying on me?" He asked in his drawl and the house elf started to cry. Urt started slamming himself into the walls and bashing his head into doors. "How long were you there?" Draco demanded, giving it a kick, but only a slight kick. If it went and passed out, he would have to wait for his answers.
Urt started sobbing and choked out "Only a minute, master." And slammed himself into another wall. Draco sneered and kicked him into the direction of the kitchen. "I'm hungry." He said simply before stalking off to the living room. Urt went running into the kitchen like a house elf on a mission.
Draco stopped in the living room and saw his father. "You are up rather early, Draco." Lucius said. "Yes, well..." Draco muttered, starting to feel his bad ass attitude drain away. Lucius smiled at his son, but said nothing. Draco turned to go back to his room when he felt his fathers fingers on his bare back. Draco stopped dead and turned to look at his father. His father smiled again.
"Those are some interesting marks on your back. They look like...fingernails." He said, running his fingers across the scratches on Draco's back. Draco pailed slightly and looked towards his room up the stairs. "She's still asleep, isn't she?" Lucius asked, his eyes wandering up the stairs. Draco shrugged. "Oh, come now, Draco. You act as if I don't understand. What do you think I'm going to do, get mad?" Draco looked back at his father. "I'm not scared of that. What I'm scared of is that you'll tell my mum." He said simply, and Lucius started to laugh.
"Now, why would I get your mother involved? My father never told my mother, and I won't tell yours." Lucius said, still looking up the stairs, his smile grew as Sylla came down them. She paled slightly as her eyes darted from the marks on Draco's back to Lucius. Draco smiled a little uneasily. She walked over to Draco and put her hand on his back. "Sorry." She whispered and he shrugged it off. Lucius smiled and walked off to his library as Urt came running in holding a tray of food. Sylla turned and headed up the steps. "Bring the food up to my room." Draco ordered.
Later that night Cassandra was sitting on Draco's bed,laughing as she threw chocolate frog cards at anything that moved, Draco was one of the only things moving. "Stop throwing those at me!" He complained. Cassandra laughed harder and threw another one. She hopped off the bed and walked over to the window. "Do you want to play a game?" She asked, giving him a smile. "What kind of game?" He asked, looking out the window next to Sylla. "Well, first we have to sneak out to the muggle world." She explained, Draco stared at her as if she had turned into a centuar. "And then we find a mud blood from our school..."
"Don't you think your 'father' would kill me if he found out I let you into the muggle world?" Draco cut in. "And then stalked mud bloods? I don't want to die this early in my life, especialy not by an angry Lord who doesn't want me with his daughter..." Cassandra pushed him slightly and put her finger to Draco's mouth. "Now, my father doesn't care about me stalking the mud bloods. My sister and I used to play the game all the time. And..." Cassandra took her hand away from his mouth and smiled sweetly. "Who ever said that Daddy doesn't want you to be with me? He's as thrilled as your father is." Draco looked out the window again.
"We're leaving." Draco called as he walked down the stairs. Lucius came out of the study. "Where are you going?" He asked. Draco smiled. "Why, we are going to stalk some mud bloods." Draco said in an angelic voice before heading out the door.
"So, now that we are surrounded by muggles, who is the mud blood we will stalk?" Draco asked, rubbing his arms in the cold night. Cassandra smiled and pointed down the road at Hermione walking down the sidewalk. Draco smiled. "Oh, this will be good." He said. Cassandra smiled. "Yes, considering that she is already paranoid. I've been stalking her since our first year." She added as she walked faster to catch up with Hermione.
Hermione heared a snicker come from behind, but saw no one. She thought about the stalker again. It made her feel uneasy as she continued walking past shops. She shook her head and tried to think of other things. Then a minute later she heared another snicker and a muttered "Mud blood." and she turned around. "I know you're there!" She called. "And you're probably a Slytherin!" Hermione added. She listened for any movement, but heard none. She started walking home again and tried to think of anything other then a death eater stalking her.
After a minute she just whirled around and Cassandra barely had time to dive into the alley next to her with Draco. As they stood up they heard Hermione call from around the corner. "I know it's you, Malfoy! I saw the blonde hair!" And a second later she came around the bend. "Why are you stalking me?" She pleaded. Sylla (As she was now that others were around.) Smirked. "Extra credit. In our Muggle Studies class, we get extra credit for doing a report on Muggles in their natural habitat." She said in a mock tone. Hermione sneered. "Slytherins don't take Muggle Studies." She said.
Draco gave an over dramatic bow. "We are in the midsts of a genius!" He said and walked off, laughing. Sylla turned to follow and called to Hermione over her shoulder. "Don't worry, I won't stalk you anymore. It gets boring once I've been found out!"
Draco and Cassandra walked back into the mansion numb from the cold but laughing. Lucius sat waiting for them in the living room. "Draco, Sylla. There you two are! I have news. The Dark Lord has requested you come to the next gathering." Draco looked over at Sylla, but neither said anything until they were in his room.
"Your...your sister...and the Dark Lord want to meet me?" Draco sputtered. "Well, of course. They want to meet the man who stripped their innocent girl of her virginity, to see if they deem you worthy of me." She said. Draco paled and she laughed. "Don't worry, you are a Malfoy. That means they love you already!" She laughed and kissed his cheek. Draco smirked and looked out the window for a minute. Next thing he knew, he was lying in bed with Cassandra asleep next to him. Life was looking good.
A/N: So......what do you think? It's still hard for me to believe that darling little Draco *Cough*yeahright!*Cough* could turn into an asshole! I mean, not just a jerk, but a real asshole! It's just...too horrible to imagine! And George's LIP!!!!!! *Runs off crying*
