Summery:
Last seen on Lyric's Serenity; Draco Malfoy and Lyric Conners share a lovely kiss in the middle of the corridor. Where anybody could see them. Too caught up in their moment they regret to realize two red heads watching them from the shadows.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Fred and George Weasley smirked from the shadows and quietly made their way back to the Gryffindor common room where Ron and Harry where celebrating the team's win with the rest, and Hermione was, like always, studying.
"Hey Fred! Wheres those snacks you promised?" Ron called out, "And what are you two so happy about?"
"Let's just say flourishing doors of opportunity have been opened." Fred answered calmly.
"What he means to say is it's none of your business."George said and they ran up to their rooms. Hermione looked up and watched them with curiosity.
"What do you think there up to?" She asked standing and stretching her arms.
"I don't know but I wish that they had brought back some food." Ron said grumpily. Harry was with Hermione. The twins always had something waiting up their sleeves, if it wasn't dungbombs and firecrackers then you should be afraid. Oliver was talking with Katie Bell, and Samantha, while trying to avoid Collin Creevy's picture taking.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Lyric woke up in a good mood. She had Potions again today, and defence against the dark arts. Her Defence against the dark arts teacher had no clue what he was talking about, but if all she had to do for homework was find out his favorite color she wasn't going to complain. Every now or then she would see Draco in the corridor, his lips wouldn't smile, but his eyes did every time he saw her. After potions she headed to lunch, the only time she got to sit in the same room as Draco. At the moment she was lost in her own thoughts. One minute it would be how many dragon scales are needed for the enlarging potion, the next minute she would be thinking of the kiss she and Draco had shared.
"Hello I'm Collin Creevy. Can I take a picture of you please?" She snapped out of her thoughts and stared up at the sandy haired Gryffindor.
"I'm Sorry? You want to take a picture of me?" Lyric asked surprised at his sudden outburst. "Um...I'm Lyric Conners."
"Oh I know who you are! You're the prettiest first year in this school." He stated loudly. Lyric blushed as several grinning faces turned to look at her. Collin lifted his camera and snapped the picture, causing bright colors to swirl across Lyrics vision.
Draco watched the first year boy walk over to Lyric and scowled. Their table was only one away and he could hear the whole conversation. The part that irritated him was that another mudblood-er, muggle born was calling Lyric beautiful. She was beautiful, and that he was being sincere about, he just didn't like hearing other people tell her that when he hadn't even engaged in a serious conversation in which he could tell her. He was absently eating the food that had been put on his plate, watching every move that boy made.
"That girl, pretty?" The girl sitting next to him snorted in laughter. Pansy, a fellow Slytherin who had a crush on Malfoy. Guess you always want what you can't have. "Only a Gryffindor would think so. I mean you wouldn't see any intelligent Slytherin telling her that." Every one at the table laughed. Draco chuckled weakly, so as not to raise suspicion. Then he took another bite of the food. He didn't even remember putting more potatoes on his plate he realized. He watched as Lyric stood up from the table and picked up her things. A lose strand of hair was in her eyes. He looked to the Gryffindor that was watching her leave. His face went cold from anger. Unlike most, who got red, his face seemed to turn to ice. Collin tilted his head to the side, no doubt checking out her butt. Malfoy stood up and Pansy looked at him, brows furrowed.
"Whats with you Draco?" She asked sweetly,her sugar-coated voice laced with concern. He fought to come up with a cover story.
"I'm not feeling well." He could have slapped himself in the head, that must be the oldest excuse yet. But it worked and he left the great hall hurriedly. Two red haired boys jumped in front of him right as soon as he made his way out the door. He just barely caught a glimpse of Lyric climbing the stairs to her next class.
"Move." Draco spat, if he wasn't mad before, he was now.
"I'm not so sure your in the position to tell us what to do Mr. Malfoy. Is he George." Fred started with a grin.
" 'fraid not." George answered sharing a identical grin.
"What are you two getting at?" Malfoy asked looking down the corridor Lyric had long since past. He didn't find a need to worry about the twins. Whatever it was couldn't possibly be any more then a joke.
"About you and your muggle born 'friend', Lyric, I think thats the name." George leaned back against the wall. Malfoy couldn't stop his mouth from dropping.
"Who told you?" He said his blue eyes looking frozen, this just wasn't his day.
"You know when you make out with someone you don't want to be caught with I don't suggest doing it in a open corridor." Fred said smugly.
Malfoy found himself becoming very angry,but,with all of his willpower he calmed himself down."Keep it under your hat's alright,neither of us are ready for that to be announced."
"Well you see,there's a problem with that...we don't ware hats do we George?"Fred asked,a smile on his face.
"No Fred,I don't think we do...but we could buy ourselves a pair of hat's to keep your secret under for ten gold galleons."George stated.
Draco was really angry now,here,these two WEASLEYS of all people were standing in front of him blackmailing him for money. He could have mentally slapped himself. It was all that Lyric's fault anyway,If she wasn't so damn intriguing and beautiful he wouldn't have this problem.
"Fine,fine...but let a word of it slip and I swear..."He began.
"Right,Right,we know you'll make our lives a living hell,we got it."Fred said impatiently and held out his hand.
"deal?"
"deal."
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Lyric's last few classes seemed to drag on and on. Half of the stuff she wouldn't even pay attention to. All through double Defence Against The Dark Arts class with the Gryffindors She,Luna and Ginny would all pass notes that were bewitched so only the three of them could see. They had a good time watching Professor Lockheart trying to see what they were passing,as he used reviling charm that blew up in his face,literally...his blond hair was smoking from it's tips and the ends looked singed so he declared that there was nothing there,obviously,or his 'spell' would have found it so they didn't get in trouble.
She had just come from Binns class and Luna,Ginny and Lyric were walking down the hallway to go to the Library. Draco Malfoy was coming up the hall. He gave Lyric a meaningful look that she just couldn't read. Draco's shoulder hit her's hard as they passed.
"Hey,watch it."He called,his face was twisted but his eyes were trying to tell her something. She felt his hand slip inside her robe pocket for a moment and she could feel something else there.
Lyric waited until the three of them made it to the Library before claiming she needed a book,went into the back of the Library and took out what Draco had put in her pocket.
+Lyric,
Someone knows about us,they confronted me in the hallway,they promised not to say anything if I paid them,which is what I'm going to do. We need to be more careful about were we meet...we were lucky that they agreed to keep their gob's shut.
Draco
Oh and watch out for that Creevy fellow,I didn't like the way he looked at you at lunch+
A couple things went through her mind like,Someone knows...great,THEY? there's more than one,pay them to keep quiet...blackmail? and is it just me or did Draco sound jealous in the last part. She quickly folded the letter and put it back in her robes. She grabbed a random book and took it with her to the table.
Just then Harry,Hermione and Ron came in and sat down at the same table as Lyric,Luna and Ginny were.
"Hi."Ginny called happily,
"Hey"Ron said
"Hello"Hermione greeted
"Right,yeah,Hi."Lyric said,not paying attention for her mind was on the letter.
Harry just nodded and Luna gave no sign that she knew any of them were there,her nose was buried way to far into 'The Quibbler',her wand absently twirling in her fingers.
After they were done in the Library they decided to go back to their common rooms. Lyric had to stay behind to get a book for her essay on 'The History Of Trolls', two-hundred word essay.
Harry made an excuse to double back so he could get a word with her...
Harry stepped in front of Lyric and held out his hand.
"Hi,we have been introduced but not formally."Lyric shook his hand.
"I'm Lyric Connors."
"Harry Potter." they let their hands drop.
"Your a friend of Ginny's, right?"He asked hopefully.
"Yeah...why?"She asked.
"Well I was kinda wondering if she has said anything about me...at all...anything?"He asked. Suddenly it dawned on her...
"You like Ginny." She said quietly,a smile on her face.
"Huh,wha...um...no I don't."He flustered.
"Oh yes you do!"Her smile grew. Harry turned red,
"Ok,so I like her a little."He confessed.
"A little?"She asked,an eyebrow raised.
"Ok,a lot...but you can't tell her...I will, just when it's right ok."He pleaded.
"Sure sure." Out of know were he gave her a light hug,
"Thanks."
"No problem."She said as he let go.
In the shadows two people were watching...no it wasn't Fred and George...It was Ginny and Draco. Neither of them could here a word Harry and Lyric were saying,but when they hugged,Ginny felt a tear run down her face and Draco swore his heart stopped.
Both of them left before they herd Lyric yell,
"Yeah...She talks about you."with a smile.
(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)
Lyric was at the little table in her dormitory writing the essay on trolls. She sighed and sat down her quill and took out her note from Draco to read it again. He hadn't said anything to her since he had given her the note, and when she saw him in the halls his eyes were cold...He wouldn't even look at her. She felt her stomach grumble and decided the kitchen would be the best place to go right now. Since her roommates were asleep she stepped silently until she was in the common room. It was almost empty and no one was watching the entrance. Walking down to the kitchen was creepy. The halls were silent, ghostly silent to be exact, but she figured they would be in a castle with ghost.
"Didn't think you'd have the guts to come back down here Conners." Lyric turned to see Draco leaning against one of the counters, his elbows propped up behind him.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Lyric asked picking up a handful of grapes and popping one in her mouth.
"I seen you today with Scar head."
"Yeah what of it?" She asked eating another grape. His eyes widened and he stepped away from the counter, walking towards her.
"I'm not completely stupid you know." He said angrily. His voice was cold and hard. Lyric looked at him and put the grape she was about to eat back in the palm of her hand.
"This-This is because he hugged me isn't it?" She started laughing out loud.
"What exactly do you think is funny about that?" He asked, he was now less then a foot away from her.
"He.." She paused to laugh again. "He was hugging me because I said I..." She held her stomach tightly as a tear slid down her cheek. "I said I wouldn't tell Ginny he liked her!" At this she kneeled on the floor from laughter. Draco stared at her on the floor and couldn't help but smirk. "You-you were jealous weren't you?"
"I don't know what your talking about. I don't get jealous of filthy mudboods." She stopped laughing and looked up at him. He gave her a look of disgust and walked past her and out of the picture frame. She stood up and looked after him, his black robes disappeared as he turned left through a corridor. She turned around and saw several house elfs watching her. She dropped the grapes she had been holding in her hand and walked out of the kitchen and back to her room.
