Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter people. I only own Draco in my dreams. *Drool*
Draco was walking around the school, trying to clear his mind, when he heard a muffled sound coming from a classroom. He thought this was weird but was going to forget it, that is until he heard a distinct female voice.
He quickly walked to the door, paused for a second and then opened it. There he saw Justin Finch-Fletchley on top of a girl, both barely dressed at all. Draco just stood there watching, then he saw the girl's face and his suspicions were confirmed.
Justin was screwing his girlfriend, Pansy Parkinson. Draco didn't know whether to be angry for the betrayal or relieved that he could be rid of her. Because of his confusion, he settled for beating the shit out of the Hufflepuff.
"What the hell is going on here!"
Draco walked over and pulled Justin off, punching him in the face and then kicking him when he hit the floor. He kept kicking him for a full minute, switching between his stomach, chest and face.
When he was done, and Justin was very bloodied, he did a quick spell to clean up the blood and heal Justin enough so he wouldn't have to go to Pomfrey. Just because he beat the shit out of him, didn't mean he was going to get in trouble for it.
Pansy's not worth it.
Draco then looked at Pansy, who all this time just sat there watching as if it were a sport. She smiled at him and walked over, presumably to congratulate the winner, but he pushed her away.
"You disgust me. You're no better than a filthy mudblood. Stay the hell away from me, you filthy whore."
For this, Draco got a slap and a huff of anger from Pansy before she stormed away. Draco then looked at the ground and saw the rest of her clothes and raised an eyebrow. She seemed to also remember them at this time and walked back in the room, nose in the air, and collected her clothes and left.
If he wasn't in such a confused mood, he would have found this quite funny. As it was, he just sat down on a desk and put his face in his hands. He felt like crying but would not and could not. Malfoys did not, under any circumstance, cry.
If you cried, you were weak. If you were weak, you were disowned. If you were disowned, you were worth no more than a muggle. And since Malfoys were not lowly, in their standards anyway, you would be tortured and then killed.
Lucius had told him when he was still a child, that it helped to preserve the strength in the bloodline. That if Draco ever became a weakling, Lucius would take joy in killing a weak link in the bloodline. Lucius would do anything to preserve the purity and strength in the blood.
Draco saw Justin stirring, so he decided to leave. He walked out of the room and decided to go walk by the lake. It tended to be peaceful outside, especially in the cold and at night, when everyone was inside.
He walked back to the dungeons and got his cloak, making sure to avoid Pansy, and headed toward the front doors. He didn't encounter anyone along the way, except a few Hufflepuffs, which he currently disliked, and a teacher.
He smiled as he got outside, the cool air stung his face, the numbing feeling was just what he needed at the moment. He wrapped his scarf tightly around his neck and hugged his cloak to himself, walking towards the lake.
______________________
As Draco neared the lake, a figure appeared on the ice. The person was skating all around, nothing fancy, just gliding. He hid behind a tree as a feminine voice reached his ears. She was singing a song he didn't know, and he knew most wizarding songs.
He tried to focus on her words and as soon as he did he tensed. He knew the voice very well and it still pained him to hear it. Whether it hurt him or not, he couldn't make himself leave, so he stayed behind the tree, watching and listening to the figure.
"'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not al...."
Draco watched as she stumbled to a stop as she fell unto the ice. He contemplated going to help her, but then he heard it. She was sobbing uncontrollably, her shoulders shaking.
He couldn't help himself, he ran over to her as fast as he could. But as soon as he hit the ice, he flew backwards onto his back. He groaned and then sat up.
Kalena was staring at him, fear and sadness filling her eyes, even more so, then they already were. They just stared at each other for what seemed like forever, then Kalena got up and skated away.
Draco got up and tried to run after her but, yet again, he fell flat on his back. He looked around for her and yelled out in frustration when she was no where in sight. He stood up and slowly made his way back to the grounds.
______________________
Draco went walking around the school again. He then heard a soft, sad voice singing. He looked at where he was and frowned. He had never been around here before, but he was told that this was where Gryffindor Tower was.
He walked some more and the singing got louder and he was able to understand the same song from earlier.
"'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?"
The singing stopped and he came to a portrait of a fat lady in a pink dress. He raised an eyebrow and the portrait look at him.
"Is this the entrance to Gryffindor Tower?" He asked in an innocently curious voice. The Fat Lady looked him up and down and frowned.
"More Slytherins! Those Gryffindors these days." The Fat lady shook her head.
"More Slytherins? What do you mean by that?"
"There's that one young lady who has been befriended by the Gryffindors. She comes here constantly and now she's actually living here during the break. Its an outrage!"
So that's why I haven't seen Kalena around in the common room. She must really want to avoid me as much as possible. Draco was snapped out of his thoughts by the painting's ranting.
"In my day, the Slytherins barely ever came up from the dungeons and they never consorted with Gryffindors. Kids these days! Do they never follow the rules?"
"Can you let me in to see my friend?" The Fat Lady immediately stopped ranting and stared at him.
"Let ANOTHER Slytherin into Gryffindor Tower? Are you ridiculous?" Draco then heard a girl's voice pleading on the other side of the portrait.
"And she doesn't want you to come in. So the answer is, ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
Draco slammed his fist into the wall and then regretted it. He could feel that he had broken several bones.
"DAMNIT! SON OF A BITCH! BLOODY HELL!"
After some more ranting, he decided he should head to the hospital wing, his hand was turning several colors. He gave the painting an evil glare and then trudged away, down the corridor. Draco wasn't aware that on the other side of the painting, Kalena was sobbing uncontrollably, yet again.
______________________
Kalena kept crying, on and off, the rest of the night. She skipped dinner, much to the concern of Draco and the teachers. Professor McGonagall, checked on her later, bringing her some food, which was refused.
Draco waited outside the portrait and after he was going to give up, the painting swung open and McGonagall stepped out. She turned around and gave Kalena instructions to make it to Christmas breakfast the next morning.
Kalena was shielded by the painting and she must've only nodded, since he didn't hear her voice. The only sign that she was okay, was that McGonagall was leaving her. He kicked the wall and walked back to the dungeons, before he could be discovered.
______________________
Draco was walking to breakfast the next morning, he was in a very bad mood. When he went back to Slytherin Dungeon, he found Pansy already at it with another guy. When he hexed them both, she had the nerve to hex him in his sleep.
He woke up with little bat wings all over his face, again. He hated when in happened the year before and now it had happened again. Draco was really getting sick of bats and that didn't help his relationship with Snape, who looked like an overgrown bat himself.
He had cleared up the bat wings and was furious, not to find Pansy anywhere in the dungeons. He wanted to hex her until she couldn't walk, but that would have to wait til he saw her again. This was going to be a wonderful Christmas, he could tell.
He was almost to the Great Hall, when he heard soft crying coming from a corridor. He decided to check it out, hoping it was Pansy who was hurt by one of her boytoys.
What he didn't expect to see was Kalena, sitting in an old, crying her eyes out next to a window. She looked beaten up and her robes were torn.
His anger and curiosity got the better of him and he walked into the classroom and slowly up to her. She didn't notice him until he placed a hand on her shoulder, and when he did she jumped in fright and tried to wrap her robes tighter around herself.
Draco knew what happened to her and he felt more angry than he ever had before. He tried to control his urge to wrap his arms around her and tell her everything was going to be alright.
He knew it wouldn't and that she may be scarred for life. He took a deep breath and vocalized the question which had been running through his mind.
"Who?"
He said it so calmly that he had surprised himself, for he was physically shaking with rage. She didn't say a thing, only whimpered some. Draco couldn't stop himself anymore, he let loose his anger on the wrong person.
"WHO THE FUCK DID THIS TO YOU? ANSWER ME DAMNIT!"
He was now shaking her by her shoulders, her head lolling from side to side like a rag doll. As soon as he noticed this, he let her go quickly and backed away. He just stood there staring at her.
Even when she got up and sprinted out of the room, he just stared at her. Then after realizing that she had left and what he had done, he ran after her. He yelled out her name but she was no where in sight.
Draco thought about where she might've gone and automatically, Gryffindor Tower popped into his mind. He then began sprinting towards it. After a few corridors and a couple of stairways, he began to hear voices. Two of them, arguing over something.
He ran faster hoping that it was Kalena and that she was okay. But as he got closer, he slowed down. The voices were beginning to clear and he could tell it was Kalena....and Pansy.
He finally came to a stop behind a suit or armor, and decided to listen in before interrupting.
______________________
"Get the bloody hell off me, you wench!"
Pansy was trying to screech, but Kalena had her pinned to the wall by her throat. After the comment made by Pansy, Kalena punched the other girl in the face with her free hand. She then dropped her on the floor, backing up a few steps but keeping her wand on Pansy.
"I'm not doing it anymore. I don't really care anymore about anything. So you can't make me do anything your twisted mind wants."
Pansy stood up and wiped the blood from her lip, then glared at Kalena. She then reached for her wand but it wasn't there.
She looked up at Kalena who was twirling it inbetween her fingers. Pansy let out a very unlady like growl and seemed like she would pounce on Kalena, given the chance.
"You're going to pay for this, you stupid mudblood." Kalena flinched at the name and then narrowed her eyes.
"Don't you ever insult my heritage again! Blood obviously doesn't matter, since I'm a better witch than you."
"That's funny, because Draco obviously liked me better. He did come back to me, now didn't he?" Kalena's eyes filled with renewed tears but she wouldn't let them drop.
"Then he obviously has no taste. First a mudblood and then you!" Pansy smirked and leaned against the wall.
"You really should have never gotten into Slytherin. You can't have feelings when you're in our world. That's always been your problem, showing your feelings. That is how all this started, isn't it? You didn't want my Drakie knowing you were a lowly mudblood. So you complied with breaking up with him and doing these little...favors for Hogwarts' male student body. I bet you liked it thought didn't you? You liked feeling filthy because that's exactly what you are!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT ME. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU STUPID BITCH!"
Tears wear now rolling down Kalena's face and she was fighting not to kill Pansy. Before anything else could go on, they were interrupted by someone walking towards them. They both looked towards the incoming Justin Finch-Fletchley.
"I didn't interrupt anything did I?" He strolled over to Pansy and kissed her a few times before turning towards Kalena.
"And you. What do you think you're doing? Well?"
"I'm not doing anything for either of you anymore. You can't make me!" Justin laughed and then grinned.
"Oh yes you are doing this and we can make you. Misters Crabbe and Goyle are awaiting you. I heard that they got a little rough with you last night, so you need to clean yourself up so that you look pretty for them. Understood?" He then began walking towards her and Kalena backed away until she was flat against the wall.
"Now give me her wand and let's go. Now!"
"I don't think so." A cold voice drawled.
They all turned to see the cold face of Draco Malfoy, who had stepped out from his hiding place. Pansy yelped and Justin almost wet himself as he jumped back in shock. When Draco looked at Kalena, she looked away in shame and sorrow.
"How..how long have you been there, Drakie?" Pansy tried to be sweet but failed miserably.
"I've been here long enough to know what's been going on around here and a few...other facts about a certain ex-girlfriend."
Draco turned to look at Kalena but before he could turn his head completely, he was punched hard in the jaw, making him stumble and almost fall. He looked up to see a furious witch with tears streaming down her face, which was cause to be scared.
He stood up and rubbed his jaw, which felt like she had broken. Pansy and Justin backed away some, but still in view of what was going on.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"
"For everything!" She was very red in the face and looked on the verge of murder. "For you liking me. For you hurting me. For your families stupid concepts. For you being constantly on my mind. For all the pain and humiliation and violation, that I have been going through to make sure you didn't know the truth about me, all because I didn't want you to think low of me. And finally for making me love you and not being able to stop. I want to hate you and move on but I can't and this is all your fault." Rivers of tears flowing freely down her face, went to punch him again but he caught her hand.
"How can you say it all my fault? None of this would have happened, if you had never even come here! So don't you dare try blaming me, you filthy little mudblood bitch!"
And that did it. Kalena stopped fighting, stopped being mad, and even stopped standing. She fell to the ground and was silent as she cried, staring at the floor, not really seeing it.
Draco stood there and realized what he said and a tear rolled down his cheek unknowingly.
How could I possibly ever stand to look at myself in the mirror again. To be able to even look at her. He shook his head.
No I shouldn't be allowed to look at her beauty again. His thoughts were interrupted by clapping. He looked up to see Pansy clapping, congratulating him again.
Doesn't she realize by now that she shouldn't congratulate me.
"Bravo! You put that stupid, filthy, ugly mudbl.."
Pansy was tackled by Kalena and was getting punched repeatedly in the face. Draco was going to let her continue but didn't want Kalena in trouble for murder. He pulled her off and wrapped his arms around her. He noticed how warm she felt in his arms, he smiled and hugged her tighter.
She looked up at him, tears still streaming down her face, and a smile formed on her lips. He saw the question in her eyes and smiled back.
"Yes. I still love you. Just because you're a mud...muggleborn, doesn't mean I love you any less."
He leaned down and kissed her. They both looked over at the body of Pansy, she was unconscious and bleeding. Draco looked to Justin, who was still in hiding.
"You better clean her up or people are going to ask questions. And I'd suggest, she doesn't come back to the dungeons for a while."
Draco and Kalena left Justin to deal with Pansy and headed off down the corridor. Kalena was in his arms the whole way up to Gryffindor Tower. When they approached the Fat Lady she looked at them crossly but couldn't refuse the password, which Kalena had.
Kalena went to go change and Draco sat in front of the fire, feeling better than he had in weeks. He then felt something wet on his face and reached up to see what it was. As he looked at his hand, he went rigid.
He was crying. He, a Malfoy, was crying. Draco thought that it was impossible, but so was loving a mudblood. He gave a soft laugh and looked at the fire. He was going to be killed....by his own father.
______________________
"So you two are back together? That's great!"
Kalena and Hermione were sitting in the library, which was now their place, and were doing homework. Kalena had been much happier since her and Draco got back together. She began eating more and getting more sleep, even though, unbeknownst to everyone, Draco and her shared the same room for the rest of the holidays. Not that they did anything....too bad.
"I'm so happy. I still can't believe he took me back after he found out about all that stuff."
"I still can't fathom why you put up with Pansy making you do that! She's just a wretched prat."
"More like a dog faced whore who never closes her legs or mouth."
Both girls turned to see a certain blonde haired Slytherin standing behind them. Kalena smiled widely and stood up to greet him. They kissed a few times but then remembered Hermione was there and quit. Draco nodded to Hermione before turning back to Kalena.
"I was thinking maybe we could for a walk tonight, to uh..." He glanced over at Hermione and then smiled innocently. "to talk about muggle stuff. You can tell me about your world." Kalena tried to hold in a laugh and then nodded.
"This is my world, since you're in it."
They all then heard loud coughing and gagging sounds and turned to see a pair of disgusted Gryffindors. Ron and Harry. Kalena and Draco rolled their eyes and Hermione slapped the back of two boys' heads.
"You ruined a perfectly good moment, you gits!"
"You mean a perfectly disgusting moment!" Harry said as Ron pretended to gag again.
"No wonder, Ginny's always complaining about no romance in her relationship. How could she have romance with you? I have to go through the same kind of relationship as her! NO ROMANCE, WHATSOEVER! That is a couple with romance." Hermione pointed behind her and they all looked as all there was, was a bookshelf.
"Where'd they go?"
______________________
Pansy glared at the trio standing there idiotically. She had seen the couple slip out, just as Hermione began her rant. Rolling her eyes, she looked back down at the letter she had just written and smiled evilly.
Dear Mr. Malfoy,
I would just like to inform you of the recent events around the school, involving your son. He was going out with a Kalena Thomas, who, I might add, wasn't right for him. She was a Slytherin whom befriended Gryffindors. Her best friends being that of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and the mudblood, Hermione Granger.
I was unsure of what to do, to solve the problem. That is until one day, I overheard her talking to her mudblood friend, Granger. I heard that she herself was a mudblood and was keeping it from Draco.
This of course sickened me, so I put a stop to it. I threatened her to stay away from him and I blackmailed her into a very humiliating life. Then I, Pansy Parkinson, pureblood and Slytherin, became his girlfriend, and was very honorable towards him.
Anyway, it was all going well until he found her assaulting me in the halls, during the holidays. She somehow tricked him into taking her side, causing him to dump me and get back with the filthy mudblood.
As I feel that I cannot do anything further, I thought that telling you and letting you deal with it was best. I do hope that the situation will be resolved and I possibly will be in your thoughts, as you pick a suitable bride for him.
Pansy Parkinson
A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short you guys. I promise to get the next chapter out sooner. Please review! I will have a chapter out next week, but you have to keep in mind that I'm currently writing four stories at once. I'm also thinking of starting another, but I think I will wait til I finish one.
