" Draco please. That is so not the right answer." Anna rolled her eyes at Draco's homework.
" What do you know?" He mumbled angrily. His beautiful fall Saturday was being spent in a stuffy library on homework. Anna flicked his ear.
" If you don't pay attention you aren't going to know anything either. Now we have an exam in McGonagall's class coming up so pay attention."
" I did perfectly fine without you before."
" And you are going to do even better now." Pansy choose that moment to walk in.
" Hello Draco. How are you?" She said it in that lovey-dovey voice that just made Anna want to throw up.
" Fine. Come to study for our Transfiguration exam?" He questioned, not lifting his eyes from the textbook.
" I came to ask you if you wanted to go sit outside. We could find... something... to do." She tried looking down at Draco through her eyelashes, which needless to say didn't work well.
" I'm studying thanks." Draco turned the page and continued reading. Pansy's face distorted into anger at Draco's dismissal. Reaching up she grabbed a fistful of Anna's hair and pulled, hard.
Anna's jaw clamped shut automatically when her head was yanked viciously back. A small sound of pain escaped her lips but it was enough to alert Draco to what Pansy was doing.
" Let her go." Draco was standing, facing Pansy, ready to pull his wand if he needed to.
" Why should I? She's just a pathetic little servant. She has no right to be here, little mudblood." Pansy sneered.
" No Pansy. She's purer than you are."
Pansy paled and tried another line of attack. " Muggle-lover then. It taints her pure blood. She doesn't deserve you." Pansy was desperate.
" You don't deserve me. Now let go of Anna's hair." Pansy's grip tightened and her knuckles were turning white.
" No. She needs to learn her place. The nerve of her, getting sorted into Gryffindor." Her arm jerked down involuntarily, taking Anna's head with it. Anna winced in pain.
" That was the sorting hat's decision, as wrong as it was, Anna had no connection with that." His wand was now resting in his hand and Pansy's eyes widened in fear. She knew for a fact how good Draco was with his wand.
" I'm telling your father." Pansy cried, tears bursting from her eyes, as she dropped her hand and ran out of the empty library. Draco dropped to his knees beside Anna.
" You okay?"
" Yes. You should have gone with her. Done something to stop her from calling your father."
" And what would I have done?"
" Oh I don't know, kissed her? Promised to sleep with her, commissioned me to be her personal foot stool, something!"
" Not a chance on any of those." Anna sighed and closed her eyes.
" I know. And now I have to face a beating. Your father is worse than Pansy in every way."
" Sorry." Draco said, in retrospect, it probably would have been better to have gone after Pansy. " Maybe I can still catch her." Draco stood up and walked out the doors.
" Hurry." Anna called, not loud enough for anyone but herself to hear.
