Draco's head snapped up from the book he was reading, and he looked wildly around the school library to see which of the ghosts had played such a wicked joke on him. The hairs at the base of his neck were still standing on end, and.. Blinking to refocus his eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw ahead of him, and sat there mouth agape for a moment.
"Fuck, Cassandra, what the hell happened to you!" His chair clattered to the floor, he rose so quickly that the books went flying also. It looked like Cassandra and Professor Snape too, except.. Had they splinched? He'd never seen it before, though Draco had heard some nasty stories about what happened to a person.. Looking as if they had tried to disapparate, and yet they were shimmering, partly appearing and disappearing by the moment. The electricity which had run through Draco's body moments earlier suddenly made sense.she was in danger, he had to find her now!! There was only one person who would know their whereabouts, and Draco knew exactly where to find him.
Flying through the library receiving very nasty looks from all those within, Draco flung the door open and went pelting up the stairs to Dumbledore's office. He would know where they went, and then Draco could.. Could what? What exactly could he do if she was in danger? That would be something he would deal with a t the time.
"Candy, Candy" he muttered to himself
"Bertie Botts!"
"Jelly slugs"
"Fizzing Whiz bees!"
"Fuck!"
"Liquorice babies!"
"Fuck!"
"Goddamned Gargoyle, let me in before I kick the crap out of you!"
The gargoyle did nothing better than uncurl a knar led middle finger at Malfoy for a briefest moment, staying as still and stoic as always. Clenching his fists, Malfoy continued trying to guess the right sweet.
"Acid Pops!"
The gargoyle suddenly slid off to the side, shooting the young Malfoy a very malicious look. Draco didn't care, he was so focused on getting up the revolving staircase and finding out where she (they) were.
Chin to chest and eyes to ground, the impact sent both himself and the Headmaster flying in opposite directions.
"Good Merlin!! I am so sorry Headmaster Dumbledore."
The old man rearranged his glasses on his nose, reset his robes and began to stand up.
"To what do I owe this, erhm, unexpected visit, Mr. Malfoy?"
"something has happened to Cassandra.. Miss Caliga. I know that something has happened and she's in grave danger, headmaster I just know it. I must know where they went, and go help her."
"I am aware of the situation, young Master Malfoy, however it is something which you will be unable to offer any help to the matters at hand. Before you crashed into me, I was on my way to go and assist your Housemate and Head of House. I suggest you go back to your common room and relax, I will let you know how things are when I return." Dumbledore nodded at him and attempted to pass by, effectively dismissing Draco as if he had slammed a door in his face. Stunned and speechless, the young Slytherin stood there, head reeling, so certain he had been that Dumbledore would offer some assistance to him. As he watched the receding purple-clad figure about to disappear down the stairs, he called out frantically
"But, Headmaster, She came to me.. In the library, I saw them both.. And I could feel her trying to make me feel what she was feeling."
The old wizard turned slowly, a new light in his face. "She sent an apparition to you, Draco?"
Ice cold Steel eyes met deep azure blue. Draco held the Ancient wizard's gaze as he nodded.
"Well, then. That does change everything, doesn't it?"
