"Serpensortia!"
A flash of light issued from Malfoy's wand, and a jet-black snake exploded on to the floor. Hissing violently, it headed straight at Felicity.
"Anything original?" Felicity drawled. The snake disappeared in a puff of smoke. Felicity muttered something incoherent, and suddenly Draco lost his vision.
Malfoy wasn't undermined that easily though. Facing the way he was standing before, he shot another curse at Felicity, blindly. "Rictesempra!"
The crowd was shocked as Felicity let the curse fly towards her. She had been hit by one of the Slytherins in the crowd by the same blinding spell that she had used on Malfoy.
"Confundo!" Felicity cried, oblivious to the spell that soared towards her. "Rictesempra!"
Both of Felicity's curses had headed towards Draco, dead on. Unfortunately, so was Malfoy's. His curse hit Felicity full on in the chest, and she soared backwards, hitting her head, square on her shields that she produced, knocking her senseless.
The same had happened to Draco, and the crowd was left with two unconscious bodies, lying opposite ends of the room.
~+~
Professor Sinistra swept down the corridor, lost in the stars. Suddenly she screeched to a halt and backtracked to the Trophy Room. There was a huge crowd massed in the tiny room.
Pushing her way past the students, she found the two students lying opposite ends to each other, unconscious.
Binding both students, she sent them to the hospital wing.
The crowd watched in horror, as the Professor levitated the students out. Hermione smiled viciously and swept out, heading to her new common room.
*~+~*
Felicity groaned and lifted her sore head. Immediately her vision swam before her eyes, and she fell back down onto the pillow.
Staring around her, she realized that she was in the hospital wing. Felicity looked from side to side and found herself next to Malfoy.
Madam Pomfrey bustled in and forced a potion down her throat, and instantaneously, Felicity's vision cleared and her headache lessened.
"Um. . . what happened?" asked Felicity, still slightly confused.
"Well, I suppose you hit your head on those rather strong shields you put up around the trophies, didn't you?" Madam Pomfrey said as she fussed over Felicity's bruises. After rubbing in some ointment, she left.
Realization dawned on Felicity as she remembered the duel between her and Malfoy. Creeping out of her bed she left the hospital wing. She didn't want to be around that idiot for too long!
*~+~*
Felicity read the notice board, her heart sinking. The following weekend was to be a Hogsmeade trip, and she had no way of going, since her parents had died before signing any of her permission slips.
Resigning to the worst weekend ever, Felicity sank back into an armchair near the fire and began to read.
Several minutes passed, and just when Felicity was getting comfortable, Draco walked in, his cronies flanking either side.
Looking up, Felicity saw the prominent sneer in place and the evil glint in Malfoy's eye.
"So, mudblood. I hear that you can't go to Hogsmeade because your parents died before signing your permission slips. Too bad you can't go. I heard that the Weird Sisters were doing an open-air performance." Draco sneered.
"They're not. I asked a teacher if there was anything that we were going to miss and she said no." Parvati had walked in behind Malfoy, and had heard the conversation.
"Your cronies shouldn't be in here. Only Chris is allowed in here and you know it." Felicity dismissed Malfoy's friends with a wave of her hand, and they all shuffled out.
Draco narrowed his eyes and stalked out of the room.
When Malfoy had left, Felicity turned to Parvati.
"We? Why did you say we? No one else is going to be staying behind, and you aren't going to be staying either. . . are you?" Felicity asked, fiddling with the book in her hands.
"Of course I'm staying behind. Friends don't leave other friends behind!" Parvati said indignantly.
"Of course. I thought you might like it if you went to Hogsmeade." Felicity said, shrugging.
"Yeah well, I would've gone if I didn't know you weren't coming, but that is beside the point." Parvati's muffled voice came from her sleeping quarters, as she changed into pajamas.
"Alright then. Well, goodnight Parvati!" Felicity called.
"Sleep tight!"
"Don't let the bed bugs bite!" Felicity grinned. It was great having friends.
*~+~*
Parvati and Felicity had insisted that Lavender go on her date with Seamus, and now she was feeling guilty as she watched them wave at the gates.
"Do you reckon she'll be feeling guilty for going without us?" Parvati whispered, trying to be inconspicuous.
"Probably. Come on. We've got work to do. Our first Animagus lesson is on Monday, and if we don't study, we'll be dead meat!" Felicity dragged Parvati away from the gates and headed towards the castle.
~+~
Draco watched through narrowed eyes as Felicity waved to Lavender and said goodbye to Harry and his friends.
Grinning maliciously, he saw the look on Harry's face as Felicity waved to him. Time to devise a plan for his little 'friend!'
*~+~*
Felicity groaned.
"I can't find anything. Let's just go back to the tower and play exploding snap or something." Felicity said, looking for Parvati.
"I haven't heard anything better than that since we got here." Parvati said as she emerged from behind a toppling pile of books.
Felicity dragged Parvati out of the library and headed down the corridor. Soon they were at 'Animagi tower,' as Felicity called it, and upon entering their dorm, Felicity was struck by a great idea.
Whispering quickly to Parvati, in no time the two had identical evil grins on their pretty faces.
*~+~*
Draco smashed the door open and collapsed onto the couch, absolutely swimming in joke items, lollies and other miscellaneous items.
Felicity looked at him disdainfully and went back to her tower of cards, which was coming to a height of 4"10 and still going.
Malfoy sneered at her and deliberately knocked her tower over, hoping to invoke her anger. Felicity however, remained calm.
"Oh, Draco. Did you trip? It was a good thing you knocked the tower when you did, because look at the cards. They are exploding everywhere. If wasn't for you I'd probably be black all over. Thank you very much." Felicity said, a smug expression on her face.
Draco merely sneered all the more and fell on his bed. Watching him, Felicity grinned as Chris followed his example and fell onto his own bed.
Almost immediately, the blankets and the pillows started to attack their owners. After a struggle of ten minutes, Draco finally emerged, livid. Feathers were going everywhere, and Felicity thought that it was all rather amusing.
"Right. Now that is absolutely it. You have gone one step too far." Malfoy whipped out his wand and brandished it at Felicity and Parvati dangerously.
"Leave Parvati out of it. It was my idea. Go Parvati. I'll be fine. Chris, you can leave too." Felicity said in a commanding voice. The pair shuffled out of the dorm, throwing each other dirty looks.
Draco narrowed his eyes and began an incantation. Felicity responded remarkably quickly, and set up a defensive bubble to enclose on her and Draco, then created a shield between herself and Draco.
Malfoy noticed this sudden change and stopped his incantation halfway through. Glaring at Felicity, he realized that if he finished his incantation he could blow himself up.
"I refuse to fight you Draco. I'm sure you don't mind, since it was your idea to start the duel. Now, thank you very much, it was very entertaining while it lasted. Goodbye." Felicity then stalked out of the room, leaving a very angry, and very disgruntled Malfoy.
*~+~*
The Gryffindors gasped as they listened to Felicity give them a blow-by- blow account of what happened in the tower.
Harry was particularly nervous, seeing what happened last time she dueled with Draco. Ron was on the edge of his seat, listening avidly to the story, as was everyone else. In fact, the only person who wasn't riveted was Hermione, who was studying.
". . . and then I walked off and he was really angry. I could hear him smashing stuff when I was outside." Felicity admitted.
Parvati was absolutely rapt. She would've never imagined that a girl so cool and popular would befriend her. Just as she was about to say something, Felicity stood up.
"Well, it's Sunday and I really need to do some work. Didn't get anything work done yesterday, although I could say upsetting Malfoy could be called work." Felicity grinned. "Well, I'm off to the library so see you round!"
She then stalked off, her shiny Head Girl badge reflecting light onto Hermione's bushy hair that was immersed in a book.
When Felicity had gone, Hermione put the book down, scowling.
"Honestly! 'He could've killed himself if he finished the incantation!' Who really cares?" Hermione said in her best bossy voice.
"Hermione, um we need to get some stuff from the library as well, so yeah." Harry said, tugging Ron's robes, trying to get him to follow.
Getting the idea, Ron added, "Yeah! I mean that stuff for Snape's potion essay is really hard so we'll need to go to the library."
Harry then scrambled out of the portrait hole, Ron closely behind, with a scandalized look on his face.
"And what are we exactly doing?" he hissed quietly.
"I'm going to ask her. Now. In the library." Harry whispered.
Ron rolled his eyes. "Great. The library." Ron sighed in resignation. "Ok. To the library."
*~+~*
A/N: Hah! Now you'll have to find out what Harry does! =D Not really a riveting thing but. . . Anyway, in case any of you are confused, it's first week of October, and it's Sunday. Like right now. . . I'm not really making any sense, but keep reviewing away, to those who want to review of course. If you feel I'm not worth reviewing, then please tell me so! =P Alright, gotta go! :-)
Rebecca: If you are reading this, you've probably guessed who this is! Well, if you could review this for me, it would be good!
