Chapter 5
Draco looked down at Felicity, her face glowing in the somewhat dim light. He watched in fascination as a haze of red and green lit up her face.
Felicity hadn't noticed Draco's staring and opened up her crumpled letter and began to read.
"Now I must tell you my secret, for if they were to hurt you, I would never forgive myself. Felicity (she choked) I was a death eater that used to terrorize the north part of England, but I (sniffle) stopped because I met your mother, and I became kinder and softer hearted. Don't (sob) hate me Felicity for the mistakes I have made." Felicity choked and folded the letter up again.
Draco was completely shocked. He opened his mouth one or two times as if to speak but nothing came out. Not a single sound.
"It's ok. My father was a death eater and tried to train me into a death eater rookie." Malfoy managed to say after a few seconds silence.
"I don't know what to think anymore. I don't who my father actually is!" Felicity got up and collapsed onto her bed in frustration and anger.
Draco got the message and stood up. "Well, I've got some stuff to do so I'll be going now," he said, looking slightly uneasy. In one sweeping motion, he left the room, carefully closing the door behind him.
Once he was out of earshot, Malfoy started cursing and muttering under his breath. What the hell did he think he was doing? Being nice to a mudblood like her? Well, what's done is done and he was sure that the consequences weren't going to be good.
~+~
Parvati smashed the door open, nearly breaking off the hinges. Searching frantically, she saw Felicity lying down on her bed, tear tracks visible in the dim light.
"Felicity? Liz (Fe-LIS-i-ty)? Hello? Anybody home?" Parvati walked towards Felicity and began to shake her gently.
Felicity sat up immediately, wiping her eyes hurriedly. "What? What? Oh, it's you." Relief washed over Felicity as well as. . . annoyance? Brushing aside her feelings she looked up at her friend, noticing the sparkle of mischief in her eye.
"Well, what's gotten into you? Come on! What's the idea?" Felicity grinned as she watched Parvati frown in confusion before lighting up again.
"You see, since you are the head girl, you can like dock points and issue detentions right?" Felicity nodded. "Well I thought we might have some fun and give some 'law abiding' Slytherins a little nudge in the right direction!" Felicity grinned maliciously. It was the perfect diversion from her aching heart.
"Perfect! Just what I needed!" Felicity said cruelly, and pulling Parvati along, she raced out into the corridor to apprehend some Slytherins.
*~+~*
Draco stepped out of the Slytherin common room, smiling. He had just put into effect stage one of his plan to annoy Potter, and it had worked perfectly.
Checking the time, he realized that it was nearly dinnertime and he had to get there fast.
~+~
Felicity shrugged.
"Oh well. It was fun even though we didn't catch any Slytherins." Felicity said, trying to calm an over excited Parvati.
Lavender shook her head in dismay.
"You need to be subtle. Secretive, subtle, sexy, and above all, smart. That's what makes a head girl." Lavender grinned. "And Felicity happens to fulfill all requirements!"
Hermione glared at Lavender as she ate the roast lamb in front of her. Turning to Harry, Hermione tried to put Felicity off her food.
"Hey Harry, do you remember that three headed dog that Hagrid had in the 1st year? And how we had to get past it to save the Philosophers stone?" Hermione said triumphantly as she saw Felicity drop her jaw in amazement. She shot Felicity a sneer before continuing. "And do you remember how we nearly got smashed to pieces by the whomping willow? And how we had to defeat the death eaters in our 5th year?"
Hermione grinned. It had worked, because Felicity had lost all composure in about a space of five seconds. Her fork had dropped, and her mouth was gaping.
Just as Hermione was about to say a witty remark about Felicity's posture, Draco came sauntering over.
"Hey, mudblood! Having fun eating cold food?" Draco sneered at Felicity and turned on Hermione. "Well, I suppose Fi (as in the Fe in Felicity) has better sense than you. She eats, unlike you Granger." Smirking triumphantly at Hermione's empty plate, he exited the Great Hall, cronies flanking either side.
Felicity sighed. He wasn't putting her down, much. In fact he had just saved her embarrassment on her part. Sighing once more, Felicity left as well. Maybe Malfoy wasn't as bad as she thought.
*~+~*
Felicity watched in amusement, as her classmates desperately tried to conjure smoky images of their two possible Animagus forms. The only that had managed to do it besides her was Draco and Harry.
The two animals hanging in mid-air in front of Draco, was a dragon and surprisingly enough, a unicorn.
Harry's animals were a stag and a phoenix.
Hermione was trying viciously to do the incantation and the wand movement properly, but to no effect.
Professor McGonagall watched the struggling students and told Draco, Harry, and Felicity to help their classmates. Felicity immediately went to help Parvati, and Harry turned to help Padma who was sitting next to him.
Draco, on the other hand walked around until he spotted Hermione and he grinned. Walking over, he watched Hermione desperately try the wand movement but still to no avail.
"You're not doing the wand movement correctly. Here." Draco said, gently taking Hermione's arm, he conducted the wand and smoke erupted from Hermione's wand. Thanking Draco, Hermione turned her attention to the smoke that was forming in front of her eyes.
Felicity had watched the whole thing, and felt a considerable twist in her stomach, and a feeling of. . . jealousy?
Dismissing her radical thoughts, Felicity watched Parvati finally manage to conduct the spell. Yelping with delight, she thanked Felicity and watched her smoke as a cat and a tiger formed in front of her eyes.
Felicity moved to help Lucas from Ravenclaw, but Professor McGonagall stopped them before anything else had been done.
"Now, your homework for tonight is to practice those incantations and wand movements. Now rest assured, if I find any animals wandering around the castle, I will personally make sure you are expelled."
The class bustled out, and Felicity snubbed Draco as she walked past when he made a grab for her arm, making him frown.
*~+~*
Felicity sat down on the couch and groaned. She had about a foot of homework waiting for her upstairs, and she didn't feel like doing it one bit.
She felt disgusted with herself. Felicity had always prided herself on being motivated and a good student, but now she was just like everyone else. Lazy.
Picking herself up, Felicity went upstairs, planning to do half of her homework before the weekend truly started.
*~+~*
Felicity sighed. She had worked all night the previous night and all day, and felt that she was no closer to finishing than she was yesterday.
Slamming her book shut, she left the common room and stepped outside into the cold corridor.
She raced down the stairs and flew out of the front doors and tumbled onto the grass, breathing in the fresh air and the smell of grass.
She stood up and brushed off the grass bits that had stuck to her robes. Shaking the last piece off, she undid her hair and let it loose.
Felicity walked for several minutes, before reaching the forbidden forest that was no longer forbidden to students. You were allowed several hundred metres in, but you couldn't go further than that.
Breathing deeply, she stepped into the forest and hummed to herself softly. She came to her favorite clearing and she sat down to rest.
Just as she got comfortable, she saw a pair of red eyes appear in amongst the trees. Felicity had her wand out in less than no time and watched the red eyes suspiciously.
Felicity glared at the red eyes and prepared to blast the eyes into oblivion when she heard laughter pierce the clearing.
Staring around in confusion, she turned to face the pair of eyes that had turned from red to pale gray. Sighing considerably she pocketed her wand.
"Are you sure that's a wise thing to do mudblood?" a voice rang out.
"Draco, what are you doing here?" Felicity groaned. She had hoped to have a peaceful afternoon.
"Clearly I wasn't the only one who felt the beckoning call of Elven Glade." Draco said, emerging from the trees.
"Elven Glade? Oh! This is Elven Glade I suppose?" Felicity said, surprised at the naming.
"Yup!" Draco said, moving closer, gliding like a pale ghost. "Apparently elves used to dance in the clearing to give it good vibes. It makes the people in the glade at the time, nicer." Prowling around Felicity, he put his hand on her shoulder and felt her shudder.
Spinning her around, he caught her in his hands. "But I think that is a load of rubbish." Draco's eyes glinted like steel and Felicity saw a shadow of something stir behind his eyes. . .
Felicity stared at Draco in fright. What was he going to do? Was he toying with her? He surely wouldn't hurt her would he?
"I have two things to tell you. First, steer clear of me, and second, steer clear of my family. You don't want to mess with the Malfoy's." Draco whispered.
Felicity trembled and tore herself away from his grasp and ran blindly from the clearing. She didn't look back, because otherwise she would've seen Draco's triumphant smirk plastered across his face.
~+~
Confusion ripped through Felicity as she tried to figure out what that scumbag Malfoy was planning. Obviously it wasn't going to be pleasant, but she really wanted to know, despite the consequences.
Felicity sat down on the couch and ran through all of the things that Malfoy did around her. 1. He insulted her 2. He hexed her 3. He toyed with her emotions 4. He threatened her 5. He called her names 6. He was all round mean and nasty 7. He screwed up her head
Felicity wondered whether what Draco had said to her was a threat, a warning, or a means to protect her.
Pondering this, she slipped into bed, and fell a sleep.
~+~
Felicity's dreams were plagued with strange figures cloaked and masked. They called to her and tried to drag her into a room.
Felicity broke away as the many boys, were they boys?, hung their heads in rejection. She shook her head and started heading in the opposite direction when two hands caught both arms.
Felicity swiveled around and saw two more masked boys but this time she saw the steely look of determination as they argued and fought with each other in a strange tongue that Felicity didn't recognize.
Pulling away, she ran from both of them, but one followed still. Turning to face the tormentor, Felicity pulled out her wand and pointed it straight at the cold grey eyes, the only facial feature she could see. Felicity prepared to blast this idiot into oblivion when she felt her being yanked out of the dream.
Felicity woke, moved. . . confused. . . and angry.
Blinking in the dawn, she changed quickly into her robes. Felicity yawned and glanced at the sleeping figures. Moving silently, she gently woke Parvati up, and pulled her into the dawn, planning on getting the truth out of Malfoy.
She was going to find out what he meant if it was the last thing she did.
