~A String of Destiny ~
~*~*_*~*~
Blaise walked to his dorm and stepped in.
He coughed loudly to make both Goyle and Crabbe paid attention to him but their snore had filled the whole room.
"AHEM!" and this time it was louder.
Nothing move.
"Huh, so they ignore me now but just now-" a vein popped out at Blaise forehead as he ready to fist any of their faces.
"WAKE UP YOU ALL BASTARD!" Blaise shouted while throwing pillows to both boys.
"HHHEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" [Goyle and Crabbe]
Blaise let out a heavy sighed. "Good, at least they are waking up now."
"What happen to your head, Zabini?!" yawned Crabbe with a little angry tone in it.
Blaise ignored Crabbe's question and continued, "I want both of you to help me on something else. We have to block all the slut and bitch of Slytherin girls. C'mon get off your lazy bum! Or else I wouldn't give you all of my chocolate frogs after this."
Just when they heard about food, they straight-away jumped from their bed.
"Now, I see twenty girls outside," Blaise told them as he peek from the door.
"Don't worry, we could do that!" shouted Crabbe and all of them went out while Blaise was still inside. He was in a deep thought.
'I wonder how Terry Boot and Justin are doing right now? Hope they could block the girls.' thought Blaise silently.
~*~*_*~*~
"Hah, I'm glad I'm out earlier or else, Blaise would have blocked me!" said Pansy proudly.
She looked around her and realized that she was just exactly in front of a big tower where the Virgin Virginia painting was situated. Bushes surrounded the tall tower to make it look a bit like floating tower. She did this because she didn't want to be caught neither Flich and his precious Mrs. Norris nor the prefects that patrol in the night. She even heard that Professor Snape was not in his office and probably was outside and patrolling around the school ground. Professor McGonagall hasn't gone to sleep yet since she just passed her office.
But now, she was outside Hogwarts school ground. All she needed to do is to climb the wall and luckily there were many big pebbles that were out as if they had been designed for climbing.
"Oh no, what should I do? I can't climb with this pair of shoes. This is the new season expensive brand shoes."
"Pansy!"
Pansy turned her head to her left and gasped, "Lisa Turpin! What are you doing here?"
"I should ask you the same thing."
"Hah, so you find the specialty of this tower."
"Of course and I thought I'm the only one. Are you coming here to see that prophecy?"
"What do you think?"
"I thought you don't believe them."
"I just want to see whether it was true or not."
"That's mean we are together in this mission. I'm glad I'm out earlier before been block by Terry and his gang."
"What, your house been blocking too?"
"Yes, all girls wanted to wander around but, well you know what I mean."
Pansy looked at the tall tower. It looked a bit scary if climb.
Pansy gulped and averted her eyes to Lisa, "Do you climb?"
"Well, not as high as this but we have to."
"We should use our brooms instead."
"Oh Pansy, don't tell me you are a chicken. Besides, the closet-brooms is locked, remember."
"Hey, I'm not a CHICKEN!"
"So, Princess Pansy-dear, take off that shoes of yours and let's climb."
Pansy took a deep breathe and in her heart, she was glad at least there was someone to accompany her.
~*~*_*~*~
Draco walked slowly until there were two routes, one to the left and the other to the right. To the left, he will end up to Professor Snape's office, which it was still the dungeon. To the right, he will meet Virgin Virginia's painting so now, he has to choose. He looked at his alarm clock, it was 11.57 A.M.
"I think I just go to the right." Draco walked and walked, there was no sound only his breathing and his footsteps until he stopped at Virgin Virginia's painting. The lady in the painting looked at Draco and then she smiled sweetly.
"Are you going to meet your destiny?" asked the painting with her soft smile.
Draco was shocked at first. After for all many years he had passed this painting and watching at her, this was his first time the painting talked to him and it was the most beautiful voice he ever heard in his whole life.
The lady just looked at him, waiting for his answer and Draco thought that he looked stupid for not answering her question.
"I, I mean, yes. I am."
"I see. Good luck. Take good care of *him* and the *baby*," Virginia told him and resumed to as what she was.
'Him and the baby? What did that mean?' thought Draco silently. He then turned to his own route and continued when suddenly he stopped on his track with fear in his eyes.
"What the hell, what am I going to do?" Draco gulped which was a bit un- malfoyish. He looked at his route that was in front of him. It was dark and scary that he could feel the chill wind blew slightly through him. This reminded him the manor hallway which it named 'The Shadow Hallway'.
It is always chilly and scary and if you are lucky or unlucky, you will meet several shadows moving around. They looked like as what the muggle- kids like to call, the Boogie-man. There were no paintings, not a single door or window; it is only a scary and gloomy hallway.
No one dare to pass that hallway, not even house-elves although it's an excellent short-cut to the main hallway. Even his mother didn't dare too unless when she has a company like him or Lucius.
When he was still young and didn't know anything dark secret behind the Shadow Hallway, he usually liked to play his Hide and Seek Doll, Gyaara and Dyemon. But not until he saw one of the shadows. Firstly, he thought it was his father's shadow since it was big and tall but when he raised his head, there was no one. The shadow was still standing exactly in front of him, it made a suckling sound that made Draco tremble with fright.
After that accident, he was sick for a week and his father had warned him to never go that hallway anymore since he was so worried about his own son's safety. His father couldn't destroy the hallway nor could he demolish it because if it was destroy, there will be a huge hall in the middle of the manor and if it was demolish, no matter how much he change it into a room or something else, that place will always be shadowy and gloomy. So, it was forever the immortal of "The Shadow Hallway".
When his memory has stopped till their and now he was in the reality, his heart beat harshly, he felt as if he was truly in "The Shadow Hallway."
Draco took a deep breathe as he closed his eyes and reminded himself, "This is Hogwarts not the manor so, this is not 'The Shadow Hallway', this is just a hallway, a very simple hallway with no shadows and no suckling sound."
When he had calmed himself, he looked back at his route and froze.
"What if there are something lurking in the darkness? What if- what if there are shadows? What if there are suckling sound? What if- what if-"
Draco could feel tears that started to appear at his eyes. Those memories still haunted him. He imagined there was a big shadow walking towards him. But then, he saw *IT*. It coming forward- and forward- and forward-, there were no footsteps could be heard. *IT* was there, walking towards him.
Draco froze to his spot, his breathe quickening, his eyes widen open with terror in them, his right hand was grasping his wand, ready to attack if need.
~*~*_*~*~
"Did you see anything?!" shouted Lisa who was below Pansy. Pansy was way ahead her while they were climbing and now, she could see that Pansy had arrived at the top that connected to the huge glass window.
"For Merlin sake, be patient! Just two more pebbles!"
~*~*_*~*~
Draco wanted to cry, cry out loudly so instead of crying out loud, he felt to the ground with his knees and a sob came out. He closed his face with his both hand trying hard to stop his wild imagination about shadow. He could feel it; he could feel the presence, the presence of the shadow. He didn't realise that the long needle had already struck 12.00A.M.
Suddenly-
"Draco, are you alright?"
Draco looked up. He was surprised. It was-
"Harry?"
~*~*_*~*~
"Ok, one more!" Pansy grasped the pebble and let herself being pulled upward and then she saw-
"Pansy! ARE YOU THERE YET?!" That made her jumped a bit and she looked at Lisa angrily.
"Just shut up for a while ok, I'm here now," replied Pansy with an angry tone while Lisa just gave her an innocent face.
After that, when she just averted her eyes to a one single figure with raven hair-
"WHAT ARE YOU BOTH DOING UP THERE?!"
That angry shout made Pansy totally jumped that she lost her grasped and felt down to the earth with a loud shrill.
"UUHHH, AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
On her way of her fell, she accidentally hit Lisa who was just half-way of the tower. She was in terror when she saw Pansy fell just on the exact spot of on top of her. She screamed even louder than Pansy.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
*CRASH*
And both of them stumble together into the thick bushes that surrounded the tower.
~*~*_*~*~
"UUHHH, AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Harry looked beside him through the window, seeking whose screaming was that. He looked back at Draco who was in a state of daze.
"Did you hear that, Draco?" asked Harry.
"Uh, hear what?" blinked Draco when another screamed was heard again and then a big loud crash as if something hit into the thick bushes.
They together went to the window and looked below, nothing; they can't see anything, just dark.
Draco stopped looking out and looked at the other boy. He then heard some voices saying 'destiny' and he remembered, is Harry his destiny?
"Are you-" Draco started, "Are you-" this made Harry looked at him back, forgetting about the screaming. "Are you- I mean, what you are doing here?"
"Why, are you planning to take points away?" teased Harry with a mischievous smile.
Draco shook his head. "I'm just wondering, if you don't mind."
"Well, I was just from somewhere. As usual, I can't sleep. Quite a surprise to meet you here. It's just like every other night where we always bump each other like as if we were tied to a string of *destiny*," said Harry.
Draco stared at Harry shocked and amazed.
"I remember now, the prophecy that was made three months ago by Professor Trelawney. You're my, I can't believe it, you are my," Draco walked forward until he stood face to face.
"Destiny," continued Draco with whisper that Harry barely caught.
When their noses had touched each other, Draco gazed at his beautiful emerald eyes and he asked the question that Harry had silently prayed every time when he was in his dream world.
"Can I kiss you?"
