I don't own Harry Potter!

Chapter 4- A habit

It has only been two days and the teachers are giving out homework. In the Slytherin common room, Daeblano was leaning against a wall watching his twin do his homework.

"How can you do your homework when you know that it is due next week?" He asked.

"I don't want to do it this weekend and I want to become a prefect like Hermione" Culliver said.

"Let's talk about something else. Like how are we going to get Draco to stop stabbing himself with that dagger?"

Culliver looked up from his work and sat the quill down.

"Let's face it, it has become a habit of his" Culliver said. "But we may...nah it won't work."

"What won't work? You have to tell me, I don't want our brother to die!" Daeblano said.

"He isn't going to die. I was thinking why not get a girl to get him to stop but he isn't a good friend type" Cull said.

"Oh yeah, well why not look in his journal and he'll explain why this has become a habit of his." Daeblano said.

Cull looked at Daeblano with pity.

"You really have a short term memory Dae; we peaked at it this summer!"

"Oh yeah."

They never noticed that Draco walked in crossing his arms on the couch.

"Well I forgot, what did he write? Who did he like?" Dae stopped when Draco shot him a dark look.

Dae gave a weak smile and took a step back.

"Maybe Hermione or what-ever-her-name-is will change him, I think he wrote that he liked her in his journal"

Dae was motioning Cull to stop but all he could do was ask "What?"

Dae nodded at Draco who was above Culliver with a look of disgust and anger. Culliver lifted his head slowly until his face was in front of Draco's. "Uh-oh" He gave a nervous chuckle.

He tried to get up and but Draco held onto the hood of his robes.

"Peaking in my journal again have you?" He asked them both.

They nodded slowly.

"Can I see that notebook for a minute Cull?" Draco said pointing at the leather notebook.

Cull shakily handed the book to Draco who whacked it on the side of his head.

"OW!" Culliver yelped. "Good thing I wasn't writing a novel."

"Your turn Dae" Draco said.

Dae squeaked and ran. Draco chased Daeblano across the common room knocking down book, chairs and other Slytherins. Dae tried to run up the stairs but Draco caught he foot and dragged him down.

"Please don't hurt me!" Dae pleaded.

"I'm not" Draco said.

Daeblano sighed in relief but felt a notebook hit him in the back of his head.

"OW! You said you weren't going to hit me!" Daeblano hollered

"I did? Sorry, I thought you could handle the pain"

"If you guys look in my journal again I'll give you twice the pain" He said and walked up the stairs to his dorm.

"We need a new idea" Culliver said.

*In the Dorm*

Draco took his dagger out of his trunk and stabbed it in his arm. He was frustrated and a little angry at his brothers. He bit his lip and held back the tears from the pain. After stabbing his arm three times, he put it back in his trunk. He sat there breathing more heavily than ever. He wanted to stop this habit but he couldn't. He knew he couldn't blame his brothers for looking in his journal; they were only trying to find a way to stop this.

"There is nothing they can do" He said to himself.

He sat on the bed thinking.

*First Year Boys Dorm*

"I totally forgot what we read in his journal" Daeblano said lying on his four-poster.

"Hey, maybe we can get Hermione with Draco, and she might turn him around!" Dae's idea sounded stupid to Cull.

"Sure then when he finds out we hooked him up with Hermione then he'll kill us." Culliver said.

"Oh, Yeah but we will give him a favor."

"And what would that be?"

"Hermione could stop him from killing himself!"

"Draco doesn't want to stop, it is his habit, let him decide."

"I don't want him to die Cull"

"I know but... there is nothing we can do."

Culliver thought for a moment.

"Most likely there is no way we can stop him, what can we do?" Dae said walked in to the window.

"I remember the girls he wrote in his diary" Culliver mumbled to himself.

"What are we going to do?" Dae asked himself.

"Pansy, Millicent, and Hermione, hmmm......... he wrote some sort of poem. What was it?" Cull asked himself.

He snapped his fingers and remembered.

"We could send Draco's poem to Hermione!" He said.

"Wait! I have an idea, we could send Draco's poem to Hermione!" Dae said sitting on his brother's four-poster.

"I really hope you find a new twin." Culliver said.

Dae rolled his eyes and said "Well, what is the poem?"

"I don't quite remember it at the moment, but I'm tired, good-night and don't snore too loud this time." Culliver said pushing his brother out of his bed.

Dae mocked his twin's words and crawled in his bed.

Dani: Sheesh, I'd hate to have stabbing my arm as a habit, where the heck did that Idea come from?

Syaoronsangel: Glad you like how it's going, I know, I don't even know any author who wrote that Malfoy has twin brothers.

Darkmoon-on-dragonwings: Glad you think it's very original, a lot of people use to say that.

And my fans for hatred then love, please be patient, I'm having a writers block on that story...
