Hallie: "Umm...here's the story." Stares at Draco
Chapter Three
Hallie left the dormitory and went down into the Slytherin common room. She had only seen it briefly the other day. Now she looked around properly. It was classy, with leather sofas and rugs of green and silver lining the floor. There were pictures and tapestrys on the walls, many showing snakes. All around the room were carvings and pillars of stone and shimmering pieces of green material covered the remaining wall space. There sitting in a wooden chair in front of the fire was Malfoy. He was too busy looking into the fire to notice her. Hallie wondered what he was doing here. "Hey, why are you here?" she asked. He jumped about a foot into the air and scowled. "I happen to live here. What's your excuse?" he snarled coldly. "God you're jumpy aren't you. What were you doing down here? Something naughty I bet," Hallie grinned. He turned around and stared into the fire "Hm...so what was with the heroic act last night? Isn't that something Potter would do? You know be heroic and all." Draco stood up glaring at her. "Don't you dare compare me with him!" Draco was still trying to control his breathing. "What? Jealous or something." she asked. "Hallie, just leave me the hell alone!" Draco yelled and ran up to his Dorm. "He...gets...moody...in...der...mornin'." said a slow voice. Hallie turned and says Goyle sitting, again, picking his nose. Hallie went and curled up on a sofa. Goyle came glomping down the stairs and sat in the chair Draco was sitting in.
Hallie was woken for the second time that day, by Pansy, who was shaking her, trying to make her wake up. "Wha....what?" Hallie moaned, sleepily. "Come on lazybones, you've got to get up," Pansy called happily. "Urg," Hallie replied, dragging herself out from under the covers and looking at Pansy through sleep - dusted eyes. "It's not right for anyone to be that cheery at this time in the morning." said Hallie. Pansy laughed. "Let me introduce you to the girls," she said. "This is Millicent Bulstrode and Rose Hunnam. Over there is Clematis Delany and beside her is Sarena Shetty." As she called out each name the girl smiled and said hello. Except for Millicent Bulstrode. "You talk wit Patter?" she asked. Hallie stared. "Er...what?" Pansy laughed. "She asked if you talk to Potter." Hallie looked at Millicent. "Umm..yeah I do." she said. "Well, Hallie let's go to breakfast." said Pansy. Hallie dressed quickly and entered the common room. She saw Pansy immediately, she was sitting on the arm of the chair that Draco was sitting in. She was doing everything she could to flirt with him and although he was laughing with her his eyes seemed restless, searching for something. Hallie caught his eye and walked over the pair of them. "Hey you," Pansy grinned at Hallie, "This is Draco Malfoy. He plays Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team and is a all round BABE." Hallie hid a smile as the "all round babe" stood up and kissed her hand, a lot more calm and collected than last night. "We've already met," Draco said smoothly. "Let's all go and get some breakfast shall we?" He offered his arm to Hallie and Pansy clinging to the other one, they swept out of the common room with Draco's hulking shadows Crabbe and Goyle hanging behind them. As they walked and talked Hallie couldn't help but notice that everyone else seemed to move if they were in the way. It was fun, it was like they were Royalty and everyone else knew it. "Breakfast should be fun today," Pansy said. "Millicent is about to exclaim her undying love for Potter!" "No way!" Draco grinned evily,"What is she gonna do?" "She's made several all-stay pictures and hearts of her and Potter kissing and has put them up over the tables in the great hall. She's also written 'I Love You Harry Potter' in a heart which should appear over the teacher's tables. They're all appearing in the middle of breakfast, in 2 minutes time!" "My God, this should be classic!" Draco chortled. "When Potter finds out Bulstrode's in love with him, he's going to have a seizure!" Hallie smiled faintly as they other two started choking with laughter. 'Why should I care about Potter?' she thought and as the laughter was infectious, she soon joined in. The three of them entered the hall, all helplessly laughing and sat down at the Slytherin table. Across the hall, Harry was staring at them in horror. "What is she doing with Malfoy?" he asked Ron. "How can she be laughing with them? They're Slytherins!" "I know mate, I don't believe it either," Ron replied shocked. "Honestly! What is the matter with you two?" Hermione asked crossly. "It's Hallie. She's over there laughing with them. And they're Slytherins!" Harry cried desperately. "And so's she!" Hermione exploded. "But neither of you can seem to get it through your thick skulls. She is a SLYTHERIN!" Both Ron and Harry stared at her in surprise. Back over at the Slytherin Table, Draco counting down the time. "Three....two...one....Potter humiliation!" Draco grinned. At that second gigantic pictures of Harry Potter and Millicent Bulstrode appeared everywhere in the hall. Pink, swirly writing came from out of nowhere and proclaimed proudly, 'I LOVE YOU HARRY POTTER!' Strains of classic music filled the hall and the Slytherin table erupted into laughter. Hallie could just see Harry at the Gryffindor table, looking slightly pale and wobbling a bit. She grinned - he did look funny. Above him was standing the beast herself, Millicent Bulstrode, holding a bunch of flowers and grinning. Harry groaned and sunk to the floor. Ron and Hermione had formed a kind of wall to prevent Millicent from reaching him. Behind them, Professor Dumbledore and the other teachers had left their table and were making their way towards the center of the chaos that was breakfast. "Miss Bulstrode, would I be right in thinking you planned this little event?" Dumbledore said gently. Millicent nodded. Draco was wetting himself from laughing. "I don't believe it was very appropriate for breakfast," Dumbledore continued,"Would you mind removing the decorations?" "I'm afraid they will stay there for another day or so. That's the spell, you see," Millicent replied. "Ah," said Dumbledore. "You know that this is against the school rules, which means I'm going to have to give you detention." Millicent nodded again, looking past him and peering for Harry, who was still hiding under the table. Hermione stepped infront of her and blocked her view. Millicent scowled. "In future, I hope that you will keep your personal life a little more personal," Dumbledore said, his mouth twitching as he caught sight of Harry who was curled up in a ball and shaking. "Now please get to class. That goes for everyone else too. Get to your lessons please." As the hall started to empty and Millicent was gone, he called to Harry. "I think you can get out from under there now Harry," he said with his eyes twinkling behind his half moon glasses. "She seems to have gone. Give him some chocolate," he told Ron and Hermione, "And he'll be as right as rain." The two of them lifted him up and supporting his weight, they mostly carried him to the Gryffindor Tower where they stuffed him with chocolate. In the grounds of Hogwarts, Hallie, Pansy, and Draco collapsed, exhausted from laughing, tears streaming down their faces. When they had got their breath back Pansy turned to Hallie. "Ready for class?" she asked. "You bet," Hallie replied smiling. Besides having a god time with Draco, she still kept worrying about what Voldemort was up to...
Draco: Laughing "HAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS GREAT!!!"
Hallie: Grins at Draco
