Chapter 5 ~ Secrets and Lies
It was well after dark when Draco was thrown from the Ravenclaw common room by Padma. He hadn't even done anything to uspet her, so how could she treat him like that? He headed back to his common room, but unfortunatly for Draco, he met Peeves on the way.
'Oh dear if it isn't itty bitty Malfoy, what are you doing out of bed?' Peeves sang. When Draco didn't answer, and kept walking, Peeves got annoyed and threw something at his head. Draco ducked with great agility.
'Where have you been you naughty boy, out of bed, well after bed time, and a Prefect as well,' Peeves paused to dramatically gasp. 'STUPID STUDENTS OUT OF BED!' He bellowed. 'STUDENTS OUT OF BED! FILCH THERE'S STUDENTS OUT OF BED 'ERE! COME QUICK!' Draco ran, and didn't stop until he was back at his common room entrance.
'And where may I ask, have you been Mr. Malfoy.' Sitting on a couch, with a cold look on her face, was Pansy.
'Where I have been, is none of your business.' Draco muttered in reply. Apparently this was an unacceptable answer.
'Tell me where you have been or I will be forced to tell the Headmaster.' Pansy threatened.
'Fine, tell the Headmaster, there's nothing he can do about it anyway.' Draco stormed off to bed.
~ Back in the Ravenclaw common room ~
'Cho, what was Draco Malfoy doing in our common room? You didn't tell him the password did you? Cho!' Padma gave her a look of betrayel.
'Padma, listen to me carefully, I am Head Girl, and Draco Malfoy is a Prefect. Seeing as our meeting room has not been opened, he was simply in our common room discussing with me some arrangements that Heads and Prefects have to make this year. So please Padma, don't jump to conclusions.' Cho amazed herself at how good she could lie giving her situation.
'Oh, but come on Cho, it's Draco Malfoy! Do you know what he's like? Hannah and Hermione told me about your trip over here on the Hogwarts Express. Quite unfair really. It isn't Hermione's fault she's muggle born, and one of the best witches in school I might add. He's a bad sort Cho, you shouldn't spend so much time with him.' Padma walked over to the stairs. 'I'm going to bed Cho, you should really think about what I said before going and spending any more time with Malfoy.' And with that, she was gone.
'His name is Draco.' Cho whispered to no one inparticular. Soon after Padma, Cho too went to bed.
***
Draco woke suddenly. He had no idea what woke him, Pansy was no where to be seen. He sat up carefully, and saw that it was still dark outside. He tried to remember his dream.
Flying through the air, wind rushing in his face, chasing the Snitch. Cho watching from the stands. Beauxbatons Seeker too slow. He had the Snitch! The game was over, Hogwarts Victory!
Potter, moving in on Cho.
~ Change of scenery, Forbidden Forrest ~
Cho and Harry, together, Draco standing helplessly by watching as Harry made a move on Cho. Tried to move, but found himself in full body bind. Hermione standing behind him
'Hurts doesn't it Malfoy.' She sneered.
'Ahhhhhhhh!' Draco became aware that this time, Pansy was by his bed digging into his arm with a pocket knife.
'Hurts, doesn't it Malfoy.' She sneered.
'Get off me Pansy.' He hissed, carefull not to wake the others in his room. Pansy, however, was unconcerned about the other Slytherin 6th Year Boys. She started howling at the top of her voice.
'DRACO! I KNOW YOU WERE WITH CHO CHANG LAST NIGHT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DRACO! YOU HAVE CHANGED SO MUCH, AND IT'S FOR THE WORST. I'LL BE INFORMING YOUR FATHER OF THIS MATTER.' Pansy's hair was flailing over her face in a mess, her cheeks were red, and she looked exhausted and dangerous. Draco didn't dare speak. After a few seconds had passed however, Pansy left, no doubt to send Lucious an owl.
***
At breakfast, Cho saw Hannah Abbott and Justin Finch-Fletchley sitting together, hand in hand, and she smiled. Reminded her of Draco. Draco! He wasn't anywhere to be seen over the Great Hall. Cho kept her thoughts to herself, not wanting Mariette to get suspicious. A full ten minutes had passed, and lessons were to start soon. Draco still hadn't showed up. Cho stood up.
'Mariette, I'll see you in Defence Against the Dark Arts.'
'Where are you going Cho?' But Cho had already sped out of the Great Hall, in desperate search of Draco. While running to the Slytherin common room entrance on the 4th floor, Cho bumped into Pansy. Both girls were running, so they were both knocked off their feet. Pansy was up with a flash, but Cho had hit her head on a statue in the hall. She was unconscious. Pansy took off. Smiling smugly.
***
'Mariette, where's Cho? She's never late for lessons!' Anabelle asked looking worried. Professor Krum was talking about Aurors, but neither of them were listening.
'Do you think we should go look for her Anabelle?' Mariette kept glancing nervously at the door, as if willing Cho to be there.
'Yes, hang on I'll tell Professor Krum that we need to go to the hospital wing.' Anabelle hurried over to the Professor.
'Professor?'
'Yes Miss Cleary?'
'Um, Mariette and I don't feel well, I, we were wondering if we would be able to go see Maddam Pomfrey and get the all clear?'
'Hmmm, I am teaching a class Miss Cleary, but I suppose, off you go.' Professor Krum turned straight back into teaching his class, without a second look at the girls who crept out of his classroom unnoticed.
Both girls broke into a run. Down each of the coridors, looking in every classroom.
'Oh Anabelle, we have to find her! She's been acting strange all week, and last week too. Something about her has changed!' Anabelle made a noise of agreement.
After about five minutes, the girls came across Cho, lying in the middle of the fourth floor corridor. Peeves was floating around her singing a nasty little song;
Miss Chang fell down
Not another sound
Her head hit the wall
And oh how she did fall
The one who caused it
Is a little shit
And so on.
'Oh my God CHO!' Mariette cried as she and Anabelle ran to Cho's unconscious form lying on the ground.
'Mariette! We need to get her to the Hospital Wing, quick!' The two girls levitated Cho's body, and rushed off to the Hospital Wing.
'Maddam Pomfrey! MADDAM POMFREY!'
'Girls! Settle down, I have patients!' Maddam Pomfrey came rushing out to see what the fuss was about. 'Oh dear.' She said seeing Cho. She took her from the girls levitation spell and lay her on the bed.
'Thank you girls, she's internally bleeding, but should be alright in a day or two, lucky you got her to me when you did. I don't think she could have held out much longer. Her head hit pretty hard. Please, leave me to it. You may come back to visit tomorrow.' Maddam Pomfrey closed the curtains around herself and Cho.
As the girls walked out of the hospital wing, Anabelle turned to Mariette.
'Mariette, which common room is on the fourth floor?'
'Um, I think that's the Slyther.' Mariette stopped dead. Realising now what Anabelle knew. Cho was going to the Slytherin common room.
'Padma.' They both said at once and took off to Padma's classroom.
'Now I would like you to take your box, and attempt to transfigure it into a lamp, with the correct wand movement and spell I showed you.'
'Professor McGonagall, would it be alright if we borrowed Padma Patil for a few minutes?' Anabelle asked.
'I suppose so, Padma dear, some students would like to see you for a while.' Padma wandered over to Mariette and Anabelle, and they went outside the classroom door.
'What can I do for you girls?' Padma asked.
'Padma, you say you saw a Slytherin in our common room last night with Cho?' Anabella questioned.
'Yes, yes Draco Malfoy was in our common room with Cho. She claimed she was doing something with him that Heads and Prefects needed to organise, but the way they were sitting on the couch, well. I threw Malfoy out, naturally, as he didn't belong in there.' Padma said proudly.
'Thank you very much Padma.' Mariette thought this over in her head. Draco hadn't been at breakfast, Cho was worried about him, went looking for him, but someone, or something got to her before she could find him. She explained that to Anabelle as Padma went back into class.
'Slytherin common room it is.' Anabella said as they headed off to the Slytherin common room.
