A/N: Okay. The story is BACK UP!!!! I am CONTINUING! Yay! Aren't you PROUD of me? Not really? Aw... =Fox pouts= Oh well, here's another chappy.
Chapter Seven
"Christmas BREAK!" Hermione could be heard screaming and dancing to the Christmas carols playing on the CD player in the common room.
"Mya! Either sing or yell, but either way DON'T DO IT OVER THE MUSIC!" Draco shouted, trying to make himself heard.
It was no use, the platinum blonde head girl continued singing and dancing and screaming. With a sigh, Draco opened the door to the Gryffindor Common room and bellowed at the top of his lungs.
"POTTER! WEASLEY! WEASLEY! BROWN!" Down the stairs came Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Lavender, stumbling slightly in their hurry. "Does she always do this?" He demanded, when they had stopped before the portrait-hole, pointing towards the singing and dancing Hermione.
"Ohhhhhh boy. Check her room. If there are two empty bottles of Christmas is Coming, then yep. If not, then she's on crack or something." Harry said. Draco arched an eyebrow, not knowing what Crack was, but he went up to check. Sure enough, there were two empty bottles of the potent liquor that was known to boost spirits close to Christmas.
"Oh joy." Draco said, calmly, walking back downstairs. "Is there anything I can do to SHUT HER UP?" Draco asked, rubbing his temples.
"Yeah...feed her to the giant squid." Ron said, calmly. "You might as well come in and play exploding snap, Malfoy. It's going to be a long day."
Draco was about to refuse when a particularly horrible wail came from the girl dancing behind him. With a wince, he crawled through the portrait-hole and walked over to sit with the Gryffindors.
Imaginary Line
"What is that incredible racket!?" Lucius demanded of Professor Snape as they walked towards the Head Rooms.
"That." Snape said, "Would be a yearly occurance. Now, Lucius, I'm not certain I understand. Why is it that you came to Hogwarts to fetch Draco home? If the boy wishes to stay, let him."
"I cannot do that, Severus." Lucius said, smoothly. "Our lord wants him to be initiated this christmas. He will be back to Hogwarts by Christmas Morning. I just need to tell him where to meet me on Christmas Eve."
"Of course, Lucius." Snape grit his teeth for a moment before smirking his normal, snapey smirk. "Dragon Tears." He said to the portrait of the twins, which swung aside, allowing the two men to walk into the Head Dorms.
Just to be confronted with the sight of Hermione Granger singing at the top of her lungs, out of tune and completely tone deaf, with a christmas carol.
Snape winced and walked over to the CD player, shutting it off. "Miss Granger!" He said, sharply.
Hermione snapped to attention, swaying a bit and looking at him. "Yes Srofessor Pape? I mean Feporsser Pase? I mean..."
"Nevermind it, girl!" Snape rubbed his temples. "Where is Mr. Malfoy?"
Confused, Hermione pointed to Lucius. "No no no NO" Snape snarled. "DRACO Malfoy!"
"Oh. He's in the Cryffinroom Gommondor...the Grymmondor Coffinroom...the..."
"We get the point, Miss Granger." Snape said, walking to a portrait with the Gryffindor Lion on it. Opening it, he called through. "Mr. Malfoy, may I have a word?"
Draco looked over at Snape, just to have the cards blow up. Cursing under his breath, he stood up and walked over to the portrait-hole, climbing through. "Yes, Professor?" He looked back to where Hermione was standing, looking up at Lucius. She had a very determined look on her face.
"Master Milfoy...M-Misfoy Malter..."
"Mister Malfoy?" Lucius supplied, helpfully.
"YES! Milfer...oh forget it. YOU, sir, look like you need a drink!" Hermione tottered to the stairs and began to make her way up them. Lucius watched until she was out of sight, an amused smirk on his face, before he turned to his son.
"Christmas is Coming." Draco said, simply. "Was there something you wanted, Father?"
"Yes. I will pick you up in the HeadRoom Floo at exactly ten o'clock on Christmas Eve. Do not be late, Draco." Lucius said, coldly, before walking out of the room. He closed the door and swept out of the castle, leaving Snape behind.
Snape stood for a moment before looking down at Draco. "How about you and I take a little walk, Mr. Malfoy? Straight to the Headmaster's Office?"
Draco gulped. "S...sure...whatever you say, Professor."
