Jumbled
Chapter 4 Endless Surprises
A/n: I updated! Dunno why really, guess I just felt for anyone that might like this story...and I entirely enjoy entertaining ideas about myself and Ron Weasley. Well, get on with it then I suppose.
Disclaimer: I still don't own a fucking thing.....well mom's thinking about getting me a dog but still not much to say for....
Whitney shot up on the couch to see Lucius leering over his son. She was so afraid she couldn't speak and just sat there shocked for a moment. Finally he noticed she was conscious and glared at her, daring her to speak.
As if being signaled, Draco shook awake and held back a gasp as he noticed Whit and his father in the common room with him. He remembered that Ron and Harry were sleeping behind him, so he was careful not to make to much noise. "What the devil are you doing here," Draco whispered.
"A simple visit," Lucius growled, he threw green powder in the nearby fireplace. "Malfoy Manor!" He called into the flames and disappeared.
A roaring sound erupted around the common room, Erica along with Hermione came bounding down the stairs, and Harry and Ron woke up on their couches. The boys still had a scruffy look to them, but the girls looked afraid.
Hermione was the first to speak, "What was that?"
"Sounded like floo-powder," Erica said, walking towards the fireplace, "Who would be coming in here?" She glanced at Whitney and Draco. They were giving looks as if they knew what was going on.
Harry groaned, "That sound made my head hurt." Both the girls rolled their eyes when Ron nodded.
The room went silent for a moment. "Well, Draco and Whit, do you guys know anything?" Erica guessed she should make the question more direct.
"Erm, no idea really." Whitney looked around nervously. "Sorry, just really frightened me with all the noise."
Draco tried to change the subject, "Probably one of your Spew elves, Granger. You're turning them against society."
"First of all it's S.P.E.W., not spew!" Hermione growled as Erica, Ron, and Harry held back laughs. "And second of all, they don't need floo- powder, they have their own magical powers."
Ron chose to speak, "Where were you guys at dinner and for that pool thing tonight anyway?"
"Sick," Whitney said a little too quickly. "Had to stay in bed."
"If you were in bed that long together, you must've been sick for something," Erica laughed.
Draco snorted, "Riiight, you've caught us."
"I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT MALFOY IN THE SACK!" Harry and Ron shouted in unison.
Erica shrugged, "We should probably get you two into a bed. You could come up to the Girl's dormitory. I think Dumbledore didn't block ours off."
The girls helped Harry and Ron up and started them up the stairs. "If you need anything just let us know, alright?" Hermione looked back to the Slytherins. They nodded and lay back down.
When at the top of the stairs, they realized that there was only one empty bed that was Whitney's. "We could make a bed in the floor," Harry said, looking around.
Ron stared at him like he had lost his mind. "Yeah, well the floor hurts my back and," he stretched his arm around Erica's shoulder. "I get really grumpy when I don't get a good night's sleep. Harry, you should probably get in a bed too."
Erica was already on to the familiar game, but started laughing when Hermione and Harry were totally innocent about things. "Yeah, well I guess you could sleep with me Ron. As long as you stay on your side!" She jumped and landed on her four-poster and buried herself under the covers.
Giving a quick wink to Harry, Ron jumped in beside her and almost immediately fell asleep. "So, I could sleep in your bed," Harry tried to say coolly. He had started staring at the ceiling and floor.
"Oh why not." Hermione was starting to sound hearty. They crawled into her bed, all smiles and fell asleep.
"Yeah, they're asleep now," Draco said quietly, walking back to his couch. "You alright?"
Whitney was still a little flustered, "I can't believe he was just looking around here. What do you think he was doing?"
"Probably just a scare tactic, don't let him get to you." He sat down beside her and leaned her head against his shoulder.
She yawned. "You're right, and for the first time in weeks, I'm sleepy." Whit fell asleep almost instantly. He smiled and leaned back, slowly falling asleep.
The next morning started out fairly ugly. Professor Snape had decided to make a surprise inspection of the Prefect common room at five a.m. He had put a silencing charm on himself so he could pace around the students and they would never hear him.
He strolled right into the main room and saw Draco and Whitney asleep on the couch. Deciding that they were sleeping from a late night of studying (yeah right), he moved up to the boy's dormitory. Justin slept soundly while the two beds on either side of him were empty. Weasley was missing. It was possible he was somewhere entirely innocent though, so Snape pushed the hopeful thoughts of punishment out of his head.
This was fairly exciting; in his entire career Severus had never had a chance to stroll through a girl's dormitory. He made his way up the stairs rather slowly and saw the neat form of Whitney's empty bed first. She had always been so neat. Cho turned over in her sleep and grumbled something about brooms in the bed across the floor. He rolled his eyes and moved on.
Hermione's four-poster was decorated in lilac, with lovely floral detail. Harry had the covers over his head as he normally slept and pillows covered him so that it just looked like a stack of pillows next to her. Snape looked at the scene for a moment and then moved to Erica's bed at the end of the room.
Hot pink and black were detailed in everything. Her comforter lay in the floor at the foot of the bed, because she usually got warm during the night and kicked the blanket off. Severus made his way closer to see what the sleeping form of his least favorite student looked like. From far away, it looked like she had four feet sticking out.
He rushed up in interest and found Erica curled up around Ron, her head on his chest and arms around his neck. Oh, the glorious punishment opportunities. But wait, it would be a bit awkward to report to Dumbledore that he had found two of the prefects sleeping in the same bed. Considering the Slytherins were doing the same on the couch. Nah, this was too perfect. He grabbed the back of Erica's arm and flipped her out of bed.
"Flitwick will most defiantly be expelling you for this!" he hissed, dragging her down the steps, he hadn't woke anyone except her and Ron.
Erica cursed under her breath and pulled her pajama shorts. "Snape, what were you doing watching me sleeping anyway?"
"None of your business!" They had gotten to the common room.
Ron sighed, "It's bloody five am, look if you want to get fired fine by me."
"Fired?" Snape looked at him skeptically.
"Yeah, seeing as I've seen you walking up to the girl's dormitory every day this week. Or that's what my story will be." Ron could be so brilliant sometimes.
"You'll pay for this Weasley!" Severus let go of Erica's arm and stormed out of the room.
Erica just smiled and walked back up to her bed. Ron went ahead and followed, there was no reason for worrying about Snape coming back.
Whitney and Draco woke up minutes later to find a small owl on the table.
Children,
I expect you to get to work immediately. There will be no tolerance for mistakes.
Lucius
They read the neatly written letter together and then Draco ripped it to pieces. "We'll take care of it as it comes."
A/n: Well, seeing as it's 4 am and I should try to go to bed, I'll say goodbye. Reviews rock, and I mean they rock hard like The Darkness! So please please please! I'll be updating in a week or so, promise!
