Thumb Sucker – Chapter 2
Honestly, did you really think I was going to leave you hanging? Sheesh! What kind of an author do you take me for? Anyway, I had quite a few errors in the first chapter. Hermione walked out of her Divination class her 3rd year , because she thought it was a load of rubbish. So when Hermione "shook her head in dismay" she wasn't supposed to be in the classroom. So yea, I messed up pretty bad. Now on to the story! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
THE NEXT DAY- TRANSFIGURATIN- GRYFFINDOR/RAVENCLAW
Misty was trying to pay attention in class, but she kept dozing off. Only the tapping of other quills of other students would keep her awake. She couldn't sleep last night. She couldn't stop thinking about Malfoy. She would toss and turn in her bed the sheets getting soaked with her sweat. She leaned her head sideways on the palm of her right hand considering she had a quill in her left. (AN: Yes, I am in fact a lefty...) She saw a note scuttle towards her on the floor as she looked around the room. It was coming from the Ravenclaw side of the classroom. Misty picked it up and opened it. It said:
Misty,
You won't believe what happened to Malfoy last night! One of the prefects caught him outside the Gryffindor portrait of the Fat Lady. He had a major hang over. Did Malfoy try to do something to you last night? What happened? You look really tired.
Botan
Misty wrote back saying:
Yea, he was drunk. He was following me and telling me how much he loved me. He put a silencing charm on me and he got hit with a stunning charm from behind. Ravinie saved me. I am totally in her debt.
Misty folded it and placed on the floor so it could scuttle back to Botan. (AN: If any of you are Yu Yu Hakisho fans, yes I used Botan's name in this story...) Misty set down her quill and sighed. She usually enjoyed Transfiguration, but she was too tired to pay attention. Professor McGonagall came over to Misty's table and tapped her wand loudly on her desk in front of her. "Miss Hosh. Please do get some sleep so you will be able to pay attention in my class." Misty nodded. She couldn't believe what had happened last night. Malfoy didn't love her. Why would he? He might just like her as a friend, but never more than that. He wouldn't risk his reputation even if he did like her more than that. (AN: Or would he?)
LUNCH
'STOP THINKING ABOUT HER!' thought Draco irritably. He was getting really tired of seeing her in his mind every time he woke up each day. Ever since he met her, he had a tendency to daydream which isn't what Slytherins do. They usually set out to turn their dreams into a reality no matter what they had to do. 'Why don't I just tell her I like her... in a healthy, non- obsessive way.' thought Draco. 'But what would the other Slytherins say?' Draco couldn't eat so he left the Great Hall.
THE COURTYARD- STILL DURING LUNCH TIME
Misty was sitting on her favorite rock in the courtyard. That was her favorite spot whenever she felt like thinking or just relaxing. She heard a rustle in the bushes. Misty quickly took out her wand and yelled, "STUPEFY!" She heard someone yell and curse. Misty slowly approached the brush and carefully craned her neck to look behind it. There was Malfoy lying on the ground cursing under his breath. "BLOODY HELL! Why did you go and do that for?!" Misty just walked back to her rock and sat back down. "Aren't you going to help me?" asked Malfoy irritably. "I have feelings, too." Misty turned her head and shot a cold glare in his direction. "Now what in the name of Merlin did I do this time?" asked Malfoy trying to get up without wincing. Misty just ignored him and tried to pretend she was looking at something of interest. "Are you still mad about the other night?" Misty rolled her eyes and Malfoy tried standing in front of her. Misty turned herself in the other direction. "I am sorry, ok? I wasn't thinking." Misty turned back around and beckoned him to come closer with her finger. Malfoy carefully inched closer and felt a sharp pain across his face. "What were you thinking getting drunk?! You are such a prat!" yelled Misty. Malfoy rubbed his red cheek and couldn't decide which hurt more. Her words or the slap. Malfoy sat down next to Misty on the rock and sighed. He was sitting indian style and ran his hand through his loose hair. "I guess I deserved that." said Malfoy avoiding her eyes. "I am really sorry. I'll understand if you don't ever want to speak to me again." Malfoy got up and was about to get off the rock when he felt Misty tug his sleeve. "When you put it that way... I forgive you Draco..." smiled Misty slightly. Malfoy smirked.
"You called me Draco..." Misty blushed slightly. "Well, it's your name isn't it?" said Misty standing up. Draco was several inches taller than she was so she had to stand on her toes. She kissed him on the cheek. Draco blushed a deep red and cleared his throat as he jumped off the rock. "So you and Potter are over?" said Draco in a more serious manner. "Draco... how many times do I have to tell you that Harry and I are just friends?" said Misty sliding carefully off the rock. "Well, I figured..." said Draco running his hand through his hair again. (AN: That's his nervous habit. James and Draco have something in common... Weird...) "Well, you figured wrong." said Misty. "I love him like a brother." Draco looked relieved at her reassurance. "I am glad you apologized. You are lucky. If I were Jamie I still would've hurt you." said Misty smiling. "I swear I think she wants to kill me..." announced Draco. Misty laughed again. "Well, I wouldn't blame her. I think you need someone to protect you. Not just Crabbe and Goyle. You obviously need the protection." said Misty.
Draco was getting really nervous. He was supposed to tell Misty how he felt. But he didn't know how. He'd never had this feeling before. Love was simply not an option as a Malfoy. All you were there for was to keep purebloods in the family which means to breed, and be in Slytherin. His father never really showed a father's love toward him. When his father would go away for a few days his mother was the only one who really treated him with mild kindness. Lucius did not settle for that nonsense when he was home. "Uh... Misty?" said Draco. "Yes?" asked Misty. Draco wasn't making eye contact at all and was staring at the ground. Misty walked up to him and tipped his chin slightly up to meet her eyes. "It would help if you made eye contact when you're asking a girl out, Draco..." smiled Misty. Draco was taken aback by her sudden impulse. "I... was wondering if you would be my girlfriend..." said Draco. Misty laughed. "That wasn't so bad now was it? Since when have you ever been shy of asking a girl out? Or do you really like me that much?" asked Misty. Draco had also been famous for picking out bimbos to drool over him. One among them was Pansy who acted like a drool monkey every time Draco said or did anything.
Draco kissed her gently and took her hand in his. "HOSH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH DRACO?!" yelled Pansy from the entrance to the courtyard. Misty blushed smiled slightly hardly containing her amusement. "Pansy? What are you doing here? Did you follow me?" asked Draco. Pansy's eyes started to water. "I thought we were together..." wailed Pansy. "We were never together." said Draco looking annoyed. "Go away Pansy..." Pansy ran balling out of the courtyard and Misty laughed a little. Draco sighed as if some heavy boulder had been lifted off his shoulders. "Do you think Jamie might kill me?" asked Draco. "No, I'll protect you." smiled Misty leading him out of the courtyard.
POTIONS- SLYTHERIN/GRYFFINOR (AN: DUH!)
Jamie was sitting behind Misty and saw that she was staring at Draco again and he was staring back! 'Something is going on... someone isn't telling me something...' thought Jamie with an evil grin. After class Jamie sneaked up behind Misty and scared the crap out of her. "JAMIE!" yelled Misty. "That was not nice!" Jamie laughed. "Of course. I am a Slytherin, remember? MWA HA HA!" Misty just glared at her and started walking down the corridor. Jamie caught up and stood in front of Misty. "Is there something you want to tell me?" asked Jamie. Misty's eyes widened with surprise and looked around to see if anyone would help her. "What are you talking about?" asked Misty. All of a sudden Draco came out of the classroom and saw Jamie cornering Misty. He casually walked up and placed his arm around Misty's shoulders. "Don't tell me you don't know, Jamie..." said Draco. Jamie stood there and stared as if she had just seen him for the very first time. "You aren't..." Jamie started to say. Draco nodded. 'Oh God. I hope she doesn't kill me or Draco.' thought Misty. Jamie started laughing hysterically as if it was a joke.
"No really? This is a set up to pull one over on me, right?" asked Jamie looking over at Misty. Misty just looked away as if saying, 'Does it look like we're joking?' Jamie was stunned. Flint came into the corridor and hugged Jamie. "Jamie? Are you ok? GAH!" said Flint finally looking over at Draco who still was leaning on Misty like he did that everyday. "What happened here?" Jamie couldn't say anything. "Well, we're going out if that's what you mean..." said Draco getting slightly annoyed at Flint's reaction. "But she's a..." Flint started. "Hello! I am still here smart one!" said Misty getting annoyed as well. "Let's go Care of Magical Creatures." said Misty taking Draco's hand and heading towards the grand staircase. "Can you believe that? Draco Malfoy and a Gryffindor?" said Flint. "Maybe Malfoy has changed for the better..." said Jamie. Jamie and Flint stood there thinking about it. "NAH!" they both said. "He's still going to be a prat to everyone else." said Flint. "Do you think we should tell Harry and all them?" asked Jamie. "No, I think Misty and Draco can scare the crap out of them by themselves. I know I am scared..." said Flint.
CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES- SLYTHERIN/GRYFFINDOR
Misty and Draco were walking hand and hand down to Hagrid's Hut and saw Hagrid tending to some strange looking creatures. "Hello Hagrid!" said Misty cheerfully. Hagrid turned around to smile at Misty, but he just stared blankly at her. "Uh... good mornin' to ye Misty." said Hagrid. "Oh, Hagrid! Are those Billywigs?" asked Misty. Misty loved Hagrid's class a lot. "Er... yes they are. Could you tell me what they do?" said Hagrid as students began to approach them. "Well, it's native to Australia. It's rarely noticed by Muggles or wizards until they're stung. Those who have been stung have giddiness followed by levitation. Too many stings can cause them to hover for many days on end." said Misty. Draco was stunned at how much Misty knew. Harry, Hermione, and Ron came up to them and Ron looked shocked to see Draco and Misty holding hands. But Hermione was smirking. Harry looked puzzled and couldn't speak. "What? Are you green with envy Weasley because you can't get a girlfriend? Oh, that's right you are engaged to Granger aren't you..." smirked Malfoy. Misty jabbed him with her elbow at his rib. Ron's ears turned really red and he huffed away.
"So, you guys are together.... What didn't Jamie say?" asked Hermione. "She thought we were joking for a brief second." said Misty trying to forget about it. "I thought so." said Hermione. "Well, we'd better try and calm Ron down. Come on Harry." She dragged the speechless Harry to another cluster of Gryffindors where Ron was steaming. A bunch of Slytherins were murmuring amongst each other glaring at Misty from afar. "Oh no... they look like they want to kill me..." said Misty. Draco looked over at them and glared back. "Don't worry about them. They'll come to respect you more. I'll make sure of that." said Draco. "MR. MALFOY! YOU MUST GO FETCH YOUR LETTER IN THE OWLERY! YOUR FATHER HAS WRITTEN TO YOU!" hollered Professor McGonagall. As she approached Draco she looked from Misty to him in an amazed sort of way. "Yes, Professor." said Draco walking back with her. Draco looked back at Misty and smiled. Misty smiled back as well as she could, but she didn't feel safe anymore. Not with the mutinous Slytherins planning her possible death. Ash walked up to the Slytherins and was as happy as ever. "Isn't Draco and Misty the cutest couple?" piped Ash. The Slytherins glared at Ash as one was ready to pounce on her when one held him back telling him she wasn't worth it.
Ash bouncd happily over to Misty. "I knew they liked me! I heard them talking about you, Misty! Yesh I did!" said Ash. Misty's face turned pale with horror. "What did they say?" asked Misty. "They plan to humiliate you in class." said Ash. Misty turned even more pale as she looked over at the Slytherins who were delighting in seeing Misty shrink into fear. Was it possible Slytherins could smell fear? If they could, she was giving off a strong scent and the Slytherins surely noticed. Jamie walked to Hagrid's cabin and pushed through the group of Slytherins. They scowled at her and went back to planning. "Misty?" said Jamie looking serious. 'Oh no! Is she going to kill me, too? NO!' thought Misty. Misty shielded herself as though Jamie might hit her. "Misty? What are you doing?" asked Jamie looking concerned. "Don't kill me..." said Misty sounding like a helpless mouse trying to escape a murderous cat. Jamie laughed. "Why would I kill you? You're my best friend." said Jamie. "I might kill Draco if he breaks up with you or does something to you... heh heh..." Misty lowered her hands a little and let them go to her sides. "I think those Slytherins over there want to commit homicide..." said Misty. Jamie looked over at the Slytherins who had Pansy in their group. (AN: Surprise! Surprise!) "Those guys? No... if they tried they'd have another thing coming... at their FACE!" said Jamie glaring at them. Ash had gone to find Ravinie who was talking to Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Ash attacked her from behind and yelled, "RAVINIE!" Ash had tackled her to the ground. "RA! GET OFF ME!" yelled Ravinie.
"I hope Draco gets back soon. I am scared to even walk by them." said Misty. "Don't worry. You have your friends. Hagrid is here so they can't do anything to kill you. Humiliate you, maybe. But they'd never do it in front of a teacher." said Jamie. Misty nodded, but still didn't feel safe. Misty sat down next to Jamie on the ground and watched Hagrid. She was too worried to pay attention. Draco came back from the owlery after a ten minutes had passed looking as though it was the end of the world. He sat down next to Misty and ignored her for the rest of the class.
AFTER CLASS---
Misty was walking silently with Draco up the grand staircase. "So what did your father say?" asked Misty trying to make conversation. Draco sighed and seemed like he didn't hear her. "Draco?" said Misty looking concerned. "Uh, yea? What is it, Misty?" asked Draco. "What did your father say?" asked Misty. Draco shook his head. "Nothing. Just a few family matters." said Draco. "Is everything alright?" asked Misty. "BLOODY HELL! Do you always have to know everything?! I said it was nothing!" yelled Draco. He fell to his knees looking as if he was in pain. He held his hand and was breathing hard. "Not now..." whispered Draco. He seemed like he was being tortured by an invisible force. "Draco! Are you ok?" asked Misty holding onto him. Draco could hear voices in his head and he couldn't stop them. Kill the girl... Kill her! The Dark Lord orders you! You can only prove your loyalty in killing her... She's a threat! He clutched his hand and seemed like he was breathing was short gasps. "Draco what's wrong with your hand?" yelled Misty. She tried to grab him hand but he pulled it away. "Draco.... Let me see your hand." said Misty. Draco shook his head and collapsed on her. "DRACO?! DRACO! Wake up!" cried Misty trying to hold his limp body up. "SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE!" She heard some cackles and saw some Slytherins coming towards her.
What will happen next? Review! :D

She couldn't stop thinking about Malfoy. She would toss and turn in her bed the sheets getting soaked with her sweat.
