Chapter 9- The Plan

Draco left quite early this morning. He headed down to the park and sat on a bench. After about 5 minutes of being a there a figure approached him. The figure stopped directly in front of him. Draco quickly stood up.

"You're late!" Draco growled.

"By 5 minutes. Did you ever think that I'm on time and you're early?" the figure said.

"Ha-ha Petrus, but there is no denying it you are late."

Petrus laughed "Anyways it's a nice day"

"Lets skip the small talk, you know why your hear"

"Yes I do and quite frankly I'm having second thought about going through with the plan."

"WHAT?!?! We have put far too much effort into this for you to quit on me now!" Draco boomed.

"Calm down Draco, I was just merely suggesting it"

"Suggest SUGGEST?! No you're going through with this. You going to convince Granger that you fancy her and make sure she returns the feelings. When we know we have her you'll dump her. Make sure you tell that it was all a joke and that a Pureblood would never truly fancy a mudblood."

"Its really is cold Draco, are you sure we should do this I mean she rally isn't that bad and its just blood."

"Your chickening out on me aren't you? She has gotten to you. You truly fancy her don't you?"

Petrus looked away "YES DRACO I DO MAYBE IF YOU GAVE HER A CHANCE YOU WOULD SHE SOMETHING IN HER. THE SAME I DID. AND I THINK YOU WERE BEGINNING TO FALL FOR HER TOO WHEN I LEFT. SHE TOLD ME ALL THE GREAT AND FUN THINGS YOU DID TOGETHER AND WHAT YOU DID FOR HER. YOUR SAYING THAT WAS NOTHING JUST A PART IN YOUR PLAN?" he shouted.

Draco became furious at the thought of him fancying Granger. His father would have his head for the mere thought of it. "YES IT WAS!! YOU OBVIOUSLY WEREN'T THERE TO CONTINUE SO I HAD TO TAKE OVER WHEN YOU CAME BACK IT WAS ALL BACK TO YOU."

"I will not have any part of it anymore. You know you are just like your father Draco not caring for anything. And not only that but I shall tell her the truth."

Draco laughed at these comments. However one hit home "you are just like your father Draco" replayed in his mind again. "You tell her and you will loose her I hope you know this"

"I do and I'll take that chance!"

The anger between Petrus and Draco grew more and more with each passing minute. Draco was enraged with the thought of him like his father and a pureblood fancying a mudblood, and of course Pete backing out of their agreement. Petrus knew he was doing the right thing. But crossing a Malfoy was unheard of was Hermione really worth it? Now he wasn't so sure about his decision but he couldn't go back now.

From behind a nearby tree they heard a frantic voice. "YOU BASTARDS HOW DARE YOU. YOU ARE RUTHLESS SELFISH PIGS. AND YOU ARE FAR WORSE THAN LUCIUS! THE BOTH OF YOU. I HATE YOU!!"

Indeed it was Hermione she ran off sobbing uncontrollably. Draco and Petrus looked at each other in shock they had no idea she was behind the tree. But then it hit them her morning walks.

"SHIT" Petrus quickly ran after Hermione. She ran quite fast. Her vision was blurred from the tears in her eyes. She'd been hurt far worse than ever before. When Malfoy first called her a filthy little mudblood it hit her hard. But these words seemed like a simple comment. What she had just overheard was like a thousand knives stabbing her over and over. Feeling something bang against her chest as she ran she realized she was still wearing the locket. She took it in her hand and ripped it off tossing it on the ground as she ran.

"HERMIONE, HERMIONE! WAIT PLEASE LET ME EXPLAIN STOP PLEASE JUST LET ME EXPLAIN MYSELF" a voice called from far behind her.

She couldn't talk to Pete right now not after what had happened she had to get away anywhere. Somewhere where they couldn't find her. She continued to run far down the road past the Malfoy mansion she had incredible strength for someone who was crying uncontrollably.

"HERMIONE!!!!!!" He shouted again. Clearly she wasn't going to stop Petrus headed back to the park where Draco hadn't moved an inch.

Pete began to walk fast and stiff towards Draco still sitting at the bench. Draco was lost in his thought his plan totally backfired. Yet he wondered what Hermione had said to Pete. He regretted admitting to himself that undeniably that he did to enjoy the time he spent with her. Maybe she had gotten to him t-o- SMACK his thought was quickly ended with a punch the face.

"Draco you disgust me" with that Pete walked off.

Draco was completely taken by this Petrus, his friend or so he thought, punched right in the mouth. Feeling his swollen lip Draco looked at the blood on his fingertips. Enraged someone had gotten a shot at him. Draco quickly got up and ran up behind Pete. Hearing the thud of footsteps behind him, he turned to be met by a first right in his nose. They were now even. Pete quickly grabbed his noise and fell to his knees in pain. Draco left leaving Pete crouched on the floor. "That ought to teach him" Draco thought to himself and speedily went home to fix his battered lip. He was not going to let it bruise and ruin his handsome features.

Petrus lay on the ground holding his bloody noise. "DAMN that Malfoy. This is not over. It is far from over. He better be ready!!" ...............................................................................................................................................
