Draco paced agitatedly in the Common Room. He didn't want to be here.
He wanted to be in the Infirmary, with Echo, Solana, and Blaise. He
wanted - no, needed - to make sure they were alright. He glanced around
the empty room. The four Slytherin boys had been taken to Dumbledore by
Snape, and he sincerely hoped they were all expelled. If he ever found
any of them again, he'd kill them. Draco walked to the exit, more liked
ran by he told himself that he walked.
"Dracoooooooo! Come here and give me a kiss." Pansy skipped up to him
and puckered her big over glossed lips. She thought that because he had
taken her to the the yule ball once, that automatically made him her
boy friend. Even though that was three years ago she held that against
him.
Draco shuddered, "Er... I can't. I've...uh... Got to go to the
Infirmary." He was out of the Common Room before she could protest.
Draco ran down the hall, this time he wasn't kidding himself. Yuck! I
just talked to Pansy! Wait! Draco stopped. She might have been there
when Echo was raped! She could of been in on it! Draco turned back.
Wait... she's not that smart. And do I really want to go and talk more
with her? Draco shuddered at the thought. "Nope! No way." Draco turned
back to the stair case and ran up it.
He slipped into the Infirmary several minutes later, having dodged
first Snape, then Filch and his blasted cat.
"Fine I am going to sleep, geash! Are all girls like this?" He heard
Blaise whisper.
"I thought you were going to sleep." Solana growled back. Draco had to
strain to hear her.
Draco smiled.
"Hey Drake! Over here! They have been at it for awhile now, and i don't
think they are going to stop any time soon. What's funny about it is
they think they will." Echo whispered to Draco, her bed was closest to
the door.
Draco walked over to her and sat at the end of her bed. "! How long
have they been arguing?" He asked as Solana voice rose.
"... You pompous ass! I can't BELIEVE you'd drop so low!" Her voice
lowered again, and Draco looked over at Echo.
"About 15 minutes." Echo giggled.
"...I didn't drop low, I just asked a very odd question. It's not my
fault that I happened to notice you wear pink underwear!"
"Very odd question?! You bloody prick! You wouldn't have noticed if you
hadn't looked!"
Draco rolled his eyes, "Think one of us should interrupt?"
"Yeah, but lets wait a little longer, it just got better." Echo smiled
up at Draco.
"I did not look! But it was kinda noticeable! I mean, they were showing,
and.... Fine! I was looking but that's not the point!"
Draco smiled back, "Alright."
"You..." Solana's voice was strangled, and there was the rustling sound
of sheets as she moved.
"Ahhh! Don't hit me!" Blaise tried to get up then realized he was still
naked.
"Heehee. So Draco why are you here so late?" Echo whispered as Solana
continued to hit Blaise.
"I couldn't stand to be around the Common Room anymore." Draco
answered, glancing towards the other two occupied beds. Well... One
occupied bed. Solana had abandoned hers in favor of hitting Blaise.
"Miss us?"
"...Owwww...Stop it! I'm still hurting from saving you!" This comment
only made her hit him harder.
"Of course." Draco smirked as Solana hit Blaise harder, earning a yelp
from the Head Boy.
"....I surrender! And I am sorry I will never ask you why you wear pink
undies again! Just stop hitting me!" Blaise cried.
That made Echo burst into laughter. "God Blaise! You're a man, aren't
you?!" Echo laughed harder at the looks they gave Draco and her.
Solana flushed in the dark, and moved back to her bed.
Draco bit back a laugh, settling for a quiet chuckle, "We'll never be
sure, Echo... Unless you're willing to check..."
"That would be incest Draco, and plus he would probably like it more if
you did it."
His nose wrinkled, "I'll pass, thanks."
"How long have you been awake Echo?" Blaise asked with new found
confidence.
Solana growled, speaking into her pillow, though the words were very
clear. "Shut. Up. Zabini."
"I wasn't talking to you, Malfoy!"
"Do I care, Zabini?" Solana lifted her head, glaring at the dark lump
that was the Head Boy.
"You are mean, you know that? Pure evil. And to think I was starting to
like you." He had let it slip, him and his big mouth. "I mean, like a
friend."
She blinked at him, deciding to ignore his slip - for the moment, "I'm
a Malfoy, it's part of the job description."
"Not always true, look at Drake for instance! He is really a very soft
and sensitive person who love's his stuffed dragon bed toy." Blaise
exclaimed.
Again, as if she had to laugh at peoples faults, Echo burst out
laughing. "Stop it. You're killing me!" Echo yelled in a giggly way.
Draco buried his head in his hands, shaking it. "Keep Puff out of this!"
Solana blinked, "Drake, you've got to be kidding me."
Draco looked up, shaking his head more. "No... Blaise, I'm going to
kill you. You told me you wouldn't tell!"
"I did no such thing! I said I wouldn't tell anyone that you kiss it
goodnight! Oops."
"HAHAHAHA! You two are really killing me! Puff the magic dragon!! And
you kiss it goodnight!!! I can't breathe!!" Echo was laughing her arse
off rolling around on the bed until she fell off it, all the while
laughing. "HAHAHAHEHEHE!"
Draco flushed, "It's not funny!"
Solana rolled her eyes, settling back into her bed. Oh yeah. Echo
really sounded like a rape victim there. Though she had to admit, the
image of Draco kissing anything small and fuzzy was amusing.
A scream sounded in the Infirmary, even the people in the hall stopped
and looked curiously at the door.
"AHHHH! Get off me! Leave me alone! Stop!!" Echo cried in her sleep she
was tossing and turning as Madam Pomfrey tried to wake her.
"Stop it don't touch me! I will have you killed for this!!!!" Echo was
screaming so loud that it had waken up Solana and Blaise who were now
surrounding her.
Worried looks passed between them. Draco who had been yelled at this
morning for sleeping there was kneeling by the bed.
Echo's eyes sprang open. "I am infected!" She sat up rubbing her skin
trying in vain to rub out the foulness she felt there. "All of you get
away from me! I have been contaminated! I should have died! It would
have been better then this!!" Echo screamed as tears fell from her eyes
wetting her sheets.
"Echo?" Solana bit her lip, pushing past Madame Pomfrey and Draco.
Draco looked between Echo and Solana. How was his sister going to calm
her when he couldn't?
"Solana, they were to strong I couldn't..." She shook her head. "I
should have died, or killed myself." Echo started to hit her head if if
she was trying to beat the memory out of her head. "I have been
infected."
"It's okay..." Solana worried her lip between her teeth, reaching out
to gently touch Echo's shoulder.
Echo gasped and flinched.
"Echo?" Blaise could hardly believe that this was the same Echo who was
laughing at Draco's stuffed dragon.
Solana jerked her hand back, biting her lip harshly. Dammit... She
moved away from Echo, swallowing back tears. Oops...
"Echo I love you and I am glad you are alive, there is nothing in the
world could compare to the pain that I would have felt if you had
died." Blaise looked lovingly at his frantic sister.
She smiled. "You mean that?" Her voice was small ! and insecure.
"I do. Now what is with this get away thing?" Blaise faked a hurt look
at his sister.
"I-I..." Her voice quivered as she started to cry again.
Blaise sat down on the bed and pulled her in to a very loving hug.
"Shhh. We are all here for you."
"Blaise do you think they got me pregnant?" Echo whispered in her
brother's ear.
Blaise looked up at Madam Pomfrey tears swelling his eyes. "She wants
to know if she's pregnant." Blaise looked like he was going to blow
chunks if she said yes.
The nurse shook her head, "No... It was a close thing, what with there
being four of them, but she's fine, save the traumatic shock."
Draco moved over to Solana, who was watching Echo and Blaise with a odd
expression. "Lana?"
She jumped, looking over at him, "What?"
"Are you alright? I mean, ignoring the whole ra-"
She winced at the beginning of the word and nodded, "I'm fine. Just..."
She shrugged.
He nodded, "I understand."
She smiled shakily at him, "Thanks Drake. You're a good brother."
Draco smiled back, "No problem, Lana."
"What happened to the guys.." Echo's voice was filled with pure hate.
"They have been expelled and sent home, Miss Zabini." The entire
company next to Echo's bed jumped at Dumbledore's voice. "And I have
contacted your parents. They wish to press charges." He avoided looking
at Solana, and she bit her lip.
Her family wouldn't care anyway.
Echo looked from Solana to Dumbledore and back to Solana. "What about
the Malfoy's? What did they say?" Echo still had a hateful tone to her
voice.
Dumbledore smiled sadly. "They did not say anything."
