THE KNEE TREMBLER
Chapter 2 : Draco finds out and passes out... classy!
Draco was in the bath. He really did love the 7th year bathroom - it was the size of a swimming pool, but with more bubbles.
And if there was one thing in the world that Draco Malfoy loved, it was bubbles.
He gave a relaxed sigh and slipped a little further underwater, inhaling the smell of lavender bubbles and generally not thinking about anything too strenuous. It was so nice being in here . . . with no interruption whatsoev -
''Draco! Draco! Draco! Is that you in there?''
Draco growled to himself. Bloody Goyle - just when he thought he'd get some peace and quiet...
''No Goyle, it's not me - I'm a whale who's escaped from my cruel master and is hiding in a bathroom at a school, of course. Well done! You've caught me out, you cunning little man, you.''
The sarcasm in Draco's voice was so thick you could have cut it with a knife.
There was a protracted silence.
''Really?''
Draco reeled at Goyle's rampant stupidity.
''Is Draco still in there then?''
Draco held his head in his hands. ''No, I've eaten him,''he said. ''And very nice he was too. Could have used some seasoning but tasty nonetheless.''
The silence returned.
''Oh,''said Goyle after a while. ''Well... err...'' He trailed off, apparantely thinking. Draco heard Goyle holler, ''OI! CRABBE!''
There was a sound of heavy footsteps.
''Wotcha,''said Crabbe.
''A whale's in there mind,''said Goyle excitedly to Crabbe. ''He's eaten Draco...'' A pause. ''Do you think we should tell his mum? Do you think she'll mind?''
Draco gave an exasperated sigh and heaved himself out of the bath. He wrapped a towel round his waist and headed to the door. Angrily, he pulled it open and stared at Crabbe and Goyle like the idiots that they clearly were.
''Draco!''cried Goyle. ''You're alive!''
Draco rolled his eyes. ''Yes, well noticed, Goyle.''
''But that whale in there - he said he'd eaten you! I was well worried -''
Draco cut him off. ''Goyle, you can't seriously believe that there was a whale in the bath with me. I would've thought you'd have noticed a large fish-like mammal stroll through the door, don't you?''
Goyle paused, seemingly thinking, or at least pretending to.
''Well, you never know,''said Goyle. ''Could've been wearing a hat, couldn't he?''
Draco chose not to reply and went back inside the bathroom to get changed. He returned moments later, looking like his stuck-up, immaculate self.
''So,''he said. ''What did you pull me out of the bath for?''
''I didn't pull you out,''said Goyle, confused. ''You got out yourself - ''
''No, I didn't mean that,''said Draco, wondering how he had so much patience. ''I meant what did you want?''
''Hermione Granger and Harry Potter want to speak to you,''said Goyle.
Crabbe nodded. ''Yeah,''he said. ''They said it's important, or something. I dunno.''
Draco raised an eyebrow. ''They want to speak to me?''he said, deeply confused. ''They actually want to??''
Crabbe and Goyle nodded stupidly. Draco shrugged. ''Oh bloody hell,''he said. ''If it's that important I might as well. I could use a good bitch at Potter right now.''
Draco gave Harry a particularly venomous look when he finally ran into the two of them. Hermione looked rather pale, Draco noticed vaguely.
''Right,''said Draco. ''I've been pulled out of my bath for what exactly? Hop to it, Potter, I haven't got all day to be standing around talking to foolish peasants like you.''
''Bite my arse,''said Harry snappily.
Draco raised his eyebrow. ''Not right now,''he drawled. ''I've got better things to do with my time, such as impaling myself on sharp pointed spears.''
''We can only dream, Malfoy,''said Harry, grinning horribly.
Hermione stepped forward. ''We need to talk,''she said, sternly.
''Do we really?''said Draco, looking pained.
''Yes,''she said. Hermione took a deep breath and looked at Harry, who put a hand on her shoulder for support, mainly for himself rather than her.
Draco turned to Crabbe and Goyle. ''Go away,''he said.
''What? Now?''said Goyle.
''No, next week,''said Draco with sarcasm.
''Oh. Alright then,''smiled Crabbe.
They stood perfectly still, smiling away blissfully at Draco. It seemed that sarcasm was only a seven-letter word to them. Well, obviously they didn't realise it had seven letters in it. To them it was just a big word that meant something.
A spider started to make a cobweb on Crabbe's forehead.
Draco lost his temper. ''Piss off, you freakish blobs!!''he roared. Crabbe and Goyle looked very hurt, and sloped off sadly together. Goyle started to cry.
Hermione looked Draco in the eye. Draco yawned.
Hermione scowled.
''Oh, do talk,''drawled Draco sarcastically. ''I always yawn when I'm interested.''
Hermione ignored him. She took another deep breath then said in a voice of horrible assurance, ''I'm pregnant. And the child's yours.''
There was another protracted silence.
''Crikey,''said Draco.
Then he passed out.
His head made a sound that can only be described as ''bonk'' as it hit the floor, which was rather ironic if you think about it.
Crabbe and Goyle, obviously practically psychic to they're master's plight came running out of nowhere. Maybe they'd heard the sound Draco's head had made.
Goyle threw himself down beside Draco's unconcious form.
''Oh my Christ!''he screamed. ''The whale got him!''
Hermione and Harry looked at eachother. ''He didn't take that as well as I'd hoped,''said Hermione slowly.
Harry put his hands in his pockets and rocked back and forth on his heels. ''I dunno... ''he said. ''He took it better than what I was imagining. Frankly I feel a little dissapointed.''
Hermione knelt down beside Draco. He was out cold for sure. ''Do you think we should get Madam Pomfrey?''she said.
''Nah,''said Harry. ''Let's leave him here for a bit, kick him a little, you know... that sort of thing.''
Hermione ignored this. ''I'm going to get Madam Pomfrey,''she said.
And as she rushed away down the hall, all that could be heard was the sound of Harry's inane giggling, Goyle's noisy crying and the sound of Crabbe picking his nose.
Well? You like? Tell me what you think. Chapter 3 should be up soonish I suppose.
