A/N This chapter is dedicated to my friend Heather; you make math class
with Mr. Park (Meep!) bearable. Also, welcome to the family my brand new
niece, Ava.
Last Time:
My mouth was hanging slack. My brain was frantically searching for something to mask my feelings, or something to say. I blinked rapidly. Malfoy was getting angry.
"What are you staring at Mudblood?" He said bitingly. I finally turned away from him and covered my mouth, a grin spreading slowly over my face.
"Well?" Demanded Malfoy. I turned back to look at him again. I bit my lip to stop from giggling and looked at the floor. My eyes fell on the black leather heels he was wearing. Up his long muscular legs, clad in fishnet tights. His six-pack covered by a shiny leather body suit with no sleeves and a little collar at top. The cufflinks on his wrists. The bunny ears on his head. It was just too much. I burst out laughing. I was hysterical. I was on the floor. I was crying. I couldn't stop. I opened my eyes finally and saw a leather heel. I closed my eyes again. I was laughing again. It was impossible. I'll never stop, I thought. I felt someone lift me back onto my bed. I finally calm down. I'm still panting though, when I open my eyes a second time and look into the glaring gray eyes of Draco Malfoy. Draco Malfoy with bunny ears and a little collar. I shut my eyes again and screw up my face in an effort not to laugh. I turn on my side so I don't have to look at him.
"Go to Vegas much, Malfoy?" I ask tartly. I hear a click of heels as he walks somewhere and then a creak of springs as he sits down on his bed.
"No, Granger. How dare you turn your back on me? Can't you even look at me when you talk to me? Did you learn no manners? Or are you just afraid?" I hear him say.
"I am afraid, actually. Afraid of death by laughter. Why are you wearing that outfit?"
"Well, I woke up this morning and thought, 'wouldn't I look good parading around Hogwarts as a muggle whore'?" I can't help but laugh a little. At least he's being good-natured.
"No, really. What REALLY happened to you?"
"Pansy happened."
"What? Pansy adores you!"
"Apparently too much. She got upset when I told her I didn't fancy her."
"And she did this? That really doesn't sound like Pansy."
"Well, she didn't do it purposely. She was trying to hex herself. I suppose she thought I would like it. Anyway, she pointed the wand at herself, but it went over her shoulder, hit a mirror, and bounced to me."
"Oh. So, is she dead?"
"What? Who? Is who dead?"
"Pansy."
"Why would Pansy be dead?"
"You mean you didn't try and kill her?"
"No. Not worth it. I wasn't that angry!" This is strange. I turn to face Malfoy so I can see if he's lying. Oh God, the sight of him! I concentrate on his face. He seems sincere.
"It WAS an accident after all." He continues, seeing the doubt in my face. Then he smiles at me congenially. Now that is just wrong.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this? Why are you so nice, Malfoy?" I ask him. This is confusing me. Malfoy looks slightly put out.
"Call me Draco. It's just that, my parents died over the summer. Both of them. Voldemort killed them." He looks away.
"But I thought…"
"No, they weren't Death Eaters, if that's what you were going to say. My Uncle Lecial was though."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Draco. I always thought…"
"Yeah well. It always sort of ran in the Malfoy family didn't it?" He smiles at me, almost begging for forgiveness. I smile back. Madam Pomfrey comes in and gives a sleeping potion. The last thing I see before I fall asleep is Draco wearing his bunny outfit. Draco. I smile.
A/N Ok, I know… very weird, but I can't help it. Lecial is pronounced lee- shull. Thanks to my reviewers:
Persephone13- Deftly comical… just what I was going for!
Mione G, Bobby, Michee, Baz, Amo il ragazzo,
Catchytune- No, don't dissolve into a mass of hormones, I want more reviews! (jk, jk)
Bobbie, The Charmed One, Kristina, lovinhp- I'll check out your fic.
Reviews really brighten my day and are very encouraging! Well, I gotta post this chapter… couldn't you just picture Draco in a Vegas bunny suit? Heehee! I was just looking for some malady that hadn't been used before!
