'You imbecile, how could you have let her go? What where you thinking! A simple task, that was all it was and you couldn't even fucking do that!'
'Now you will pay for your mistakes, and forgetting your place…'
The boy stood there, as a green light flew across the dimly lit room
Orion watched helplessly, she tried to run, and push the boy out of the way but her legs wouldn't let her move, she cried out. ' I love you…'
"Orion, wake up!" Draco shook her ferociously. Orion woke up with a start, the blankets were wrapped tightly around her where she had been wriggling so much, she had broken into a cold sweat, and tears were streaming down her now very pale face.
"Draco!" Orion grabbed him shaking
"Get off slime ball!" he yelled, pushing her hand off him
"You, you, you were there…" she said still crying
"Shut up, you freak, whatever look just stop screaming I'm trying to sleep, for Merlin's sake!" Draco retorted slamming her door behind him.
"He was there, he saved me from… from… Voldermort…" she muttered to herself. She wiped her forehead and got up still shaking. She walked into the bathroom, staring at her reflection; she was now a few shades paler and was panting heavily. She decided to have a nice long shower to clam down, and stepped in turning on the hot water and having a good soak.
She stepped out, feeling much better and grabbed a towel from off of the towel rack, wrapping it around her body tightly. She brushed her hair in the mirror and was about to leave when the door to the bathroom swung open, revealing a naked Draco Malfoy standing in the doorway.
"Ahh!" they both screamed simultaneously. Draco dashed for a towel and wrapped it around his waist. There was a long awkward silence. Orion did catch a glimpse of his tackle. Not bad, she thought still staring, Pansy was right, she was so right.
"Will you get out," he screamed at her breaking the silence.
"You where the one that walked in on me. I could have been naked for all you knew Malfoy," she said spitefully.
"Oh believe me, there is nothing to see," he said looking her up and down, although he didn't actually believe this comment he just made.
"There is more than you'll ever know," she said placing a hand on her hip and sauntering out of the bathroom, slightly waggling her hips as she did so. She closed the bathroom door and got changed into her robes.
Did she just saunter? Draco thought stepping into the shower.
Did I just saunter? She thought brushing her hair.
What did she mean, by more than you'll ever know? Don't worry I will know, I know ever secret and everything about every girl in Hogwarts. He thought stepping out and walking into his room.
Why was I being seductive? I don't even like him. Orion thought leaving for the great hall with her bag slung over her shoulder, yes you do, her thoughts battled, you had a dream about him for Merlin's sake, her other side said as she walked down some stone steps. She hit the side of her head as if to get rid of these thoughts. No use. It may not have even been Draco, and I do not like him, in that way…in any way, she had now entered the hall and was sitting at the table waiting for her friends to arrive, it was Draco. Stupid. And you do like him, why did you keep on staring at his you-know-what, she was drumming her fingers on the table impatiently, and then it dawned on her. She was falling for Draco the sex-god-hotty of Hogwarts.
"Your late," Snape's monotonous voice rang through the potions room.
"Sorry," Orion mumbled taking a seat next to Hermione.
"Turn to page 421," he said spinning around and writing something on the board.
"Why are you late?" Hermione whispered copying what Snape had written into her book. Orion did the same.
"Draco hogged the shower last night, so I had to have mine this morning, to top it all off I woke up late. I was having this weird dream… anyways you don't wanna hear about my strange dreams." Orion said staring at her bushy haired friend.
"Oh," Hermione replied not giving a second thought to the mention of her dream. Okay, then she really doesn't care. When people say 'oh don't worry' they don't mean it. Orion thought glumly resting her chin on her hand. I feel like I don't know my friends anymore. It's because I don't see them as much as I used to, now that I live with Draco. She shot a dirty look over in Draco's direction and he instantly shot one back, rolling his eyes at her. She poked her tongue out at him and turned away, not being able to bear the sight of him for much longer.
Maybe it was rude of me not to take an interest in her dream. Hermione thought scolding herself for her selfish ways. It's bad enough she doesn't even get to spend that much time with us, what with head duties and having to spend all her time with Draco. Poor thing. Hermione stared at her best friend and remembered the first day they met. It was so clear in her mind.
Fourth year September 2nd,
"Hi you must be the new girl, Oriya? Right?" Hermione asked sticking out her thin hand for the shy girl to grab hold of, she did so happily.
"Hi, yeah I'm new, my name is actually pronounced Orion," She said correcting her politely.
"Oh sorry, hi my name is Hermione Granger, you're in Gryffindor too, aren't you?" she asked.
"Hi Hermione, yeah looks like we have charms now," she said staring at her timetable.
"Yeah you're right," Hermione said as if she hadn't memorised the timetable over the summer, which she had, "do you wanna sit with me? My friends Harry and Ron were supposed to, but I'm sure they'll understand," She said smiling.
"Did you say Harry, is that Harry Potter," Orion asked in awe.
"Yeah it is, come on or we'll be late," Hermione said walking off in a particular direction. Orion walked after her.
"Thanks," she said running up to her side.
"For what?" Hermione asked her.
"For being nice to me," Orion said beaming.
"Thanks, for choosing me to be your first friend," Hermione said smiling to her. The two girls walked to their first class giggling.
"HAVE YOU COPIED WHAT IS ON THE BOARD!" Snape shouted from somewhere in the distance. This diverted Hermione's attention who was think of the first day her and Orion met.
"Ye… yes," the tentative voice of Alice Cunnings, could be heard replying. The Slytherins giggled, Snape returned to his desk, muttering something about too much talking in his class.
"Hey Hermione do you guys wanna have lunch by the lake?" You know to soak up the sun," Orion suggested packing up her things at the end of the lesson.
"Yeah, sure it is a nice day," Hermione said staring out of a large window in the potions classroom.
"Cool meet you guys at one then," Orion said slinging her bag over her shoulder.
"K, see ya!" Hermione called after her as she walked away and out of the classroom.
Orion walked slowly down the corridors of Hogwarts entering the heads common room.
"Hi Orion," she heard the voice of someone sitting by the fire.
"You're not supposed to be in here, only the heads are," she said firmly.
"Lucky I am a head then, otherwise I'd be in trouble," Draco teased standing up and stretching.
"Draco!" Orion said shocked she couldn't see him behind the tall back of one of the leather chairs.
"What?" he asked walking over to her.
"No, nothing I. I just… you called me Orion," she said stunned.
"Well that would be your name," he replied jokily.
"Yeah but you always call me rat," she muttered.
"Yeah well," he replied looking away from her.
Change of subject, Draco thought not being able to bear the awkward silence.
Please change the subject, Orion thought staring hard at Draco as if by her intense gaze he would do as she commanded.
"So anyways, you know… a lot of homework," he said pointing in the direction of his room, and starting to walk that way.
"Yeah me too," she lied walking into her room. Draco gave her one last glance. She's hot, Blaise was right; he thought closing his door and sliding down it, resting his hands on his knees.
God he is so fine, and I think he likes me, Orion thought closing her door and letting out a deep sigh, but we can never be together.
"Hi guys," Orion said joining her friends by the lake, carrying her tray in both hands.
"Oh, hey Orion," Harry said waving at her; she sat with them, amongst all the other students. Some were paddling their feet in the water, some chatting and others practising charms on each other, they all tucked into their lunches.
"So how was Draco today?" Hermione asked, no one noticed but she was rather a bit of a gossip.
"Oh same old," she lied, shielding her eyes from the sun.
"We can always sort him out," Ron said defensively, rolling up his sleeves. Orion rolled her eyes playfully.
"Nah, this is the last year then we'll never have to see him again," Orion supposed.
"Yeah, god I can't believe this is our last year, we might never see each other again," Hermione said sadly.
"Don't say that, we might work together or something, I'll keep in contact," Orion said.
"Me too," Ron followed her.
"You say that now, but when it comes to it you wont. I mean when we leave here," she said looking around her, "we'll go off and get jobs, maybe even in the muggle world," Ron looked shocked at her, "and before you know it your married with kids and you wont even have enough time in the day to sleep, let alone write or see each other,"
"God your cheerful," Harry said sarcastically to her.
"I'm just stating the truth," she said getting up.
"Where are you going?" Orion asked finishing her lunch.
"Library," Hermione called over her shoulder.
"She's a barrel of laughs," Ron said as he watched her leave.
"Yeah," Orion said thoughtfully, "maybe I should go talk to her, you know, see what's up,"
"Yeah, see ya later then," Harry said as she got up and walked in the direction of the library. Orion walked passed Hagrid's hut and the forbidden forest, in the direction of the castle. But she never got there.
"You!" she heard the voice of a man coming from the forest.
"Hello?" she asked tentatively searching for the source of the voice.
"NOW!" someone shouted, suddenly four people ran out of the darkness and grabbed her, covering her mouth with a gag, and handling her roughly. Orion squealed but no one heard her. The attackers dragged her into the forest and propped her up against a tree, one of them tied her to it. Orion was extremely confused, and exhausted from struggling so she didn't even try. She was very out numbered and they seemed to be male, so they had an advantage over her.
What the fuck? Where the hell am I? And what do these people want with me? She thought opening her eyes and seeing nothing but darkness. Shit they must have blindfolded me! She thought trying to bring her hands up to her face to remove it. Shit, they must have tied me up too! She struggled and heard the cold laughter of her kidnappers.
"There is no point, you'll only get tired," she heard one of them say, the rest of them laughed.
"Enough!" came the authoritive voice, of another man, she heard him step forward and he removed the blindfold. Orion blinked as it was removed and stared at her attackers. One was a sliver haired man; he was the one with the authoritive voice. The other was a woman with blonde hair, and a short, fat man with mousy coloured hair. Orion looked around for the last attacker and spotted Pansy Parkinson! What? Pansy? Why? She thought gawping at her, smirking maliciously at Orion.
"Hello Orion," she said coldly from beside the man with the silver hair.
"Oh, hi Pansy," she said sarcastically, "Nice day, isn't it?"
"Oh cut the shit," the woman said, "tell her why she is here," she said to the silvery haired man. The man towered over her.
"My name is Lucius Malfoy. I am Draco's father. This as you know is Pansy," he pointed to Pansy who was now grinning, "she is promised to Draco, next year they will be married," Orion was confused.
"Are you inviting me to the wedding?" Orion asked straining to remove the binds. The group laughed at her.
"No, no." the woman said through laughs.
"My plans with Draco must not be disrupted or else," Pansy said baring her teeth.
"My spies," Lucius said winking at Pansy, who smiled at him, "have spotted you and Draco getting closer. Especially since you are both heads you have a lot of time to spend together,"
"If you think I like Draco you are most defiantly mistaken," Orion said quite amused with his accusations.
"Don't lie!" Pansy shouted.
"You don't like Draco?" Lucius asked.
"No, I hate him, and he hates me," Orion said stunned with all of this.
"Well he's not wrong to hate you," the fat man said.
"Shut up fatty!" Orion spat at him. The fat man removed his wand from his pocket and held it to her neck.
"Got anything else to add?" the fat man teased.
"Yeah," Orion said bravely, "you're also the ugliest mother fucker I've ever seen," she smirked. The fat man stood up.
"Repensia!" he shouted. A green light shot out from the tip of it and hit Orion square in the chest, she screamed in pain, and the group laughed coldly.
"That will teach you to hold your tongue," the woman said. Orion's body was throbbing with pain and she squeezed her face up in pain.
"If you ever go near Draco, or so much as hold a conversation with him, that won't be the last curse ever put on you by us again," Lucius boomed.
"That…might be a… bit hard since we… have head business to… do… together," Orion said through gasps of pain.
"Well I suppose head business is fine, you have no choice in that. But anything outside of this and you may never have to worry about seeing hi again." The woman said.
"Fine," Orion said. The woman and Pansy left and the fat man disappeared with a quick spell, Lucius knelt down next to her.
"If you breath a word of this to anyone I will kill you, and I will make it look like an accident," Orion quivered with fear.
"I wont," she whispered helplessly.
"Good," and with that Lucius mounted a broom and disappeared out of sight, not before untying her, and leaving her alone.
Orion stood there, alone in the forest for a moment longer, pondering her predicament. 'Hang on, she thought, its not really a problem I'll just ignore him, and he doesn't' like me and vice versa' she told herself.
Orion rubbed her chest where the spell had hit her, and noticed a bruise appearing, with a quick concealing spell, that problem was solved.
Orion headed back up to the castle; unbeknown to her a pair of eyes had witnessed the whole attack.
Orion reached the heads dorm without any interruptions, and told the portrait the password.
"Aaaahhh!" Orion screamed, upon entering the common room. She had just walked in on Draco and Pansy 'doing it' on the couch, they were both stark naked, as Pansy released another moan.
"GET OUT!" Draco boomed.
"Gladly," Orion replied backing out of the portrait.
He has a nice bum, she thought and body her mind added.
As Orion hurried to the Gryffindor common room, her mind raced, she couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous that Pansy was there, rather than her. She quickly brushed these thoughts away as she bumped into Harry.
"Ouch!" Orion yelped as she was thrown backwards into a wall and her books lay in a heap on the floor.
"Oh shit, sorry Orion. Are you alright?" Harry asked helping her up and collecting her books for her.
"Yeah, I'm fine, sorry I wasn't looking where I was going," she said taking her books.
"Don't worry. Anyway, where were you heading?" Harry questioned.
"To the Gryffindor common room." She answered flicking her chestnut hair out of her ivy coloured eyes.
"And you?" she questioned grinning; knowing Harry was up to something.
"Well…um…" he grinned back.
"Hey, how about I don't ask then, I don't think I want to know anyway."
"Can I walk you to the Gryffindor tower?" Harry asked.
They began walking. Orion couldn't help it, but Harry was so easy to talk to, he was so comforting so loving and his warmth and love for her made it easy to tell him all her woes.
"…so it made me jealous, seeing them together, you know?" Orion finished.
Harry listened intently to his friend, yes he was upset that she liked Draco but he couldn't change that now, and he could see that she was sad, and felt vulnerable, as she thought about someone, she could never be with someone who she loved and who would never love her back…ever.
"Ugh!" Draco said pushing Pansy off of him in a rage, "get off," she fell to the ground in a confused manner.
"Wha…?" she asked scrambling to her feet and picking up her clothes.
"I'm just not in the mood right now," he said putting on his boxers.
"Was it that Orion bitch?" Pansy said rubbing his shoulders.
"Yeah," Draco replied plainly.
"Oh Draykie," Pansy said running her hands through his hair and massaging his head, "don't let her ruin our fun," she flopped next to him on the sofa.
"Huh?" Draco said staring at her; he clearly wasn't listening.
"Come on," she said pulling him in for a kiss. Draco bit down on her lip teasingly, "Ohh Draco," she moaned as his ran his hand up her thigh.
"Umm…" Orion said awkwardly staring at the ground, they hadn't heard her come in. Damm soft carpet, Draco thought pondering the possibilities of how she could have entered without them hearing. Draco and Pansy were now blocking the entrance to the staircase. They looked up at her from on the ground.
"What the fuck are you staring at," Pansy said still lying on top of Draco.
"Err… your kind of in the way," she said pointing to the staircase. Pansy and Draco both looked to the direction of where she was pointing.
"Ohh," Draco said embarrassed, "well night," he called as she stepped around them and up the stairs. As she climbed the stairs she could still hear them making love downstairs.
"Yuck," she said to herself as she ran away from the noise and into her room closing her door behind her and letting out a sigh of relief.
Draco woke the next morning to the sound of crashing and banging downstairs.
"Do I not get a moments peace around here?" he asked himself swinging his legs over the side of his bed and stretching. The noise began to grow in volume. Draco hurried out his room and down the stairs to see what all the commotion was. He hurried into the common room to find Orion and a rather ugly looking house elf having some sort of discussion. Orion spun round at the sound of his footsteps to find Draco with a raised eyebrow. The elf was running around the room picking up anything hard or valuable and hitting itself over the head with it. No matter how hard Orion tried to calm it, it wouldn't stop.
"No really, please… it wasn't your fault, it was all my fault really… I'll deal with it… please stop," she pleaded grabbing the house elf's next weapon, which so happened to be her hair straightners. Draco stood there rather amused by this scene watching as Orion pleaded in desperation with the elf.
"No, no… Loggy must punish Loggy for not following masters orders. Missy has no fault," he picked up Draco's cologne bottle. Draco hurried over and snatched the bottle out of Loggy's bony fist.
"I'll take that," Draco said placing it back on the table. Orion saw this as an opportunity to grab the elf. She knelt down so she was level with it.
"Look, stop hitting yourself, I'll handle it. Now run along," she said calmly and the house elf disappeared. Draco shook his head slightly.
"What?" she said standing up and looking around the untidy room.
"Oh, nothing," he said through giggles. Orion huffed and began cleaning up. Draco stopped her hand just as she went to pick up a broken vase off the floor; she looked up to meet his gaze.
"Clensio," he said and the whole room was gleaming.
"Thanks," she said standing up.
"Your welcome, I reckon that would've taken you the whole day to clean," he replied.
"Oh, um sorry about last night, it was bad the first time, but the second time was even worse," she said turning a light shade of pink.
"Uh, it don't matter," he said waving the thought off, "your probably not used to all this sex,"
"What's that crap supposed to mean," she said now slightly hurt from the last remark.
"Oh you know, this must be quite a new experience to you, you know, what with being a virgin and all,"
"I'm not an alien Malfoy, in fact I am a virgin no longer," Draco glared at her wide-eyed, "Last night I went and got me some, I must say you were right, sex is the ultimate," she lied enjoying his reaction.
"What with who?" he asked now very interested in what she had to say.
"I don't kiss and tell," she said walking away, "or should that be fuck and tell," she called over her shoulder.
