Chapter 37

"Oh my cognit!" exclaimed Heather. "I love this game."

Danielle gave Heather a weird look. "This isn't a game Heather. We're talking about attempted murder. If Jackie hadn't come in here, who knows what could have happened to Harry."

"No but it is a game. Haven't you guys ever played Clue before? My guess is Lucius Malfoy with the wand in the boys' dorms."

Nehal muttered, "That's a good guess."

Danielle rolled her eyes. "This is serious! We're going to keep an eye out on Harry at all times! And the other eye on Malfoy."

Heather said, "Well what if Harry and Malfoy are in different rooms? How are you supposed to keep an eye out for both of them?"

Neville said, "Hey I was just going to ask that same question."

Tommy looked jealous. He muttered, "Jackass."

"Guys cut it out!" said Heather. "Danie, why would Lucius Malfoy be sending death threats to Harry?"

Danielle said, "That's the thing Heather. No one knows why."

Later that night Jackie took Harry's invisibility cloak and went to visit Harry in the hospital wing. She was loosing sleep over this, and the event kept replaying over and over in her head, so she decided to talk to Harry about it. She took off the cloak and tip-toed towards his bed and gently shook him awake. "Harry, Harry."

Harry jerked up. "Huh? Whose there?"

"It's me Jackie."

"Oh hey…if you're here for the pills, Madame Pomfrey put them in the cupboard over there."

"Oh, okay thanks. Um…Harry, are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah!"

"I just…I know how scary death eaters can be and one attacking you must have been even scarier. I mean there's not a lot of spells you can use to protect yourself from them. ..Harry are you awake?"

Harry was snoring loudly.

"Great, just great he's asleep." Jackie then heard footsteps. She fetched the cloak and wrapped it around her.

The door opened but no one came in.

"That's odd." thought Jackie.

But just then a person appeared. It was Draco.

Jackie gulped. She thought, "Wow he is so hot. Wait, what is he doing here? Is he making sure that his father's plan worked out? Is he going to finish off the job right here and right now?" All of these questions were floating around in Jackie's mind.

Draco walked over to Harry's bed and smirked. "Stupid Potter." He mumbled.

"Jackie." muttered Harry.

Draco spun around.

Jackie thought, "Oh snap! He thinks I'm still here!"

"Are you there?" asked Harry

Draco looked really confused.

Jackie held her breath. Maybe she could quickly escape without him hearing her, except by accident her arm brushed Draco's arm.

Draco turned around. Jackie looked into his icy blue eyes. Constantly she found herself getting lost in them. She didn't realize where she was going because she was still staring at Draco as if he was a god of some sort. Well according to Jackie he was Draco Malfoy the sex god. (Oh yeah) Jackie bumped into the door head on. "Ouch, fuck."

Draco clenched his fists ready to attack or charge. He started walking towards where he heard the voice. He then stopped because he bumped into something or someone.

Jackie turned around and saw Draco. She gulped. She had to escape as soon as possible. Jackie started walking backwards but unfortunately she tripped over a garbage can and fell over dumping out its entire well…garbage.

Draco snatched the cloak and was stunned at what he saw. Luckily none of the other students who were sleeping in the hospital wing heard it. "Jackie?"

Jackie shrugged off a banana peel that was on her shoulder. "Eww!" She then looked up and saw Draco holding the cloak. "How y'all doing?"

"What are you doing here?" asked Draco putting out his hand, pulling Jackie up.

"Well…I…um…um…wait a minute what are you doing here?"

"I was…sleepwalking…"

"You sleepwalk?"

"Yeah, all the Malfoy's do. It all started out with my great-grandfather…"

"You know I don't really need to know your family history right now. So like your still like kind of asleep right?"

"Yeah kind of."

"So you're still dreaming?"

"Yes…"

"Well then in that case. Draco this is a dream. I am just a figure in your dream. What your seeing now is part of the dream."

"Are you sure? It seems so real."

"I know. But it's not. Now Draco I have to go to…somebody else's dream now so…goodbye!"

"Wait!" said Draco taking hold of Jackie's wrist.

"Yes?"

"You never answered my question."

"You never asked me a question?"

"Yes I did. Why are you down here? Why does this dream take place in a bloody hospital wing?"

"Well…um…it…um…takes place here because….you know it just does. You can't really tell where your dreams are going to be, what there about or what they mean in particular."

"What do you think this dream means?" Draco took hold of Jackie's hands.

Jackie gulped. "It means…that…that…" Jackie couldn't do this much longer. "That…I have to go."

"Oh. Well here's your cloak back."

"Thanks. Bye!" For once in her life, Jackie was glad to be away from Draco. For a minute she could have sworn that Draco was going to kiss her, not that she didn't want that to happen but she really wanted to move on.

Meanwhile Heather was ready for her prank. She had been busy preparing for it for weeks now. And now she was ready. Except for one tiny small detail. Heather thought, "Where is that damn invisibility cloak?"

Jackie then came into the girls' dorms. "Heather why aren't you sleeping?"

"Why aren't you sleeping?" asked Heather

"Urgh! Enough with the questions. I think I'm getting a headache."

"Okay but can I have the cloak?"

"Yeah sure." Jackie threw the cloak to Heather. "I'm gonna go to bed now. My head seriously hurts."

Heather wrapped the cloak around herself and headed towards the lake. She smiled. Everything was going great. Draco was swimming lengths in the lake that he normally does at this time of night. Heather hid Draco's clothes. (He is wearing a bathing suit right now) She hid them behind a bush. Heather took off her clothes that were covering her bathing suit. She was wearing a black two piece, but the top was strapless. In addition, she put a green bikini top over the black strapless one. Heather then pretended to go into the water and not see Draco.

Draco was watching Heather with the corner of his eyes. Heather knew he was watching so she took off her green bikini top and knelt down in the water so it looked like she was topless.

"Reid?" called Draco

Heather spun around and covered her chest. "Omg I didn't even notice you. What are you doing here?"

"I'm swimming. Obviously your not." Draco smirked.

Heather rolled her eyes. "I'm just skinny-dipping! Have you ever gone skinny-dipping before?"

"Yeah! Are you kidding me?"

Heather swam over to Draco. "Draco Malfoy I command you to take off your swimwear!"

"Feisty one aren't you?"

Heather smiled in return. "Draco Malfoy I dare you to take it off."

"No way!"

Heather swam closer to Draco. "Do you have the guts Malfoy? Do you have the guts?"

"Of course I do."

"Well then do it! Come on I know you want to."

"Reid are you drunk again?"

"No silly! Why would you think that?"

"Well you're acting really strange."

"Strange is my middle name."

"I bet it is." Draco said sarcastically.

"Actually it's Jean!"

"Right…"

"So Malfoy do you have the guts?"

"Well, I…"

"If you don't do it the whole school's going to eventually find out your big secret."

"What secret?"

"Amanda's been telling everybody about how bad you are in bed. I'm assuming she's correct?"

"Alright I'll do it!" Draco took off his swim trunks and held them up for Heather to see. "You happy now?"

"Very." Heather inched closer to Draco. "So I guess the rumors are true; Mr. Size 14."

"Okay, whoa not so close Reid. You can look but you can't touch."

"Like I'd want too." She snatched Draco's swim trunks from his hand and swam to shore.

That's when Draco noticed that she wasn't topless. "Hey you tricked me!"

Heather laughed.

"Hey come back here! I need those!"

"Sorry Malfoy no can do. Later!" Heather grabbed her clothes and towel. She dried herself off quickly and ran away leaving a naked Malfoy behind.

The next day the whole school found out about the prank. People started congratulating Heather on the job well done. This caused Draco to not show up for classes because he was so embarrassed. He started sending letters to his father demanding that he be transferred to Durmstrang. All the Slytherin students were furious at the Gryffindors.

Meanwhile, Heather was in the girls' dorms petting Timmy and Crookshanks when Jackie slammed the door behind her. "Something wrong?"

Jackie said, "Actually now that you mention it, something is wrong."

"What?"

"Why did you steal Draco's clothes? That was really mean of you. It's not like he's done anything to you before!"

"Well ever since you guys broke up he's been such an asshole. But why are you taking out all your anger on me? Nehal and Danielle did it too! Even you did it!"

"Yeah…but that's not the point!"

"Well then what's the point?"

"The point is that…omg Crookshanks is humping Timmy!"

Heather looked at the two cats. "There just making love. Is something wrong with that as well?"

"No, just why would they do it on front of us?"

"I don't know."

Jackie sighed and sat down beside Heather. "I'm sorry that I yelled at you. It's just there's so much going on right now. I mean we have exams coming up; Quidditch practices every night, Harry getting attacked by a death eater and now this prank war! Way too much is happening right now. I just don't think I can deal with this. Excuse me; I have to um…go somewhere."

Heather sat in silence for awhile but then remembered the pills. "Jaxs wait!" Heather met up with Jackie in the common room. "Don't even think about taking those pills!"

"Shh!" hissed Jackie. "We're not talking about it in public! I have to go now." And with that Jackie left the common room.

Tommy came up to Heather. "Hey Heather."

Heather said, "Oh hey."

"Is there something going on between you and Jackie?"

"Omg Jackie and I are not lesbians! I thought we already established that! Or are you too much of a thick head to understand?"

"No I mean…why are you guys fighting?"

"What are you talking about Tommy, we're not fighting!"

"Well that's what it looked like!"

"Well maybe you should mind your own beeswax!"

"Well maybe you should break up with Neville so we can be together."

Heather looked away from Tommy.

Tommy sighed, "I'm tired of waiting Heather. I know it's hard but the longer you wait the worse your going to feel and the harder it will be to do it."

"I know. You've been really patient Tommy. But don't worry it's on my to-do list. Number 3 baby!"

"What else do you have to do?"

"I have to buy the Franz Ferdinand CD and buy my dad a birthday present."

"Well your dad's not here and you can't use electronics here!"

Heather then thought of having a threesome with Wensleygale and Oliver. "Mm…"

"What?" asked Tommy

"I think I'll go follow Jackie without her knowing."

Heather went out of the common room. She wondered how Draco could let a homicidal maniac tell him who he should date. Jackie and Draco seemed so perfect when she had stalked them at the end of last year. She then saw Neville. "Hey Neville! What's up?"

Neville was twitching and sitting in a corner. "Nothing much."

"I'm so excited for doing the vampire homework!" Heather gave Tommy a high five.

Neville sighed and looked away. "I have to say something but it's so hard."

"Tell me Neville. I'm here for you."

"I don't trust you anymore! You're always off with Tommy…or Wensleygale!"

"I don't get it…" said Heather confused. Why did Neville have a problem with Wensleygale?

"I'm breaking up with you!"

Heather was shocked. But she then started laughing. "OMG! I…never expected that!"

"Whatever. You think it's funny. I've gotta go."

"Neville wait!"

"Oh, and Heather? It's not me. It's you!" (LOL)

"Neville!" Heather yelled his name while he was running away from her. "This isn't right! I'm supposed to dump you, not you dump me!" Heather started to run after Neville. A lot of first years were kind of confused. But most of the school knew about Heather and Neville's relationship.

Meanwhile, Danielle and Nehal were walking down the corridors, their arms linked together as they chatted away and gossiped in a friendly manner. Danielle divulged all the interesting information she held over her fellow peers in an excited manner, briefly pausing now and again in their slow stroll when something shocking came up and surprised Nehal into halting.

"Seriously?" Nehal asked, looking at Danielle with wide eyes.

"Seriously. I encountered his brief little rendezvous with Cho Chang with my very own beautiful hazel eyes, and I'm telling you Nehal it's not a sight you wanna see so early on a Monday morning. That boy is not as fit under those clothes as he'd have us all believe. I have no clue why Meghan stays with that boy. She could do so much better." Danielle stated in a knowing tone.

"Wow they always seemed like such a perfect couple. I can't believe he cheats on her! That's so sad. I wonder what her friends Amanda and Casey feel about this." Nehal then remembered the time Dean cheated on her with Lavender. She was pretty upset, but she got over it.

However Danielle didn't sense the connection and continued with the gossip. "Oh please, Meghan is a Slytherin. She is anything but sweet. She's just as bad as he." Danielle informed with a smile as she looked over at Nehal who was looking back at her questioningly

"Go on." urged Nehal

"Every Thursday after cheerleading practice she meets up with Theodore Nott. . ."

"Omg him? He's so ugly!"

"Yeah I know, so anyway she meets up with Theodore in Flich's closet after cheerleading to make out . . .among other things." Danielle smirked at Nehal.

"What are you thinking?" Nehal questioned

"We should so bust them right now!" Danielle declared with a beaming smile.

"How do you even know they'd even be together? It's Monday afternoon and she's probably off with her oh so faithful boyfriend."

Danielle slowly shook her head from side to side in a knowing manner. "Meghan told this other Slytherin cheerleader Theresa who told Ian who told me that she's pulling a sickie on 'hanging out' with her boyfriend Steven who's a year younger then us by the way. So that today she can sneak off to Flich's room and get her fix."

Nehal laughed. "Sure why not, let's bust them!"

"Now you're talking!"

Just then Tommy came running up to the two girls. "Hey have you guys seen Heather anywhere?"

"Uh no why?" asked Nehal

"Oh well she broke up with Neville so I just wanted to see if she was okay or not."

"Omg Danielle I can't believe you didn't find out about this gossip! Tsk! Tsk! Well Tommy if we see her, we'll let you know."

"Okay thank you."

"No problem. Come on Danielle let's go bust Meghan and Theodore."

Meanwhile Jackie noticed that there was no Tylenol left. She figured Madame Pomfrey stole them for herself or Luna had used up the rest.

She walked back to the Gryffindor common room in defeat.

Tommy came running back up towards Jackie. "Hey, have you seen Heather?"

Jackie replied, "Um…well I was just talking to her like 15 minutes ago. So…I don't know, sorry."

"I can't seem to find her!"

"Maybe you should make one of those lost signs that people use when they can't find their dogs." suggested Jackie, trying to help Tommy.

Tommy gave Jackie a weird look.

"I'm just saying."

"Yeah well Neville and Heather have officially split up."

"Really? You must be pleased to hear that."

"Yeah I am pleased." Tommy told the rest of the story to Jackie.

Meanwhile, Heather was walking by herself in the courtyard. Jackie saw her from the window. "Hey Tommy I gotta go, but I'll talk to you later." Jackie ran out to see Heather. "Hey!"

Heather spun around and let Jackie catch up with her.

"Tommy told me about Neville. I was afraid something like this might happen."

Heather replied, "Ten points for Jackie."

"How's he doing?"

"Who knows? I don't think he'll ever speak to me again. I know I wouldn't."

A/N: Aww poor Heather. Anyways please review! The next chapter is a long one. It's about the Quidditch cup!
