Chapter 4
Draco woke that morning to a faint tapping sound at his window. He looked over to see an owl with a letter waiting for him. He rose from bed and strolled to the window letting the owl in. It dropped the letter and flew away.
He opened the letter knowing who it was from. As he read he frowned, ripped the letter apart and threw it on the bed. He got dressed and went downstairs.
There he found Granger reading the Daily Prophet. His entrance startled her and she jumped. "Find anything interesting to read in there?"
She glared up at him,"Why would you care Draco?All you Malfoy's just care about yourselves!"
About to unleash his temper on her he thought about his father's letter and decided to drop it."Whatever Mudblood." He walked out of the room leaving her speechless.
He went to the Great Hall to get some breakfast and brought it back to the common room. Luckily, Granger wasn't there."She's probably off with Potty and Weasel,"he said sitting down to eat.
"What was that Malfoy?"Granger walked into the common room from her bedroom."Nothing of your business!" Then he noticed her clothes for the day.She was wearing a short red skirt about four inches above the knee, her shirt was a flimsy cloth almost see-through cut low to show a bit
of cleavage.
"I use to think you were as flat as a board Granger, I see I was mistaken,"he said smiling, his eyes twinkling as her face turned red. She grabbed her school robe and ran out the door muttering profanities at him. He loved getting under her skin and how he'd wish to touch it.
Gasping at his last thought he nearly spit out his orange juice."What am I doing thinking about touching a muggle?" He thought outloud.
"What was that son?" Malfoy knocked over his tray. His fathers head appeared in the fire. "I...it was...nothing sir."He recollected himself and picked up his tray.
"Did you get my letter?"
"Yes sir."
"Good, now see to it you are not caught. The spell must be done by midnight on the next full moon."
"But that's only a week away! I'll never be able to translate the spell in time!"
The fire grew and glowed brighter."Do you dare talk back to me boy! I said get it done or else you know the consequences of your actions!"
Draco winced at the thought. He remembered the last time he had disobeyed his father. He was in the hospital for two weeks in and out of consciousness."Yes sir I will do as you say."
The fire turned normal and Lucius' head disappeared. Malfoy sighed knowing that had been a close one. He started to think how he would get the spell ready in time. Then it hit him and his smile grew from ear to ear. A plan had formed in his head.
