Blonde gets Evil
"Where am I?" Draco muttered. He looked around and noticed he was in a room similar to his, but with red and gold hangings. Ugh, Gryffindor colors. Oh that's right; he slept in Hermione's room last night.
Hermione turned over but her eyes were still closed. She blinked them open, focusing the room into view. Noticing Draco, she leapt in surprise. She swiveled her head from side to side then laid down again, breathing out a sigh.
"Morning sleeping beauty," Draco said soothingly.
"Out," she muttered and pointed to the door. Draco picked himself up and dragged himself to the door. Women… he thought vaguely. He went through the connecting bathroom door and passed into his room, grabbing robes and changing.
He didn't bother waiting for Hermione this morning, but instead decided to seek out Blaise. When he first entered the Great Hall, people turned around and looked at him. Whispers followed him until he sat down next to Blaise at the Slytherin Table. Blaise gave him an odd look but continued eating. Most of his housemates ignored him completely.
Pansy Parkinson was marching up the isle to Draco's seat. He had figured people would have known how Pansy had cornered him, and believed this to be the reason of everyone's whisperings. Pansy, however, brought to light a new idea.
"How could you, you little…traitor!" she gasped at him.
"What are you babbling on about Parkinson?" he asked lazily. Blaise snorted into his goblet.
"You and Granger. Dating? Don't tell me this is news to you, everyone knows Draco," she said in a girly voice. Draco shot a look at the Gryffindor table and saw that Parvati and Lavender were staring at him, wide eyed with their hands over their mouths. They mouthed the word oops to Draco. Draco raised a fist and slammed it onto the Slytherin table. Everyone stopped talking immediately and looked around at Draco.
"What is all this?" he said in an official-like voice.
"You and Granger are dating!" she shrieked. There was no point denying it; if Parvati and Lavender had told everyone then they knew the truth. But this aroused new problems. If Pansy wrote to his father he would be in a lot of trouble. Pansy didn't know how his father had laid out his future, so she may not think of it. He decided to play it cool.
"So?" he said coolly. Pansy looked furious; she had probably been hoping the rumors weren't true. The whispering got louder and louder until the Great Hall doors slammed open, revealing Hermione. The Hall suddenly became quiet.
"Granger!" Pansy barked. Hermione swiveled around to see Pansy's fist collide with the side of her head. Draco was up in an instant and prying Pansy off of a whimpering Hermione.
"Pansy, you keep your hands off my girlfriend you little slut!" he screamed and whipped his wand out of his pocket. He about to curse her head off when a curt voice behind him said, "Drop that wand Mr. Malfoy, or you'll be expelled also."
Professor McGonagall was behind him. He had forgotten that they were in the Great Hall filled with teachers. He was also Head Boy, he had forgotten.
"Expelled professor?" Pansy said in a weak little voice. Draco's mood turned to pure glee.
"Oh yes Ms. Parkinson. You have a bad record; I will be seeing professor Snape about you. Meanwhile, I think Mr. Malfoy will take care of your punishment."
Draco smirked broadly. Hermione was in a right state and Draco wanted to take her to the hospital wing. The Slytherins watched angrily to see how many points Draco would take off his own house. "Note that 20 points will be taken off Slytherin and if Pansy doesn't get expelled she will have detention for the rest of the year," he said, more to his house than to Pansy.
"Draco…" she said weakly.
"Don't talk to me you whore, I don't want to ever speak to you again. Stay away from me and Hermione," he snapped at her and he helped Hermione up. He helped her through the halls to get to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey didn't ask too many questions; Draco just told her that the teachers were handling it. She wanted to keep Hermione the whole day, but she wanted to leave. She didn't want to miss classes.
"Draco this complicated things," she said as they made their way to Charms. They were going to be late but they were Head Boy and Girl so the teachers wouldn't care.
"I told you, I will handle it."
"Not your housemates, Draco, your father," she said like it was obvious.
"We'll talk later," he said shortly as they entered the Charms room amid cheers from the Gryffindors that were happy to see Hermione happy. Ron wasn't clapping and neither were the Slytherins that managed to get into this advanced class. Some of the girls looked sulky.
The Charms class started. Draco felt no need to pay attention and instead found Hermione's foot and started playing footsie with her. She pushed his foot away and growled, "Not now I'm trying to pay attention Draco."
Draco sighed and looked blankly at the board behind Professor Flitwick. He used his wand to hover his quill in midair and let it zoom around the room and hit the Professor in the back of the head. Harry, who had saw what had happened, sniggered as Professor Flitwick turned around. Harry aimed another one at his head and bounced off again. He pretended to be copying notes like everyone else and Draco followed. Hermione kicked him.
"What?" he whispered.
"You shouldn't have done that, you could have got in trouble!" she whispered back urgently.
"So what, lighten up Hermione, I don't care if I get detention."
"Fine," she said and began copying down notes again. At the end of the class they were assigned a 5 foot long essay on the notes they had taken in class and it was perhaps entirely all Draco and Harry's fault.
Draco followed Harry and Ron out of the room with Hermione in tail. "Nice one Potter!" he said while slapping Harry high five. Ron laughed and Hermione looked sulky. The Slytherins and Gryffindors laughed as they headed back to Draco and Hermione's common room. They all had break until lunch and then one class and then they were done for the rest of the day. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco entered the Heads' common room.
Harry and Ron looked around nervously and finally collapsed into the couch. It was a bit cold in the room and Draco lit the fireplace. He sat in his armchair and Hermione settled himself in is lap with a smug look on her face. Ron looked away but Harry smiled at Draco.
Draco began talking about quidditch and Ro and Harry eagerly discussed with him all sorts of things. Draco told them all about games he'd been to see and they all contributed to the conversation about the World Cup.
"Yeah, Fred and George reckoned Krum would catch the snitch but Ireland would win. Dunno how they knew really…"Ron explained to Draco. Draco glanced at his watch and jumped up, knocking Hermione to the ground. He helped her up and kissed her on the cheek. "Sorry 'Mione," he said quickly and grabbed his bag.
"We're 5 minutes late for class, Snape'll kill you guys," he said and ran to the portrait door which flew open right before him.
Lucius Malfoy strode into the room, his wand in front of him and his eyes gleaming maliciously. He sidestepped Draco and looked first at Ron, then Harry and finally rested on Hermione. "Well, well ,well, look at what we have here. Weasley, Potter and Granger. How…nice," he said in a deeply evil voice. He smirked at Draco and quickly stunned Harry and Ron. He turned on Hermione and raised his wand, but Draco was too quick for him. He grabbed his wrist and twisted it painfully. His father rounded on him.
"Something wrong Draco?" he asked.
"Don't you touch her," he snarled. "Get out of here, what if they catch you?"
"You care not if they catch me. Actually, you prefer it, don't you Draco?" he said crisply.
Draco glared at him maliciously with hatred. He drew his wand slowly from his pocket. His father didn't notice.
"Ah, using Occlumency against me are you boy? Who taught you that, Severus? Well he's done well, I must admit. What are you hiding son?" he said in a dangerous voice.
"I am hiding nothing. I have-I have no reason to hide anything from you. Why are you here?"
"I received a very odd letter from Ms. Parkinson this morning. Concerning you and this," he said pointing to Hermione, "Mudblood."
"Don't you dare call her that!" Draco shouted and raised his wand. But before he could curse his father to hell and back, Lucius was blasted into the opposite wall. Draco Malfoy had, for the first time, lost control and turned his anger into magic. His father lifted himself gingerly from the ground, his wand aloft.
His face was forced into somewhat of a grimace, his eyes dangerously sharp and his muscles tense. "You're making a mistake Draco, and you would do best to fix it. Chuck this girl away or you will deal with me!" he said quickly, as Harry feebly stirred. "You will pay the price for your action, the Dark Lord will not be pleased!"
"I don't care about Him! You promised me to him, I said nothing. I'm not going to live your tyranny any longer!" Draco shouted across the room and sent a hex at his father.
"Punishment is sweet Draco. Crucio!" he bellowed and Draco began to twitch and shriek. The pain would have been worse, perhaps, if this had not happened to him before. He concentrated his mind and forced off the curse. His father staggered back. "My only son…Fool!" he said while taking a glass potion bottle out of his pocket.
Harry Potter blinked his eyes open and jumped to his feet. Lucius quickly downed the potion and was gone from sight. An invisibility potion. The portrait door slammed open and then shut. Harry was awaking Ron. Draco was panting on the ground still and Hermione was sobbing hysterically.
Draco staggered up to try to get to Hermione. He stumbled and fell into blackness.
