The rich and the Poor
Chapter 4
by Wildfire
Draco wakes up the next day, he stretches out and yawns. As he sits up, his eyes shoot open as he sees Pansy sprawled over the end of the bed in a skimpy nightgown. She smiles sweetly at him.
"Morning Draco.. Sleep well?"
After he got over the fact that she was in HIS bed he glares. "Get out of my bed Pansy"
She runs a hand up his leg slowly "why won't you be with me I'm a pretty girl I know that"
He grabs her hand roughly and twists it "don't Touch me! You're an ugly hore, and I want NOTHING to do with you!"
She whimpers as her wrist is twisted.
He drops it and settles back to his bed "get the hell out of my room" He keeps his back to her tell he hears the door shut. He sits up and sighs; he didn't know why the girl got on his nerves so much she was just so annoying. He wouldn't push her away in front of others because it would look bad on him too, plus the girlfriend look always was a good.
Once dressed and looking his sexy self he heads down to the main hall he sits down and smirks as Pansy avoids looking at him at all costs. He helps himself to an egg and a peace of toast than leans back looking around. He sneers, as he looks at the other tables all the students talking such racket. He rubs his face and stands up leaving the main hall. He walks down the halls heading to the dorms. He starts up the stairs when his arm is grabbed and he's yanked down and pushed against the wall. He stares up and sees his new DADA's teacher.
The man smiles and runs a finger down Draco's cheek. "You must be careful.. You almost fell there"
Draco yanks out of the man's grip. "You pulled me down" he sneers stepping further away.
The Professor only steps closer to him, "You are confused why would I pull You down the stairs?"
"That's what I'm wondering Professor!" He purposely emphasized the fact that he was a professor.
The man's smile falters for a second than it was back. "I think maybe a detention would do you good."
"A what? FOR what?"
"For talking back to me." the man turns and strolls off "see you tonight, Draco"
Draco was positively seething, how DARE he do that? He hadn't done anything! Today was NOT his day. He growls as he hears the warning bell great now he was going to be late for class. Will at least it was Potions. He hurries down the halls trying to get there before the last bell.
The final bell rings just as he reaches for the door. He growls as he pulls the door open. Before he can fully open the door, though, he's run smack into. Draco topples to the ground, as does the large weight of another body. His eyes widen and grunts in pain. He tries to push the other body off but finds his own right wrist was painfully trapped under his and the other boys body.
"Ger off!" He hiss's eyes narrow and dangerous.
The other boy starts to get up muttering apologies left and right, Longbottom. The boy freezes as he sees whom he landed on. His eyes get wide and frightened.
"GET OFF!" Draco yells. His wrist was really starting to hurt. Draco tries to push the boy off but with only one wrist and in the awkward position it didn't to much good, to get the boy off who seemed to have gone into shock or something.
A second later the weight was yanked off rather quickly. Snape stood above Draco holding Longbottom up by his collar.
"Draco?" HE sneers down obviously waiting for him to get up.
Draco rolls over reliving the eight from his wrist. Using his left wrist to pull himself up.
Snape pushes the cubby boy into the calls room "Go sit down, Detention and twenty points from Gryffindor!" He ignores the other Gryffindor's protests as he helps up his 'prize' student.
"I'm fine professor, though I Could use a shower now." He brushes himself off, and starts into the classroom head held high.
Snape followed him in. Draco smirks as all the Gryffindor's glare at him.
Snape went to the front. "Today we're doing an easy potion, with dangerous effects if done improperly. The directions are on the bored do it correctly because I Won't tell you who drinks until the end."
Draco stares at the bored and grabs a radish to cut he goes to grab the knife and immediately drops it as a shooting pain traveled up his right wrist. He grabs his wrist and looks around to see if anyone saw. He sighs seeing that no one was watching him. Draco turns back to his work and jumps as a pale face man stares at him.
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Malfoy?" The young boy stares at his professor and shakes his head "Are you sure? You have Qudditch soon.. We don't want our seeker to lose over something so petty."
"I'm fine sir" Draco says boldly, as everyone was now watching.
Snape looks at the rest of the class" Get back to work this isn't a Performance! Ten points from Gryffindor for gawking!"
Draco smirks at the horrified gasps and angry protests. Snape looked ready to kill them all but instead turns on Draco. He watches his professor he knew the man had done that just to make him feel better. Snape wasn't a bad man he just did things differently than others.
"Mr. Malfoy please go see Madame Pomfree" Snape strolls away to the Gryffindor side to pester them about their potions.
The blond boy smiles to himself, once away from the others eyes. HE heads up the stairs staring at his wrist. He tired to close it and found he couldn't, Longbottom was going to pay dearly for this.
"Shouldn't you be in class?" Professor Crunket stood leaning against a wall watching him.
"ARE you Following me?!" Draco glares at him he was in no mood to talk to THIS idiot teacher.
The older man pushes off the wall and goes toward him. "I wouldn't talk in such a way to your teacher" His eyes were narrow and lips curled back.
Draco backs up; this man could be as frightening as his father! (and that was a talent) His back hits the brick wall stopping him from going any further.
The man traps Draco by putting his hands on either side of Draco's shoulders. He leans forward so there were only a few inches apart. Draco could feel the man's breath on his face. He keeps his face still and hard he would not back down to this man.
"Now say your sorry." The Professor's sneer deepens.
Draco was actually debating weather he should acknowledge the teacher with a snide comment or if he should just push past him.
He decided for the alternative and uses his left wrist to push the man back and moves past "Screw you!"
Crunket grabs shoulder and slams him to the wall "THAT was not an appropriate answer!" He looks down at Draco's wrist. He had been favoring it. He grabs it and squeezes.
Draco bits his lip to stop from crying out. "Sorry"
Crunket smiles at Draco, whom was obviously trying not to show any pain. He tightens his grip and Draco lets out a small whimper. "I can't quite hear you.."
Draco glares at him "I'm sorry" he says more forcefully with greeted teeth.
The grip only tightens though and twisted making Draco go to one knee, a cry of pain escaping his lips again.
"I don't think you meant that, say it again"
His arm was going to break, he knew it, was going to, it was going to break! "I'm sorry!" he yells trying to get his voice calm and even.
Crunket smirks "Are-" he freezes as he hears footsteps he lets go and steps back. "I look forward to our detention" He hurries off down the hall. Draco watches as he rounds the corner just as Flich comes up.
"Mr. Malfoy... why aren't you in class?" The mans gruff voice carries down the hall. h\He was never mean to Draco, after all he was a Slytherin, and Snape was the head of the house.
"I was going to see Mmd. Pomfree" Draco straitens his cloths "But I'm going to go back to class instead" he turns and walks back to the Dungeons.
He steps into the classroom, everyone turns and looks at him.
"Mr. Malfoy I wasn't expecting you back.." Snapes eyes look to Draco's wrist trying to sum him up.
"I didn't go" he stated firmly and continues before his professor could get a word out. "A word?" he walks into Snape's office. It wasn't a question.
Snape raises an eyebrow at him but follows nonetheless. Draco wasn't one to stay in pain if it could be avoided he also didn't like to make a sense... will not when it was directly about him. What worried Snape was he was now doing both. "Mr. Malfoy?" He closes the door tightly.
Draco whips out his wand, and does a silence spell. Snapes eyes narrow, but before he could comment Draco turns on him "Give me detention!"
"Come again?"
"I want a detention can you not grant me this? Only for tonight"
"May ask of why you want this?" He says slowly with a slight sneer he could tell his student was quit upset though he was trying desperately to hide it.
"I just want it! I'll go punch Potter if you want!" Draco's voice had grown quite.
"No, I don't think that would accomplish anything. I will not do anything tell you explain to me why you want this."
Draco watches his Professor sit down. He had been stupid to think the man would protect him. Why would any one protect a Malfoy? They didn't need it after all…
"Forget it" Malfoy goes to leave; he gasps in pain as his wrist is grabbed.
Snape looks does at the red wrist there were nail marks and a faint look of bruising where fingers would be. "Who are you trying to get out of seeing tonight?"
Draco couldn't help but growl "Crunket gave me detention tonight"
The man lets Draco go. "I'll send Flinch down to make sure the punishment fits the crime"
Draco tires to hide his relief that flooded him. He nodes a bit and goes to leave.
"Oh and Draco?"
The blond boy looks up at his teacher.
"Go back down to Mmd. Pomfree's you shouldn't be doing Detention with a bad wrist."
Draco actually smiles he didn't know what he'd do if Snape weren't in this school. He replaces the smile with the sneer and walks out. Snape follows after him.
Draco walks back toward the door and freezes for a second as he caught Potters eyes. What was he staring at? The blond growls at himself and leaves. What was he thinking? EVERYONE was staring at him. Not just bloody Potter
**
Later that night Draco arrives at Professor Crunket's room. He knocks lightly and goes in. His eyes widen as he sees the Weasel cleaning desks. He looks up and smirks.
"Professor said you'd be coming grab a rag and wash the cages"
"Who are you to boss me?! Where's the Professor?" he sneers at the filthy red head.
"Professor Crunket took me on as his apprentice, help me learn the spells quicker. So he told me to wait for you and tell you what to do and make sure you puny ass did it."
Draco stared at him, he was suppose to take orders from… Weasly? He growls and grabs the washcloth and starts scrubbing the cages muttering under his breath.
An hour later Draco throws the rag down. "Done"
Weasly looks up from the desk where he was doing his homework. He was smiling like an idiot. Oh how Draco wanted to curse that smirk off Weasly's face.
"They don't look any cleaner.. Do it again." He looks hack down at his books.
Draco's eyes widen as he realizes Wesley was serious "These are spotless! You can't tell me to do it again!" Draco had his fists clenched.
The red head looks at him sharply "I'm in charge! You aren't done tell I say so!"
Draco raises an eyebrow at him, and they say Slytherin's were power hungry? He grabs the rag again swearing to himself that Wesley would pay for this unjust behavior!
