Chapter Two – Secrets, Deception and Running Emotions
The next morning Draco awoke to find his younger brother staring at him.
"You talk in your sleep…" Levan stated
"No I don't" Draco replied rubbing away sleep from his eyes.
"Uh Huh" Levan said sarcastically "You were talking about Pansy last time well I think it was Pansy you were talking about, but this time you were talking or even dreaming about 'HERMIONE' you said that you wouldn't mind removing her…"
Before Levan could continue, Draco covered his mouth and started to tickle him in his ribs to prevent him from continuing.
"You are very sexually frustrated," Levan stated through laughter.
"So what if I am? I'm a seventeen-year-old guy! Of course guys think that sort of stuff when they get older. You will too soon enough!" Draco challenged.
"Yeah, okay but HERMIONE GRANGER Draco? The mudblood?"
"Don't call her that. Remember? Last night?"
"Yeah you promised to tell me what happened yesterday!"
"Well as you know I wasn't here, a friend of mine and myself" Draco started with a smile, "went for dinner outside of the school."
"WHAT!" Levan exclaimed "How'd you get out?"
"I can't tell you that one little bro" Draco said sniggering "anyway we went to dinner and well I got to know her a lot better and…"
"Is the girl you're talking about…" Levan started, when he was interrupted.
"Yes the girl is Hermione, anyway," Draco said sarcastically. "We fell asleep on the lounge in front of the fire and then we spent the whole day together. Then to top it all off we got out of trouble together. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get out of trouble and to get into Gryffindor common room."
"Into Gryffindor…" Levan said finally realising what his brother had just said. "What did you do in Gryffindor?" He questioned.
Draco stood and turned to make his bed whilst still talking to Levan indirectly "well, ah… I'll answer that one when you mature a bit more…" Draco turned only to find his brother shuffling to the door mumbling under his breath. Levan stopped at Draco's door turned his head to the side slightly and said,
"You know Draco, I think you've gone off your rocker!" and with that Levan left the room in search of Laura. Once he had gotten down the stairs from the boys dormitory he found Laura sitting on the black leathered lounge speaking to Pansy.
"There you are sleepy head" Laura said as she saw Levan enter the common room. "What have you been doing?" she questioned whilst bidding Pansy farewell.
"Boy do I have things to tell you!" Levan exclaimed whilst exiting the Slytherin common room. Both Laura and Levan made their way to the greenhouses just outside of the castle, Levan stopped pulled Laura in close to him and passionately kissed her, behind one of the empty classrooms.
"What… did… you… want… to tell… me?" Laura asked kissing Levan between each word.
"Some gossip on my brother and Hermione Granger" Levan started whilst holding Laura around her waist as her head rested on his chest.
"Ohhh… Please do tell" Laura said curiously without moving from the comfortable position she was in.
"Well apparently they both accidentally hooked up outside of school and now Draco is obviously contemplating whether he should be with Pansy or Granger..."
"How'd they get out of Hogwarts?" Laura queried.
"No idea" Levan stated.
"I think that Draco will stay with Pansy, he trusted and loved her enough to tell her his secret and unfortunate events."
"I won't count on him staying with Pansy. From what he was telling me, it seems as though he's become head over heels with the mudblood."
"I don't know, I hope he doesn't decide to go with Hermione. She's a mudblood, a friend of Potters' and not to mention a Gryffindor. Where in history was it written that Slytherin's and Gryffindor's were meant to be together?"
"I know, now my brother is contemplating on going out with one… but do you think he'd announce it or even show any affection to her? Especially in front of the whole school?"
"I don't think so if he does he'll lose Crabbe and Goyle as friends then he'll lose Pansy and maybe even you and I. I know that I'd try to accept it. What about you?"
"I'd probably try also, to accept it that is. For the sake of not loosing my brother."
"Sorry to change the subject but, Quidditch today! I hope Draco is being seeker."
"I hope so too, I'm sick of taking his spot for him. Every time I do we get close to winning, but I can't dive and swerve fast enough to catch the snitch so then we lose."
"I know, I'll ask him if he's playing for you…" and with that in Laura's mind she made her way into the castle with Levan holding her hand. They departed halfway to the Slytherin Dungeon and Laura went on to speak to Draco. As she arrived in the common room, she found Draco about to exit with his Quidditch robes.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked after he saw the look on Laura's face. "You look like you just saw a ghost…"
"No, just amazed that you're going to play…" Laura interrupted. "Levan just told me about Hermione…" she stated in a worried tone.
"Ok, well I told him he could tell you. He tells you almost everything well everything really, but YOU don't tell him everything, do you?" Draco said raising his eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Laura asked with a fairly large grin.
"Nobody is here so we can just talk." Draco stated knowing that this would relieve Laura of tension. "You haven't told him about how we… You know, got together when I was with Pansy and you and he just started dating?"
"No, I haven't. It'd break his heart to know that I love you and not him."
Draco then leaned toward Laura brushed his lips against hers and planted a tender kiss on the side of her mouth and cheek.
"We better go" Draco stated.
"Yeah," Laura replied slightly overwhelmed. "Let's go watch you win a game finally."
Both Laura and Draco then exited the common room and left in separate directions.
"Umm Harry," Ginny called whilst walking down the staircase to the Gryffindor common room, "there's no one in the dorm." Subconsciously Harry pulled out the marauders map in search of Hermione. Once he had done so, Ginny appeared by his side only to find that Hermione was by the lake with…
"Draco?" Harry questioned.
"OoOoO… This has got to be good. Harry lets go see Hermione in action and kicking some Malfoy butt!"
Both Ginny and Harry soon were found walking pacingly down the numerous staircases and into the entrance hall. However when they approached, Ginny and Harry found something quite unexpected.
"Whoa, that's a different kind of action I was referring to!" Ginny exclaimed quietly to Harry.
"Yep I never thought she would use tongue bashing against her opponents," Harry stated confusingly.
"Lets go down to the Quidditch pitch and we'll confront her later, I don't think she wants to be interrupted right now."
"Just make sure Ron doesn't find out"
"Eguh quick lets go, I think she's enjoying it" Ginny gagged as she pulled a very disturbed Harry to the Quidditch pitch.
After departing from the dungeons with Draco, Laura took a large detour to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor. She entered and found Moaning Myrtle excited to see her.
"Laura, finally someone to talk to… What's wrong?" Myrtle asked.
"Draco," Laura started with a sigh
"Aww, what happened? You can tell me I promise not to say anything to anyone." Myrtle said wordily. Laura sat and told Myrtle everything since the last time they spoke. Eventually the bathroom door opened to reveal Amanda. Laura stood in shock.
"How much did you hear!" Laura exclaimed with tears stinging her eyes.
"Not much I just passed and heard your voice I opened the door to find you."
"Ok then," Laura said calming down. "Now leave me alone…"
"Laura?" Amanda started causing Laura to turn and face her "Just because we're in different houses doesn't mean that we can't still be friends. If you want to talk, I will be here to talk and listen to you. I don't want our friendship to die."
Myrtle looked at Laura who turned to see Myrtle's expression of emotion. Myrtle smiled shrugged and said,
"She's probably a better person to speak to. If you decide to speak to her than me I don't mind, but make sure you visit with that cute Draco." She giggled.
"Sure" Laura said wiping tears from her eyes. Laura then left the bathroom with Amanda, telling her all about her feelings for Draco rather than Levan. Eventually they made their way to the Quidditch pitch in time for the start of the match. Amanda went to Hermione and Ginny to sit and watch the game.
"Ron was looking for you." Ginny stated.
"Where'd you go?" Hermione asked.
"Just to find an old friend that I needed to speak to." Amanda answered.
Laura made it in time to the Slytherin change room door she was puffing from running as she knew she was late. The door opened to reveal Draco.
"Here," Draco said handing Laura her Quidditch robes.
"Thanks" she replied.
"Quick we're late" Draco stated
"I know I'm sorry."
"You look like you've been… crying?"
"No" Laura snapped "the wind just hurt my eyes whilst I was running here."
"I don't think so," Draco said worriedly "we'll talk later if you want, but right now you have to get ready, you're our best chaser" Malfoy said with a smile as he began tot urn to let Laura change "Oh and I want you to know that I'll always care about you." He said as he left to let Laura get ready. A few moments later Laura walked into the change room ready to go. Draco passed her, her nimbus 2001 and the team walked out of the change rooms and onto the Quidditch pitch that was brightened by the sun.
The Gryffindor team, were just arriving also. Harry began to walk towards Bletchley, the Slytherin captain.
"Captains Shake hands" ordered Madam Hooch, once Bletchley and Harry arrived by her side as they shook hands tighter than necessary. "Mount your brooms" Madam Hooch announced, whilst placing her whistle in her mouth she blew and the games beginning was declared. All of the players flew up into the air as each ball was released. Draco flew around the pitch looking for the snitch whilst making sure Laura and the rest of his team were okay. Draco noticed Harry doing the same thing, when he saw it, the snitch in the middle of the pitch right by the quaffle that Laura had just caught.
"Laura Li from Slytherin has caught the quaffle she's quite the exceptional chaser" Luna announced "She's moving quickly down the pitch and what's this? Draco Malfoy, mind you this is his first match this year, is following her. I suppose he has seen the snitch! I wonder why he did miss so many matches…" She bellowed.
Draco watched as the snitch followed Laura s' every move, he could tell that Harry would soon be by his side and after the fascinating glint of gold. Draco saw Laura pass the quaffle to Bletchley as she made her fast escape to the goal post.
"Ouch that's got to hurt, a bludger is pelted towards Belcher, and wait is his name Belcher? Oh, he drops the quaffle luckily; Laura Li is there to catch it before Katie Bell from Gryffindor can. Well it looks like Belcher is a bit uneasy on his broom."
"It's Bletchley!" McGonagall roared.
Finally, the snitch moved away from Laura and headed towards the sky. Draco could hear the Slytherin's cheering and Pansy screaming that she loved him. Draco removed this thought from mind and made his way towards the snitch. Harry made his way next to Draco on his Firebolt after the snitch.
"What's going on Draco?" Harry asked whilst chasing the snitch.
"What do you mean?" Draco asked also still chasing the snitch.
"And Laura shoots and scores! WOW! My gosh look at those clouds, how cute are they?" Luna exclaimed airily.
"With you and Hermione?" Harry asked "this is the closest I can get to you to talk without anyone noticing me talking to you." He proclaimed.
"Nothing you should know" Draco announced slightly annoyed by the distraction "you must enjoy speaking with me in mid-air whilst I'm trying to win." Draco stated zooming off after the snitch, which had changed direction.
The Slytherins roared as Laura had scored once again. Draco dived towards the ground dodging players and the bludgers in pursuit of the snitch.
"It's now fifty to zero and Slytherins are in the lead! Hey, why is Slytherin winning? They have the best team!" Luna proclaimed unsurely as Draco and Harry followed the snitch, which had lead them close to the ground. Draco and Harry were neck and neck inkling towards the snitch. Both he and Harry reached their hands towards the snitch within seconds Draco found himself directly in front of it; he reached further and clenched his fingers around the tiny ball.
Harry and Draco pulled their brooms upwards, and finally the Slytherins noticed Draco holding the glint of gold as they went into an uproar of cheers. Madam Hooch blew her whistle to signal the end of the game.
"And Slytherin win for the first time against Gryffindor that was quite an unexpected event." Luna started with little approval. The Slytherin sides of the stands were in an uproar of screams for joy. To Draco's surprise, Harry walked towards him and shook his hand. Harry nodded and left.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked Hermione after both of which saw Harry shake Draco's hand.
"Did Harry just…" Hermione started
"Shake Draco Malfoy's hand?" Ron finished as they got up to leave Ginny and Amanda rose to leave also. The four made their way to the change rooms in time to find Harry. As they began to speak Hermione saw Draco walk towards her with a smile when Pansy appeared in front of him.
"Congratulations! Well done!" she squealed whilst smothering Draco with hugs and kisses. Hermione noticed Pansy squealing and smothering Draco, her temper began to boil inside so she looked at Ginny and then at Harry. Ginny realised what was about to happen when she saw Pansy hugging Draco, and Draco bearing a semi-disgusted look on his face, whilst slightly hugging Pansy back.
"You played so well!" Hermione complimented Harry as she began to hug him "too bad we didn't win…"
Harry felt confused, but hugged her back. As he did so, he saw Ginny direct her eyes from him to Draco and Pansy. Harry then realised that Hermione was boiling with jealousy.
"I need to speak with you." Harry whispered into Hermione's ear as she hugged him tighter trying to hide her hurtful emotions.
Meanwhile Laura was in the change room, changing back into her robes, when she heard the door open she ran into a toilet cubicle shut the door and stood on the toilet seat. She did not want to be seen changing into her school robes. Once she had done this, she heard two voices one feminine and the other masculine.
"Why must you always smother me?" Laura recognized the voice straight away it was Draco Malfoy and it seemed that he was possibly talking to Pansy.
"I just wanted…" Pansy replied in an upset tone.
"Just stop it!" Draco interrupted now yelling at her.
Laura had never witnessed one of Draco and Pansy's arguments before, but she's heard people talk about them, when they fight.
"Stop what? Draco!" this time it was Pansy yelling.
"You! Stop smothering me so much! You've started doing it way too much lately!"
"I do not! It's you! You have a problem Draco, wanna know what it is? You think it's ALL ABOUT YOU!"
"How about you? You're always smothering me. I think that maybe you should calm down on the smothering!"
"That's the way I am! I like to show my affection towards you I'm sorry that I care about you. But wait, you don't care about anyone but yourself. Oh wait no, I stand corrected you care about Laura. If you care about her so much why don't you go and be with her?"
"Leave Laura out of this!"
"Ohhh now you're defending her? Are you both together or something?"
At this moment, Laura couldn't believe what she was hearing. Were they going to break up because Pansy thought that Draco and herself were together? A few seconds had passed and Laura heard Pansy speak again.
"So that's how it is" Laura heard her say.
"Pansy, look lets have time to ourselves. Me without you, and you without me. Okay?"
"So we're breaking up?" she asked.
"Not really, more like a 'time-out'"
"Fine" she answered storming out of the change rooms.
Laura heard Draco sit on one of the benches and she sat on the lid of the toilet seat. Obviously, Draco heard her so Laura decided to stand and open the door.
"I'm sorry," Laura started "I didn't mean to listen in… I'm so very…"
"It's okay." Draco interrupted, whilst looking at the ground, "The whole Quidditch team would have heard us."
"I'm still sorry." She replied once again, and sat next to him. Draco lifted his head and turned to look at Laura. She looked very upset so Draco placed his arms around her, lifted her up to stand and gave her a loving hug. Laura put her arms around Draco and embraced him tightly. Draco lifted his hand and ran his fingers through Laura's semi-wavy, slightly copper brunette hair. Laura raised her head revealing her aquamarine green eyes to Draco.
"Those eyes," Draco thought to himself.
"I'm still sorry Draco." Laura said whilst looking at him with her watery eyes.
"It's okay," Draco announced as he placed a kiss on her cheek. Laura turned his head to face hers and slowly moved towards his mouth for a kiss she had been longing for. As she made her way to his lips Draco moved closer to passionately kiss her. He ran his tongue against her bottom lip as they continued to kiss, in the change room.
After Draco and Pansy entered the change room to "TALK" Harry and Hermione left. Ron and Amanda also left and Ginny went to the common room. Harry took Hermione slowly to the library, where he could speak to her privately.
"Harry? Why did you bring me here?" Hermione questioned.
"I want to talk to you…" Harry started "This afternoon…"
"I was here looking for a book I needed for potions." Hermione interrupted.
"Well Hermione, Ginny and I know where you were and honestly it wasn't here…" Harry continued, seeing the worried look on Hermione's face. "You were with Draco, right?"
"Yes… I was," Hermione answered guiltily.
"Ginny and I went to the Entrance Hall as a last resort on finding you as the map said you'd be there. So we went thinking you'd be in trouble as Draco was there but what we found was REALLY unexpected."
"Draco and I well, I think we kind of hooked up… however if we go out no-one will know as we have decided to keep it a secret. So please do not tell anyone, especially Ron and if Amanda knows…"
"She doesn't"
"Okay then do not worry about Amanda just tell Ginny not to tell anyone…"
"sure, but I'm not too keen on him Hermione… Anyways… what's it like kissing a once known enemy anyhow?" Harry asked curiously with a sly grin as Hermione began to go into fits of laughter. They both left for Gryffindor Tower to talk and keep Ginny company.
Whilst Harry and Hermione were in the library, Amanda and Ron made their way to the entrance hall to sit by the tree in front of the lake.
"I haven't found out a lot yet…" Amanda started after Ron had kissed her passionately.
"What have you found out?" Ron replied now embracing Amanda "so far that is…"
"Well so far nothing too important, she was basically telling me what she's told Moaning Myrtle. Nothing more really. Hey did you know that most of the Slytherin's say that they want to join Voldemort." Ron trembled at the sound of you-know-who's name as Amanda continued. "Did you also know that some of them have a muggle born parent?" she asked.
"No, wow that's something you don't find out everyday!"
"I know! Laura said something about secrets also… Some sort of secret that she and Draco share, well apparently there's a few… She says that he tells her everything and if he doesn't tell her himself he tells Levan to tell her for him."
"That doesn't sound like the Draco Malfoy I know" Ron stated.
"Sounds like an unusual side of Draco I've never heard about. Oh but it gets better!" Amanda said with a gleam in her eyes.
As Amanda and Ron continued gossiping, Laura and Draco made their way back to the Slytherin common room in complete silence.
"I can't believe what we just did in the change room, of all places!" Laura exclaimed quietly and shyly as they arrived to the Slytherin common room. Draco lifted his finger towards his lips as if gesturing for Laura to be quiet. Draco quickly kissed her once again and left for his dormitory. Laura was left to take herself to her dorm also. She went up the stairs towards her dorm room, once inside she pulled her wand out and lit all the candles in her room around her. She locked the door, raced towards her bed pulling out two diaries, and began to write. She still couldn't believe what had happened, between her and Draco in the Quidditch change room. She felt that she really needed to write it down.
Dear Diary,
Oh my god… that sounds so cliché… or should I say childish, dear diary… anyway, I'm going to read my last entry and then I'll continue.
Laura turned the pages and read every single entry, before she came back to write about what had happened earlier that day.
In the Ravenclaw dormitory, Amanda too had opened her diary and began to write.
It's been so long since I've actually really spoken to Laura. It's amazing, the way she spoke to me, it was as if we hadn't ever ended our friend ship. It was pretty good talking to her; she even updated the gossip with Levan, Pansy and Draco. I also told her all about Ron and everyone else.
Slowly the night crept away from the grasps of the young witches and wizards of Hogwarts, and so did the weeks.
Draco and Hermione secretly started seeing each other more. Laura stayed with Levan knowing all too well the situation she was in with Draco and so the days went on.
