Chapter 16- revenge part 2
This was going to be soooo good. Summer practically skipped back to the common room. She was going to gather up the people that mattered most and let them find out what Tristan had been up to.
Meanwhile unaware of what plots were set against them Rory and Tristan were having a great time.
"That's not fair. You cheated I know it." Tristan accused. Rory had just beaten him at wizard chess for the first time ever. Her queen was doing a little victory dance around the board whilst his few remaining pieces grumbled about where Tristan had gone wrong. Understandably they kept their voices down as they considered themselves lucky not to have joined their wounded friends on the sidelines.
"I did not cheat!" Rory protested. "And you know it. You just refuse to admit that I outplayed you this once. It's so sweet, I never would've pegged you as a sore loser." Rory teased leaning in for a kiss.
As the kiss began to get more serious the door swung open and Tristan's eyes were met by Draco, Paris, Millicent, Pansy and Summer.
"What the hell?" Pansy asked eyeing the obvious un-innocent position the Ravenclaw was currently in with Tristan of all people. She then went off with Millicent no doubt to tell the whole school this juicy little piece of gossip.
Tristan was currently at a conflict of interest Malfoy was staring at him open mouthed in obvious shock. Did he save his friendship or his relationship.
Summer loved seeing the obvious turmoil Tristan was going through, and continued to watch the scene unfold before her.
Paris was the first to speak "Why her?"
That answered Tristan's question. It looked like he was going to tell the truth and that meant he could kiss his Slytherin respect goodbye. "I like her"
"OK" Paris said softly "but this doesn't mean that I like you" She added addressing Rory before stalking out of the room.
This left only Draco to pass comment. "If your doing this to get at your dad it's not worth it. Our future is decided" Draco said softly.
"Its not set in stone. I've told my dad time after time that I'm not joining the dark. I don't believe in all that pure blood equals superiority bollocks. And as for me and Rory, it has nothing to do with my dad. The only people it effects are me and her and we like each other. Draco we've been friends since we were kids. I don't want to fall out with you over this but I've made my decision to go against our fathers and I'm not turning back." Tristan said all this with as much confidence and consideration as he could looking his oldest friend in the eye.
Draco seemed to take a long time thinking it over. "ok" he finally said. "but if our dad's ask me if I knew anything I'll deny it. I've not made my mind up yet. I really don't want to disappoint father" Draco concluded before exiting the room and closing the door behind him.
"Well that's the biggest hurdle crossed" Tristan sighed sitting back down with Rory.
"Thank you" She said quietly cuddling close to Tristan.
"What for?" Tristan asked
"For telling the truth and not saying I was a conquest to save your reputation." She said.
"Well it was the right thing to do." Tristan explained
"Who would've thought you'd turn into such a good little boy" Rory mocked
"Less of the little."
Summer was positively fuming… How could her fellow housemates accept this mockery of a relationship? Well she knew what to do. She composed a letter late that night and gave it to her owl. "be quick I want him to reply to me by morning.
Three or four hours later Mike DuGrey opened as sealed piece of parchment.
Dear Mr DuGrey
