Pansy returned from the hospital wing around eight o'clock. Draco took Abigail's advice and pretended to be deeply concerned. He also told her that they found out that it was a Gryffindor who hexed her and they had already hexed them back. Pansy kept trying to blame Abigail until Crabbe reminded her that Abigail hadn't spoken or raised her wand. Pansy decided that it didn't matter now that Draco was once again, more concerned with her than any fourth year. She spent the remainder of the night sitting on Draco's lap and shooting dirty looks at Abigail, who was so involved in her book she didn't notice. Around ten o'clock Draco told Pansy that she had such a rough day that she better get some sleep. Pansy got up and kissed Draco on the cheek. She bid them all goodnight and with only final dirty look at Abigail she walked up the stairs to her dorm. Once she was gone Draco complained about not being able to feel his legs "Blimey if she were any bigger she would kill me" Abigail decided that it would be fun to do an impression of Pansy. She stood up and stuck out her chest. She went and sat on Crabbe's lap. She hugged his head
"Oh Dracie" she started in a rather high voice "It was such a horrible day" she shot Goyle a dirty look. Goyle had picked up Abigail's book and pretended to read it "Did you see what that… that thing did to me" she threw her head back and her long hair lightly swept Crabbe's now red face. "I was just being my extra wonderful perfect pig self" Draco let out a snort "And she tried to hex me"
"Oh no you see it was a Gryffindor" said Crabbe trying not to laugh "But it's alright we already hexed them"
"Oh Dracie thank you so much for protecting me" she gave Goyle another dirty look "I always knew that you like me better than HER" she pointed dramatically at Goyle who sniggered. Abigail put her hand to her forehead and leaned back. Crabbe easily caught her "It was just so traumatic. But at least you were here for me Dracie" she put her face in Crabbe's robe and pretended to sob. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle all burst out laughing
"That was brilliant" Goyle said as tears were running down his face
"What was Brilliant" asked Pansy who had comeback to get her book bag she had forgotten
"Draco was telling me about how he was poking fun at Potter today at dinner before I turned up" Abigail replied with a straight face
"You mean when you were off hexing Ravenclaws
"What on earth are you talking about?"
"You may have everyone else fooled but I know how evil you really are"
"Pansy, it wasn't her. There were five witnesses" Draco stated
"Well then why is she sitting on Crabbe's lap?"
"Ever think I might be putting the moves on him" Abigail snapped "But thanks for ruining it"
"I uh… I had no idea"
"Well thanks for embarrassing me" Abigail cried as tears were running down her cheek. She put her face once more in Crabbe's robes
"Pansy that was uncalled for. You better go to bed" Draco said
Pansy turned lost for words and started up the stair. Abigail quickly turned around and muttered something. She quickly put her face back in Crabbe's robes and let out a sob as Pansy turned around. She opened her mouth to say something, but immediately closed it an continued walking up the stairs not noticing that the back of her robe was completely see through. She was once again safely in her dorm when Goyle said "Coast clear"
Abigail stopped crying at once. "Sorry about that Crabbe. Hope I didn't embarrass you. It was the first thing I could think of"
"Blimey you are convincing. If I hadn't been in the middle of things I would've believed every word"
"Another one of my gifts"
"But was it really necessary. I mean I didn't need to know that Pansy was wearing bright pink knickers" said Draco with a shudder
"Hey the entire time she was on your lap, she kept her legs open and Goyle and I could've both told you what color her knickers are"
"Point taken"
"Well I better get to sleep. Night Dracie, Crabbie and Goylie" she said giving each of them a peck on the cheek on her way upstairs. She turned and waved with a snicker. They all looked to make sure their robes weren't see through. When she was out of sight Crabbe turned to Draco
"I don't know why you are always complaining about Pansy sitting on your lap. I didn't mind Abigail"
"Well of course you didn't" snapped "Abigail is the best looking witch at this school, and she doesn't weight over a ton now does she"
Crabbe just sat in silence
"I am going to bed" Draco snapped as he walked up the stairs and slammed the door to his dorm
"Brilliant" he said to himself "I bring her into our group and she hexes one and hits on another. What happens to me, I get embarrassed"
Draco pulled off his robe and lay down in his bed. He fell asleep trying to devise a plan.
The next few weeks seemed to go by extremely fast. Abby (as they were now permitted to call her) seemed to be spending all of her free time with Draco, Crabbe and Goyle. She had taught Crabbe and Goyle a few hexes that they were able to put on Harry and Ron. Pansy was keeping an exceptionally close eye on Draco; she always seemed to be within a few feet of him. At meal times she made sure she sat next to him. In the common room she always made sure to sit on his lap and shoot Abby as many dirty looks as she could.
It was Friday night and they had all finished dinner. Crabbe was sitting in an easy chair by the fire playing wizard chess against Goyle who was sitting on the floor next to Abby. Abby was on her back reading a book about potion making, with her legs propped up on Crabbed.
"Why do you read so much" Crabbe asked Abby as his knight was kicking the shite out of Goyle's rook
"I find it keeps my mind sharp"
"Blimey how sharp does your mind need to be?" ask Goyle
"Look" she started setting her book on her stomach "When you keep your grades up teachers don't expect you to be the troublemakers, and it make it dead easy to get away with things"
"That makes sense then. Where in the bloody hell is Malfoy?" asked Crabbe
"I suspect hiding from Pansy" said Abby picking her book back up
"She has really been laying it on thick, ever since you came about" said Goyle almost accusingly
"I hope you are not blaming this on me. Draco invited me, I didn't invite myself" she replied
"I can't blame you for the fact that he wants to snog you all day everyday for the rest of his life"
"Rubbish"
"If that's what you want to think"
A few minutes later Draco came traipsing through the portrait of the Sinister Minister of Magic.
"What the bloody hell happened to you" asked Abby setting down her book "You look a bloody wreck"
"Parkinson" Draco said sitting in an easy chair. His robe was horribly wrinkled, his tie was lopsided, half of his shirt was untucked and his hair was completely disheveled
"What did she do to you" Crabbe asked with his mouth gaping
"She has been chasing me all over school trying to snog me for the last hour. She followed me everywhere, even the bathroom. I finally lost her on seventh floor. Some tiny broom closet I had never seen"
"Room of Requirement" Abby added off handedly
"What is..?"
"I'll tell you later" she said waving her hand at Goyle "Well on the brightside your hair looks better than it usually does"
"What's wrong with the way my hair looks" he asked flattening it out
"Well it makes you look a bit like a slime ball doesn't it" Abby replied as she pulled her own hair into a messy bun. "But don't feel too bad I tell Snape the same thing, but I mean he does have and excuse, the potions can leave a pretty nasty residue on your skin and hair"
"I do not look like a slime ball"
"You know the stories that everyone tells, I though you a bit less of a Hufflepuff"
Draco automatically pulled out his wand "What did you call me"
"Put it away Dracie. Put it away before you get hurt" she said calmly glaring at him
Draco reluctantly put his wand away and glared back
"I just meant you shouldn't take everything so personally. Sensitivity is a huge weakness. We will have to work on that." Abby surveyed him "Well I guess you have had a rough day, so I will let you get away with it… tonight only"
"Damn right it was a rough day. You wouldn't think that pig could run that fast but she can" Draco said shaking his head "Then she gets a hold of you and she has an inhuman grip"
Abby slowly stood up and stretched. She told Goyle to hold onto her book. She then grabbed Malfoy's hand "If Parkinson comes tell her, Malfoy got hexed and I am taking him to the hospital wing. But you two stay put. Look over the book it might help you a bit" she added with a wink
Abby lead Malfoy down a few corridors making sure to look around each corner before continuing
"Where are you taking me" Malfoy asked
"Don't worry. Just keep your hood up and an eye out for Parkinson"
"What are we supposed to do if she comes?"
"Just pretend we are snogging. If you keep your hood up, she will never know it's you"
They walked down a few more corridors when they heard a very familiar voice screaming "Dracie where are you"
Abby quickly grabbed Draco pulled him in a corner and pinned him against the wall
"Wait she will recognize my ring" he said quickly as he grabbed Abby's waist and spun her around so she was pressed against the wall. Abby grabbed Draco's hood and made sure none of his silver blonde hair was showing. She quickly pulled Draco closer so that there was no space between them she flung her arms around his neck as her put his hands on her hips. Abby looked out of the side of her hood. Having her face still hidden by her hood, she watched Pansy approach them. She slowed down once she had reached them and seemed to watch them. Abby put her face centimeter from Draco's face and whispered "I think she is trying to pick up tips for when she tracks you down"
Indeed a few moments later Abby heard Pansy say "When I track down Dracie I am not going to waste anything talking to him"
Abby thought she heard Draco whimper. "Pull yourself together" she quietly snapped. Draco didn't have to be told twice. In one swift movement he easy picked up Abby who let out a gasp in surprise, she then wasted no time wrapping her legs around Draco's middle, adding to the illusion that they really were snogging
Pansy seemed to believe them, Draco distinctly heard her mutter "Maybe Dracie will pick me up like that" she watched them a few more minutes before she walked away. They waited a few minutes to make sure she wasn't coming back. Draco carefully set Abby back on the ground. They double checked to make sure the coast was clear. Abby then grabbed his hand and lead him down a few more corridors until they reached a painting of a fruit bowl. Abby tickled the pear and lead Draco into the kitchen
"Food always cheers me up after a shit day"
"Wicked"
A small houself came and brought them a tray of éclairs and cupcakes. Malfoy grabbed a few and stuffed them in his mouth. Abby stared at him intently for a few minutes until he had eaten four cupcakes and two éclairs
"How did you know how to get to the kitchen" he asked wiping chocolate from his mouth
"Sev"
"What"
"Snape"
"What did you call him?"
"Sev, short for Severus… his name"
"Yes thank you I knew his first name"
Abby stared at him a few more minutes
"You had some moves back there, you shocked me a bit"
"Huh?"
"In front of Parkinson. I didn't think you had any muscles in you." She said with her smirk returning to her face "You know sometime I might even let you snog me for real… If you are lucky"
"You might let me snog you"
"If you are lucky. But not if you have already snogged Parkinson, I don't do sloppy seconds"
"Ok let's get a few things straight. One I choose who I snog not the other way around. And two maybe I did snog Pansy. Does that make you jealous?"
"Not jealous. But defiantly a bit revolted"
"Look it was last year after the Yule Ball. She was my date. I was bored afterward so yeah we snogged for a while"
Abby smirked at him and shook her head
"What it's not like you snogged anyone ever"
"Montague"
"Yeah well Pansy told me I was an excellent kisser" Malfoy boasted
"Yeah coming from a girl who has been trying to get you into her bed for years. You haven't slept with her, have you" Abby asked cringing
"Hell No. I never need to see that girl naked"
"Oh great mental picture thanks for that" Abby said with a shudder "we better get going, we don't want our little prefect to get in trouble for being out past curfew"
Draco rolled his eyes at her. Abby put her hood up and looked at Draco who did the same. Draco pocketed a few treats for Crabbe and Goyle. They slowly walked down the corridor keeping their ears and eyes out for Pansy "I could do it if I want ya know" Draco whispered to Abby
"Do what"
"Make you want to snog me by this time next Friday"
"Yeah right"
"I bet you ten galleons"
"Fine but if I make you snog me by next Friday you have to give me fifteen galleons"
"No problem"
"And no magic allowed"
"I don't need any magic"
They hurried back to the common room, luckily not running into Pansy. Draco gave Crabbe and Goyle the treats he had picked up in the kitchen
"How come we never knew how to get into the kitchens" Crabbe asked Goyle
"Well let's be serious, you two aren't the brightest people at school" Abby replied
"But we like to eat more than everyone else" Goyle retorted
Before Abby could reply Montague the Quidditch captain strolled over
"I want you two as my beaters this year" he said to Crabbe and Goyle
"Ok" they said in shock
"Now Montague, that doesn't sound very fair to me" Abby added in mock concern "You know Dumbledore will want to have try-outs so it's fair for everyone"
Montague who had just noticed Abby winked at her and sat down next to her. He smoothly put his arm around her shoulder
"Abby, of course I am going to hold try-outs. I just told them I want them to be my beaters so they better show up"
"I see"
"Are you going to come watch?"
"Yeah right"
"Oh come on. I'll let you ride my broom. Besides don't you want to come cheer me on?" he said flexing his muscle
"I'll come and ride your broom. And by the way I like your sweatshirt" Abby said as she ran her hand across his chest
"Well if you come tomorrow I'll let you wear it"
Abby stood up and kissed him on top of his head "well I just might surprise you tomorrow then"
"You can come surprise me tonight in my bed" he said with a wink
Abby winked back and went up the stairs to her dorm room. When she was gone Montague turned to Crabbe and Goyle
"Make sure you are on the pitch tomorrow at noon. You too Malfoy, I want the entire team there"
Malfoy wasn't paying attention "Did you mean what I thought you meant when you told Abby to come surprise you in bed"
"I have been trying to get her to sleep with me since the ball last year. I am close, she said if I win the cup this year she will"
"But she is only a fourth year"
"Yeah but she is the same age as you"
"What do you mean?"
"She is fifteen. She is going to be sixteen in a few months"
"Really how do you know?'
"She told me. But don't ask me why, I don't know"
"Ok so tomorrow noon, we will be there"
Montague stood up and walked away. Malfoy sat in shock that Abby was his age. He shook his head and went to his room and fell asleep
A/N Well another one done. I have no reviews so I don't know if this is complete shite or not. And I am bored so I am going to keep writing. CHEERS
