Pity Party
It's being raining non-stop, for a while now. The gloomy atmosphere seemed to settle over the castle. Draco looked outside out of hidden room. He found this one in his 4th year. With clever movement of stones bricks in wall and a cast spell for open, the wall let him through. He sat on windowsill of a small room containing many barrels filled with grain. His eyes were staring outside over the entrance to castle. The Forbidden Forest looked grey and dull. It only made Draco depressed as he summoned a cup of coffee and a cheesecake for his little pity party. To him everything seemed to go wrong. He unfolded wrinkled letter from his mom that he smashed into small ball out of anger. He seemed to examine the words without actually reading. Outside yet another group of younger students ran out screaming as the cold rain poured onto their heads. Draco rolled his eyes at them, while they were having a blast time, slipping and falling over each other. Draco focused on letter again and started reading it.
My dear Draco,
Your father is out of Azkaban. He wants you to come home. You could have a lot of power with his influence. He's not as crazy as the Daily Prophet describes him. He already has control of underground market and we are receiving tremendous income.
If you won't be home in a week, he'll pick you up at Hogwarts.
Love Mom
Definitely, he didn't want to be a slave to his father as he was to the Dark Lord. Draco unfolded yet another peace of paper. This one was small and yellowish unlike the previous. It only said:
Be careful my dear Draco. Stay in Hogwarts at all times. Try not to be alone.
He looked over them. Both were his mother's handwriting.
He was confused about what was going on at home, but the letter was enough of a warning. He seeped at the cup of coffee. I'll find Crabbe and Goyle later, Draco told himself. I'm too miserable to be talking to anyone. Not only did his love obviously didn't have any return feeling for him but his father was about to kidnap him. He was also annoyed at almost everything, especially gossips in Slytherin Common Room. Wherever he went outside the Slytherin Common Room walls, all the eyes would focus on him until he left. Everyone seemed to hate him.
My life sucks, he thought, as he bit into a little peace of cheese cake. He slowly finished it up, and lazily stood up, tired of his little pity party. Well I'll just have to do something about it. I'm out. He opened the door and walked out as the plate and cup vanished behind him.
Draco made his way back to Slytherin Common Room to pick up his assignment, to study in the library. Well actually more like seat there and stare off to space hoping Luna will appear. He walked to the dark dungeons which he has begun exploring ever since he got to Hogwarts. Out of the students, he probably knew the dungeons the best. No, for sure he knew them the best, he had no doubt. He stopped by a blank wall and whispered.
"Avada kadavra." He wasn't sure how he got this password approved. But Snape was surely the sweetie who was responsible for this. Tonight was his shift with Pansy to watch over the common Room. Oldest of the students were thought to have lots of responsibilities as they did and were given only one full night of watching over Common Room for any kids trying to sneak out. Pansy has being running most of the affairs this year. But as the wall slid reveling Slytherin Common Room, Draco was for a nasty surprise.
Everyone's eyes (about 5 firsties that were there) turned to him. As he calmly strode into the common Room, their heads followed him obnoxiously. It irritated him so. So as soon as he gave firsties an evil glare they lowered their eyes to the ground, but for Draco it wasn't enough. He walked right over them, and sat beside one in the sofa. Silly… they still had their eyes down. Kids… Draco thought to himself. No matter how nasty and spoiled they are, they do the darnest things. One boy, with dark brown hair and sharp pointed nose looked up only to be met with beastly eyes of Draco. He looked down but too late, Draco got his excuse to start a "conversation".
"What are you staring at kid?" Draco said.
A girl that seemed to be so snotty, it looked as if she had snot under her nose looked up and snapped. "None of your business. Get lost."
To this response Draco caught a lock of her hair and pulled it
"Do you know what I do to little spoiled girls like you?" He said with a smirk.
But she only sniggered, "You don't have the guts to do anything."
Draco watched her patiently and said, "Wrong! I eat them alive, after I feed them so they'll be nice and wet." He let go off her.
She looked at him creeped out, but the other four wrinkled their noses as they said "eew". Draco's eyes looked at a book that lay rightly over another book. It was obvious by little bugger's reaction of trying to pull it closer when he noticed that Draco was staring at it that he was trying to hide something. Immediately Draco snatched the books out of the boys hands and looked over them, throwing the top book over the couch. He looked at the paper cover of another, and read "Draco's Diary".
The same girl sniggered again, "It's Hogwarts very own best selling by Draco Malfoy." With the calmest look on his face Draco looked over it again laughing. The firsties looked at him confused. He threw it back into the boy's hands.
"Looks interesting. Where did you get it?" I think I'd like to read what they write about me."
"Stop bluffing," a fat boy peeped. Draco took his cheeks and squeezed them.
"No wonder, your parents never talk about you. You're so fat and ugly, half-blood." The boy looked back down, as Draco wiped his hands on a handkerchief, as if theyw ere dirty from touching the boy.
"Where did you get this?" He asked, but they kept their silence. "Or you get a detention," he added .
The little girl gave him the evilest look.
"Detention to you, missy. Anyone else wants to join her?"
"Alright, they are being distributed by Blaise." Skinny boy said. That was easy, Draco thought.
"Good boy," Draco whispered, as he reached in his pocket and took out a peace of candy. "Here you go. What's your name?"
The boy looked down and said "Austin."
"Well don't look down. Keep your head up no matter what. You are a Slytherin after all."
"And what's your name?" He pointed his chin toward the girl, only to be met with her silence. "You don't want me to give you another detention, do you?"
"Fine, It's Ana," she looked away.
"As for your detention, come to the Slytherin Common Room at midnight." Draco grinned.
"Is Filch going to come to our Common Room?"
"Oh, don't ask such a silly questions. I'll be the host of your detention."
"But you can't do that!"
"Yes I can. And what do you prefer, cleaning up puke with Filch for six hours or a nice easy task for an hour with me?" She looked at him silently. "No objections? Good, see you guys later." Draco walked off holding the book under his elbow, which seemed to appear out of nowhere. It was his diary the book he was holding. It only took him to call upon the diary's name and it came popping right in his hand. And he wasn't even worried about the copies of his diary the students had. His diary would never betray him and Blaise should be smarter then that.At leasthe was smart enough not to black mail Draci with that shit.
Now where did Blaise go? Draco thought to himself, as he looked all over the Slytherin common room and dormitories, and went upstairs, to the great hall to check there.
-------------
Draco looked in distressed around. No sign of Blaise anywhere. His cronies, Crabbe and Goyle have already left. They were acting strange. They couldn't make a complete sentence to answer to any of Draco's questions. So he sat alone poking at his dinner of mashed potatoes with sausages in Great Hall. He liked lobsters so much better.Pancy who just walked into the Great Hall was quick to join Draco. She sat down awfully close to him. He could smell her sweet perfume, not that he didn't like them, it just that... He looked over to where Luna usually sat.
"Hey Draco," she giggled. "I read your diary. It was very entertaining. Poor Ron." She laughed meaning Ron's lack of money. As he could already guess, the pages were filled with him making fun of the trio, but it didn't bother him.
"Oh, I haven't being writing in it for a while." Draco said thoughtfully.
He took the diary from Pancy's hands, and scanned through it. Yeah, just as he guessed most of this stuff was making fun of the trio. Jokes about Hermione's appearance, and Harry's dorkiness, and the most nastiest to Ron, who was a traitor to pure blood.
"Anyway," Draco handed back the diary. "We're having a guest tonight?"
"Oh?"
"Just some first year, who I gave detention to. Her name is Ana. She was seriously pissing me off." Draco made a face.
"Slytherin student?" Pancy looked at him disapprovingly.
"She doesn't exactly act like one." Draco grimaced.
"Well what are you going to have her do?"
"Let's have fun playing with her."
"Like?"
"Come on Parkinson, you can be more creative!"
"I told you to call me Pancy!" Draco ignored this.
"She'll serve us food and drinks for a while. Muggle labor in other words. And I want her to rearange the Common Room for my happiness and clean up a few dirty coners."
"Hmm…" Pancy said unsurely. MeanwhileGryffindor Quidditch team walked in. And both Slythein students turned their attention to them with mocking eyes. All in the teamhad a tired look in their eyes. They dragged their feet behind them. Potter made them practice all day from dawn to sunset. They already started preparing for their Quidditch match with Slytherin. They off coarse won the first match against Hufflepuffs. Draco groaned as he thought of their match against Ravenclaw in two weeks. Tomorrow they had the field for practice. Monday, what a perfect day for practice? He liked Mondays basically because nobody had too much homework. Most of it would be due at the end of the week, and that's when Gryffindors would get the field. He warned the team to do all their homework on Sunday, which off coarse wasn't happening.
"Only idiots would practice all day in the freezing rain mixed with snow." Draco whispered to Pancy, asthey both stood up and walked out of the Great Hall.
-------------
Harry finally found Luna in the library and decided to enjoy last few hours before bed in her company. But the luxury didn't last long. Harry's eyes widened as the first year Ravenclaw walked up to them and waved to Luna. He could swear it was that girl from a few days ago. He looked everywhere for her, but she has ran away.
"Hey Luna!" The little rascal ran up to Luna while Harry had an arm around her. The little girl gave Harry an evil look and stuck her tongue out.
"I need to tell you a secret," she told Luna. Harry's eyes opened up even wider to these words. Luna bend down to the girl, who was much shorter then her. She looked like a midget to the eyes of Harry. Little girl whispered something in Luna's ear. And Luna tried hard not to look at Harry as she started giggling, which she tried to hold back without much of success. The first year stuck her tongue out at Harry again and ran off.
"What did she tell you?" Harry asked trying to keep it cool, while everything in Harry was boiling with anger. That little punk is trying to black mail me, after I've being out there in cold rain snow working my ass off! At first he didn't think that girl knew Luna or anything, but apparently they were from the same house.
"Oh nothing important," Luna said before her eyes lost their focus as she spaced out. Harry rolled his eyes.
What could he do to keep her from telling Luna? Beg on his knees? Well, that wasn't going to happen. He still valued his dignity. He and Hannah were just having fun that time. He blushed as he remembered that day. However, he was tired of little girl whose name he didn't even know. He thought about it and decided that he would catch her alone and erase her memory. He was grossed out at the thought. He was a Gryffindor. But it wouldn't hurt her if she lost a couple of memories…
