Soon all the other pixies were places back to the cage by Potter and his friends. And as soon as Potter putted the last pixie the bell rang.
3rd Person P.O.V.
Everyone was in a panic. Teachers were trying to calm the students after they had all come and see a horrifying message, 'The Chamber of Secrets has been opened enemies of the heir...beware.' It was written in what Draco presumed was blood making the threat much more terrifying. While in the crowd Draco noticed the twins glancing at him from time to time, so he carefully made his way to them. Once there the trio left the area to a more..calm place. "Draco we have something to tell you," the taller twin, Fred, said. Draco nodded as they glanced at each other in slight worry. "We saw Ginny leave her room, so we decided to follow her..." George trailed off.
"We decided to follow her and saw her write the message on the wall-"
"After that we tried to follow her but we lost track of were she went-"
""And we just wanted to tell you that you were right. The book needs to go,"" The both said in unison. Draco nodded and sighed so it has begun. Whatever his last Demi-God dream had tried to warn him about has now begun. "I'm sorry that you had to see your sister like that. I'll do anything I can do to take that book away from her, you have my word," Draco looked determined at the twins. They were his friends and he'll do anything he can to make sure they're alright.
After the message was written Draco spent more time at the library writing information down of what he could find in petrificating as so far, Flich's cat was the only thing that was left in the scene. Draco looked around his research in frustration things weren't adding up and Draco doesn't know how much time until the Not-Ginny strikes again with another message or attack. Draco sighed and looked over his bag in his frustration his quill has broke and almost ruined all of his notes. As he was searching his bag a folded sheet of paper fell down from his bag.
Draco stopped and looked over it, he doesn't remember putting anything in his bag. He grabbed the sheet and unfolded it, to see it was the page he had ripped from the book back when he was getting his supplies. He carefully looked over it and noticed it had information about petrifaction. He read as he noticed that it had a creature mentioned; a Basilisk. The creature that can kill by just their stare and has the most venomous fangs in the Wizarding world. Draco put two and two together Not-Ginny was using the Basilisk somehow but that was impossible as it was only loyal to the ones who speak Parseltounge... unless.. Draco grabbed his book and read it he looked at the sheet of paper and grabbed a new quill, and wrote everything down.
After writing everything Draco places the books back to their place and once he was going to place everything back to his bag someone came in the library. He quickly hid and saw it was Granger one of Potter's friends that came in. He stayed were he hid and saw her grab the same books he had just placed back into place. Maybe he could use this as a chance to her the information he had like last year... Draco quickly took the notes and wrote a small message, 'It's me again, I have some information you might need- Fe.'
He grabbed his wand and did a quick 'notice-me-not' charm on himself and quickly but carefully made his way to Granger. He quickly placed the page and note and placed them on her bag. Quickly getting out of the library as soon as he could, once outside he let out a breath he was holding and tried to find the twins, he had something that might help them with their sister.
Draco walked through the hallways when he heard someone crying. He looked around and saw no one near him, so he tried to follow the crying at the best of his ability to end up in an empty restroom. He quietly made his way inside and asked, "Hello is anybody in here?" The cries stopped slightly, "I heard crying and I just wanted to make sure if you were alright." Draco said looking around the restroom when he heard something move from the stall closest to the wall. He made his way there and gently knocked on the stall door, "Are you in here?" He asked knocking a bit more roughly when the door opened. In there it was empty 'huh weird,' he thought as soon as he turned he saw someone with glasses right on his face. He flinched away with a slight curse and took noticed of the translucent figure in front of him.
"I'm sorry if I scared you it's just that knowing that someone heard me made me nervous. I thought you were going to throw something at me like the others did," the ghost said. Draco took notice of the ghost female voice, "It's alright could you tell me why you were crying in the bathroom, or perhaps give me your name?" He asked the female ghost gently. "I was crying because I felt lonely and when others hear me cry they come and throw their school supplies at me! I didn't even do anything to them! I just wanted to have someone to talk to," she exclaimed flouting close to Draco. "I see... if it makes you feel better I promise I won't throw things at you, and I'll try to come here as much as I can so you can talk to me okay?" Draco asked gently as he touched the ghosts arm. The ghost looked surprised at his answer and smiled slightly, "Myrtle." The ghost said, Draco looked at her with confusion, "My name is Myrtle Warren." Draco nodded and said, "My name is Draco just Draco."
Myrtle And Draco sat there and chatted. Draco learned that Myrtle used to be a student of Hogwarts, but she dies in this bathroom by staring at the eyes of a creature. At this Draco was alerted as the only creature he had in mind that could kill a person with a single stare was the Basilisk. As they talked Draco tried to see if Myrtle knew anything about the creature or if she knew what was going on with the whole secret message thing. In which she only responded with a no and a weird name Tom Marvolo Riddle. Draco didn't know why she told him of this name, so he wrote it down in case it came of importance later. Draco warned Myrtle about the Not-Ginny situation and then left with a promise to come back soon.
oOo
Draco felt tired today, another accident had happened and now there was a student on the nursing room thanks to being petrified like Flich's cat. Whatever Not-Ginny was planning it had started now. Draco took noticed that so far the two students that where petrified where both Mudbloods or as they like to call themselves not Muggle-Born. Draco was able to find out that Not-Ginny was somehow using the Basilisk to do their dirty work, so Draco was able to realize that whoever was able to take control of Ginny through the book speak Parseltounge.
Myrtle hasn't said anything about Not-Ginny, so Draco thought that Not-Ginny was someone very clever to not be seen by any of the ghosts that Myrtle has told to be weary about. Draco sometimes asked Myrtle if she knew anything about the Tom Marvolo Riddle fellow that she has mentioned before, and she only revealed that he used to go to Hogwarts with her, Draco still had no idea why she told him about Tom. But he hopped that it was some sort of riddle she was trying to make him solve. The girl was a Ravenclaw, so she sure liked doing riddles.
Today when Draco stepped to the girls bathroom to see Myrtle he smelled something odd. As he came to explore he saw a brewing pot hidden on one of the stalls. Draco waited for Myrtle to appear when he asked, "Why is there a brewing pot here?" Myrtle just giggled and said, "A girl left it here, she said that she wanted to try and do a potion in her room but had lousy roommates that didn't let her work. She told me to take care of it and to make sure no one will bother the potion in any way." Draco sighed, "Why did you let her boss you around into taking care of her potion? For all you know it could be a dangerous potion!"
Myrtle just giggled as she said, "She said that she'll come visit me once in a while, and I accepted I do like your company but sometimes I wish to be able to talk to girls." Draco rolled his eyes. "She could be lying Myrtle," he slightly scolded his ghostly friends. "I know but she gave her word and friends don't lie!" She flew closer to Draco as she said the last words. "Yeah yeah, did she at least gave you her name?" Draco asked Myrtle. She nodded and said, "She said her name was Hermione Granger and that she was in Gryffindors but that was all!" Draco's head snapped up at the mention of one of Potter's friends.
"She's one of the friends of Potter. If she was working on this potion they must need it for something," Draco said to Myrtle, as he squatted down and took a kind breath. Identifying the smell of the potion. "She's working on a Polyjuice Potion, so whatever she might need it for must be serious," Draco told Myrtle. She muttered a small 'oh' and asked, "How did you know it was a Polyjuice Potion, Draco?"
"One of my old tutors was a potions master, and he taught me how to do one of these potions when I was young," Draco reveled. Myrtle hummed. "I won't be able to visit you as much as before when Granger comes," Draco told her. She let out a cry of outrage, "What why?" Her voice full of fear. "Relax I'm not leaving you completely I just can't be seen by Granger seeing you without her getting suspicious and telling her friends," Draco explained trying to calm his ghost friend. Myrtle let out a sigh of relief and they continued to talk in peace.
oOo
It's time, it's finally time for the Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Draco would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous because he was. He hope all those after school days spend in training become worth it for all the pain and exhaustion exercising caused.
"And here we have our first Quidditch match of the year! Slytherin vs. Gryffindor!" The announcer yelled in excitement. That was Draco's cue to get ready on his broom he had gotten as a gift from Lady Hecate as well as his teammates broom. Draco's still confused about why she gave the brooms to them, but Draco likes to think that it's a gift as saying 'you're doing a great job!' And not as a, 'congratulations on not dying yet!' Draco flew a little as they where all getting ready to start the match.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen may the first Quidditch match of the year begin!" The announcer yelled as all the players on both teams started to fly up to their spots. They were all attentive with determined faces glaring and the opposing team. Draco watched out for the players that were flying around him moving out of the way as he stayed attentive to his surroundings, looking for any suspicious people at the stands that could hint where they'll free the golden snitch. Draco was un attentive of when it had started to rain, but he did tried to stay close to Potter saying some insults here and there.
When he lost track of Potter, he looked around and saw him flying away from what seemed like a giant black ball, 'a Bludger,' Draco thought. Well shit Draco loses Potter for one second and he goes and angers The Bludger, reminds him of a certain son of the sea. Draco sighs in annoyance and flys close to Potter, trying to get The Bludger attention away from him. He turns a little successful as he sees The Bludger close up on him he flys away as quickly as he could, when he noticed a shiny golden ball. The golden snitch! Draco flew close to the snitch away of the Bludger as he had his eyes focused at the snitch, he failed to notice Potter closing in until he looked back and saw the Bludger on his brooms tail. He quickly grabbed the handle and pulled up making a whole 360 degrees in the air and stopped when he saw the Bludger smash into Potter. He froze a bit and in that hesitation Potter flew to the snitch as well as Draco, but alas he caught it with his left hand. Cheers roared in the air as the Gryffindor team won Draco flew downwards as he noticed Madam Pomfret alongside Lockhart went at Potter's direction.
Draco sighed and walked to his team noticing some of them had grim faces. He frowned his first game in his team and he already failed as a seeker, he hoped Marcus wasn't too angry with him for failing. They all walked into their locker rooms and took of their uniforms and headed to the showers. The shower rooms had enough space for about forty students and had dividers, so it made it comfy for everyone to shower together. Draco took noticed of how quiet it was and decided to do something about it later.
Once at the Slytherins common room Draco looked at all the gloomy faces of his fellow Slytherin, ashamed of themselves for losing to Gryffindor for a second time. Draco headed to his dorm mates and tried to spike up a conversation. "Pretty gloomy today am I right?" He asked Blaise as he was spread all over the couch. "Yeah, I guess everyone is still bummed out about the match," Blaise said turning his head to pay attention to Draco. "I don't get why people are still bitching over the match," he said a little louder, fully knowing he coughed the attention of some Slytherins near him. He pretended not to noticed the glances they where getting, " I mean sure we lost and that sucks but they're still other matches to win and lose y'know?" Blaise muttered a small yeah. "Maybe we should celebrate that we lost," Draco deadpanned. Blaise raised and eyebrow, "Why would anyone celebrate that they lost?"
Draco shrugged, "Why not besides Gryffindor's are probably celebrating that they won against us, so why don't we? Sure we lost and we shouldn't be celebrating that, but we should just try to have fun and accept that we lost. Maybe bring in some snacks from the kitchen or have a sleepover. Something fun to lift up our spirits and show Gryffindor's that we don't care if we lost and they won, we're still an awesome house." Blaise smiled slightly at this point some of the Slytherins were nodding along Draco and some went to get others together. Draco got off the couch, "Come on lets get the snacks before everyone else gets the good ones," he said dragging Blaise along.
Once they came back they were greeted with laughter and Slytherins all in their own friend group talking to each other or playing stupid games like truth or dare. Everyone seemed to be happy, gloomy aura gone replaced with calmness and happiness. Draco smiled slightly and flinched when he felt someone's arm around his shoulders. "You sure can make people happy huh," he heard a familiar voice from aside him. "It's one of my specialties," Draco said as he turned and faced Marcus. Marcus just smirked a ruffled his hair doing the same face of confusion as Lucas had on his first day of school. "It's a glamour don't ask," Draco said smirking slightly. They other just kept his hand on his hair. "Could you take it off I kinda want to see what kind of mess you got there," Marcus said giving Draco his best puppy eyes.
Draco blushed slightly and turned around Marcus knew his puppy eyes where one of Draco's weaknesses. "Alright fine, just stop doing that face!" Draco told Marcus as he smirked in victory. He made sure to only unglamour his hair and made the blonde hair stay. "Oh Merlin, it looks so soft!" Marcus said in slight awe at the fluffy looking hair. Draco rolled his eyes and slapped Marcus's hand away. "No one can touch my hair unless it's me," He deadpanned and glared slightly at Marcus as he tried to touch his hair again. Marcus let out a small whine, and Draco left him alone. He was glad Marcus didn't blame him for their lost and that they were still cool, he smiled as he saw at all the Slytherins doing dumb shit together.
And they say they were all evil.
Mean? Sure. Evil?
Nah not a chance
Aaaaannnnddd done! Hope you liked this chapter! Also I have some small questions to ask would you guys mind if I made the head cannon Hufflepuff and Slytherins being buddies/friends cannon? I really like the idea and it could be so fucking adorable. Also, would you like Severus, Minerva, and Draco have some sort of bonding time? Like maybe they get to know each other through detentions (Minerva and Draco) or just some fluff between them as if they already know them (Severus and Draco) or any kind of head cannons you have in mind? Let me know!
Now onto some of the comments you guys left!Done-With-People123: I'm not sure if the things Draco will change will be big enough, but I'll say yes, just to be sure. Now I do have some people in mind that will find out about Draco being a Demi-God/Wizard, but I'm not sure yet. Now for your last question, I don't think I'll put Draco in a relationship since I'm not used to writing about relationships but maybe I'm not sure yet. Also, I'm OFFENDED that you thought I wasn't going to make Draco be friends with our little death bean, Nico! Hell yeah are they going to be friends! I just hope you'll like in what I plan them to interact with each other! Thank you for your wonderful comments/reviews I look forward in seeing you in future chapters too!
aflores2005: Thank you I was a bit nervous about having Draco and the twins become buddies so quickly, but I'm glad you liked it!
Oh I almost forgot do you guys want Slytherins to win some of the matches against Gryffindor? Or do you want them to lose like they do in both the book/movie?
-D.
