GML: unties the gag and ropes Idiot!
Harry: Thanks... that was a lax potion.
Draco: wince Oh my poor baby! You wouldn't have been able to 'get it up' for a long time!
GML: sigh I don't own 'HP', Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to have a nice long... talk, with our Potions master. stalks out of the room
Key:
"Speech"
'Thoughts'
Tele-talk
Dami! Dami, Where are you!? Silence. Either he was out of reach or ignoring him. More likely the second.
Draco hurried down the hallways searching for Damion.
"Now if I were Dami, where would I go?" He wondered aloud. He'd already checked the Common Room and Their dorm but he was nowhere in sight.
Draco turned another corner then paused. His mind was whirling with guesses. 'The dungeons? No, Dami wouldn't be there. He wouldn't go to the Gryffindor Common room, he can't get in. The astronomy tower? Nah... it'd take him too long to get there... So where the Hell could he be?'
"Malfoy!" Draco turned to see Granger and the Weaslett hurrying toward him.
"What Granger?" Draco asked glancing down the hallway he had been walking down as though Damion would just 'appear' there.
"Your looking for Damion? I believe I know where he is." Hermione said as they stopped before the boy.
Draco's head snapped back to them. "Where? How would you know?"
Hermione smiled grimly, "Simple. He usually goes to the same place when he gets uptight for some reason or another. The Quiditch Pitch to fly."
"Of course! Why didn't I think to look there?" He started back toward the Entrance Hall.
"Simple. You don't know him well enough yet. Don't worry, it's easy to figure out his habits. When he gets too emotional, he flys. Simple as that." Hermione smiled as she and Ginny fell into step with Draco.
Ginny giggled slightly, "Too true. Hermione, remember that one time when Fred was teasing him about Cho Chang? He got so irritated that he took off on his Firebolt and refused to come down from flying over the Burrow for four hours!"
"Chang?" Draco asked interested
"Yeah, Damion's had a Huge crush on her for the last... year, I think." Ginny put in chuckling, "Of course, then their was the whole 'Cedric' thing."
"Yeah, I don't know where he stands with her now. Everytime she sees him or trys to talk to him she brakes down crying wanting to talk about what happened to Cedric." Hermione frowned.
"I know, that's gotta be tuff. He hates talking about that. He won't even talk to Dumbledore or Si- -er- Snuffles and that's saying something." Ginny added glancing at Draco and around the rest of the hall. "Personally, I think Cho should be ashamed of hereslf. She 'claims' to really like Damion, yet, Cedrics all that's on her mind. I mean, I can understand greaving, but this is too much."
Draco glanced around the hall as they crossed toward the doors, mentally storing away the 'Cho' info, to bring up with his double later. They all waited till they were outside before continuing their conversation.
"Who's Snuffles? I've heard you all mention him on several occasions before." Draco asked.
"Er- Sorry, Malfoy, But that's for Damion to tell you. It's his desision whether you know or not. Don't worry, though, I'm sure he'll tell you sooner or later." Hermione offered him a soft smile. Suddenly her face changed as a thought hit her, "Snuffles! Oh, no! He doesn't know about Damion! He's gonna go balistic when he finds out!"
Ginny's eyes widened, "Damn! I knew something was getting forgotten in all the excitement. We'll have to remind Damion to write him."
They dropped their conversation as they entered the stadium. They walked out onto the edge of the feild and looked around. Draco spotted Damion first, flying around the goals on the far end of the feild.
"He's too far away to yell at him. Guess we'll just have to go air-born." Draco commented heading toward the Slytherin locker room, and Ginny headed for the broom shed next to it.
"Uh, You guys go ahead, I'll just go sit in the stands and wait." She turned and hurried off.
"What's her problem?" Draco asked watching the girl hurry off.
Ginny watched Hermione clime the stairs quickly, "She doesn't like flying. Ever since first year when she found out all those tips she'd learned from books were useless for actual flying. Hasn't been on a broom since." She turned and they continued to get their brooms, "Whenever Damion, Ron, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, and I play Quiditch she always just sits out watching or playing score-keeper."
"What, is she afraid of flying or something?" Draco asked, it never dawned on him that he had been holding a civil and somewhat enjoyable conversation with a Weasley, and not to mention a muggle-born.
"I don't think so. I mean she can fly, if she has too, she just doesn't like it." Ginny grinned evilly, "I think it's just 'cause she can't read a book and fly on a broom at the same time."
Draco had to laugh at that. He and Ginny quickly retrieved their brooms and took to the air making a beeline for Damion.
Damion was flying around the hoops as fast as he could, doing flips, and making dives. He was holding back the pain he felt at his 'friend's' reactions. He had heard Draco call out to him but had ignored it.
"Dami!"
He jerked to a halt as Draco flew right into his path effectivly getting his attention.
"How did you find me?" Damion asked, he hadn't noticed Ginny comming toward them or Hermione in the stands.
"Weaslette and Granger." Draco answered gesturing to the girls. Ginny smacked him in the back of the head for the 'Weaslette'. Draco just smirked rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh. Well, then just... go away." Damion started to turn his broom away to fly off but Draco grabbed it.
"Oh no, brother dearest, I want to know exactly what happened." Draco said keeping ahold of Damion's broom.
"Then I'll tell you later." Damion said looking meaningfully at Ginny.
Ginny caught the hint and smiled, "I think I'll go keep Hermione company while you boys talk. She looks awfully lonely over there by herself." She took off leaving the twins to themselves.
"Come on Dami, lets go sit in one of the other stands and talk." Draco let go of Damion's broom. He lead the way as the boys landed in a stand on the other side of the feild.
Draco laid their brooms across the bech next to him and turned to face his brother. He continued their conversation mentally as it seamed more privet.
So? What happened? The Weasel said he 'cut you off before you could have your fun insulting them'. What really happened, Dami?
Damion turned his eyes to his feet. He scuffed his shoe on the bench for a moment before answering. All I did was walk over to them and say 'Hey guys'. They started saying some rather harsh things.
Like what? Draco frowned, he didn't like how down this was making Damion. Sure he was having trouble dealing, but Damion was still his brother and this had to be harder on him then on Draco himself. At least Draco's friends had easily accepted the change.
Damion sighed, Seamus was really cold and said 'Well, if it isn't the long lost malfoy twin.' Dean asked if I had come to mock the 'lowly Gryffindors'. I've never heard either of them sound so cold. And it only gets worse. When I asked what happened Ron demanded to know why I hadn't told them I was a Malfoy. As though I had known all along! And he called me a... a Slytherin Snake.
Draco looked a bit offended that Damion would take this as an insault. Damion continued not even looking at him.
Not that the name along is a bad thing, but the way he said it... It hurt, Dra. Ron's suppose to be my best friend.
Draco felt sorry for his brother and wrapped his arm around Damion's shoulders, surprising them both. Damion just leaned into his brother's side.
You know. After you left the hall I whent to find out what happened. Draco smirked, I pointed my wand at the Weasel and 'reminded' him which twin liked to torment him. He was really pissed I think. You should have seen the look on his face when Granger and Weaslette agreed with me.
Are you serious? Damion glanced up into his double's face.
Completely. Damion had to laugh at the thought of Ron's expression. After a few moments, Damion settled back into his pained silence.
They sat like that for a while, Draco silently comforting his other half and Damion fighting back tears.
Finally after a few minutes Damion pulled away and smiled. "Come on Dra, 'Mione and Ginny are probably wondering about us." He laughed slightly, releaving the tension.
"All right. Speaking of Granger and the Weaslette, they mentioned 'Snuffles'. Who the hell is Snuffles?" Draco asked as he picked up their brooms and handed Damion his.
"Snuffles? Shit! Snuffles! I completely forgot about him! I'll have to write him as soon as I can and tell him what happened..." Damion gasped as he climbed on his broom and lifted into the air with Draco. Catching the qustioning look from Draco, he added, "I'll tell you later. It's a Looong story."
Draco nodded and they both took off, racing across the feild, toward the girls who were sitting there chatting about this and that. Damion hopped off his broom and sat next to Hermione Draco stood leaning against the edge of the box.
"Sorry it took us so long. I had a few problems to deal with." Damion smiled appologetically.
"It's ok Damion. We were there, remember? We saw how that idiot brother of mine acted." Ginny offered him a comforting smile.
"Come on you guys, we've been out here for over four hours. Let's go inside. It's about time for Lunch and Damion skipped Breakfast. Thank goodness it's a Sunday." Hermione stood and lead the way toward the steps. The other three rolled their eyes and followed her.
Hermione waited for the boys and Ginny to put up their brooms. Then the Slytherin boys and Gryffindor girls made their way back up to the castle lightly talking about this and that.
They split up and whent to their sepperate tables upon entering the Great Hall. Damion and Draco made their way over to join the Slytherin court at their table.
"Hey guys. You okay, Dami, sweety?" Blaise asked when the boys sat down.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks Zabini." Damion smiled slightly at the girl's concern.
Blaise laughed, "You can call me Blaise, or Bini, or anything you want, just not Mariel or anything connected to it."
"Mariel?" Damion asked raising an eyebrow.
Draco laughed, "It's her middle name. Blaise Mariel Zabini. She hates it. Don't you Mariri."
Blaise reach across the table and smacked Draco on the shoulder. Damion laughed with the others as Draco silently pouted.
Millicent dropped into the seat next to Damion. "Hey guys! What did I miss?"
Pansy smirked, "Just introducing Damion, here, to the usual Slytherin court routine. You know, Dra calls Bini Mariri, Bini smacks Dra, we all laugh."
"Oh, then in that case, not much." She grins and turns to Damion, "Hey, Sorry I didn't get to meet you this morning, I'm not a morning person. You can call me Millicent, Millie, or whatever. Unlike our oh-so-sweet Bini I don't have a hang up on my middle name."
Damion laughed at this introduction. He was slowly starting to see that the Slytherins arent as horrible as everyone makes them out to be.
The rest of the day the gang spent getting to know their new member and letting him in on a few secrets about his new house. Dinner was spent in much the same manner as Lunch with them talking about everything and getting on well. They glared at the Gryffindors a bit, laughed at Snape's shocked and slightly angery face, and commented on how rediculous Dumbledore was. All in all it was an interesting day. And tomorrow was classes.
The twins were lounging on Draco's bed down in their dorm. Damion was telling Draco about life at the Dursleys. When he mentioned the time Fred and George dropped the Ten Tongue Toffee and Dudley ate it, Draco nearly fell off his bed laughing.
"Dra, you should have seen it! It just kept getting bigger and bigger!" Damion laughed, holding his stomach.
"Oh, man, I bet it was hilarious!" Draco paused, "Wait a minute! The Weasley twins! Hey, damion... What would you say to a little revenge on those idiots for this morning?" he grinned evilly.
"What are you-?" Damion caught on and grinned, "Brilliant! They're the top pranksters in the school! I'll talk to them in the morning."
Damion and Draco grinned as Damion climbed off of Draco's bed and into his own. The pulled the curtans closed as they did last night and lay there thinking of the jokes they could play with the Weasley Twin's help.
Draco closed his eyes, "'Night Dami. Sleep well."
Damion smiled then closed his eyes as well, "G'Night Dra Dra. Happy dreams."
The boys fell asleap in their usual curled up positions.
GML: Whoa. Finally finished. This chapter took more thought then I expected. I started it but had to put it on pause.
Draco: Are you going to tell them why you haven't updated in a while?
GML: Chill Dra! I will! I was just getting to it, Anyways, sorry about the long wait.
