Hailey sat there frightened. Just looking up at Lucius and trying to look as guilty as ever. She didn't understand and could not stand being treated like this.
"Dad, put your wand down…she has done nothing wrong" stated Draco.
"Shut it Draco, I don't even know how you could stand this, this mud blood" shouted Lucius.
"Mr. Malfoy, there is no need fo…"was all that Dumbledore could get out before Lucius started again.
"Now, now…we wouldn't need anything happening to your family, now would we? Remember what we told each other. You let me handle this non-sense and I will let you live your life" commented Lucius.
"I remember what we talked about, but this is going far enough!" shouted Dumbledore as he stood up from where he was sitting and held his wand up to Lucius. "Now put down your wand and leave this girl and Draco go to the rest of the feast!"
Lucius slowly lowered his wand and glared at Dumbledore then Hailey. At this point all Hailey wanted to do was cast a spell on Lucius that would put him in a coma for the rest of his life, or a spell that would make him live a slow and painful death. Hailey began to cast an evil grin upon her face.
"What are you smirking at, little girl" asked Lucius?
"Nothing of your business, so just stay out of it, got it…good" said Hailey.
Draco just stood there and stared at her in amazement. He was impressed with her bravery to stand up to his father, which even Draco could not find in himself.
As Hailey started to walk out of the room, Lucius…acting like a lame four year old, put out his leg and tripped Hailey. That didn't help Lucius's mood because all that happened was that she fell onto her knees, but Draco helped her back up. So once Hailey got back up and started walking again she looked back and gave a little look that said "Ha, I win…once again!"
"Listen, I am really sorry about my father, he is always like that, but usually toward Potter or the Weasly's…or Herminie" said Draco.
"That's alright I guess, but it seems like he would be the kind of parent that abused his child or children. Draco, I want to know the truth…does your father hurt you" questioned Hailey while looking deep in to Draco's eyes.
"I can't talk about it with you right now, but why don't we meet in the Slytherin common room and we can talk there. Does that work with you? I can get everyone to clear the room while we talk…just us two. No one else. How about it?" Draco said compassionately.
"I would like that, but…Gryffindor is not allowed to be in the Slytherin common room, right? I mean…what if we get caught?" asked Hailey
"Hum…your right, I have a plan" started Draco, "Okay, stay here and I am going to go back to the common room, don't worry…I will bring you back a Slytherin Outfit…everything will be fine."
