a/n- You know the drill, I no own you no sue. Ok thank you....
Once she was safely in her bed she began to process what just happened, now she was going to have to explain everything to Draco and that scared her. It was her business but she did know things about him so it's only fair that she tell him some things. But could he handle the things that she would tell him, she would find out tomorrow. She slowly fell asleep into a world of dreams that haunted her.
The next morning she didn't want to wake up or go to lessons but again there was no choice in the matter. She lazily got up and made her way to the bathroom and washed her face and brushed her teeth. She left the bathroom and went back to her room to get dressed, once she got dressed she went down to the common room. When she got downstairs Harry, Ron, and Hermione were waiting for her.
"It's about time we thought we were going to have to send Hermione up to get you, if you didn't wake up soon." Harry said.
"I really didn't feel like getting up at all, Snape made us clean his classroom top to bottom without magic. It took so long and then once we were finished we had to wait for Snape to come and dismiss us." Carmilla said tiredly.
"Today should be a fun day for you, hopefully you'll be able to stay awake." Ron said.
"Please I'll be lucky if I can keep my eyes open, the only thing I'll be seeing is the insides of my eyelids. If I start to dose someone feel free to wake me up I have a feeling I'll be dosing a lot today" Carmilla said with a yawn.
"Well we better get going if we want to eat breakfast" Hermione said
"Hopefully I won't fall asleep in my eggs I'm that tired I actually might"
They all went down to the great hall to eat, when they got there Carmilla noticed a certain slytherin that looked just as tired as her. When she walked in her gaze was met by Draco's and smiled not a cocky smile but a nice smile. Lucky no one noticed the smile that was exchanged between them, she sat down at the gryffindor table. Breakfast suddenly appeared in front of them and they began to eat, she ate a little bit of eggs and toast then lost her appetite once she realized that her first class was potions. After she was done eating everyone was talking around her, she laid her head down on the table to take a quick nap before class. She didn't even realize she was in such a deep sleep until Harry was shaking her awake .
"Come on it's time for Potions class you kind of have to wake up for this. I know that Snape wouldn't like it if one of his students were to fall asleep mid-lesson." Harry said.
"This sucks really bad plus I have detention again so you know I'm not getting any sleep again tonight, lord only knows what Snape has in store for me" Carmilla said while stifling a yawn.
They all made their way down to the dungeons, when they arrived at Snape's classroom they all quickly took their seats. Snape finally sauntered in and addressed the class.
"Everyone please turn to page three hundred and forty nine for today's lesson we will be making veriserum its a truth potion, If one drinks it they will tell the truth about everything that is asked of them. Now everyone gather your ingredients well I pair you off." Snape said. Everyone groaned that meant he would pair you up with someone that you necessarily didn't like. Which meant that the their was a lot of arguing going on all around the classroom. What was to be expected when you mixed slytherins and gryffindors.
"Let's see Potter you'll work with Malfoy, Weasley with Bulstrode, Granger with Goyle, Brown with Crabbe and last but not least Hannigan with Parkinson." Once everyone heard who they working with the room was filled with groans and curses under breath. Everyone begrudgingly made their ways to their partners. Now Carmilla was totally awake, the realization hit her she was going to have to work with Parkinson all period. Not only that but she was going to have to be insulted the entire time. This can't get any worse, usually with Carmilla though when things can't get any worse they usually will though.
"I hope you don't think that I'm going to come and sit over there you filthy little half blood, you'll have to come to me." Parkinson sneered. This was going to be a long class as she made her way over to Parkinsons' table. "I hope you plan on getting the ingredients because I'm not, I don't do manuel labor"
"Funny it looks like you could use a little manual labor to get some exercise" Carmilla mumbled as she got up and went to get the ingredients.
All she wanted to do was get through this class without flipping out on Parkinson and getting more detentions from Snape but somehow that seemed like a hard thing to do right now. When she went up to the table Draco seemed like he was taking more time than needed to get his ingredients.
"Are we still going to talk after lessons in the library" Draco asked quietly so that no one would hear him.
"Yeah right after the last lesson meet me in the back of the library." Carmilla whispered
With her answer he left and went back to his table with Harry. Carmilla went back to her table and started to prepare the ingredients since it looked like Pansy wasn't going to do much all period. As long as she didn't talk Carmilla didn't have any problem doing the entire potion herself as long as she didn't have to put up with Pansy's mouth.
"Try to not mess this potion up like you did the last one" Pansy sneered.
"What are you talking about?"
"That's why you got in trouble and you took my poor Draco with you" Pansy said. The thoughts that were running through Carmilla's mind were screw the whole mess of detentions she was going to get from Snape she had to put this girl in her place no matter what it cost.
"For your information you are misinformed you little obnoxious over bearing pain in the ass, I got detention because I made the potion perfectly, None of us were supposed to, he didn't give us any real vampire blood. If you were smart enough you would have realized that. But I guessyour to thick in the head to know that,now why don't you pull yourself out of Draco's ass since he doesn't want anything to do with you and then maybe you would get a little bit smarter." By now everyone in the class was staring at them.
"Detention, Miss Hannigan" Snape bellowed from his desk.
"But..." Carmilla stuttered.
"Not another word, if you haven't noticed your mouth gets you into a lot of trouble" Snape leered.
"But professor" said a voice. Everyone turned to who spoke and their were quite a few shocked looks on their face. It was Draco.
"Technically she didn't do anything wrong she didn't yell or swear, she just corrected Miss Parkinson" Draco said with a smirk.
"Well Mr. Malfoy since you want to be so technical you can join her with another detention."
After the little spectacle in potions' class not one person uttered another word throughtout the rest of the class. Everyone finished their potion while stealing glances from Carmilla to Draco giving them curious looks as to why Draco spoke up to defend her. Well most of the class, Pansy just shot daggers at the back of Draco's head and gave dirty looks to Carmilla.
Once the class was over everyone bottled their potion in a flask and left it on Snape's desk. Once out of Snape's class Carmilla couldn't hold it in anymore." I'm going to spend the rest of my afterschool life in detention, I don't understand what he has against me." Carmilla whined.
"Don't feel bad he picks on all gryffindors, you more than anyone. It's like he has it in for you" Ron said.
"Thank you Ron I'm glad to see your keen sense of perception is working properly" Carmilla said sarcastically.
"No need to be nasty" Harry said.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to snap it's just so frustrating it's the only class that I just can't keep my mouth shut. If someone is going to say something to me I'm going to say something back. I'm not going to just sit there and take it. At the rate I'm going I'll be in detention until I graduate." Carmilla said.
"You just have to learn to control your temper and ignore everything so that you won't get yourself into trouble believe me, we all learned that a long time ago" Harry said.
"What got me was Malfoy I almost hit the floor when he said something and it wasn't even to instigate, he actually defended you" Ron said skeptically.
"Didn't do him much good he got another detention with Snape" Carmilla said nonchalantly.
"Yeah but you have to admit it was odd for him to say something when Snape started with you. It's not like Malfoy to be nice at least not by choice." Harry said suspiciously.
"He has to be up to something, Malfoy has never been nice not through the entire time we've been in school together" Hermione said.
"You never know people can change, did you ever think of that" Carmilla said.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. "Its true people can change but Malfoy is not one of those people" Harry said carefully.
"That's not very fair, how can you judge him from past experiences you can't hold a grudge. I've learned at least that once you start holding grudges you just become bitter and miserable. Then no one will want to be around you" Carmilla said sadly.
"I suppose your right but its still Malfoy we're talking to about he will never change he thinks he's better than everyone else just because he's from a pureblooded wizarding family." Harry said.
"But Ron aren't you a pureblood?" Carmilla asked.
"Yeah but I wasn't brought up with Lucius Malfoy as my father" Ron said.
"Malfoy's father has to be the worst parent everyone knows he's a death eater for Voldemort" Hermione said
"I've heard of Voldemort he's seems like one of the evilest people right now" Carmilla said.
"One of the evilest, he's the evilest person right now" Harry said.
"I can think of a few people who are right there in the most evilest department." Carmilla said.
That last comment made Harry, Ron,and Hermione puzzled they all wondered who could be as evil as Voldemort or even worse, someone that's more evil than Voldemort. So many questions ran throuh their minds, there was so much that they didn't know about this girl. She never once spoke about her father and hardly ever said anything about her mother. She never divulged any information about herself she kept everything to herself like she was afraid. Everyone figured that over time she would open up and talk, they all hoped.
Reviews are appreciated and plus they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...:0)
