Astoria´s POV
I loved being at the study hour, especially when I was with Mildred, she was really funny. I was submerged in my Narnia book when she began tapping my elbow, until I raised my head and say Draco furiously entering the room.
Told you! - she whispered, as she hid behind her book. Then Draco finally approached us
Leave me your seat , now, move!– he ordered, as Mildred stood up, while I begged her with my eyes to stay.
What were you saying about my father? He asked, furious, his eyes dazzling in anger as he sat next to me.
OK, I admit it. I´d heard Mr. Weasley say some terrible things about the Malfoy family, and when Ivan asked me about them, I naturally spoke. There was no reason why I should lie. Besides, it was nothing new, everyone knew about the relation between Lucius Malfoy and the one who must not be named.
I said nothing but what everybody knows! - I sated angrily, he was no one to treat me that way.
What everybody knows? Who the hell is everybody!- He asked furiously.
Everybody! - I replied, starting to freak out with his behavior.
That´s not an answer! I bet you just made that stuff up! - He yelled, punching the table.
Why would I make something like that up, huh? - I asked just as upset. Who did he think he was?
I don´t know! Because you´re a freaking pervert! - He answered, with face all red in anger.
I am no pervert! And you have no right to insult me like that! - I yelled back, as my face got red too.
We were both furiously staring at each other, his face was red, and he clenched his teeth while mumbling things like "stupid" and "nonsense" when McGonagall showed up in front of us.
Perhaps the two of you would prefer to study over making this noise, right? - She asked, with her eyes as harsh as always.
I would prefer going to Mars over hearing whatever you have to say- Draco insolently said, at first I thought that to me, but then I realized he was looking at McGonagall in the eyes.
Fine Mr. Malfoy, then you can go straight to the Headmaster´s- she stated, with calm I thought impossible. Malfoy just arghhed and then glared me.
Have it your way, jerk! - I said to him, as I turned back to my reading.
Feel free to join him, Miss Greengrass- she said, as widened her arm, asking me to leave.
I opened my eyes widely as I stood up and left the library, in a rage. I couldn´t believe I just got kicked out because of him! Pansy was right, he was quite problematic, and she was stupid for loving someone like him. As soon as I found myself in the hallways, where he was, I walked towards him.
This is all your fault- I stated, putting up my head as I glared him.
My fault? I´m not the one who´s saying bullyshit about others to my Durmstrang boyfriend! Besides, calling me a jerk wasn´t helpful either - he coldly replied.
Ivan is not my boyfriend! And you ARE a jerk Malfoy! - I yelled, punching him. He smiled in mockery to my words, as if I´d said something funny.
Well, I don´t know about you, but I´m NOT going to Dumbledore´s- he said, as he walked away, still smiling.
You can´t avoid going to Dumbledore´s, you heard McGonagall! - I yelled as I ran towards him. No way was he going to get points taken from Slytherin.
I can do whatever I want, besides, Dumbledore´s too busy taking care of Potter´s champion ass, and I don´t think Snape would care, so I´m off- he added, as he turned to the next hallway.
Now you listen to me! We are going to go to Dumbledore´s, and stay out of trouble! - I furiously yelled as I chased him through the hall way.
No! You listen to me! I don´t want detention, and I don't want detention for you either, I had enough in my first year, so stop arguing, for Salazar´s sake! - He yelled back, opening his eyes widely, as he waved his hands desperately.
I was about to in fact argue back, when we heard some steps coming through the hallway, and before I had any time to react, Draco pulled my arm and ran through the hallway until we entered the first door we found.
What are you doing? - I whispered, as I pulled him away. We were in the Prefect´s bathroom.
Avoiding detention, and shut up if you want the same! - He whispered back, as he sat in the floor. What the hell was he doing? Was he going to stay here until next class? I found unbelievable the calm he showed in all of this, what if we got caught?
Malfoy, let´s get out before anyone finds us! - I angrily stated, when once more, steps approached the bathroom. We both stared at each other, my eyes were yelling, now what, brilliant?
Too late- he whispered, as he once more dragged me inside a cabinet and locked the door faster than you can say "Tarantallegra".
We both heard the door being opened, someone walking in, a wash basin being opened, and then the idiot reached the door and started peeking, I tapped his shoulder and made a "are you crazy?" sign, which he replied with a "shhh" sign. I rolled my eyes, trying to pull him back, but instead his left foot fell in the toilet, and I made enormous efforts not to burst out laughing, as he glared me, his face red once more. Finally the watery sound quieted, and the door was closed.
You idiot! Why did you do that?- He yelled furiously, as he stared at his foot.
I´m sorry! I just…you were going to...I´m sorry!- I could barely reply, because my laughter was unstoppable.
You better be! - He stated, as the red in his face turned white again.
What do you suggest we do now, genius? - I asked, crossing my arms. This could happen again of we didn´t go away fast. He turned blankly to me, as I tapped my toes. He suddenly got paler, and he passed from calmed to serious to frightened in like, 5 seconds.
I suggest, that both of you accompany me to my office, Miss Greengrass- I heard Snape´s unmistakable voice behind me, as I epically facepalmed and glared Malfoy, who just stood there like an idiot.
Finally Snape invited us to follow him, as I glared Malfoy like I´d never glared anyone before, I hated him so much right now, I´d never had detention before in my life! He just stared at Snape´s footsteps, completely unable to raise his head and face me. The way to the dungeons had never seemed that long, and I just kept wondering what was going to happen next, were they going to owl my parents or something! This was HIS fault!
Finally, we made it to Snape´s office, where he asked us both to sit down.
I heard you are not very fond of working with blast-ended skrewts, right Mr. Malfoy? - He asked in his signature tone of voice, as Malfoy jus grew paler.
Of course I´m not! Those things are disgusting! Way below my dignity!- He immediately replied, wrinkling his nose in disgust, as I had no clue of what those were, but I pictured that since Malfoy hated them, his detention was going to be about them, and mine, about well, potions.
Well, you and Miss Greengrass will be in charge of them this afternoon, thank Professor McGonagall for this, now, get out of my office- he stated, kicking us out, as I opened my eyes widely in surprise. Perfect! I was just not having detention, but I was having it with Draco Malfoy. Pansy was going to flip out.
As we walked out the office, I noticed that he just opened his mouth trying to say something, but failed, his blonde hair was now all messy, his cheeks super red, and his left foot all wet. Then I reminded myself that he´d earned it, for being such an idiot. An idiot who besides, had dragged me into this!
You have no idea of how much I hate you right now!- I yelled at him, before I ran away, as he just stood there with a face that had all the emotions, anger, surprise, disappointment, and a slight smile struggling to come out, why in the name of Merlin was he smiling?
Draco´s POV
Pansy, I have to go- I said, as I pushed her away.
Can´t you just skip that stupid detention? - She asked, pulling my hair back.
No- I answered, of course I could! But I just didn´t want to, I mean, how many detentions with Astoria was I ever going to have?
Pansy just rolled her eyes and let go off me. I left the common room as she annoyingly waved good bye with her hand. I walked as fast as I could, because Astoria was for sure going to be upset if I got there late. Where was she anyway? She was supposed to be making her way there too, because she obviously wasn´t bad-ass enough to skip that detention.
Before I noticed, I was a few steps from Hagrid´s cabin, 10 minutes earlier than established. I sat in a rock, and patiently waited for her to appear. For a few minutes, I thought she was actually going to skip detention, but then I saw the reason of her delay.
She wore her robe, boots and a coat, since winter was approaching. Her brown hair, except for a small lock that was gathered by a silver clasp, undulated with the cold wind. Along her walked that annoying Durmstrang boy, who wore his ridiculous uniform and apparently scolded her, probably for the detention matter. Both stopped and he offered her his scarf, which she impatiently accepted before saying good bye with a kiss on the cheek. She finally ran towards me as he walked away.
Not your boyfriend, huh? - I sated quite upset. She couldn´t just come and scrub it in my face! She just glared me as she tangled the scarf around her neck.
You are not going to talk to me? - I asked, as I raised my eyebrows and stole the scarf. She immediately tried to take it back, but I just tangled it in her neck again, laughing.
I don´t find this funny, at all! - She yelled, really upset.
Greengrass, this is going to be an all evening event, and I´m trying to play it nice- I replied, raising my arms in surrender. She just glared me and sat down as she started to play with the threads that hung from the bottom of the scarf. I couldn´t help but to find her completely cute when she was upset, the way she frowned and wrinkled her nose was unique.
Finally that thing showed up with a wide box, he was apparently more than happy to have me in detention again.
What you´ll be doing with the skrewts is the following, you are going to release them, and watch them for a while. Then you must feed them, and put them back in the box. Don´t worry Astoria, Mr. Malfoy´s got plenty of experience with these- he said, smiling at Astoria, who just stared at him in disgust. Geez I just loved that expression!
Fine, I have to go, good luck!- he said, before he made his way to the Beauxbatons carriage.
I walked towards the box, and opened it to find those things twice as big as I´d left them the last time I saw them, as she walked towards the box and peeked, screaming.
Pretty gross, right? - I asked, smirking.
Well, you can handle them- she replied, as she victoriously smiled, and closed the box.
By that you mean….. - I said, raising my eyebrows, as she laughed.
That you are doing all the work, while I polish my nails- she answered, as she sat back down and started playing with the threads once more.
What? Have you gone mad? - I immediately reacted, frowning.
No, I´ve gone fair. I´m here because YOU got us kicked out! And YOU, literally, dragged me into running away, so YOU should do all the job- She simply stated, taking out a small book from her right pocket.
Well, you´re just as responsible as I am! YOU told HIM terrible things about my father, what did you expect me to do? - I asked, crossing my arms, if she wasn´t doing a thing, me neither. We were both just as guilty.
We already discussed that! - She answered, frowning too.
Admit you´re just as guilty as I am! - I yelled, pissed off. Apparently we both had a talent to upset each other.
Fine, can we just take those out now? The sooner the faster- she replied, as she kept her book and joined me.
We opened the boxes (she made all the imaginable faces of disgust) and I started carrying out one of the skrewts, but as soon as she tried to touch one, it nearly exploded, because she´d attempted to grab it´s tale (I just guessed that was the tale). She just shook her head and once more tried, failing, jumping before the thing caused an explosion.
Are you retarded? Don´t grab it like that! - I immediately yelled as soon as I saw she was just fine, she´d scared me to death! She just glanced me before she tried once more, but I pulled her away, unable to even allow her risk herself again.
Seriously, move, you´re useless- I ordered, as she just closed the box and sighed, rubbing her arms to warm up, making me realize how cold it was.
A few minutes later, all the skrewts were out of the box, as she just stood terrified behind a giant pumpkin. I approached her and tapped her shoulder.
And now, it´s up to you to feed them- I said, smiling widely. The face she made was priceless!
I´m joking! Wait here while I go get something to feed them- I finally added, laughing, as I walked away.
Nobody truly knew what those ate, so I wandered through the forest for a couple of minutes, looking for something to feed them with, but suddenly, SPLAT! I fell on a whole someone (a very stupid person, I must add) had made on the floor.
As soon as I stood up I realized that that wasn´t an ordinary whole, it was a peep- hole! Who the hell had the brilliant idea to put a freaking peep-hole on the middle of the forest!I breathed deep and tried not to flip out. I illuminated my wand and examined the hole, it was pretty deep, and the walls were made of stone. Maybe a simple ascendio could fix this….
Malfoy? ….Malfoy? …Where are you! ….Let me tell you, if this is a joke, it´s not fun, at all!- I heard her call me, quite desperate.
Listen, I´m here, there´s a peep-hole in the ground so watch your st…- SPLAT! I was no longer by myself. She fell in the speed o lightning, on her knees, as I immediately ran towards her.
Are you OK? - I asked, quite concerned, offering my hand, which she immediately accepted.
I´m fine - she replied, cleaning the dirt of her clothes and knees.
What? What the hell is this? - She asked, as she examined the room.
It´s clearly a peep-hole, that someone very stupid made here- I annoyingly answered, stating the obvious.
We heard some noises outside, as we both raised our heads towards the ceiling.
Hey! We´re right here!- She eagerly yelled, receiving no reply. Then, the noises grew louder, and all like that, the exit was now covered by a giant stone.
Great, just great!- I added, as she desperately hit the walls.
What are we going to do now, genius? - She asked, frowning.
Are you suggesting that this is MY fault? Again? - I asked, frowning back, seriously, was she going to blame me for absolutely everything that went wrong?
Of course! Who was stu….silly enough to fall down here? - She yelled, kicking the wall.
I remind you that you fell as well! - I answered angrily, as she just sat down on the floor and covered her face.
I hate you!- She muttered, as she started sobbing. Oh no, please! I hated it when she cried! Because I felt completely useless and stupid. I shivered with her crying, making me notice that it was way colder than outside.
I lost track of time inside there, I had no idea if it had been minutes, or hours. Each minute it just got colder and colder, and we were both frightened. She´d stopped crying minutes ago, now she was just shivering, and she could barely keep her eyes opened. I was more frightened by her state that by the fact of being trapped here.
Draco, do you think someone´s going to find us?- I heard her say, stuttering. I immediately ran towards her, and sat next to her, now I was sure she was no longer upset.
I ´m sure- I replied, attempting to smile, but she was way too pale, trembling, all I wanted to do was just hug her, but I wasn´t sure about how she was going to react.
We remained silent for a long while, until she leaned her head on my shoulder, and I realized she was falling asleep. She was extremely cold, and my common sense told me that it was going to be no good for her to sleep.
Grengrass, Grengrass!- I called, but she no longer replied.
Greengrass!- I yelled, as she shivered in surprise.
You have to stay awake, okay?- I asked, separating her hair from her face. I just have to say that it was softer than I imagined.
I, I can´t- she whispered, leaning on me again. I tried to pull her apart, but I was just terrified when I realized she´d fainted, and all I could do was panic.
Astoria! Come on! Get up…please, please, Astoria!- I muttered as I slapped her cheeks, but nothing happened.
Astoria!- I yelled, frightened, what was I meant to do now? I just hugged her and held her for a time that seemed forever, as tears showed up in my eyes, she was right, this was my entire fault.
Astorria, arre you arrround herre? Astorria?- I heard a miraculous voice finally said. I hated him, but right now, his Bulgarian ass was highly appreciated.
Hey, right here! We´re trapped!- I yelled at the top of my lungs, as I heard him come forwards and finally saw the rock being moved, showing the sight of the night sky, no wonder he was so worried!
Ascendio! - He yelled, as Astoria and I were finally thrown to the surface.
She fainted! - I yelled, finally letting all my panic out. He immediately stole her from my arms and carried her, as she slowly woke up.
Arre you alrright?- he asked, but she just smiled and leaned in his chest. OK, his ass was no longer appreciated; the way back to the castle never seemed longer.
Hope you enjoyed! Guess who trapped them! I think the answer is quite obvious. Hope you liked it, hugs n butterfly kisses!
