"Draco, you scoundrel, you!", Marietta Edgecomb whispered, giggled and grabbed Draco's head to lead him to another passionate kiss.
Draco moaned and pulled her tiny body closer to his and he felt that second little Ravenclaw girl pull on his trousers and unfasten his belt. But he'd already forgotten her name. He knew that Blaise was interested in her, but Draco didn't mind. What Blaise didn't know would not upset him.
And anyway, why to care about him? Why to care about anyone else?
Draco just wanted to relax, used those girls as long as he liked to do and then he would throw them away. But he even wondered how often in the last few weeks he had to give his passion and lust free rein. But he just let it gladly happen. There were enough girls that were at his feet and he could easily seduce. He now even managed to get two of them! How could a man ever be more pleased?
He moaned as Marietta kissed him deep and as he felt that other girl's hands everywhere on his body.
Only for seconds he knitted his eyebrows and kissed Marietta with less passion back, but he soon managed to keep his remorse and rationality out of his mind. There was no way he would ever regret his actions.
He knew he was far away know from being a man with his childish behaviour, but they let him forget everything and that had always been his main purpose.
Draco closed his eyes and leaned his head back, as Marietta kissed his neck and caressed the most soft spots on his skin.
Why couldn't it be you?
Draco's body tensed and he clenched his fists to avoid him pushing that two girls away from him.
He had to stop thinking. He had thought that his old behaviour, his old way of living his life and even neglecting his new duties would ease his tempers. However, he still blanked out that he had to continue fixing that bloody cabinet and he feared the moment when his guilty conscience would bring him back to earth. But as long as he was able to enjoy himself, he would do it.
But he'd even got more and more mad. Everyone had still noticed that.
Pansy seemed to be the only one who didn't mind as he recently paid her more attention, even if he just preferred her body.
"Draco?"
The two girls hesitated and Draco grunted angrily. Who the hell would disturb him? He would never ever again get this chance!
Draco unwillingly looked into the direction where that question came from. Blaise stood there and stared at them open mouthed. But as soon as Blaise saw Draco returning his gaze, he shut his mouth and straightened himself up, as he saw that particular little Ravenclaw girl caressing the most intimate parts of his best friend.
Draco unintentionally felt his blood boil with new excitement and that even increased his passion.
Blaise still watched them disbelieving, but Draco just smirked at him, loosened his grip from Marietta's hip and stretched his hand out to Blaise.
"C'mon mate, join in!", he groaned with a dark voice, but Blaise just stood still where he was.
Marietta next to him giggled and continued to kiss him, that Ravenclaw girl just stared at Blaise if she just understood what she'd been doing. Draco laughed out loud and grabbed Marietta again and put his hand on her chest. Blaise looked as if he had just bitten in a sour lemon, but wasn't able to move.
"What's up Blaise? You're usually not very prudish!"
Draco laughed another time. Blaise didn't look very amused. He slowly backed away, with a most nauseated expression on his face.
"It is enough.", Blaise's voices sounded rasping.
Draco cocked his eyebrows, grabbed that little Ravenclaw girl and kissed her hard, ignoring her flinching and snogged her until she gave in and moaned against his lips.
Blaise turned around on his heels and tread down the corridor, his eager steps echoing on the slightly damp walls of the dungeons.
"Come on Blaise! Don't be a killjoy!", Draco shouted between some deep kisses.
What a friend! Draco panted heavily and grinned.
Suddenly he flinched once more. Should he really do this? Betray his friend that way? But there was no way back. He just decided to live his life as he did now and ought not to care about everything else.
"You've mused enough, Draco. Just move on.", Marietta gasped and smiled wickedly at him, and he just reckoned the thick make-up on her face to cover up the pimples, that formed that word 'sneak'. Last year she'd betrayed Potter's organization and a jinx of that bloody Granger disfigured her otherwise pretty face. But there was no face that could impress him anymore.
No girl, actually. But just that particular...
Shut it!
"You're right. If we don't, you'll probably miss your apparating-exam."
Just a few more minutes to calm Dracos emotions, to empty his mind, to forget.
"Oh I love you, Alanis Dumbledore!"
"Don't let Hermione hear that!", Alanis laughed and handed Ron his Transfiguration essay back, which she just had checked or better, completed.
"What should I not hear?", Hermione asked and joined Harry, Ron and Alanis as they made their way to the Great Hall. Ron blushed heavily and Alanis just shrugged.
The whole Hall was already filled with chatting and nervous students, who desperately tried to calm down and remember the three most important rules to apparate in the right way. But Harry and Alanis would not be able to join that exam, as they didn't already pass their seventeenth birthday.
"Good luck, you two!", Alanis and Harry said and headed down the dungeons to their potions lesson.
Just Ernie Macmillan sat there in the classroom, but Alanis knew that there was another student missing.
However, she already had decided not to care about Draco Malfoy anymore. Just forget him, Alanis. Slughorn welcomed Harry and Alanis with a big smile on his face, although it appeared to freeze as Harry smiled back.
"Today all of you will chose your favourite potion and brew it properly to be able to hand me a vial of it at the end of this double period! I will just take potluck with you! Hurry up!"
Alanis was just able to stare at Draco Malfoy, arm in arm entering the classroom with two Ravenclaw girls. They all looked quite disarranged, but flattered, the girl's cheeks were burning with a slight tone of rose and they looked quite exhausted. Draco Malfoy besides looked free and easy and had a smug smile on his face.
Draco quickly took that girl's leave and headed to his table, not mentioning anything to Professor Slughorn to excuse his tardiness.
Alanis felt her heart beat faster and she quickly lit the flame under her cauldron to begin to work. Suddenly she felt Harry squeezing her arm and as Alanis squinted to look back at him through the thick fumes which already emerged their cauldrons and she reckoned that she unexpectedly had to fight back her tears.
Why did that bloody moron still affect her that much? He was just a guy! Just a guy like everyone else!
"Is everything alright?", Harry asked and Alanis quickly nodded. She could not let it happen that Harry would recognize her feelings for that bloody moron. Or even her stupid task. And much worse, Malfoy's intention to kill the man that Harry loved so much.
If Draco would move on like he did now, she would never be able to discover what he was planning with that cabinet or how he would arrange to assassinate Dumbledore.
"I just can't decide whether I should brew a Forgetfulness Potion or the Elixir to Introduce Euphoria. I think both of them would serve me at the moment.", Alanis said sadly.
Harry grinned, but she could see him being really bothered about her sudden depressive mood.
"I'll take the Elixir, I think. You can brew the Forgetfulness Potion."
Alanis thankfully nodded, relieved to be able to dabble at that first year potion. Perhaps she would succeed for once.
But bearing that lesson was almost impossible. The last few weeks it was easy for her ignoring Malfoy during the lessons, but now with only four students in the classroom, she almost felt as if she sat right next to him.
Draco, besides, didn't put much effort in his potions work and rather passed the time with flipping that awful little black beans across the room which Alanis had tried so hard to cork up during her detention at Snape's. Ernie grunted as one of them hit his temple and the black liquid almost burnt a hole in his skin.
Slughorn didn't really pay attention to them, as he was still upset about Harry, because he had desperately wanted to persuade him to relinquish a memory about Tom Riddle that Harry needed for his personal lessons at Dumbledore's.
Slughorn therefore didn't invite Harry to his spring party, but Harry didn't mind it at all as he would have the time to spend the evening with Ginny. Finally they got together. And Hermione and Ron were better friends than ever. Why then, Merlin's beard, why didn't Alanis have that luck? Why wasn't she able to fall in love with normal guy, with someone who was not an evil git like Draco Malfoywas?
She was so hurt.
"Watch out!", Harry suddenly cried and quickly extinguished the flame of her cauldron as it was threatened to overflow. Thick blue steam took Alanis' breath and she had to cough.
Malfoy did still catch her attention that much, that she even wasn't able to take care of her boiling potion!
She threw a killing glance at Malfoy who just giggled so much that he almost fell off his stool.
Anyway, Harry was the only one succeeding and finishing his potion, but was just hardly able to impress Slughorn. He quickly shooed them away, as he intended to finish his preparations for the evening and reminded Alanis not to miss his party.
To her astonishment, Hermione and Ron were already waiting for them outside. Hermione embraced Alanis with a big smile on her face.
"I've passed!", she said happily, while Ron was definitely pissed, because he didn't pass the exam just because he left half of his eyebrow behind.
But Alanis smile faded away as she saw Pansy Parkinson, followed by Blaise Zabini, Millicent Bulstrode and even those trolls Crabbe and Goyle, wrapping her arms around Draco.
"I still wonder why, she has passed. I think that mudblood ogled at the examiner.", Pansy giggled and Ron, Harry and Hermione turned around.
Draco laughed out loud.
"She would hardly be able to catch his attention. A mudblood like her will never ever be as beautiful as you are!", he said, glancing deprecatingly at Hermione.
"Don't you even dare to compare Hermione to Parkinson!", Ron spat angrily and took some steps forward, while he reached out for his wand.
Draco cocked his eyebrows, while Alanis felt that she got sick.
"I reluctantly agree with you Weaselbee. There's no one worth to be compared with Pansy.", Draco answered and Alanis just thought she reckoned a little glimpse of him right into her direction.
"How do you bear that little mudblood, Weaselbee? Does she even taste like mud?", Draco asked and smirked, while Pansy and Millicent giggled.
Ron reddened and Harry tried hard to hold him back from lunging at Malfoy.
That was the last straw for Alanis.
"Just fuck off, Malfoy!", Alanis shouted angrily at him and Draco looked at her overtaken. His expression darkened, all of his malicious joy disappeared and he even looked quite baffled.
"No one asked you, Dumbledore.", he spat at her and Alanis was not able to return his gaze and looked into the face of Zabini.
"I think Pansy, I should give you the reward to you that you deserve for passing your examination."
Draco turned around, grabbed Pansy, kissing her passionately, and left.
Alanis panted heavily and disgusted, while Ron spat the worst name-calling profanities at Malfoy that Alanis had ever heard. But she still looked at Zabini, who curled up his lips in an amused smirk, but slightly rolled his eyes as he caught her looking at him.
Somehow she knew that Blaise was as insulted and upset about Draco's childish and ignoble behaviour as Alanis was. And she knew that he was just the only one she could ask to wake Malfoy up.
That spring party was the best opportunity to do so, because Harry and Ginny wouldn't be there, as much as Hermione wouldn't, because recently she loved to spend her free time with Ron.
Alanis would no longer let Malfoy show her his cold shoulder and she would not accept him throwing her as well as himself away like a filthy rag. She would not longer put up with everything.
