Intrusions and Sackings
With my head still reeling from that kiss, I laid down next to Kadie. She and I shared a bed. I am sure she told Minerva we slept in separately, but whatever.
I had slipped out of my jeans and tee shirt. I pulled out my wand from my messy bun and went to sleep with loose strands. I cuddled up to my friend and felt my body fall into a deep sleep.
But Kadie and I did not stay asleep for long.
It felt like I had just closed my eyes when curses and screams shocked my from sleep. I rolled over quickly for my wand. A snap of my fingers and the torches were lit.
I rolled back over, expecting to lay over Kadie protectively. But there was no on there. My mind went blank.
"Here." her soft voice came from below. I peered over the edge of the bed. I nearly died laughing silently.
Kadie, in her shorts and loose shirt, was straddling Draco, her wand cutting off blood flow to his head. Draco held his hands by his head to show himself unarmed. He was scared shitless.
"This fucking asshole copped a feel and stole a kiss." she growled, her eyes never leaving his face. I lay prone on the bed and propped my head up with a hand.
Pity. Draco, I've heard she is killer in bed. Too bad you didn't get the chance.
I wrote in the air with my wand. I threw him a seductive wink.
"Could you be so kind as to call her off, please?" I saw him visibly gulp.
I tapped her shoulder. She rose slowly and climbed into the bed, without taking her eyes off of him.
I would leave now. She is fairly deadly when she is pissed off.
After he processed the words from my wand, he scampered off. I pulled Kadie down and we fell asleep holding each other.
Draco Vision:
"That," I panted; "was snogging." my voice was hoarse from lust. My chest was heavy under her warm hands.
Henria's face broke into a smile. Her eyes were bright. My heart was hammering. She made it very hard to not shag her. Her eyes were cinnamon brown. They still fascinated me.
Her long, chocolate brown hair was falling out of her bun, but that made her look even more appealing. Henria's pouty, pink lips were red and swollen. Something stirred in my belly. All I wanted to do was kiss those lips again.
"Good night, Sownbinder." I bade her with a smirk and I left her, leaning against the wall, thoroughly snogged.
But, as I lay in my bed, my thoughts did not stop. Her supply form sent tingles through my fingers. Feeling her warm body pressed against mine sent waves of electricity through my being. Her taste was intoxicating.
I scrubbed my face. All these thoughts were making me frustrated. I flipped over on my stomach. That was uncomfortable, so I rolled to my side. I could not be more uncomfortable. So, I fell over on my back. I let out a heavy sigh.
I remember that Katie girl telling McGonagall her and Henria slept in separate beds. I knew where her bed was. I had, after all, seen her room before. Her bed was in front of the bathroom door. Maybe I could persuade her to come to my room.
Going along this train of thoughts, I crept into the bathroom, making sure not to make any noise. I slowly opened her door, not making a sound. I heard the soft breathing of two sleeping young ladies. I padded quietly to the side closest to the door. I found the faint outline of a girl's body.
I placed a hand on what I assumed, correctly I might add, was a hip. My fingers traced her waist and up her side. I could feel her breathing under my touch. My fingers grazed the side of her breast. I am a male; I could not resist the urge. My fingers caressed the firm mound, bringing waves of electricity up my arm. She really was right; I do admire an excellent set of breasts.
I felt her stir slightly, moaning quietly. I felt my lips slip into a small smirk. One last squeeze and I ran my hand up her chest and to the base of her throat. I rested my hand, gently, there, my thumb rubbing the soft flesh. I slowly bent my frame and lowered my lips to hers.
And when out lips met, I realized I had made a grave mistake.
"Mmph!" the foreign lips under mind gave a muffled scream.
I jerked my body away. My cheeks ablaze with humiliation. I realized the mystery girl was stirring, shaking sleep from her mind.
"What the hell?" she shouted, not in Henria's voice. I recognized it to be Katie's.
"I...I..." my thoughts were blocked.
"Who the fuck are you?" her voice still raised.
"Um...Dra-" my body was hit with something solid.
We landed on the floor, her straddling my waist and something hard jabbed in my neck. I brought my hands up, in an 'I surrender' position. I think I am going to die.
The torches ignited. I saw Katie's pale face, scrunched in fury, scowling at me. Her intense gaze made me pale. It looks could kill, Katie would have done so.
"Here." she called softly to Henria, a stark contrast to her features. I saw Henria's worried face poke over the edge of the bed. Her eyes shifted to amusement as she processed the scene.
She shook with silent laughter. Her mirth did not help me feel better.
"This fucking asshole copped a feel and stole a kiss." Katie growled in my face, her eyes continued to burn my eyes in their sockets. Henria propped her head with a hand. Her elbow resting on the bed.
iPity. Draco, I've heard she is killer in bed. Too bad you didn't get the chance./i
She wrote in the air with her wand. After my eyes landed on her face again, she threw me a pretty tempting wink.
"Could you be so kind to call her off, please?" I swallowed my fear.
Henria reached down and touched Katie's shoulder. I felt her weight start to lift off of me slowly. Her eyes were locked on mine. She brought her tiny form next to Henria. Katie's eyes were dark green. Green like she wanted to Avada me.
I would leave now. She is fairly deadly when she is pissed off.
My mind registered the words. The look in Katie's eyes alone was murderous. I really did not want to chance my luck. The last time I did that, Henria marred my face with bruises and cuts.
So, pride aside, I picked myself up and quick stepped it out of her room.
Henria Vision:
You've been what?
"Henria, things are not going to be good. I need you to be alert and vigilant. Severus will be Headmaster and Professors who were loyal to your uncle have been sacked as well. They are bringing Death Eaters to teach you." Minerva's tone was rushed and breathless, "They've changed the syllabus. Henria, I need you to remember everything you were ever taught. Look out for the younger students."
Why were you sacked?
I felt Kadie's hand tighten on my shoulder. Her expression was her scared angry face. My stomach was in knots.
"The Ministry felt I was inadequate. Henria, promise me you will defend and protect this school." Minerva looked ready to cry. I have never thought this stoic woman would ever cry. I was going to try my damnedest to make sure that did not happen.
You have my word.
"Try to stay out of trouble. I don't want to imagine what they would do to you." a swish and flick, she levitated her trunk of belongings onto a trolley, "I am going to sort you now. Accio Hat!"
A wrinkly ugly piece of leather came zooming by. The pointy top told me wizard's hat. Minerva handed it to me. I looked at her skeptically.
"Just put it on." Kadie hissed impatiently. I sighed.
My, my. Aren't you a ball of fury? Someone with some spitfire. You certainly are expressive. Brave, rash, reckless, smart and so powerful. I don't think I have ever felt this much power coursing through my stitches in a fairly long time. Where do you belong?
Slytherin. I belong in Slytherin. I'm cunning. I just have a moral compass. A pity really.
"Slytherin it is!" the Hat said out loud. Minerva gasped.
"Henria, what have you done?" Kadie roared. I flinched. I do not think she had ever raised her voice like that to me. I stepped back.
In Slytherin, I can keep an eye on the students who are being bullied into slavery. Plus, Death Eater professors would never take house points from me.
"Or, this all could back fire!" Kadie was still yelling at me. I flinched again.
Or, it could all back fire. At least I can say I tried.
Kadie burst into tears. Her sobs shook her whole body. My heart broke in two. All I could think to do was hold her.
So that is what I did.
I engulfed her in my arms. Molding my body to hers. Pressing her head to my chest. My other hand was splayed out on the middle of her back, pressing her tightly to me. Her sobs shook my body.
"Be careful, Henria." Minerva whispered. I met her eyes over Kadie's head and nodded.
And that was the last I saw of Minerva McGonagall.
"Good morning students." a slimy drawl echoed off the quiet walls of the Great Hall. A few mumbles of 'Good morning' were drowned by the deafening silence, "As you all are aware now, Headmaster McGonagall has been asked to step down. After much consideration, she accepted and I have been appointed Headmaster for the foreseeable future."
Whispers erupted. I turned to Kadie and her back was rigid. The only movement coming from her was heavy breathing. I placed a hand on the crook of her arm. Her shoulders relaxed a little.
"We also have some new professors. He me welcome Professors Alecto and Amycus Carrows. Your new Muggle Studies and Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, respectfully." All the air flew out of my chest. I felt like I had been punched in the gut.
Kadie drew in a deep, long breathe. I watched her square her shoulders. I turned to Draco who had been avoiding contact with her. He was watching curiously. His eyes slid over to mine, curiosity melted into fear. I gave him a small, reassuring wink.
My eyes traveled to the Gryffindor Table. I saw a familiar shade of red resting against a shoulder. Ginny's silent sobs were trying to be comforted by Neville's murmurings. And my heart broke, not quite healed from the heart break two days ago.
"You lying, traitorous bastard!" all eyes snapped to my short friend. My pulse began to quicken. iOh, shit./i
"Excuse me, Miss Hunter?" Headmaster Snape gave her a piercing look. I shuddered, but Kadie just stood up slowly.
"You heard me." her voice strong. I started tugging on her hand, "You are a lying, traitorous bastard." Oh Merlin's pants, she is going to be killed.
I quickly stood up and grasped handfuls of her robes. I lifted her around and began pushing her out of the Hall. Kadie was not one to just blatantly forgo fighting.
"You are a prick! A rat bastard! You are a De-" I clamped a hand tightly on her mouth.
When we entered the hallway, she roughly yanked her body from my grasp. Her normally brown eyes were now forest green orbs. Those were only reserved for someone who truly pissed her off. I decided to detour a hissy fit.
"Run." my voice was gravely. Mainly from being unused. Kadie's eyes widened, "Run away."
