Okay, so I actually had someone read through this before uploading it. That's a first. If I thought trying to write a story while in high school was bad, then college is even worse. But here's chapter 5!
Disclaimer is in the first chapter. Elizabeth, Hades, and anything that does not occur naturally in Harry Potter is mine. Unless I state otherwise.
Thanks to Golden Dragon Girl for proof reading my stuff.
"DRACO! HARRY! GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN HERE!" Elizabeth yelled from the common rooms. She gave the boys twenty minutes to get ready, and it had been close to forty-five instead.
"Give us a minute El!" Harry shouted back. Elizabeth sighed loudly at them. Whoever said girls took longer to get ready was sorely mistaken. She heard two sets of footsteps coming from the rooms upstairs, then Draco and Harry came bounding into the common room.
"Well, we're here. Now what are we doing?" Draco asked in a calm voice. Elizabeth motioned for them to sit on the couch across from the chair she was sitting in. The three took their seats while she offered them tea like a good host of this idea, which both graciously accepted.
"We're going to have a get know each other party." Elizabeth announced happily.
"What!" Both boys shouted at the same time.
"You heard me." Elizabeth warned. What they did not know was that her plan was already taking place.
"I'm just going to ask a few questions then compare answers." Elizabeth explained.
"I don't like where this is going, but okay." Harry agreed. He honestly did not want to get on Elizabeth's bad side. It was not a pleasant experience, though he wouldn't mind seeing Draco end up on that side of her. Draco nodded stoically, being all snooty and Malfoy like.
"What's your favorite color?" Elizabeth started. She thought it might just be smarter to start with easier questions that third years can answer without fighting.
"Silver." Draco answered.
"Green." Harry responded. The boys glared at each other, giving each other the evil eye.
"Well mine is pink or black. I can't pick," Elizabeth smiled, "now, what's your favorite thing to do?"
"Make potions."
"Play Quidditch."
"Well, I like to read or dance." Elizabeth told the two boys. Draco smirked, at least the girl had a fair amount of intelligence and skill. Elizabeth was watching the boys' hair closely. She was not lying when she said pranks were for girls.
"Do either of you have a question?" Elizabeth asked. Harry shook his head. He did not want to know anything about Draco and knew everything about Elizabeth. Elizabeth sighed again at how dense her brother was being. Could he not act like a Hufflepuff for four seconds?
"What's your biggest fear?" Draco asked. Elizabeth thought for a moment. She did not fear a lot. Not even Voldemort.
"Dementors." Harry suddenly burst out. He covered his mouth as quickly as the words left his mouth. That was not supposed to be said aloud. Draco glared at him, which Harry promptly meant the glare with his own death stare.
"Watch yourself, Draco." Elizabeth warned without looking at him. Draco went wide eyed. The girl had a sixth sense or something.
"My biggest fear would have to be being alone forever." Elizabeth admitted. Not many people knew that.
"You know you'll never be alone, El." Harry said sweetly. He did not plan on ever leaving his sister alone. Ever. Especially not now with her being the mate of Malfoy. He did not trust the blonde teen as far as he could physically throw him.
"I can promise that as well. You're my mate now, my other half. I'll always be there for you." Draco said sternly, but full of promise. Elizabeth looked into his eyes where she found them full of what she guessed was love. She would keep note of that, but for now she mentally shrugged and just accepted it.
"Thanks, you two." Elizabeth thanked warmly.
The mood was almost ruined when Elizabeth looked at the boys' hair. Harry's dark sable hair now was brilliantly highlighted with green brooms and had red snitches flowing through it. Draco's normally pale blonde hair now sported silver highlights with cauldrons and random ingredients in black. She had to remember to thank the twins for giving her the idea back in fourth year; well, after they had used it on her anyhow. Elizabeth could not help but giggle at her handy work.
"What are you laughing at El?" Harry questioned, eyeing her. Elizabeth could not hold it in anymore and she burst out laughing.
"What?" Draco asked looking around.
"You two should see your hair." Elizabeth gasped, trying to breath. Draco and Harry ran to the closest mirror, which was near the stairs, tripping over each other to get there first.
"What did you do?" Harry shouted, pulling at his hair. Draco kept turning his head and running his hand through the dyed locks.
"You both needed to learn a lesson," Elizabeth started, "I'm tired of the fighting and now you both are equally punished."
"I can't believe you," Harry sighed, "but I bet you got it from the twins didn't you?"
"You bet I did Harry. I'm the best girl prankster they've ever seen." Elizabeth boasted, puffing her chest out like a peacock. Harry sent an obscene gesture toward his sister which she merely laughed off.
"How could you do this? I didn't do anything to you!" Draco turned and shouted at Elizabeth, one hand still bedded in the dyed locks. Elizabeth flinched at his tone, but glared at the Slytherin.
"I told you why, Draco," Elizabeth simply answered, "You both need to learn to get along. So I've started by equally humiliating you."
"I can't believe this or you!" Draco continued ranting, "Why did I get a mate like you? You're horrible!" Elizabeth was normally a strong willed child and did not let anything to her, but this took the gold. She saw red first, and then the tears.
"Screw you Malfoy!" Elizabeth shouted, tears brimming in her eyes. Whatever retort Draco had was gone when he saw the look on Elizabeth's face and the tears. Draco Malfoy knew at that moment that he had messed up big time.
"Elizabeth, I'm..." Draco started to apologize but it was cut off. Elizabeth had flipped him off and ran to her room. Draco just stood there and stared at where the girl stood moments before.
"That was low Malfoy, even for you." Harry stated an edge in his voice. Harry ran up the stairs to Elizabeth's room to try and calm her down, but stopped momentarily at the bottom of the stairs to turn around at Draco and flip him off.
Draco suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. It was as if an invisible fist had punched through him and gripped his heart and tried squeezing it like a grape. It was so strong that it made him drop to his knees, holding a hand to his chest. His father had told him something about this. When a Veela finds their mate they start a bond, weak at first. It was through that bond he was able to feel some emotions, which would become stronger until they bonded fully. By the judge of the pain, he had hurt her deeply. Now, he was not sure how he was going to fix it either.
"What have I done?"
Yeah, I don't know if I'll ever make these chapters much longer. Sorry if you think they're too short.
Anywhoooo R&R for a Twix and hug!
