Yeah this chapter is super short and I have no motivation to make it longer. Plus I just got super lazy in writing.
Disclaimer and all that is in the first chapter and such.
Enjoy.
Draco paced around the common room, knowing Elizabeth was cursing his name.
"Why did I have to open my big mouth?" Draco sighed. He knew that was not a Malfoy thing to do, or nice for that matter. His father would be disappointed if he knew what happened. Good thing he was with Serverus at the time, or he would have ripped Draco a new asshole. Draco could only hope that Elizabeth would forgive him.
*Upstairs*
"El, come on. It wasn't that bad." Harry tried to reason. Elizabeth just stared at the wall in front of her, hugging a large stuffed bear. Seriously, the toy was a large as she was.
"But for him to over react to such a small thing." Elizabeth said in disbelief. Harry climbed on the bed and sat next to his sister. What Elizabeth needed right then was a hug.
"El, I hate to admit this but there's only one way to solve this." Harry stated. Elizabeth turned and gave him a questioning glance.
"You need to talk to Malfoy." Harry continued.
"I know." Elizabeth sighed, defeated. Elizabeth climbed off the bed, still holding the bear and left.
'Might as well face the music.' Elizabeth thought sadly.
*Downstairs*
Draco heard footsteps come down the stairs. He turned ready to yell at Harry, thinking it was him. Who he did not expect to see so soon was Elizabeth. He choose to ignore the giant bear she was holding which blocked his view of her. She stopped behind the chair near the bottom of the stairs.
"I think we need to talk." Elizabeth stated. Draco went and sat on the couch, then patted a spot next to him. Elizabeth sighed, and walked towards where he sat, but choose to sit a good three feet away from him.
"Listen Elizabeth," Draco started, but Elizabeth cut him off.
"No. Draco, I'm the one at wrong here," Elizabeth began, "I shouldn't have pulled that prank knowing you and your obsession with your hair." Draco stared at her, in what he could think of was shock. He was the one that blew up for no reason, he was the one who over reacted. Why was she taking the blame?
"Elizabeth, I'm the one who should be apologizing. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did to a prank. Yes, I love my hair, but that wasn't an excuse for me to yell at you." Draco finished. Elizabeth placed her face into her bear, hiding it from Draco.
"Do you mean it?" Elizabeth asked softly. Draco's face softened.
"Yes, every word of it. Swear by the Malfoy name." Draco replied just as quiet. Elizabeth smiled, before getting up to sit closer to Draco, leaning back into the couch and smiling into the bear. Draco leaned back as well, knowing that they were okay.
"You know this means I'm going to get back at you right?" Elizabeth giggled. Draco smiled, letting his eyes close.
"I do now." Draco laughed. They sat there like that for a bit, enjoying the comfortable silence. Draco suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. He peaked an eye open and looked over. Elizabeth had leaned her head against his shoulder, cuddling the stuffed bear. Draco smiled, because when she was not yelling or being sarcastic, she was quite cute. Not that he would say that to her face just yet, he did not want to risk any bodily injuries. He happened to like how his body was, thank you very much. Draco leaned his head on Elizabeth's and drifted off to sleep, his hand on the bear as well.
Lucius Malfoy walked into the room after a long day with the Potions Master. He expected to hear yelling and bickering, not to find Elizabeth and Draco on the couch, next to each other, asleep. Harry looked up from his spot on the floor by the fire he had made earlier.
"How long have they been like that?" He questioned looking down to the teen on the floor, while gesturing to the pair on the couch. Harry looked over at his sister then back at the elder Malfoy.
"About an hour I guess. We had a rough start this morning." Harry admitted. Not that he was going to say exactly what happened. One day, maybe, but today was not that day.
"And they solved it on their own?" He inquired. Potters and Malfoys do not just solve things without injury. Nope, not with how many letters he received from Draco, or Madame Pomfrey.
"Pretty much. I found them like this when I came back downstairs after I didn't hear any yelling. After a little while I decided to do something productive." Harry answered pointing at the essay he was working on. Lucius nodded and sat in the chair across from the fire place.
"I'm shocked to say, that they didn't come to blows or anything. From what I've heard, you and Draco were never really civil to one another." Lucius pondered, once again looking at his son and mate.
"Yeah, Draco and I aren't the best of buds. Though I am the one that sent Elizabeth down here to fix things," Harry explained "Draco and I may be hot headed, but Elizabeth isn't. She's easier to solve things with." With that, Lucius nodded, trying to relax into the chair. Normally he did not mind being around Severus, but the man was a nightmare if anything Potions related was involved. Lucius happened to visit on one of those unfortunate days. Harry went back to finishing his essay, but once it was completed he looked to Elizabeth, then Lucius. Harry really wanted someone to check over his essay, and since Elizabeth was not an option. He looked to Lucius and sighed. It could not hurt to ask at least.
"I know you don't like me all that much, but can you read over this? Normally Elizabeth does, but I'm not waking her. It won't end well." Harry explained. Lucius opened his eyes and looked to the raven haired teen. The sheepish expression was enough to get him.
"I wouldn't mind at all, as long as it is not a Potions essay." Lucius graciously answered taking the scroll. He had had enough Potions for one day.
"Ha ha, about that…"
As always R&R for a Twix!
