"Hello there, Raven."
Raven, who was walking to her next class, was startled out of her thoughts. She looked to her right to see the tall, attractive, green-eyed boy from the train.
"Ah, Blaise was it? Can I help you with something?" She cocked one eyebrow at him, while keeping an aloof look of boredom on her face. Blaise chuckled.
"I believe you're one of the prickliest females I have met. Yet it's only directed toward us, Slytherins. Now tell me, why is that?"
"Hm, well I never thought about it, but if I had to guess, it might be because of your kinds' lack of decent humanity." Raven looked over at Blaise expecting rage, or shock, or maybe nothing at all. Instead, Blaise had amusement written all over his face.
"That was quite a mouthful. But I would like to point out that we're not all alike you know. In fact, I might surprise you."
They reached the entrance of the Potions classroom. With a wink at Raven, he walked ahead and took his seat. Raven hesitated a moment before slowly claiming her seat next to Hermione Granger. They gave each other polite smiles. Raven couldn't understand the fuss some of the other students made of her. She thought Granger was a pretty enough girl in her own right. Not to mention the girl had a brilliant mind to boot. So luckily for Raven, they were lab partners. Students quieted down as Snape swirled in with an almost dramatized evil flair of his black cloak. He looked over the class with his usual sneer.
"Your task today consists of making the common love draught. I see no point as it is a foolish endeavor, but you will learn it nonetheless. Pay close attention to detail. One mistake and you may find yourself to be a victim of obsession." Snape's lip curled at the thought.
"In the potion's cabinets, you will find oil of rose infused with unicorn horn powder-"
A distraction caused Snape to break off abruptly. Draco strolled in with an unconcerned air about him. He squeezed in between his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle and gave a nod to Blaise, who was next to Seamus Finnegan and located behind Raven. He gave her a cheeky smirk before Snape spoke.
"Need I remind you, Mr. Malfoy, that my class starts everyday ON TIME. No matter your family, I do not tolerate lateness."
"Apologies, Professor." Draco smiled once Snape turned his back to write the potion ingredients on the blackboard with a flick of his wand. Raven rolled her eyes and faced the front so she could copy down her notes. Hermione tsked under her breath.
"Of course Professor Snape didn't take off points. If any of us arrived late, it's points or worse, detention." she grumbled. Raven sighed in agreement.
"He's apparently the poster boy of Slytherin, and seeing as Snape is head of his house..." Raven let her sentence trail off. Hermione's quill scratched angrily across her parchment.
"He's a degenerate snob just like his father." she said, her voice rising.
"Oi! Granger! Is that your filthy mud-blood mouth spouting off about my family? Surely you're not pretending that your muggle trash parents are better than mine." Draco said with disgust and hatred. Raven whipped around with shocked outrage.
"How dare you talk to someone like that! I don't care who your family is, but it's obvious you were raised in a gutter!" she yelled, her cheeks flushed with anger. Snape, who had been listening, interjected.
"Enough, Trelawney. Ten points from Ravenclaw and Gryffindor for interru-" but Raven wasn't finished.
"You're vile, a cad, and a bigot, and-"
"And that is enough, Miss Trelawney. Another twenty points from Ravenclaw and a detention, after classes, 7 pm, my office." Snape thundered.
Raven snapped her mouth shut and she seethed in anger. She was about to make a retort, but Hermione's hand squeezing her arm, stopped her.
"With all due respect, Professor, but is that really fair? She was defending a friend after all." came Blaise's voice from behind her. Raven looked at Granger in astonishment, but she just shrugged; sharing in the confusion.
"Zabini, if you want fair, you may join her." Snape spat out through clenched teeth. He was pissed from the outbursts and lack of discipline going on in front of his nose.
"I'd be glad to, Professor." Blaise said with good-natured cheer in his voice.
"So be it." Snape growled. Raven turned in her seat.
"What do you think you're doing?" she hissed.
"A good deed, didn't you notice?" he whispered with a cocky grin.
"Unbelievable, but thanks anyway." Raven said, unable to contain a small smile from forming on her lips. He winked again at her before she returned to her work. She didn't notice Blaise giving Draco a self-satisfied smirk. Draco's stormy gray eyes shot daggers at his friend and he gave him a look that summed up to, "We'll see."
From Potion's class, Raven was off to dinner with the rest of the students. Hermione caught up with her and pulled her to the side.
"Raven, I appreciate what you did, but I don't want you to put your house in jeopardy because of me." she said, her brow furrowed with worry. Raven let out a huff.
"Look, Hermione, I don't need you to worry about me. Any friend would do the same thing. I don't tolerate bullies."
Hermione stared at her for a few long seconds before swooping in to hug her. Just as quickly, she stepped back. Raven stood there surprised and tense. She wasn't used to such out of the blue contact. Granger smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Listen, if you're free this weekend, would you like to join my friends and I at the Three Broomsticks?"
"Oh, is that in Hogsmeade?" Raven asked.
"Yes." Hermione nodded.
"I hear their butterbeer is to die for. Yes, I'd love-...oh shit, wait...I have Quidditch practice Saturday. Is Sunday alright?"
"Actually that's perfect. That way I can get my studies out of the way. Alright, well, see you later then." Hermione smiled at her before heading off to the Great Hall. Raven watched her walk away and smiled a genuinely happy smile. Finally she was growing a group of friends. She wouldn't feel like such a trespasser anymore.
"And what's made you so happy, pet? Not that mud-blood I hope."
Raven whirled around to find Draco standing behind her with a mocking smirk.
"You need to shut your gob, Malfoy, before I break it." she warned, her eyes narrowed. Draco scoffed.
"Sounds like a sexy good time, but I think I'll pass."
Raven had a hand on one hip and she jabbed the air with the index finger of her other hand in his direction.
"You're a bloody git, Malfoy. For the life of me, I don't understand how any girl here can fall for you."
Draco tilted his platinum head to the side and gave a seductive smile before stepping closer to her. Raven unconsciously backed up, matching his paces.
"I don't want them to fall for me..." he started, while continuing to back her up until she hit the wall. Raven jumped slightly at the feeling of the cold, rough, stone through her clothes. Draco moved closer and placed his arm above her head as his face leaned nearer to hers.
"I want them to fall under me." he whispered suggestively, his lips mere inches from hers. Her eyes slightly widened and she sucked in a quick breath. Raven put the palms of her hands against the wall of his chest to move him, but he wouldn't budge. Draco took the hand that was dangling at his side and brought it up slowly. He grabbed a lock of her silky, black hair, and began toying with the strands.
"I want you under me, Raven. Or on top of me. Whichever you prefer." he murmured. Raven gasped in outrage before reaching up to slap his pale, perfect face. Draco's head whipped to the side and he released her hair to rub at his reddened cheek.
"Fuck you, Malfoy! You bastard!" she spat at him.
"That was pretty much the point, woman!" he growled, while moving his jaw around.
"I hate you Malfoy. I'd rather fuck Zabini. In fact, maybe I will." Raven laughed condescendingly before turning to walk away. She didn't get five steps before Draco snatched her arm and spun her back around. His face was livid.
"Like hell you will." he snapped, right before his lips crashed down on hers. She made a startled muffled sound but he ignored it. Instead, he shoved her back up against the wall and continued to devour her. Every time she tried to move her face away, he bit lightly on her lips to keep her in place. His tongue swept her lower lip, seeking entrance, but Raven kept her mouth firmly closed. Draco smiled against her before letting one of his hands roam lightly up her stomach to cup her breast. As soon as her mouth opened to yell at him, his tongue swooped in to explore her further. Raven was pissed, but a tiny part of her couldn't deny that Malfoy was good. Really, really, good. But if they were going to ever make-out, it would be on her terms. Not Malfoy fucking manhandling her. So she did what was necessary. She clamped her teeth down on him..
"Ow, ballocks!" he cursed, rearing back quickly. They glared at each other, breathing a little heavily. Raven broke the silence first.
"Touch me again, and you'll regret it."
"Denial hurts, cupcake." he said, still glaring at her.
"Yet I believe it's you right now, who is doing the hurting. Now kindly fuck off." she tossed out before striding quickly away to dinner, which was already well underway. Draco followed her, but at a slow pace, millions of thoughts running through his mind. Then the corners of his mouth tilted up in a mysterious smile.
"I wouldn't play games with a Malfoy, pet. You'll lose."
