For the next few days, Draco saw more and more of Dean, and Aryanna. Eventually, weeks past and Draco had accustomed himself to feeling no emotions. Especially not Jealousy , as he was now going out with Camilla Potswold, a respectable girl from a respectable PURE BLOODED family , and a great kisser. Sure, he had a good time with Cam, but he still had that nagging feeling that something was missing when he had a good time, whenever he smiled, he could not feel himself smile , whenever he laughed he did not feel like it was worth laughing for.
Aryanna however, and decided to deal with her problems in a WHOLE Different way !
Every night there was a party in the Head's common room , and there was a Muffliato spell cast , so the teachers would not come running. Aryanna's parties were wild, fun and absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD ! Sure people were tired after partying every single night for 2 weeks straight, but the fire whisky and beer ( a muggle liquid which tasted like wheat ) , and the games that Aryanna invented , such as spin the bottle , which only a few of the muggle- borns had heard of, and hide and seek, which EVERYONE knew of , had been worth it.
Every morning at the dinner tables of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff , there would be an excited chatter amongst the sixth and seventh year pupils , and they would be talking about last nights party, and of the one that was to come. Obviously the teachers had noticed their student's bleary faces, red eyes and breaths which smelled suspiciously of fire whisky, but they all thought nothing of it.
Draco knew what went on , but even after numerous pleas from other Slytherin he would not snitch on her. Sure he didn't like all these wild parties, but he was usually with Cam , in his room, and they could barely hear a thing , what with the Muffliatio spell, but one person they would always find in the bath, with neon bracelets , and shorts that came up to her mid-thighs. Aryanna, and always Cam would stare disapprovingly , muttering something about decency ,muggles and craziness. Even though Aryanna never knew it, it was Draco who would undress her and put her into her pyjamas, and it was Draco who would clear up every night. Why, even he didn't know, but he felt that it was his fault that she had turned to this wild lifestyle of drinking , going to Dean's dormitory almost every night, maybe if he hadn't listened to Granger, none of this would of happened, speaking of Granger, he had barely seen or heard of her lately , she was hardly ever with Potty and Weasel these days. Maybe she hadn't even meant what she said about exposing his true feelings. Draco only did it to protect Aryanna from the stares and points she would get (though he knew she wouldn't give a damn) and his father. That was the biggest obstacle of all. Draco knew what would happen should his father know of Aryanna ,there would be muggle blood on the floor of Malfoy Manor.
But the next day, Aryanna woke with a great feeling in her heart, and this was a good thing, even though her head was POUNDING . Her mother had always told her to listen to her heart, see how it was going , do what it told her to and then use her mind. But then again, if Aryanna listened to her mother at all , she would be a wasted , diabetic, drug addicted alcoholic.
Finding out her magic had been the greatest gift ever. Aryanna thought she could cure her mother from the' Devil Drink' and the Evil Needle, but she could not just do everything at the wave of a wand. For 5 years, Aryanna ignored the letters from Hogwarts, looking after her mother and helping her to recover, of course the house was FILLED with letters, and the neighbours (a single mother with 9 kids and a night time 'nurse' who went to 'work' every night all made up and in a miniskirt) noticed the large amount of owls that came to that rough estate in the daytime, but they didn't care.
As soon as she decided to go, she realised that she had to be a different person, not the miserable girl who wore the same clothes for a week, but a confident, funny girl that everybody would love.
At Hogwarts, she didn't have to look after her wasted mother, cleaning up and taking on all the responsibilities of a household of two, which involved cleaning, cooking, washing up, ironing.. etc.
She also had to study and complete her coursework when she attended school at all, which was very rarely according to the letters sent home to her mum. Aryanna had not grown up with a father figure, or any sensible role model . Her mother was mostly too drunk or too high to notice her let alone care about her, and all family had deserted her in her time of need. Aryanna's father was apparently a good-for nothing waste of space who had wheedled money out of her once wealthy mother and ran away. Aryanna found it hard to believe that her mother was anything other than this, living in a desirable home in West London, being the It-girl if that decade. But that was a looong time ago, probably when Bananarama were still popular. Since infancy, all she had wanted was for someone to play footy with her, or teach her how to ride her bike, and swim. For someone to come to her school plays and parents evenings. She wanted so badly for her mother to clean herself up, but that would never happen.
So Aryanna ignored her pounding head and woke up, to find again that the common room and magically cleaned itself up, and that she was in her PJs. She couldn't remember doing this herself,but the fact that it was done at all satisfied Aryanna. So she made her way to the bathroom, only to bump into Camilla Potswod, a girl who Aryanna found uninteresting and unpolite ,who usually acknowleged Aryanna with a glare. She was not unattractive, with straight, silky black hair and topaz coloured eyes, but there was a certain coldess about her that she reserved for Aryanna. She was also Malfoys'girlfriend'. "Escuse me Potswold, but this the Head's dormitory incase you cant read" Aryanna said, whilst dragging Camilla to the door, and pointing at the sign above the portraits which read, 'Heads Dormitory'.
"I can read and I'm not blind Nicola ! I was merely having a shower after spending the night in Draco's room" she smirked at the bewildred Head girl. Camilla's smirk was having an unpleseant effect on had learnt from the master of all smirks.
"I really don't care Camilla , so please get out of my way and let me resume what i was planning to do" said Aryanna. With that, she stepped forward and SLAPPED Camilla Potwold smack bang on the left cheek.
