.:. Halloween .:.
.
Halloween. Tonight is the big party. I guess that in the end, walking around the castle with my fangs exposed will not be as bad as I had thought at the beginning. I mean nobody is going to think that my fangs are real because, let's be honest, the vampires they have learned about during DADA classes are not real. The only ones that will know that our fangs are real will be Hermione, Blaise and Ginevra, basically because they are all currently sleeping with a vampire, the same vampires that will be their dates during the famous Halloween Ball.
That morning Hermione woke up early without my help and she immediately kicked me out of the bedroom so that she could get ready. I ran into Isabel on the door's landing and I looked at her, totally stunned. She shrugged and went into the room, closing the door in my face. Women. Even if they live for centuries they keep going crazy whenever they need to get ready for something.
On my way to the common room I could see that chaos had taken over the Gryffindor tower as dozens of girls ran down the stairs so that they could be the first to reach the bathrooms, the guys simply trying to ignore them just like me. Ginerva, however, jumped on me, seizing me by the collar of my jacket and screaming like a banshee.
"Where is he? Where is Lucian?" Her eyes were like that of a really insane person and I didn't know if it was because of the withdrawal symptoms or because she had drunk too much caffeine.
"Excuse me?" I loosened her grip around my neck and I placed her carefully on the floor. "Why are you expecting me to know his whereabouts?"
"Well…he is your...that, right?" At least she didn't say it out loud.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean that he has to tell me where he is. Can I ask you why are you so desperate to find him right now?" I tried to find out if there was any excess of any substance or potion in her blood, but I didn't detect anything. "If you need, well… If it is very urgent, I can please you."
"That's the only thing you can think of?" she shouted furiously. "I only need my costume."
Right. Now I understand, he told her that he would bring the costume.
"How the hell does he think that I can get ready if I don't even know what my costume is?!"
"Calm down," I replied seriously. "I will get your costume for you, okay?" I will do anything so that you stop shouting, I added to myself.
"Thank you," she said while she hugged me. "You're a sweetheart. Sorry for thinking that you're a pervert."
"I remind you that Lucian is the pervert, not me. I only thought that you needed a little bite," I smiled before kissing her neck lovingly, without any type of lust. "That's what I get when I offer to soothe your needs."
"No, thanks. I prefer Luc or Isa." She kissed my cheek, "It's not that I don't like you, but I don't want Herms to get mad at me… You don't know how she is when she gets angry," she said, rolling her eyes.
"I can get an idea," I said with a smile. They often forgot that before we started being a couple together, that anger was always directed at me...
"Well? What are you waiting for? Go and get my costume. Go!" she shouted again.
"But there is still plenty of time before you have to start worrying about getting ready!" I protested.
"Do you honestly believe that I can get ready so fast?" She looked at me, once again looking like a Banshee. "In case you haven't noticed, in this tower, there is not one bathroom per person-we share them! It's impossible for all of us to be ready in time if we all have to wait our turn."
"If that's the only problem you can use my old bedroom. It has a private bathroom," I offered.
"Spending so much time with Hermione has affected your brain, hasn't it? Did you just tell me that you want me to go into that nest of vipers without carrying a squad of bodyguards? Isa survives because she is with Zabini... I'm sure that your old housemates would be able to beat anyone...including Isa."
"I doubt it, but you gave me an idea. Blaise will escort you. I'll go get your costume and you'll have a bath for yourself," I said while I grabbed her by her arm and I started pulling her out of that madhouse.
"I haven't agreed," she said, trying to get rid of my grip.
"I don't care." I didn't want to waste any time, so I picked her up in my arms and I crossed the portrait.
Ginerva protested all the way from the tower to the dining room, saying that my bedroom would not have anything she would need while she listed a long list of ingredients, cosmetics and hundreds of other things. Every now and then, when she remembered another thing she needed, she punched me on my back, controlling her strength to avoid getting hurt. Once she remembered that I didn't feel any of her punches she gave up. When we reached the Great Hall I walked straight towards Blaise, who was seated at the Slytherin table eating his breakfast with Crabe and Goyle.
"Well, as I see that you have already finished eating breakfast-and taking into account that I haven't asked you anything lately..." I seated Ginerva on the table in front of Blaise, "I have a little job for you. Take her to my old room in Slytherin and give her anything she asks until I come back and I give you more instructions."
"Hey, I'm not your pet!" Ginerva protested while she tried to stand up, but Blaise understood my orders perfectly and he took Ginerva in his arms before placing her in his lap. "You can't leave me here with these three, I'm not a piece of furniture!"
"Do you want me to go get your costume or not?" I asked her, smiling, and she nodded. "Okay, but you have to be a good girl and go to my old bedroom."
I quickly left the Great Hall, but Potter's expression caught my eye. He was really sunk by what he had just seen. I guess that it's not very nice to see your ex-girlfriend being treated in that way. Well at least he had seen her protesting...at the beginning. I can imagine what he must be thinking. The mere thought of someone treating Hermione in a disrespectful manner… I would kill whoever dared to treat her disrespectfully, and no one would be able to stop me.
I walked into the first empty classroom I found and with a wave of my hand I closed all the blinds. When there was nothing but darkness I entered the Abyss. This time the demons behaved very strangely, and when I left the Abyss I had a letter in my pocket addressed to Hermione. Her name was written on the envelope with an ancient and complicated calligraphy. I turned around, trying to find who had been the one that put it in my jacket's pocket, but I didn't find out anything because their deformed faces were completely expressionless.
"Lucian?"
I called Lucian from the lobby of the castle. There was no answer. I ventured down the stairs since there was a possibility that he was in his bedroom, but it would be strange. The walls of Lucian's castle are so thick that almost all sounds are mixed and it's impossible to detect where he is even when listening to his steps or even his breathing.
When I reached the hall of the first floor I found something that reminded me of the last summers I spent in Lucian's company. Felicia was running down the hall, her face brightened with a big smile as soon as she saw me and she jumped into my arms. I'm glad no one can see me now. How can I explain to Hermione that a beautiful young girl is in my arms? As if she were to believe me.
"Are you here to play with us, Draco?" she asked before kissing me full on my mouth as greeting.
