A/N: yes I am back. I have no computer, I uploaded and wrote this all entirely on my phone. For me and mostly for you! So don't kill me lol, as I stated on my profile I think that shows true dedication as well as lack of sleep. Hope you enjoy this, sorry it's shorter than my normal works but like I said I'm doing this on my phone...not easy peeps.
"Destiny? Will you listen to me?!"
I groaned at the sound of my nagging sister. That's all she likes to do is nag nag nag! Constantly reminding me about exams, homework, where I should be and what I should be doing. It is beyond annoying.
"Hermione I heard you the first bloody time! I'm just finishing up my D.A.D.A. essay and then I will be downstairs for breakfast, alright?!"
She heaved a heavy sigh to let me know she was unmoved and clearly disappointed. "If you hadn't procrastinated, you wouldn't have to finish it the morning it's due and I wouldn't be here scolding you!"
My fist clenched around my pen and I mumbled to myself, "Something tells me that you would be here yelling at me anyway..."
"What was that?!"
"Nothing, mother! Need I remind you that we are TWINS! You're NOT my older sister! Two minute difference doesn't count, we are equal!"
"Your lack of drive, responsibility, and pride states otherwise," she stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her. My words hurt her, she always leaves upset. Usually I let it go but since our first fight she takes it to heart and I think it's because of her absence in the beginning of my life; which, wasn't her fault at all, but nonetheless I understand where she's coming from.
Even still, my perfect passing marks hold nothing against me, so I don't know why she's so uptight! I think she's mad that she has to put more effort into her work to get good grades than I do. I have the ability to bullshit a paper and make it look like I took weeks doing it.
"Phew!" Oh yeah, I almost forgot Faith was hiding under her bed the whole time I was fighting with Hermione. "She really needs to take that stick outta her ass!"
Smiling, I shook my head and put the last finishing touches on my essay. "Cut her some slack, mid terms are coming up and she's stressing."
"Ha! Her stressing is the equivalent to a cranky dragon..." We both shared a laugh.
Today we are supposed to take a trip down to Hogsmeade, so I'm taking my sweet ass time. We are getting older and I've yet to land myself a boyfriend which to me is a little embarrassing? Even Faith has had a few love interests although I don't blame her. She's gorgeous with her shining emerald eyes and outgoing personality. As for me? I spend too much time researching my past and studying for my future. Oh, and avoiding Malfoy...our arch nemesis. Ever since my first year he's made it a living of torturing me.
"What are you wearing to Hogsmeade? It's a beautiful day." That's Faith's subtle way of hinting for me to wear something colorful, but I stuck to my blacks, reds, and purples. That's as colorful as color gets with me.
"Faith, we made a deal. I'll wear my purple sequined v-neck and black skinnies but that's as far as I will go! No pink, or baby blue...I will choke you."
She shrugged. "Just asking, sheesh." She smiled at the end, I rolled my eyes and threw my clothes on in minutes. I was anxious to get out of the castle and finally relax. That stupid essay took up all of my patience and that fight took up all of my good energy.
I need a break.
Breakfast was the norm. Hermione, Ron, and Harry were in their own little secret world. Faith and I rarely got involved unless they deemed it important, they saw us as "little" naive sisters. Since The Order of the Phoenix, I have more than proved I can fend well for myself, Faith as well; but as far as they knew, we were helpless little nothings.
"Come on it's time to go!" Faith said ecstatically. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the main gate where we are supposed to meet up with the others.
We were sort of trailing behind, thanks to Faith, because she hadn't finished her essay either. Of course, she chose now to do it!
"Slow down! They aren't going to leave without us..." I laughed, and it was short lived.
"Why not? What makes you think you're so special mudblood?" It's as if he's always on cue.
Glaring at him, Faith cut my off. Lucky for him, cause I was about to rip his head of his spoiled perky broad shoulders.
"Bugger off, Malfoy...you're late too." She snapped at him.
He simply sneered at her and shoved his way past me. "If you're looking for a fight Malfoy, I would love to finish what my sister started!" I smirked, referring to the time she punched him in the face.
Surprisingly, he stepped up to me catching me off guard and closing me into a corner against the wall. I could hear Faith trying to aid me, but Pansy had her busy. Man was I praying Faith pounded her pug little face in!
When my back was flat against the wall I gasped as Malfoy put both hands on either side of the wall level with my face. Ok, I wasn't ready for him to be persistent or brave today.
"You wouldn't dream of laying your hands on me," I hissed at him, my heart pounding as I felt my body tense in defense.
"Oh, but I do," he smirked and traced the back of his hand across my face.
An obvious double meaning there, while he was vulnerable I kneed him in the sweet spot. He instantly doubled over and I ran, grabbing Faith's arm as I went dragging her behind me.
We both heard Pansy's fading voice shrieking, repeatedly asking her beaux if he was ok.
"Wow Destiny, nice! I never knew you had it in you!" Faith teased as we met up with our siblings.
"Had what in you?" Harry asked suspiciously. He liked to butt into our conversations.
"Oh, nothing," I sheepishly smiled at him and interlocked my arm with Faith's.
While we were walking on our way to Hogsmeade, Harry and Hermione made it a point of separating Faith and I, then taking us off into different directions.
Great, this is how it starts. The "serious" talk. The one about Malfoy or upcoming danger.
Harry kept up pace with the rest of the group with Faith as Hermione held my hand and pulled me back. We were falling behind, and I had a feeling she was going to yell at me some more.
"What now?" I groaned. I was seriously looking forward to this day, and it just keeps gradually getting worse!
"Don't give me that attitude! I'm trying to warn you-"
"Stay away from Malfoy, report anything suspicious, yes I know."
"No! You don't know! This is serious! We have reason to believe that...that death eaters might be among us today..." She whispered the last part and I rolled my eyes.
Finally giving up, I threw up my hands. "You wait to tell me this now?!"
"We weren't sure earlier."
"And I know you're still not sure now! Otherwise this trip would have been canceled but no, it's just too easy to ruin my day that way isn't it?"
"Will you grow up Destiny! This isn't about you!"
"Yes it IS Hermione! I mean do you even listen to yourself?! 'Grow up' you're the same freaking age as me! Stop treating me like I'm a baby!"
"I'm not! I'm just looking out for you.."
"I did fine the first decade of my life by myself, I think right now I'm fine without you doing it for me either!"
I hit a nerve. I could see it in her face...her determination turned into painful broken down defeat. The pain in her expression alone made me regret what I said. Before I could take it back, she ran back to Harry and Ron...of course.
Sighing frustratingly, I kicked a nearby tree stump and cursed. This is all my fault.
What happened next, all I saw was a flash of gray eyes before I was slammed into an adjacent tree trunk. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would but the shock alone hurt me enough. I felt elevated and as I finally focused on my attacker my stomach dropped.
Malfoy.
He was fuming and had me in the most uncomfortable and awkward position. His knee was between my legs, elevated me against the tree. Because of this I hadn't exactly realized how much taller he was than me. In this position I was barely eye level to him, seeing him tower over me like this was even more intimidating. His hands were placed firmly on my hips.
When I turned to see how far away the group was, they were nowhere in sight. My instinct was to scream, and being one step ahead. Malfoy covered my mouth and harshly whispered in my ear to hush.
The feel of his breath on my ear sent unwanted shivers down my spine and I know he could feel it too, because the smile that played on his lips revealed it all.
He slowly let down his hand from my mouth and his glare was piercing. "I don't appreciate the stunt you pulled earlier," his tone was menacing.
Like a nitwit, I challenged him anyway, "Well that's a shame, because I sure as hell did."
My comment resulted in his hand around my throat and he pushed his knee higher into my sweet spot, hoisting me upward. An involuntary gasp escaped my parted lips and Draco grinned. His grasp around my neck wasn't tight, but enough to make me value my air supply and worry about my next move.
He suavely leaned down so that he was inches from my face and whispered, "You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this day, this...liberation," my mind went into overdrive and my heart raced with desperation as he continued," I won't let you ruin it!"
He released me and I collapsed to the grassy floor. I took a deep breath of relief and traced my neck over the spot in which he held me, looking into his eyes as I saw a hint of darkness. A glint of determined redemption.
Still towering over me, he smiled in a malevolent manner. "I really am glad you could make it to the Hogsmeade trip today. It's already going to be a memorable one."
I'm sure I don't have to remind you I did this from my phone so any editing mistakes please try and look past? With that being said I would also like to take this time to say in the direction this story is headed I absolutely do NOT approve of domestic abuse ok? It's just a story, with a different twist. I like to challenge myself and write many different things as well as taboo topics.
With that being said please review!
