"I will do anything!" This probably was my worst mistake.
"Anything?" Their smirks were bigger than ever.
"Yes!"
"Soooo we were thinking that since," George said crossing his hands.
"Your father is Snape," Fred followed him, and crossed his hands too.
"We could use the opportunity,"
"To make fun of him,"
"And we want you to do it!" They finished together.
"What?!" I lost my words. Even if he was my father I could never do that. I can't deny that he indeed is extremely scary.
"Noooo... there is no way I could do that to him. He is my father and I love him. "I twisted the truth a little, they don't really have to know that I am scared of him, sometimes.
"You said that you will do anything, and besides, he won't even know who did it if you do it well!" George said smirking.
'Who would have thought that, even if they were stupid Gryffindors, they are actually pretty cunning.' I thought to myself.
"And you love Snape?"
"Are you sure, he is creepy!"
They both half-whispered half-shouted.
"Hey, watch what you are saying!" I almost hexed them both. "He is my father and I am the only one who could say that!" It is not like he is scary, it is just that from time to time he can be really hard to understand and that is what makes him creepy. He could do anything to you and you won't even know what happened.
" Fine, fine," they said together.
"See Fred this is why we must do it to ease the children and all!"
"I totally agree George!" Their smiles were huge.
"So then why don't you two do that?" I said crossing my arms and at the same time trying to get away with this.
"Are you crazy he would kill us!" They laughed their heads off. But I stood there with my mouth almost hanging open.
"Then how am I supposed to do that?" And I gave up. I can just say goodbye to my life and get this over with.
"Do whatever you want."
"It is totally up to you."
"And if it is good enough,"
"We will give you your picture!"
"So I need to try my best?"
And here I was hoping that I could just switch his shampoo, and dye his hair or something, but nooo... They would probably want more than that, they are kings of pranks, and I need to please them. 'I thought to myself while continuing my walk towards my dad office.
~End of the flashback ~
It was morning, five AM to be precise, and I was still awake sitting in front of the fireplace looking into the slightly greenish fire.
I let out a heavy sigh and closed my book of "Advanced Potion-Making" which I almost completely memorized. I just couldn't find any strength to read it now since I was way too nervous to think of anything. So I stood up and went towards my bedroom. Pansy was still sleeping and thank Merlin for that. I just don't want to listen to her nonsense so early in the morning.
I slowly put my robes on, trying not to make a sound. I slipped out of the Slytherin common room, and went towards my old bedroom.
I had to be extra cautious so that my father won't hear me because his bedroom was right across mine.
I slowly opened the door of my old room, only to find the room completely the same as it was when I left last year.
I dragged myself towards the end of the bed in the middle of the room and crashed into it. It was weird that there was not a single spark of dust and the sheets had a faint smell of lavender.
I haven't been using this room since I started school last year and I missed it so much.
My eyelashes started closing since tiredness hit me. 'Just for a few minutes!' I thought and closed my eyes and went into a very peaceful sleep.
I woke up with a start, and since there were no windows I couldn't tell if it was was still night.
I quickly took my wand to check what time it was.
"Quarter to seven." I shouted while jumping of my bed.
'I can't believe that I slept in. I have Quidditch practice at seven, Flint is going to kill me if I'm late!'
I was running like a mad man towards the Slytherin common room.
I quickly shouted the password and rushed inside. I was already inside when I realized that someone was at the entrance. I saw that too late and ended up knocking down both of us.
"I'm sorry!" I said panicking and when I stood up I outstretched my hand for the person to take it.
Only the moment the person took my hand I realized who it was.
"For Merlin's sake, next time watch where you are going" He shouted angrily while dusting his clothes off.
"Draco! I really am sorry!" I am such a fool. For me to behave like this, is just stupid.
When I apologized he blinked rather fast. He probably didn't expect for me to apologize like that.
"J.. just watch next time." He stuttered while looking me up and down. "Where is your Quidditch uniform?"
When he said that, only then I realized that I completely forgot why was I even running.
"We have practice now!" He finished while fixing his hair, as if it won't get messy later on in practice.
"I fell asleep in the library, and no one woke me up, so I am now late!"
I couldn't hear Draco's answer because I was now running up the stairs towards my room.
I quickly put my uniform on and took the broom that Draco gave me. I was not that pleased to have a broom that someone else gave me, especially not from him but right now that was the only one I had.
I run down the stairs and and out of the common room.
"Shit! Why are you so fast?!" Draco shouted between the heavy breaths.
I stopped in my trunks, not believing that he is still here.
He almost bumped into my back. "Why did you stop?"
"First of all, I am fast because I am way taller than you and second, why in the world are you still here?!" I turned towards him only to find him with his arms crossed.
"Flint won't shout at you if I am with you!" He said turning his head away from me.
'Wow that was umm... sweet of him' I thought to myself not really sure if he meant what he said.
"And I will grow, and be way taller than you!" He crossed his arms and made an angry expression.
'He was pouting now,' I thought. "Cute," I said without thinking.
"What did you said?" He looked at me more serious then ever.
"Just that you are cute." I patted him on the head. When I can't get out of this, then why don't I make it into a joke. He was indeed small.
He pushed my hand away. "In a few years I will be the one who would look down at you." He smirked.
"Yeah right!"
"We are late, hurry!" He just brushed of my comment and started going towards the one of the inner gardens where we were supposed to find the rest of our team.
"Thanks, by the way!" I said while walking next to him.
"You're welcome." He whispered and I smiled at him and after that, he actually returned the smile. And I suddenly felt heat coming to my face." That probably was from running, nothing else.
"You are late," Flint said when we finally arrived at the place of the meeting.
Draco and I just stood there in silence waiting for Flint to shout at us.
But he didn't. He just looked at Draco then at me and scoffed. After that, he just turned around and started walking towards Quidditch training grounds, but soon after he stopped.
Even if I was just a little bit taller than Draco I still couldn't see what was happening since everyone was at least four heads taller than me.
"Where do you think you are going Flint?!" I could hear someone said, but I still couldn't see them.
"Quidditch practice!" Flint answered, not raising a voice, it seems as he wasn't bothered by the sudden question.
"I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today!" Said the voice again.
And since it was the Gryffindor team that stood before us, Wood was the one who was taking to Flint.
"Easy Wood, I got the note!"
'And I was right.' I thought while they continued to argue.
Wood snatched the note and stated reading it.
"I, Professor Severus Snape do hereby give the Slytherin team to permission to practice today owing to the need to train their new seeker and chaser."
When Wood finished with the note I could see that Hermione and Weasley were already beside the Gryffindor team to see what is going on.
"You got a new seeker and a chaser, who?"
With that Flint and few others moved a little so that Draco and I could be seen.
We stepped forward both smug as ever, proud to be on the team.
"Malfoy?!" Potter said loosing all hope. And he didn't even see me. His obsession with Draco is unbelievable.
The rest of the team sent me some dirty looks. And Hermione somehow looked disappointed. But I am not sure why.
"That is right, that's not all what's new this year." Draco tossed his new broom from hand to hand.
"Those are Nimbus two thousand and one!" Weasley pointed out not believing his eyes. "How did you get those?"
"A gift from Draco's father!" Flint just had to brag about it.
"See Weasley unlike some, my father can afford the best!" Draco started making fun of him and I didn't want to join, it just felt wrong. Even if I despise that guy.
"At least on the Gryffindor team they don't have to buy they way in, they got in on pure talent" Hermione spat back, and I could feel a strange pain in my chest. It is not like she was telling that to me, but somehow it felt as if she was.
Draco slowly got closer to Hermione ready to start back. For brief moment I could see the hurt in his eyes but only for a moment, soon rage filled his eyes and he bursted out.
"No one asked for your opinion you filthy little mudblood?"
When I realized what he said I squeeze him on his shoulder and slowly spun him around.
"Draco that was too much!" I couldn't say anything else because all the people around us but we are going to have a big conversation about this.
"You will pay for that one Malfoy, eat slugs!" Weasley shouted, but the spell never hit Draco. Instead Weasley was the one who was laying a few meters away from us.
Ina few seconds everyone surrounded him.
While he struggled to stood up all of the Slytherin team was laughing. But when he started throwing up slugs, the volume of laughter drastically increased, and I almost threw up myself but thank Merlin that I didn't , or else I would be in a worse state then Weasley.
