Shadows Know Me

Chapter Four

"There's no wind." I turn to Eve.

"That's weird. Anyways there's a party tonight Pansy says, you're welcome to come." Eve changed the subject looking excited.

Ilvermony never threw any sort of parties. We just drank in our dorms. So this could be fun.

"Yeah sure. Grab your things and we can start getting ready." I insisted.

She rushed out the door with excitement while I go through each party dress I owned. I select my sparkly, black, body fighting dress. Some dangly earrings that I probably spent too much on.

The locket stays around my neck. Eve comes back in with a suitcase filled with random things. She starts pulling out heat tools, jewelry and dresses.

"Ok but which one should I wear?" Eve stresses while holding each dress up to her body.

"This isn't a ball. Wear anything you feel confident in." I suggest but she ignored my advice.

While she narrows choices I use a charm I found to avoid using my heat tools because my hair is way too long for me to curl it all. Loose curls form just by the wave of my wand and Eve looks at me while holding 3 curling wands in her hand.

"Well I guess I didn't need these after all." She shrugs and threw them back in her suitcase.

"I'd have to say this is the best I've dressed in a while." I boasted while staring at myself in my mirror hanging on the wall just above the vanity.

I apply some light makeup with Eve by my side and we make our way to the common room where people are already drunk and I spot Grace next to the girl who they look almost the same.

"MAE!! What a wonderful surprise, look at my new friend! This is Luna." She introduced.

"Nice to see you again. Hope you are feeling at home here." Luna smiles while she ran off to be with Blaise who is accompanied with Pansy and Draco.

Grace pulls me towards all of them while Eve makes her way towards Harry and Hermione.

"Look who it is. I share a dorm with your little friend." Pansy sneered while clinging onto Draco.

Draco attempts to pull away from her as if she's squeezing him to death.

"I need a drink." I state finding myself next to a huge stash of alcohol on the table.

Pouring my drink I felt a hand grab the bottle I'm holding.

"Princess like you doesn't need that much." Malfoy slurred. Was he already drunk?

"Excuse me?" I questioned while he steals the bottle and stands a little too close to me.

"So you're still wearing that locket." Draco observed while finishing off the bottle.

"Yeah? Why?" I said confused as where he was getting at.

He puts his bottle down and his hand makes its way towards my chest where the locket is laid upon. He folds the locket in between his fingers and looks up at me. Letting go of the locket he turns back to the table and grabs another drink then walked away.

"Well that was weird." Hermione says popping out of nowhere.

"Tell me about it. He drank half a bottle of vodka too." I stated

"Doesn't surprise me. Maybe he's got his eye on you." She teased.

"Doubt that. Surprised his little doll over there didn't come over and shove a drink in my face." I joked.

The party went on but after one drink I was over it. My friends had found other friends and I got bored real fast. I sat on the couch while students took shots and the 6th years pressured the 1st years so drink. A typical party of young adults and teens.

"Hello again darling. My party had left me and I'm quite lost." Malfoy went on again finding his way back.

"That doesn't seem like my issue, does it Malfoy?" I muttered.

Sitting next to me for a while he was silent and didn't bug me like he just was. His friends had disappeared and everyone started heading back to their dorm rooms. Draco's head fell into my lap as he fell asleep and it couldn't be anymore awkward. I tried lifting his body up off me but it was heavy. 

It was now just me and Draco in the common room and my attempts of getting him up was failing.

"Draco get off of me." I whined.

Not even a response out of him. I finally find the momentum to pick him up off me and his body flopped on the couch. I start heading to my dorm but I can't just leave him here. Can I?

"Princess? You still there?" He grinned with a slight smirk.

"Malfoy, stop calling me that. I'm heading back to my room."

"Ok you have fun doing whatever."

"You should do the same."

"I can't get up" he whined laying one arm on the ground.

I ignore him and start leaving the common room until I heard footsteps behind me.

"What the bloody hell do you want Malfoy?" I turn and he's barely able to stand. He's completely insane. He was clearly wasted and doubt he'd be able to find his way back to his dorm so I prop his arm on my shoulder and carry him to my dorm. I could get in so much trouble for having a boy in my room. I couldn't just leave him wandering though.

His whole body fumbles into my bed and he pulls the sheets over his body as if it was his. I grab a jug of water and I try to force him to at least drink a little bit he's been quite stubborn.

For hours I've slowly gotten him to sober up just a little. I'm sitting on my floor reading entry's in my mothers journal trying to figure out things without him needed me for something.

I finally started to drift asleep until I felt something smack up against my head. A book.

"Why am I here?" He yelled.

"God damn. That hurt." I complain while he is rubbing his head with confusion.

"Didn't answer my question you filthy little-"

"You were waisted and wouldn't leave me alone. You were also too much of a dumbass to find your own dorm." I snapped. A bump formed on my head while he sat on my bed still wrapped in my sheets.

The only words he could form was "oh." When he came to realization. Someone starts frantically knocking. The knocking never stops. "Come in!" I yell and Eve walks in but quickly covers her eyes.

"Am i intruding on something?" She asked with her fingers wrapped tightly on her face.

"I wouldn't say come in you whore, now what's up." I reply.

"Girls are so mean to each other."

"Why is Malfoy in your room. Do you know how annoying it is already hearing Pansy and Astoria fight over this man?" She ranted on in front of him.

"He was wasted and lost. Now he's sober and can leave." I complain while putting away all of my books and diaries.

"I'm leaving." He pouts and found his stance now that he's way more sober than before.

Eve rambles on and on about how bad it was that I had Malfoy in my dorm room. I'm regretting it and sent Eve out of my room with a warning that no one shall know he was in here.

Picking up the sheets Draco left off the floor I wrap myself up and drift to sleep. Tomorrow we don't have any classes so it should be a good day to figure out where everything is.
