Professor Malfoy

28 | up, up!

Chapter 28
___________

For a long while, I'm dancing with Lara in the middle of the dance floor with people all over judging us. They don't even have to say anything, we can see their eyes examining our every move.

And then, I don't even know when, the drug hits me like a wrecking ball. I feel someone's hands on my waist, I figure out they're just Lara's, so I keep dancing.

The mixture of sounds, glimpses of light reflections and a mass of people dancing around me is making my head twist, my mind go crazy. The drug left a pleasant strawberry taste on my tongue and worked almost immediately. My sight is blurring everything I see and making all the colors more alive, everything's so colorful.

The hands on my waist move a bit lower than appropriate, making their way to my thighs and butt from behind. Again, I don't think much of it, it's probably just Lara feeling horny.

But after a while, I hear Draco's voice in my mind. Jealous and annoyed, I've never heard a tone like that.

"Why are you dancing all over Theo?"

I turn my head to Theo behind me and no word come out of my mouth as I don't know what to say. So I exchange a little smile with him and put my arm over his shoulder, make my way to his hair.

"Why not?" I ask provocatively.

It would be pleasant if the world didn't spin around me. I hear music, but only as if it's far, far away from me. Lara is pulling me away from the crowd of people, maybe she wants some fresh air. I hope she does, and I hope it helps with the dizziness. I don't like the way I feel.

Bumping into one student to another, like that we pass everyone and finally make it to the entrance door, leaving our friends my the table. I swear I heard them calling our names, but my mouth is shut and I can't say a word. It feels like every move I make, it's slower than usual and it requires much more strength. So opening my mouth would be a whole workout.

I can walk, though. Or I think so. I feel my legs move, but Lara's doing most of it by constantly pulling my hand. I might even be running. I don't even know when or how, but we made it out of the Great hall. The air is much fresher than the one in the hall, which makes my head stop spinning. At least for a while.

"Where are we going?" I ask Lara. My voice sounds...different. Like it's not even me.

Still holding my hand, she turns to me with a smile from ear to ear, "up!"

I frown my face, "up?"

She pulls my hand so fast I almost fall down to ground, "up, up, up!"

I look behind me on the empty hallway and continue walking behind Lara. It hits me again, the drug. I figured it comes in intervals, with worse and worse effects. One second I'm mad at Lara for giving me this shit, for making me leave the party. I'm angry at Pansy for not stopping me. I'm...furious at Draco for lots of things.

And the another second, I can't feel anything.
Anything at all.

Once again, my mouth closes and I can't bring myself to speak up, especially when we come to a staircase. At least I think it's a staircase - I can't see properly. My eyes are shutting down for long seconds and if Lara wasn't pulling my hand, I'd fall asleep right on the floor. I don't feel good, my eyelids feel heavy.

We turn around a corner and that's when I feel my wings fall down as they bang against a stone wall. I hear them fall down, so I slowly turn to them, but we're already walking higher and higher on the stairs.

"Wait, my wings..." I manage to let out of my mouth as I stretch my arm behind me for the wings.

Lara only pulls me tighter, "we don't have time,"
