Dark Temptations

Heist

The next few days went on pretty boring. I decided to follow Draco's rules without him knowing, I went to class excelled ate all three meals dressed appropriately. I figured I'd try to get a taste of what he was asking from me with out agreeing yet. But now it was Friday which meant I was to stay with him for the weekend, I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to do that without getting caught. I had already been to classes for the day now I was just waiting for dinner. I had barely seen draco he made it to class but would keep to himself mostly.

I decided I would just show up at his room after dinner that would be the best way. I grabbed out my black leather duffel from under the bed. The rules said that he would give me something to wear but because he wasn't expecting me I figured I'd bring my own. I thought hard as I stared at the clothes hanging infront of me. I wanted something sexy yet comfortable to sleep in then I would need something to wear during the day. I had a couple sets of cute pajamas so I grabbed those up stuffing them into the bag, then decided on what to wear during the day. I wasn't sure what I would be doing during the day so I wasn't really sure what to bring, it was getting cooler out though so I didn't want to be cold. I decided on black skinny jeans with rips in the knees matched with a forest green top and black cardigan. Shoes were hard to choose I didn't really have many so I settled on some basic ankle length black boots.  I gather some other small things to make my sleep over more comfortable, some hair ties my favorite slippers soaps and toothbrush qnd gathered it all up with my pillow. I looked like a child going to their first slumber party. What if I showed up and he sent me away? How embarrassing or what if I hate it and want to go back to my dorm? I had already spent two different nights there so I don't think it could be that bad.

I waited for dinner checking the time constantly, I really hoped that he would be there tonight. It was the first weekend of the new school year so I don't think he would leave. Plus everyone usually hangs around the common room and unwinds together after the first week of classes, he never one to miss a party. Which made me think how the slytherins always seemed to get alcohol for all the parties they threw? Mom would probably give me some if I asked but I don't know how she would feel about sneaking it into school. I guess some peoples parents are more leanyant with their kids. Friday night and I still had two hours before dinner. I could probably go to hogsmead and see what I could get, draco would definitely want to leave the dorm if there was a party. I grabbed my sweater and slipped on black shoes and headed qua out of the dorms. I needed to get out of this room. The corridor felt damp and cold, the dungeons are so dreary.

I walked until I made it to hogsmead, the shops were following with students going in and out from shop to shop. I headed into the three broomsticks, I had never been in by myself. I made myself comfortable at one of the empty tables in the corner. The fireplace in the middle of the room warm the whole building. A waiter came by and asked if I wanted anything, mostly the only sold liquor here so I stuck to a butterbeer one of the only things I knew they'd serve me. I sat there staring into the fire passing time. I wanted to make sure I could get some alcohol for the party I still wasn't sure how I was going to do that though. I watched as the waiters and bartender moved through the room. There has to be an opening where I can snatch something, there's no way everyone else managed to just sneak it all in, there was too much. The bartender made drinks behind the bar the waiters brought the drinks to the table over and over again the same circle. Finally I saw the man behind the counter walk out and go down some steps in the back of the room and come back a few moments later with a fist full of unopened bottles. That where they keep them now the only question was how to get down there without anyone seeing.

As time passed the restaurant grew busier. The more people that piled in the more the staff scurried around trying to keep up. This was my opportunity I left some money on the table and got up, slowly making my way to the stairs in the back. When I saw that the staff was all overwhelmed and busy I hustled down the steps. The room was slightly underground and cold but the walls were stacked to the ceiling with crates all containing different liquors. I quickly searched through them slipping bottles into my bag Dragons breath whiskey, unicorn blood vodka, Mr. Flickwoods magical elixir, and witches brew. My bag was getting heavy so I decided my hiest was over. I crept back to the steps and peaked around the corner, the restaurant was still busy so I took the opportunity to sneak up. I made my way to the front as quickly as possible without arising suspicion. Finally I was out the doors, I took a deep breath. I made it, I felt excelirated. I hadn't managed to get just one bottle but four. This would last my friends and I weeks.

With my success I decided I should pick up a few things while in town. I went to honey dukes and got some treats for all of us, and the quill shop for some school supplies. I started back towards the school, my bag clinked as I walked but I was careful not to break any of the glass. I went straight to the dining hall a risky move but I wanted to be sure not to miss everyone.

I sat at our usual spot with everyone waiting. They had already began the conversation so I just made myself comfortable and filled a plate. Lucas and Blaise chatted as Blair, violet and onyx talked about what they were going to wear tonight.

"So Cleo what are you planning on wearing?" Violet coed.

"I hadn't thought about it yet but I do have something to show you guys!" I was excited to show off my loot.

I opened my bag beside me and everyone peered in.

"Blimey Cleo where did you manage to score all of that?" Blaise seemed astonished.

"I have my ways." I teased.

"So that's the plan then well all meet at Cleo and Blair's room for a little pre party?" Onyx chimes in.

"Yes! Guests finally! You should see what Cleo did to our room mum spare no expense this year!" Blair's vioce was perky as ever.

"Someone should tell Malfoy he's gonna be pissed if we all meet up with out him." Lucas chinned in.

"Bloody hell where is he? He's like a ghost these days one minute his here and next poof his gone." Violet exclaimed.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one noticing his disappearing act lately, I didn't want to be the one asking about him. I had barely seen him all week and it was getting exhausting having him on my mind constantly.

"I'll let him know, don't worry." Blaise smirked at Violet which caught my attention.

Was Violet interested in Malfoy too or worse was she under his contract. I don't think she could be there's no way he'd have us both staying with him every weekend, and she seemed to do whatever she wanted. I was probably just thinking too much about it.

"So girls you wanna come straight after dinner we'll all get ready together?" I was trying to move the conversation away from draco and his misterious behavior.

Everyone nodded in agreement. I finished with my meal quickly so I could be the first one back. Blair followed suit. I grabbed up the bag and we made our way to the room.
