Drarry - The boy who loved

3. Witty encounter

Draco's POV

After my encounter with Potter I head back to the Slytherin house only to find as I walk down the steps that two girls think they can sit in my seat. I make my way over to them and stop before my chair. "Scram." I say with a glare towards them. They both scurry off to the girls side of the dorm and I throw myself down into my chair with my legs lying over one of the arms, "Oh its good to be me."

Crabbe and Goyle appear on the couch infront on me, or more like waddle there. "And where have you two been?"

"Ermmm...ahhh."

I just roll my eyes at their pathetic excuses, "Been stuffing our faces again have we huh boys?" These two are really starting to get on my nerves and we've only been back at Hogwarts a few hours.

"Were sorry Draco..."

"Don't even bother. And you call your self Slytherin's. Apologising at every given opportunity is not helping got case. If it wasn't for your father's I'd hex you right here and now." I say with a smirk. They know what I am and it pains them to think that they are not, the only one that I even remotely loyal is Blaise who has made his way over to the couch before me and sits down throwing his legs over Goyle as if he was a throw rug.

"So how was your summer Draco?" Blaise asks.

"Oh you know ... Eventful."

"I hear someone has taken over daddy's footsteps, is that true?" I hadn't told anyone myself what had happened over the summer but it seems news travels fast, especially when it comes to what are seen as sensitive subjects such as this.

"That it is my dear Zabini. Why? You scared?" I say with a wink.

"I'll still take you on any day Malfoy!"

"Good," I chuckle. "I have a mission to complete actually. Simple really."

"Oh yeah and what is that?"

"Ah ah ah top secret my friend." I say as I don't actually quite know myself. I am waiting on an owl from my godmother, Bellatrix to confirm my task.

"Well if you can't tell me that can you at least show my your new addition?" Blaise says eagerly.

"I don't see why not," I say rolling up the sleeves on my robes. As I lift it up I turn my arm so that my forearm is risen and the darken signature of the death eaters is clearly visible on my arm. The guys on the couch all stare in awe at it and I swear I see a pang of jealousy in their eyes, if only they knew the complications that's come with having it. "I'm going to bow out for a bit guys, I need check on my owl. Don't wait up for me," I say jokingly before heading out of the common room, picking up a glass of pumpkin juice that was on the table and walk out with it. It was probably one of the first years but nobody bothers to stop me so I walk out of the common room and into the hallowed halls.

I walk out the dungeons and down the hall heading out towards the floating stairs but as I turn the corner someone goes slamming into my chest spilling the pumpkin juice straight down the front of my robes.

"Hey I'm sorry..." They say but all I can do is see red. My pristine robes are now covered in thick orange slime.

"Oh no I am so so sorry!" They pull out their wand and I recognise the wand before the person. An eleven inch holy wood with a phoenix feather core. Although only slightly larger than my own I've been on the tail end of this wand long enough to know who it belongs to.

"Potter!" I spit as I grab his wrist tightly within my grasp.

He looks up at me his piercing green eyes staring into my own but he won't look away so I throw his hand back down causing him to drop his gaze. "I didn't mean it I'm so sorry D... Malfoy."

"My robes are ruined now Potter!"

"It's only a splash Malfoy..." He contests.

I hold my hand up to stop him, "Its ruined! My father will hear about this Potter." He doesn't even try to come back at me with anything. Strange. "What are you doing down here anyway? Had a fight with Weaseldork?"

"Maybe. What's if got to do with you anyway?" He says defensively.

"Jeez calm it Potter! But now you've mentioned it I want the news." He smirks slightly at my reply and goes on to tell me anyway.

"Well basically I told him the Ginny was pregnant..."

I can't help but snort at the thought of it causing him to look at me, his eyebrows raised, "Carry on," I say containing my laughter.

"It was a joke but he went off on one and told me I belonged in Slytherin like the sorting hat told me all those years ago."

"Wait what?!" Bloody hell Draco keep it down! Don't want everyone out knowing you're out her talking to Potter of all people, " The Chosen one belongs in Slytherin? As in my Slytherin?!"

"Yes oh dear Slytherin Prince the sorting hat told me I belonged there... Why? Scared I would have taken away your crown?" He says with a smirk.

"No! I just ... Don't believe it. How did you end up in godly Gryffindor then?"
"I asked to be put there. I didn't think I belonged anywhere else, especially Slytherin." He almost spits the final word and it hurts a little.

"Ooh sorry am I not good enough for your royalness? Did I put you off at our little encounter on the stairs before hand?" I say with a wink.

"God Malfoy you make it sound like we got off with each other or something," he says with a laugh.

"Very funny Potter, you know what I meant."

"Oh I know what you meant but I'm enjoying this..."

I feel myself blush at his words, "Oh piss off Potter." What am I doing? Malfoy should show emotion let alone blush! What am I a girl!

"You know Malfoy..." He steps closer to me and onto his toes so that his mouth is by my ear, "You couldn't handle me anyway..." And with that he walks away.

I stand there a moment not knowing how to reply before I call after him, "Just watch where you're walking net time Potter!"

***

Okay so I know that only the inner circle received the dark marks but for the purpose of my writing I am going to say that Draco received one as it will be a link further on in the story :)

I thought it would be a cute addition that Draco would recognise Harry by his wand, sort of a bit of  subliminal Drarry messages in Draco's mind.

Hope you liked it!
