A HIDDEN SECRET #wattys2017

CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE SECRET I HIDE FROM DAD

I said the Gryffindor password which was 'Pumpkins playing Quidditch' and climbed through the portrait hole. I needed to talk to Heather. For some reason I just had to get her to forgive me.
I spotted Cassandra and Tommy sitting on the couch reading 'Quidditch through the ages'. They didn't seem to realize I was there.
"Um- hey...do you know where I can find Heather ?" I asked rubbing the back of my neck. Tommy immediately got up and glared at me.
"What do you want Malfoy ?!"
"I- I just wanted to talk to Heather "
"She doesn't want to talk to you " Cassandra said, her arms crossed.
"Please....I really need to talk to her. "  I pleaded. I was that desperate.
"What's all this about ?" Heather said coming down from the dormitory. She saw me and gasped. "What the bloody are you doing here... AGAIN !??" She screeched.
"He was here before !?" Tommy spat. I nodded slowly and remembered how over protective he was of me.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry...I really am. I just wanted to impress my friends. I can't look weak.. Im a Malfoy ! I can't have a bad name.  I'm not really evil. So is my brother. We're just doing what our father asked us too. So again...will you forgive me ?" I asked hopefully.
"Wow. You just poured your heart out to us ?!" Heather said half giggling and half embarrassed.
"Yeah." I said awkwardly. "So...apology accepted ?"
"Yeah. Sure "she said.  I was so happy. Finally SHE FORGAVE ME !!!
"Oh thank you, thank you , THANK you !" I said giving Heather a rib- cracking hug.
"Oh- okay. Let- me- go !!!" She begged. I let go of her still grinning like crazy. 
I said a quick goodbye and went out the portrait hole.
I skipped all the way to the dungeons. Vince and Bones were waiting for me by the portrait of an old dying man.(he just looked that way. He would never die. He's in a painting after all).
"Password ?" He asked weakly.
"Kill Mudbloods"I said calmly and the three of us climbed in. Unlike the Gryffindor common room, the Slytherin's one was surrounded with pale green furniture, couches, carpet, chairs and tables. Even the fire in the fireplace was green.
"Where were you off too, Gideon ?" Bones asked. 
"Oh- um- I just went to tell off that Mudblood Heather. " I said. They nodded and cackled.
"Good one boss " Vince said.
H settled myself in a green single couch and thought about Heather's beautiful hair, her grey eyes and pale face that makes her pink lips obvious. Did I just say that !??
No no no No.
"Seriously, Gideon...what's gotten into you lately ?!" Bones asked, curious.
"I was just thinking about the Mudbloods  I might hex later. You know ... Maybe the Bat Bogey Hex."I said...sweat dripping down my face.
"Ooo I wouldn't want to miss that.

TIME SKIP ~ Two hours later.

"Do it Gideon.. Do it !" Vince said and Bones cheered. Two innocent first year Ravenclaws  were at my feet right now.
"Do a spell !" Vince reminded me. I put on a fake evil smirk.
"Avis" I muttered and birds flew out at the end of my wand. They began pecking in kid in the head and as for the other two fellows, "Furnunculus".
Boils appeared on their skin. The three of them ran away screaming "Boily Birdies !"
"Locomotor Mortis " I muttered and the legs of a third year girl who was watching, locked immediately.
"That was spectacular boss !" Vince cried and I smirked (a fake one).
"Let's go back to the common room now. I'm exhausted." I mumbled. We made our way down the very busy corridor.
"Did you see what Malfoy did ?!"'
"He was awesome !"
"They deserve it"
These were all I got, walking down.
"Thank you, bye now !" I said as I escaped the crowd. Me winking at a few first year Slytherin girls made them squeal and faint.
I passed them and walked down the other corridor as fast as I could.
"You know...I didn't like what you pulled off there " said a voice that I recognized.
"Heather ?" I said jumping.
"I thought you were good inside " she said, her eyes full of disappointment.
"And I thought I told you that I'm forced to do them. Just following orders." I said coolly.
"Yeah, but you could have gone easy on them. Poor little first years came to me for help." She said coming out of the shadows. Her bright grey eyes were glowing in the dark.
"I know but everyone expects me to do some amazing spells, Heather. " I said smiling at her. She returned a smile and said " sooner or later, you're going to have to tell them the truth. Including your father."
My face fell. I knew I'd have to. But not right now.
