The Art Of Seduction (Draco Malfoy)

Phase Three

When she woke up the next morning, all groggy and tired, Scarlett sighed. She stared down at Harvey's sleeping figure, smiling when she saw his face looking better and less swollen. Madame Pomfrey sure did a great job. But as she arch her back and stretched her eyes caught a figure standing next to her. She looked up to see Dumbledore smiling at her, his eyes kind.

Scarlett stretched her back further and rubbed her eyes. She probably looked a fright.

"Are you here to kick me out? Because I'm not going anywhere," she warned.

The headmaster chuckled. "Oh no my child, I'm just checking up on you."

"Why?" she yawned.

"No reason," he glance down at Harvey. "Oh look he's waking up."

Her head snapped down to meet Harvey's warm brown eyes. Her eyes began to water again and she hugged him, mumbling her apology. But he just chuckled though it obviously pained him.

"Not to worry Scarlett. I'll be fine. It's nothing I'm not used to."

Her eyes grew sad. "Is there anything I can get you?"

"I'm a bit hungry, if its not too much trouble? Has breakfast started?"

Scarlett shrugged, standing up with little energy and passed him his tray of food. Madame Pomfrey had left it for when he woke up.

"What's wrong?" Harvey asked but the headmaster answered.

Dumbledore smiled as she cranked her neck, tiredly. "She's just a little tired. Scarlett's been here all night, my boy. She never left your side. It's what ture friends do."

Harvey's grin grew even more. "That's really nice of you Scarlett."

She smiled weakly at him before dismissing herself. She felt awkward. He shouldn't be so nice to her. She didn't deserve it. "I'll be back later Harvey, I need to shower and such. Is that alright with you?"

Harvey laughed. "Of course, it is. Take your time."

She smiled at him before glancing up at a very suspicious Dumbledore. She could tell he knew what had happend with Draco, but chose to not say anything. She was grateful for that.

"Alright well, see you later old man!" She waved. "Bye Harvey."

He mumbled. "Bye" with his mouth full. While Dumbledore chuckled.

After taking a shower and handing in her papers to the Professors, Scarlett made her way down to the Great Hall. She was furious with Draco and decided to sit with the Gyffindors instead but as she walked over, Crabbe and Goyle blocked her entry.

"Move it, bone heads!"

"We can't do that," Goyle said to her.

Scarlett's eyes narrowed. "Why the hell not?"

"Because," Crabbe explained. "Draco wants to speak with you. You best get going, he doesn't like to be kept waiting. He's-"

"Shutup you imbeciles!" Scarlett scoffed before pushing both of them. "You can both tell your precious leader to go to hell where he belongs because I want nothing to do with him!"

"Is that so?" Draco's voice tickled her insides.

Scarlett turned around and glared at his deliciously handsome face. "Yes, it is!"

"That's too bad," he spoke calmly as if yesterday didn't happen. "because I have a surprise for you."

She eyed him suspiciously and crossed her arms. She would not cave. She would not cave. She- "What is it?" her curiousity won.
