Contrary to the popular belief, Slytherins were highly compassionate, and very intelligent, as well as loyal and brave. Just put all the benefits of all the three other houses and combine them into one. The difference between Slytherins and the other houses, was their capacity for knowing when to shut up, and when to act up. Plus there was the fact that they were highly ambitious, magically inclined, and very secretive. But still, while most Gryffindors would have you believe that Slytherins are nothing more than conniving liars who will take no issue in stabbing you in the back (metaphorically of course) that was not really Slytherin.
Draco crumbled the paper and set if on fire, before dropping it and watching the ash fall to the floor. It was difficult to write this. More so than he had previously believed it to be.
"What is going on, Draco?" Pansy asked him. Draco sighed, shaking his head slightly.
"I am trying to write this. It needs to be done by tonight."
"So take a break. You have the rest of the evening to finish it up. It is not as though you will die if you do not finish it today." Pansy reasoned.
"I need to..."
"What you need." Blaise cut in firmly. "Is to rest. You have been working yourself up and over the moon about this paper for the last three hours. It is time to take a break for a couple minutes. Overworking yourself to try and finish the paper is not going to do you any favors, and it will piss Tom off." Draco groaned. As much as he hated to admit it Blaise and Pansy did have a point.
"Fine, but only for a moment." Pansy squealed in excitment and Blaise smirked happily.
"Good."
"Why are we here?" Draco asked, turning to Blaise, Pansy, and Theo with narrowed eyes. He did not have time to just go wandering off on school grounds to play.
"Hey, cool it, you agreed to taking some time off. You have been stuck in the castle for ages, and not only that, but I do not even want to count how long that would have been before school actually started. This is going to be good for everybody." Theo said with a smile. Draco muttered choice words under his breath. He hated it when his friends were so right that he could not even attempt to argue with them. It was annoying.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, whatever." Draco conceded. "I will have you know that the paper is highly important for our next phase in the plan."
"The next next phase, or the next phase?" Theo countered. Draco grumbled annoyed that Theo had seen through his attempted deception.
"As I thought, that means that you have plenty of time to take a few hours, rest, have some fun, and just be not in the castle. You need to branch out. You cannot be stuck in the dorm at all hours of the day and night." Draco deadpanned a stare at Blaise.
"Okay, well, you can but it is not good for your physical or mental health."
"Blaise, my mental health was shot to hell years ago, as for my physical health, I am in rather good physical condition given my circumstances thank you very much."
"Draco, do we need to get Tom?" Pansy asked. Draco grimanced. Tom was busy, and he did not want to have to bother him at this time, not when he was busy. Who knew the types of things that could happen, to the one who bothered him, and to him.
"No, no, it is fine. But only for a few hours. No more, okay?" Draco bargained. The three others nodded thankfully. It was a miracle to even get Draco to agree to go out.
