Bloodlines (Draco Malfoy Story)

Chapter 6

Draco’s POV

 “There he is.” Pansy’s voice immediately greeted me as I stepped inside the Sytherin’s common room.

 I ignored her and sat down on the leather green couch. Blaise and Crabbe were sitting on the opposite couch. I heard Pansy scoffed and slumped on the seat beside me. I could feel her annoyed aura beside me but being me I just shrugged it off.

“How are you Draco?” Blaise asks. Come to think of it I haven’t talked to them in a while.

 “Busy.” I answered as I rested my arm on the arm rest of the couch.

 “We noticed.” Pansy cut in, she still looked annoyed. “Being head boy and all.” She adds with a smirk.

“Are you trying you annoy me Pansy?” I spat. She has changed all of the sudden. Last time I checked she had some feelings for me and now she hates me.

 She raised her hands in defeat and shuts up. I came here to the common room to get my mind of all the things that happened this month. Being head boy was so much work this year. The barrier that was protecting Hogwarts was still destroyed during the war and it was still being made permanent by powerful wizards. Therefore, we had to extend of patrolling hours until 3 in the morning to ensure no one breaks in Hogwarts Grounds.  

“Actually the whole issue is tickling my curiosity mate.” Blaise said as he rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger.

 “And why does it make you curious?” I raised an eyebrow.

 ‘Well, mate. You always hated Hogwarts, you only became a prefect because your father wanted you to and now that he’s in Azkaban you suddenly accept Head Boy? Why the sudden decision?” Blaise had a point.

 “This is the only way to get the Malfoy name cleaned again.” I replied with no emotion at all. It was simple as that.

“People look at you with disgust Draco.” Pansy points out. I already know that.

 “That’s pretty obvious Pansy.” I rolled my eyes. “Of course they would hate me Pansy. I summoned DeathEaters into the school and not to mention I did countless of things I am not very proud of.”

Slytherins still admired what I did and some still feared me, those who weren’t from dark families at least. But, most of the school hated me for all the things I did, well they hated me ever since but that hatred grew when I caused chaos in the school during the sixth year and last year.

 “How is it working with a know-it-all dirty half-blood?” Crabbe asks while he munches on his last chocolate frog. Come to think of it Crabbe for once spoke with sense.

 “Paige, you mean?” Crabbe nodded and I try to muster out an answer. “She’s fine. She is more bearable to work with than Granger.”

“I still can’t believe she was chosen to be head girl.” Pansy said her tone rather harsh. She was also nominated to be head girl but considering she was a Slytherin and she had past issues with other prefects they reconsidered. “I am equally skilled as she is.” She boasted.
