Cabinet Conundrum

Questions

Last Time:

Draco huffed at the obvious attempt to find out everything and stubbornly went back to his room while trying to ignore the smirk he felt coming from the Slytherin behind him, (Jerk ... I'll find a way to get passed him.)

XXXXXXXXXX

At this moment the most annoying sound Draco ever heard was the scratching of quills against parchment. He tried to get passed Blaise during the night, but nothing worked. After nearly midnight he gave up and went to sleep or, at least, he tried to. It was difficult since he just couldn't get his mind off of Harry and the mystery surrounding him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw that very green eyed wizard taking the NEWT exam for Charms a few seats away ...

(Maybe I'll try to get a closer seat next time ... to keep an eye on him.) He mentally added as he continued his exam, which as simple as he expected. When he finished he handed over his exam and left the classroom as one of the first to leave, which he was happy to see that, that alone pissed Granger off. It was the best way to catch the wizard after class though he was tempted to stay longer so he could watch Harry a little more ... for observation purposes only, of course ...

"He might take more to the end of class so 20 minutes." Draco mused as he waited outside the classroom for Harry, but he didn't have to wait long. Much to his shock Harry was the next to leave! Harry got out before Granger! "What did you do, Potter.? Skip half the test?" He snapped before he could stop himself. Of course, Draco winced afterwards as he mentally kicked himself for getting snarky with the very person he wanted so badly to get to know.

Much to the Malfoy's shock though Harry laughed and responded thusly, "I considered it, but to allow an opportunity, even one so mundane, to just pass by would be a waste. It really is sad when something so pathetic can get under one's skin."

"Y-yeah" Draco oh so smoothly stuttered. There was something so incredibly sexy about the sadistic smirk on the shorter wizard's lips that made the Malfoy shiver and stare in a daze as Harry walked away. It took a second for Draco to return to reality, but when he did he ran after the green eyed wizard, "Where did he go?" Draco muttered as he turned around the same corner that Harry disappeared, but saw nothing, "He can't go far since we have the Potions exam soon-" The blonde turned the next corner to continue searching for Harry, but froze. He nearly ran straight into none other than Filch and Mrs. Norris ...

Filch glared down at the Malfoy, "And where are you going boy? Don't you have exams to study for?"

"I ... yes, I was just waiting for my classmates to finish." Draco said as he took a step back. Filch for some reason seemed taller and more dangerous today. So much so that Draco didn't even sneer at the lowly squib like he usually would.

"Hey, Draco! Let's get to Potions a little ... e-early!" Theo exclaimed excitedly before squeaking a bit in fear as he spotted Filch.

Draco felt a little relieved that he wasn't the only one who thought Filch was more intimidating than usual, "Sure. Lets go, Theo." He said and turned to walk away with Theo, but then he glanced over his shoulder and saw something as the squib left in the opposite direction. Fangs! The snarl on Flich's face showed a pair of very sharp fangs, but as quickly as Draco saw them they were gone. Why the hell would a squib have fangs? Were they really there or was it his imagination? Draco wasn't sure, but it seemed like every corner he turned brought more questions and he knew everything could be answered by that conversation between Filch and Harry, but how?

Theo frowned as he saw Draco's face pale and walk a little faster away from Filch, "Are you ok? You've been acting odd lately."

"I'm fine, just thought I saw something." The blonde said as he and Theo were joined by Blaise, Pansy, Greg and Vincent.
