Poking The Dragon - 𝐃.𝐌 / 𝐌.𝐂

Chapter 33

"I swear to god if I have to help that bitch one more time today, I will fucking kill her." I sit down on the green leather sofa in the common room, "It's the second day and she's asked me several times which hallway she has to patrol today which she damn well knows!" Lydia laughs softly at me; I give her a deadly glare.

"How do you like being head girl besides her?" I lean my head back on the couch, closing my eyes. "It's great to be honest, the other prefects are adorable. Especially the Gryffindor ones, they're so chubby."

Just then Draco and Blaise walk into the common room laughing loudly. "And what have you two been up to?" They join us on the couch, "We used some exploding whizz poppers on some annoying first years." My jaw drops on the floor, "You do know you're talking to a head girl, right?"

"Yeah but come on Em. You won't do anything to us. We're buddies." Blaise softly punches my shoulder, "What house were they in?" I narrow my eyes at them, they've now only realised that I'm not kidding.

"I believe they were Gryffindors."

"Detention, for both of you." I blow them a kiss, "Emilia! No!" They both start yelling at me. "Do you want two detentions?!" I yell out, I quite like this new authority. It gives me a sense of power.

They both quiet down, I can't help but smirk. "I was just talking to Lydia at my newfound love for the Gryffindor prefects." Their eyes open in shock, "But we didn't know that!"

"You shouldn't use fireworks on first years at all!" I shake my head in disbelief, "I'm going to check on the prefects controlling the halls, I'll make sure to see professor Slughorn in the meantime. To alert him of your detention." I turn my heel and walk away.

"Em!" Draco jogs after me, grabbing my arm. "We were just joking around, don't be such a buzzkill." I laugh softly, "I'm sorry but I can't make exceptions for you guys. If anyone else used fireworks on first years they'd get detention too! Probably multiple detentions, I'm being soft on you guys."

He sighs as he crosses his arms, "As long as you allow us a little bit of fun every now and then." I reach over and kiss his lips softly, "Of course I'll let you have your, it's the second day. I have to set the right example. And landing you a detention will definitely look good on my resume."

He grabs my hand tightly, "Can I walk with you on your rounds?" I shrug, "If you really want to, we'll be checking Serena first. I don't know how happy that'll make you."

"It'll make me happy to rub this in her face." He motions to me and to our hands clasped together firmly.

We walk the halls for a while, luckily Serena's appointed hallway is on the other side of the castle. "What happened between you two? She really turned into a bitch." He chuckles softly, "Well, as you may have already noticed I was just using her. Using her for sex, for a date to the ball and mostly to make you jealous."

I can't help but laugh softly, "So why did it end?" He looks to the ground, his cheeks flush a slight shade of red. "Well, she wasn't too happy that I moaned your name whilst we were together after the ball." I can't help but burst out in laughter, "You actually said my name?"

He bumps his shoulder against mine, "Don't joke around, she was pretty pissed. Punched me in the face and all." I cover my mouth with hands, trying to stop laughing but I can't. This explains her sudden bitchiness. "I was going to break it off with her anyways, I saw how gorgeous you looked at the ball and then the afterparty. You were gorgeous."

His eyes soften as he looks at me, "I'm so sorry for ruining the afterparty for you, I was a dick and deserved it." I chuckle softly, "I get it. And don't worry you didn't ruin it. I had a fun time despite your dick move."

"Oh great, you brought Draco! Finally got your plaything back Drew?" Serena is standing in the middle of the hallway with her arms crossed, a displeased look on her face. "Fuck off Serena." I grit through my teeth, "Don't worry Draco dear, she'll dispose of you once she finds another half-blood to drool over."

"Too bad for you, Michael was a pureblood honey." I take a few steps closer to her, I'm taller than her which makes intimidating her very easy. "Whatever, you had that Irish idiot too a while back. He was a half-blood."

"Have you patrolled your hallways?" I say, trying to keep my cool. "Are you dodging the subject? How adorable!" She lets out a shrill laugh, "I'm trying to do my job as Head girl Serena. Now get back to your post or I'll go to Dumbledore and relieve you from your prefect position."

She immediately shuts up and gives me an empty glare, "Well, if you have nothing to report we'll go check on the others." I fake a smile at her, and grab Draco's hand and we walk away quickly. "I swear to god she's horrible." He laughs as he pushes a strand of hair away from my face.

"Don't listen to her, she's just a heartless bitch."

"That's the point, she was so gullible and sweet last year. We definitely ruined her." He throws his head back as he laughs, "We probably did, but whatever let's call her collateral damage. I'm just glad everything worked out for us in the end."

We walk towards professor Slughorns office, "Professor! Blaise Zabini and Draco here have earned themselves a detention." I pat Draco on his back, earning a chuckle from professor Slughorn. "What have they done to deserve detention on the second day?"

"Draco come on, tell him." Draco looks at the ground as he sighs, "We used some fireworks on first years." Slughorns eyes widen, "Well then, that indeed calls for a detention. Thank you, Miss Drew. Mr Malfoy you and Zabini can report in my office tomorrow at 8PM sharp."

"We will sir."
