A Weakling, A Coward, And A Threat
It’s early in the morning and Harry feels like crap. He tossed and turned in bed all night. The first thing he did when awoke was turn to look at Draco’s bed which looked like it hadn’t been slept in. Making his way to common room in he was grateful that there were no clases on weekends.
Walking towards Hermione and Ron playing a game of chess he jumped when he heard a loud shriek coming from Ron.
“Hermione kill it!” Ron jumped off the sofa he was sitting on when he noticed the black spider crawling on the floor.
“I swear Ron it’s just a little spider.”
“I don’t care kill it! You know what? I’ll do it my self.” He fumbled to get his wand as Hermione shot him an exasperated look.
“Ron don’t!”
“Wingardium Leviosa” she said aiming her wand at the helpless arachnid. It floated in the air it’s eight legs flailing and Hermione calmly levitated it towards the window where she then released it outside. “I swear Ron you can’t just kill things.”
“Well excuse me. You’re not the one who got chased by giant man eating spiders on your second year. You just got to lay around in the infirmary taking a nice long rest.”
“I was paralyzed by the basilisk” she yelled defensively.
“Oh you know what I mean.” She crossed her arms angrily as Theo walked into the common room. Making his way to the sleeping quarters he purposely bumped into Harry.
“Hey! What’s the big idea?” Theo shot Harry a look of disgust.
“Draco is gone. I’ve spent hours looking for him and I can’t find him.” Harry’s stomach tightened as Theo stepped closer his jaw clenched in anger. “This is all your fault Potter you’ve always had it out for him.”
“Shut up!” Harry shoved Theo hard making the other man stumble backwards with anger on his face. “What about you? You said you and Draco weren’t even friends anymore. Now you wanna act like you care so much about him?”
Theo moved to lunch at Harry and as Harry step forward ready for a fist fight.
“Enough!” Hermione and Ron stepped in between then keeping both boys separated. Hermione grabbing Harry shoulder trying to push him away.
“Harry, please don’t do this.” Just the the door to the common room opened and Draco walked in. His face his expression cold and distant as he ignored them.
“Draco, we were so worried about you.” Hermione said as Draco gave a dismissive look his head held high as he ignored her and walked towards the dorm room.
“Hey Draco we need to talk.” Theo grabbed Draco’s arm and Draco looked at him with hate filled eyed pulling his wand from his pocket.
Harry watched in horror as with a flick of his wand Draco lifted Theo off the ground and slammed him against the wall. Theo let out a shocked gasp as he remained bound against the wall unable to move. Draco held his wand in the air his emanating light as Theo stared in wide eyed horror.
“Draco what are you doing? Stop it now!”
With a glance at Hermione he started moving his hands as a shocked Hermione translated.
“You don’t tell me what to do anymore Theo! You’re a weakling and a coward and I have no time for you. I have no time for any of you.”
Draco flicked his wand and Theo fell on a pile on the floor before Draco turned holding his wand and aiming it at Harry. Ron and Hermione pulled out their own wands and but Draco ignored them. With one hand he started talking and Hermione translated once more.
“Potter I was scared to come back to school. I know what people say. What people think, how they must hate me. I just wanted a chance to be different. So I want to thank you. Now I see what I must do and if you get in my way I’ll finish what the dark lord started.”
Draco then turned around and walked towards his dorm his robes flowing behind him dramatically as slammed the door behind him.
