That Damn Weasley Charm II G.W

Chapter 13- Draco's Detention

Emma smacks my head with a pillow. A fantastic way to wake up after a long night in my opinion. "You better go talk to Draco. He's lost us twenty points."

I turn in bed so I'm lying on my back and press my palms into my eyes. "washappenin" I mumble, my voice soaked in that early morning raspiness.

"He's in the common room. Go sort him out because the seventh years are ready to fight him." And with that Emma turns on her heels and walks out of our dorm. I sit up, get out of bed, and clumsily change into something comfortable; loose joggers and the sweater Mrs Weasley made for me.

As soon as step foot in the common room, yawning and rubbing my eyes Draco comes dashing up to me and throws his arms around my waist. "Don't let them hurt me! I didn't mean it I swear!" He says, his voice muffled. His little gang of first years come rushing over and they all start talking at once.

An older girl pushes past me into the dorms, "Control him." She says to me in a hushed voice.

I take Draco's hand and lead him out of the common room so we can talk without being interrupted. Together we start walking rather aimlessly through the halls.

"So I heard about Potters dragon, and saw it hatch, you remember that part right?" I nod a few times, I'm still not awake enough for this conversation. "And well I stole- not actually stole, more of borrowed a book when I went to visit Ron in the hospital wing. The dragon bit him did you know? His hand is a nasty shade of green and its all swollen."

When we turn the corner, Fred, George, and Lee are all standing there. Fred waves at me but I shake my head no, jutting my chin out to point at Draco beside me who's not paying any attention. He's still rambling, trying to avoid getting to the point of his story. "He really shouldn't have attacked me at quidditch. This is all his fault really, if he didn't fight me then I wouldn't have wanted to get him in so much trouble. Where was I?"

I yawn and stretch, "You stole a book from Ron Weasley."

"Yes right. Well in the book was a note from his brother Charlie. He breeds dragons in Romania you know? Well of course you know, you actually talk to them. Nasty behaviour by the way but you're my family so I can't hate you for that. Anyways the letter said to bring the dragon to the tallest Hogwarts tower to meet Charlie's friends there so they can take the dragon to Romania. Quite a genius plan for Weasley and Potter if you ask me. I swear they have half a brain each."

Now the invisibility cloak makes sense. Harry and Hermione were carrying the dragon underneath it. "So you went to the tower to meet them and get them in trouble, but instead landed yourself in detention and lost us twenty points instead."

We go to turn into a hallway, realize that Peeves is circling about, and quickly change direction. "Well yes. I didn't expect McGonagall to come up behind me and grab me. My ear is still sore. But when I tried to tell her that Potter was coming with a dragon she didn't believe me! The note said to meet at midnight so I really dunno how we didn't see them in the tower because I know there really was a dragon. I saw it hatch!"

"You have got to start learning to mind your own business Draco. All of this could have been avoided if you didn't interfere with other peoples lives. You have to put you first. It's nearly April. Then comes review, then come exams. And you're not prepared for those, I can tell you that one for free."

"At least I didn't lose us one hundred and fifty points! You didn't let me tell you the best part. Harry, Hermione, and Neville all lost fifty points for Gryffindor and got detention!"

I stop in my tracks and look at Draco. "Well, now I'm a bit conflicted." Draco laughs. "Just please, during exams study hard and make it so I can also study. I really don't need any distractions." Draco nods. I ruffle his hair and gently push him away by his head. When we pass the great hall, he sees a bunch of his friends.
