MalfoyzBeloved · 12-01-2006, 12:27 AM

Ok, I totally forgot who I was supposed to PM about the sequel to Choices...
So I'll make it much easier!
It's called 'Cause You're Watching Over Me', and yes, it's about Dezi, and it will go kinda fast considering my lack of ideas...
Click Here to go to the sequel

I... might... just... not post today! You'll be lucky if I do, that's all I can say

Fire Eyes*Tayzer* · 12-01-2006, 03:58 AM

Hmmm. *goes to check out new FF*

MalfoyzBeloved · 12-01-2006, 09:24 PM

Ok, I"m posting now. This chapter is cut in half, seeing that only 3 people have voted and until I see... oh I dunno, nearly everyone vote (or when the poll is gone), I'm gonna be cutting chapters in half so 1) More chance to vote before seeing the results to the poll, and 2) 8 days, and the chapter you find it out is in chapter 22 and this is half of 18... not that good, so I kinda have to cut them in half to post with my normal-posting-amountities (made the word up, don't ask...)
Dark Green suits the POV

Anyways, HALF OF CHAPTER 18!
Enjoy

Chapter 18
Perfect Timing

The next day in Charms, Draco’s attention couldn’t leave Hermione; he couldn’t stop thinking about her. If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t be here now most likely, she threw the past behind them and actually helped him when he needed it, completely unlike what he had done for her for the past six and a half years.
“Mr, Malfoy, why don’t you demonstrate?”
Draco looked up at Professor Flitwick. He had a stone hard expression on his face, which surprised him. Usually Flitwick looked a bit kinder.
“Demonstrate what?”
“What happens when you don’t listen. Now quit daydreaming and pay attention!”
The Gryffindors sniggered. Trying to hide the fact his cheeks were turning red, he smirked. He sat through class, actually enjoying it since Pansy was still mad that he had kicked her and wasn’t sitting anywhere near him. He also figured that she was also mad that it wasn’t her he had saved, but she didn’t seem to notice he saved Hermione, since she wasn’t being brutal about it, which is what she would do. He was thankful that no one seemed to notice who Hermione was when they were in the lake, and if they knew anyways, he’d threaten them not to tell anyone anyways. But now that he thought of it, who knew enough about him that Professor McGonagall would take Hermione and put her in that trance?
The more he thought about it, the more curious he got. He considered going to McGonagall, but a password was required to get to her office...
Draco managed to catch what was for homework before class ended. His posse got ahead of him, but he didn’t care. Gathering his things, Draco left the classroom. He was in a daydream trance, not really noticing where he was going. When he rounded a corner, he ran into someone, causing his things to fall to the ground. He kicked his book angrily and bent to get his things.
“You say I should watch where I go...” a familiar voice muttered. Looking up, Draco saw that he had run into Hermione.
“When did I last say that?” he asked.
Hermione shrugged, still not looking up.
“Look...” he started.
“You said you’d leave me alone after I helped you with the tournament,” Hermione said flatly as she grabbed another stray book.
“I never said I would,” he pointed out. She looked up and into his eyes.
“You said you’d try,” she responded.
“Well I can’t!”
“Why not?” Hermione asked, started to sound more irritated now.
“Because I love you.”

Chapter 19
Perfect Timing (Part 2)

"Because I love you."

It took Hermione a moment to realize what Draco just said. Then she couldn’t believe it, she had put up with him just to help him, putting her thoughts of him and what he’s done aside to do so, and now’s he’s saying he loves her. It seemed a bit much, but it then hit her.
She cared about his wellbeing in the first task, worried about him when he broke his arm finishing the task, liked the feeling of him watching her during meals. It was because she had started to like him; to love him. That was why she had been the one put under the water for him to save; he cared more about her than anyone else. That’s why he kissed her, and that’s why she kissed him back. Hermione's mouth dropped to respond.
“Bug off, Malfoy.”
Hermione closed her eyes, sighing inwardly.
“Who says I have to, Weasel-bee?” Draco demanded as he got up.
“I do. Now bug off,” Ron snapped.
Draco's wand was at hand. He gave Ron a contemptuous, angry glare as he (slightly) looked down at Ron and stalked off, his ordered things flying after him. Hermione took up her things and stood up. She shook her head and pushed by Ron.
“Wha... Hermione!”
She ignored him and ran up the stairs, mad that he just had to ruin the moment. She beat him to the portrait hole, and went into the common room, dropping her things onto the desk as normal.
“What’s with you lately?”
“Me?” Hermione spun around just in time to see the portrait of the Fat Lady swing closed behind Ron.
“Yeah, you. Just wandering off without a word, completely quiet overall for that matter.”
“Maybe I don’t feel like talking, Ronald. It’s not new, you know, you should’ve gotten used to it,” she snapped, glaring coldly at him.
“She speaks!” Ron exclaimed in mock joy. “Now honestly, what’s your problem?”
“What do you mean by that?” she demanded.
“You’ve been acting off, now why is that?”
“Do you need to know everything about what’s going on in my head? Honestly, it’s getting pathetic, Ronald!”
“What’s been going on that’s making you be this way?”
“Never you mind...”
“I have a right to know,” he shot at her.
“And it’s within my power to see if you do ‘find out’ or not. So just leave me be.”
“I just want to know what’s been going on lately! You haven’t said a word about it so far, so I might as well ask now.”
“Do you really want to know?”
“Yeah. What’s making you be this way?”
“You,” she spat. Turning around, she headed for the stairs leading to her dormitory. Ron called after her as she stormed up the stairs, but she ignored him, she didn’t want to put up with him anymore.
She slammed her dorm door shut, and she saw a snowy owl perched on a chair, sleeping. There was a roll of parchment attached to her foot.
“Hedwig?”
She fluffed her wings and blinked a few times. Hooting slightly, she hopped onto the table surface and stuck her leg out. Hermione walked up to Hedwig and untied the roll of parchment.
Hermione,
I’ve finally found Slytherin’s true locket. Who would’ve known, it was at the Headquarters all along. I’ve been trying to figure out who the ‘R.A.B’ is and I think I’ve found out who it is. Remember that letter I showed you after the Battle, the one I found in the fake locket? I remembered Sirius saying in the summer of going into 5th year that his brother had become a Death Eater, but had been killed by Voldemort (Hermione shivered when she read the name) himself. He must’ve had to do something really big to get that honour, and I’ve finally figured it out. His full name is Regulus Arcturus Black, and he was the one that got to the locket before Dumbledore and me, but he left it at the Headquarters. After some fight I managed to destroy it.
So you got Ron to enter his name into the Tournament, eh? Did he get the glory this time? (for once, as he would put it) If not, who did? I don’t see why the Ministry waited three whole years to put new security measures up...
But I’ve been staying at the Headquarters most of the time, doing research there and when I think I find something, I spend a few days out and camping in nearby places. Not exactly luxury all the time, but it works. It’s really tiring, but it’ll be worth it in the end.
So Ginny’s been off the ball lately? I’m not surprised personally, she seemed to take it as an insult when I said why I was breaking up with her. Thanks for reminding me to send a letter to her though, I knew I was forgetting to do something...
Anyways, I’m taking a break from the searching, despite how much I wish to not do so, but I was thinking of visiting Hogwarts over a weekend, staying at one of the inns in Hogsmeade. I don’t know when I will, but I’ll get around to it sometime this week or next.
See you sometime later,
Harry
P.S: When I do visit, I wouldn’t mind meeting this ‘Professor Kruliki’, I’ve got to have a chat with him...
Hermione chuckled. Hedwig hooted impatiently.
“Do you need a response now?”
Hedwig twittered, almost doing a small, equally impatient dance. Hermione grabbed a scroll and quickly scribbled a short reply.
Hedwig is too impatient for me to put off a response. I don’t have time now, but I’ll send you a legitimate reply when I have time.
Hermione
She fumbled as she tied the parchment to Hedwig’s foot, and the snowy owl flew out the window, which appeared to be wide open. It seemed odd that it was December, a window was open, yet it didn’t seem cold. As soon as Hedwig had left, Hermione went to close it.
Getting bored, Hermione decided to go back down to the common room to grab her things and go to the library. If she got a head start now, she could easily have more time to read into her book, a muggle story called Eragon (o.o.s: I love that book!). She enjoyed reading how the authour explained the use of magic in this other fantasy world with dragons being connected to one human or elf and being able to talk with their minds.
When she entered the common room, she saw it empty. Glad to not be seeing Ron, she took her things and went down to the library.

Ron+Hermione=Forever · 12-03-2006, 04:06 AM

Anyways, chapter 19

Like I say, short but you'll probably wanna see more like, soon cause of the ending... -stops talking-

Chapter 19
Slytherin Reactions

Draco was wrong, and he knew it as soon as he had stepped foot in the Slytherin common room. They either ignored him or gave him cold looks. He passed by without a word, let alone a look. Entering his dormitory, he found it empty. He didn’t care; he had to get out, sooner or later...
“Malfoy.” Draco turned around to face Blaise and the three others that lived in the dormitory.
“Zabini,” he responded with an equal tone.
“So word’s around about who you rescued during your second task... is it true by chance?”
“Depends on what you’ve been hearing,” Draco responded, smirking.
“That you have it for a certain mudblood.”
Draco laughed and shook his head.
“What would give you such an idea?”
“We recognize the bush anywhere,” Blaise responded, eyes now narrowed. “Tell the truth for once, Malfoy. Did you, or did you not, rescue the mudblood?”
Draco just shrugged and pushed past the small group. Before they could stop him, he ran down the stairs and out of the Slytherin common rooms. The thought of what they would, and most likely will, do to him made him run faster. He didn’t think about where he was going, he just let his feet lead him anywhere away from the dungeons. Before he knew it, he was walking through shelves of magically sorted books. He looked down each row, seeming to look for something even he wasn’t paying attention enough to know.
Looking down a row, he figured it out. Walking casually between the two shelves, he stopped at the end and pulled out a book about the history of the Triwizard Tournament (just a lucky grab). For once in his life, he was flustered. He flipped through the book, trying to think when he heard a chair move across the ground. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hermione getting out of her chair. Turning around, he quickly walked down the row, unable to think quickly enough.
“Malfoy...”
Draco knew Hermione was following him, but he kept walking, he didn’t want to face her yet.
“Draco!”
He stopped abruptly. Without realizing it, he had turned around, facing Hermione with sullen eyes.
“What’re you doing here?” she asked. Draco didn’t respond, he didn’t truly know, he was just there. He turned around again, but a firm grip on his arm stopped him.
“You can’t walk away from all of your problems.”
“I’m aware of that,” he snapped. “But with some you can.” He pulled away and left the library, leaving Hermione confused. As he left the library, he realized somewhere inside him, he felt something he had never felt before.
But that feeling left when the world around him went black, and that was the last he remembered.

What happened to Draco?

Find out in chapter 20! (and 21 more into it) Next comment I see=next chapter!

MalfoyzBeloved · 12-06-2006, 02:56 AM

Chapter 20
Dark Magic

“Two visits before the third task...”
Draco heard everything around him, but he couldn’t open his eyes, they seemed to be glued shut and held down by lead, yet he was not tired. He heard the matron hustle about and put something on the table beside the bed. He tried to open his mouth, he wanted to ask what had happened, but it would not move. Nothing moved, all he could do is hear.
There was a scream. He couldn’t pinpoint where it was from, but he recognized who it was. He shivered inwardly.
“Ms. Parkinson, keep it down!”
“Where’s my Draco?” she demanded.
“He cannot be visited at the moment. Now be gone.”
Footsteps seemed to come closer, and he heard a heavy weight drop onto a chair, the seat creaking in complaint to the user, Pansy Parkinson.
“Who would do such a thing!” she got out, sounding as if she was choking on sobs.
“Ms. Parkinson, leave!”
“No! Don’t you dare touch me, you old bat!”
“How dare you, you insolent girl!”
Pansy screamed momentarily, its squeaking noise bouncing off the hospital wing walls, but it was cut off, and her fighting feet sounded on the floor. Draco was relived to hear her pushed out of the hospital wing. He heard Madam Pomfrey scurry around for a few minutes, and then come up beside his bed. She forced his mouth open and some sort of liquid was poured into his mouth. He coughed and sputtered.
“Swallow it,” she ordered. He tried, but it wouldn’t work, he started fighting for breath as the potion started filling his lungs.
After trying to get it out, an odd feeling went up his throat, and the potion found its way back to his mouth, and then something seemed to make him swallow.
“There you go. That’ll help you be able to open your eyes. It will take a few minutes, sometimes it even takes hours, but soon enough you’ll be able to see and move.”
The matron left him and Draco’s body thrashed as the potion took its toll on him. He felt as though he was under the Cruciatus Curse, like he was about to die from insanity of the pain it caused him. After a few minutes, he was still, and he slowly, yet ever so carefully, opened his eyes. The light blinded him at first, he was unable to see a thing other than white. Over a course of minutes, his vision returned to him. He tried moving his arms to push himself up in a more comfortable position, but a lead weight pilled them, resisting his attempts.
Overwhelmed with fear he tried to fight the weighed-down feeling, but that only seemed to make it worse. His surroundings blackened once more, and he was lost in the darkness. A few minutes later, Draco slowly saw the ceiling of the hospital wing above him. He wished he could wipe away the sweat that drenched his face, but he still couldn’t move, he didn’t plan on trying again for awhile.
“Wha... wha’ happened?” Draco finally found his voice.
“Seizure.”
The matron came into his sight with a cloth and wiped away the sweat on his face for him.
“Why...?”
“You were trying to fight to move, correct?”
Draco cheeks tinged red.
“Well don’t do that again unless you want to have another seizure.”
“When’ll I know... when... to move?” Draco asked slowly, finding he had trouble speaking still.
“Try every few minutes and don’t push the limits,” the matron responded as if it was obvious, then walking away. She went into another room, and came out with another cup.
“Drink this,” she said, handing a clear, green-tinged potion to Draco.
“I can’t exactly move my arms...”
Madam Pomfrey tipped it into his mouth and he gagged it down, nearly choking again. Some of it sputtered out of his mouth.
“What’d you expect? Pumpkin juice?” (o.o.s: I just love this line!)
“Well I wasn’t expecting lemon-peppermint-grapefruit either!” he snapped, finding his voice.
“If you want all the dark magic...”
“What?” he asked suddenly, cutting off the matron.
“When a group of boys hexed you, they used very dark magic. You’ll be in here for days until it’s completely removed and you’ll be fine.”
“What... what happened anyways?”
“Like I said, all we know is a group of four boys hexed you...”
I’m gonna kill Zabini... Draco thought, sighing.
“But we don’t know who or which spell, they ran away when Hagrid came into sight. He brought you down here and left.”
Out of all people it had to be the oaf. Draco thought, rolling his eyes and shaking his head slightly.
The matron scurried off again, leaving Draco in his uncomfortable sitting/laying position. He tried lifting an arm again, and he managed to get it a few inches above the bed until it suddenly dropped. He raised his other arm, and the same happened. Lifting a leg, he managed to bend it fine, but when lifting his foot at the same time, it dropped painfully.
Lifting both arms at the same time with a smirk, they didn’t move whatsoever. Draco tried again, pulling with all of his might. Suddenly the room went black, and he was lost in the abyss of darkness once more.
