I've always enjoyed the company of .
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco stood up from the desk and began to peruse the stacks of books that lined the walls of the common room. He felt they weren't really there for the students use, but merely a means of insulation. Either way, they were rarely read and the room was always bitterly damp and cold. He found the one he was looking for and returned, flipping it open to the page on obscuring spells. He had a plan and he knew this may be his only chance at keeping up his visits with Harry.
Theodore hwl: Walking into the common room, Theo came upon Draco, doing... something. He wasn't sure what. Running a hand through his hair, he went over. He had a feeling Draco and Daph had already talked. "Draco," he said, acknowledging the blonde haired boy.
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco was lost in the large tomb when he heard his name. He looked up, seeing Theodore and he nodded, "Nott. I believe Daphne was looking for you." He looked down, again, into the book.
Theodore hwl: Theo shook his head, flopping onto the couch. "I was actually looking for her. She was in the common room when I left her here and now that you're here, she's mysteriously disappeared." He smirked. "You chase her off or something?" he asked in a joking tone.
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco looked up and seeing the smirk he returned it. "Must be my charm. I seem to be having that affect on people lately." He put down his quill and rubbed the palms of his hands into his eyes. "Years I've tried to be the most obnoxious guy around, then I gave up. Now, without trying, everyone seems to dislike me. Ah well, so is the way of life." He leaned back in his chair and rested his hands behind his neck. "Haven't seen you around in awhile so that means you may still be outside my hate radar." He gave Nott a half smile.
Theodore hwl: Theo half chuckled. "Must be. I think it's just natural now, you being a jerk has worked it's way into your system and now you do it without even knowing it." He ran another hand through his hair, such was his habit. "I've been around...just not as around as I'd like to be, but I'm back now." He studied Draco with slightly narrowed eyes. "So how's Daphne?" he asked casually. "She was..." he didn't want to say the wrong thing now. "She was pretty down when I found her today." Down on the floor, sobbing her heart out. My poor girl. "She's got it in her head that she's some kind of whore." He sat back and looked to Draco for his opinion on the matter. He just wanted to know what he would say about that.
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco snorted, "She's as much of a whore as I am. It comes with being a Slytherin, all the misnomers. She is just feeling sorry for herself. I honestly can't be arsed to care." He then shot Nott a smirk, "Guess you're right about the jerk thing. Go me!" He lifted his quill, twirling it in his fingers. "I don't think she's a whore, that is the least of her issues. She's quick to tell secrets and seems to have a penchant for disrupting lives, but whore, nah."
Theodore hwl: Theo folded his arms with an expressionless face. "Ah well, it's true, everyone's a bit whore-ish here. But she's just not used to this. It's all new to her, all the drama going on and when she can't handle something, she just kind of goes a bit crazy and does abnormal stuff." Theo smirked again. "At least you admit it. Now, have you seen Pansy around? I have yet to speak with her... and Zabini, haven't seen him in a while either."
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco smirked again, "Miss Parkinson and I aren't speaking, currently. Refer back to my last comment." He closed his eyes and pictures Blaise's face and with a soft sigh he added, "I haven't seen Zabini around for a bit. I actually ended up owling him today, hoping I get some contact with the ruddy Italian." He glanced down at his paper and then up at Nott. He raised an eyebrow. "Would you be interested in helping the younger students with me? I want to keep them protected from the other houses in case flashes of Death Eater Brat discrimination begins breaking out." He then quickly added, "Moreso then the norm."
Theodore hwl: "Ah... because of Daphne. I'll talk to her about that. Did she run out of here in a fit of emotional sorrow when she found out about that?" He knew Daphne a little too well and knew she was probably in the Room of Requirement, playing the piano or something and crying, which was actually pretty abnormal. She never showed emotion when she cried. The only evidence was the tears coming down her face, but this afternoon he had found her sobbing and he had found the answer as to why she was this upset. "Zabini tends to drift off sometimes. But," he looked at the paper Draco had looked down at, "I will help you with that. The upperclassmen of Slytherin need to protect the younger ones." He raised an eyebrow. "This is unusual for Draco Malfoy. When did this transformation happen?"
Draco Malfoy hwl: He raised an eyebrow. "Transformation? This is about house loyalty and protecting our kind. We have a way of life that should be maintained. I don't want to see ours hurt. This has always been here, I've just been on my own trip down pity lane. I got sick of it there so I came back." He glanced down at both sheets of parchment and absently hid the one below the other. He wasn't in the mood to explain his research on certain charms. He then replied to his first question, "Yes, I thought she would have known the consequences of her actions. But apparently she was shocked to know that Parkinson has disowned me as an honorary...whatever it is that I was." He'd always believed it to be brother, but evidently Pansy had wanted more. He felt horrid, but he could never give her that, and he'd have given her the world.
Theodore hwl: "Well I've just never seen you take charge like this. You were always knee deep in the drama from what I saw. Fortunately I managed to keep out of it for a while. I have a feeling that Daphne's gonna get me involved in something." He ran a hand through his hair. "This is something I've been hoping wouldn't happen, but getting involved with Daph has brought me into her mess." He picked up the first parchment and studyed it, missing the parchment underneath it. "Well, as I said before, when faced with crisis, Daphne doesn't do well. Which is why I'd never throw her into a situation before letting her think it out beforehand. And disowned you? I never thought she'd do that. You two have always been close. I always saw you two as kind of a brother and sister. But basically she ended your friendship when Daphne told her that you two had sex, right?" He shook his head, putting a hand to his forehead. Daphne had caused more trouble then she realized.
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco had forgotten that there was a reason he liked Theodore, he always tried to stay neutral. "These girls are always trying to keep the drama fresh. I enjoy it, but even I have to stand back and just shudder." He then frowned slightly, "Yes, I am dramatic, but I wouldn't say I'm that bad. Besides, what can you expect from Lucius Malfoy's son. He's one of the biggest drama queens around." He wanted to add, thank Merlin for Azkaban and my sudden realization that I don't want to be my daddy when I grow up. But he held his tongue. Then sadly he spoke, "Yes, we grew up together. She's almost like a twin to me. I'm really trying not to think about it, if I do I may not be able to breathe." He pinched the bridge of his nose again, his temples throbbing a tribal rythm.
Theodore hwl: He nodded. "I understand. Daph and I grew up together and stopped talking at Hogwarts. We just started talking this year, which is sad since we've known each other for... probably all our lives." Theo chuckled. "Girls feed off drama. C'mon Draco, you should know, that they love it. I mean, Daphne and Pansy, ex best friends, caused drama for the other when they both found out they they both were in love with Zabini." He sat back. "If only I had the magnetism to draw both Daphne and Pansy. Zabini has a gift." He looked over at Draco. "Well there's always a disadvantage of being a son of a deatheater," Theo said thoughtfully.
Draco Malfoy hwl: Yes, he thought, everyone wants Blaise. He held his tongue, instead he just nodded. "True, Pansy is always one for making more out of a situation. I know I'm far from innocent in the situation, I hope she got that from our conversation. I had only hoped she'd be able to keep her tongue." He picked up his papers and tucked them into his book. He'd work on it later, he couldn't be arsed at the moment. "I agree, when you are a Death Eaters son, you get to do cool things like witness Muggles being tortured and jolly fun things like that. Makes me want to rush out and join the proud masses of ..." he stopped himself. He wasn't sure if he could be so verbal around Nott. He didn't exactly know if the young man would run and tell his family that Malfoy was a turncoat. He couldn't take that chance. Instead he made a joke. "...run out and find me a Muggle to bait."
Theodore hwl: "Well I just think that's a bit abnormal that Daph went and just told everyone like that. The only way she tells is if someone just plain out asks her. She doesn't just randomnly spout out information." He rubbed the back of his head, handing Draco the last paper he had been looking at. "Tons of fun," he said, a smirk on his face. "I especially love the expressions on their faces," he said with fake glee. Masses of what? "Yes, it's simply delightful making the Muggles squeal," Theo said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco agreed, it was unlike Daphne to just tell like that. "Honestly, I don't know why she did it. I can't imagine I'm that wonderous of a conquest. I'm more impressed with myself for gaining her favour. She is a good girl, thick at times, but good." He looked into Theodore's face, his own open and honest. "I wouldn't have hurt her, you know that. I would have kept this to myself to the grave. As it should have stayed. I only wish I knew why." He took a deep breath and stretched back in his chair again. "Yes, squealing Muggles, " he had caught the sarcasm and fished some more. "Can't live with them, can't openly torture them in the streets." He smirked and shot him a wink, showing that he too was being utterly sarcastic.
Theodore hwl: Theo thought on this for a second. "Probably her concious. Daphne isn't pure evil. She feels extremely guilty about many things." He tapped his foot on the floor. "Were you a virgin?" he asked bluntly. He really wasn't one for beating around the bush. "Well, I just hope you two repair your friendship. She always spoke so highly of you." With a nod, he propped one foot on the table in front of him. He looked Draco in the eye. "I know. I think you honestly need to talk to her. She will feel guilty until you two properly duke it out. Personally though Malfoy, you hurt her and well I'm going to have to hurt you. It's my duty to say that." Examining his shoes, he rubbed a smudge out on them. "Mind if I get comfortable? These robes get a bit stuffy at times."
Draco Malfoy hwl: He waved his hand distractedly, "Be my guest." He thought of his words. "I wanted to duke it out with her, I was prepared to completely unload, but she just sat there, taking. I know Daphne isn't evil, but she usually fights better then that." He had to admit it was odd of her. "Though, I think we are all out of luck on Pansy and I. I think this goes beyond a simple matter of you knocked down my sandcastle. She feels like I betrayed her, and as silly as that seems, you just cannot talk to that woman once she puts her bloody mind to something." He smirked, "I would call you a crap friend if you didn't properly threaten me. I'd still hex anyone that hurts Pansy, even if she wants nothing to do with me."
Theodore hwl: Theo nodded his thanks and shed himself of the accursed robe, loosening his green and silver tie and throwing it off. Standing up, he untucked his shirt and stretched, showing a hint of his muscled abdomen. He sat back down on the couch, relaxing. "Finally, out of those accursed objects." He thought on Draco's words. "I figured you would, which is what I thought would happen, but seeing her in the state I found her this afternoon, which was heartbreaking, I figured she'd just take it." He rolled up his sleeves, rubbing his semi muscled arms. "So, you think you and Pansy are unrepairable huh? That's too bad. Want me to talk to her or something? And I'd call myself an idiot for not doing that. I have to look after the women in my life." Theo took pride in the fact that he was well built. He knew it too and used it heartilly to his advantage.
Draco Malfoy hwl: "Yes," he said, distractedly as he thought of his mother, "taking care of the women in our lives is a full time job." He smiled softly, "No, you don't have to talk with Pansy. She's rather bloody minded when it comes to her feelings. Very little will convince her that I wasn't cheating on her if we weren't together. Ah well, I won't change my feelings for her even if she despises me." He could feel the silver medallion against his chest, weighing heavily. If I found Dominique, maybe then she could forgive me. Maybe...Loosening his own tie he leaned forward, almost slumping onto the desk.
Theodore hwl: "Well it's a man's job," Theo said matter of factly. "And alright, if you insist, though I still do want to talk to her. She has turned into a..." He didn't want to finish the sentence because if Draco was like her brother, that might be the wrong thing to say to him. "And well, I still have a hope for your friendship. You two were always like that, which is why it's odd that something like that could make it crumble. Best friends don't dissolve their friendships, they work it out. When trouble comes along, that is the true test to a friendship." Words of wisdom from Theodore Nott. Since when I do spout out stuff like that? He looked at Draco. He looked tired and stressed. "You okay? I mean, I can bring down a little something if you know what I mean, if you need it."
Draco Malfoy hwl: He waved his hand, "I'm good, thanks. Just alot on my mind." He yawned, "Well, maybe I am a bit tired. It just seems like there is never enough time for rest." He looked blankly into the fire before speaking again. "The problem is, Pansy went from having sisterly feelings to having girlfriend feelings. While I remained with my brotherly feelings. I was slowly, and obviously not doing a good job at it, trying to show her that my affections for her are only platonic. She thought otherwise and now she feels betrayed. I think I'd have had better luck if I'd just slept with some bloke, then she may still forgive me. Gah!" He really was feeling tired, but he had too much work and not enough hours ahead of him.
Theodore hwl: "You look tired mate. Seriously, you should check into this thing I've gotten into. It's called 'sleep.' " Theo chuckled lightly. "But honestly, I think Pansy went all crazy on you for it because Daph was her best friend and then you were her best friend and things in her head became a little whacked and well she just thinks that you two betrayed her. Personally that's why I don't have a best friend, so I have none of this betraying junk going on but Daph's kind of turning into my best friend... with benifits of our own. But with the platonic thing, you might've had to spell it out to her. I thought it would be obvious actually, but maybe Pansy just didn't get it." He shrugged. "Women are complex creatures."
Draco Malfoy hwl: "Sleep? What is this word you speak?" he snorted and then laughed out loud. "Well, I myself am on a best friend diet, no more, cutting them out. They complicate things and make you feel like thestral dung if you act human." He stood up, stretching the kinks out of his back and walked over to the empty space beside Theodore. The sofa was much more comfortable then the desk chair. "Yes, women are complex in their simplicity. I think I'll cut them out of my diet as well since they are beginning to prove to be hazardous to my health." He rubbed the still tender side of his face from where Pansy had slapped him. Draco then stood up, "I think I will try that new concept of sleep." He smiled as he headed for his dorm. "Night, Theodore...I'll see you tomorrow." With that he disappeared up the stairs.
Draco Malfoy hwl: Draco stood up from the desk and began to peruse the stacks of books that lined the walls of the common room. He felt they weren't really there for the students use, but merely a means of insulation. Either way, they were rarely read and the room was always bitterly damp and cold. He found the one he was looking for and returned, flipping it open to the page on obscuring spells. He had a plan and he knew this may be his only chance at keeping up his visits with Harry.

They complicate things and make you feel like thestral dung if you act human." He stood up, stretching the kinks out of his back and walked over to the empty space beside Theodore. The sofa was much more comfortable then the desk chair. "Yes, women are complex in their simplicity. I think I'll cut them out of my diet as well since they are beginning to prove to be hazardous to my health." He rubbed the still tender side of his face from where Pansy had slapped him. Draco then stood up, "I think I will try that new concept of sleep." He smiled as he headed for his dorm. "Night, Theodore...I'll see you tomorrow." With that he disappeared up the stairs.
