‘Draco!’ Pansy’s screech brought him out of slumber and he turned to glare blearily at his fellow prefect. He felt muddled, but naps during the day always did that to him.
‘What in Salazar’s name are you shrieking at me for?’ He rubbed his ringing ear and sat up, brushing stray cat hairs from his school robes. He scowled at the ginger hairs still clinging to his black robes and preformed a quick cleaning charm.
Pansy bit her lip and looked up guilty. ‘You were talking in your sleep again.’ Draco turned to look at the surrounding prefects and saw Granger studying him like he was a puzzle she wanted to solve. Even Potter was looking disappointed that the Slytherin had finally roused himself. Draco turned to his friend and let his voice drop several degrees.
‘How many times have I told you that the fact I talk in my sleep is not entertaining!’ He glared daggers at her and she fidgeted. ‘It’s not some party favor!’
Potter interrupted, ever the hero, to save Pansy any more distress and to divert Draco’s wrath. ‘I was the one talking to you. Don’t yell at her Malfoy.’
And that was supposed to make him feel better? Merlin knew what Potter had asked him and Draco always spoke truthfully when he was asleep. It made Draco’s panic rise to a whole other level. ‘And here I thought Gryffindors were morally obligated not to invade the privacy of their fellow students. It’s lovely to know you don’t mind displaying your blatant hypocrisy for all and sundry by rummaging in my subconscious when I’m defenseless. You disgust me Potter.’ Draco hissed the last phrase and stood up in swirl of dark robes. ‘I’m going to get myself something to eat and Pansy.’ She looked up, her dark eyes defensive. ‘We will talk about this.’ He swooped out of the compartment with that last ominous phrase and hoped Pansy stewed nervously for the rest of the trip. Stupid bitch.
He did in fact speak with her in the carriages on the way to Hogwarts. She was adamant that nothing too incriminating had been said while Draco had been sleeping.
‘Granger asked me to get her cat back for her and you told her to get it yourself. And well, you were still asleep so they asked me what was going on and I told them you did that sometimes.’
‘And?’ Draco prompted, slouching down in his seat and grimacing when the carriage bounced over a bump.
‘Well, they didn’t believe me. So I told them to go ahead and see for themselves.’ Draco gave her a look and she glared back. ‘It was harmless, you know that. Anyway, so Granger asked what you thought about the Head Girl and you called her a manipulative bitch who only moped about Diggory for so long to get attention because everyone knew she’d barely known him in the first place. And that she only kept stringing Potter along for the sake of her popularity.’ Pansy laughed. ‘You should have seen Potter’s face.’
Draco smirked and crossed his arms. He wished he could have. ‘What else did I blurt out?’
Pansy raised one eyebrow and continued. ‘Well, then I asked you what you thought about Granger and you called her a Know-it-all who spent entirely too much time with her nose buried in a book. Then you said that she was intelligent and gutsy. So, what’s that about? Fancy a bit of Mudblood love?’
‘Shut up Pansy. You know I don’t swing that way.’ He said shortly. He’d secretly respected Granger for her considerable intelligence for some time and was embarrassed she knew it now. ‘So, anything else? What did I say about Potter?’ That was what he was truly worried about. Merlin knew what Potter would do if he learned that Draco did, in fact, have the tiniest bit of admiration for the pillock.
‘I was just getting to that. You called him a speccy git who had horrible taste in clothes even if he did fly like he’d been born on a broom. And then Potter asked you if you were a Death Eater and of course you said no. And something about why would you want to lick the boots of a half-blood nutter anyway? It was rather funny, actually. I woke you up when Potty asked why you’d been disinherited.’
‘Well, at least you had the sense to do that. You should have woken me up earlier. Who knows what I could have said? We both know I can’t lie when I’m asleep.’
‘I was there the whole time to wake you up if it got out of hand.’ She said, obviously irritated with his paranoia.
‘That doesn’t matter!’ Draco practically shouted. Zabini, Crabbe, and Goyle merely began to stare off into space or inspect their cuticles while the two prefects hashed it out. Pansy and Draco had spats like these fairly often. It was nothing new. And they were aware trying to play referee just put them in the line of fire from both sides so they kept to themselves. ‘I could have told them about any number of humiliating things they could have thrown in my face for the rest of my life! Why don’t you drink veritaserum and have them question you, then you’d realize exactly what it’s like! You should never have let them ask so many questions.’ Draco sat back, sulking and kicked the seat across from him half heartedly.
‘Sorry Draco. I guess I’d be angry too if I ad bad been me. I never really thought of it like that. But you have to admit, it is pretty funny what you come out with sometimes. I didn’t mean to upset you.’
He gave her a glare, but relented. ‘Fine,’ He said sourly. ‘Just don’t do it again.’ Yeah, because that always worked on Pansy. Right. And he was a Gryffindor.
But, in all honesty it was the best he could do.
