Not A Saint
Not A Saint
What had he gotten himself into this time? He was supposed to be keeping a low profile but it looked as if Harry's hero complex had rubbed off onto Draco. At this rate he was going to have to advance his plans more aggressively than before. At least financially he was headed in the right direction.
Removing some of the money he'd been saving, Draco had taken the forty four thousand in gold and invested it all in a muggle company that made a new type of fiber optics. He wasn't exactly sure what kind of clothing they made out of it but it seemed to be very popular.
In as little space of time as three months he now had eighty million to show for his original investments. Draco's squib advisor had mentioned an interesting company called E-bay but that would have to wait until later. Sighing, Draco continued to stare at his latest snag in his plans for the future.
Hermione Granger was currently resting in one of the beds here in the infirmary. This bushy haired, know it all had effectively undone all his hard work to appear as he had always been perceived. Not necessarily a bad thing in helping him in the wooing of his Harry but wasn't in his best interest in hiding his defection from those who would want to do something silly about it. You know like hunting him down, torturing him for hours on end, flaying maybe even a little maiming thrown in, and oh yes, killing him horribly. Call him picky but that just wasn't his cup of tea.
Still, he thought as he tucked her in, he didn't want to see Granger dead if he could help it. Draco stood, hoping she had been worth it all when he was struck by an idea. It was such a lovely idea really and he was acting on it before he fully registered what he was doing. An evil smirk lite his face with wicked glee as he cast his spell on Granger.
Draco's lips trembled as he fought back his laughter. Granger was sporting a black mustache and thick black eyebrows that bordered on a uni-brow but the glasses on her face and cigar that was now attached to her hand was priceless. In the Slytherin's opinion she'd never looked better. Thinking Madam Pomfrey would be coming back soon, Draco turned quickly to vacate the infirmary before he was caught being slightly naughty. After all he may be one of the good guys now, but he wasn't a saint.
Draco froze when he walked right into the last person he expected to see at that moment, Harry Potter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry couldn't get his mind around it. When he looked at the letters he'd captured this morning before class and only three names came out of it. Out of those three only one belonged to a blond.
Draco Malfoy.
He'd tried to deny it at first but then the Slytherin had blind-sided him. Draco Malfoy, notorious for calling Hermione a mudblood and wishing her dead in their second year, rescued Mione from being run through and trampled. Why? Why had Draco done it? Stranger yet was that for a moment he'd seen sides to the Malfoy heir that he hadn't thought existed.
Worry, selfless bravery, and concern for another's well being; these where not words used to describe or associated with his blond nemesis. Harry shook his head trying to clear it.
Harry walked into the infirmary when he spotted the object of his thoughts. Draco was sitting beside Hermione's bed just staring at her. It was as if her sleeping form held some missing information he lacked. The expression on his face clearly told that Draco felt the weight of the world on his shoulders right now. He looked tired and haunted for a moment but then it was gone. Malfoy tucked the blankets around the sleeping girl as if she were just a small child. In his mind's eye Harry replaced his friend's form and inserted a raven haired little girl with sliver blue eyes. He shivered.
He was about to say something when he watched Draco as he began to leave only to pause. Harry remained silent as he spotted an evil gleam enter the other man's eyes. He stepped closer and realized that Malfoy was muttering a spell under his breath. What was he up to?
Harry didn't get to find out right then as Draco suddenly bolted from his spot at Mione's bedside and right into him causing him to land right on his arse.

Thanks to everyone for all the computer advise. I have a computer now but the data is all gone. *sniffles* Oh well. I came up with it once before I can do it again. *I hope.* For now though I need a beta and my muses need reviews. Any takers?
