Green Eyed Monster | Draco Malfoy

75. The Mission

Chapter 75 - The Mission

"Audrey, please," Harry jogged to catch up to me...not that I really understood why. Over the past few weeks he should have learned that I did not want to talk to him and when I did, it was never a pleasant conversation. Besides swearing, jinxing him 'accidentally' and shattering a window or two - we had remained virtually silent.

"I have nothing to say to you," I repeated my mantra, nose in the air, while I made my way towards my lesson with Snape.

"How many times do I have to say it?" He cursed under his breath lightly. "I didn't mean to use that curse, I didn't even know what it did!"

"You knew well enough to cause him harm," I jabbed back, though I continued on my way to Snape's office as if he wasn't worth a glance. "Tell me, were you upset that he and I were being romantic, or were you upset that you hadn't caught him doing something bad?"

"Being romantic with you is him doing something bad." I turned a harsh glare on him, making him sigh. "You're my sister, Audrey - my little sister, my twin; how could I just let you snog some no good ninny whose goal in life is to make mine miserable?"

"And to make mine enjoyable," I bit back. "But you have to kill that too, didn't you?"

"I'm not a killer, I didn't mean-"

"But I have been, haven't I?" I growled, finally twirling on my heel and shoving my finger in his chest. "And the only urge I have ever had to do something as bad was that day - the day you cursed Draco and I found out what you did about that poison. So if you dare to touch my boyfriend ever again, I will skin you more easily than a snake sheds its skin. Am I clear?"

"That's not how..." Harry noticeably deflated, shaking his head from the open form of rejection. "I really didn't mean it."

"That doesn't change the fact it happened," I hissed.

"I got rid of the book." As if that would help him.

"As much as my grades are flourishing again and as much as I enjoy watching you fail miserably: that's not good enough." I glared at him. "Draco is scarred for life because of you."

"He was already scarred for life because of his Dark Mark!"

"Salazar's spit, Harry!" I shoved my finger into his chest again, he flinched away and patted his shirt as if I had touched him with a cigarette. "Do you really think that if Draco had the Dark Mark I wouldn't see it? Do you really think that while Snape saved his life and Madame Pomfrey spared him the pain of your damned curse no one would have noticed a giant black tattoo across his arm?"

"Snape could have covered it up-"

"You can't hide the Dark Mark, Harry. It cannot be hidden on skin. Maybe for once in your life you should listen to Hermione and read," I rolled my eyes, turning away from him to continue my trek. "Or have you been too busy celebrating with your new girlfriend?"

"This has nothing to do with Ginny-"

"It has everything to do with you seeing no consequences to your actions," I nearly sang, trying to keep myself from getting too frustrated. I didn't have the energy to spare on him if I wanted to have a successful lesson with Snape. "Detention every Saturday? Please, I've had it worse all year and I didn't nearly cause manslaughter on school grounds to a student. A student, by the way, who had done nothing wrong!"

"He was cursing me, too!"

Alright, this was true...but I didn't really want to take the time to deal with him. I shook my head, trying to reign in my fury. I was much better at it than before - windows weren't shattering right now, at least. Snape would be proud when I was finally able to leave my brother's side and tell him. I turned on my heel, ready to start weaving through corridors to lose him, but Harry turned me right back around.
