Crush

Madison flopped down onto her four-poster, pulled the curtains around it, and sighed as she reveled in the afterglow of her kiss with Draco Malfoy. The feeling of his body against hers...she hadn't wanted to stop. But if she was going to succeed in her task then she had to take it one step at a time.

"Madison, are you alright?" called a voice.

Madison hesitantly drew back the curtains around her bed and picked out to see Susan Bones at her rather curiously.

"Yeah I'm fine," replied Madison carelessly, "just a bit tired is all."

The redhead smiled good naturedly, "Alright then. I was just wondering...I saw Malfoy follow you out of the Great Hall...just wanted to check to make sure you were okay."

Madison rolled her eyes as she heard the girl exit the room. She was such a nosey one that Susan Bones! All because she was a bloody prefect she thought she was in control of any and everything...always poking about in other people's business.

Unable to find any comfort in the solitude of her room, Madison grabbed a jumper from the pile of clean clothes on her desk and set off for a walk.

Draco watched the sun set as he leaned against the big willow tree that shadowed the lake. He took a drag on his cigarette before taking a sip from the bottle of Odgsken's fire whiskey dangling from his other hand.

Madison. What he wouldn't give to touch her again...to feel her underneath him. Just thinking about her sent his stomach in knots.

"Get up," he commanded to the girl who crouched before him in the grass.

"What did I do wrong?" she asked.

Instead of justifying her question with an answer Draco simply put out his cigarette, zipped up his pants, and head back towards the caste, leaving the girl broken and alone.

On his way inside the castle a glint or red caught his eye. Walking across the grounds towards the Forbidden Forest...Madison? Draco squinted, his eyes trying to decipher just exactly who it was he'd spotted. Almost as if they'd heard his thoughts out loud the mysterious stranger turned and walked towards him.

"Draco," she called vindictively.

"Madison."

"Who the hell is Madison?" came a voice that was undoubtedly Pansy.

"She is none of your concern," Draco snapped.

"Just another one of your bitches, huh?" the girl retorted, somewhat hurt but unwilling to show it.

Draco sighed. He was tired of Pansy being so possessive. He was going to end up with her anyway...it was like an unspoken law. His father had arranged it to be so since before he was born. Not that his father could make him do anything...Lucius Malfoy was currently sitting in a cell in Azkaban awaiting trial.

"Come on Pansy," Draco said. " We've been over this shit before. They mean nothing to me...they're just sex.

At the unbelieving look Pansy shot him Draco threw up his hands

"Look, I'm tired and I'm horny. Let's go upstairs."

He grabbed the girl's hand as if to lead her up to the castle when she pulled away, "Draco I can't keep doing this...so many girls..."

Pansy looked on the verge of tears but Draco knew it was all an act...all a fucking act. He laughed out loud...a laugh mixed with anger, annoyance and pure cruelty.

"Why are you laughing?" Pansy asked angrily.

"Because it's all so fucking hysterical. You never cared before. Hell you've slept with just as many people as I have. What the hell is this "so many girls" shit about? What do you want me to say here Pansy?"

"That they mean nothing."

"Fine. They mean nothing. They're just sex. Can we go in now?"

That night in the privacy of his prefect chambers, Draco closed his eyes and made love to Madison...it was great.
