Looks are Decieving

Chapter 14

"Okay if you say so. Angelina Nadford kissed Draco Malfoy,"Pansy stated bluntly.

"What?! What the hell are you talking about?! Angelina wouldn't do that to me?!"Dominic cried in disbelief, pinching himself to make sure that it was a dream. When, after a couple of pinches, all he had were a few bruises and a very sore arm, Dominic was convinced that it wasn't a dream.

"Oh yes she would, and you know what? She did,"Pansy taunted. "If you don't believe me why don't you go ask her yourself then?"

"You know what I will,"Dominic sneered in reply, leaving as quickly as possible to find Angelina. He hoped beyond hope that what Pansy said wasn't true and that Angelina had never, ever kissed Malfoy when they were together and that all Pansy said was a sick, cruel joke that was being played on him.

***

"Angelina! Wait!"Angelina turned around, as someone called out to her. She came face to face with a very red faced and somewhat angry looking Dominic.

"Hey what's up?"She questioned, giving her boyfriend a confused look, raising an inquisitive eyebrow.

"Hey, I uh, I uh, need to ask you about something,"Dominic started hesitantly.

"Shoot."

"Did you kiss Malfoy?" He said in a voice more confident then he felt. Angelina's eyes widened in horror and surprise and her jaw dropped. Her mind was shouting out alarms, going 'how the hell did he find out!' and 'Just say no, he'll believe you.' But it was no use her mouth seemed to have a mind of its own and she soon began to splutter incoherent words.

Dominic noticed this and his eyes widened and stared slack jawed at his girlfriend.

"Oh, my, God. Angelina look at me and tell me that you did not kiss Malfoy. That what she said was not true."

Angelina couldn't, no matter how much she wanted to say that she had not kissed Malfoy, she couldn't deny the fact now that she was caught off guard, not that she got the chance to reply as Dominic exploded in the next second.

"Angelina how could you?! How could you do this to me? How could you do this, do this to us and especially after all we've been through?! You know what, that's it I can't take this anymore. We are through and the last thing I'm going to do is kill that bastard."

With that said, Dominic ran off in a fit of rage to look for the blond and rip him to shreds.

"Wait! I can explain!"Angelina cried desperately, after her brain had registered the information, but he had already gone. Not waiting another second Angelina ran after Dominic hoping that she would get there on time, before things got too messy.

***

Pansy watched in amusement as Dominic ran away from Angelina whose face was priceless. Wishing she had a camera, but waving it away, Pansy quietly chuckled to herself and walked away. She had gotten her revenge, but she wasn't quite finished yet. In fact she had only just begun. Feeling bad that Draco would probably get injured, Pansy dismissed it with a wave of her perfectly manicured hand, as she would be the one to care for them and get Draco to come back to her. She sighed a dreamy sigh and thought of the things she and Draco could do as soon as she had him back.

***

Dominic sneered as he spotted the arrogant blond-haired Slytherin. Walking/stomping over, Dominic flexed his fingers and curled them into a fist. Tapping (more like jabbing) Draco on the shoulder, he waited for the 'fucken bastard' - according to him, to turn around. Before Draco had even registered who had tapped him, Dominic slammed his fist into the blonde's face.

***

Draco felt a tap on his shoulder. Annoyed, he was about to tell the idiot off, when a fist connected solidly with his face. Swearing profusely he took a few steps back. Clutching his nose and checking for blood, he stood up and looked at his attacker. Recognising Angelina's boyfriend he sneered.

"Well, well look who's here. If it isn't Vanhousan."

"Shut up Malfoy,"Dominic hissed as he stalked over towards Malfoy and continued to speak. Punctuating each word with a jab in the chest. "Who the fuck do you fucking think you fucking are, you fucking bastard?"

"What the 'fuck' are you 'fucking' talking about,"Draco mockingly retorted, preparing for any sudden attacks.

"You and, and... You know..."Dominic trailed off.

"I and what? Why don't you care to enlighten me?"

"You and Angelina kissing!"Dominic forced out, causing many inquisitive heads to turn their way and crowd around, hoping to hear something interesting to gossip about.

Draco stood there shocked for a second but soon recovered and laughed. Draco laughed right into Dominic's face. Dominic, on the other hand, just stood there, mouth agape as he watched with barely concealed rage as Draco laughed at him. Before he could react in any way, the blond raised his hand and punched him squarely in the eye.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" the crowd that had gathered chanted as the two boys tousled on the ground.

***

The two boys stood up suddenly, red-faced and breathing heavily. Dominic had sported a black eye and blood had begun to trickle down his nose. Staring daggers at the blond, who was staring daggers at him. Draco too had a distinct black eye, a slight bruising to his right cheekbone and a line of blood at the edge of his mouth. He quickly wiped it away.

The crowd that had gathered were silent. On the edge of their seats, hanging onto that moment, itching to find out what would happen next. A few of the spectators began to squirm, the silence uncomfortable and deafening. That was until Draco being Draco broke it.

"Well, now that we've settled this matter, I think I'll go tend to my wounds,"Draco sniffed arrogantly.

"Not so fast bucko,"Dominic replied, anger flashing in his eyes, "I'm not finished with you yet."Dominic continued as he backed Draco into the wall.

"What the fuck are you doing?"Draco asked nonchalantly as he was forced up against the wall.

"Something I should have done a long time ago..."

***

Angelina slumped her shoulders in defeat as Dominic's bobbing head disappeared into the crowd. She walked aimlessly around for about 20 minuets before recognising her boyfriends'- wait a sec, erase that thought-EX-boyfriends' voice nearby, Angelina ran to the source. Seeing the crowd Angelina could only guess what was happening - not.

"Something I should have done a long time ago."

Angelina gasped and immediately pushed her way through the crowd, when she heard that statement. "Right that's 50 points from Ra-"Angelina stopped in mid-sentence as she looked at the two boys in shock. Dominic had Draco pinned against the wall, dangerously close and staring intently into each other's eyes. Looking as if they were about to do something very, very inappropriate. Dominic's cheeks were flushed red and he was breathing heavily his hair mussed up and his uniform ruffled. Draco was a little red in colouring around the face, breathing heavily, but somewhat relaxed and his shirt looked as if it had been attacked ravenously.

"Oh my god!"Everyone turned her way, with a confused look.

"OH! MY! GOD!"Angelina repeated in the same shocked voice only a little louder.

"Oh my god what?!"Draco snapped irritably yet enjoying the big scene he was causing, though he wasn't exactly sure if he had been winning or not.

"How come you guys never told me you were gay?! And with each other nonetheless!"Angelina stated bluntly.

The boys' jaws dropped open.

"What the fuck are you talking about?!"Dominic's voice cracked, his dignity wiped away with that one simple sentence.

"Well, you are, er, standing in a rather, um, inappropriate position and you are standing kind of close to one another and well. Come on! Look at yourselves. You look like you were kissing or something," Angelina trailed off as the two boys glared at her.

"It got you to stop fighting didn't it?" she asked hopefully.

"You stay out of this,"both boys shouted at her in unison before returning to their corridor brawl.

"Men! Always fighting and using physical destruction to settle your problems! Use your brains for once!"Angelina snapped back irritably and huffed in frustration when she realised that the two boys weren't even listening to her. Opening her mouth to say something else she was cut off but a voice down the corridor.

"What is going on here?!"A strict and commanding voice rang out, no doubt belonging to the, oh so hated potions master. Professor Snape. The crowd scattered not wanting to stick around and leaving Draco, Dominic and Angelina to suffer Snape's wrath.

"Oh it's nothing professor. This is my entire fault. Yeah, uh, my fault. You see Mal... Uh, I mean Draco and Dominic agreed to let me uh practice, my uh you know my martial arts, karate on them. You know, uh, yeah that's right..."Angelina lied hesitantly and terribly.

Professor Snape narrowed his eyes, eyeing Angelina suspiciously, watching her fidget under his gaze. After what seemed like hours but could only have been a few minutes he broke off his gaze and turned on the boys.

"Is this true?"

The boys looked at each other hesitantly before nodding. Professor Snape narrowed his eyes again, only at the boys this time, before accepting the lame explanation.

"Fine, but for Miss Nadford's stupid behaviour that will be 15 points from Gryffindor and a week's detention for you. Ms Nadford I will see you in my office at 7pm sharp. Now get yourselves cleaned and to class,"and with that Professor Snape left with a swish of his robes, leaving Angelina swearing every single rude word she knew aimed at the potions master.

"Mother fucken hell, why the fucken shit should I fucken have to fucken do the fucken detention. I didn't fucken do anything. What a big fucken, big dicky bastard. One of these fucken days I'm going to fucken kill that dickhead."She began and the trail of 'fucken's continued.

The two boys gaped at the girl standing in front of them. Never seeing her act this way before, but quickly looked away as she turned towards them. Her eyes were flashing with hatred and anger.

Angelina was about to start swearing at Dominic and Draco but stopped herself. After taking a big deep breath in and then out she stomped away to class, her face burning with vehemence.

***

He sat there again thinking about her. Why couldn't he just forget about her? She had spoken to him that day, he had almost lost his cool, but he had gotten it back just in time. He stared out the window before slamming his head down against it and kept it there. His haunting eyes staring out into the distance...

***

She lay on her bed, the pillow muffling her sobs. He had been calling for her. Her loyalty had to be shown very, very soon. She didn't want to anymore, but there was no turning back, it was like selling her soul to the devil only much, much worse. She wiped away her tears and put on a brave face. She had to face the world sometime and now was that time. She would forget about Him whether she liked it or not. Holding back her tears she walked out of her dorm.

***

The dark cloaked figure paced the room in trepidation. "Where the hell is he?"He asked himself in impatience. He stopped and scowled for about a minute before returning to his pacing. But he stopped as soon a cold voice called to him. "No need to become impatient my loyal servant."

"I am no servant of any man but myself,"was his irritated reply.

"Of course, of course. My mistake,"The cold voice continued, showing no feeling.

Not knowing if the man was mocking him or telling the truth he continued. "Well my lord I do believe it has been quite a while, but the wretched some brat does not seem to be fooled as easily as you think."He inquired.

"True, but I could say the same thing for you. You don't have the boy and I don't have the girl. Oh well, there is still time. My plan has only just begun. Just wait and see I will have the girl and the boy very, very soon. And then I will have my revenge!"He hissed and began to cackle, his snake-like eyes showing the hate and joy of revenge that he was soon to have.

The cloaked figure took a step back away from the maniac not wanting to get in the way. "Of course. Until then my lord."

The cackling stopped abruptly and the clearing of a voice was heard. "Ah yes of course, then we shall meet again soon. By the next full moon..."

"But-"The cloaked figure began, before realising his snaky ally was gone. Scowling again he swept up his cloak and went on his way also.

***

Hermione noticed her friend's troubles immediately. The rumours of the fight earlier between Dominic and Malfoy had spread quickly and the whole school knew by now. Hermione felt sympathy towards Angelina, as she didn't really deserve the detention or the 50 point loss. But then again she had been the main reason for the brawl, but Hermione would never dare say to Angelina's face. She knew what would happen, so she chose to shut up and not say anything.

Her friend had already suffered enough and now this had happened. The amount of rumours that were being said had only made it worst. The most popular one was the one about the love triangle between Draco, Angelina and Dominic, which was partly true, but no one needed to know that. Hermione frowned as she looked at Angelina, who had that face that said she was self-pitying herself and was really, really pissed at something or rather someone and she stayed that way for the rest of the day.

Hermione discussed her growing worry with her other two best friends. "You guys don't you think we should do something. I mean she looks really upset."

"Really Herm, I personally think she'd rather be alone. Besides of we say something she might blow. And I don't think you or I or anyone would want that to happen."Ron stated as -matter-factly to his friend.

"What about you Harry?"Hermione asked.

"I agree with Ron, but then I also agree with you. I guess we should just wait and see. If she's still like this tomorrow, we'll talk to her and do some pounding. Right Ron?"Harry replied emphasizing his last point by slamming his fist into his palm.

"No you guys, I think Angelina's already in enough trouble, you'll only make it worse, by attempting to kill Malfoy. So no fighting. You got that?"Hermione said sternly.

"But-"They began.

"NO!"Hermione silenced them. They gave her pleading looks, but she didn't budge.

***

Pansy looked at her reflection in the mirror and she had to say- she did look good. Well she looked good all the time. But tonight she had to look good, for her 'Drakie' of course. Then after that she would get some more revenge and make sure that Angelina could never, ever show her face in public again. It was a devious plan and it would work. She laughed happily yet cruelly. Her mind began turning, working up more ways to flatten Angelina into a pancake, without a single ounce of strength. She laughed again. Looking at her reflection one last time, she hopped downstairs to await Draco's return. (A/N Soppy I know but hey it was the only I could come up with. Ok just ignore me...)

***

Draco grumbled slightly as he patiently waited for Madame Promfrey to return. He had been waiting 10 minutes and she still hadn't come back and he was beginning to lose his patience. He huffed; he wanted to get out of the hospital wing as soon as possible. Not wanting to be cooped up with Dominic still glaring at him even though a black eye. He returned the glare, but didn't really care at the moment. He was tired and he was hungry and being in the hospital wing with some guy who attempted to kill him barehanded out there didn't help.

***

Dominic continued to glare at Draco, wanting to show all the hate he had for the blond. His whole body ached and especially his eye, but he sat there patiently waiting to be let out.

He thought about Angelina, which only seemed to make him sneer even more. He couldn't believe that she would do that. After all the break-ups and get back togethers he at least thought that she would have been honest with him. But no, she just had to go behind his back and go kiss Draco fucking Malfoy.

***

Angelina dragged herself through each and every class. Only one more was left. She looked at her timetable and groaned as the words 'potions, Professor Snape and dungeons' met her eyes. Telling Hermione she'd see her later, she decided to gig, wait the better word to use was skip potions and take her anger out on a poor, defenceless little pillow.

Slamming the door shut she stomped over to her bed grabbed the pillow and screamed into it. She soon found herself thinking it was Malfoy's head and she repeatedly began to smash her fists into it. "Fuck Snape, Fuck Malfoy, Fuck Dominic, well sort of. Actually Fuck EVERYONE!"Angelina screamed into her below.

Sniffling and finally finishing off her tantrum, she calmly lay her pillow back down and lay stomach down onto her bed. When a thought struck her- who had told Dominic? There was only one person who did know - Pansy Parkinson. Oh Pansy was so dead when Angelina got her hand on the blond.
