The Source - Chapter Five
"Speaking"
<Thinking>
…………………………………………………………………………………..
The Source's eyes went wide for a second but then she brushed her robes down as to straighten them, and in a very steady voice answered him,
"So?"
It was clear now that her voice had been altered with a spell, the deep, rough voice of a man coming from such a little girl sounded really weird to Draco. It certainly didn't make her seem very feminine. <Wonder what she looks like? She smells really nice though.> Draco thought.
Draco leaned closer toward the Source's face until his lips nearly touched her ear and whispered in a very sensuous voice.
"It's just a very convenient fact that's all." Draco used his free hand and traced the Source's jaw line with his finger. He heard her suck in a deep breath and smirked.
The Source pushed him away immediately and ran to the back of the room where there was another door. She pulled open the door and ran out, followed closely by Draco. The Source was scurrying down a flight of spiral stairs where Draco was just barely managing to keep up with her.
<By Merlin, she's fast>
With the end of her coat out of sight Draco descended the stairs as fast as he could to try and catch up with her but when he reached the end of the stairs it branched out into a dark corridor where he stopped to look left and right. <Which way did she go?>
Hearing some clatter towards his right he started running towards the sound. Rounding the corner of the corridor he bumped into Filch and his cat. Filch held up his lantern and sneered at Draco.
"What are you doing up this late. I ought to tell your head of house and make them punish you. Maybe even get to use the torture chambers again."
Draco quickly recomposed himself and stood to his full height.
"I happen to be Head boy and am allowed to be in the corridors at night patrolling," Draco said superiorly.
Draco pushed Filch aside and strode down the hall to head towards his Head Boy room. <Stupid Filch, > he thought.
Meanwhile, a figure hidden in the shadows dashed up some stairs towards one of the towers.

Draco went to the secret room every night for the next three days but the Source was never there. He was determined to find out who she was.
<She was wearing the school uniform so it must be a student here. Also it's a girl so that eliminates half the population. What else was there about her? Her smell...>
"Mr Malfoy!"
Draco snapped his head up and looked at professor Snape.
"Your potion is bubbling over and going everywhere."
Draco looked at his ruined potion and began trying to stop it from boiling over the top. The mess was so big that Snape had no excuse not to deduct house points and give Draco a detention.
"Ten points from Slytherin and detention after class."
The bell went for the end of class and Draco was staying behind to clean up his mess. There was a knock on the door and in walked Ginny. She strolled up to the front desk and addressed Snape.
"Professor," she said while waiting for him to give her a task.
"Miss Weasley. Your job today will be to clean up the mess over there." He pointed to Draco's spilt potion. "And when you have done that, to also relabel all the ingredients on that shelf." Ginny looked over to the shelf and saw all different sized jars filled with squirming bugs and worms of different kinds.
Snape stood up from his seat and proceeded to the door.
"Your detention Mr. Malfoy will be to supervise Miss Wesley until she has completed all her tasks." Snape left the room with a slam of the door.
"Well? What are you waiting for Weasley? Get to work." Draco moved to another seat and leaned back on it to relax and think.
Ginny rolled her sleeves up and went to get the buckets and scrubs to clean up Draco's mess.
.................................................................................................................
Ginny had finished cleaning up the spilt potion an hour ago and was now labelling the jars filled with slugs, worms and bugs. Every time she picked up a jar she would scrunch up her nose and looked at it, disgusted. She was up to her last few jars when Draco spoke,
"Are you quite done yet? I do have better things to do you know?"
Ginny paid no attention to him and continued to write the names on pieces of sticky paper and stick them on the jars.
Draco got up from his seat and walk towards Ginny. "Hurry up. How long does it take to just label a few jars?"
Ginny was getting annoyed. "Well why don't you do it then Malfoy."
"Please, like I'd ever go near anything as disgusting as these things." Draco scrunched up his nose and made a disgusted face.
"What's wrong Malfoy? Scared of a little slug?" Ginny held up a ZiggerSlug by it tail and waved it in front of Malfoy's face. She had taken it out of the jar secretly just to annoy him.
Draco backed up a bit, looking grossed out. "Only a Weasel like you would actually touch a slimy thing like that!"
Ginny got mad. <I'll teach him to insult me.> She flung the slug, aiming it at Draco.
It landed on the left side of his cheek and Draco froze. He looked down at it, which made him cross eyed, and then he got mad.
"Weasley! GET IT OFF OF ME NOW!"
Ginny was giggling and Draco didn't like it.
"No. Get it off yourself," Ginny said.
"You're going to pay for this Weasley," he growled.
Draco ran after Ginny and they were circling the table and chairs like five year olds playing tag.
Draco managed to grab Ginny's arm and was holding it tightly when the ZiggerSlug, which was still on his cheek lifted its tail to spray its mist, which Draco ended up breathing in. After spraying its mist the slug slid off Draco's face and landed on the ground to slither away.
After the slug dropped off his face, Draco started coughing and waving his hands to get rid of the mist floating around. While he was doing that, Ginny managed to free her arm, grab her books and start heading for the door, but Draco's coughs were getting louder and more retching.
Having her conscience getting the better of her, Ginny turned around and went to see if he was all right.
Draco had one hand on a desk supporting himself and the other on his chest while coughing very loudly. Ginny walked up to him and leaned forward to make sure he was all right.
"Malfoy?"
Draco's coughing still didn't stop and instead got even worse. Ginny was getting scared.
"Malfoy," she said desperately. "Stop pretending," She pleaded but Draco was still coughing and was starting to struggle for air.
Ginny placed her hand on Draco's back and was patting it to try and help him get his breathing back but it didn't help. Ginny was getting worried and started to panic.
"Malfoy, what's going on? Are you Ok? Come on. Breath." Ginny stroked his back urgently and he seemed to be catching his breath back but only just managed to gasp out.
"It's...a...ver... vex...a...ttack..."
Ginny stopped her soothing motions and stood there shocked. <A Vervex Attack?>
