Who: Abigail Malfoy and Rose Weasley
What: Prefect' Rounds
When: Tuesday, September 10. 11pm
Where: The halls near Hufflepuff Tower, to start
Rating: PG

Abigail pouted as she walked through the corridors. Her uniform was immaculate and her silver Prefect badge gleamed with an emerald tint in the dim light of the torches. Blowing a lock of hair out of her face, Abigail wondered how much longer was left in her rounds.

Pulling her cloak up around her, she silently cursed the cool Scotland air. She should have been in bed getting her beauty sleep. However, she was out wandering the halls. Abigail had meant to check the Prefect schedule to see if she had a disproportionate share of shifts. It certainly seemed like it!

It was only the second week of school and she was sick of rounds already. Why couldn't she just have the fun parts of being a Prefect without all the duties?!

Her wand was tucked away deep in her cloak as she completed the first part of her rounds. Abigail arrived at the Great Hall and saw the clock there and groaned. Why was it still so early!?!

She still had almost two hours left in rounds. Abigail pulled her cloak even tighter and started in the direction of Hufflepuff Tower. Rounds were always so boring. She almost never caught anyone out. And, the times she might, she made sure to stay far away from any suspicious noises. All that dealing with giving someone lines or detention was just too much!

Coming around the corner, Abigail stopped up short when she almost collided with someone. She slapped a hand over her mouth to stifle a squeak of shock.

Why was the other girl giggling? Continuing to wear a perplexed expression on her face, Rose kept expecting the other girl to leave. Or, more like it, she was willing the girl to leave so that she could return to her reading. Not surprised that the blonde hadn't seen Donald, he tended to disappear on his nights to patrol. She wasn't certain where he went off to...

"Why are you groaning? What is wrong?" she automatically questioned.

Rose hoped the other girl wasn't coming down with something! It didn't look like she had bundled up enough to be venturing the halls of Hogwarts at night. Where was her light, too? Taken a back by being recognized, she still didn't know who this person was. That was no surprise, since she kept to her books, which were her preference. Paying attention to who other people were wasn't on her list of priorities.

"How did you know?"

Abigail rubbed her temples for just a moment longer before she let her hand drop. Straightening, she admonished herself silently. She wasn't acting as she should. Her mother would not be impressed. "I am annoyed. I think I might have read the schedule wrong. I think it's not my night to be on rounds."

Merlin, she really hated rounds!

"How...do I know?" Abigail blinked. "I've seen you around school, of course." It was true they weren't in the same year. But, everyone knew all the Weasleys and Potters. Abigail's pride was a bit wounded though that Rose didn't recognize her.

"I am Abigail Malfoy," she announced in a proud, slightly snooty, tone.

"Oh. It is Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Prefects night to patrol, I believe."

Had she gotten her schedule wrong? Rose was certain she hadn't, and she had left Ravenclaw Tower with Donald to patrol. She was always meticulous with her schedule. Her mother had given her a daily planner and everything! Feeling like she was at a loss, she should have known that she would be recognized as the daughter of the hero's friends.

"Ma-ma-malfoy?" she stuttered, shrinking away.

Her mother had told her bad things about Malfoys, and her father even more things! Uncle Harry and her cousins didn't seem to mind them though. It was strange, but maybe her uncle had been friends with Mr. Malfoy at one time?

"Maybe you saw your sister's name on the schedule, and only saw the last name and thought it meant you?" she ventured, trying to be helpful even though she was scared.

Abigail shook her head but suppressed any other expression of exasperation. Once Rose was gone though, she would surely be willing to break that vase she hated back in her room to vent her annoyance!

"Yes," she replied calmly. "My father is Draco Malfoy."

"My sister isn't a Prefect. Only one male and one female per year. She is my twin so...we are in the same year," she explained. "It might be my brother's night to patrol?" she ventured. Though, that wouldn't be right. Scoripius was the same year as Rose. So, it would be Gryffindor and Slytherin if it was his night.

"Perhaps I misread it."

Was she being deceived? The Weasleys had a reputation, after all. Was Rose out looking for some sort of mischief?

This Donald boy, was that her boyfriend?

"Perhaps we should find a schedule to clear things up?" she suggested to the older girl, feeling emboldened because Rose seemed to be deferring to her.

As if her father could be anyone else! How many other Malfoys could there be? Blinking at the younger girl's response, it made sense but was flawed in it's reasoning. Rose couldn't believe this girl was a Sixth Year!

"Yes, one boy and one girl in each year...in each house. There are eight Prefects per year, which means there are fifty-six Prefects. Well...subtracting the Head Boy and Girl from that. So fifty-four, plus the Head Boy and Head Girl."

Her response was matter of fact, delivered in the style of a Professor's lecture. Was the Malfoy trying to deceive her? To what end? Way out of her element, she wished she could just walk away, but by then Malfoy was making a logical suggestion.

"That seems reasonable," she agreed.

Abigail blinked. It wasn't that doing that math in one's head was all that impressive. But, most people didn't bother. She wouldn't have in that situation. In truth, she wouldn't have been able to do it as fast even if she had bothered. "Right," she answered without even confirming that it was in her head.

"We are nearest to Ravenclaw. Should we go there to check?" Abigail was already starting to walk in that direction without waiting for an answer.

Arriving at the statue, it came to life when the two girls approached. "I walk on all fours, then later on two legs and lastly on three. What am I?" the statue riddled.

Abigail paused for a moment. She didn't want to seem dim so she wanted to answer. "A man."

"Correct." The door slid open.

Relieved it had been right, she tried not to show it as she waited for the Ravenclaw to enter first. "Where is your rounds schedule posted?"

"But-" Rose began to protest.

Ravenclaw Tower was off-limits to members of the other houses! Malfoy was already walking away though. Rose stood there, gaping at her retreating back in stunned silence. Snapping her jaw shut, she hurried after the younger girl, muttering in agitation.

"You can't jus-" she began when she caught up to the Slytherin.

By then Abigail had answered the riddle to gain entry to Ravenclaw Tower. Displeased and stunned, the door swung shut on her. Having to answer a riddle herself to open the door, she entered the common room red faced.

"Now listen here. You cannot barge into another house's place of residence. It is improper and against the school code," she huffed in indignation. "The schedule is on the wall, to the right of the hearth's mantle."

Abigail couldn't suppress a small grin as Rose sputtered out her objections to the plan. She let her mutter as they walked along for a time before she made any comment. "How would we be able to check the schedule?" Abigail had no interest in walked all the way back to Slytherin only to discover she had to walk all the way back because she was supposed to be on rounds!

"I am not barging in. I am checking the Prefect's schedule," Abigail closed as the door shut behind her.

Moving over to the schedule, Abigail went even paler than normal. "Ummm..." she murmured, undignified but she let it slip out before she made herself stop. "It seems...I was mistaken. It is not my night for rounds," she admitted sheepishly.

Sheepishly, she looked back to Rose. Chewing her bottom lip, she wasn't sure what the other Prefect would do.

Glancing around, she realized this might be her only chance to see the Ravenclaw Common Room. "This...is nice." It reminded her of the library.

"We could go to the Great Hall? It is posted just outside it."

The Great Hall was quite a few levels down though. Malfoy seemed unswayed by her protests. What was it with Gryffindors and Slytherins that they always did wrong things the bad way? Hearing the verdict on the confusing situation, Rose knew what she had to do as a Prefect. It was just...something she didn't want to do.

"Then...then you were out without reason. I will have to take you to a Professor."

She hated conflict, but she could get into trouble for not performing her duties. Now what Professor was on call tonight? Was it Firenze? No...maybe it was Longbottom...

"What?" she asked quietly, having not really paid attention.

Abigail rolled her eyes. "And walk that far out the way?" she asked as Rose protested. Who would want to do that? Abigail was starting to suspect that Rose might have some other reason for not going to Ravenclaw. The Slytherin, at times, assumed the rest of the students were like her housemates.

"Wh-what?" she gasped in indignation. How could she take her to a professor? "It was a mistake!" she protested. "I have never gotten so much as a detention in six years. I assure you that this was simply a mistake."

In a huff, she folded her arms across her chest and paused a long time before answering. "Your tower. It is nice," she said, unsure about how to feel about giving Rose a compliment as she threatened to bring her to one of the professors.

"The statue," she gestured to the work in the center of the room. "Is that Rowena Ravenclaw?"

"That isn't for me to determine," she pointed out meekly. "The rules are quite clear. I have to bring you before the Professor on call for the night."

Flinching as the Slytherin huffed and got angry, Rose hadn't wanted a verbal confrontation! Oh why had the goddess made this girl run into her? The encounter had ruined her night!

"Thanks?" she responded uncertainly.

Turning to look, she saw the statue Malfoy was talking about. It was indeed a statue of Rowena Ravenclaw. She had been the founder of their house and of Hogwarts.

"Yes, yes it is," Rose confirmed, turning back to face the blonde.

Abigail frowned. What good was being a Prefect if you had to follow the rules? She was sure that Rose could bed the rules if she wanted to. "It was an honest mistake," she complained. "It seems like a waste to involve a Professor." A bit of her Slytherin side was coming out. "Wouldn't it be easier for all involved to just forget about it?"

She paused for a moment. "Besides, if you would be willing to do this favor for me, I wouldn't quickly forget it." Abigail gave Rose a small, shy, hopeful smile. Folding her hands demurely in front of her, Abigail waited to see if the other Prefect would cut her some slack.

"It's nice to see that your house as some history in yours. Sadly, Slytherin does not have much of that sort of thing." Despite her house, Abigail was quite studious and enjoyed history along with the rest of her studies.

"Is there anything else interesting in here?" Abigail smiled and looked around to see if anything jumped out at her.

"That would be...breaking the rules."

Why wouldn't Malfoy go along with this so it could be done and over with? Then they could forget it ever happened. Rose certainly would. Confused by what Malfoy said next, she was hesitant to respond right away.

"What do you mean?" she asked, innocent to the corruption and manipulations of House Slytherin. "But you just said before to forget about it."

Forget about it...wouldn't quickly forget it...the two requests seemed contradictory. What was the Slytherin getting at? It seemed to Rose that she was trying to confuse her on purpose. The Ravenclaw didn't want to play games!

"You mean you don't have a statue of your House's founder in your common room?" she asked, surprised. "There are only the dorms, you wouldn't want to see them."

Abigail waved a hand dismissively as she tried to hide her nervousness. "It's using your discretion," she offered. "Isn't that what you are supposed to do? We've been given it along with responsibility. Why bother a teacher over nothing?" She raised her eyebrows as she regarded Rose.

"No, no. We can just forget it. Between the two of us? You know?" Was she daft? Or was she just not used to this sort of thing? Abigail, to save herself the trouble, would have abandoned this situation twenty minutes beforehand. Why was Rose putting up such a stink?

"No. There aren't very many interesting things in our common room," she mused in a bored and disinterested tone.

"Why wouldn't I?" she asked with a big smile. Abigail made her way towards the stairs. "You should show me around!"

"Discretion?" she repeated. "The professors never told us anything about that..."

They were supposed to follow the rules. Discretion and forgetting about it felt like corruption to Rose. Was this what politics felt like? Extremely uncomfortable with the situation, the other girl was flustering her.

"That seems wrong," she protested weakly.

Having no real argument to give, she had never had to deal with this before. Jaw dropping as Malfoy went to the stairs, she couldn't believe that the blonde wanted to see their dorms. Was this girl crazy?

"You can't! You will wake people up!" she protested, bustling after Abigail.

It took all of Abigail's willpower to prevent her from rolling her eyes. Was this bird totally daft? What good was having the power to look the other way if you never did? Was she really this much of a goody-two-shoes? If so, she would need to try a different tactic...

Glad for the reaction she got, Abigail smiled as she kept going up the stairs. "Don't worry, I will be quiet," she assured Rose as she kept walking. She really didn't have any intention of waking anyone up. That would only make a bad situation worse...

Getting to the top floor, she looked at the doors. "Which one is yours?" she asked. Abigail wondered how a Weasley kept her room. It was probably a mess. Between her heritage and the fact she was a brainiac, it was sure to be a mess!

Smiling at Rose, she waited patiently as if there was no question that she would be shown inside.

Stumbling on the stairs, Rose tripped and fell. Banging her knees, she hissed in pain before hobbling to her feet. Maloys really were nothing but trouble. Limping up to Abigail, Rose was getting very tired of all this. This was way too much for the reclusive girl, who was getting close to the point where she was going to break down and cry.

"That one."

Pointing it out, she hoped the blonde would turn around and leave now. But the Slytherin girl just stood there, waiting, even as Rose waited for her to leave. Contrary to Abigail's thoughts about her part of her dorm, her bed was carefully made and the area surrounding it immaculate. She took after her mother in her cleanliness.

"Are you going to go now?"

Abigail heard the sound of Rose tripping and smashing her knees. She winced. "Sorry," she whispered but didn't stop her upward progress. Though, she did slow it momentarily. She genuinely felt bad but she didn't want it to stop her from her plan to keep herself out of trouble.

She was a bit surprised when Rose's area was neat and tidy. It seemed the Weasley Ravenclaw was full of surprises. Slowly, she walked over to Rose's bed and drew aside the curtains.

She tried to fight off feelings if despair. This wasn't working. Abigail was afraid that she was going to have to use a Memory Charm on Rose. It was starting to seem like the only way.

Abigail chewed her lower lip. If she was going to need to do that...maybe she should have a little fun? If Rose wasn't going to have her memory anyways...

Gently, she sat on the bed. Giving Rose her best sweet smile, Abigail patted the bed next to her as she looked at Rose through her eyelashes and batted them at her.

Wanting to shout at Abigail to get out of her dorm, Rose didn't utter a sound for fear of waking her dormmates. If they awoke and found a Slytherin here...there would be many questions. Questions that she would prefer to avoid. Having no other choice but to follow, she left the door open and tip-toed her way after Malfoy.

"What are you doing?" she hissed softly.

Sitting down on the bed, she turned away from Abigail to close the curtains. Once the intruding girl and herself were hidden from view, she drew her wand and cast a silencing charm upon the curtains. Breathing easier now, she lowered her wand and turned to face Abigail.

"Are you crazy? Being caught here is even worse then being caught out there."

Abigail smiled softly though it took great effort not to grin triumphantly. She watched in silence as Rose closed the curtains and performed a Silencing Charm. It seemed that she had her right where she wanted her.

"Who would find us in here?" Abigail asked sweetly. "Do you roommates often peek in on you?"

Shifting on the bed, she moved a little closer so that her knees lightly brushed against Rose's. She glanced over at the other girl's wand and cocked an eyebrow. "Are you worried I am dangerous?" she pouted when she saw that it was still out. The tone worked on her mum. Maybe it would work on Rose?

Abigail knew she could experiment. It was safe now, at least in her mind.

"I like your hair," she told Rose. "It is very pretty."

"Anyone? I am supposed to be on rounds. Someone will eventually notice me missing."

Her patrol partner, for instance. But he wouldn't notice until it was time to end their patrols and turn in for the night. Rose's roommates didn't normally peek in on her, but if they woke up, saw the door open and her curtains closed...then they would. Leaning back as the Slytherin came closer to her, Abigail Malfoy was the strangest girl she had ever met.

"What?" she asked, not understanding. "My...hair?"

Abigail scoffed. "You worry too much," she teased softly. "You can just claim you were somewhere that they weren't. It's not a big deal."

Seeing Rose withdraw a little, Abigail just stayed where she was making sure her smile stayed in place. "You have your wand out still," she clarified. "Do you think I am dangerous?"

"Yes, your hair. It is very pretty. What? Has no one ever told you that you are pretty before?"

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The teasing comment stung, silencing Rose. It was something she was often told. Not knowing why her wand being out was such a big deal, it wasn't like she had been pointing it at Malfoy. Putting it away into her coat pocket, she then shed the coat as it was becoming too warm with the curtains closed and two bodies giving off heat.

"No...maybe...certainly strange."

Removing her mittens next, Rose didn't know what to make of the other girl. She was batty, at the very least! Were all Slytherins like this? Blushing, no one had ever told her she was pretty before. Abigail had nailed the reason exactly.

"Not...recently," she answered in a small voice.

Abigail raised an eyebrow then stifled a demure giggle. "Maybe?" she repeated. "Maybe?" She leaned in even closer, still smiling. "You have a funny way of treating your guests." It was true she had invited herself in but still!

"Well, they should more often. You are quite pretty." Reaching out, she let he hand lightly rest on Rose's knee. Her other hand strayed near her wand. If this went badly, a Memory Charm would need to be cast right away.

Lightly, she toyed with the hem of Rose's skirt. "Your boyfriend doesn't tell you that you are pretty?"

	"I-I-" Rose stammered. Taken aback, Abigail had the Ravenclaw totally flustered. Not moving an inch, the redhead looked lost and terrified. Everything was out of control! Her wand didn't rise, in fact her grip on it was loose. Not even noticing the touching of her skirt, she was too much in turmoil. "Boyfriend!?" she squeaked. "I don't...I never had one."
