Head Student Responsibilities

42. Silencio

“Blaise, you have tot take it seriously! This isn’t a game, we have responsibilities!” Hermione Granger’s voice resounded in the quiet library.

Draco shook his head and sighed as he approached them, feeling sorry for his best friend and current Head Boy, Blaise Zabini. He seemed to constantly get yelled at by the Head Girl for not taking their responsibilities seriously enough. It was enough to drive any guy mad – Draco was surprised Blaise hadn’t hexed her yet.

“Give him a break already, Granger,” he drawled, stepping out from behind a bookshelf. “Just because you can’t sit still for five minutes and treat every teacher’s word like it’s the Bible doesn’t mean you have to enforce that on everyone else.”

“Oh, I don’t remember asking you for an opinion, Malfoy” she spat back, her temper already flaring. “In fact, I-“

But what she was about to say Draco never found out, for at that moment his patience snapped. He whipped out his wand, pointing it at the wide-eyed girl.

“ Silencio” he muttered, smirking with satisfaction at the fury this simple word and wand movement resulted in.
