Falling Dark Deleted Scene Contest Winner!
Remember how I held a contest to celebrate Falling Dark hitting 1k kudos? And I promised to write a deleted scene of your choosing? Well, what won VERY HANDILY was the Chapter 7 Halloween party from Draco’s (angsty baby) POV. And thus, I present it to you here.
Intro below and most of the scene behind the cut.
**WARNING: CONTAINS FALLING DARK SPOILERS FOR POINTS PAST CHAPTER 7!!**
“I don’t want to wear a bloody costume.” Draco folded his arms and stared down his nose at the small, dark-haired girl who stood across the room from him.
“It’s not a costume. It’s a very small physical alteration charm.” Astoria stared back at him. “Please?” Her manner softened. “I’m not asking you to do anything else.”
“You’re asking me to go to this party.”
“You want to go and you know it.”
Draco’s jaw twitched. She was right and they both knew it. He couldn’t stay away. Even after everything that he’d said and done to Hermione.
And of course there was Theo.
Draco’s back teeth ground together; he had to keep an eye on that too.
“Fine,” he finally said. “But I don’t know why it matters.”
Astoria almost smiled. “It matters because I love Halloween.” She drew closer and pulled out her wand. “And we’re allowed to have fun, Draco. Or at least try.”
Draco snorted. This party would be many things for him, but “fun” was not one of them.
Astoria muttered a soft spell and he felt his incisors tug down. “Ow!” he exclaimed as one of them pricked the soft flesh of his lip.
“Oh! You’re bleeding,” she said, reaching up. “Actually,” she cocked her head. “That looks really good. For the costume.”
“I’m not walking around with an open wound all night!”
“No I’ll just spell it so it looks like it.” Her wrist flourished and Draco felt a small pinch of pain that quickly went away.
Astoria stood back. “Perfect,” she said with a small smile.
