Why are you so Clueless, Malfoy?!- Chapter one

Pencils and rubbers

Hey people! Its August 6th today so that means that it is Lightning's 1st anniversary of joining Fanfiction! To celebrate, I offered to write any story for him! Here is the result! It is a three-shot so the next two chapter will be out soon!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing. I don't own Harry Potter and I do not own the words, I think they are government property. But I'm not sure. I simply borrowed the words and rearranged them to make this marvellous thing before you!

Draco was staring in curiosity at the Muggleborn witch who was fiddling with something in the Slytherin common room. Janette was a year below him and surprisingly had gotten sorted into Slytherin. After getting over his previous hatred (it might've had something to do with a nasty hex she threw at him after he called her something not so nice) he has realized she was a friendly young lady who was fun to be around.

She also happened to know many things that he did not and Draco was determined to learn all the foreign stuff that she knew.

But now he knew he had hit a dead end. Janette was holding this small white rectangle and rubbing it across her parchment, making the marks on it disappear. It was obviously some kind of magic. But how was she doing it? What spell had she placed on that white rectangle to make it do this? He needed to find out. "What the hell is that thing?!" Draco burst out suddenly.

She didn't even bat an eye. "It's a rubber, Malfoy." She responded without even looking up from her work.

Draco was bewildered. A rubber? "For what?!" he demanded.

"For pencils." She replied calmly.

Draco was very perplexed. "What's a pencil?"

It was then that Janette looked up at him, her face showing it all. "…You poor deprived child."

Draco scowled at her reference to him being a child. "What do they do?!"

Janette sighed but Draco could easily tell she was amused. "A pencil is like a quill, you write with it." She looked at him suspiciously. "You do know what writing means, don't you?"

"Of course I do. I'm not stupid you know." It was then she looked at him disbelievingly.

"I beg to differ." She muttered under her breath.

"Sorry, what was that? I didn't hear?" Draco asked, frowning.

"Nothing. A rubber is what you use to get rid of the marks made by the pencil. Rubbers don't work on pen marks."

Draco narrowed his eyes at her. "First of, what, exactly, is the sort of Dark Magic this stuff is laced in?! And second, what's a pen?"

She gave him her famous are-you-serious? Look. "Something for me to know and for you to never find out."

…..

Well, that's the first chapter done! Next one shall be out in an hour or so! Stay tuned!

And thanks to Tiff for the first couple of lines of dialogue.

Hope you enjoyed it!
