Hi there! Just wanted to say a couple of things. First, J.K. Rowling is the amazing author and all of the characters belong to her. Second, please, please, please review! I would really like to know what people think about my story, even if its bad, although I really would like it to be good :) So anyone that reads this, could you be an even more really wonderful person and review? thanks bunches
" Oy! Potter, Mudblood, and Weasley!" Draco Malfoy sauntered up to the trio, a smirk on his pale face.
"Just ignore him. He's trying to be smart." Hermione muttered uselessly as Harry and Ron turned around to face the Slytherin, irritated glares on their faces.
"I think I saw your house, Weasley, during the train ride up here! You know the one. Kinda square, made of cardboard, and in the dumpster with the rest of the trash." Malfoy snickered at his own wit, "Hope you've got room for one more, seeing as how poor little Potter doesn't have any muggle-loving parents of his own!" Ron flushed red in anger and Harry's green eyes narrowed as Crabbe and Goyle guffawed stupidly.
Surprisingly, it was Hermione who stepped forward.. "I've had it with your stupid comments Malfoy! Why don't you just go and impress someone else with your repetitive vocabulary." Ron and Harry, mouths hanging open in shock, looked at Hermione with disbelieving expressions. Hermione's steely glare remained determined despite the flustered pink that colored her cheeks.
Draco's ice cold eyes locked onto her own before his quiet, intense voice filled the tense atmosphere. "How dare you talk to me, you filthy little mudblood. I'll teach you to respect your superiors!" He literally spat at Hermione's feet, disgust written all over his features.
Ron leapt forward, wand fizzing red sparks, and bellowed a curse. In his anger he missed Malfoy, and Crabbe's ears grew enormously and proceeded to box him about the head.
Staggering backwards, Malfoy swung a green curse towards them, hitting Harry square in the chest before he fell backwards over Goyle, who was trying to hold Crabbe's boxing ears still.
Harry gasped in surprised anger, looking down at his shirt, which had shrunk to the size of a toddler's. "Thats my favorite shirt!" He exclaimed as it ripped along the shoulders when he cast a spell at the Slytherins, hitting Goyle in the bottom.
Hermione hit Malfoy in the face with a powerful spell right after he shot a curse at Ron. Draco's missed terribly and some second year's face erupted into massive red pimples, causing high pitched screams. But Hermione's aim was true and he went flying backwards, arms and legs flailing in the air as he flew across the Hogwarts grounds.
Hermione watched him plummet to the earth, a satisfied look on her face, before she became aware of the chuckles behind her. She whipped around to see Harry and Ron leaning on each other laughing hysterically, "So much for 'Just ignore him', eh Hermione?" Ron sputtered out in between disbelieving snorts of laughter.
The hilarity of the moment died quickly when Professor McGonagall came marching up to them dragging a battered Malfoy behind her. "What is the meaning of this?! The second day of the school year and there are Gryffindors-Gryffindors!-dueling on the Hogwarts grounds between classes! This is preposterous!" She froze midsentence, taking in the scene around her. Her eyes widened as she saw Goyle, the front of a lama growing out of his rear end, trying to pin down Crabbe's huge ears which were straining to beat Crabbe's head in.
"But Professor! They called Hermione a-" Harry was interrupted by a swift glare from the seething Professor.
"This is disgraceful! Thirty points from Gryffindor! Thirty from Slytherin! Miss Granger, you can march yourself right up to Dumbledore's office and explain this whole situation! I am extremely disappointed, I would never have expected such behavior." McGonagall paused and glanced at Harry's shrunken shirt, one eyebrow raised. Harry smiled sheepishly at her, and swore he could detect the faintest trace of a smile on McGonagall's tight lipped grimace.
"You three!" She declared, pointing at Ron, Harry, and Draco, "Help carry these two up to Ms. Pomfrey! NOW!" she yelled. Hermione squeaked and ran away as Ron and Harry looked at each other before stooping down to help Malfoy try to lift the two goons.
