Chapter 5: The love of being a Head

A/N: I own no HP peoples

The days lessons where the usual type stuff but with about 4 times as much homework. After my last lesson, transfiguration I was walking up the marble stair case and I tripped sending my entire contents of my overstuffed bag strewned all over the floor. I was trying to collect all the quills that where now spread over a 20 foot radius when

" Granger, what the heck did you do?" I looked up, of course, it was Malfoy, clearly heading up to the heads common room. I waited for him to say something snide and nasty or even kick me but the strangest thing happened

" Geez you shouldn't be taking all these classes, here I'm going up to the common room, let me take those books." he said. I stared at him for a second and managed a very thin lip smile

" Uh, thanks ferret boy."

" Whatever, Mudblood." He said and headed up the stairs. figures, For a second there I thought he was being genually nice. Maybe the draft that professor derifine ( The professor who'd substituting for snape while he's doing things for the order) had made got to his head. Probably. I walked up to the portrait of unitilia and said our password . When I walked in I saw Malfoy looking at the bulletin board and my books thrown onto the floor

" There's your books Granger." He said not taking is eyes of the board

" Malfoy what are you looking at." I walked over to the bulletin board. There was a little new sign tacked onto the board

Halloween Ball

In light of a new year at Hogwarts and of Halloween the teachers and I have decided to through a ball for all you youngsters.

Note to prefect: You will have the night off, go along as you wish

Note to heads: You will not have the night off, for information on where you will be patrolling see professor Dumbledore

the dress and tux barn will arrive October 18 and will leave the night before Halloween.

Oh joy the many loves of being a head girl. On a night where Harry could have finally asked me out and I would have gotten a pretty dress and everything I get to patrol the corridors, outside fountain, and the great hall itself with Malfoy and I can't even get a dress. Malfoy didn't seem to pleased at it either

" So Malfoy... I guess this means you can't dance with your fat ugly girlfriend after all." I said trying to smirk, I was still thinking about Harry.

" So granger... I guess this means you'll have to wait longer for Potter to notice you." He said returning my smirk.

" How did you kn... I mean never... how?" His smirk broadened

" Oh do you not think I noticed all those little flirty things you do around him, I mean for god sake he wouldn't notice you if you jumped into his lap, but if he saw the way you can dance well then he'd be all over you.." He said more to himself then to me. I could not believe he had the nerve to say that but I had to ask him

" Are you serious, I've been that obvious? and what about my dancing?" I said sure whether to be offended or complimented.

" You see granger, he knows it and he doesn't like you period, now don't get all mad at me I heard he had planed to ask Ginny weasley far before he even knew you weren't able to go to the dance, and that's the honest truth and if you don't believe me ask weasley's sister." he said

" Oh I will but gosh why wouldn't he like me, I mean I'm nice to him right, oh this makes me so mad, I have to do some things before dinner ferret boy so see you later." and I left the portrait hole. To tell the truth I didn't believe a word that came out of that stupid ferrets mouth and I was putting him on about being mad at Harry, but I knew some gryfinndorrs where in the library so I decided to do some detective work.

A/N: Allrighty then, read and review this story and then I'll be a happy person
