Apoppadripple Squggle woke up and instantley and remembered what day it was. It was September 1st and she was starting her 5th year at hogwarts today. She was looking foward to returning to Hogwarts as in the previous four years, she had made a number of friends such as Rah Mach, Jean Nangle and Liz Bellamy. She had made these three friends, but she had also made a very special friend and his name was Draco Malfoy.
Apoppadripple was in the house Gryffindor, and so being a very special friend to Malfoy was a problem as he was in the rival house, Slytherin. Last year they attended a ball together and some people had hated this idea. One of the people who seemed to hate it the most was a boy called Harry Potter. Apoppadripple assumed that he hated it because she was in Gryffindor along with Harry and Malfoy was not and was an enemy to Harry. This did not bother Apoppadripple though.

Everyone has arrived at Hogwarts and they are all in their own common rooms. Apoppadripple enters the Gryffindor common room later than everyone else.
Hermione: Where have you been Apoppadripple? You are late already! That is not a good start to the new school year you know!
Harry: Hey Hermione calm down! It is only the first day, give Apoppadripple a break!
Apoppadripple: Thanks Harry! If you must know Herm, I was with Draco Malfoy. He is so sweet.
Ron: Draco Malfoy? Are you sure??
Apoppadripple: I am perfectly sure Ron.
Hermione: My name isn't Herm. It is Hermione!!
Harry: Draco Malfoy isn't sweet Apoppadripple. I really think you shouldn't be going out with him you know.
Apoppadripple: Oh please, look it's the first day back at school and I need my rest. Now if you don't mind, I am going to bed. Goodnight.
Apoppadripple leaves and goes to bed.
Ron: That girl is insane. I mean firstly her name isn't normal, but she thinks Malfoy is sweet. Bonkers I tell you.
Harry: Yeah….
Hermione: Oh yes, Harry, what is going on between you and Dawith Geekcliffe?
Harry: What do you mean?
Ron: Harry, we saw you two talking on the train. Its so obvious that she is in love with you! And, by the looks of things you were pretty keen on her as well!
Harry: Well I must admit that I do like someone…..
Hermione: HA! I knew it! So you are going to ask Dawn to the start of term ball? This is so exciting!!
Ron: I know! They will be getting married soon! He already knows her middle name!
Harry: We were discussing it on the train ok?!
Ron: What is it again?
Harry: Losttheplot
Ron: * Laughs * I knew it was something stupid!
Hermione: I don't think that it is very funny to laugh at another persons name Ron!
Ron: * sighs* You can tell we are back at school again Harry.
