Pairing: Harry/Draco
Notes: The odd Slytherin girl (and a few other characters that come in later) is mine. -^^- Draco, Harry, Snape etc aren't. Thank god Snape isn't. *shakes head*
It was the day before valentine's day, and people were running around like lovestruck idiots wondering if they'd get any valentine's cards. Except for one girl. An odd Slytherin who would go around grinning at random males for a reason only she knew. It was common knowledge that she didn't like guys. She didn't like girls either. When asked her sexual preference she would state "I don't have one." and walk off. But right now she was stood in the middle of a corridor watching everybody gawping at each other.
Oh yes. This would be fun.
Giggling, she hurried off to her Potions class and sat down in the back, boredly inspecting her fingernails. Chancing a look at the boy sitting next to her, she quickly identified him as Draco Malfoy, the most promiscuous Slytherin male of them all. Grinning a little, she decided he was to be her first victim, and quickly scanned the room for somebody unlikely, yet funny, to pair him with. There was Pansy, but she wasn't unlikely enough. Pairing him with Hermione wouldn't be funny, it'd be sickening. So, her eyes drifted away from the girls, and lingered on some of the boys for a while.
"Wishful thinking..." she muttered as her eyes landed on Harry Potter. "Worth a shot..." Draco turned and gave her a funny look, before asking her what she'd said. To which she replied,
"Nunya' business, shorty!" And giggled, throwing a caterpillar into the potion she'd memorised before school. He glared at her, but she skillfully ignored it as Snape came by and granted her a rare smile before saying,
"Very accurate potion. Exactly the right shade of purple. Five points to Slytherin." Then walked off, leaving her to wonder whether it had been a smile or a grimace. They probably looked the same anyway, she thought and noted down the ingredients to this particular silencing potion quickly. Looking a few more times at both boys, who appeared to hate each other, she ended up sitting down in her seat, scribbling things down in a black book. Said black book had gilt writing on the front, saying three words which by themselves would probably attract people to read it. These three words were 'plots and schemes'. She grinned some more, and looked up to note the body language the pair of boys used around each other. Everybody but her was still doing their potions.
"Perfect!" She exclaimed out loud when Harry was still standing next to Draco and they were in the middle of a glaring contest.
"What..?" He asked. She replied with a wink and a simple,
"Oh, don't mind me! Carry on!" And then went back to her scribbling. Harry gave her a funny look and went off back to his seat. Draco glared at her, which she didn't notice, and deftly snatched the book from her hand. He read the top of the first page out loud.
"I, Sherri Thompson, have decided that I will pair up two people for my valentine's day project." He gave the panicked girl a sneer before pushing her head so that she fell backwards, continuing to read. "The two people I have decided to pair up are..." He turned decidedly green at this and threw the book at the girl now identified as Sherri, who was currently sprawled out on the floor next to her couldron.
"Ow!" She screeched. "That'll teach ye', won't it, shorty? Never touch mah stuff!" With this, she got up, walked over and smacked him across the face sharply, before turning to pick up her dropped quill. Draco glared at her some more, before packing his things up. Class was over, finally.
'Sherri, is it? I'll have to be careful of her...'
