Disclaimer: I really want to and could tell you that I am very rich and own Harry Potter, but sadly, I haven't got either.


Weak laughing could be heard coming from Granger as she laughed at one of Viktor Krum's many, many jokes while they danced. It was the Yule Ball and he had been telling jokes to her almost the entire time. I knew ; I had been dancing with Draco only a couple of feet away and was hearing every bit of it. I was almost sure that she and I (only from eavesdropping) had heard every magical joke there ever was from him at least twice.

Though, knowing Granger and how she is, I guess she didn't want to be rude to him, so she tried to sound as though she was interested in every detail and made sure to laugh at every joke no matter how hard it was not to just tell him to shut the bloody hell up. I'm glad I wasn't with him, I would have told him that about two hours ago.

The look on Granger's face when Krum wasn't looking was priceless. It was a mixture of anger, annoyance, and pleading for someone to save her from this hell. Anybody could tell(Besides Krum of course) that she was having such a bad time that she would have rather been here with anyone else, my date even. At least he didn't talk every second telling jokes about Merlin and some stupid squid! I mean, seriously who cares about a freaking squid at a dance?

Honestly, I wasn't having the best time either. Sure Draco and I were friends, but we weren't attracted to each other in that way. The only reason we went together was because we didn't really find anyone suitable, so we just came together as friends, but nothing more. Though I knew that there was someone on Draco's mind the entire time we had been dancing just as well as mine, no matter how much I tried to deny it. Yes, I knew that he'd been sneaking jealous glances at Granger and Krum all night long.

Oh no. Krum was starting yet another joke. I couldn't stand another one or I would die of annoyance. It can happen, it almost happened to Granger when Draco annoyed the living hell out of her a week ago.

I realized something. We had been dancing this entire time next to Granger and that bloody chatter box all night long, and I was getting tired from all the dancing.

"Draco, I'm tired. I'm going to take a break and sit down," I said and he nodded.

I walked over with Draco to the table behind Potter and that Patil girl and sat down. I laughed out loud, and Draco looked at me confused, but he shrugged it off. That stupid Patil girl, she must be having a pitiful time. It was just seconds later that another Durmstrang student had come over and asked her to dance which she gratefully said yes to. If he was anywhere near to as much as a talker as Krum, then Merlin be with her. She would've rather had stayed with Potter if he was.

Draco then got up and walked over to the refreshment table, getting some pumpkin juice.

Seriously, he could be a bit more considerate and ask me if I at least wanted anything while he was over there.

Oh dammit, now I'm thirsty. I want some pumpkin juice. Maybe thinking out the Imperius curse to make Potter get me some will work.

Imperio! Get me some pumpkin juice!

That blasted Potter just sat there not moving, staring out into space, not getting my juice.

Damn.

I started to grin evilly. My head had just hatched a new and perfect plan.

I quickly grabbed the closest thing I could use, which turned out to be a quill that was lying around. Throwing it, I hit Potter in the back of the head.

Direct hit!

He grabbed his head feeling the quill hit his head and looked at me.

He walked out of the hall and I followed him, us both knowing that it would cause a commotion to see us both in a conversation together. After I got out in the corridor I could see him still rubbing his head. I hit him that hard.

"What was that for Parkinson!" he asked me, still rubbing the back of his head.

It was getting kind of annoying.

"I needed to tell you something!" I said and he looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"Then why didn't you just write it down on like a napkin or something. I mean, it i>was /i> a quill! You could have instead of hitting me in the head with it!" he reasoned.

"Shut up, stop acting like a baby," I said.

"Well, what do you want?" he asked irritably. It was about time that he stopped rubbing his stupid head.

"I have a plan..." I said grinning again, causing him to look afraid. Merlin, this guy is in Gryffindor? He has the bloody courage to stand up to Voldemort, but is a little afraid if I have a grin?

"So...what is it?" he asked.

"Have you noticed the looks they've been giving each other tonight?" I asked, assuming he knew who I meant, I mean, it had been kind of obvious.

"Yeah I mean, she keeps looking at me, but she's with him, and Hermione and Ron say-" he was saying, but stopped abruptly when he saw my confused face.

Who in the hell was he talking about?

"Oh, that's not who we were talking about, were we?" he asked stupidly.

Well duh you idiot!

"Thought a light bulb might go off in that little brain of yours," I teased, causing him to glare.

"Well then, who was it?" he asked. Merlin, he must have been more of an idiot than I thought!

"Draco and Granger!" I hissed , causing him to look through the doors at them and then at me in disbelief.

"Hermione and Malfoy? No way. There is no way that-"

"Look!" I pointed,and he looked over at them. Draco was giving another jealous look towards the couple dancing,and Granger had a longing look in her eyes as she saw Draco when his back was turned.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. But I don't think we should interfere with people's lives," he said, sighing.

"Oh come on Potter, you're the king of interfering in people's lives!"I argued, causing him to look confused.

"What?"

"Oh never mind!" I said.

Finally I told him what I had in mind. He then started to say how it wasn't a good idea. I changed his mind with a little agreement saying that if he didn't, I would tell the whole school that he was gay and fancied Dumbledore.

After he had agreed, we decided that after we worked all the details out (which was only a couple of minutes) that we would tell Granger and Draco to come to the corridor and the plan would fall through from there. After that we walked into the Great Hall and went over to Hermione and Draco.

"Draco, meet me in the broom closet in the corridor in exactly two minutes," I whispered seductively, causing him to raise his eyebrows in interest and nod in agreement.

Hey, we weren't dating, but who was Draco Malfoy to turn down a snog, or at least what he thought was one? And with me at that! I'm basically the hottest girl in Hogwarts!

I could hear Potter talking to Granger now from how close I was to them.

"Hermione I er...need you to meet me in the broom closet now, but wait until I am out of here," he mumbled, whispering the last part with a somewhat shocked look on his face. I guess he couldn't believe he had just said that. Granger then stopped dancing with Krum and looked at him with an equally shocked look on her face.

Stupid Potter! You screwed up my plan! My brilliant plan! You were supposed to sound like you meant it, not like a girl has just been called she's fat!

"Harry, did I hear you right?" she asked.

"Yea I er...need you to help me get something out of it," he said with as much meaning as he could.

Even though she knew he was probably lying, she would use any excuse to get away from Viktor. She told him she had to go help Harry,and he stupidly believed her like the idiot he was, and the two walked out.

When I walked out, he showed that the closet door was open, and Granger was in there trying to 'find what he was looking for'.

"Harry I don't see it," she said.

"Just- uh- keep looking. Look over into the corner!" he said and she did, causing her to go out of sight.

I saw that Draco was about to come through the door,so Potter muttered a disillusion charm so he couldn't see us. Luckily, he had his wand in his robe pocket.

As Draco walked into the broom closet,I could hear him calling my name,but not loud enough for Granger to hear apparently. Granger must be deaf or something cause he was talking pretty loudly. When he got through the door, Potter and I rushed over and shut the door, locking it.

"Step one, accomplished," I cackled, smirking but not loud enough for Draco and Granger couldn't hear.

The next noise that could be heard was Granger and Draco realizing who they were stuck in there with.

"You?"


Hey guys, I know I still haven't finished 'SBS' but this is just a little ficlet if you would say that I had already written. Thanks to tomfeltonisdeadsexy at the Harrypotterfanfiction forums for being my beta. This story is going to be short, no doubt at that. I was just going to make it a really long one-shot but decided against it. So this story is probably going to be 5 chapters or so before it's finished. Anyway, I hope you like it.
