"Mr Malfoy?! Would you kindly pay attention?!" bellowed Professor Flitwick, in his squeaky little voice.

"Hmm?" Draco sleepily looked up at the Professor and rubbed his eyes, "Uhh…cats in the cradle with silver spoons and laughing cows?"

Flitwick looked disapprovingly at raco as the class broke out into hysterics. Harry and Ron sniggered to each other, but Hermione looked across to the Slytherins. Something was very different with them. Malfoy was dozing in class, Pansy was being particularly icy to everyone, and Crabbe and Goyle weren't present at all; but Hermione knew why. After all, both were busted, along with their fathers, for joining the Death Eaters.

As the class settled down from their ordeal, Professor Flitwick began to recap on the Seven Deadly Sins, and the charms made to produce and provoke them, when the bell rang to signify the end of the lesson. There was pandemonium as the students hurried to pack their bags and be in the Great Hall for lunch.

"Mr Malfoy, could I please talk to you for a quick moment?" asked Professor Flitwick.

Malfoy shot Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott a bored look and signalled them to go on without him.

"Yes Sir?" Malfoy asked, sarcastically.

"Well Mr Malfoy, you seem to be sleeping quite a lot in my classes and to but it bluntly, you're failing!" Flitwick replied, a scowl appearing on his tiny face, "I think you should see a charms tutor."

"What?! Why?" Draco stupidly asked,

"Well as I just said, Mr Malfoy, YOU'RE FAILING."

"B-bb-b," Malfoy spluttered, a tutor! Who could he find to tutor him! Theo was way too busy with his head boy duties, "who's going to tutor me?"

"Would it not be an idea to ask help from the school's top student, hmm?"

Draco looked dumbfounded at the professor, "Why?! Why her?"

Flitwick looked at Draco, exasperation on his face.

"Well as I just said, again, she is the top student and in my class YOU'RE at the bottom. Seek out her help Mr Malfoy, or cease to be a part of my class."

Blaise and Theo sat in front of a blazing fire back at the Slytherin dungeons. Draco paced back and forth ranting,

"Fuck! How could he ask me to do this?! HE KNOWS HOW MUCH OUR HOUSES HATE EACH OTHER! Filthy little mud-blood,"

"Oi!" yelled Theo, "Watch your language. She may be a Gryffindor, and a muggle born, but she doesn't deserve your mouth."

"Ohhh," cooed Blaise, "Does Theo have a soft spot for the Brains?"

Theo glared and sniped back at Blaise, "No! She's just a lot nicer than people think."

Malfoy threw himself into a puffy armchair next to Blaise, "This blows."

"I hear what you're saying, Draco." Said Blaise calmly. He placed a hand on Draco's shoulder, only to have him glare at him with fire in his eyes.

Draco stood abruptly and stalked off in the direction of the stairs,

"Where are you going?" asked Theo,

"Where do you fucking think?!" bellowed Malfoy, "I'm going to bed!" and with that he trudged down the stairs and slammed the dormitory door.

Pansy Parkinson looked over in Blaise and Theo's direction with an inquisitive look, Blaise just shrugged.
