TORI
Victoria walked into the centre of the room and screamed. She had been looking for her stupid rat for over two hours. It was like it had fallen off the end of the earth. She could see the headlines: Stupid Rat finds End of Earth. Celebrates, Falls Off. Great story, hey! She was positive that she had looked every where for the stupid thing. It wasn't even really hers. It was her brothers, but he wanted it to die so he stopped feeding it. It wasn't like he had given it to her, but she still felt a sentimental bond to it. To a rat? She thought. Yeuch. How disgusting.
Suddenly she heard a small squeak. It was coming from inside her wardrobe. She ran over and opened the doors… and found Lucas the rat sitting, looking very proud of himself on top of Tori's best pair of shoes. Well, they looked like her best pair, but underneath all the rat poo, she couldn't really tell. She screamed again. This wasn't her day.
"SCOTT!" She yelled. "COME AND GET YOUR STUPID RAT!"
Her younger brother wandered into the room. He was chewing gum, and looking bored. Tori could have murdered both him and Lucas at that moment, but she restrained herself. Because walking in behind him was the most GORGEOUS guy she had ever seen. She stammered out a greeting.
"H…hi! I'm Victoria… Tori." She wondered who he could be. He grinned, and drawled out in a sexy voice "Hi. I'm Draco. Um, last time I saw you, we played together in your back yard nude. That was quite a few years ago."
Tori's mind raced; who was he… Draco, Draco, DRACO! Draco Malfoy? Omigod! How embarrassing! She HAD run around nude with him when they were three years old… she had the photos still! She desperately wished she could sink into the ground… he was so hot! And her brother didn't make it any worse… he said "I named my rat after your dad!" Tori just smiled wanly. How much worse could you get?
DRACO
He walked into the room with Scott. He couldn't believe his father had made him come… how much more boring could you get? A day at some long lost friend's house, with no-one his own age… he stopped that train of thought. Maybe there was on person his own age… Victoria. He'd forgotten about her. How could that have happened? He never forgot a babe… oh, because he hadn't seen her for the past 12 years. How times had changed. Her long dark hair fell over her face as her snub nose scrunched up trying to recognise him. She said confidently "Hi. I'm Victoria… Tori." How Draco wished he could be that confident. He blurted out the first thing that came into his head: "Hi. I'm Draco. Um, last time I saw you, we played together in your back yard nude. That was quite a few years ago." He grimaced inwardly. What. An. Idiot. She thought he was a freak. Tori was stuck for words… she looked around uncomfortably. Suddenly Scott said: "I named my rat after your dad." Blinks all round.
TORI
Tori thought… gotta break the ice. OK, here goes… "Um, what school do you go to Draco?"
He grunted, and muttered something under his breath. Her mind went into panic. Saying 'what?' would be rude… she could say 'pardon?'… no, it was too late now. She nodded, and said "Cool. I've heard of that school. Is it any good?"
He looked at her dumbfounded, and then at her brother. He said "Um, Scott, do you want an ice-cream? My father brought some."
Scott looked blank, then he clicked. "Oooooooooooooh… yeah I do…" and raced out. Omigod, Tori thought, he got rid of my brother. He wants to talk to me. What about?
And then came a total surprise. He said "Aren't you a muggle?" Tori's thought patterns stopped completely. She replied "What?" He said "Shit. You are."
Tori asked: "What's a mulgar?" He said "It's a muggle. It's… um… our word for human."
She looked at him quizically. "Our???"
He repeated: "Shit."
DRACO
Ooooooh shit, shit, shit. The first rule of wizarding… never let a muggle know about wizards. Second rule… if one breaks the first rule, immediately perform a memory charm. Do NOT, tell a muggle about wizards. Third rule... never perform sexual acts with any magical creature… nasty results. Fourth rule… where is this going? Back to Draco. Well, he had just successfully broken the first two rules… maybe not the third… but he was screwed.
