Chapter 1: Wicked Game
A definition of a prince could be a person or thing that is chief or preeminent in any class or group. This would perfectly describe Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini, the Princes of Slytherin. They were royals amongst the Slytherins and their word was law. They walked the halls of Hogwarts with such confidence and arrogance it made all the girls naturally fall for them and make men jealous of them. It was the repeat final year at Hogwarts, 7th year, both boys wanted to make the best of it and live it up to the fullest. After Voldemort's defeat from Harry Potter, the Wizarding world was more accepting towards muggleborns. All the prejudices and prides of pureblood families have left and they all had pledged to the ministry (even if they didn't mean it) that they will treat muggleborns with the same respect as if they were pureblood.
As Draco and Blaise walked the halls on their way to their last class of the day, potions class, Blaise smiled at a pretty blonde Ravenclaw. The Ravenclaw blushed furiously and turned back to face her group of friends who suddenly became very interested in the conversation they were having. Draco just nudged Blaise and they continued on their way.
"This year has been great, it's sad it has to come to an end soon" Blaise told Draco as they walked into the classroom.
Professor Slughorn had returned again as their Potions Master since Severus death. Draco still missed Professor Snape, he was a great mentor and he helped him greatly through the dark times. The two boys made their way to their seats. Today they had double potions with the Gryffindors, their long time rival house.
"Yes well its only the end of February, we still have 3 months until June to enjoy ourselves a little more before we are out in the real world" Draco said sarcastically.
Draco and Blaise versions of the "real" world were not like to any typical young adults. Both come from very financially stable families. Their jobs were just running the family business once graduating and contributing more to the already over abundant family wealth. Since Draco's father's death, Draco automatically inherited everything being he is the next male heir in line. But Draco put the company in the trust of the board until he finished his education at Hogwarts. Just in the last minute before the bell rang their Gryffindor counterparts came running into the door and high fived each other for making it on time, with a very frazzled annoyed girl behind them.
"Oh look who made it on time for a change" Blaise said sarcastically and nudged at Draco to look. Draco looked over at the golden trio. The so called Princes of Gryffindor Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, and then tag-a-long Hermione Granger. Draco looked at them and sneered, ever since the defeat of the Dark Lord both boys have been just as popular with the ladies as them. Well who could blame them? Who wouldn't want to be with the heroes of the entire Wizarding world?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione made their way to the last open seats, which happened to be the table to right of Draco. There was one seat also available in front of them where Hermione sat. Blaise and Draco just looked at each other in annoyance.
"We are surrounded by gryffindorks, someone please help us" Blaise sniggered.
Harry and Ron both glared evil looks at them. Hermione just continued to look forward paying attention to what Professor Slughorn had to say and taking notes.
"Ok class, today we are going to learn how to make a Wit-Sharpening Potion, can anyone tell me about the potion and the main ingredients in it?" Professor Slughorn asked. Hermione's hand immediately shot up into the air and waved it around furiously. Professor gleamed happily at his bright student.
"Yes Ms. Granger please tell us" Professor Slughorn.
"The Wit-Sharpening potion effect is presumably to make a person think more clearly and the main ingredients are ground scarab beetle, cut up ginger root and armadillo bile." Hermione said proudly.
"Yes that's correct 20 points to Gryffindor, now I'm going to write the instructions I want you to perform on the board…"Professor Slughorn said and turned around and started writing on the board.
"It's too bad you're not smart enough to conjure up a spell to make yourself prettier Granger, and then maybe I might give you the privilege of being with me" Draco said whispered arrogantly. Hermione just glared at Draco and watched how Blaise chuckled in amusement.
"The privilege? With you? And what privilege is that? According to girls, the only privilege with you is being left unsatisfied" Hermione said a matter of factly. Harry and Ron sniggered in their seats and whispered "Go Hermione!"
"Oh really Granger? Would you like to find out for yourself instead of hear say?" Draco said smugly.
Just then the bell rang and all the students were all getting up out of their seats.
"Class I want a foot long essay describing why this potion is effective in everyday society due in 3 days, thank you" Professor Slughorn announced. All the students groaned as they exited the dark dungeons. The trio walked together towards the Great Hall for dinner and the Slytherin duo followed suit. Girls waved and winked at Harry and Ron on the way there. Hermione just rolled her eyes and continued to be oblivious to scenes taking place.
"You know they only like you cause of what you two did, do you even know if they like you for you?" Hermione asked walking up the steps behind the boys. Ron turned back towards Hermione and gave her a lopsided grin.
"At this point Hermione we really don't care, girls are all over us like moths to a flame, and this is great! And I have you know every girl is jealous of you as well" Ron stated. Hermione raised one eyebrow in a quizzical expression.
"Oh really how so?" Hermione asked as they entered the Great Hall.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione made their way to the Gryffindor table and sat in their usual seats. After piling their plates full of food they continued the conversation.
"Well Hermione you are the only girl that is constantly around us, do you know how many girls wish they were around us all the time?" Harry said with a mouth full of food. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Oh yes I can only imagine, well anyways I rather have a guy who likes me for my brains and likes me for me…is that so much to ask?" Hermione asked. Ron was the one to answer.
"He will come around sooner or later Hermione and god save him if he can handle your intellect and wittiness" Ron stated. Hermione nodded in agreement and smiled at her two male companions. Yes they were egotistical sometimes but they truly had a heart of gold.
Professor McGonagall stood from her chair and raised her hands for silence. The entire Great Hall turned to stare at their headmistress. Professor McGonagall was a fair but strict Headmistress, nobody dared to cross her.
"Students I have an announcement to make, towards the end of the year we will be having an end of the year final good-bye dance, much like a muggle prom for those of you familiar with that. The theme will be The Endless Waltz because this event will be forever timeless and we will cherish the memories we made here at Hogwarts forever. This is for 5th year and ups only, due to the fact we have a double 7th year class. Also much like the muggle prom we will announce a King and Queen for the graduating class. Voting for candidates will start in 4 weeks. No charms will be allowed to enhance or minimize votes everything will be done handwritten to out rule any cheating. The prom will be at the end of May before graduation. Prefects will be working on organization of this event please speak to them for any questions, that is all" McGonagall finished.
The entire hall was silent for about a full minute as everyone exchanged glances about this new announcement, then the chatter began to echo throughout the hall. All the girls were giggling about what guy they wanted to go with and who they would vote for to be King and Queen and the boys were talking about how stressful this was going to be asking a girl to be their date much like the Yule Ball.
"So who do you think is going to be nominated King Draco?" Blaise asked. Draco looked at him like he should have known the answer already.
"Well there are 4 slots to be filled, so that's me, you, Potter, and Weasley. The "princes" of their respective house" Draco said mimicking the quotation marks with his fingers. Blaise smiled egotistically.
"Well that's for damn sure mate, who do you think will be picked for Queen?" Blaise asked drinking some pumpkin juice. Draco leaned back against the wall and crossed his arms thinking.
"Well I bet any of these girls could be voted for if we showed them attention, just think about it, if we start acting like they mean something to us, then other people will think they are cool and vote for them, it's simple logic really" Draco finished. Blaise almost choked on his pumpkin juice.
"So you're saying we can turn any girl into the next prom queen regardless who she is?" Blaise asked deviously. An idea was forming in Blaise's head for his dear friend.
"In a matter of speaking yes" Draco said.
"So you are very confident in this?" Blaise asked.
"Yes I am" Draco answered.
"Willing to bet on it?" Blaise asked. Draco gave him a quizzical look.
"Explain" Draco asked. Blaise just smiled but he looked like he was a wolf smiling at a lamb he was about to devour.
"Well I bet that the girl I pick you can't turn her into the prom queen" Blaise said crossing his arms over his chest.
Draco sat up straight his attention fully on his friend.
"Oh really like who?" Draco asked.
"Hermione Granger" Blaise said. As soon as those words escaped his lips the world seemed to stop spinning at that point and time. Draco laughed.
"Really? Granger? Even though she is a train wreck that got hit by the knight bus, I can still make her into the Prom Queen" Draco said smugly. Blaise just stared at his friend.
"Ok so the bet is on, you have 8 weeks to turn her into Prom Queen" Blaise said.
"Stakes?" Draco asked. Blaise had to think for a moment before an idea came to him.
"Loser has to wear red and gold dress robes to graduation with the lettering "Gryffindor is the Best" on it" Blaise said. Draco just did his infamous smirk.
"Well Blaise then start making it cause there is no way I'm losing" Draco said confidently.
"Ok mighty Draco let's see how long it takes you to just be on good speaking terms with her, I am truly going to enjoy this" Blaise said. Draco just waved his hand dismissal.
"Just wait, step one is know your enemy and their territory, and you will see tomorrow" Draco said.
"Ok so tomorrow is going to be Day 1 of 56 to go…good luck mate" Blaise said. Draco just rolled his eyes and pondered his plan of action.
"Oh this wicked game we are about to play" Draco smirked.
