Please review, my writing has gone down hill lately and since "The Down Fall of Draco Malfoy" I am coming up short on other stories but this one came to me when I was talking to my friend.
I DON'T OWN THIS, JUST THE PLOT!
Chapter One
Sounds perfect
Every female in the world white or black or even muggle or witch have one dream that is the same. A dream so special that they will think about it as least once a day. Every time you see one of us sign then you know that we are thinking about it, all of the dazed looks and all the times that you call our names and we don't hear them we are thinking about it then too. You have to understand that its not our fault, its everyone else's, the people that raised us and all of those cheeky romance novels that we read and the films that we watch that all tell us that life will be complete with one simple thing and then we go looking for it. The only trouble is that its harder done then said.
I once heard that there are three stages to everyone women's life, childhood, teenagers and womanhood. When you're a child you don't even think about it, in fact the thought kind of makes you feel ill and then when you're a teenager you don't mind as much but you still go looking and sometimes it can cause you more trouble then its worth. And then there is the final stage: womanhood, that is when things get bad because suddenly its all you can think about and you do anything to get one of your own.
Personally I am still a teenager and while I understand the fact that I still have a good few years left before I had to worry about this kind of thing I suddenly found myself looking for one of my own, people call me the smartest witch of my age and I am not that for nothing. I like to be one step ahead of everyone else. By now I would like to think that you know what I am talking about.
The perfect guy.
Someone who was kind and sweet, who knew exactly what you needed to hear, he would e cute and funny and every time you saw him your heart would flutter and you would have a hard time breathing because you are too busy taking in everything about him in. it all sounds perfect right? And while I would love to have someone like this there seems to be one small problem…
…finding him.
I had tried before and for a while I had thought that I had him but it turned out not to work, first there was Victor, he was famous, kind and alright, limited English but it was still something that I could work with, at least that is what I thought at the time. He turned out to be not so perfect, he was rude when other people were not around and he would just sit with me in the library and look at me. I liked my time in the library, it was the only time that I was able to have to myself and the time that I got, the small periods that I could be by myself and not get told off for doing nothing but work was getting invaded because he wanted to look at me. It was weird and not the kind of thing I was looking for. And then the latest, now I am really not sure what I was thinking, I can tell you that, I love him true but not in that way, it seemed wrong for us to date and I like to think that Ron now thinks the same. People had always said how we were so different but so the same in the way that we had fights all the time and yeah maybe we could of worked out…if we had not been such good friends. The kissing seemed off and it felt unnatural to be…touching him in that way. Lets just say that I soon found him not to be perfect but we were still friends.
So here I was two months after our big break up and walking down the corridor with him and Harry, they were talking about something that I did not care about and I was looking at the floor was it passed under my feet, holding onto my lesson books and thinking about all of the boys in the school but no one seemed to fit what I needed. Some one that would be there for me all the time, someone smart, someone who-
"Watch it mudblood!"
Something hard hit my shoulder and my books feel out my hands as I tried to keep my balance, Harry and Ron grabbed onto me to steady me and when I was sure I was safe I turned to the person who had bumped into me with a scowl. I almost rolled my eyes when I saw her, after all of these years I should of known that it would be her.
"You should watch were your going" Pansy sneered "I am going to have to wash these cloths now that some thing as bad as you has touched them"
I ignored her as I reached down to collect my books, I was not going to lose my temper over her when I understood that it was not worth it, she was not worth it. I picked them up and went to walk away, I had every intention of leaving with a word but there was only so much that one girl could take.
"What's wrong Granger? Did those dirty and unworthy parents of your not even teach you how to speak? I bet they can do nothing but grunt too?"
For the second time that day my books feel out of my hands but this time it was not because someone had knocked them out but because I had dropped them in my hurry to reach Pansy. I should of just punched her but I had no time to think, I jumped at her and forced all of my weight onto her and her back hit the floor with a "thud". she yelled out in pain and I raised my fist, my brain was catching up with my body and I got myself ready to punch that look off her face when someone grabbed hold onto my bony tale, trying to pull me off of her. My face snapped up and I saw Helen there, one of Pansy's friends trying to help the Slytherin girl.
"Get the hell off of her!"
Helen let go of my hair and I was amazed to see that she was suddenly gone from my view point it was only when I looked down that I was that Ginny had come to my rescue and had tackled the girl to the ground. A sharp pain ran across my face and I looked down to see Pansy clawing at me, trying to get me off of her, I struggled for a second before raising my first once again and this time I found my target. Pansy's face snapped to the side from the force and for a second I thought that she was going to cry. Caught unaware Pansy moved forward and I move to the side allowing her to get the upper hand, her nose was bleeding but she did not seem to care, she grabbed hold of the front of my robes, pulled me up and then let me go. My head hit the floor and I blinked a few times, trying to get rid of the horrible throbbing that was happening in the spot that had hit the stone floor, I yelled out in pain as she slapped me in the face, I looked back and was confused as she yelled out in pain. Ginny was done with her fight with the wimpy Slytherin girl and she had come to my aid.
Pansy was pulled away from me by the back of her robes and pushed into the wall, I got to my feet and caught a glimpse of Harry and Ron in the growing crowd as I got ready to rejoin the fight. Their mouths were open in shock and I knew that they would be helping if they had not been so shocked. I had never been one for violence but this girl had it coming to her.
Ginny and I advanced on the black haired girl but instead of looking scared she looked determined, she wiped her nose and raised her fists, getting ready to defend herself when we attacked. We came from both sides and got ready to feel the satisfaction of hurting the girl I loathed when-
"What is going on here?"
We all froze at the sound of the voice and turned to see Professor McGonagall standing there, her arms folded and a look of shock at what she was seeing on her face. I looked at Pansy and thought about how bad this looked Pansy was standing there will blood smeared on random parts on her face. Ginny's top was ripped at the op from ere the girl she had been fighting had tried to hurt her and I knew that I must of looked a sight. My cheek was red from were I had been slapped and my hair had fallen out of its pony tale with pieces of hair sticking out at odd angels from were it had been pulled so much. Pansy seemed to be thinking that same thins because she slowly lowered her fists, she understood that we were not going to be able to talk out way out of this one but there was no use in making it seem worse.
"Well?" she asked "do none of you have anything that you want to say for yourselves?"
"Pansy called Hermione a mudblood Professor" Harry called and I nearly smiled, they were always there looking out for me.
Professor McGonagall was silent for a second and I could of sworn that her expression was soft for a moment before it became stern once again.
"I was not talking to you thank you Potter. Granger, Weasley and Parkinson come with me please"
Knowing that Harry and Ron would collect my books I followed the teacher with Ginny by my side, we did not concern ourselves with Pansy who was waling behind us while trying to wide the blood off of her face with her sleeve. We walked for so long that my panicky side started to get the best of me and I found myself thinking about what was going to happened to us now and how much trouble we were going to be in. How was she going to punish us? Would she take house points from us? We finally reached an empty class room and she opened the door, her stern glare telling us to enter without a word.
"Sit down" she said in a cold voice as she closed the door behind her, not wanting to make her madder then she already was we did as we were asked. "I can not even start to tell you how disappointed I am with you all right now. I thought ore of you three. Miss Granger and Weasley, you have never coughed me any trouble in all the time that you have been here and this is that last thing that I would of expected from you. And you Miss Parkinson, you have gotten into so much trouble this year that I had hoped that you would of learned your lesson by now"
Pansy sat there with her arms crossed and did not even both to look at the teacher.
"I think that this has gone on for long enough"
Pansy snorted and McGonagall turned to her.
"Something wrong?"
"Oh no professor" Pansy said in a false voice "I was just wondering what you were going to do to punish us"
If the professor heard the tone that Pansy used she did not show it, she just simply smiled.
"I am going to make you work together"
We all sat up in our chairs and looked at the teacher like she had said that the world was going to end, she had to be joking.
"But professor she started it!" I moaned.
"Please do not moan Miss Granger, it is childish and it does not become you"
I could feel myself turn red and I looked down at the table in embarrassment, I did not want to seem childish but she had been the one who had started it. It was true that I had given in to her when she had been unkind to me but after all the years that she had been doing it I felt like I could not longer take anymore.
"As I was saying you will all be working together on a project. I do not mind what it is about and how you go about doing it but I want it done it three weeks. You will all have to take part in it and if it is not done then believe me when I say that at lost worse will happen to you all" she glared at us for a few seconds to allow what she was saying to sink in before she suddenly smiled "Get used to each other company ladies because you are going to be seeing a lot of ach other from now on"
I looked at Ginny and she looked as horrified as I did while Pansy was opening and closer her mouth, trying to think of something to say but coming up with nothing, for the first time in my life it seemed like we were both thinking the same thing.
"You will be staying her for the next hour, think of it as your detention. When I come back I want to know what your project is going to be able. All of your free time is going to go into it and if you slack or even think about not doing it then you should understand that I will hear about it. And yes that included you Miss Parkinson, you may not be in my house but I would advice you to not underestimate me when it comes to my punishments"
She swiftly turned away and walked to the door, before closing it behind her she turned around again.
"Remember" she said "One hour"
---*---
"I don't believe it"
Blaise sat back his chair and smirked at his two friends and the shocked looks on their faces, he could see their mind working in over time and trying to tell if he was telling the truth or not, he did not mind what they decided to do because he had seen the historic event first hand.
"It happened, I was there. Pansy just said one little thing to the mudblood and she went nuts. Ran up to her and jumped right on her, it was the best cat fight that I had seen in some time, I'll tell you that much. I don't think that there will ever be another one like it, most of them are afraid to that they will break a nail or something but this was the full effort. And then when the mini Weasley joined in…"
Blaise left the sentence hanging and he smirked, knowing that they were going to have to ask what happened next. Finally Theo gave in.
"What happened then?"
Blaise leaned forward suddenly feeling the need to tell them, it had been some time since there had been anything that was worth talking about.
"She beat the hell out of Helen and then moved in to save Granger, I thought they were going to kill her and then McGonagall came along and stopped all of the fun"
Theo looked thoughtful and Blaise turned to Draco, he was sitting down in the main arm chair his face looking at the fire place as the fire burned and an unconcerned expression on his face, he had yet to say anything but Blaise knew that there must be something that he wanted to say. Pansy was a reluctant friend of his and he knew that Granger was his favourite muggle born to pick on.
"What about you Draco?" Blaise asked "What do you think of the whole thing?"
Draco remained silent for a second longer before he turned his cool glare to his friend and looked at his through narrow eyes, he had no concern for what Granger and her friends got up to but he was still…intrigued by her behaviour, he would of never thought that someone like her would have had it in them to behave like that.
"I think that it was a one off" he finally said dismissively as he turned back to the fire that had had his attention before hand "Nothing more then that"
Blaise and Theo shared a small look before talking about something else, Draco thought that he may or heard the words "potion" in there some where but he was too busy in his own thoughts to really care. He had hated Granger since he had come to this school and everything about her seemed wrong, her hair, her face, her eyes, her blood…but her blood had never been the only thing that he had hated about her there was more to it then that…something that felt deeper then that, he just had no idea what it was.
----*----
We should probably at least try and think of something, I know that we all want to get out of her some time today"
"Oh shut up Granger, its your fault that we are in here in the first place"
"It is not, if you had been able to keep your thoughts to yourself for once then I am sure that-"
"Oh your sure, are you? Well if your sure then it just has to be right. God knows what would happen if you turned out to be wrong"
"My God" Ginny said "What is the matter with you? Do you have to be mean to everyone that you meet or is it something that you only do a few times a week?"
"I will have you now that I am a very nice person, just not to people like you"
"What ever" Ginny muttered "but Hermione is right, we are going to have to think of something to work on before she gets back and just sitting here is not going to help any of us"
"Fine, Granger, you're the smart one what are we going to do?"
I blinked slightly from the shock of Pansy called me smart openly but finally said:
"Well…it should be something that we all have in common or something that we all like or it will not be easy fro everyone to work on. Something that we can work on for outside of class and not feel like we are going to die because of how bored we are"
"Well, we have nothing in common" Pansy said.
"So it is going to have to be something that we all like" Ginny agreed "but is there anything that we all like?"
There was a moments silence as we tried to think of something, we were all completely different, even Ginny and myself were nothing alike even though we were friends but we would have a hard time thinking of something to work on.
"We all have friends" Ginny said lamely and Pansy snorted.
"What you mean those two boys you too hang onto like a life source?"
Ignoring Pansy I suddenly sat up as a thought came to me, if it would have to be something that we would all like then there could only be one thing.
"Guys"
Ginny and Pansy turned to me with confused looks on their faces and I was reminded of Ron and Harry when they did not understand what they had to do for their homework, it was a look that I was used to getting.
"Guys? What the hell would we write about them?" Pansy asked.
"No, not just guys, I am talking about the perfect guy"
Ginny and Pansy were silent for a second and I wondered if they believed that I had really just said that, I had never openly had an interest in boys before but this all seemed different, he was someone that everyone wanted and he was the hardest thing to find. Pansy leaned forward in her chair and looked at me with a funny expression on her face, like she was trying to work something out.
"Are you saying that for our project we should try and find the perfect guy?"
I nodded and Ginny smiled.
"It's perfect"
"No" Pansy said "Its useless. He does not exist, its simple fact"
"So you don't want to look?" I asked.
"Well never find him…"
"That's not what I asked, we can look and if we fail then fine but it will still be a report, we need to say what we are doing and make notes, even if we fail we have still done something"
Pansy bit her lip and for the first time in her life she looked unsure about something.
"But if we do find him…and I do mean if then what? Who gets him?"
I shrugged.
"No one will get him, it would just be the fact that we could say from then on that we did, we found him"
The door opened and the we fell silent under McGonagall's stern look.
"Well?" she asked "Do you know what your project is going to be?"
I looked at Pansy with a pleading look in my eyes, I already knew that Ginny was going to do this with me but I was not so sure about Pansy and we were going to need her support to do this. We locked eyes for a second and she scowled at me before sighing and her expression softened as she turned to the teacher and said:
"Yeah, we know what we are going to do"
The professor raised her eyebrows in surprise and I knew that she had not really expected us to come up with anything, she had just been hoping that we could stay in a room without killing one another.
"Very well and remember, two weeks no more and no less"
We nodded.
The perfect guy.
"Sounds perfect"
Review please?
