A/N: Hi! This is a sort of like a prequel to my supposed one-shot Conscience with the NAKED Malfoy dmhg written about two years ago (which is just the previous chapter hehe)? Just felt like writing something (!!) so here goes!

Hope you like it!!

a prequel
How Malfoy Got NAKED

Ron gaped at the plastic bottle pointing right at him with its capped end. Having chosen a Truth earlier on, it was his turn for a Dare… But he didn't even want to play Truth or Dare in the first place! It was Kevin, a next-room fellow Gryffindor, who insisted on it because he "hadn't played it in ages". Right, like that should have been a good enough reason to convince him to get into the game!

"So what's in for Ron?" inquired another boy who was in the game, excited by the prospect that they were going to give Ron a Dare.

Kevin's eyes gleamed. "I've been thinking about this, Ron. I think it would be a great prank on that Slytherin brat…"

Having a hard time holding a steady gaze at Kevin, Ron shuddered. He almost felt like whimpering.

---------------------

"WHAT THE MERLIN CRAP?" roared Draco Malfoy.

His lackeys stuffed fingers into their ears (only, those beefy fingers could barely fit in properly – but they tried anyways), fearing the thunderous exclaim and terrified of Malfoy's foul mood. "Um… what happened?"

Malfoy did not bother to answer. He glared at the two over-sized trash at his door before turning back to face the wardrobe which was empty aside from a piece of note. How dare the person! How dare a somebody rob his glamorous wardrobe and leave nothing behind but a mocking note?!

Seething, he threw the wardrobe doors closed and plopped down onto his bed, hands clutching his wet hair. All that clung onto him was a skimpy piece of bathrobe and a towel that was draped on his neck, and he was still dripping wet. Should have let one of these rubbish stand guard at the door of my room.

He just returned from a refreshing bath to discover the atrocity committed – his unnaturally empty wardrobe. It wasn't supposed to be so empty. It used to be rich with lots of expensive robes, limited edition shirts and very importantly, high quality styling gel. It used to be so well-stocked since about a quarter of his life was devoted to his exclusive wardrobe! Used to be.

But POOF!, some thief came in and took all his stuff, leaving him was so incredibly mad. Worse still, dinner had already started and he was really quite looking forward to a meal since he had not been able to go near any food since morning – studies was too demanding. Now, he couldn't get down to the Great Hall for dinner!

Why?

Because he was a shallow prick who wanted to be in his best attire for public occasions, occasions like dinner in the Great Hall, for example. And he wouldn't stoop low enough to wear any other people's clothes because those were second-hand – he was a Malfoy! Malfoy and second-hand businesses did not go together, did they?

They DIDN'T!

In addition, he could not possibly depend on Crabbe or Goyle to smuggle him food from the Great Hall – he knew those two would definitely have already attacked the alluring food a step before they left the hall itself.

His stomach growled. "Oh, fuck this."

---------------------

"Wow!" Kevin exclaimed, seeing a whole truckload of expensive black robes and many more prized possessions of a certain blonde Slytherin lying in the middle of the room. "Tell me how you did it, Ron!"

Ron puffed out his chest. "I, for one, carry out his Dares." As he said it, he eyed the other boy who, Ron knew, had thought that he didn't have the guts to do the deed. "And you don't have to know how I did it." Well, he really owed it to Harry, actually, but they didn't have to know that…

Kevin, still wide-eyed, gushed, "Awesome! I've been dying to have these gels! The way Malfoy wore them was amazing – I mean," he coughed a bit, awkward, "not bad." Truth was: the whole point of the Truth or Dare game was just to dare someone to get the gel for him… Kevin beamed at Ron.

---------------------

"Hey Zabini." Malfoy opened the door to find, horror of horrors, a fifth-year girl and Zabini almost naked on a single bed. "Zabini! Have the decency to lock the door, will you?"

Blaise Zabini snorted from his far-from-graceful position on the bed, "Have the decency to knock before entering, will you, Malfoy?"

"Get up. I want to talk to you." Malfoy ordered, ignoring Zabini's words.

Zabini kissed the girl lightly on the neck and muttered something into her ear before getting up in a flourish and donning a robe at the same time. Thank Merlin he has his boxers on.

"Right. So what's this all about?"

"My wardrobe was invaded." Malfoy divulged with a straight face, saying it as though it didn't really bother him a lot. "So I can't get to the Hall for dinner but I –"

Zabini raised an eyebrow. "You serious? Are we talking about the same wardrobe here? The one you so worshipped you would practically offer human sacrifices to it to keep it gleaming?" questioned Zabini incredulously.

Malfoy looked indignant. "Hey, that's not the point alright!"

Zabini shrugged. "Then what is?"

Malfoy muttered something soft in response.

"Did someone change your throat with a snail's or something?"

"I am hungry." Malfoy growled in a low, dangerous fashion.

Zabini thought for a while, his fingers drumming his chin lightly. "Am I supposed to understand what you mean by you saying that you're hungry?"

"'Get me some food, prick.' That was what I meant, okay?!" Malfoy replied, clearly annoyed.

"I don't like your tone. Go get it yourself." Zabini commented placidly. He was about to walk away before he added, "But seeing that you are a fellow Slytherin and all… My advice is: try the kitchen at one in the morning."

---------------------

Pfft. Malfoy only went to that darned Zabini because he was just next door since he couldn't possibly go knocking on every other door just to find a food delivery boy in his current state of appearance. Should have known, really, that that rascal could hardly be of any use to me, Malfoy silently berated at himself.

He had just written a letter to his mother to request for a new wardrobe-ful of robes, undergarments and of course, tubes of the very sacred styling gel to arrive in his room before dawn broke the following day. But he was still determined to make those filthy thieves pay – he had made this a resolution – after settling his stomach's woe.

"Merlin, I should have paid more attention to damn McGonagall and her damn clothes transfiguration spells." Malfoy cursed under his breath. Good thing was, he always preferred Flitwick, whom he could bully much easier, and knew just how a Disillusionment Charm worked.

So off he went to the kitchen, after consulting a large, simple but still useful map of Hogwarts in a section included in Hogwarts: A History, murmuring what turns to take at which junctions quietly to himself. He was only wearing that one piece of bathrobe in that late autumn and couldn't keep from shuddering as he walked in darkness…

"What's that I hear?" came a sharp exclamation. What Malfoy saw, ahead of him, was Peeve, the idiotic poltergeist.

Shit, of all things! Malfoy attempted to just quickly meander past him to get to the end of the corridor since Peeve might not be able to see him anyways. Suddenly, a hard object hit him square on his back, knocking the winds out of him and causing him to lose balance and go crashing onto the cold, solid ground. "Gah! What the –"

"HAHA! Think I can't see you, do you? HAHA! Think again."

Malfoy fumed. Right, maybe poltergeists have some weird powers to help them see through his charm. He looked at the offending object lying beside him... MERLIN! He got struck by this bottle of… black ink – with an awful stench! "Why, you little conniving evil –"

"LALALA! I love your song. Keep singing! OH! I see another one there!" Peeves pointed a finger down another corridor, then, being the dramatic creature Peeve was, he sighed wistfully, "What a busy, busy night."

"PEEVE YOU PIECE OF SCUM, for Merlin's sake would you please keep it down?" Filch's voice filtered through the darkness.

Just as Peeve zoomed away, still cackling madly to himself, Malfoy hastily shrugged off the stained and stinky bathrobe – he couldn't have Filch see a patch of ink fleeing in the direction of the kitchen, could he! It did not matter if he was butt naked and top naked! His stomach ruled at the moment!!

Then, as he dashed towards the portrait to the kitchen, he could not help but wonder… what was the 'another one' Peeve was referring to back there? But as the wall swung open after he whispered an easy password, all thoughts melted away as Malfoy stared at the grandeur of food on the table.

It's feasting time!
