I am not allowed to set up a first-year on a blind date with Moaning Mrytle

"Hey, kid! What's your name. Never mind I don't care. Come with me." The words spilled out as Draco grabbed a hold of the first new Slytherin recruit he saw, dragging the poor boy along by his collar.

The first year was too stunned did not struggle, though his tongue was not so compliant. "I didn't do anything!"

"I know." Draco answered reaching their destination. He let the first year go, and turned the boy towards him. Merlin but he was small, " You are to go in there and stay until dinner. If you fail to comply with my orders you will receive detentions every night for the remainder of the year. Understand?" Draco asked. The boy nodded looking to the door Draco had pointed out.

"I'm not going in there, it's the girl's loo. No!" The first year argued now struggling to get away from the mental Head boy.

Draco not persuaded pushed the boy towards the opening.

"You will or I will hex you. And believe me when I say, you do not want to be at the end of my Densaugeo just ask the Head girl." Draco told the boy, getting one up on Granger certainly had perks.

"Okay, so if I don't go in…" The boy was cut off .

"There is no, 'if you don't.' Your going in even if I have to manually place you in there and seal the door shut." Draco explained.

The boy tried to swallow the lump forming in his throat. Draco's eyes boring into his skin. The boy slowly nodded accepting his fait.

"Good. Oh, wait don't forget these." Pulling a small pebble from his pocked Draco Transfigured it in to a large bouquet of red roses. "I realize she's dead but it's the thought that counts." smirking Draco shoved the boy and flowers through the bath room door.

Before leaving a sealing charm was placed on the entrance that would last until dinner. There was no way Draco was going to stand guard to make sure the boy didn't run off once he realized how awful Moaning Mrytle was.

The fire was ablaze as Hermione sat reading in the heads common room. She felt personally satisfied with the days events taking note on how she had went out of her way to help another soul feel recognized. It was the satisfaction of this true accomplishment that distracted Hermione to the point, she didn't even know Draco had entered the common room until he took a set across form her self.

"Granger." Draco greeted looking smug and arrogant.

"What have you done?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, that your self would appreciate." He told her leaning back in his chair.

"Try me." She suggested.

"Something for someone else." He told her feeling truly justified over his actions.

Hermione scoffed. "Malfoy, you never do anything with out some kind of pay off."

"Well then I suppose there is a first for everything. I did a good deed, Granger, and do not need your approval." Draco told her.

Hermione was now too riveted to leave well enough alone. "And for who did you do this completely selfless action for?" she asked teasingly.

Draco sat forward leaning in, " I think we could call her a mutual friend."

Hermione smiled placing her book on the arm chair next to her matching Malfoy's pose. Leaning over so their knees barely touched.

"I did not realize we had any mutual friends." Hermione point out.

The smirk on Draco's face widen, "She's not well liked, and not quite alive." His clues where more than enough to for Hermione to put two and two together.

Hermione broke out laughing she really couldn't help it.

Draco was offended.

"What's so funny, Granger! The ghost is lonely! I was just trying to help!" Draco shouted.

This only made Hermione laugh harder falling back in her chair.

Draco sat back now sulking, what ever had come over the Head girl to find his good deed so humorous.

Between fits of laughter Hermione looked over noticing Draco's dark expression. She quickly tried to calm down so she could explain.

"I was not laughing at you." Giggle. "I was laughing at the situation." Giggle.

"What situation?" Draco asked.

"Did you set a first year up on a date with Moaning Mrytle tonight?" Hermione asked still snickering.

Draco nodded numbly.

Hermione broke out laughing again. "I did too." she admitted between laughter and gasping for air.

Draco sat registering what Hermione had just told him, a snicker escaping his lips.

"You didn't!" He exclaimed looking to the Head girl.

Not being able to form words at the moment Hermione nodded tears now running down her cheeks.

Draco soon joined in not being able to contain the laughter.
