Drabble Three - The DA Meeting
Draco shifted uncomfortably beside Hermione. He didn't like being surrounded by Gryffindorks one little bit, but she'd insisted that if he wanted to help the Light, he had to join the stupid group. The things he did for love…
Harry stood up and cleared his throat.
"I'd like to thank you all for coming today. By joining us you are pledging your allegiance to Dumbledore, the Light, and a better future! I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate -"
Draco suppressed a derisive snort but was unable to stop himself commenting,
"And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
"Oh, honestly!" Hermione huffed. "If you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say anything at all!"
"You need to think more like a Death Eater if you're going to beat them," the Slytherin protested.
"What, murder people who don't agree with us? Yes, because then we'd really be sticking to our principles!" the bushy-haired girl snapped.
Draco gave up and Harry continued with his speech, outlining his (highly flawed, in Draco's opinion) plans for defeating Voldemort.
Ten minutes later, everyone else at the meeting had given their approval to Harry's plans.
"Malfoy?" the Boy-Who-Just-Wouldn't-Die prompted.
The Slytherin stared back at him with a blank expression. Everyone was watching the pale boy now.
"Any comments?"
The blond conjured a quill and a piece of parchment, scrawling a message which he then held up for everyone to see:
I don't have anything nice to say, so I'm not going to say anything at all.
Hermione shook with barely-contained laughter.
"You did what she told you to!" Ron observed, shocked.
"Of course; she's always right. Is the meeting over?"
A gobsmacked Harry nodded mutely.
"Good." Draco turned to the girl next to him.
"Will you go out with me now, Hermione?"
A/N: I hope you liked this! I'm not so sure about it... The quote is in italics and from a comedian called Jack Handey (I actually saw it on someone's profile, but I can't remember who's…if it was you thank you very much!)
Let me know if you have any comments or quote suggestions :)
