"Well look on the bright side Hermione," Neville said as the two of them left the classroom, "At least we got out of class early."

"Normally I wouldn't be looking forward to having a class end so soon but considering that it's Umbridge..." Hermione trailed off as she stopped walking. Neville stopped walking as well and looked at her in confusion.

"What's the matter Hermione?" He asked.

Hermione frowned and turned to face Daphne, who had been glaring at her during class.

"Excuse me but is there a problem?" Hermione asked, "You seem rather upset."

"Why did he choose you?!" Daphne shouted, "What do you have that I don't?!"

"Who are you talking about?" Hermione asked, though she had a sinking feeling that she already knew the answer to her question.

"I'm talking about the most handsome man to exist, the Dark Prince!" Daphne shouted, "Oh I wish he had decided to pick me as his fiancée..."

'Your taste of men is rather pathetic.' Hermione thought to herself.

As Greengrass soon became lost in her daze of delusions, Hermione coughed to get the girl's attention.

"Well if that's all, how about we switch places?" Hermione said, "I'm sure that you two would be perfect together."

"Ah, how I wish I could..." Daphne sighed, "But he already has his sights set on you, unless..."

Greengrass looked at Hermione and started to mutter things under her breath, she then nodded and pointed at Hermione.

"Actually, how about we battle?" Daphne asked, "If I beat you, I get the Dark Prince all to myself!"

"You know, I'd be more than willing to give him up without getting into a fight." Hermione said, "So maybe we could talk this out like rational people?"

"Of course,...not." Daphne said, "I'm going to completely and utterly destroy you, then maybe Sa-I mean- the Dark Prince will pay attention to me!

"You're really eager about this..." Hermione said, "What do you see in him anyway?"

"Shut up Granger," Daphne said as she flipped her hair, "Let's battle!"

….

Dumbledore didn't want to admit it, but he was worried. He managed to keep his face as a blank as could be as he turned over the new information he had gotten. He decided to start with the 'good' information, luckily Harry would no longer be needed to get sacrificed to kill Voldemort. Somehow the explosion had destroyed Harry's scar, and the horcrux that clung to life was no more. Second, Harry was now...less than he used to be. On the bright side, Harry now had much more potential than he did before, on the downside the magic Harry now had was dark magic.

Dumbledore knew he shouldn't persecute the boy on that fact alone, Harry wouldn't be throwing Unforgivables around anytime soon. But there was still a seed of doubt in Dumbledore's mind, one he felt slightly ashamed for having. But he couldn't really be blamed, considering Harry's new goal for one of his friends.

"So Harry," Dumbledore began, "Can you please tell me why you chased Mr. Weasley all across Hogwarts?"

"He called me a pervert." Harry crossed his arms and glared at Ron who was seated next to him. "Which I'm not, by the way."

"You said you wanted to show me your 'sword'," Ron shot back, "The one that you lubricate every night."

"And what's wrong with that?" Harry asked, "Since we're both boys I'm sure you can revel in the pleasure of lubricating your sword."

"Ugh."

"Ahem, Harry don't you think your language needs some work?" Dumbledore asked, "You may rub people in the wrong way."

"I would never rub someone in the wrong way!" Harry shouted, "I'd be really gentle!"

Dumbledore sighed, and secretly stuck a few lemon drops in his mouth...

….

"Alright, just a little further to the right..." Draco said as his goons struggled to hang a painting of himself on the wall, "And a little to the left...perfect!"

"What the hell is going on here?" Theodore Nott said as he walked into the Slytherin common room. There were various photos of Draco on display, heart shaped pillows were everywhere, and there was an odd stench of perfume that hung in the air.

"Oh, I'm just getting this room ready for my date with Ar-Hermione." Draco said. "I plan to propose to her tonight, isn't that nice?"

'I don't think she'd ever agree to marry you.' Nott thought, but he didn't say it out loud. He had seen what had happened to Weasley when he angered Malfoy. He wasn't stupid enough to do piss Malfoy off, now that Malfoy was the strongest out of everyone in Slytherin.

'...even if he does use his power for stupid things,' Nott thought to himself, 'I'm kind of curious to see how this plan of his turns out.'

"Hey Draco-" Nott began but Draco cut him off,

"You may address me only as the Dark Prince." Draco said.

"...fine, Dark Prince don't you think this room is a bit...tacky?" Nott continued.

"What did you say?"

"I-I mean if you went on a date with someone you wouldn't want to be in an environment like this," Nott quickly spoke when he saw Draco-the Dark Prince- narrow his eyes at him, "I mean why don't you take her out for a walk, or to Hogsmeade or something?"

"He's got a point there boss," Goyle said.

Draco frowned in thought before he looked up, "Alright then," Draco said, "Why don't you tell me more?"

….

"I can't believe I actually lost to you!" Daphne shouted as their game finally ended. Hermione sighed, the rules of the game were pretty simple, match four of the jellies of the same color and you'd get points. It was making chains to score many points that was the hard part, but she somehow managed to beat Greengrass...

'Wait I didn't want to beat her, I wanted to lose!' Hermione thought to herself, she wasn't exactly sure what had gotten into her but once the two of them had started playing she'd gotten really competitive all of a sudden...

"Ah, to see my fiancée look so happy after securing a victory!" Hermione heard a voice say, and she turned to see that Draco was standing in the hallway. "It brings great joy to my heart!"

"What do you want Malfoy?" Hermione asked. "And for the last time, I'm not your fiancée!"

"Ah well you see Hermione, I've put together a something special for today," Draco said, "You'll have to come to the forest to see it for yourself!"

"What did you do in the forest?" Hermione asked.

"That's a S-E-C-R-E-T!"

Hermione frowned and Draco laughed,

"See you soon, my love!" Draco said as he turned and walked away before he broke out into laughter..."
