Previously: Malfoy wore a dress, Katie roundhouse kicked him in the face, and Quidditch matches were challenged.
Chapter Four: Secretly, They're in Love
The next day was the most eventful that Katie had had so far. It all started as they entered Potions class. Hermione asked Nicole if she really had a decorated was.
"You haven't noticed?" Nicole asked.
Hermione shook her head. Nicole pulled out her wand to show it off. It was gold with forest green fillagree. Lauren, who was always excited about her wand, showed off her zebra print. Emilie's was sparkling hot pink and hard not to notice. It took a bit of persuading to get Katie to show hers. It was black, with a Chinese dragon embossed in silver.
"What an ugly wand," Malfoy snorted from his place against the wall.
"You're just jealous," Katie replied.
The argument was prevented from going farther when Snape opened the classroom door.

Potions was always the most exciting class of the day. Charles always managed to make his potion explode. Snape learned to steer clear of whatever table Charles occupied. And only those unfortunate enough to come late sat by him. Students had started to gathering outside of the Potions classroom right after breakfast to avoid that fate.
Today, Katie was stuck at a table with Matt, Malfoy, and Pansy Parkinson. Frankly, Matt was surprised that Katie's potion was coming out alright. The entire time she was bickering with Malfoy.
"You just don't want to admit that your wand is the ugliest thing on the face of the planet!" Malfoy was saying.
"You're just jealous that my wand is cooler that yours," Katie snapped back.
"Me jealous?" he snorted. "I don't get jealous."
"That's what she said,"
"Excuse me?"
"I don't thing there is an excuse for you,"
"You need to learn how to speak to your superiors,"
"Well, that defiantly wouldn't be you."
"Oh, so you think you're better than me?"
"I don't think, I know,"
"What makes you better than me?"
"I'm a ninja."
". . ."
" . . ."
". . ."
". . ."
"What?!"
"I'm a ninja,"
"She is," Matt cut in.
"That's ridiculous," Malfoy scoffed.
"Not as ridiculous as your face," Katie said.
"Enough," Snape's arrival at the table stopped the argument. "Detention, both of you. Tomorrow at eight o'clock."
"But-" Malfoy started to protest.
"No 'but's. You'll be working together, so be prepared."
Nicole and Emilie then suffered from an outbreak of musical turrets.
"Sure we'll be prepared. Prepared for what?" Emilie started.
"For the death of the king," Nicole replied.
"Why, is he sick?"
"No fool, we're gonna kill him. And Simba too,"
"There's room for one more in detention," Snape warned, "And ten points from Griffindor."
Nicole flipped him off behind his back.

Katie was stuck with Malfoy in Magical Creatures because the class was still working with the Nifflers. The two didn't speak to each other, but they still gave each other dirty looks.
"I swear, those two are gonna start makin' out any second," Jon said.
"I know, tell me about it," Lauren replied rolling her eyes.
"Um, it actually looks like they want to kill each other," Liam said, confused.
"Those sparks flying between them mean they're madly in love," Nicole explained.
"I don't get it," Mitch said.
Well, Mitch finally had a line. Poor Mitch. Please review.
