Chapter 4

Draco was sleeping when he heard a light tapping. Groggily, he opened his eyes to see a small brown owl tapping it's beak on the window.

Pulling the covers off him, Draco walked to his window in only his shorts and let the impatient owl in.

Yawning, he took what looked like a rolled up magazine from the owl's leg and unfolded it. A note fell out.

Malfoy,

Thought you should be the first one to read your amazing work! Oh and by the way, you should be receiving a bill from Mr Lovegood; I managed to persuade him to send some copies to some friends of ours for a late charge. Hope you don't mind!

See you around,

Hermione

Angrily, Draco crumpled up the note and tossed it behind him. He scanned the front page of the magazine and saw his face smile up from the corner. Next to the photograph was a heading:

Draco Malfoy tells us what he really thinks about others!

He turned to the right page and found the same photo but enlarged and a small paragraph.

Here we have is a quote from Draco Malfoy himself speaking the truth of what is in his heart and mind and what he really thinks about his fellow students. An insider got the full scope:

I believe that everyone is equal; there is no difference in blood. Muggleborns and half-blood wizards and witches have an equal status to purebloods. Time has changed and so have rules. That's all. Oh one more thing I would like to say is that Gryffindor is the best house at Hogwarts.

There you have it, a statement from the man who grew up to believe that everyone apart from purebloods were inferior.

Draco crumpled the paper and chucked it out his window.

"You're going to pay for that Granger!" Draco said angrily before headed to the bathroom and slamming the door behind him.

On the other side of the castle, in the Great Hall, Hermione was laughing out loud, reading the same magazine Draco was mere moments ago and imagining his expression.

She clutched her stomach as it hurt from so much laughter. She didn't even notice Professor McGonagall walking in.

"Happy are we Miss Granger?" She said giving Hermione a peculiar look. Hermione tried as hard she could to stop laughing.

"You have no idea professor!"

"I'll leave you to it then." She said before walking the staff table.

Hermione continued leafing through the magazine for several minutes until she felt a presence cowering over her.

"Hello Malfoy!" Hermione said trying not to let the laughter overcome her again.

""I hate you." Draco said glowering at her, his hands folded across his chest.

"Tell me something I don't know!"

He sat down in front of her and began munching on her toast. The cross look was still on his face.

"I'm going to make you pay for this!"

"I don't care what you make me do but this was priceless!"

"Let's see if you say the same thing later!" he said angrily, grabbing some more toasts and leaving a hysterical Hermione behind.

On his way out, Draco bumped into professor Binns who grinned up at him.

"Morning Mr Malfoy. Lovely interview! I must say I'm glad you have changed your views on other wizards and witched like yourself. Couldn't have spoken better myself!"

Before Draco could say anything professor Binns skipped away disappearing behind the doors of the Great Hall.

"I'm going to kill you Granger!" was the last thing he said before storming back to the common room.

All day Draco had been receiving mail from people he didn't know, some hate and some praised.

The latest one he received was a hate mail from some man in his late forties,

Malfoy,

You are crazy! I have no idea what possessed you to utter such rubbish in a public magazine. You should be ashamed of yourself for comparing yourself, an honoured Malfoy, to a bunch of lowly mudbloods and half-bloods.

From someone who thinks you need to be admitted into the mental ward at St Mungos!

Some letters he had received praised him and told him how proud they were of him for finally doing something he thought was right and not what he had been taught by his father.

Somewhere inside of him, something sparked, making him feel as if he had done something right for the first time in ages.

Though it still didn't mean that he was forgiving Hermione for the stupid dare. He vowed to make her pay.

The day passed quickly as Draco lay on his back outside. For a December day, it wasn't too cold. The sun was slightly poking from the grey clouds above, warming the air through the chilly wind.

Draco had spent most of the day trying to think of the perfect dare for Hermione something she wouldn't expect from him.

The bell tower chimed and Draco got up heading straight fro the huge oak doors of the Great Hall.

The place seemed deserted apart from the few students who had stayed behind. Hermione was one of them.

Instead of the four long tables' one was set up, so reluctantly Draco grumpily walked towards Hermione and sat in front of her.

"Not still mad are we?" Hermione asked watching him carefully as he piled food onto his plate.

"Nope!" He lied. "It was a dare, no point in getting worked up over it."

Something was wrong, Hermione thought as she observed him. She was expecting him to be in the same mood as he was in the morning.

Draco knew what she was thinking of and smirked inside. She was in for a big surprise tonight, Draco thought, laughing in his mind, almost evily.
